Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
quod factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam prophetam contra gentes
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
ad Aegyptum adversum exercitum Pharaonis Nechao regis Aegypti qui erat iuxta flumen Eufraten in Charchamis quem percussit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis in quarto anno Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda
3 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
praeparate scutum et clypeum et procedite ad bellum
4 Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
iungite equos et ascendite equites state in galeis polite lanceas induite vos loricis
5 Wherefore have I seen it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: terror is on every side, saith the LORD.
quid igitur vidi ipsos pavidos et terga vertentes fortes eorum caesos fugerunt conciti nec respexerunt terror undique ait Dominus
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled, and fallen.
non fugiat velox nec salvari se putet fortis ad aquilonem iuxta flumen Eufraten victi sunt et ruerunt
7 Who is this that riseth up like the Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?
quis est iste qui quasi flumen ascendit et veluti fluviorum intumescunt gurgites eius
8 Egypt riseth up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and he saith, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
Aegyptus fluminis instar ascendet et velut flumina movebuntur fluctus eius et dicet ascendens operiam terram perdam civitatem et habitatores eius
9 Go up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, that handle the shield; and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow.
ascendite equos et exultate in curribus et procedant fortes Aethiopia et Lybies tenentes scutum et Lydii arripientes et iacientes sagittas
10 For that day is [a day] of the Lord, the LORD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall drink its fill of their blood: for the Lord, the LORD of hosts, hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
dies autem ille Domini Dei exercituum dies ultionis ut sumat vindictam de inimicis suis devorabit gladius et saturabitur et inebriabitur sanguine eorum victima enim Domini exercituum in terra aquilonis iuxta flumen Eufraten
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou use many medicines; there is no healing for thee.
ascende in Galaad et tolle resinam virgo filia Aegypti frustra multiplicas medicamina sanitas non erit tibi
12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and the earth is full of thy cry: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen both of them together.
audierunt gentes ignominiam tuam et ululatus tuus replevit terram quia fortis inpegit in fortem ambo pariter conciderunt
13 The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
verbum quod locutus est Dominus ad Hieremiam prophetam super eo quod venturus esset Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis et percussurus terram Aegypti
14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, stand forth, and prepare thee; for the sword hath devoured round about thee.
adnuntiate Aegypto et auditum facite Magdolo et resonet in Memphis et in Tafnis dicite sta et praepara te quia devoravit gladius ea quae per circuitum tuum sunt
15 Why are thy strong ones swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
quare conputruit fortis tuus non stetit quoniam Dominus subvertit eum
16 He made many to stumble, yea, they fell one upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
multiplicavit ruentes ceciditque vir ad proximum suum et dicent surge et revertamur ad populum nostrum et ad terram nativitatis nostrae a facie gladii columbae
17 They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by.
vocate nomen Pharao regis Aegypti Tumultum adduxit tempus
18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
vivo ego inquit Rex Dominus exercituum nomen eius quoniam sicut Thabor in montibus et sicut Carmelus in mari veniet
19 O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
vasa transmigrationis fac tibi habitatrix filia Aegypti quia Memphis in solitudinem erit et deseretur inhabitabilis
20 Egypt is a very fair heifer; [but] destruction out of the north is come, it is come.
vitula eligans atque formonsa Aegyptus stimulator ab aquilone veniet ei
21 Also her hired men in the midst of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand: for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
mercennarii quoque eius qui versabantur in medio eius quasi vituli saginati versi sunt et fugerunt simul nec stare potuerunt quia dies interfectionis eorum venit super eos tempus visitationis eorum
22 The sound thereof shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
vox eius quasi aeris sonabit quoniam cum exercitu properabunt et cum securibus venient ei quasi ligna caedentes
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
succiderunt saltum eius ait Dominus qui supputari non potest multiplicati sunt super lucustas et non est eis numerus
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
confusa est filia Aegypti et tradita in manu populi aquilonis
25 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and them that trust in him:
dixit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego visitabo super tumultum Alexandriae et super Pharao et super Aegyptum et super deos eius et super reges eius et super Pharao et super eos qui confidunt in eo
26 and I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.
et dabo eos in manu quaerentium animam eorum et in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis et in manu servorum eius et post haec habitabitur sicut diebus pristinis ait Dominus
27 But fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, low, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
et tu ne timeas serve meus Iacob et ne paveas Israhel quia ecce ego salvum te faciam de longinquo et semen tuum de terra captivitatis suae et revertetur Iacob et quiescet et prosperabitur et non erit qui exterreat eum
28 Fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD; for I am with thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.
et tu noli timere serve meus Iacob ait Dominus quia tecum ego sum quia consumam ego cunctas gentes ad quas eieci te te vero non consumam sed castigabo te in iudicio nec quasi innocenti parcam tibi
