Jeremiah 25
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah—it [is] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—
Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam de omni populo Iuda in anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, (ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis.)
2 Which Jeremiah the prophet has spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iuda, et ad universos habitatores Ierusalem, dicens:
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and to this day—this twenty-third year—the word of YHWH has been to me, and I speak to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened;
A tertiodecimo anno Iosiæ filii Amon regis Iuda usque ad diem hanc; iste tertius et vigesimus annus, factum est verbum Domini ad me, et locutus sum ad vos de nocte consurgens, et loquens, et non audistis.
4 and YHWH has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying,
Et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque et non audistis, neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis
5 Please turn back, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers from age to age,
cum diceret: Revertimini unusquisque a via sua mala, et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris: et habitabitis in terra, quam dedit Dominus vobis, et patribus vestris a sæculo et usque in sæculum.
6 and you do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do you provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;
Et nolite ire post deos alienos ut serviatis eis, adoretisque eos: neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum, et non affligam vos.
7 and you have not listened to Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum in malum vestrum.
8 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: Because that you have not obeyed My words,
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea:
9 behold, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north—a declaration of YHWH—even to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for continuous ruins.
ecce ego mittam, et assumam universas cognationes Aquilonis, ait Dominus, et Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum: et adducam eos super terram istam, et super habitatores eius, et super omnes nationes, quæ in circuitu illius sunt: et interficiam eos, et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum, et in solitudines sempiternas.
10 And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
Perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi, et vocem sponsæ, vocem molæ, et lumen lucernæ.
11 And all this land has been for a desolation, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.
Et erit universa terra hæc in solitudinem, et in stuporem: et servient omnes gentes istæ regi Babylonis septuaginta annis.
12 And it has come to pass, at the fullness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation,” a declaration of YHWH, “their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for continuous desolations.
Cumque impleti fuerint septuaginta anni, visitabo super regem Babylonis, et super gentem illam, dicit Dominus, iniquitatem eorum, et super terram Chaldæorum: et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas.
13 And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this scroll, that Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.
Et adducam super terram illam, omnia verba mea, quæ locutus sum contra eam, omne quod scriptum est in libro isto, quæcumque prophetavit Ieremias adversum omnes gentes:
14 For laid service on them—also them—have many nations and great kings, and I have given repayment to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.”
Quia servierunt eis cum essent gentes multæ, et reges magni: et reddam eis secundum opera eorum, et secundum facta manuum suarum.
15 For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: “Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you;
Quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Sume calicem vini furoris huius de manu mea: et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus, ad quas ego mittam te.
16 and they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.”
Et bibent, et turbabuntur, et insanient a facie gladii, quem ego mittam inter eos.
17 And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH sent me:
Et accepi calicem de manu Domini, et propinavi cunctis gentibus, ad quas misit me Dominus:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to ruin, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day;
Ierusalem, et civitatibus Iuda, et regibus eius, et principibus eius: ut darem eos in solitudinem, et in stuporem, et in sibilum, et in maledictionem, sicut est dies ista:
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
Pharaoni regi Ægypti, et servis eius, et principibus eius, et omni populo eius,
20 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,
et universis generaliter: cunctis regibus terræ Ausitidis, et cunctis regibus terræ Philisthiim, et Ascaloni, et Gazæ, et Accaron, et reliquiis Azoti,
21 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
et Idumææ, et Moab, et filiis Ammon:
22 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Sidon, And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,
Et cunctis regibus Tyri, et universis regibus Sidonis: et regibus terræ insularum, qui sunt trans mare.
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
Et Dedan, et Thema, et Buz, et universis qui attonsi sunt in comam.
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
Et cunctis regibus Arabiæ, et cunctis regibus Occidentis, qui habitant in deserto.
25 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
Et cunctis regibus Zambri, et cunctis regibus Elam, et cunctis regibus Medorum:
26 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off to one another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And King Sheshach drinks after them.
cunctis quoque regibus Aquilonis de prope et de longe, unicuique contra fratrem suum: et omnibus regnis terræ, quæ super faciem eius sunt: et rex Sesach bibet post eos.
27 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Drink, indeed drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and do not rise, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Bibite, et inebriamini, et vomite: et cadite, neque surgatis a facie gladii, quem ego mittam inter vos.
28 And it has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: You certainly drink.
Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua ut bibant, dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Bibentes bibetis:
29 For behold, in the city over which My Name is called, I am beginning to bring ruin, And are you entirely acquitted? You are not acquitted, for I am proclaiming a sword, For all inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
quia ecce in civitate, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ego incipiam affligere, et vos quasi innocentes et immunes eritis? non eritis immunes: gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatores terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum.
30 “And you, you prophesy all these words to them, and have said to them: YHWH roars from the high place, And gives forth His voice from His holy habitation, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as those treading [the grapes], God answers all the inhabitants of the land,
Et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba hæc, et dices ad illos: Dominus de excelso rugiet, et de habitaculo sancto suo dabit vocem suam: rugiens rugiet super decorem suum: celeuma quasi calcantium concinetur adversus omnes habitatores terræ.
31 A rumbling has come to the end of the earth, For YHWH has a controversy with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, He has given the wicked to the sword,” A declaration of YHWH.
Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terræ: quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus: iudicatur ipse cum omni carne, impios tradidi gladio, dicit Dominus.
32 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce afflictio egredietur de gente in gentem: et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terræ.
33 And the pierced of YHWH have been in that day, From the end of the earth even to the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground.
Et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa a summo terræ usque ad summum eius: non plangentur, et non colligentur, neque sepelientur: in sterquilinium super faciem terræ iacebunt.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you majestic of the flock, For your days have been full For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable vessel.
Ululate pastores, et clamate: et aspergite vos cinere optimates gregis: quia completi sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini: et dissipationes vestræ, et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa.
35 And refuge has perished from the shepherds, And escape from the majestic of the flock.
Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the majestic of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
Vox clamoris pastorum, et ululatus optimatum gregis: quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum.
37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
Et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie iræ furoris Domini.
38 He has forsaken His covert as a young lion, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!”
Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie iræ columbæ, et a facie iræ furoris Domini.
