Jeremiah 51
1 Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up against Babylon, And the inhabitants of Leb — My withstanders, A destroying wind,
haec dicit Dominus ecce ego suscitabo super Babylonem et super habitatores eius qui cor suum levaverunt contra me quasi ventum pestilentem
2 And I have sent to Babylon fanners, And they have fanned it, and they empty its land, For they have been against it, Round about — in the day of evil.
et mittam in Babylonem ventilatores et ventilabunt eam et demolientur terram eius quoniam venerunt super eam undique in die adflictionis eius
3 Let not the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, Nor have ye pity on her young men, Devote ye to destruction all her host.
non tendat qui tendit arcum suum et non ascendat loricatus nolite parcere iuvenibus eius interficite omnem militiam eius
4 And fallen have the wounded in the land of the Chaldeans, And the pierced-through in her streets.
et cadent interfecti in terra Chaldeorum et vulnerati in regionibus eius
5 For, not forsaken is Israel and Judah, By its God — by Jehovah of Hosts, For their land hath been full of guilt, Against the Holy One of Israel.
quoniam non fuit viduatus Israhel et Iuda a Deo suo Domino exercituum terra autem eorum repleta est delicto a Sancto Israhel
6 Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, And deliver ye each his soul, Be not cut off in its iniquity, For a time of vengeance it [is] to Jehovah, Recompence He is rendering to her.
fugite de medio Babylonis et salvet unusquisque animam suam nolite tacere super iniquitatem eius quoniam tempus ultionis est Domino vicissitudinem ipse retribuet ei
7 A golden cup [is] Babylon in the hand of Jehovah, Making drunk all the earth, Of its wine drunk have nations, Therefore boast themselves do nations.
calix aureus Babylon in manu Domini inebrians omnem terram de vino eius biberunt gentes et ideo commotae sunt
8 Suddenly hath Babylon fallen, Yea, it is broken, howl ye for it, Take balm for her pain, if so be it may be healed.
subito cecidit Babylon et contrita est ululate super eam tollite resinam ad dolorem eius si forte sanetur
9 We healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and we go, each to his land, For come unto the heavens hath its judgment, And it hath been lifted up unto the clouds.
curavimus Babylonem et non est sanata derelinquamus eam et eamus unusquisque in terram suam quoniam pervenit usque ad caelos iudicium eius et elevatum est usque ad nubes
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and we recount in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
protulit Dominus iustitias nostras venite et narremus in Sion opus Domini Dei nostri
11 Cleanse ye the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up hath Jehovah the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon His device [is] to destroy it, For the vengeance of Jehovah it [is], The vengeance of His temple.
acuite sagittas implete faretras suscitavit Dominus spiritum regum Medorum et contra Babylonem mens eius ut perdat eam quoniam ultio Domini est ultio templi sui
12 Unto the walls of Babylon lift up an ensign, Strengthen the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For Jehovah hath both devised and done that which He spake, Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.
super muros Babylonis levate signum augete custodiam levate custodes praeparate insidias quia cogitavit Dominus et fecit quaecumque locutus est contra habitatores Babylonis
13 O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Come in hath thine end, the measure of thy dishonest gain.
quae habitas super aquas multas locuples in thesauris venit finis tuus pedalis praecisionis tuae
14 Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts by Himself, That, Surely I have filled thee [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have cried against thee — shouting.
iuravit Dominus exercituum per animam suam quoniam replebo te hominibus quasi brucho et super te celeuma cantabitur
15 The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the heavens,
qui fecit terram in fortitudine sua praeparavit orbem in sapientia sua et prudentia sua extendit caelos
16 At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [are] in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth out wind from His treasures.
dante eo vocem multiplicantur aquae in caelo qui levat nubes ab extremo terrae fulgura in pluviam fecit et produxit ventum de thesauris suis
17 Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image, And there is no breath in them.
stultus factus est omnis homo ab scientia confusus est omnis conflator in sculptili quia mendax conflatio eius nec est spiritus in eis
18 Vanity [are] they — work of errors, In the time of their inspection they perish.
vana sunt opera et risu digna in tempore visitationis suae peribunt
19 Not like these [is] the portion of Jacob, For He [is] former of all things, And [Israel is] the rod of His inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
non sicut haec pars Iacob quia qui fecit omnia ipse est et Israhel sceptrum hereditatis eius Dominus exercituum nomen eius
20 An axe [art] thou to me — weapons of war, And I have broken in pieces by thee nations, And I have destroyed by thee kingdoms,
conlidis tu mihi vasa belli et ego conlidam in te gentes et disperdam in te regna
21 And I have broken in pieces by thee horse and its rider, And I have broken in pieces by thee chariot and its charioteer,
et conlidam in te equum et equitem eius et conlidam in te currum et ascensorem eius
22 And I have broken in pieces by thee man and woman, And I have broken in pieces by thee old and young, And I have broken in pieces by thee young man and virgin,
et conlidam in te virum et mulierem et conlidam in te senem et puerum et conlidam in te iuvenem et virginem
23 And I have broken in pieces by thee shepherd and his drove, And I have broken in pieces by thee husbandman and his team, And I have broken in pieces by thee governors and prefects.
