Jeremiæ 27
1 in principio regni Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda factum est verbum istud ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 haec dicit Dominus ad me fac tibi vincula et catenas et pones eas in collo tuo
Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around 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 nuntiorum qui venerunt Hierusalem ad Sedeciam regem Iuda
And send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of 'Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah the king of Judah;
4 et praecipies eis ut ad dominos suos loquantur haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel haec dicetis ad dominos vestros
And thou shalt charge them unto their masters, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your masters,
5 ego feci terram et hominem 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
It is I who have made the earth, the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it unto the one who seemeth proper in my eyes.
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 it is I who have given all these countries into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and also the beasts of the field have I given him 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 time of his land is also come in its turn: when many nations and great kings shall make it serve.
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 the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck in the yoke of the king of Babylon, —even that nation will I punish with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, saith the Lord, until I have made an end of 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
But do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;
10 quia mendacium prophetant vobis ut longe faciant vos de terra vestra et eiciant vos et pereatis
For falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might 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 nation that will bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, —that one will I then let remain quietly in its own land, saith the Lord: and it shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 et ad Sedeciam regem Iuda locutus sum secundum omnia verba haec dicens subicite colla vestra sub iugo regis Babylonis et servite ei et populo eius et vivetis
And unto Zedekiah the king of Judah did I speak in accordance with all these words, saying, Bring your neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, that ye may live.
13 quare moriemini tu et populus tuus gladio 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 pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning 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
And do ye not hearken unto the words of the prophets that say unto you, as followeth, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
15 quia non misi eos ait Dominus et ipsi prophetant in nomine meo mendaciter ut eiciant vos et pereatis tam vos quam prophetae qui vaticinantur vobis
For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy in my name falsely: in order that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto 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 Domini revertentur de Babylone nunc cito mendacium enim prophetant vobis
And unto the priests and unto all this people did I speak, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Do not hearken to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall be brought again from Babylon now speedily; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
17 nolite ergo audire eos sed servite regi Babylonis ut vivatis quare datur haec civitas in solitudinem
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, that ye may live: wherefore should this city become a ruin?
18 et si prophetae sunt et est verbum Domini in eis occurrant Domino exercituum ut non veniant vasa quae derelicta fuerant in domum Domini et in domum regis Iuda et in Hierusalem in Babylonem
And if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession with 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, may not be carried 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 hath said the Lord of hosts of the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,
20 quae non tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis cum transferret Iechoniam filium Ioachim regem Iuda de Hierusalem in Babylonem et omnes optimates Iuda et Hierusalem
Which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon did not take away, when he carried away into exile Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ad vasa quae derelicta sunt in domum Domini et in domum regis Iuda et Hierusalem
[Yea] for thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem,
22 in Babylonem transferentur et ibi erunt usque ad diem visitationis suae dicit Dominus et adferri faciam ea et restitui in loco isto
Unto Babylon shall they be carried, and there shall they remain until the day that I think of them, saith the Lord, when I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
