Jeremiah 1
1 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are] in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin,
Verba Ieremiæ filii Helciæ, de sacerdotibus, qui fuerunt in Anathoth, in Terra Beniamin.
2 to whom the word of YHWH has been in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign,
Quod factum est verbum Domini ad eum in diebus Iosiæ filii Amon regis Iuda, in tertiodecimo anno regni eius.
3 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the expulsion of Jerusalem in the fifth month.
Et factum est in diebus Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, usque ad consummationem undecimi anni Sedeciæ filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, usque ad transmigrationem Ierusalem, in mense quinto.
4 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
5 “Before I form you in the belly, I have known you; and before you come forth from the womb I have separated you; I have made you a prophet to the nations.”
Priusquam te formarem in utero, novi te: et antequam exires de vulva, sanctificavi te, et prophetam in Gentibus dedi te.
6 And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH! Behold, I have not known—to speak, for I [am] a youth.”
Et dixi, A a a, Domine Deus: ecce nescio loqui, quia puer ego sum.
7 And YHWH says to me, “Do not say, I [am] a youth, for to all to whom I send you—go, and all that I command you—speak.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Noli dicere: Puer sum: quoniam ad omnia, quæ mittam te, ibis: et universa, quæcumque mandavero tibi, loqueris.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces, for I [am] with you to deliver you,” a declaration of YHWH.
Ne timeas a facie eorum: quia tecum ego sum ut eruam te, dicit Dominus.
9 And YHWH puts forth His hand, and strikes against my mouth, and YHWH says to me, “Behold, I have put My words in your 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 charged you this day concerning the nations, and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break 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 ædifices, et plantes.
11 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “I am seeing 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 And YHWH says to me, “You have seen well: for I am watching over My word to do it.”
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Bene vidisti, quia vigilabo ego super verbo meo ut faciam illud.
13 And there is a word of YHWH to me a second time, saying, “What are you seeing?” And I say, “I am seeing a blown pot, and its face [is] from 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 And YHWH says to me, “From the north the evil is loosed against all inhabitants of the land.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Ab Aquilone pandetur malum super omnes habitatores terræ.
15 For behold, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they have come, and each put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and by its walls all around, and by all 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 have spoken My judgments with them concerning all their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make incense to other gods, and bow themselves to 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 And you, you gird up your loins, and have arisen, and spoken to them all that I command you: do not be frightened because of them, lest I frighten you before them.
Tu ergo accinge lumbos tuos, et surge, et loquere ad eos omnia quæ ego præcipio tibi. Ne formides a facie eorum: nec enim timere te faciam vultum eorum.
18 And I, behold, have given you this day for a fortified city, and for an iron pillar, and for bronze walls over all the land, to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the people of the land;
Ego quippe dedi te hodie in civitatem munitam, et in columnam ferream, et in murum æreum, super omnem terram, regibus Iuda, principibus eius, et sacerdotibus, et populo terræ.
19 and they have fought against you, and they do not prevail against you; for I [am] with you,” a declaration of YHWH, “to deliver you.”
Et bellabunt adversum te, et non prævalebunt: quia ego tecum sum, ait Dominus, ut liberem te.