et conlidam in te pastorem et gregem eius et conlidam in te agricolam et iugales eius et conlidam in te duces et magistratus
24 And I have recompensed to Babylon, And to all inhabitants of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before your eyes — an affirmation of Jehovah.
et reddam Babyloni et cunctis habitatoribus Chaldeae omne malum suum quod fecerunt in Sion in oculis vestris ait Dominus
25 Lo, I [am] against thee, O destroying mount, An affirmation of Jehovah, That is destroying all the earth, And I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I have rolled thee from the rocks, And given thee for a burnt mountain.
ecce ego ad te mons pestifer ait Dominus qui corrumpis universam terram et extendam manum meam super te et evolvam te de petris et dabo te in montem conbustionis
26 And they take not out of thee a stone for a corner, And a stone for foundations, For desolations age-during art thou, An affirmation of Jehovah.
et non tollent de te lapidem in angulum et lapidem in fundamenta sed perditus in aeternum eris ait Dominus
27 Lift ye up an ensign in the land, Blow a trumpet among nations, Sanctify against it nations, Summon against it the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint against it an infant head, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm.
levate signum in terra clangite bucina in gentibus sanctificate super eam gentes adnuntiate contra illam regibus Ararat Menni et Aschenez numerate contra eam Thapsar adducite equum quasi bruchum aculeatum
28 Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media, Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its dominion.
sanctificate contra eam gentes reges Mediae duces eius et universos magistratus eius cunctamque terram potestatis eius
29 And shake doth the land, and it is pained, For stood against Babylon have the purposes of Jehovah, To make the land of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant.
et commovebitur terra et turbabitur quia evigilavit contra Babylonem cogitatio Domini ut ponat terram Babylonis desertam et inhabitabilem
30 Ceased have the mighty of Babylon to fight, They have remained in strongholds, Failed hath their might, they have become woman, They have burnt her tabernacles, Broken have been her bars.
cessaverunt fortes Babylonis a proelio habitaverunt in praesidiis devoratum est robur eorum et facti sunt quasi mulieres incensa sunt tabernacula eius contriti sunt vectes eius
31 Runner to meet runner doth run, And announcer to meet announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For, captured hath been his city — at the extremity.
currens obviam currenti veniet et nuntius obvius nuntianti ut adnuntiet regi Babylonis quia capta est civitas eius a summo usque ad summum
32 And the passages have been captured, And the reeds they have burnt with fire, And the men of war have been troubled.
et vada praeoccupata sunt et paludes incensae sunt igni et viri bellatores conturbati sunt
33 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her threshing — yet a little, And come hath the time of her harvest.
quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel filia Babylon quasi area tempus triturae eius adhuc modicum et veniet tempus messionis eius
34 Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, He hath set us [as] an empty vessel, He hath swallowed us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He hath driven us away.
comedit me devoravit me Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis reddidit me quasi vas inane absorbuit me sicut draco replevit ventrem suum teneritudine mea et eiecit me
35 My wrong, and [that of] my flesh [is] on Babylon, Say doth the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem.
iniquitas adversum me et caro mea super Babylonem dicit habitatio Sion et sanguis meus super habitatores Chaldeae dicit Hierusalem
36 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause, And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and made its fountains dry.
propterea haec dicit Dominus ecce ego iudicabo causam tuam et ulciscar ultionem tuam et desertum faciam mare eius et siccabo venam eius
37 And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons, An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
et erit Babylon in tumulos habitatio draconum stupor et sibilus eo quod non sit habitator
38 Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken themselves as lions' whelps.
simul ut leones rugient excutient comas velut catuli leonum
39 In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep age-during, And awake not — an affirmation of Jehovah.
in calore eorum ponam potus eorum et inebriabo eos ut sopiantur et dormiant somnum sempiternum et non consurgant dicit Dominus
40 I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams with he-goats.
deducam eos quasi agnos ad victimam quasi arietes cum hedis
41 How hath Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise of the whole earth, How hath Babylon been for an astonishment among nations.
quomodo capta est Sesach et conprehensa est inclita universae terrae quomodo facta est in stuporem Babylon inter gentes
42 Come up against Babylon hath the sea, With a multitude of its billows it hath been covered.
ascendit super Babylonem mare multitudine fluctuum eius operta est
43 Its cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a wilderness, A land — none doth dwell in them, Nor pass over into them doth a son of man.
factae sunt civitates eius in stuporem terra inhabitabilis et deserta terra in qua nullus habitet nec transeat per eam filius hominis
44 And I have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought forth that which he swallowed — from his mouth, And flow no more unto him do nations, Also the wall of Babylon hath fallen.
