Jeremiah 34
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, quando Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et omnis exercitus eius, universaque regna terrae, quae erant sub potestate manus eius, et omnes populi bellabant contra Ierusalem, et contra omnes urbes eius, dicens:
2 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Vade, et loquere ad Sedechiam regem Iuda: et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem hanc in manus regis Babylonis, et succendet eam igne.
3 And you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.
Et tu non effugies de manu eius: sed comprehensione capieris, et in manu eius traderis: et oculi tui oculos regis Babylonis videbunt, et os eius cum ore tuo loquetur, et Babylonem introibis.
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus says the LORD of you, You shall not die by the sword:
Attamen audi verbum Domini Sedecia rex Iuda: Haec dicit Dominus ad te: Non morieris in gladio,
5 But you shall die in peace: and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings which were before you, so shall they burn odours for you; and they will lament you, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, says the LORD.
sed in pace morieris, et secundum combustiones patrum tuorum regum priorum qui fuerunt ante te, sic comburent te: et vae domine, plangent te: quia verbum ego locutus sum, dicit Dominus.
6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Et locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Sedechiam regem Iuda universa verba haec in Ierusalem.
7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
Et exercitus regis Babylonis pugnabat contra Ierusalem, et contra omnes civitates Iuda, quae reliquae erant contra Lachis, et contra Azecha: hae enim supererant de civitatibus Iuda, urbes munitae.
8 This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, postquam percussit rex Sedechias foedus cum omni populo in Ierusalem, praedicans:
9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to know, of a Jew his brother.
Ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum, et unusquisque ancillam suam, Hebraeum et Hebraeam liberos: et nequaquam dominarentur eis, id est in Iudaeo et fratre suo.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should make use of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
Audierunt ergo omnes principes et universus populus, qui inierant pactum ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum, et unusquisque ancillam suam liberos, et ultra non dominarentur eis: audierunt igitur, et dimiserunt.
11 But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Et conversi sunt deinceps: et retraxerunt servos et ancillas suas, quos dimiserant liberos, et subiugaverunt in famulos et famulas.
12 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
13 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Ego percussi foedus cum patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti de domo servitutis, dicens:
14 At the end of seven years let all of you go every man his brother an Hebrew, which has been sold unto you; and when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
Cum completi fuerint septem anni, dimittat unusquisque fratrem suum Hebraeum, qui venditus est ei, et serviet tibi sex annis: et dimittes eum a te liberum: et non audierunt patres vestri me, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam.
15 And all of you were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and all of you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Et conversi estis vos hodie, et fecistis quod rectum est in oculis meis, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque ad amicum suum: et inistis pactum in conspectu meo in domo, in qua invocatum est nomen meum super eam.
16 But all of you turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
Et reversi estis, et commaculastis nomen meum: et reduxistis unusquisque servum suum, et unusquisque ancillam suam, quos dimiseratis ut essent liberi et suae potestatis: et subiugastis eos ut sint vobis servi et ancillae.
17 Therefore thus says the LORD; All of you have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, says the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Vos non audistis me, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque fratri suo, et unusquisque amico suo: ecce ego praedico vobis libertatem, ait Dominus ad gladium, ad pestem, et ad famem: et dabo vos in commotionem cunctis regnis terrae.
18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts thereof,
Et dabo viros, qui praevaricantur foedus meum, et non observaverunt verba foederis, quibus assensi sunt in conspectu meo, vitulum quem conciderunt in duas partes, et transierunt inter divisiones eius:
19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
Principes Iuda et principes Ierusalem, eunuchi et sacerdotes, et omnis populus terrae, qui transierunt inter divisiones vituli:
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for food unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
Et dabo eos in manus inimicorum suorum, et in manus quaerentium animam eorum: et erit morticinum eorum in escam volatilibus caeli, et bestiis terrae.
21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
Et Sedechiam regem Iuda, et principes eius dabo in manus inimicorum suorum, et in manus quaerentium animas eorum, et in manus exercituum regis Babylonis, qui recesserunt a vobis.
22 Behold, I will command, says the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
Ecce ego praecipio, dicit Dominus, et reducam eos in civitatem hanc, et praeliabuntur adversus eam, et capient eam, et incendent igne: et civitates Iuda dabo in solitudinem, eo quod non sit habitator.
