Jeremiah 17
1 "The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars;
Peccatum Iuda scriptum est stylo ferreo in ungue adamantino, exaratum super latitudinem cordis eorum, et in cornibus ararum eorum.
2 while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.
Cum recordati fuerint filii eorum ararum suarum, et lucorum suorum, lignorumque frondentium in montibus excelsis,
3 My mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures for a spoil, and your high places, because of sin, throughout all your borders.
sacrificantes in agro: fortitudinem tuam, et omnes thesauros tuos in direptionem dabo, excelsa tua propter peccata in universis finibus tuis.
4 You, even of yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you do not know: for you have kindled a fire in my anger which shall burn forever."
Et relinqueris sola ab hereditate tua, quam dedi tibi: et servire te faciam inimicis tuis in terra, quam ignoras: quoniam ignem succendisti in furore meo, usque in aeternum ardebit.
5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD.
Haec dicit Dominus: Maledictus homo, qui confidit in homine, et ponit carnem brachium suum, et a Domino recedit cor eius.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Erit enim quasi myricae in deserto, et non videbit cum venerit bonum: sed habitabit in siccitate in deserto, in terra salsuginis, et inhabitabili.
7 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose confidence is in the LORD.
Benedictus vir, qui confidit in Domino, et erit Dominus fiducia eius.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Et erit quasi lignum quod transplantatur super aquas, quod ad humorem mittit radices suas: et non timebit cum venerit aestus. Et erit folium eius viride, et in tempore siccitatis non erit solicitum, nec aliquando desinet facere fructum.
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?
Pravum est cor hominis, et inscrutabile: quis cognoscet illud?
10 I, the LORD, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
Ego Dominus scrutans cor, et probans renes: qui do unicuique iuxta viam suam, et iuxta fructum adinventionum suarum.
11 As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid, so is he who gets riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool."
Perdix fovit quae non peperit: fecit divitias, et non in iudicio: in dimidio dierum suorum derelinquet eas, et in novissimo suo erit insipiens.
12 "A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Solium gloriae altitudinis a principio, locus sanctificationis nostrae:
13 LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you shall be disappointed. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living waters.
Expectatio Israel Domine: omnes, qui te derelinquunt, confundentur: recedentes a te, in terra scribentur: quoniam dereliquerunt venam aquarum viventium Dominum.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for you are my praise.
Sana me Domine, et sanabor: salvum me fac, et salvus ero: quoniam laus mea tu es.
15 Look, they tell me, 'Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now.'
Ecce ipsi dicunt ad me: Ubi est verbum Domini? veniat.
16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you; neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was before your face.
Et ego non sum turbatus, te pastorem sequens: et diem hominis non desideravi, tu scis. Quod egressum est de labiis meis, rectum in conspectu tuo fuit.
17 Do not be a terror to me: you are my refuge in the day of evil.
Non sis tu mihi formidini, spes mea tu in die afflictionis.
18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed; let them be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of disaster, and destroy them with double destruction."
Confundantur qui me persequuntur, et non confundar ego: paveant illi, et non paveam ego: induc super eos diem afflictionis, et duplici contritione contere eos.
19 Thus said the LORD to me: "Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Haec dicit Dominus ad me: Vade, et sta in porta filiorum populi, per quam ingrediuntur reges Iuda, et egrediuntur, et in cunctis portis Ierusalem:
20 and tell them, 'Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
et dices ad eos: Audite verbum Domini reges Iuda, et omnis Iuda, cunctique habitatores Ierusalem, qui ingredimini per portas istas.
21 Thus says the LORD, "Be careful, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Haec dicit Dominus: Custodite animas vestras, et nolite portare pondera in die sabbati: nec inferatis per portas Ierusalem.
22 neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day holy, neither do any work: but make the Sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Et nolite eiicere onera de domibus vestris in die sabbati, et omne opus non facietis: sanctificate diem sabbati, sicut praecepi patribus vestris.
23 But they did not listen, neither turn their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction.
Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam: sed induraverunt cervicem suam ne audirent me, et ne acciperent disciplinam.
24 It shall happen, if you diligently listen to me," says the LORD, "to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but to make the Sabbath day holy, to do no work in it;
Et erit: Si audieritis me, dicit Dominus, ut non inferatis onera per portas civitatis huius in die sabbati: et si sanctificaveritis diem sabbati, ne faciatis in eo omne opus:
25 then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their officials, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and this city shall remain forever.
Ingredientur per portas civitatis huius reges et principes, sedentes super solium David, et ascendentes in curribus et equis, ipsi et principes eorum, viri Iuda, et habitatores Ierusalem: et habitabitur civitas haec in sempiternum.
26 They shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill country, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing sacrifices of thanksgiving, to the house of the LORD.
Et venient de civitatibus Iuda, et de circuitu Ierusalem, et de terra Beniamin, et de campestribus, et de montuosis, et ab Austro, portantes holocaustum, et victimam, et sacrificium, et thus, et inferent oblationem in domum Domini.
27 But if you will not listen to me to make the Sabbath day holy, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched."'"
Si autem non audieritis me ut sanctificetis diem sabbati, et ne portetis onus, et ne inferatis per portas Ierusalem in die sabbati: succendam ignem in portis eius, et devorabit domos Ierusalem, et non extinguetur.
