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 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 paeniteat me mali quod cogito facere eis propter malitias 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 Hieremiam 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 conplesset Hieremias loquens omnia quae praeceperat ei Dominus ut loqueretur ad universum populum adprehenderunt eum sacerdotes et prophetae et omnis populus dicens morte morietur

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 adversum Hieremiam in domum 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 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 adversum 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 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

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 paenitebit 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 ut 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 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 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 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 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 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 paenituit Dominum mali quod locutus erat 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 adversum civitatem istam et adversum terram hanc iuxta universa verba Hieremiae

'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 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 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 Ioachim 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 Ioachim 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 Hieremia ut non traderetur in manu 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.
