Jeremiah 32
1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, in the tenthe yeer of Sedechie, kyng of Juda; thilke is the eiytenthe yeer of Nabugodonosor.
Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino in anno decimo Sedeciæ regis Iuda: ipse est annus decimus octavus Nabuchodonosor.
2 Thanne the oost of the kyng of Babiloyne bisegide Jerusalem; and Jeremye, the profete, was closid in the porche of the prisoun, that was in the hous of the kyng of Juda.
Tunc exercitus regis Babylonis obsidebat Ierusalem: et Ieremias propheta erat clausus in atrio carceris, qui erat in domo regis Iuda.
3 For whi Sedechie, the kyng of Juda, hadde closid hym, and seide, Whi profesiest thou, seiynge, The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue this citee in the hond of the kyng of Babyloyne, and he schal take it; and Sedechie,
Clauserat enim eum Sedecias rex Iuda, dicens: Quare vaticinaris, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabo civitatem istam in manus regis Babylonis, et capiet eam?
4 the kyng of Juda, schal not ascape fro the hond of Caldeis, but he schal be bitake in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne; and his mouth schal speke with the mouth of hym, and hise iyen schulen se the iyen of hym;
Et Sedecias rex Iuda non effugiet de manu Chaldæorum: sed tradetur in manus regis Babylonis: et loquetur os eius cum ore illius, et oculi eius oculos illius videbunt.
5 and he schal lede Sedechie in to Babiloyne, and he schal be there, til Y visyte hym, seith the Lord; forsothe if ye fiyten ayens Caldeis, ye schulen haue no thing in prosperite?
Et in Babylonem ducet Sedeciam: et ibi erit donec visitem eum, ait Dominus. Si autem dimicaveritis adversum Chaldæos, nihil prosperum habebitis.
6 And Jeremye seide, The word of the Lord was maad to me, and seide, Lo!
Et dixit Ieremias: Factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
7 Ananeel, the sone of Sellum, the sone of thi fadris brothir, schal come to thee, and seie, Bi thou to thee my feeld, which is in Anathot; for it bifallith to thee by niy kynrede, that thou bie it.
Ecce Hanameel filius Sellum patruelis tuus veniet ad te, dicens: Eme tibi agrum meum, qui est in Anathoth: tibi enim competit ex propinquitate ut emas.
8 And Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir, cam to me, bi the word of the Lord, to the porche of the prisoun, and seide to me, Welde thou my feeld, which is in Anathot, in the lond of Beniamyn; for whi the erytage bifallith to thee, and thou art the next of blood, that thou welde it. Forsothe Y vndirstood, that it was the word of the Lord.
Et venit ad me Hanameel filius patrui mei secundum verbum Domini ad vestibulum carceris, et ait ad me: Posside agrum meum, qui est in Anathoth in terra Beniamin: quia tibi competit hereditas, et tu propinquus es ut possideas. Intellexi autem quod verbum Domini esset.
9 And Y bouyte the feeld, which is in Anathot, of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir. And Y paiede to hym siluer, seuene stateris, and ten platis of siluer;
Et emi agrum ab Hanameel filio patrui mei, qui est in Anathoth: et appendi ei argentum septem stateres, et decem argenteos.
10 and Y wroot in a book, and Y seelide, and Y yaf witnessis. And Y weiede siluer in a balaunce;
Et scripsi in libro, et signavi, et adhibui testes: et appendi argentum in statera.
11 and Y took the book aseelid of possessioun, and axingis and answerys of the seller and bier, and couenauntis, and seelis withoutforth.
Et accepi librum possessionis signatum, et stipulationes, et rata, et signa forinsecus.
12 And Y yaf the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Neri, sone of Maasie, bifore the iyen of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brother, and bifore the iyen of witnessis that weren writun in the book of biyng, bifore the iyen of alle Jewis, that saten in the porche of the prisoun.
Et dedi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri filii Maasiæ in oculis Hanameel patruelis mei, in oculis testium, qui scripti erant in libro emptionis, et in oculis omnium Iudæorum, qui sedebant in atrio carceris.
13 And Y comaundide to Baruc bifore hem,
Et præcepi Baruch coram eis, dicens:
14 and Y seide, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Take thou these bookis, this seelid book of biyng, and this book which is opyn, and putte thou tho in an erthen vessel, that tho moun dwelle bi many daies.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Sume libros istos, librum emptionis hunc signatum, et librum hunc, qui apertus est: et pone illos in vase fictili, ut permanere possint diebus multis.
15 For whi the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Yit housis, and feeldis, and vynes schulen be weldid in this lond.
Hæc enim dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Adhuc possidebuntur domus, et agri, et vineæ in terra ista.
