Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Et regnavit rex Sedechias filius Iosiae pro Iechonia filio Ioakim: quem constituit regem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis in Terra Iuda:
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the words of YHWH, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Et non obedivit ipse, et servi eius, et populus terrae verbis Domini, quae locutus est in manu Ieremiae prophetae.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Pray now to YHWH our God for us."
Et misit rex Sedechias Iuchal filium Selemiae, et Sophoniam filium Maasiae sacerdotem ad Ieremiam prophetam, dicens: Ora pro nobis Dominum Deum nostrum.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people; for they had not put him into prison.
Ieremias autem libere ambulabat in medio populi: non enim miserant eum in custodiam carceris.
5 Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up from Jerusalem.
Igitur exercitus Pharaonis egressus est de Aegypto: et audientes Chaldaei, qui obsidebant Ierusalem, huiuscemodi nuncium, recesserunt ab Ierusalem.
6 Then came the word of YHWH to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam, dicens:
7 "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: "Look, Pharaoh's army, which has come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Sic dicetis regi Iuda, qui misit vos ad me interrogandum: Ecce exercitus Pharaonis, qui egressus est vobis in auxilium, revertetur in terram suam in Aegyptum.
8 The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire."
et redient Chaldaei, et bellabunt contra civitatem hanc: et capient eam, et succendent eam igne.
9 Thus says YHWH, "Do not deceive yourselves, saying, 'The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us'; for they shall not depart.
Haec dicit Dominus: Nolite decipere animas vestras, dicentes: Euntes abibunt, et recedent a nobis Chaldaei, quia non abibunt.
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire."'"
Sed et si percusseritis omnem exercitum Chaldaeorum, qui praeliantur adversum vos, et derelicti fuerint ex eis aliqui vulnerati: singuli de tentorio suo consurgent, et incendent civitatem hanc igne.
11 It happened that, when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Ergo cum recessisset exercitus Chaldaeorum ab Ierusalem propter exercitum Pharaonis,
12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
egressus est Ieremias de Ierusalem ut iret in Terram Beniamin, et divideret ibi possessionem in conspectu civium.
13 When he was in the Benjamin Gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are falling away to the Chaldeans."
Cumque pervenisset ad portam Beniamin, erat ibi custos portae per vices, nomine Ierias, filius Selemiae filii Hananiae, et apprehendit Ieremiam prophetam, dicens: Ad Chaldaeos profugis.
14 Then Jeremiah said, "It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the officials.
Et respondit Ieremias: Falsum est, non fugio ad Chaldaeos. Et non audivit eum: sed comprehendit Ierias Ieremiam, et adduxit eum ad principes.
15 And the officials were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Quam ob rem irati principes contra Ieremiam, caesum eum miserunt in carcerem, qui erat in domo Ionathan scribae: ipse enim praepositus erat super carcerem.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Itaque ingressus est Ieremias in domum laci et in ergastulum: et sedit ibi Ieremias diebus multis.
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, "Is there any word from YHWH?" Jeremiah said, "There is." He said also, "You shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon."
Mittens autem Sedechias rex tulit eum: et interrogavit eum in domo sua abscondite, et dixit: Putasne est sermo a Domino? Et dixit Ieremias: Est. Et ait: In manus regis Babylonis traderis.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, "Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Et dixit Ieremias ad regem Sedechiam: Quid peccavi tibi, et servis tuis, et populo tuo, quia misisti me in domum carceris?
19 Where now are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Ubi sunt prophetae vestri, qui prophetabant vobis, et dicebant: Non veniet rex Babylonis super vos, et super terram hanc?
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my petition be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there."
Nunc ergo audi obsecro domine mi rex: Valeat deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo: et ne me remittas in domum Ionathan scribae, ne moriar ibi.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Praecepit ergo rex Sedechias ut traderetur Ieremias in vestibulo carceris: et daretur ei torta panis quotidie, excepto pulmento, donec consumerentur omnes panes de civitate: et mansit Ieremias in vestibulo carceris.
