Jeremiæ 32
1 verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino in anno decimo Sedeciae regis Iuda ipse est annus octavusdecimus Nabuchodonosor
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah the king of Judah, which is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
2 tunc exercitus regis Babylonis obsidebat Hierusalem et Hieremias propheta erat clausus in atrio carceris qui erat in domo regis Iuda
And at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah;
3 clauserat enim eum Sedecias rex Iuda dicens quare vaticinaris dicens haec dicit Dominus ecce ego dabo civitatem istam in manu regis Babylonis et capiet eam
Because Zedekiah the king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore art thou prophesying, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it.
4 et Sedecias rex Iuda non effugiet de manu Chaldeorum sed tradetur in manu regis Babylonis et loquetur os eius cum ore illius et oculi eius oculos illius videbunt
And Zedekiah the king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, because he shall surely be given up into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak to his mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
5 et in Babylonem ducet Sedeciam et ibi erit donec visitem eum ait Dominus si autem dimicaveritis adversum Chaldeos nihil prosperum habebitis
And to Babylon shall he lead Zedekiah, and there shall he remain until I think of him, saith the Lord: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
6 et dixit Hieremias factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
7 ecce Anamehel filius Sellum patruelis tuus veniet ad te dicens eme tibi agrum meum qui est in Anathoth tibi enim conpetit ex propinquitate ut emas
Behold, Chanamel the son of Shallum thy uncle is coming unto thee, saying, Buy for thyself my field that is in 'Anathoth; for unto thee belongeth the right of redemption to buy it.
8 et venit ad me Anamehel filius patrui mei secundum verbum Domini ad vestibulum carceris et ait ad me posside agrum meum qui est in Anathoth in terra Beniamin quia tibi conpetit hereditas et tu propinquus ut possideas intellexi autem quod verbum Domini esset
And there came to me Chanamel my uncle's son according to the word of the Lord into the court of the prison, and he said unto me, Buy, I pray thee, my field, that is in 'Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for to thee belongeth the right of inheritance, and to thee belongeth the redemption, buy it for thyself: then did I know that it was the word of the Lord.
9 et emi agrum ab Anamehel filio patrui mei qui est in Anathoth et adpendi ei argentum septem stateres et decem argenteos
And I bought the field from Chanamel my uncle's son, that is in 'Anathoth; and I weighed out unto him the money, seven shekels, and ten pieces of silver.
10 et scripsi in libro et signavi et adhibui testes et adpendi argentum in statera
And I wrote it in a deed, and sealed it, and had it certified by witnesses, and weighed the money in balances.
11 et accepi librum possessionis signatum stipulationes et rata et signa forinsecus
And I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, according to the law and custom, and that which was open;
12 et dedi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri filii Maasiae in oculis Anamehel patruelis mei et in oculis testium qui scripti erant in libro emptionis in oculis omnium Iudaeorum qui sedebant in atrio carceris
And I gave the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriyah, the son of Machseyah, before the eyes of Chanamel my kinsman, and before the eyes of the witnesses that had signed the deed of the purchase, before the eyes of all the Jews that were sitting in the court of the prison.
13 et praecepi Baruch coram eis dicens
And I charged Baruch before their eyes, saying,
14 haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel sume libros istos librum emptionis hunc signatum et librum hunc qui apertus est et pones illos in vase fictili ut permanere possint diebus multis
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both the sealed, and this open deed, and place them in an earthen vessel, in order that they may last many days.
15 haec enim dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel adhuc possidebuntur domus et agri et vineae in terra ista
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Yet again shall there be bought houses and fields and vineyards in this land.
16 et oravi ad Dominum postquam tradidi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neri dicens
And I prayed to the Lord after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriyah, saying,
17 heu heu heu Domine Deus ecce tu fecisti caelum et terram in fortitudine tua magna et in brachio tuo extento non erit tibi difficile omne verbum
Ah Lord Eternal! behold, it is thou that hast made the heavens and the earth by thy great power and by thy outstretched arm; nothing is too wonderful for thee;
18 qui facis misericordiam in milibus et reddes iniquitatem patrum in sinu filiorum eorum post eos fortissime magne potens Dominus exercituum nomen tibi
Thou exercisest kindness unto the thousandth [generation], and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers unto the bosom of their children after them; [thou art] the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts is his name;
19 magnus consilio et inconprehensibilis cogitatu cuius oculi aperti sunt super omnes vias filiorum Adam ut reddas unicuique secundum vias suas et secundum fructum adinventionum eius
Great in counsel, and mighty in execution: [thou] whose eyes are open over all the ways of the sons of man, to give unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
20 qui posuisti signa et portenta in terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc et in Israhel et in hominibus et fecisti tibi nomen sicut est dies haec
Who hast displayed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, up to this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and thou hast made thyself a name, as it is at this day;
21 et eduxisti populum tuum Israhel de terra Aegypti in signis et in portentis et in manu robusta et in brachio extento et in terrore magno
And thou didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
22 et dedisti eis terram hanc quam iurasti patribus eorum ut dares eis terram fluentem lacte et melle
And thou gavest them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 et ingressi sunt et possederunt eam et non oboedierunt voci tuae et in lege tua non ambulaverunt omnia quae mandasti eis ut facerent non fecerunt et evenerunt eis omnia mala haec
And they came in, and took possession of it; but they hearkened not to thy voice, and in thy law they did not walk; all that thou hadst commanded them to do they did not do: and thou hast therefore caused all this evil to befall them.
