Jeremiah 44
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who lived in the land of Egypt, who lived at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Memphis, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Verbum, quod factum est per Ieremiam ad omnes Iudaeos, qui habitabant in Terra Aegypti, habitantes in Magdalo, et in Taphnis, et in Memphis, et in Terra Phatures, dicens:
2 "Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'You have seen all the evil that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah; and look, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwells in them,
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Vos vidistis omne malum istud, quod adduxi super Ierusalem, et super omnes urbes Iuda: et ecce desertae sunt hodie, et non est in eis habitator:
3 because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, to serve other gods, that they did not know, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
Propter malitiam, quam fecerunt ut me ad iracundiam provocarent, et irent ut sacrificarent, et colerent deos alienos, quos nesciebant et illi, et vos, et patres vestri.
4 However I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.'
Et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas de nocte consurgens, mittensque et dicens: Nolite facere verbum abominationis huiuscemodi, quam odivi.
5 But they did not listen, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to other gods.
Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam ut converterentur a malis suis, et non sacrificarent diis alienis.
6 Therefore my wrath and my anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as it is this day.'
Et conflata est indignatio mea et furor meus, et succensa est in civitatibus Iuda, et in plateis Ierusalem: et versae sunt in solitudinem et vastitatem secundum diem hanc.
7 Therefore now thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Why do you commit great evil against your own souls, to cut off from yourselves man and woman, infant and nursing child out of the midst of Judah, to leave yourselves none remaining;
Et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Quare vos facitis malum grande hoc contra animas vestras, ut intereat ex vobis vir et mulier, parvulus et lactens de medio Iuda, nec relinquatur vobis quidquam residuum:
8 in that you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to live; that you may be cut off, and that you may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Provocantes me in operibus manuum vestrarum, sacrificando diis alienis in Terra Aegypti, in quam ingressi estis ut habitetis ibi: et dispereatis, et sitis in maledictionem, et in opprobrium cunctis gentibus terrae?
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Numquid obliti estis mala patrum vestrorum, et mala regum Iuda, et mala uxorum eius, et mala vestra, et mala uxorum vestrarum, quae fecerunt in Terra Iuda, et in regionibus Ierusalem?
10 They are not humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.'
Non sunt mundati usque ad diem hanc: et non timuerunt, et non ambulaverunt in lege Domini, et in praeceptis meis, quae dedi coram vobis et coram patribus vestris.
11 Therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Look, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
Ideo haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego ponam faciem meam in vobis in malum: et disperdam omnem Iuda.
12 I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to live there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; they shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine; they shall die, from the least even to the greatest, by the sword and by the famine; and they shall be an object of horror, an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
Et assumam reliquias Iuda, qui posuerunt facies suas ut ingrederentur Terram Aegypti, et habitarent ibi: et consumentur omnes in Terra Aegypti: cadent in gladio et in fame: et consumentur a minimo usque ad maximum in gladio, et in fame morientur: et erunt in iusiurandum, et in miraculum, et in maledictionem, et in opprobrium.
13 For I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence;
Et visitabo super habitatores Terrae Aegypti, sicut visitavi super Ierusalem in gladio, et fame, et peste.
14 so that none of the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall escape or be left, to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return save such as shall escape.'"
Et non erit qui effugiat, et sit residuus de reliquiis Iudaeorum, qui vadunt ut peregrinentur in Terra Aegypti: et revertantur in Terram Iuda, ad quam ipsi elevant animas suas ut revertantur, et habitent ibi: non revertentur nisi qui fugerint.
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives burned incense to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, even all the people who lived in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
Responderunt autem Ieremiae omnes viri scientes quod sacrificarent uxores eorum diis alienis: et universae mulieres, quarum stabat multitudo grandis, et omnis populus habitantium in Terra Aegypti in Phatures, dicentes:
16 "As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Jehovah, we will not listen to you.
