Jeremiah 20
1 And when Pashhur son of Immer, the priest, who also was deputy-overseer in the house of Yahweh, heard that Jeremiah had prophesied these things,
Et audivit Phassur filius Emmer sacerdos, qui constitutus erat princeps in domo Domini, Ieremiam prophetantem sermones istos.
2 then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet, —and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh.
Et percussit Phassur Ieremiam prophetam, et misit eum in nervum, quod erat in porta Beniamin superiori, in domo Domini.
3 And it came to pass on the morrow, when Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks, —that Jeremiah said unto him—Not Pashhur, hath Yahweh called thy name, But Magor-missaviv["Terror-round-about"].
Cumque illuxisset in crastinum, eduxit Phassur Ieremiam de nervo. et dixit ad eum Ieremias: Non Phassur vocavit Dominus nomen tuum, sed pavorem undique.
4 For, Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! making thee a ["magor" i. e. a] terror to thyself and to all who love thee, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, thine own eyes also, beholding, And all Judah, will I deliver into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon and smite them with the sword.
Quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabo te in pavorem, te et omnes amicos tuos: et corruent gladio inimicorum suorum, et oculi tui videbunt: et omnem Iudam dabo in manum regis Babylonis: et traducet eos in Babylonem, et percutiet eos gladio.
5 And I will deliver up—All the wealth of this city, and All her labour, and All her precious things, —And all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I deliver up into the hands of their enemies, and they will make of them a prey, and take them, and carry them into Babylon.
Et dabo universam substantiam civitatis huius, et omnem laborem eius, omneque pretium, et cunctos thesauros regum Iuda dabo in manu inimicorum eorum: et diripient eos, et tollent, et ducent in Babylonem.
6 And, thou, Pashhur and all who are dwelling in thy house, shall go into captivity, —Yea into Babylon, shalt thou enter And there, shalt thou die And there, shalt thou be buried Thou and all who love thee, to whom thou hast prophesied falsely.
Tu autem Phassur, et omnes habitatores domus tuae ibitis in captivitatem: et in Babylonem tu venies, et ibi morieris, ibique sepelieris tu, et omnes amici tui, quibus prophetasti mendacium.
7 Thou didst persuade me, O Yahweh and I was persuaded, Thou didst lay firm hold on me and didst prevail, —I am become a mockery, all the day, Every one, is laughing at me.
Seduxisti me Domine, et seductus sum: fortior me fuisti, et invaluisti: factus sum in derisum tota die, omnes subsannant me.
8 For, as often as I speak, I make outcry, Violence and wasting, I proclaim, —Yea the word of Yahweh hath become to me a reproach and derision all the day
Quia iam olim loquor, vociferans iniquitatem, et vastitatem clamito: et factus est mihi sermo Domini in opprobrium, et in derisum tota die.
9 Therefore I say—I will not mention him Neither will I speak any more in his name, But then it becometh in my heart as a fire that burneth, Shut up in my bones, —And I am weary of restraint and cannot refrain.
Et dixi: Non recordabor eius, neque loquar ultra in nomine illius: et factus est in corde meo quasi ignis exaestuans, claususque in ossibus meis: et defeci, ferre non sustinens.
10 Because I have heard the whispering of many—"A terror round about!" Tell ye [say they], that we may tell of him, All the men I am wont to salute do watch for my halting, —Peradventure he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail over him, and take our vengeance upon him.
Audivi enim contumelias multorum, et terrorem in circuitu: Persequimini, et persequamur eum: ab omnibus viris, qui erant pacifici mei, et custodientes latus meum: si quo modo decipiatur, et praevaleamus adversus eum, et consequamur ultionem ex eo.
11 But, Yahweh, is with me, as a mighty one striking terror, For this cause, shall my persecutors stumble and not prevail, —They have turned very pale, For they have not prospered, Confusion age-abiding, it shall not be forgotten!
Dominus autem mecum est quasi bellator fortis: idcirco qui persequuntur me, cadent, et infirmi erunt: confundentur vehementer, quia non intellexerunt opprobrium sempiternum, quod numquam delebitur.
12 But O Yahweh of hosts—Testing the righteous Beholding the affections and the heart, —Let me see thine avenging upon them, For unto thee, have I laid bare my cause.
Et tu Domine exercituum probator iusti, qui vides renes et cor: videam quaeso ultionem tuam ex eis: tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
13 Sing ye to Yahweh! Praise ye Yahweh! For he hath delivered the soul of the needy, out of the hand of evildoers.
Cantate Domino, laudate Dominum: quia liberavit animam pauperis de manu malorum.
14 Accursed, be the day on which I was born, —The day when my mother bare me, let it not be blessed!
Maledicta dies, in qua natus sum: dies, in qua peperit me mater mea, non sit benedicta.
15 Accursed, be the man who carried tidings to my father saying, There is born to thee a man-child!
Maledictus vir, qui nunciavit patri meo, dicens: Natus est tibi puer masculus: et quasi gaudio laetificavit eum.
16 Making him very glad: Yea let that man be—as the cities which Yahweh overthrew and repented not, —And let him hear An outcry in the morning, and A war-shout at broad noon!
Sit homo ille ut sunt civitates, quae subvertit Dominus, et non poenituit eum: audiat clamorem mane, et ululatum in tempore meridiano:
17 Because I was not slain from the womb, —Nor did my mother become my grave, Nor was her womb great for ever!
quia non me interfecit a vulva, ut fieret mihi mater mea sepulchrum, et vulva eius conceptus aeternus.
18 Wherefore was it—That from the womb, I came forth, to see labour and pain; and That in shame should my days be consumed!
Quare de vulva egressus sum, ut viderem laborem et dolorem, et consumerentur in confusione dies mei?
