Jeremiah 50
1 The word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet:
Verbum, quod locutus est Dominus de Babylone, et de terra Chaldaeorum in manu Ieremiae prophetae.
2 'Declare ye among nations, and sound, And lift up an ensign, sound, do not hide, Say ye: Captured hath been Babylon, Put to shame hath been Bel, Broken hath been Merodach, Put to shame have been her grievous things, Broken have been her idols.
Annunciate in Gentibus, et auditum facite: levate signum, praedicate, et nolite celare: dicite: Capta est Babylon, confusus est Bel, victus est Merodach, confusa sunt sculptilia eorum, superata sunt idola eorum.
3 For come up against her hath a nation from the north, It maketh her land become a desolation, And there is not an inhabitant in it. From man even unto beast, They have moved, they have gone.
Quoniam ascendit contra eam gens ab Aquilone, quae ponet terram eius in solitudinem: et non erit qui habitet in ea ab homine usque ad pecus: et moti sunt, et abierunt.
4 In those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah, Come in do sons of Israel, They and sons of Judah together, Going on and weeping they go, And Jehovah their God they seek.
In diebus illis, et in tempore illo, ait Dominus: venient filii Israel, ipsi et filii Iuda simul: ambulantes et flentes properabunt, et Dominum Deum suum quaerent.
5 [To] Zion they ask the way, Thitherward [are] their faces: Come in, and we are joined unto Jehovah, A covenant age-during — not forgotten.
In Sion interrogabunt viam, huc facies eorum. Venient, et apponentur ad Dominum foedere sempiterno, quod nulla oblivione delebitur.
6 A perishing flock hath My people been, Their shepherds have caused them to err, [To] the mountains causing them to go back, From mountain unto hill they have gone, They have forgotten their crouching-place.
Grex perditus factus est populus meus: pastores eorum seduxerunt eos, feceruntque vagari in montibus: de monte in collem transierunt, obliti sunt cubilis sui.
7 All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against Jehovah, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their fathers — Jehovah.
Omnes, qui invenerunt, comederunt eos: et hostes eorum dixerunt: Non peccavimus: pro eo quod peccaverunt Domino decori iustitiae, et expectationi patrum eorum Domino.
8 Move ye from the midst of Babylon, And from the land of the Chaldeans go out. And be as he-goats before a flock.
Recedite de medio Babylonis, et de terra Chaldaeorum egredimini: et estote quasi hoedi ante gregem.
9 For, lo, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from a land of the north, And they have set in array against her, From thence she is captured, Its arrow — as a skilful hero — returneth not empty,
Quoniam ecce ego suscito, et adducam in Babylonem congregationem Gentium magnarum de terra Aquilonis: et praeparabuntur adversus eam, et inde capietur: sagitta eius quasi viri fortis interfectoris, non revertetur vacua.
10 And Chaldea hath been for a spoil, All her spoilers are satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Et erit Chaldaea in praedam: omnes vastantes eam replebuntur, ait Dominus.
11 Because thou rejoicest, because thou exultest, O spoilers of Mine inheritance, Because thou increasest as a heifer [at] the tender grass, And dost cry aloud as bulls,
Quoniam exultatis, et magna loquimini, diripientes hereditatem meam: quoniam effusi estis sicut vituli super herbam, et mugistis sicut tauri.
12 Ashamed hath been your mother greatly, Confounded hath she been that bare you, Lo, the hindermost of nations [is] a wilderness, A dry land, and a desert.
Confusa est mater vestra nimis, et adaequata pulveri, quae genuit vos: ecce novissima erit in Gentibus, deserta, invia, et arens.
13 Because of the wrath of Jehovah it is not inhabited, And it hath been a desolation — all of it. Every passer by at Babylon is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
Ab ira Domini non habitabitur, sed redigetur tota in solitudinem: omnis, qui transibit per Babylonem, stupebit, et sibilabit super universis plagis eius.
14 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, All ye treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For against Jehovah she hath sinned.
Praeparamini contra Babylonem per circuitum omnes qui tenditis arcum; debellate eam, non parcatis iaculis: quia Domino peccavit.
