< Jeremiæ 26 >

1 In principio regni Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, factum est verbum istud a Domino, dicens:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been from Jehovah, saying:
2 Haec dicit Dominus: Sta in atrio domus Domini, et loqueris ad omnes civitates Iuda, de quibus veniunt ut adorent in domo Domini, universos sermones, quos ego mandavi tibi ut loquaris ad eos: noli subtrahere verbum,
'Thus said Jehovah, Stand thou in the court of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast spoken unto all [those of] the cities of Judah who are coming in to bow themselves in the house of Jehovah, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them, thou dost not diminish a word.
3 si forte audiant et convertantur unusquisque a via sua mala: et poeniteat me mali quod cogito facere eis propter malitiam studiorum eorum.
If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his evil way, then I have repented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
4 Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus: Si non audieritis me ut ambuletis in lege mea, quam dedi vobis
'And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, If ye do not hearken unto Me, to walk in My law, that I set before you,
5 ut audiatis sermones servorum meorum Prophetarum, quos ego misi ad vos de nocte consurgens, et dirigens, et non audistis:
To hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending unto you, yea, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened,
6 Dabo domum istam sicut Silo, et urbem hanc dabo in maledictionem cunctis gentibus terrae.
Then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.'
7 Et audierunt sacerdotes, et prophetae, et omnis populus Ieremiam loquentem verba haec in domo Domini.
And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah,
8 Cumque complesset Ieremias loquens omnia, quae praeceperat ei Dominus ut loqueretur ad universum populum, apprehenderunt eum sacerdotes, et prophetae, et omnis populus, dicens: Morte moriatur.
And it cometh to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah's speaking all that Jehovah hath commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, Thou dost surely die,
9 Quare prophetavit in nomine Domini, dicens: Sicut Silo erit domus haec: et urbs ista desolabitur, eo quod non sit habitator? Et congregatus est omnis populus adversus Ieremiam in domo Domini.
Wherefore hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, 'As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled unto Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
10 Et audierunt principes Iuda verba haec: et ascenderunt de domo regis in domum Domini, et sederunt in introitu portae domus Domini novae.
And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of Jehovah, and sit in the opening of the new gate of Jehovah.
11 Et locuti sunt sacerdotes et prophetae ad principes, et ad omnem populum, dicentes: Iudicium mortis est viro huic: quia prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, sicut audistis auribus vestris.
And the priests and the prophets speak unto the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.'
12 Et ait Ieremias ad omnes principes, et ad universum populum, dicens: Dominus misit me ut prophetarem ad domum istam, et ad civitatem hanc omnia verba quae audistis.
And Jeremiah speaketh unto all the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Jehovah sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that ye have heard;
13 Nunc ergo bonas facite vias vestras, et studia vestra, et audite vocem Domini Dei vestri: et poenitebit Dominum mali, quod locutus est adversum vos.
And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah doth repent concerning the evil that He hath spoken against you.
14 Ego autem ecce in manibus vestris sum: facite mihi quod bonum et rectum est in oculis vestris:
'And I, lo, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is right in your eyes;
15 Verumtamen scitote et cognoscite quod si occideritis me, sanguinem innocentem tradetis contra vosmetipsos, et contra civitatem istam, et habitatores eius. in veritate enim misit me Dominus ad vos, ut loquerer in auribus vestris omnia verba haec.
Only, know ye certainly, that if ye are putting me to death, surely innocent blood ye are putting on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly hath Jehovah sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.'
16 Et dixerunt principes, et omnis populus ad sacerdotes et ad prophetas: Non est viro huic iudicium mortis: quia in nomine Domini Dei nostri locutus est ad nos.
And the heads and all the people say unto the priests and unto the prophets, 'There is not for this man a judgment of death, for in the name of Jehovah our God he hath spoken unto us.'
17 Surrexerunt ergo viri de senioribus terrae: et dixerunt ad omnem coetum populi, loquentes:
And certain of the elders of the land rise up, and speak unto all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 Michaeas de Morasthi fuit propheta in diebus Ezechiae regis Iuda, et ait ad omnem populum Iuda, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Sion quasi ager arabitur: et Ierusalem in acervum lapidum erit: et mons domus in excelsa silvarum.
'Micah the Morashtite hath been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he saith unto all the people of Judah, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
19 Numquid morte condemnavit eum Ezechias rex Iuda, et omnis Iuda? numquid non timuerunt Dominum, et deprecati sunt faciem Domini: et poenituit Dominum mali, quod locutus fuerat adversum eos? Itaque nos facimus malum grande contra animas nostras.
'Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil that He spake against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.
20 Fuit quoque vir prophetans in nomine Domini, Urias filius Semei de Cariathiarim: et prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, et adversus terram hanc iuxta omnia verba Ieremiae.
'And also there hath been a man prophesying in the name of Jehovah, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesieth against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
21 Et audivit rex Ioakim, et omnes potentes, et principes eius verba haec: et quaesivit rex interficere eum. Et audivit Urias, et timuit, fugitque et ingressus est Aegyptum.
And the king Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeketh to put him to death, and Urijah heareth, and feareth, and fleeth, and goeth in to Egypt.
22 Et misit rex Ioakim viros in Aegyptum, Elnathan filium Achobor, et viros cum eo in Aegyptum.
And the king Jehoiakim sendeth men to Egypt — Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him unto Egypt —
23 Et eduxerunt Uriam de Aegypto: et adduxerunt eum ad regem Ioakim, et percussit eum gladio: et proiecit cadaver eius in sepulchris vulgi ignobilis.
And they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him in unto the king Jehoiakim, and he smiteth him with a sword, and casteth his corpse unto the graves of the sons of the people.'
24 Igitur manus Ahicam filii Saphan fuit cum Ieremia, ut non traderetur in manus populi, et interficerent eum.
Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan hath been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