16 And Y preiede to the Lord, aftir that Y bitook the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Nery; and Y seide, Alas!
Et oravi ad Dominum, postquam tradidi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri, dicens:
17 alas! alas! Lord God, Lord, thou madist heuene and erthe in thi greet strengthe, and in thin arm stretchid forth; ech word schal not be hard to thee;
Heu, heu, heu, Domine Deus: ecce tu fecisti cælum et terram in fortitudine tua magna, et in brachio tuo extento: non erit tibi difficile omne verbum:
18 which doist merci in thousyndis, and yeldist the wickidnesse of fadris in to the bosum of her sones aftir hem. Thou strongeste, greet, myyti, Lord of oostis is name to thee;
Qui facis misericordiam in millibus, et reddis iniquitatem patrum in sinum filiorum eorum post eos: Fortissime, magne, et potens, Dominus exercituum nomen tibi.
19 greet in councel, and vncomprehensible in thouyt, whose iyen ben open on alle the weies of the sones of Adam, that thou yelde to ech aftir hise weies, and aftir the fruyt of hise fyndyngis;
Magnus consilio, et incomprehensibilis cogitatu: cuius oculi aperti sunt super omnes vias filiorum Adam ut reddas unicuique secundum vias suas, et secundum fructum adinventionum eius.
20 which settidist signes and greet woundris in the lond of Egipt, `til to this dai, bothe in Israel and in men; and madist to thee a name, as this dai is.
Qui posuisti signa et portenta in Terra Ægypti usque ad diem hanc, et in Israel, et in hominibus, et fecisti tibi nomen sicut est dies hæc.
21 And thou leddist thi puple Israel out of the lond of Egipt, in signes and in greet woundris, and in a strong hond, and in an arm holdun forth, and in greet dreed; and thou yauest to hem this lond,
Et eduxisti populum tuum Israel de Terra Ægypti, in signis, et in portentis, et in manu robusta, et in brachio extento, et in terrore magno.
22 which thou sworist to the fadris of hem, that thou woldist yyue to hem, a lond flowynge with milk and hony.
Et dedisti eis terram hanc, quam iurasti patribus eorum ut dares eis terram fluentem lacte et melle.
23 And thei entriden, and hadden it in possessioun; and thei obeieden not to thi vois, and thei yeden not in thi lawe; alle thingis whiche thou comaundidist to hem to do, thei diden not; and alle these yuels bifellen to hem.
Et ingressi sunt, et possederunt eam: et non obedierunt voci tuæ, et in lege tua non ambulaverunt: omnia quæ mandasti eis ut facerent, non fecerunt: et evenerunt eis omnia mala hæc.
24 Lo! strengthis ben bildid ayens the citee, that it be takun, and the citee is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, that fiyten ayens it, of the face of swerd, and of hungur, and of pestilence; and what euer thingis thou spakest, bifellen, as thou thi silf seest.
Ecce munitiones extructæ sunt adversum civitatem ut capiatur: et urbs data est in manus Chaldæorum, qui præliantur adversus eam a facie gladii, et famis, et pestilentiæ: et quæcumque locutus es acciderunt, ut tu ipse cernis.
25 And Lord God, thou seist to me, Bie thou a feeld for siluer, and yyue thou witnessis, whanne the citee is youun in the hondis of Caldeis.
Et tu dicis mihi Domine Deus: Eme agrum argento, et adhibe testes: cum urbs data sit in manus Chaldæorum?
26 And the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye, and seide, Lo!
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
27 Y am the Lord God of `al fleisch. Whether ony word schal be hard to me?
Ecce ego Dominus Deus universæ carnis: numquid mihi difficile erit omne verbum?
28 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bitake this citee in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal take it.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem istam in manus Chaldæorum, et in manus regis Babylonis, et capient eam.
29 And Caldeis schulen come, and fiyte ayens this citee, and thei schulen brenne it with fier, and thei schulen brenne it, and housis, in whose rooues thei sacrifieden to Baal, and offriden moist sacrifices to alien goddis, to terre me to wraththe.
Et venient Chaldæi præliantes adversum urbem hanc, et succendent eam igni, et comburent eam, et domos, in quarum domatibus sacrificabant Baal, et libabant diis alienis libamina ad irritandum me.
30 For whi the sones of Israel and the sones of Juda diden yuel contynueli, fro her yonge waxynge age, bifore myn iyen, the sones of Israel, whiche `til to now wraththen me bi the werk of her hondis, seith the Lord.
Erant enim filii Israel, et filii Iuda iugiter facientes malum in oculis meis ab adolescentia sua: filii Israel qui usque nunc exacerbant me in opere manuum suarum, dicit Dominus.