15 Shout against her round about, She hath given forth her hand, Fallen have her foundations, Thrown down have been her walls, For it [is] the vengeance of Jehovah, Be avenged of her, as she did — do ye to her.
Clamate adversus eam, ubique dedit manum, ceciderunt fundamenta eius, destructi sunt muri eius, quoniam ultio Domini est: ultionem accipite de ea, sicut fecit, facite ei.
16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword, Each unto his people — they turn, And each to his land — they flee.
Disperdite satorem de Babylone, et tenentem falcem in tempore messis: a facie gladii columbae unusquisque ad populum suum convertetur, et singuli ad terram suam fugient.
17 A scattered sheep is Israel, lions have driven away, At first, devour him did the king of Asshur, And now, at last, broken his bone Hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
Grex dispersus Israel, leones eiecerunt eum: primus comedit eum rex Assur: iste novissimus exossavit eum Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis.
18 Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I have seen after the king of Asshur;
Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego visitabo regem Babylonis, et terram eius, sicut visitavi regem Assur:
19 And I have brought back Israel unto his habitation, And he hath fed on Carmel, and on Bashan. And in mount Ephraim, and on Gilead is his soul satisfied.
et reducam Israel ad habitaculum suum: et pascetur Carmelus, et Basan, et in monte Ephraim, et Galaad saturabitur anima eius.
20 In those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah, Sought is the iniquity of Israel, and it is not, And the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to those whom I leave!
In diebus illis, et in tempore illo, ait Dominus: quaeretur iniquitas Israel, et non erit: et peccatum Iuda, et non invenietur: quoniam propitius ero eis, quos reliquero.
21 Against the land of Merathaim: Go up against it, and unto the inhabitants of Pekod, Waste and devote their posterity, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do according to all that I have commanded thee.
Super terram dominantium ascende, et super habitatores eius visita, dissipa, et interfice quae post eos sunt, ait Dominus: et fac iuxta omnia quae praecepi tibi.
22 A noise of battle [is] in the land, and of great destruction.
Vox belli in terra, et contritio magna.
23 How hath it been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole earth! How hath Babylon been for a desolation among nations!
Quomodo confractus est, et contritus malleus universae terrae? quomodo versa est in desertum Babylon in Gentibus?
24 I have laid a snare for thee, And also — thou art captured, O Babylon, And thou — thou hast known, Thou hast been found, and also art caught, For against Jehovah thou hast stirred thyself up.
Illaqueavi te, et capta es Babylon, et nesciebas: inventa es et apprehensa: quoniam Dominum provocasti.
25 Jehovah hath opened His treasury, And He bringeth out the weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans.
Aperuit Dominus thesaurum suum, et protulit vasa irae suae: quoniam opus est Domino Deo exercituum in terra Chaldaeorum.
26 Come ye in to her from the extremity, Open ye her storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her have no remnant.
Venite ad eam ab extremis finibus, aperite ut exeant qui conculcent eam: tollite de via lapides, et redigite in acervos, et interficite eam: nec sit quidquam reliquum.
27 Slay all her kine, they go down to slaughter, Woe [is] on them, for come hath their day, The time of their inspection.
Dissipate universos fortes eius, descendant in occisionem: vae eis, quia venit dies eorum, tempus visitationis eorum.
28 A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, The vengeance of His temple.
Vox fugientium, et eorum, qui evaserunt de terra Babylonis, ut annuncient in Sion ultionem Domini Dei nostri, ultionem templi eius.
29 Summon unto Babylon archers, all treading the bow, Encamp against her round about, Let [her] have no escape; Recompense to her according to her work, According to all that she did — do to her, For unto Jehovah she hath been proud, Unto the Holy One of Israel.
Annunciate in Babylonem plurimis omnibus, qui tendunt arcum: consistite adversus eam per gyrum, et nullus evadat: reddite ei secundum opus suum: iuxta omnia quae fecit, facite illi: quia contra Dominum erecta est, adversum sanctum Israel.
30 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all her men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Idcirco cadent iuvenes eius in plateis eius: et omnes viri bellatores eius conticescent in die illa, ait Dominus.
