Jeremiah 44
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwelt in the land of Egypt, which dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Verbum, quod factum est per Ieremiam ad omnes Iudæos, qui habitabant in Terra Ægypti, habitantes in Magdalo, et in Taphnis, et in Memphis, et in Terra Phatures, dicens:
2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein;
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Vos vidistis omne malum istud, quod adduxi super Ierusalem, et super omnes urbes Iuda: et ecce desertæ 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, [and] to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, nor ye, 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 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not 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 hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam ut converterentur a malis suis, et non sacrificarent diis alienis.
6 Wherefore my fury and mine 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 versæ sunt in solitudinem et vastitatem secundum diem hanc.
7 Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore commit ye [this] great evil against your own souls, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, to leave you none remaining;
Et nunc hæc 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 Iudæ, nec relinquatur vobis quidquam residuum:
8 in that ye provoke me unto anger with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to sojourn; that ye may be cut off, and that ye 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 Ægypti, in quam ingressi estis ut habitetis ibi: et dispereatis, et sitis in maledictionem, et in opprobrium cunctis gentibus terræ?
9 Have ye 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, quæ fecerunt in Terra Iuda, et in regionibus Ierusalem?
10 They are not humbled even unto 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 præceptis meis, quæ dedi coram vobis et coram patribus vestris.
11 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
Ideo hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego ponam faciem meam in vobis in malum: et disperdam omnem Iudam.
12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn 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 unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, [and] an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
Et assumam reliquias Iudæ, qui posuerunt facies suas ut ingrederentur Terram Ægypti, et habitarent ibi: et consumentur omnes in Terra Ægypti: 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 them that 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 Terræ Ægypti, sicut visitavi super Ierusalem in gladio, et fame, et peste.
14 so that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the 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 reliquis Iudæorum, qui vadunt ut peregrinentur in Terra Ægypti: 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 which knew that their wives burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great assembly, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
Responderunt autem Ieremiæ omnes viri scientes quod sacrificarent uxores eorum diis alienis: et universæ mulieres, quarum stabat multitudo grandis, et omnis populus habitantium in Terra Ægypti in Phatures, dicentes:
16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
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 unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
sed facientes faciemus omne verbum, quod egredietur de ore nostro ut sacrificemus reginæ cæli, 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 to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Ex eo autem tempore, quo cessavimus sacrificare reginæ cæli, et libare ei libamina, indigemus omnibus, et gladio, et fame consumpti sumus.
19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our husbands?
Quod si nos sacrificamus reginæ cæli, et libamus ei libamina: numquid sine viris nostris fecimus ei placentas ad colendum eam, et libandum ei libamina?
20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, even to all the people which had given him that 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 ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not 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 terræ, horum recordatus est Dominus, et ascendit super cor eius?
22 so the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land 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 hæc.
23 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as it is this day.
Propterea quod sacrificaveritis idolis, et peccaveritis Domino: et non audieritis vocem Domini, et in lege, et in præceptis, et in testimoniis eius non ambulaveritis: idcirco evenerunt vobis mala hæc, sicut est dies hæc.
24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that 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 Ægypti:
25 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: Ye 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 unto her: establish then your vows, and perform your vows.
Hæc inquit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel, dicens: Vos, et uxores vestræ locuti estis ore vestro, et manibus vestris implestis, dicentes: Faciamus vota nostra, quæ vovimus, ut sacrificemus reginæ cæli, et libemus ei libamina. Implestis vota vestra, et opere perpetrastis ea.
26 Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, As the Lord GOD liveth.
Ideo audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda, qui habitatis in Terra Ægypti: Ecce ego iuravi in nomine meo magno, ait Dominus: quia nequaquam ultra vocabitur nomen meum ex ore omnis viri Iudæi, dicentis: Vivit Dominus Deus in omni Terra Ægypti.
27 Behold, I watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
Ecce ego vigilabo super eos in malum, et non in bonum: et consumentur omnes viri Iuda, qui sunt in Terra Ægypti, gladio, et fame donec penitus consumantur.
28 And they that 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, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
Et qui fugerint gladium, revertentur de Terra Ægypti in Terram Iuda viri pauci: et scient omnes reliquiæ Iuda ingredientium Terram Ægypti, ut habitent ibi, cuius sermo compleatur, meus, an illorum.
29 And this shall be the sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye 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 saith the LORD: Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam Pharaonem Ephree regem Ægypti in manu inimicorum eius, et in manu quærentium animam illius: sicut tradidi Sedeciam regem Iuda in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis inimici sui, et quærentis animam eius.
