Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam, de omni populo Juda, in anno quarto Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda (ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis),
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
quod locutus est Jeremias propheta ad omnem populum Juda, et ad universos habitatores Jerusalem, dicens:
3 "From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of YHWH has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
A tertiodecimo anno Josiæ filii Amon regis Juda, 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 YHWH has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear)
Et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque: et non audistis, neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis,
5 saying, 'Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;
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 do not go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and do not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
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 Yet you have not listened to me,' says YHWH; 'that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.'
Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum, in malum vestrum.
8 Therefore thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Because you have not heard my words,
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea,
9 look, I will send and take all the families of the north,' says YHWH, 'and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
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 ejus, 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 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsæ, vocem molæ et lumen lucernæ.
11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve 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 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says YHWH, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
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 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this scroll, which Jeremiah has prophesied against 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 Jeremias adversum omnes gentes:
14 For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, 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 says YHWH, the God of Israel, to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
Quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Sume calicem vini furoris hujus de manu mea, et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus ad quas ego mittam te.
16 They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them."
Et bibent, et turbabuntur et insanient a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter eos.
17 Then took I the cup at YHWH's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom YHWH had 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, and its officials, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
Jerusalem, et civitatibus Juda, et regibus ejus, et principibus ejus, 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 officials, and all his people;
Pharaoni regi Ægypti, et servis ejus, et principibus ejus, et omni populo ejus:
20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings 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 people 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 isle which 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 who have the corners of their beard cut off;
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 dwell 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 the Medes;
et cunctis regibus Zambri, et cunctis regibus Elam, et cunctis regibus Medorum:
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
cunctis quoque regibus aquilonis, de prope et de longe, unicuique contra fratrem suum: et omnibus regnis terræ quæ super faciem ejus sunt: et rex Sesach bibet post eos.
27 "You shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you."'
Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Bibite, et inebriamini, et vomite: et cadite, neque surgatis a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter vos.
28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "You shall surely drink.
Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua ut bibant, dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Bibentes bibetis:
29 For, look, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,"' says 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 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, 'YHWH will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
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 noise shall come even to the remotest parts of the earth; for YHWH brings charges against the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,' says YHWH.
Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terræ, quia judicium Domino cum gentibus: judicatur ipse cum omni carne. Impios tradidi gladio, dicit Dominus.
32 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, 'Look, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.'
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce afflictio egredietur de gente in gentem, et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terræ.
33 The slain of YHWH shall be on that day from all areas of the earth. They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.
Et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa, a summo terræ usque ad summum ejus: non plangentur, et non colligentur, neque sepelientur: in sterquilinium super faciem terræ jacebunt.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow in dust, you principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and you shall fall like a goodly 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 The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock. For YHWH lays waste their pasture.
Vox clamoris pastorum, et ululatus optimatum gregis, quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum:
37 The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of YHWH.
et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie iræ furoris Domini.
38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment, because of the sword of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."
Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie iræ columbæ, et a facie iræ furoris Domini.
