Jeremiah 20
1 Pashhur son of Immer the priest—he was a leading officer—heard Jeremiah prophesying these words before Yahweh's house.
Et audivit Phassur filius Emmer sacerdos, qui constitutus erat princeps in domo Domini, Ieremiam prophetantem sermones istos.
2 So Pashhur beat Jeremiah the prophet and then placed him in the stocks that were at the Upper Gate of Benjamin in Yahweh's house.
Et percussit Phassur Ieremiam prophetam, et misit eum in nervum, quod erat in porta Beniamin superiori, in domo Domini.
3 It happened on the next day that Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “Yahweh has not called your name Pashhur, but you are Magor Missabib.
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 Yahweh says this, 'Look, I will make you an object of horror, you and all of your loved ones, for they will fall by the sword of their enemies and your eyes will see it. I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. He will make them captives in Babylon or attack them with the sword.
Quia hæc 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 I will give him all the wealth of this city and all of its riches, all of its precious items and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. I will place these things in the hand of your enemies, and they will seize them. They will take them and bring them to 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 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon and die there. You and all of your loved ones to whom you prophesied deceitful things will be buried there.'”
Tu autem Phassur, et omnes habitatores domus tuæ ibitis in captivitatem: et in Babylonem venies, et ibi morieris, ibique sepelieris tu, et omnes amici tui, quibus prophetasti mendacium.
7 “Yahweh, you deceived me, and I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and you overpowered me. I have become a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
Seduxisti me Domine, et seductus sum: fortior me fuisti, et invaluisti: factus sum in derisum tota die, omnes subsannant me.
8 For whenever I have spoken, I have called out and proclaimed, 'Violence and destruction.' Then Yahweh's word has become for me reproach and mocking every day.
Quia iam olim loquor, vociferans iniquitatem, et vastitatem clamito: et factus est mihi sermo Domini in opprobrium, et in derisum tota die.
9 If I say, 'I will not think about Yahweh anymore. I will not speak any longer in his name.' Then it is like a fire in my heart, held within my bones. So I struggle to contain it but I cannot.
Et dixi: Non recordabor eius, neque loquar ultra in nomine illius: et factus est in corde meo quasi ignis exæstuans, claususque in ossibus meis: et defeci, ferre non sustinens.
10 I have heard rumors of terror from many people all around. 'Report! We must report it!' Those who are close to me watch to see if I will fall. 'Perhaps he can be tricked. If so, we can overpower him and take our revenge on 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 prævaleamus adversus eum, et consequamur ultionem ex eo.
11 But Yahweh is with me like a powerful warrior, so the ones pursuing me will stagger. They will not defeat me. They will be greatly ashamed, because they will not succeed. They will have unending shame, it will never 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 Yahweh of hosts, you examine the righteous and see the mind and the heart. Let me see your vengeance on them for I have committed my cause to you.
Et tu Domine exercituum probator iusti, qui vides renes et cor: videam quæso ultionem tuam ex eis: tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
13 Sing to Yahweh! Praise Yahweh! For he has rescued the lives of those who are oppressed from the hand of evildoers.
Cantate Domino, laudate Dominum: quia liberavit animam pauperis de manu malorum.
14 Let the day when I was born be cursed. Do not let the day that my mother bore me be blessed.
Maledicta dies, in qua natus sum: dies, in qua peperit me mater mea, non sit benedicta.
15 Let the man who informed my father be cursed, the one who said, 'A male child has been born to you,' causing great joy.
Maledictus vir, qui annunciavit patri meo, dicens: Natus est tibi puer masculus: et quasi gaudio lætificavit eum.
16 Let that man be like the cities that Yahweh overthrew and he did not have compassion on them. Let him hear a cry for help in the dawn, a battle cry at noontime,
Sit homo ille ut sunt civitates, quæ subvertit Dominus, et non pœnituit eum: audiat clamorem mane, et ululatum in tempore meridiano:
17 because he did not kill me in the womb, making my mother to be my tomb, a womb that was pregnant forever.
qui non me interfecit a vulva, ut fieret mihi mater mea sepulchrum, et vulva eius conceptus æternus.
18 Why is it that I came out from the womb to see troubles and agony, so that my days are filled with shame?”
Quare de vulva egressus sum, ut viderem laborem et dolorem, et consumerentur in confusione dies mei?
