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, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him unto 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 son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, —saying unto Jeremiah—Falsely, art thou speaking, Yahweh our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not enter 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 son of Neriah, is goading thee on against us, —that he may deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, or take us away captive to Babylon.

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

So Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces and all the people, hearkened not, unto the voice of Yahweh, —by remaining 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 son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned, out of all the nations whither they had been driven to sojourn 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

both the men and the women and the children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had left, with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, —and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah;

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

and entered the land of Egypt, for they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, —yea entered as far as Tahpanhes.

8 et factus est sermo Domini ad Hieremiam in Tafnis dicens

Then came the word of Yahweh 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 in thy hand great stones and hide them in the mortar that is in the brickyard which is at the entrance of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, —before the eyes 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

Then shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel—Behold me! sending and fetching Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, —and he shall spread his canopy 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 entereth, then will he smite the land of Egypt and deliver Him who is for death to death and Him who is for captivity to captivity, and Him who is 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

So will I kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them and carry them away Captive, —and shall wrap the land of Egypt about him, just as a shepherd, wrappeth about, him his garment, and shall go forth from thence in peace;

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

And he shall break in pieces the pillars of Beth-shemesh, which is in the land of Egypt, —And the houses of the gods of Egypt, shall he burn with fire.
