< Jeremiah 42 >
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
Et accesserunt omnes principes bellatorum, et Iohanan filius Caree, et Iezonias filius Osaiae, et reliquum vulgus a parvo usque ad magnum:
2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto Yhwh thy God, even for all this remnant; ( for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us: )
Dixeruntque ad Ieremiam prophetam: Cadat oratio nostra in conspectu tuo: et ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum tuum pro universis reliquiis istis, quia derelicti sumus pauci de pluribus, sicut oculi tui nos intuentur:
3 That Yhwh thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
Et annunciet nobis Dominus Deus tuus viam, per quam pergamus, et verbum, quod faciamus.
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto Yhwh your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing Yhwh shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
Dixit autem ad eos Ieremias propheta: Audivi: ecce ego oro ad Dominum Deum vestrum secundum verba vestra. omne verbum, quodcumque responderit mihi, indicabo vobis: nec celabo vos quidquam.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, Yhwh be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which Yhwh thy God shall send thee to us.
Et illi dixerunt ad Ieremiam: Sit Dominus inter nos testis veritatis et fidei, si non iuxta omne verbum, in quo miserit te Dominus Deus tuus ad nos, sic faciemus.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of Yhwh our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of Yhwh our God.
Sive bonum est, sive malum, voci Domini Dei nostri, ad quem mittimus te, obediemus. ut bene sit nobis cum audierimus vocem Domini Dei nostri.
7 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of Yhwh came unto Jeremiah.
Cum autem completi essent decem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam.
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Vocavitque Iohanan filium Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, et universum populum a minimo usque ad magnum.
9 And said unto them, Thus saith Yhwh, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
Et dixit ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel, ad quem misistis me, ut prosternerem preces vestras in conspectu eius:
10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
Si quiescentes manseritis in terra hac, aedificabo vos, et non destruam; plantabo, et non evellam: iam enim placatus sum super malo quod feci vobis.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith Yhwh: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Nolite timere a facie regis Babylonis, quem vos pavidi formidatis: nolite metuere eum, dicit Dominus: quia vobiscum sum ego, ut salvos vos faciam, et eruam de manu eius.
12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Et dabo vobis misericordias, et miserebor vestri, et habitare vos faciam in terra vestra.
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of Yhwh your God,
Si autem dixeritis vos: Non habitabimus in terra ista, nec audiemus vocem Domini Dei nostri,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
dicentes: Nequaquam, sed ad Terram Aegypti pergemus: ubi non videbimus bellum, et clangorem tubae non audiemus, et famem non sustinebimus: et ibi habitabimus:
15 And now therefore hear the word of Yhwh, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Propter hoc nunc audite verbum Domini reliquiae Iuda: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Si posueritis faciem vestram ut ingrediamini Aegyptum, et intraveritis ut ibi habitetis:
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
gladius, quem vos formidatis, ibi comprehendet vos in Terra Aegypti: et fames, pro qua estis soliciti, adhaerebit vobis in Aegypto, et ibi moriemini.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
Omnesque viri, qui posuerint faciem suam ut ingrediantur Aegyptum, ut habitent ibi, morientur gladio, et fame, et peste: nullus de eis remanebit, nec effugiet a facie mali, quod ego afferam super eos.
18 For thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Sicut conflatus est furor meus, et indignatio mea super habitatores Ierusalem: sic conflabitur indignatio mea super vos, cum ingressi fueritis Aegyptum, et eritis in iusiurandum, et in stuporem, et in maledictum, et in opprobrium: et nequaquam ultra videbitis locum istum.
19 Yhwh hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
Verbum Domini super vos reliquiae Iuda: Nolite intrare Aegyptum: scientes scietis quia obtestatus sum vos hodie,
20 For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto Yhwh your God, saying, Pray for us unto Yhwh our God; and according unto all that Yhwh our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
quia decepistis animas vestras: vos enim misistis me ad Dominum Deum nostrum dicentes: Ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum nostrum, et iuxta omnia quaecumque dixerit tibi Dominus Deus noster, sic annuncia nobis, et faciemus.
21 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of Yhwh your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
Et annunciavi vobis hodie, et non audistis vocem Domini Dei vestri super universis, pro quibus misit me ad vos.
22 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
Nunc ergo scientes scietis quia gladio, et fame, et peste moriemini in loco, ad quem voluistis intrare ut habitaretis ibi.
