Jeremiæ 26

1 in principio regis Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda factum est verbum istud a Domino dicens

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from the LORD, 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 says the LORD: Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not diminish a word.

3 si forte audiant et convertantur unusquisque a via sua mala et paeniteat me mali quod cogito facere eis propter malitias studiorum eorum

It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do 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

You shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 ut audiatis sermones servorum meorum prophetarum quos ego misi ad vos de nocte consurgens et dirigens et non audistis

to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;

6 dabo domum istam sicut Silo et urbem hanc dabo in maledictionem cunctis gentibus terrae

then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.'"

7 et audierunt sacerdotes et prophetae et omnis populus Hieremiam loquentem verba haec in domo Domini

The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

8 cumque conplesset Hieremias loquens omnia quae praeceperat ei Dominus ut loqueretur ad universum populum adprehenderunt eum sacerdotes et prophetae et omnis populus dicens morte morietur

It happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, "You shall 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 adversum Hieremiam in domum Domini

Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, 'This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant?'" All the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.

10 et audierunt principes Iuda verba haec et ascenderunt de domo regis in domum Domini et sederunt in introitu portae Domini novae

When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD; and they sat in the entry of the New Gate of the LORD's house.

11 et locuti sunt sacerdotes et prophetae ad principes et ad omnem populum dicentes iudicium mortis est viro huic quia prophetavit adversum civitatem istam sicut audistis auribus vestris

Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the officials and to all the people, saying, "This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears."

12 et ait Hieremias ad omnes principes et ad universum populum dicens Dominus misit me ut prophetarem ad domum istam et ad civitatem hanc omnia verba quae audistis

Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and to all the people, saying, "The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

13 nunc ergo bonas facite vias vestras et studia vestra et audite vocem Domini Dei vestri et paenitebit Dominum mali quod locutus est adversum vos

Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you.

14 ego autem ecce in manibus vestris sum facite mihi ut bonum et rectum est in oculis vestris

But as for me, look, I am in your hands; do with me as is good and right in your eyes.

15 verumtamen scitote et cognoscite quod si occideritis me sanguinem innocentem traditis contra vosmet ipsos 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 for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears."

16 et dixerunt principes et omnis populus ad sacerdotes et prophetas non est viro huic iudicium mortis quia in nomine Domini Dei nostri locutus est ad nos

Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: "This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."

17 surrexerunt ergo viri de senioribus terrae et dixerunt ad omnem coetum populi loquentes

Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 Michas de Morasthim fuit propheta in diebus Ezechiae regis Iudae et ait ad omnem populum Iudae dicens haec dicit Dominus exercituum Sion quasi ager arabitur et Hierusalem in acervum lapidum erit et mons domus in excelsa silvarum

"Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the 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 paenituit Dominum mali quod locutus erat adversum eos itaque nos facimus malum grande contra animas nostras

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the LORD, and seek the favor of the LORD, and the LORD relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.

20 fuit quoque vir prophetans in nomine Domini Urias filius Semei de Cariathiarim et prophetavit adversum civitatem istam et adversum terram hanc iuxta universa verba Hieremiae

"There was also a man who prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

21 et audivit rex Ioachim et omnes potentes et principes eius verba haec et quaesivit rex interficere eum et audivit Urias et timuit fugitque et ingressus est Aegyptum

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.

22 et misit rex Ioachim viros in Aegyptum Elnathan filium Achobor et viros cum eo in Aegyptum

And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;

23 et eduxerunt Uriam de Aegypto et adduxerunt eum ad regem Ioachim et percussit eum gladio et proiecit cadaver eius in sepulchris vulgi ignobilis

and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people."

24 igitur manus Ahicam filii Saphan fuit cum Hieremia ut non traderetur in manu populi et interficerent eum

But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
