Jeremiæ 27
1 In principio regni Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, factum est verbum istud ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 Haec dicit Dominus ad me: Fac tibi vincula, et catenas: et pones eas in collo tuo.
Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
3 Et mittes eas ad regem Edom, et ad regem Moab, et ad regem filiorum Ammon, et ad regem Tyri, et ad regem Sidonis: in manu nunciorum qui venerunt Ierusalem ad Sedechiam regem Iuda.
And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
4 Et praecipies eis ut ad dominos suos loquantur: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Haec dicetis ad dominos vestros:
And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters;
5 Ego feci terram, et homines, et iumenta, quae sunt super faciem terrae, in fortitudine mea magna, et in brachio meo extento: et dedi eam ei, qui placuit in oculis meis.
I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed right to me.
6 Et nunc itaque ego dedi omnes terras istas in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis servi mei: insuper et bestias agri dedi ei ut serviant illi.
And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
7 Et servient ei omnes gentes, et filio eius, et filio filii eius: donec veniat tempus terrae eius et ipsius: et servient ei gentes multae, et reges magni.
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.
8 Gens autem et regnum, quod non servierit Nabuchodonosor regi Babylonis, et quicumque non curvaverit collum suum sub iugo regis Babylonis: in gladio, et in fame, et in peste visitabo super gentem illam, ait Dominus: donec consumam eos in manu eius.
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Vos ergo nolite audire prophetas vestros, et divinos, et somniatores, et augures, et maleficos, qui dicunt vobis: Non servietis regi Babylonis.
Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
10 Quia mendacium prophetant vobis: ut longe vos faciant de terra vestra, et eiiciant vos, et pereatis.
For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
11 Porro gens, quae subiecerit cervicem suam sub iugo regis Babylonis, et servierit ei; dimittam eam in terra sua, dicit Dominus: et colet eam, et habitabit in ea.
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
12 Et ad Sedechiam regem Iuda locutus sum secundum omnia verba haec, dicens: Subiicite colla vestra sub iugo regis Babylonis, et servite ei, et populo eius, et vivetis.
I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Quare moriemini tu et populus tuus gladio, et fame, et peste, sicut locutus est Dominus ad gentem, quae servire noluerit regi Babylonis?
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Nolite audire verba prophetarum dicentium vobis: Non servietis regi Babylonis: quia mendacium ipsi loquuntur vobis.
Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
15 Quia non misi eos, ait Dominus: et ipsi prophetant in nomine meo mendaciter: ut eiiciant vos, et pereatis tam vos, quam prophetae, qui vaticinantur vobis.
For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
16 Et ad sacerdotes, et ad populum istum locutus sum, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Nolite audire verba prophetarum vestrorum, qui prophetant vobis, dicentes: Ecce vasa domus Domini revertentur de Babylone nunc cito, mendacium enim prophetant vobis.
Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD’S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Nolite ergo audire eos, sed servite regi Babylonis, ut vivatis. quare datur haec civitas in solitudinem?
Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?
18 Et si prophetae sunt, et est verbum Domini in eis: occurrant Domino exercituum, ut non veniant vasa, quae derelicta fuerant in domo Domini, et in domo regis Iuda, et in Ierusalem, in Babylonem.
But if they are prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
19 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum ad columnas, et ad mare, et ad bases, et ad reliqua vasorum, quae remanserunt in civitate hac:
For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that remain in this city,
20 quae non tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, cum transferret Iechoniam filium Ioakim regem Iuda de Ierusalem in Babylonem, et omnes optimates Iuda et Ierusalem.
Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel ad vasa, quae derelicta sunt in domo Domini, et in domo regis Iuda et Ierusalem:
Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
22 In Babylonem transferentur, et ibi erunt usque ad diem visitationis suae, dicit Dominus, et afferri faciam ea, et restitui in loco isto.
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