31 Lo, I [am] against thee, O pride, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, For thy day hath come, the time of thy inspection.
Ecce ego ad te superbe, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum: quia venit dies tuus, tempus visitationis tuae.
32 And stumbled hath pride, And he hath fallen, and hath no raiser up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it hath devoured all round about him.
Et cadet superbus, et corruet, et non erit qui suscitet eum: et succendam ignem in urbibus eius, et devorabit omnia in circuitu eius.
33 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Oppressed are the sons of Israel, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Calumniam sustinent filii Israel, et filii Iuda simul: omnes, qui ceperunt eos, tenent, nolunt dimittere eos.
34 Their Redeemer [is] strong, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, He doth thoroughly plead their cause, So as to cause the land to rest, And He hath given trouble to the inhabitants of Babylon.
Redemptor eorum fortis, Dominus exercituum nomen eius, iudicio defendet causam eorum, ut exterreat terram, et commoveat habitatores Babylonis.
35 A sword [is] for the Chaldeans, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads, and on her wise men;
Gladius ad Chaldaeos, ait Dominus, et ad habitatores Babylonis, et ad principes, et ad sapientes eius.
36 A sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish; A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken down;
Gladius ad divinos eius, qui stulti erunt: gladius ad fortes illius, qui timebunt.
37 A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women; A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled;
Gladius ad equos eius, et ad currus eius, et ad omne vulgus, quod est in medio eius: et erunt quasi mulieres: gladius ad thesauros eius, qui diripientur.
38 A sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up, For it [is] a land of graven images, And in idols they do boast themselves.
Siccitas super aquas eius erit, et arescent: quia terra sculptilium est, et in portentis gloriantur.
39 Therefore dwell do Ziim with Iim, Yea, dwelt in her have daughters of the ostrich, And it is not inhabited any more for ever, Nor dwelt in unto all generations.
propterea habitabunt dracones cum faunis sicariis: et habitabunt in ea struthiones: et non inhabitabitur ultra usque in sempiternum, nec extruetur usque ad generationem, et generationem.
40 As overthrown by God with Sodom, And with Gomorrah, and with its neighbours, An affirmation of Jehovah, none doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.
Sicut subvertit Dominus Sodomam et Gomorrham, et vicinas eius, ait Dominus: non habitabit ibi vir, et non incolet eam filius hominis.
41 Lo, a people hath come from the north, Even a great nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides of the earth.
Ecce populus venit ab Aquilone, et gens magna, et reges multi consurgent a finibus terrae.
42 Bow and halbert they seize, Cruel [are] they, and they have no mercy, Their voice as a sea soundeth, and on horses they ride, Set in array as a man for battle, Against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
Arcum et scutum apprehendent: crudeles sunt et immisericordes: vox eorum quasi mare sonabit, et super equos ascendent: sicut vir paratus ad praelium contra te filia Babylon.
43 Heard hath the king of Babylon their report, And feeble have been his hands, Distress hath seized him; pain as a travailing woman.
Audivit rex Babylonis famam eorum, et dissolutae sunt manus eius: angustia apprehendit eum, dolor quasi parturientem.
44 Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? on her I lay a charge, For who [is] like Me? And who doth convene Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?
Ecce quasi leo ascendet de superbia Iordanis ad pulchritudinem robustam: quia subito currere faciam eum ad illam: et quis erit electus, quem praeponam ei? quis est enim similis mei? et quis sustinebit me? et quis est iste pastor, qui resistat vultui meo?
45 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He counselled concerning Babylon, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Doth He not make desolate over them the habitation?
Propterea audite consilium Domini, quod mente concepit adversum Babylonem: et cogitationes eius, quas cogitavit super terram Chaldaeorum: Nisi detraxerint eos parvuli gregum, nisi dissipatum fuerit cum ipsis habitaculum eorum.
46 From the voice: Captured was Babylon, Hath the earth been shaken, And a cry among nations hath been heard!
A voce captivitatis Babylonis commota est terra, et clamor inter Gentes auditus est.
