Jeremiah 25
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah. It came in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah. That was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, 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 Jeremiah the prophet proclaimed this to all the people of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iuda, et ad universos habitatores Ierusalem, dicens:
3 He said, “For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah until this day, Yahweh's words have been coming to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
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 Yahweh sent out all his servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or paid any attention.
Et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque et non audistis, neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis
5 These prophets said, 'Let each man turn from his wicked way and the corruption of his practices and return to the land that Yahweh gave in ancient times to your ancestors and to you, as a permanent gift.
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 So do not walk after other gods to worship them or bow down to them, and do not provoke him with the work of your hands so that he does you harm.'
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 But you have not listened to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—so you have provoked me with the work of your hands to do harm to you.
Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum in malum vestrum.
8 So Yahweh of hosts says this, 'Because you did not listen to my words,
Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea:
9 see, I am about to send out a command to gather all the peoples of the north—this is Yahweh's declaration—with Nebuchadnezzar my servant, king of Babylon, and bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all the nations around you. For I will set them apart for destruction. I will turn them into a horror, an object for hissing, and an unending desolation.
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 I will put an end to the sound of joy and sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound 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 Then all of this land will become a desolation and a horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
Et erit universa terra haec in solitudinem, et in stuporem: et servient omnes gentes istae regi Babylonis septuaginta annis.
12 Then it will happen when seventy years have been completed, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans—this is Yahweh's declaration—for their iniquity and make it an unending desolation.
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 Then I will carry out against that land all the words that I had spoken, and everything written in this book that Jeremiah has 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 also many other nations and great kings will make slaves out of these nations. I will repay them for their deeds and the works of their hands.'”
Quia servierunt eis cum essent gentes multae, et reges magni: et reddam eis secundum opera eorum, et secundum facta manuum suarum.
15 For Yahweh, God of Israel, said this to me, “Take this cup of the wine of fury from my hand and make all the nations to which I am sending you 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 For they will drink and then stagger about and rant madly before the sword that I am sending out among them.”
Et bibent, et turbabuntur, et insanient a facie gladii, quem ego mittam inter eos.
17 So I took the cup from Yahweh's hand, and I made all the nations to which Yahweh had sent me drink it:
Et accepi calicem de manu Domini, et propinavi cunctis gentibus, ad quas misit me Dominus:
18 Jerusalem, the cities of Judah and her kings and officials—to turn them into ruins and something terrifying, and into an object for hissing and cursing, as they are at this present 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 Other nations also had to drink it: Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants; his officials and all his people;
Pharaoni regi Aegypti, et servis eius, et principibus eius, et omni populo eius,
20 all people of mixed heritage and all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of Philistia—Ashkelon, Gaza, 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 people of Ammon.
et Idumaeae, et Moab, et filiis Ammon:
22 The kings of Tyre and Sidon, the kings of the coasts on the other side of the sea,
Et cunctis regibus Tyri, et universis regibus Sidonis: et regibus terrae insularum, qui sunt trans mare.
23 Dedan, Tema, and Buz with all the ones who cut the hair on the sides of their heads, they also had to drink it.
Et Dedan, et Thema, et Buz, et universis qui attonsi sunt in comam.
24 All the kings of Arabia and all the kings of people of mixed heritage who live in the wilderness;
Et cunctis regibus Arabiae, et cunctis regibus Occidentis, qui habitant in deserto.
25 all the kings of Zimri, 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 all the kings of the north, the ones close by and the ones far away—everyone with his brother and all the kingdoms of the world that are on the surface of the earth, all of them had to drink the cup from Yahweh's hand. Finally, the king of Babylon will also drink from that cup.
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 Yahweh said to me, “Now you must say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: Drink and become drunk, then vomit, fall down, and do not rise before the sword that I am sending among 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 Then it will happen that if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, you will say to them, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: You must certainly drink it.
Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua ut bibant, dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Bibentes bibetis:
29 For see, I am about to bring disaster on the city that is called by my name, and should you yourselves be free from punishment? You will not be free, for I am calling a sword against all the inhabitants of the land!—this is the declaration of 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 You must prophesy all these words against them, and say to them, 'Yahweh will roar from the heights and he will shout with his voice from his holy dwelling, and he will roar mightily against his fold; and he will shout, like those who tread the grapes against all those who live on 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 The sound of battle will resound to the ends of the earth, for Yahweh brings charges against the nations, and he brings judgment on all flesh, and the wicked ones he will put to the sword—this is Yahweh's declaration.'
Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terrae: quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus: iudicatur ipse cum omni carne, impios tradidi gladio, dicit Dominus.
32 Yahweh of hosts says this, 'See, disaster is going out from nation to nation, and a great storm is beginning from the farthest parts of the earth.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce afflictio egredietur de gente in gentem: et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terrae.
33 Then those killed by Yahweh will on that day extend from one end of the earth to the other; they will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung on the ground.
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 Wail, shepherds, and shout for help! Roll about in the dust, you leaders of the flock, for the days of your slaughter have come; you will be scattered when you fall like fine pottery.
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 There is no refuge for the shepherds, there will be no escape for the leaders of the flock.
Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.
36 Hear the cries of the shepherds and the wails of the leaders of the flock, for Yahweh is destroying their pastures.
Vox clamoris pastorum, et ululatus optimatum gregis: quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum.
37 So the peaceful pastures will be devastated because of Yahweh's fierce anger.
Et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie irae furoris Domini.
38 Like a young lion, he has left his den, for their land will become a horror because of the oppressor's anger, because of his angry wrath.'”
Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie irae columbae, et a facie irae furoris Domini.
