Jeremiæ 25
1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam de omni populo Iuda in anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, (ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis.)
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah; the same was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
2 Quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iuda, et ad universos habitatores Ierusalem, dicens:
the which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 A tertiodecimo anno Iosiæ 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.
From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising up early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
4 Et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque et non audistis, neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis
And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear;
5 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 sæculo et usque in sæculum.
saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers, from of old and even for evermore:
6 Et nolite ire post deos alienos ut serviatis eis, adoretisque eos: neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum, et non affligam vos.
and go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
7 Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum in malum vestrum.
Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.
8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea:
Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
9 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, quæ in circuitu illius sunt: et interficiam eos, et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum, et in solitudines sempiternas.
behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and [I will send] unto Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi, et vocem sponsæ, vocem molæ, et lumen lucernæ.
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
11 Et erit universa terra hæc in solitudinem, et in stuporem: et servient omnes gentes istæ regi Babylonis septuaginta annis.
And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 Cumque impleti fuerint septuaginta anni, visitabo super regem Babylonis, et super gentem illam, dicit Dominus, iniquitatem eorum, et super terram Chaldæorum: et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas.
And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate for ever.
13 Et adducam super terram illam, omnia verba mea, quæ locutus sum contra eam, omne quod scriptum est in libro isto, quæcumque prophetavit Ieremias adversum omnes gentes:
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
14 Quia servierunt eis cum essent gentes multæ, et reges magni: et reddam eis secundum opera eorum, et secundum facta manuum suarum.
For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them, even of them: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.
15 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.
For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
16 Et bibent, et turbabuntur, et insanient a facie gladii, quem ego mittam inter eos.
And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
17 Et accepi calicem de manu Domini, et propinavi cunctis gentibus, ad quas misit me Dominus:
Then took I the cup at the LORD’S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
18 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:
[to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
19 Pharaoni regi Ægypti, et servis eius, et principibus eius, et omni populo eius,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
20 et universis generaliter: cunctis regibus terræ Ausitidis, et cunctis regibus terræ Philisthiim, et Ascaloni, et Gazæ, et Accaron, et reliquiis Azoti,
and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 et Idumææ, et Moab, et filiis Ammon:
Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
22 Et cunctis regibus Tyri, et universis regibus Sidonis: et regibus terræ insularum, qui sunt trans mare.
and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
23 Et Dedan, et Thema, et Buz, et universis qui attonsi sunt in comam.
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their hair] polled;
24 Et cunctis regibus Arabiæ, et cunctis regibus Occidentis, qui habitant in deserto.
and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the wilderness;
25 Et cunctis regibus Zambri, et cunctis regibus Elam, et cunctis regibus Medorum:
and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 cunctis quoque regibus Aquilonis de prope et de longe, unicuique contra fratrem suum: et omnibus regnis terræ, quæ super faciem eius sunt: et rex Sesach bibet post eos.
and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Bibite, et inebriamini, et vomite: et cadite, neque surgatis a facie gladii, quem ego mittam inter vos.
And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
28 Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua ut bibant, dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Bibentes bibetis:
And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Ye shall surely drink.
29 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 terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum.
For, lo, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
30 Et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba hæc, 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 terræ.
Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar against his fold; he shall give a shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terræ: quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus: iudicatur ipse cum omni carne, impios tradidi gladio, dicit Dominus.
A noise shall come even to the end of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword, saith the LORD.
32 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce afflictio egredietur de gente in gentem: et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terræ.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
33 Et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa a summo terræ usque ad summum eius: non plangentur, et non colligentur, neque sepelientur: in sterquilinium super faciem terræ iacebunt.
And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.
34 Ululate pastores, et clamate: et aspergite vos cinere optimates gregis: quia completi sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini: et dissipationes vestræ, et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa.
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in ashes], ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are fully come, and I will break you in pieces, and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
35 Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 Vox clamoris pastorum, et ululatus optimatum gregis: quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum.
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the howling of the principal of the flock! for the LORD layeth waste their pasture.
37 Et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie iræ furoris Domini.
And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie iræ columbæ, et a facie iræ furoris Domini.
He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing [sword], and because of his fierce anger.
