Jeremiah 42
1 Then drew near all the captains of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, —and all the people from the least even unto the greatest;
et accesserunt omnes principes bellatorum et Iohanan filius Caree et Iezonias filius Osaiae et reliquum vulgus a parvo usque ad magnum
2 and said unto Jeremiah the prophet—Let our supplication we beseech thee fall prostrate before thee, and pray thou in our behalf unto Yahweh thy God, in behalf of all this remnant, —for we are left a few out of many, just as thine own eyes do behold us:
dixeruntque ad Hieremiam prophetam cadat oratio nostra in conspectu tuo et ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum tuum pro universis reliquiis istis quia derelicti sumus pauci de pluribus sicut oculi tui nos intuentur
3 that Yahweh thy God may tell us the way wherein we should walk, —and the thing that we should do.
et adnuntiet nobis Dominus Deus tuus viam per quam pergamus et verbum quod faciamus
4 And Jeremiah the prophet, said unto them, I have heard; behold me! praying unto Yahweh your God according to your words, —and it shall come to pass that the whole thing that Yahweh shall answer you, I will tell you, I will keep back from you, nothing.
dixit autem ad eos Hieremias propheta audivi ecce ego oro ad Dominum Deum vestrum secundum verba vestra omne verbum quodcumque responderit mihi indicabo vobis nec celabo vos quicquam
5 They, therefore said unto Jeremiah, Yahweh be against us, as a witness true and faithful, —if according to all the word which Yahweh thy God shall send thee unto us, so we do not perform:
et illi dixerunt ad Hieremiam sit Dominus inter nos testis veritatis et fidei si non iuxta omne verbum in quo miserit te Dominus Deus tuus ad nos sic faciemus
6 whether for good or for ill, unto the voice of Yahweh our God for which we are sending thee unto him, will we hearken, —to the end it may be well with us, because we will hearken unto the voice of Yahweh our God.
sive bonum est sive malum voci Domini Dei nostri ad quem mittimus te oboediemus ut bene sit nobis cum audierimus vocem Domini Dei nostri
7 And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah.
cum autem conpleti essent decem dies factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam
8 Then called he for Johanan son of Kareah, and for all the princes of the forces who were with him—and for all the people from the least even unto the greatest;
vocavitque Iohanan filium Caree et omnes principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo et universum populum a minimo usque ad magnum
9 and said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall prostrate before him: —
et dixit ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ad quem misistis me ut prosternerem preces vestras in conspectu eius
10 If ye will indeed abide, in this land, then will I build you up, and not pull [you] down, and plant you and not uproot [you], —for I have compassion as touching the calamity which I have caused you.
si quiescentes manseritis in terra hac aedificabo vos et non destruam plantabo et non evellam iam enim placatus sum super malo quod feci vobis
11 Do not fear the face of the king of Babylon, of whose face ye are afraid, —do not fear him, Urgeth Yahweh, for with you, am I, to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand:
nolite timere a facie regis Babylonis quem vos pavidi formidatis nolite eum metuere dicit Dominus quia vobiscum sum ego ut salvos faciam vos et eruam de manu eius
12 that I may grant you compassions and he may have compassion upon you, —and suffer you to return unto your own soil.
et dabo vobis misericordiam et miserebor vestri et habitare vos faciam in terra vestra
13 But, since ye are saying, —We will not dwell in this land, —nor hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God:
si autem dixeritis vos non habitabimus in terra ista nec audiemus vocem Domini Dei nostri
14 saying, —No! for, into the land of Egypt, will we go, where we shall not see war, nor the sound of a horn, shall we hear, —nor for bread, shall we be famished, —there, then will we dwell
dicentes nequaquam sed ad terram Aegypti pergemus ubi non videbimus bellum et clangorem tubae non audiemus et famem non sustinebimus et ibi habitabimus
15 Now, therefore, for this cause, hear ye the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah, —Thus! saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —If, ye do indeed set your faces to enter Egypt and do enter to sojourn there,
propter hoc nunc audite verbum Domini reliquiae Iuda haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel si posueritis faciem vestram ut ingrediamini Aegyptum et intraveritis ut ibi habitetis
16 then shall it come to pass that the sword which ye are fearing shall, there, overtake you, in the land of Egypt, —and the famine which ye are dreading, shall, there, lay fast hold of you, in Egypt, and, there, shall ye die.
gladium quem vos formidatis ibi conprehendet vos in terra Aegypti et fames pro qua estis solliciti adherebit vobis in Aegypto et ibi moriemini
17 So shall it be with all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there, they shall die by sword, by famine or by pestilence, —and they shall have neither survival nor escape, from the face of the calamity which I am about to bring in upon them.
omnesque viri qui posuerint faciem suam ut ingrediantur Aegyptum et habitent ibi morientur gladio et fame et peste nullus de eis remanebit nec effugient a facie mali quod ego adferam super eos
18 For—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Just as mine anger and mine indignation have been poured out upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall mine indignation be poured out upon you when ye enter into Egypt, —thus shall ye become a curse, and an astonishment and a contempt and a reproach, and ye shall no more see this place.
quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel sicut conflatus est furor meus et indignatio mea super habitatores Hierusalem sic conflabitur indignatio mea super vos cum ingressi fueritis Aegyptum et eritis in iusiurandum et in stuporem et in maledictum et in obprobrium et nequaquam ultra videbitis locum istum
19 Yahweh hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, Do not enter into Egypt: Know certainly, that I have taken you to witness to-day.
verbum Domini super vos reliquiae Iuda nolite intrare Aegyptum scientes scietis quia obtestatus sum vobis hodie
20 For ye have deceived yourselves at the cost of your lives, for, ye yourselves, sent me unto Yahweh your God, saying, —Pray thou in our behalf, unto Yahweh our God, —and according to all that Yahweh our God shall say, so, tell us and we will do it.
quia decepistis animas vestras vos enim misistis me ad Dominum Deum nostrum dicentes ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum nostrum et iuxta omnia quaecumque dixerit tibi Dominus Deus noster sic adnuntia nobis et faciemus
21 Therefore have I told you to-day, —and yet ye have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh your God, even in any thing for which he hath sent me unto you.
et adnuntiavi vobis hodie et non audistis vocem Domini Dei vestri super universis pro quibus misit me ad vos
22 Now, therefore, know ye certainly, that by sword, by famine, or by pestilence, shall ye die, —in the place whither ye have desired to go, to sojourn.
nunc ergo scientes scietis quia gladio et fame et peste moriemini in loco ad quem voluistis intrare ut habitaretis ibi
