Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
In principio regni Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, factum est verbum istud ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
2 "Thus says YHWH to me: Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck;
Haec dicit Dominus ad me: Fac tibi vincula, et catenas: et pones eas in collo tuo.
3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the people of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
Et mittes eas ad regem Edom, et ad regem Moab, et ad regem filiorum Ammon, et ad regem Tyri, et ad regem Sidonis: in manu nunciorum qui venerunt Ierusalem ad Sedechiam regem Iuda.
4 and give them a command to their masters, saying, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, You shall tell your masters:
Et praecipies eis ut ad dominos suos loquantur: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Haec dicetis ad dominos vestros:
5 "I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.
Ego feci terram, et homines, et iumenta, quae sunt super faciem terrae, in fortitudine mea magna, et in brachio meo extento: et dedi eam ei, qui placuit in oculis meis.
6 Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him to serve him.
Et nunc itaque ego dedi omnes terras istas in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis servi mei: insuper et bestias agri dedi ei ut serviant illi.
7 All the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondservant.
Et servient ei omnes gentes, et filio eius, et filio filii eius: donec veniat tempus terrae eius et ipsius: et servient ei gentes multae, et reges magni.
8 It shall happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says YHWH, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Gens autem et regnum, quod non servierit Nabuchodonosor regi Babylonis, et quicumque non curvaverit collum suum sub iugo regis Babylonis: in gladio, et in fame, et in peste visitabo super gentem illam, ait Dominus: donec consumam eos in manu eius.
9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon':
Vos ergo nolite audire prophetas vestros, et divinos, et somniatores, et augures, et maleficos, qui dicunt vobis: Non servietis regi Babylonis.
10 for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
Quia mendacium prophetant vobis: ut longe vos faciant de terra vestra, et eiiciant vos, et pereatis.
11 But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, says YHWH; and they shall till it, and dwell in it."'"
Porro gens, quae subiecerit cervicem suam sub iugo regis Babylonis, et servierit ei; dimittam eam in terra sua, dicit Dominus: et colet eam, et habitabit in ea.
12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Et ad Sedechiam regem Iuda locutus sum secundum omnia verba haec, dicens: Subiicite colla vestra sub iugo regis Babylonis, et servite ei, et populo eius, et vivetis.
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Quare moriemini tu et populus tuus gladio, et fame, et peste, sicut locutus est Dominus ad gentem, quae servire noluerit regi Babylonis?
14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon'; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Nolite audire verba prophetarum dicentium vobis: Non servietis regi Babylonis: quia mendacium ipsi loquuntur vobis.
15 'For I have not sent them,' says YHWH, 'but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.'"
Quia non misi eos, ait Dominus: et ipsi prophetant in nomine meo mendaciter: ut eiiciant vos, et pereatis tam vos, quam prophetae, qui vaticinantur vobis.
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, "Thus says YHWH: 'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Look, the vessels of YHWH's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Et ad sacerdotes, et ad populum istum locutus sum, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Nolite audire verba prophetarum vestrorum, qui prophetant vobis, dicentes: Ecce vasa domus Domini revertentur de Babylone nunc cito, mendacium enim prophetant vobis.
17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?'
Nolite ergo audire eos, sed servite regi Babylonis, ut vivatis. quare datur haec civitas in solitudinem?
18 But if they are prophets and if the word of YHWH is with them, let them now make intercession with YHWH of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of YHWH, and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem may not go to Babylon.
Et si prophetae sunt, et est verbum Domini in eis: occurrant Domino exercituum, ut non veniant vasa, quae derelicta fuerant in domo Domini, et in domo regis Iuda, et in Ierusalem, in Babylonem.
19 For thus says YHWH of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum ad columnas, et ad mare, et ad bases, et ad reliqua vasorum, quae remanserunt in civitate hac:
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
quae non tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, cum transferret Iechoniam filium Ioakim regem Iuda de Ierusalem in Babylonem, et omnes optimates Iuda et Ierusalem.
21 yes, thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel ad vasa, quae derelicta sunt in domo Domini, et in domo regis Iuda et Ierusalem:
22 'They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them,' says YHWH; 'then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.'"
In Babylonem transferentur, et ibi erunt usque ad diem visitationis suae, dicit Dominus, et afferri faciam ea, et restitui in loco isto.
