Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Verba Ieremiae filii Helciae, de sacerdotibus, qui fuerunt in Anathoth, in Terra Beniamin.
2 To whom the word of YHWH came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Quod factum est verbum Domini ad eum in diebus Iosiae filii Amon regis Iuda, in tertiodecimo anno regni eius.
3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
Et factum est in diebus Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, usque ad consummationem undecimi anni Sedeciae filii Iosiae regis Iuda, usque ad transmigrationem Ierusalem, in mense quinto.
4 Then the word of YHWH came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Priusquam te formarem in utero, novi te: et antequam exires de vulva, sanctificavi te, et prophetam in Gentibus dedi te.
6 Then said I, Ah, Soveriegn YHWH! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
Et dixi, A a a, Domine Deus: ecce nescio loqui, quia puer ego sum.
7 But YHWH said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Noli dicere: Puer sum: quoniam ad omnia, quae mittam te, ibis: et universa, quaecumque mandavero tibi, loqueris.
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith YHWH.
Ne timeas a facie eorum: quia tecum ego sum ut eruam te, dicit Dominus.
9 Then YHWH put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And YHWH said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Et misit Dominus manum suam, et tetigit os meum: et dixit Dominus ad me: Ecce dedi verba mea in ore tuo:
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
ecce constitui te hodie super Gentes, et super regna ut evellas, et destruas, et disperdas, et dissipes, et aedifices, et plantes.
11 Moreover the word of YHWH came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: Quid tu vides Ieremia? Et dixi: Virgam vigilantem ego video.
12 Then said YHWH unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Bene vidisti, quia vigilabo ego super verbo meo ut faciam illud.
13 And the word of YHWH came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad me, dicens: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Ollam succensam ego video, et faciem eius a facie Aquilonis.
14 Then YHWH said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Ab Aquilone pandetur omne malum super omnes habitatores terrae.
15 For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith YHWH; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
quia ecce ego convocabo omnes cognationes regnorum Aquilonis, ait Dominus: et venient et ponent unusquisque solium suum in introitu portarum Ierusalem, et super omnes muros eius in circuitu, et super universas urbes Iuda.
16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other elohim, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Et loquar iudicia mea cum eis super omnem malitiam eorum, qui dereliquerunt me, et libaverunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt opus manuum suarum.
17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
Tu ergo accinge lumbos tuos, et surge, et loquere ad eos omnia quae ego praecipio tibi. Ne formides a facie eorum: nec enim timere te faciam vultum eorum.
18 For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
Ego quippe dedi te hodie in civitatem munitam, et in columnam ferream, et in murum aereum, super omnem terram, regibus Iuda, principibus eius, et sacerdotibus, et populo terrae.
19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith YHWH, to deliver thee.
Et bellabunt adversum te, et non praevalebunt: quia ego tecum sum, ait Dominus, ut liberem te.
