Jeremiah 16
1 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
2 “You do not take a wife to yourself, Nor do you have sons and daughters in this place.”
[Non accipies uxorem, et non erunt tibi filii et filiæ in loco isto.
3 For thus said YHWH, Of the sons and of the daughters who are born in this place, And of their mothers—those bearing them, And of their fathers—those begetting them in this land:
Quia hæc dicit Dominus super filios et filias qui generantur in loco isto, et super matres eorum, quæ genuerunt eos, et super patres eorum, de quorum stirpe sunt nati in terra hac:
4 “They die painful deaths, They are not lamented, nor are they buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground, And are consumed by sword and by famine, And their carcass has been for food To the bird of the heavens, And to the beast of the earth.”
Mortibus ægrotationum morientur: non plangentur, et non sepelientur: in sterquilinium super faciem terræ erunt, et gladio et fame consumentur: et erit cadaver eorum in escam volatilibus cæli et bestiis terræ.
5 For thus said YHWH: “Do not enter the house of a mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I have removed My peace from this people,” A declaration of YHWH, “The kindness and the mercies.
Hæc enim dicit Dominus: Ne ingrediaris domum convivii, neque vadas ad plangendum, neque consoleris eos, quia abstuli pacem meam a populo isto, dicit Dominus, misericordiam et miserationes.
6 And great and small have died in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor does any cut himself, nor become bald for them.
Et morientur grandes et parvi in terra ista: non sepelientur, neque plangentur, et non se incident, neque calvitium fiet pro eis.
7 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of consolations For his father and for his mother.
Et non frangent inter eos lugenti panem ad consolandum super mortuo, et non dabunt eis potum calicis ad consolandum super patre suo et matre.
8 You do not enter a house of banqueting, To sit with them, to eat and to drink,”
Et domum convivii non ingrediaris, ut sedeas cum eis, et comedas, et bibas.
9 For thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice of bridegroom and voice of bride.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Ecce ego auferam de loco isto, in oculis vestris, et in diebus vestris, vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsæ.
10 And it has come to pass, When you declare all these words to this people, And they have said to you, Why has YHWH spoken all this great evil against us? Indeed, what [is] our iniquity, and what [is] our sin, That we have sinned against our God YHWH?
Et cum annuntiaveris populo huic omnia verba hæc, et dixerint tibi: Quare locutus est Dominus super nos omne malum grande istud? quæ iniquitas nostra, et quod peccatum nostrum, quod peccavimus Domino Deo nostro?
11 Then you have said to them: Because that your fathers have forsaken Me, A declaration of YHWH, And go after other gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And have forsaken Me, and not kept My law,
dices ad eos: Quia dereliquerunt me patres vestri, ait Dominus, et abierunt post deos alienos, et servierunt eis, et adoraverunt eos, et me dereliquerunt, et legem meam non custodierunt.
12 You also have done evil above your fathers, And behold, you are each walking after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as not to listen to Me.
Sed et vos pejus operati estis quam patres vestri: ecce enim ambulat unusquisque post pravitatem cordis sui mali, ut me non audiat.
13 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that you have not known, You and your fathers, And you have served other gods there by day and by night, Where I do not give grace to you.
Et ejiciam vos de terra hac in terram quam ignoratis, vos et patres vestri: et servietis ibi diis alienis, die ac nocte, qui non dabunt vobis requiem.
14 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is not said anymore, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et non dicetur ultra: Vivit Dominus qui eduxit filios Israël de terra Ægypti,
15 But, YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands to where He drove them, And I have brought them back to their land, That I gave to their fathers.
sed: Vivit Dominus qui eduxit filios Israël de terra aquilonis, et de universis terris ad quas ejeci eos: et reducam eos in terram suam, quam dedi patribus eorum.
16 Behold, I am sending for many fishers,” A declaration of YHWH, “And they have fished them, And after this I send for many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks.
Ecce ego mittam piscatores multos, dicit Dominus, et piscabuntur eos: et post hæc mittam eis multos venatores, et venabuntur eos de omni monte, et de omni colle, et de cavernis petrarum.
17 For My eyes [are] on all their ways, They have not been hidden from My face, Nor has their iniquity been concealed from before My eyes.
Quia oculi mei super omnes vias eorum: non sunt absconditæ a facie mea, et non fuit occultata iniquitas eorum ab oculis meis.
18 And I have repaid a first—A second time—their iniquity and their sin, Because of their defiling My land, With the carcass of their detestable things, Indeed, their abominations have filled My inheritance.”
Et reddam primum duplices iniquitates et peccata eorum, quia contaminaverunt terram meam in morticinis idolorum suorum, et abominationibus suis impleverunt hæreditatem meam.
19 O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in a day of adversity, Nations come to You from the ends of the earth, And say, “Our fathers only inherited falsehood, Vanity, and none among them is profitable.”
Domine, fortitudo mea, et robur meum, et refugium meum in die tribulationis, ad te gentes venient ab extremis terræ, et dicent: Vere mendacium possederunt patres nostri, vanitatem quæ eis non profuit.
20 Does man make gods for himself, And they—no gods?
Numquid faciet sibi homo deos, et ipsi non sunt dii?
21 “Therefore, behold, I am causing them to know at this time, I cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known that My Name [is] YHWH!”
Idcirco ecce ego ostendam eis per vicem hanc, ostendam eis manum meam, et virtutem meam, et scient quia nomen mihi Dominus.]