24 ecce munitiones extructae sunt adversum civitatem ut capiatur et urbs data est in manu Chaldeorum qui proeliantur adversum eam a facie gladii et famis et pestilentiae et quaecumque locutus es acciderunt ut ipse tu cernis
Behold the mounds reach unto the city to capture it; and the city is given up into the hand of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.
25 et tu dicis mihi Domine Deus eme agrum argento et adhibe testes cum urbs data sit in manu Chaldeorum
And yet thou hast said unto me, O Lord Eternal, Buy for thyself the field for money, and have it certified by witnesses: while the city is given up into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam dicens
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 ecce ego Dominus Deus universae carnis numquid mihi difficile erit omne verbum
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: shall any thing be too wonderful for me?
28 propterea haec dicit Dominus ecce ego tradam civitatem istam in manu Chaldeorum et in manu regis Babylonis et capiet eam
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will give up this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it:
29 et venient Chaldei proeliantes adversum urbem hanc et succendent eam igni et conburent eam et domos in quarum domatibus sacrificabant Baal et libabant diis alienis libamina ad inritandum me
And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon the roofs of which they have offered incense unto Ba'al, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods, in order to provoke me to anger;
30 erant enim filii Israhel et filii Iuda iugiter facientes malum in oculis meis ab adulescentia sua filii Israhel qui usque nunc exacerbant me in opere manuum suarum dicit Dominus
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have been doing only what is evil in my eyes from their youth; for the children of Israel have been only provoking me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
31 quia in furore et in indignatione mea facta est mihi civitas haec a die qua aedificaverunt eam usque ad diem istam qua aufertur de conspectu meo
For to excite my anger and my fury hath been unto me this city from the day that they built it, even until this day; so that I will remove it from before my presence:
32 propter malitiam filiorum Israhel et filiorum Iuda quam fecerunt ad iracundiam me provocantes ipsi et reges eorum principes eorum et sacerdotes et prophetae eorum vir Iuda et habitatores Hierusalem
Because of all the wickedness of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
33 et verterunt ad me terga et non facies cum docerem eos diluculo et erudirem et nollent audire ut acciperent disciplinam
And they turned unto me the back, and not the face: though [my prophets] taught them, rising up early and teaching; yet they hearkened not to receive instruction.
34 et posuerunt idola sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum ut polluerent eam
But they placed their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 et aedificaverunt excelsa Baal quae sunt in valle filii Ennom ut initiarent filios suos et filias suas Moloch quod non mandavi eis nec ascendit in cor meum ut facerent abominationem hanc et in peccatum deducerent Iudam
And they built the high-places of Ba'al, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] unto Molech; which I had not commanded them, and which had not come into my mind, to practise this abomination, in order to mislead Judah to sin.
36 et nunc propter ista haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ad civitatem hanc de qua vos dicitis quod tradatur in manu regis Babylonis in gladio et in fame et in peste
But now, therefore, thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, it is given up into the hand of the king of Babylon through the sword, and through the famine, and through the pestilence:
37 ecce ego congregabo eos de universis terris ad quas eieci eos in furore meo et in ira mea et in indignatione grandi et reducam eos ad locum istum et habitare eos faciam confidenter
Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them back again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety;
38 et erunt mihi in populum et ego ero eis in Deum
And they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto them for a God:
39 et dabo eis cor unum et viam unam ut timeant me universis diebus et bene sit eis et filiis eorum post eos
And I will give them one heart, and one manner, to fear me at all times, that it may be well with them, and with their children after them;
40 et feriam eis pactum sempiternum et non desinam eis benefacere et timorem meum dabo in corde eorum ut non recedant a me
And I will make with them an everlasting covenant, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good on my part; and my fear will I place in their heart, so that they may not depart from me.
41 et laetabor super eis cum bene eis fecero et plantabo eos in terra ista in veritate in toto corde meo et in tota anima mea
And I will be glad over them to do them good; and I will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.
42 quia haec dicit Dominus sicut adduxi super populum istum omne malum hoc grande sic adducam super eos omne bonum quod ego loquor ad eos
For thus hath said the Lord, Just as I have brought upon this people all this great evil, so will I bring upon them all the good that I speak concerning them.
43 et possidebuntur agri in terra ista de qua vos dicitis quod deserta sit eo quod non remanserit homo et iumentum et data sit in manu Chaldeorum
And the field shall yet be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast, it is given up into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44 agri pecunia ementur et scribentur in libro et inprimetur signum et testis adhibebitur in terra Beniamin et in circuitu Hierusalem in civitatibus Iuda et in civitatibus montanis et in civitatibus campestribus et in civitatibus quae ad austrum sunt quia convertam captivitatem eorum ait Dominus
Men shall buy fields for money, and write it in deeds, and seal it, and certify it by witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountain, and in the cities of the lowlands, and in the cities of the south; for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the Lord.