et visitabo super Bel in Babylone et eiciam quod absorbuerat de ore eius et non confluent ad eum ultra gentes siquidem et murus Babylonis corruit
45 Go forth from its midst, O My people, And deliver ye, each his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah,
egredimini de medio eius populus meus ut salvet unusquisque animam suam ab ira furoris Domini
46 And lest your heart be tender, And ye be afraid of the report that is heard in the land, And come in a year hath the report, And after it in a year the report, And violence [is] in the land, ruler against ruler;
et ne forte mollescat cor vestrum et timeatis auditum qui audietur in terra et veniet in anno auditio et post hunc annum auditio et iniquitas in terra et dominator super dominatorem
47 Therefore, lo, days are coming, And I have seen after the graven images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all its pierced ones do fall in its midst.
propterea ecce dies veniunt et visitabo super sculptilia Babylonis et omnis terra eius confundetur et universi interfecti eius cadent in medio eius
48 And cried aloud against Babylon Have heavens and earth, and all that [is] in them, For, from the north come to it do the spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
et laudabunt super Babylonem caeli et terra et omnia quae in eis sunt quia ab aquilone venient ei praedones ait Dominus
49 Even Babylon [is] to fall, ye pierced of Israel, Even they of Babylon have fallen, Ye pierced of all the earth.
et quomodo fecit Babylon ut caderent occisi in Israhel sic de Babylone cadent occisi in universa terra
50 Ye escaped of the sword, go on, stand not, Remember ye from afar Jehovah, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart.
qui fugistis gladium venite nolite stare recordamini procul Domini et Hierusalem ascendat super cor vestrum
51 We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Covered hath shame our faces, For come in have strangers, against the sanctuaries of the house of Jehovah.
confusi sumus quoniam audivimus obprobrium operuit ignominia facies nostras quia venerunt alieni super sanctificationem domus Domini
52 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have seen after its graven images, And in all its land groan doth the wounded.
propterea ecce dies veniunt ait Dominus et visitabo super sculptilia eius et in omni terra eius mugiet vulneratus
53 Because Babylon goeth up to the heavens, And because it fenceth the high place of its strength, From Me come into it do spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah.
si ascenderit Babylon in caelum et firmaverit in excelso robur suum a me venient vastatores eius ait Dominus
54 A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldean.
vox clamoris de Babylone et contritio magna de terra Chaldeorum
55 For Jehovah is spoiling Babylon, And hath destroyed out of it a great voice, And sounded have its billows as many waters, Given forth a noise hath their voice.
quoniam vastavit Dominus Babylonem et perdidit ex ea vocem magnam et sonabunt fluctus eorum quasi aquae multae dedit sonitum vox eorum
56 For come in against it — against Babylon — hath a spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have been their bows, For the God of recompences — Jehovah — doth certainly repay.
quia venit super eam id est super Babylonem praedo et adprehensi sunt fortes eius et emarcuit arcus eorum quia fortis ultor Dominus reddens retribuet
57 And I have caused its princes to drink, And its wise men, its governors, And its prefects, and its mighty ones, And they have slept a sleep age-during, And they awake not — an affirmation of the king, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
et inebriabo principes eius et sapientes eius duces eius et magistratus eius et fortes eius et dormient somnum sempiternum et non expergiscentur ait Rex Dominus exercituum nomen eius
58 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, the wall of Babylon — The broad one — is utterly made bare, And her high gates with fire are burnt, And peoples labour in vain, And nations in fire, and have been weary!
haec dicit Dominus exercituum murus Babylonis ille latissimus suffossione suffodietur et portae eius excelsae igni conburentur et labores populorum ad nihilum et gentium in igne erunt et disperibunt
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath commanded Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign — and Seraiah [is] a quiet prince;
verbum quod praecepit Hieremias prophetes Saraiae filio Neriae filii Maasiae cum pergeret cum Sedecia rege in Babylonem in anno quarto regni eius Saraias autem erat princeps prophetiae
60 and Jeremiah writeth all the evil that cometh unto Babylon on one book — all these words that are written concerning Babylon.
et scripsit Hieremias omne malum quod venturum erat super Babylonem in libro uno omnia verba haec quae scripta sunt contra Babylonem
61 And Jeremiah saith unto Seraiah, 'When thou dost enter Babylon, then thou hast seen, and hast read all these words,
et dixit Hieremias ad Saraiam cum veneris Babylonem et videris et legeris omnia verba haec
62 and hast said: Jehovah, Thou, Thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it, from man even unto cattle, for it is a desolation age-during.
dices Domine tu locutus es contra locum istum ut disperderes eum ne sit qui in eo habitet ab homine usque ad pecus et ut sit perpetua solitudo
63 And it hath come to pass, when thou dost finish reading this book, thou dost bind to it a stone, and hast cast it into the midst of Phrat,
cumque conpleveris legere librum istum ligabis ad eum lapidem et proicies illum in medio Eufraten
64 and said, Thus sink doth Babylon, and it doth not arise, because of the evil that I am bringing in against it, and they have been weary.' Hitherto [are] words of Jeremiah.
et dices sic submergetur Babylon et non consurget a facie adflictionis quam ego adduco super eam et dissolventur hucusque verba Hieremiae