31 For whi this citee is maad to me in my strong veniaunce and indignacioun, fro the day in which thei bildiden it, `til to this dai, in which it schal be takun awei fro my siyt;
Quia in furore et in indignatione mea facta est mihi civitas hæc, a die qua ædificaverunt eam, usque ad diem istam, qua auferetur de conspectu meo.
32 for the malice of the sones of Israel, and of the sones of Juda, which thei diden, terrynge me to wrathfulnesse, thei, and the kyngis of hem, the princes of hem, and the prestis, and profetis of hem, the men of Juda, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem.
Propter malitiam filiorum Israel, et filiorum Iuda, quam fecerunt ad iracundiam me provocantes, ipsi et reges eorum, principes eorum, et sacerdotes eorum, et prophetæ eorum, viri Iuda et habitatores Ierusalem.
33 And thei turneden to me the backis, and not the faces, whanne Y tauyte, and enformede hem erli; and thei nolden here, that thei schulden take techyng.
Et verterunt ad me terga et non facies: cum docerem eos diluculo, et erudirem, et nollent audire ut acciperent disciplinam.
34 And thei settiden her idols in the hous, in which my name is clepid to help, that thei schulden defoule it.
Et posuerunt idola sua in domo, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ut polluerent eam.
35 And thei bildiden hiy thingis to Baal, that ben in the valei of the sones of Ennon, that thei schulden halewe her sones and her douytris to Moloc, which thing Y comaundide not to hem, nether it stiede in to myn herte, that thei schulden do this abhomynacioun, and brynge Juda in to synne.
Et ædificaverunt excelsa Baal, quæ sunt in valle filii Ennom ut initiarent filios suos et filias suas Moloch: quod non mandavi eis, nec ascendit in cor meum ut facerent abominationem hanc, et in peccatum deducerent Iudam.
36 And now for these thingis, the Lord God of Israel seith these thingis to this citee, of whiche ye seien, that it schal be bitakun in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, in swerd, and in hungur, and in pestilence, Lo!
Et nunc propter ista, hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad civitatem hanc, de qua vos dicitis quod tradetur in manus regis Babylonis in gladio, et in fame, et in peste.
37 Y schal gadere hem fro alle londis, to whiche Y castide hem out in my strong veniaunce, and in my wraththe, and in greet indignacioun; and Y schal brynge hem ayen to this place, and Y schal make hem to dwelle tristili.
Ecce ego congregabo eos de universis terris, ad quas eieci eos in furore meo, et in ira mea, et indignatione grandi: et reducam eos ad locum istum, et habitare eos faciam confidenter.
38 And thei schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to hem.
Et erunt mihi in populum, et ego ero eis in Deum.
39 And Y schal yyue to hem oon herte and o soule, that thei drede me in alle daies, and that it be wel to hem, and to her sones aftir hem.
Et dabo eis cor unum, et viam unam, ut timeant me universis diebus: et bene sit eis, et filiis eorum post eos.
40 And Y schal smyte to hem a couenaunt euerlastynge, and Y schal not ceese to do wel to hem, and Y schal yyue my drede in the herte of hem, that thei go not awey fro me.
Et feriam eis pactum sempiternum, et non desinam eis benefacere: et timorem meum dabo in corde eorum ut non recedant a me.
41 And Y schal be glad on hem, whanne Y schal do wel to hem; and Y schal plaunte hem in this lond in treuthe, in al myn herte, and in al my soule.
Et lætabor super eis, cum bene eis fecero: et plantabo eos in terra ista in veritate in toto corde meo et in tota anima mea.
42 For the Lord seith these thingis, As Y brouyte on this puple al this greet yuel, so Y schal brynge on hem al the good, which Y schal speke to hem.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Sicut adduxi super populum istum omne malum hoc grande: sic adducam super eos omne bonum, quod ego loquor ad eos.
43 And feeldis schulen be weldid in this lond, of which ye seien, that it is desert, for no man and beeste is left; and it is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis.
Et possidebuntur agri in terra ista: de qua vos dicitis quod deserta sit, eo quod non remanserit homo et iumentum, et data sit in manus Chaldæorum.
44 Feeldis schulen be bouyt for money, and schulen be writun in a book, and a seel schal be preentid; and witnessis schulen be youun, in the lond of Beniamyn, and in the cumpas of Jerusalem, and in the citees of Juda, and in the citees in hilli places, and in the citees in feeldi places, and in the citees that ben at the south; for Y schal turne the caitiftee of hem, seith the Lord.
Agri ementur pecunia, et scribentur in libro, et imprimetur signum, et testis adhibebitur: in terra Beniamin, et in circuitu Ierusalem, in civitatibus Iuda, et in civitatibus montanis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus, quæ ad Austrum sunt: quia convertam captivitatem eorum, ait Dominus.
