Jeremiæ 43

1 factum est autem cum conplesset Hieremias loquens ad populum universos sermones Domini Dei eorum pro quibus miserat eum Dominus Deus eorum ad illos omnia verba haec

AND it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

2 dixit Azarias filius Osaiae et Iohanan filius Caree et omnes viri superbi dicentes ad Hieremiam mendacium tu loqueris non misit te Dominus Deus noster dicens ne ingrediamini Aegyptum ut habitetis illuc

Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:

3 sed Baruch filius Neriae incitat te adversum nos ut tradat nos in manibus Chaldeorum ut interficiat nos et transduci faciat in Babylonem

But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.

4 et non audivit Iohanan filius Caree et omnes principes bellatorum et universus populus vocem Domini ut maneret in terra Iuda

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, 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

But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell 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 Hieremiam prophetam et Baruch filium Neriae

Even men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

7 et ingressi sunt terram Aegypti quia non oboedierunt voci Domini et venerunt usque ad Tafnas

So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

8 et factus est sermo Domini ad Hieremiam in Tafnis dicens

Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 sume in manu tua lapides grandes et absconde eos in crypta quae est sub muro latericio in porta domus Pharaonis in Tafnis cernentibus viris iudaeis

Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

10 et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego mittam et adsumam Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum et ponam thronum eius super lapides istos quos abscondi et statuet solium suum super eos

And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

11 veniensque percutiet terram Aegypti quos in morte in morte et quos in captivitate in captivitate et quos in gladio in gladio

And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.

12 et succendet ignem in delubris deorum Aegypti et conburet ea et captivos ducet illos et amicietur terra Aegypti sicut amicitur pastor pallio suo et egredietur inde in pace

And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

13 et conteret statuas domus Solis quae sunt in terra Aegypti et delubra deorum Aegypti conburet igni

He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
