Jeremiah 38
1 And he heard Shephatiah [the] son of Mattan and Gedaliah [the] son of Pashhur and Jucal [the] son of Shelemiah and Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah the words which Jeremiah [was] speaking to all the people saying.
Audivit autem Saphatias filius Mathan, et Gedelias filius Phassur, et Iuchal filius Selemiæ, et Phassur filius Melchiæ, sermones, quos Ieremias loquebatur ad omnem populum, dicens:
2 Thus he says Yahweh the [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out to the Chaldeans (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder and he will live.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Quicumque manserit in civitate hac, morietur gladio, et fame, et peste: qui autem profugerit ad Chaldæos, vivet, et erit anima eius sospes et vivens.
3 Thus he says Yahweh certainly it will be given the city this in [the] hand of [the] army of [the] king of Babylon and he will capture it.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Tradendo tradetur civitas hæc in manu exercitus regis Babylonis, et capiet eam.
4 And they said the officials to the king let him be put to death please the man this for since he [is] making drop [the] hands of [the] men of war who remain - in the city this and [the] hands of all the people by speaking to them according to the words these that - the man this not he [is] seeking for welfare for the people this that except for harm.
Et dixerunt principes regi: Rogamus ut occidatur homo iste: de industria enim dissolvit manus virorum bellantium, qui remanserunt in civitate hac, et manus universi populi, loquens ad eos iuxta verba hæc: siquidem homo iste non quærit pacem populo huic, sed malum.
5 And he said the king Zedekiah there! he [is] in hand your for not the king he is able you anything.
Et dixit rex Sedecias: Ecce ipse in manibus vestris est: nec enim fas est regem vobis quidquam negare.
6 And they took Jeremiah and they threw him into the cistern of - Malkijah [the] son of the king which [was] in [the] courtyard of the guard and they let down Jeremiah with ropes and in the cistern there not [was] water that except mud and he sank Jeremiah in the mud.
Tulerunt ergo Ieremiam, et proiecerunt eum in lacum Melchiæ filii Amelech, qui erat in vestibulo carceris: et submiserunt Ieremiam funibus in lacum, in quo non erat aqua, sed lutum: descendit itaque Ieremias in cœnum.
7 And he heard Ebed Melech the Cushite a man a court-official and he [was] in [the] house of the king that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern and the king [was] sitting in [the] gate of Benjamin.
Audivit autem Abdemelech Æthiops vir eunuchus, qui erat in domo regis quod misissent Ieremiam in lacum: porro rex sedebat in porta Beniamin.
8 And he went out Ebed Melech from [the] house of the king and he spoke to the king saying.
Et egressus est Abdemelech de domo regis, et locutus est ad regem, dicens:
9 O lord my the king they have done evil the men these all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet whom they have thrown into the cistern and he died in it because of famine for there not [is] the food yet in the city.
Domine mi rex, male fecerunt viri isti omnia quæcumque perpetrarunt contra Ieremiam prophetam, mittentes eum in lacum ut moriatur ibi fame, non sunt enim panes ultra in civitate.
10 And he commanded the king Ebed Melech the Cushite saying take in hand your from here thirty men and you will bring up Jeremiah the prophet from the cistern before he will die.
Præcepit itaque rex Abdemelech Æthiopi, dicens: Tolle tecum hinc triginta viros, et leva Ieremiam prophetam de lacu antequam moriatur.
11 And he took - Ebed Melech the men in hand his and he went [the] house of the king to under the storehouse and he took from there worn out things of (clothes *Q(K)*) and worn out things of rags and he let down them to Jeremiah into the cistern with ropes.
Assumptis ergo Abdemelech secum viris, ingressus est domum regis, quæ erat sub cellario: et tulit inde veteres pannos et antiqua, quæ computruerant, et submisit ea ad Ieremiam in lacum per funiculos.
12 And he said Ebed Melech the Cushite to Jeremiah put please [the] worn out things of the clothes and the rags under [the] joints of hands your from under to [the] ropes and he did Jeremiah thus.
Dixitque Abdemelech Æthiops ad Ieremiam: Pone veteres pannos, et hæc scissa et putrida sub cubito manuum tuarum: et super funes: fecit ergo Ieremias sic:
13 And they drew out Jeremiah with ropes and they brought up him from the cistern and he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard.
Et extraxerunt Ieremiam funibus, et eduxerunt eum de lacu: mansit autem Ieremias in vestibulo carceris.
14 And he sent the king Zedekiah and he brought Jeremiah the prophet to him to an entrance third which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh and he said the king to Jeremiah [am] about to ask I you a matter may not you hide from me anything.