Sermonem, quem locutus es ad nos in nomine Domini, non audiemus ex te:
17 But we will certainly perform every word that is gone forth out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our leaders, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then had we plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
sed facientes faciemus omne verbum, quod egredietur de ore nostro ut sacrificemus reginae caeli, et libemus ei libamina, sicut fecimus nos, et patres nostri, reges nostri, et principes nostri in urbibus Iuda, et in plateis Ierusalem: et saturati sumus panibus, et bene nobis erat, malumque non vidimus.
18 But since we left off burning incense to the queen of heaven, and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine."
Ex eo autem tempore, quo cessavimus sacrificare reginae caeli, et libare ei libamina, indigemus omnibus, et gladio, et fame consumpti sumus.
19 And the women said, "When we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?"
Quod si nos sacrificamus reginae caeli, et libamus ei libamina: numquid sine viris nostris fecimus ei placentas ad colendum eam, et libandum ei libamina?
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people who had given him an answer, saying,
Et dixit Ieremias ad omnem populum adversum viros, et adversum mulieres, et adversum universam plebem, qui responderant ei verbum, dicens:
21 "The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your leaders, and the people of the land. Did not Jehovah remember them, and did not it come into his mind,
Numquid non sacrificium, quod sacrificastis in civitatibus Iuda, et in plateis Ierusalem vos et patres vestri, reges vestri, et principes vestri, et populus terrae, horum recordatus est Dominus, et ascendit super cor eius?
22 so that Jehovah could no longer bear because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed? Therefore your land has become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
Et non poterat Dominus ultra portare propter malitiam studiorum vestrorum, et propter abominationes, quas fecistis, et facta est terra vestra in desolationem, et in stuporem, et in maledictum, eo quod non sit habitator, sicut est dies haec.
23 Because you have burned incense, and because you have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil has happened to you, as it is this day."
Propterea quod sacrificaveritis idolis, et peccaveritis Domino: et non audieritis vocem Domini, et in lege, et in praeceptis, et in testimoniis eius non ambulaveritis: idcirco evenerunt vobis mala haec, sicut est dies haec.
24 Moreover Jeremiah said to all the people, and to all the women, "Hear the word of Jehovah, all Judah who are in the land of Egypt:
Dixit autem Ieremias ad omnem populum, et ad universas mulieres: Audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda, qui estis in Terra Aegypti:
25 Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, 'You and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and with your hands have fulfilled it, saying, "We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her": establish then your vows, and perform your vows.'
Haec inquit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel, dicens: Vos, et uxores vestrae locuti estis ore vestro, et manibus vestris implestis, dicentes: Faciamus vota nostra, quae vovimus, ut sacrificemus reginae caeli, et libemus ei libamina. implestis vota vestra, et opere perpetrastis ea.
26 Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, all Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: 'Look, I have sworn by my great name,' says Jehovah, 'that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, "As Jehovah lives."
Ideo audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda, qui habitatis in Terra Aegypti: Ecce ego iuravi in nomine meo magno, ait Dominus: quia nequaquam ultra vocabitur nomen meum ex ore omnis viri Iudaei, dicentis: Vivit Dominus Deus in omni Terra Aegypti.
27 Look, I watch over them for disaster, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until they are all gone.
Ecce ego vigilabo super eos in malum, et non in bonum: et consumentur omnes viri Iuda, qui sunt in Terra Aegypti, gladio, et fame donec penitus consumantur.
28 Those who escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt to live there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
Et qui fugerint gladium, revertentur de Terra Aegypti in Terram Iuda viri pauci: et scient omnes reliquiae Iuda ingredientium Terram Aegypti, ut habitent ibi, cuius sermo compleatur, meus, an illorum.
29 This shall be the sign to you,' says Jehovah, 'that I will punish you in this place, that you may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil':
Et hoc vobis signum, ait Dominus, quod visitem ego super vos in loco isto: ut sciatis quia vere complebuntur sermones mei contra vos in malum.
30 Thus says Jehovah, 'Look, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those who seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy, and sought his life.'"
Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam Pharaonem Ephree regem Aegypti in manu inimicorum eius, et in manu quaerentium animam illius: sicut tradidi Sedechiam regem Iuda in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis inimici sui, et quaerentis animam eius.
