Jeremiah 25
1 The word which came upon Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, —the same, was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam de omni populo Iuda in anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, (ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis.)
2 which word Jeremiah the prophet spake concerning all the people of Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying: —
Quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iuda, et ad universos habitatores Ierusalem, dicens:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah even until this day, the which is the twenty-third year, hath the word of Yahweh come unto me; and I have spoken unto you, betimes, speaking, yet have ye not hearkened.
A tertiodecimo anno Iosiae filii Amon regis Iuda usque ad diem hanc; iste tertius et vigesimus annus, factum est verbum Domini ad me, et locutus sum ad vos de nocte consurgens, et loquens, et non audistis.
4 And Yahweh sent unto you all, his servants the prophets, betimes sending, though ye hearkened not, neither inclined ye your ear to hear:
Et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque et non audistis, neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis
5 saying, —Return I pray you every one from his wicked way and from the wickedness of your doings, So shall ye remain on the soil which Yahweh hath given to you and to your fathers, —even from age to age;
cum diceret: Revertimini unusquisque a via sua mala, et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris: et habitabitis in terra, quam dedit Dominus vobis, et patribus vestris a saeculo et usque in saeculum.
6 But do not go away after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, —So shall ye not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, and I will not bring calamity upon you;
Et nolite ire post deos alienos ut serviatis eis, adoretisque eos: neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum, et non affligam vos.
7 Howbeit ye hearkened not unto me, Declareth Yahweh, —that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands unto your own hurt.
Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum in malum vestrum.
8 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Because ye have not heard my words,
Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea:
9 Behold me! sending and fetching all the families of the North, Declareth Yahweh and Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon my servant, And I will bring them in against this land and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations, round about, —And I will devote them to destruction, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and age-abiding desolations.
ecce ego mittam, et assumam universas cognationes Aquilonis, ait Dominus, et Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum: et adducam eos super terram istam, et super habitatores eius, et super omnes nationes, quae in circuitu illius sunt: et interficiam eos, et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum, et in solitudines sempiternas.
10 And I will banish from among them—The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, —The sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp:
Perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae, vocem sponsi, et vocem sponsae, vocem molae, et lumen lucernae.
11 So shall all this land become a desolation, an astonishment, And these nations shall serve the king of Babylon, seventy years.
Et erit universa terra haec in solitudinem, et in stuporem: et servient omnes gentes istae regi Babylonis septuaginta annis.
12 And it shall some to pass—When the seventy years are fulfilled, I will visit upon the king of Babylon and upon that nation, Declareth Yahweh their iniquity, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, —and I will turn it into age-abiding desolations.
Cumque impleti fuerint septuaginta anni, visitabo super regem Babylonis, et super gentem illam, dicit Dominus, iniquitatem eorum, et super terram Chaldaeorum: et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas.
13 So will I bring upon that land, All my words which I have spoken against it, —Even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
Et adducam super terram illam, omnia verba mea, quae locutus sum contra eam, omne quod scriptum est in libro isto, quaecumque prophetavit Ieremias adversum omnes gentes:
14 For many nations and great kings have used, even them, as slaves, So will I recompense to them—According to their deed and According to the work of their own hands.
Quia servierunt eis cum essent gentes multae, et reges magni: et reddam eis secundum opera eorum, et secundum facta manuum suarum.
15 For, thus, said Yahweh, God of Israel unto me, Take this cup of indignation wine out of my hand, —and cause all the nations unto whom I am sending thee, to drink it:
Quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Sume calicem vini furoris huius de manu mea: et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus, ad quas ego mittam te.
16 Yea they shall drink and reel to and fro and act as madmen, because of the sword which I am sending between them.
Et bibent, et turbabuntur, et insanient a facie gladii, quem ego mittam inter eos.
17 So I took the cup out of the hand of Yahweh, —and caused all the nations unto whom Yahweh had sent me to drink:
Et accepi calicem de manu Domini, et propinavi cunctis gentibus, ad quas misit me Dominus:
18 [to wit said he] —Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and her kings her princes, —making them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a contempt, as at this day;
Ierusalem, et civitatibus Iuda, et regibus eius, et principibus eius: ut darem eos in solitudinem, et in stuporem, et in sibilum, et in maledictionem, sicut est dies ista:
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants and his princes, and all his people;
Pharaoni regi Aegypti, et servis eius, et principibus eius, et omni populo eius,
20 And all the Bedawin, and all the kings of the land of Uz, —and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, even Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
et universis generaliter: cunctis regibus terrae Ausitidis, et cunctis regibus terrae Philisthiim, et Ascalonis, et Gazae, et Accaron, et reliquiis Azoti,
21 Edom and Moab, and the sons of Ammon;
et Idumaeae, et Moab, et filiis Ammon:
22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, —and the kings of the Coastland, that is beyond the sea;
Et cunctis regibus Tyri, et universis regibus Sidonis: et regibus terrae insularum, qui sunt trans mare.
