< Jeremiæ 43 >
1 Factum est autem, cum complesset Ieremias loquens ad populum universos sermones Domini Dei eorum, pro quibus miserat eum Dominus Deus eorum ad illos, omnia verba haec:
And it comes to pass, when Jeremiah finishes speaking to all the people all the words of their God YHWH, with which their God YHWH has sent him to them—all these words—
2 dixit Azarias filius Osaiae, et Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes viri superbi, dicentes ad Ieremiam: Mendacium tu loqueris: non misit te Dominus Deus noster, dicens: Ne ingrediamini Aegyptum ut habitetis illuc.
that Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, speak to Jeremiah, saying, “You are speaking falsehood; our God YHWH has not sent you to say, Do not enter Egypt to sojourn there;
3 Sed Baruch filius Neriae incitat te adversum nos, ut tradat nos in manus Chaldaeorum, ut interficiat nos, et traduci faciat in Babylonem.
for Baruch son of Neriah is moving you against us, in order to give us up into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, and to remove us to Babylon.”
4 Et non audivit Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, et universus populus vocem Domini ut manerent in Terra Iuda.
And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, and all the people, have not listened to the voice of YHWH, to dwell in the land of Judah;
5 Sed tollens Iohanan filius Caree, et universi principes bellatorum universos reliquiarum Iuda, qui reversi fuerant de cunctis Gentibus, ad quas fuerant ante dispersi, ut habitarent in Terra Iuda:
and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, take all the remnant of Judah who have turned from all the nations to where they were driven to sojourn in the land of Judah,
6 viros, et mulieres, et parvulos, et filias regis, et omnem animam, quam reliquerat Nabuzardan princeps militiae cum Godolia filio Ahicam, filii Saphan, et Ieremiam prophetam, et Baruch filium Neriae.
the men, and the women, and the infant, and the daughters of the king, and every person that Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah,
7 Et ingressi sunt Terram Aegypti, quia non obedierunt voci Domini: et venerunt usque ad Taphnis.
and they enter the land of Egypt, for they have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and they come as far as Tahpanhes.
8 Et factus est sermo Domini ad Ieremiam in Taphnis, dicens:
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Sume lapides grandes in manu tua, et abscondes eos in crypta, quae est sub muro latericio in porta domus Pharaonis in Taphnis, cernentibus viris Iudaeis:
“Take great stones in your hand, and you have hidden them in the clay in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah,
10 Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego mittam, et assumam Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum: et ponam thronum eius super lapides istos, quos abscondi, et statuet solium suum super eos.
and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am sending, and I have taken Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his throne above these stones that I have hid, and he has stretched out his pavilion over them,
11 Veniensque percutiet Terram Aegypti: quos in mortem, in mortem: et quos in captivitatem, in captivitatem: et quos in gladium, in gladium.
and he has come, and struck the land of Egypt—those who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to the sword.
12 Et succendet ignem in delubris deorum Aegypti, et comburet ea, et captivos ducet illos: et amicietur Terra Aegypti, sicut amicitur pastor pallio suo: et egredietur inde in pace.
And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and it has burned them, and he has taken them captive, and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as the shepherd covers himself with his garment, and he has gone forth there in peace;
13 Et conteret statuas domus Solis, quae sunt in Terra Aegypti: et delubra deorum Aegypti comburet igne.
and he has broken the standing pillars of the house of the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and he burns the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.”