Et misit rex Sedecias, et tulit ad se Ieremiam prophetam ad ostium tertium, quod erat in domo Domini: et dixit rex ad Ieremiam: Interrogo ego te sermonem, ne abscondas a me aliquid.
15 And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah if I will tell to you ¿ not certainly will you put to death me and if I will counsel you not you will listen to me.
Dixit autem Ieremias ad Sedeciam: Si annunciavero tibi, numquid non interficies me? et si consilium dedero tibi, non me audies.
16 And he swore the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah in secrecy saying [by] [the] life of Yahweh (*Q(K)*) who he has made for us the life this if I will put to death you and if I will give you in [the] hand of the men these who [are] seeking life your.
Iuravit ergo rex Sedecias Ieremiæ clam, dicens: Vivit Dominus, qui fecit nobis animam hanc, si occidero te, et si tradidero te in manus virorum istorum, qui quærunt animam tuam.
17 And he said Jeremiah to Zedekiah thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts [the] God of Israel certainly [if] you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and you will live self your and the city this not it will be burned with fire and you will live you and household your.
Et dixit Ieremias ad Sedeciam: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Si profectus exieris ad principes regis Babylonis, vivet anima tua, et civitas hæc non succendetur igni: et salvus eris tu, et domus tua.
18 And if not you will go out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and it will be given the city this in [the] hand of the Chaldeans and they will burn it with fire and you not you will escape from hand their.
Si autem non exieris ad principes regis Babylonis, tradetur civitas hæc in manus Chaldæorum, et succendent eam igni: et tu non effugies de manu eorum.
19 And he said the king Zedekiah to Jeremiah I [am] dreading the Jews who they have fallen to the Chaldeans lest they should give me in hand their and they will deal wantonly with me.
Et dixit rex Sedecias ad Ieremiam: Solicitus sum propter Iudæos, qui transfugerunt ad Chaldæos: ne forte tradar in manus eorum, et illudant mihi.
20 And he said Jeremiah not they will give listen please - to [the] voice of Yahweh to [that] which I [am] speaking to you so it may go well for you so it may live self your.
Respondit autem Ieremias: Non te tradent. audi quæso vocem Domini, quam ego loquor ad te, et bene tibi erit, et vivet anima tua.
21 And if [are] refusing you to go out this [is] the thing which he has shown me Yahweh.
Quod si nolueris egredi: iste est sermo, quem ostendit mihi Dominus:
22 And there! all the women who they are left in [the] house of [the] king of Judah [are] about to be brought out to [the] commanders of [the] king of Babylon and they [will be] saying they misled you and they prevailed to you [the] people of peace your they are sunk in the mire feet your they have turned backwards.
Ecce omnes mulieres, quæ remanserunt in domo regis Iuda, educentur ad principes regis Babylonis: et ipsæ dicent: Seduxerunt te, et prævaluerunt adversum te viri pacifici tui, demerserunt in cœno, et in lubrico pedes tuos, et recesserunt a te.
23 And all wives your and children your [people will] bring out to the Chaldeans and you not you will escape from hand their for by [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon you will be captured and the city this it will burn with fire.
Et omnes uxores tuæ, et filii tui educentur ad Chaldæos: et non effugies manus eorum, sed in manu regis Babylonis capieris: et civitatem hanc comburet igni.
24 And he said Zedekiah to Jeremiah anyone may not he know in the words these and not you will die.
Dixit ergo Sedecias ad Ieremiam: Nullus sciat verba hæc, et non morieris.
25 And if they will hear the officials that I have spoken with you and they will come to you and they will say to you tell! please to us what? did you say to the king may not you hide [it] from us and not we will put to death you and what? did he say to you the king.
Si autem audierint principes quia locutus sum tecum, et venerint ad te, et dixerint tibi: Indica nobis quid locutus sis cum rege, ne celes nos, et non te interficiemus: et quid locutus est tecum rex:
26 And you will say to them [was] making fall I supplication my before the king to not to send back me [the] house of Jonathan to die there.
Dices ad eos: Prostravi ego preces meas coram rege, ne me reduci iuberet in domum Ionathan, et ibi morerer.
27 And they came all the officials to Jeremiah and they asked him and he told to them according to all the words these which he had commanded the king and they kept silent from him for not it had been heard the matter.
Venerunt ergo omnes principes ad Ieremiam, et interrogaverunt eum: et locutus est eis iuxta omnia verba, quæ præceperat ei rex, et cessaverunt ab eo: nihil enim fuerat auditum.
28 And he remained Jeremiah in [the] courtyard of the guard until [the] day when it was captured Jerusalem. And it was just when it was captured Jerusalem.
Mansit vero Ieremias in vestibulo carceris usque ad diem, quo capta est Ierusalem: et factum est ut caperetur Ierusalem.