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all the clipt-beards;
Et Dedan, et Thema, et Buz, et universis qui attonsi sunt in comam.
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the Bedawin, who dwell in the desert;
Et cunctis regibus Arabiae, et cunctis regibus Occidentis, qui habitant in deserto.
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
Et cunctis regibus Zambri, et cunctis regibus Elam, et cunctis regibus Medorum:
26 And all the kings of the North, the near and the far every man with his brother, and all the kingdoms of the earth which are on the face of the ground; And the king of Sheshach, shall drink, after them.
cunctis quoque regibus Aquilonis de prope et de longe, unicuique contra fratrem suum: et omnibus regnis terrae, quae super faciem eius sunt: et rex Sesach bibet post eos.
27 Therefore shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Drink ye and be drunken, and vomit, and fall and rise not, —because of the sword which I am sending between you.
et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Bibite, et inebriamini, et vomite: et cadite, neque surgatis a facie gladii, quem ego mittam inter vos.
28 And it shall be when they shall refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall certainly drink;
Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua ut bibant, dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Bibentes bibetis:
29 For lo! with the city on which my Name hath been called, am I making a beginning of sending calamity, And shall, ye, be held, guiltless? Ye shall not be held guiltless: For a sword, am I proclaiming against all the inhabitants of the earth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
quia ecce in civitate, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ego incipiam affligere, et vos quasi innocentes et immunes eritis? non eritis immunes: gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatores terrae, dicit Dominus exercituum.
30 Thou, therefore, shalt prophesy against them all these words, —and shalt say unto them—Yahweh, from on high, will roar Yea from his holy habitation, will utter his voice, He will, roar mightily over his home, With a shout as of them who tread the winepress, will he answer unto all the inhabitants of the earth.
Et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba haec, et dices ad illos: Dominus de excelso rugiet, et de habitaculo sancto suo dabit vocem suam: rugiens rugiet super decorem suum: celeuma quasi calcantium concinetur adversus omnes habitatores terrae.
31 There hath come in a tumult as far as the end of the earth, For a controversy, hath Yahweh with the nations, Himself, hath entered into judgment with all flesh, —As for the lawless, he hath delivered them to the sword Declareth Yahweh.
Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terrae: quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus: iudicatur ipse cum omni carne, impios tradidi gladio, dicit Dominus.
32 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Lo calamity! going forth from nation to nation, —And a great tempest, shall bestirred up, out of the remote parts of the earth.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce afflictio egredietur de gente in gentem: et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terrae.
33 Then shall the slain of Yahweh in that day, be from one end of the earth, even unto the other end of the earth, —They shall not be lamented, nor gathered together nor buried, As dung, on the face of the ground, shall they serve.
Et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa a summo terrae usque ad summum eius: non plangentur, et non colligentur, neque sepelientur: in sterquilinium super faciem terrae iacebunt.
34 Howl ye shepherds and make outcry, And roll in the dust ye illustrious of the flock, Because your days for being slaughtered, are fulfilled, —Therefore will I break you in pieces, and ye shall fall like a precious vessel!
Ululate pastores, et clamate: et aspergite vos cinere optimates gregis: quia completi sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini: et dissipationes vestrae, et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa.
35 Then shall place of refuge vanish from the shepherds, And escape from the illustrious of the flock.
Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.
36 The voice of the outcry of the shepherds! Yea the howling of the illustrious of the flock!—Because Yahweh is laying waste the grounds where they fed.
Vox clamoris pastorum, et ululatus optimatum gregis: quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum.
37 Then shall be silenced the prosperous pastures, —Because of the fierceness of the anger of Yahweh.
Et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie irae furoris Domini.
38 He hath left as a lion his covert, For their land hath become a horror, Because of the fierceness of oppression and Because of the fierceness of his anger.
Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie irae columbae, et a facie irae furoris Domini.
