< Jeremiæ 44 >
1 verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam ad omnes Iudaeos qui habitant in terra Aegypti habitantes in Magdolo et in Tafnis et in Memphis et in terra Fatures dicens
The word which came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, that dwelt at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the land of Pathros, saying:
2 haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel vos vidistis omne malum istud quod adduxi super Hierusalem et super omnes urbes Iuda et ecce sunt desertae hodie et non est in eis habitator
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye have seen all the evil which I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein;
3 propter malitiam quam fecerunt ut me ad iracundiam provocarent et irent et sacrificarent et colerent deos alienos quos nesciebant et illi et vos et patres vestri
because of their wickedness, which they have committed, to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense and to serve strange gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers;
4 et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas de nocte consurgens mittensque et dicens nolite facere verbum abominationis huius quam odi
and I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying: O do not this abominable thing, which I hate!
5 et non audierunt nec inclinaverunt aurem suam ut converterentur a malis suis et non sacrificarent diis alienis
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense to strange gods.
6 et conflata est indignatio mea et furor meus et succensa est in civitatibus Iuda et in plateis Hierusalem et versae sunt in solitudinem et vastitatem secundum diem hanc
Therefore hath my fury been poured forth, and mine anger, and hath burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are become a desolation and a waste at this day.
7 et nunc haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel quare vos facitis malum grande contra animas vestras ut intereat ex vobis vir et mulier parvulus et lactans de medio Iudae nec relinquatur vobis quicquam residuum
And now thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Wherefore do ye commit this great evil against your own souls, that ye may cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, so as to leave yourselves no remnant?
8 provocantes me in operibus manuum vestrarum sacrificando diis alienis in terra Aegypti in quam ingressi estis ut habitetis ibi et dispereatis et sitis in maledictionem et in obprobrium cunctis gentibus terrae
Why do ye provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense to strange gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are gone to dwell, so that ye may cut yourselves off, and that ye may be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
9 numquid obliti estis mala patrum vestrorum et mala regum Iuda et mala uxorum eius et mala vestra et mala uxorum vestrarum quae fecerunt in terra Iuda et in regionibus Hierusalem
Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
10 non sunt mundati usque ad diem hanc et non timuerunt et non ambulaverunt in lege et in praeceptis meis quae dedi coram vobis et coram patribus vestris
They have not been humbled even to this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, which I set before you, and before your fathers.
11 ideo haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego pono faciem meam in vobis in malum et disperdam omnem Iudam
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I set my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah.
12 et adsumam reliquias Iudae qui posuerunt facies suas ut ingrederentur terram Aegypti et habitarent ibi et consumentur omnes in terra Aegypti cadent in gladio et in fame consumentur a minimo usque ad maximum in gladio et in fame morientur et erunt in iusiurandum et in miraculum et in maledictionem et in obprobrium
And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed; in the land of Egypt shall they fall; by the sword and by famine shall they be consumed, from the least to the greatest; by the sword and by famine shall they die; and they shall become an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
13 et visitabo habitatores terrae Aegypti sicut visitavi super Hierusalem in gladio et in fame et in peste
For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.
14 et non erit qui effugiat et sit residuus de reliquiis Iudaeorum qui vadunt ut peregrinentur in terra Aegypti et revertantur in terram Iuda ad quam ipsi elevant animas suas ut revertantur et habitent ibi non revertentur nisi qui fugerint
And none shall escape or remain of the remnant of Judah which are gone into the land of Egypt, to sojourn there, and to return into the land of Judah, to which they have a desire to return, to dwell there; for none shall return but a few fugitives that escape.
15 responderunt autem Hieremiae omnes viri scientes quod sacrificarent uxores eorum diis alienis et universae mulieres quarum stabat multitudo grandis et omnis populus habitantium in terra Aegypti in Fatures dicens
Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to strange gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, and in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying:
16 sermonem quem locutus es ad nos in nomine Domini non audiemus ex te
“As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of Jehovah, we will not hearken to thee,
17 sed facientes faciemus omne verbum quod egreditur de ore nostro ut sacrificemus Reginae caeli et libemus ei libamina sicut fecimus nos et patres nostri reges nostri et principes nostri in urbibus Iuda et in plateis Hierusalem et saturati sumus panibus et bene nobis erat malumque non vidimus
But whatever hath gone forth from our mouth, that will we do, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of bread, and were prosperous, and saw no calamity.
18 ex eo autem quo cessavimus sacrificare Reginae caeli et libare ei libamina indigemus omnibus et gladio et fame consumpti sumus
But from the time we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings to her, we have been in want of all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.
19 quod si nos sacrificamus Reginae caeli et libamus ei libamina numquid sine viris nostris fecimus ei placentas ad colendum eam et liba libandi
And when we [[said the women]] burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink-offerings to her, did we without the knowledge of our men make cakes to worship her, and pour out drink-offerings to her?”
20 et dixit Hieremias ad omnem populum adversum viros et adversum mulieres et adversum universam plebem qui responderant ei verbum dicens
Then spake Jeremiah to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people who had given him that answer, saying:
21 numquid non sacrificium quod sacrificastis in civitatibus Iuda et in plateis Hierusalem vos et patres vestri reges vestri et principes vestri et populus terrae horum recordatus est Dominus et ascendit super cor eius
“The incense which ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not Jehovah remember it, and came it not into his mind?
22 et non poterat Dominus ultra portare propter malitiam studiorum vestrorum et propter abominationes quas fecistis et facta est terra vestra in desolationem et in stuporem et in maledictum eo quod non sit habitator sicut est dies haec
And Jehovah could no longer bear the evil of your doings, and the abominations which ye committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant at this day.
23 propterea quod sacrificaveritis idolis et peccaveritis Domino et non audieritis vocem Domini et in lege et in praeceptis et in testimoniis eius non ambulaveritis idcirco evenerunt vobis mala haec sicut est dies haec
Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his ordinances, therefore is this evil come upon you, at this day.”
24 dixit autem Hieremias ad omnem populum et ad universas mulieres audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda qui estis in terra Aegypti
And Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women, Hear the word of Jehovah, all Judah, that are in the land of Egypt!
25 haec inquit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel dicens vos et uxores vestrae locuti estis ore vestro et manibus vestris implestis dicentes faciamus vota nostra quae vovimus ut sacrificemus Reginae caeli et libemus ei libamina implestis vota vestra et opere perpetrastis ea
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Ye and your wives speak with your mouths, and fulfill with your hands; ye say, “We will keep our vows, which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings to her”; ye will surely accomplish your vows; ye will surely perform your vows.
26 ideo audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda qui habitatis in terra Aegypti ecce ego iuravi in nomine meo magno ait Dominus quia nequaquam ultra nomen meum vocabitur ex ore omnis viri iudaei dicentis vivit Dominus Deus in omni terra Aegypti
Therefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, that dwell in the land of Egypt! Behold, I swear by my great name, saith Jehovah, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, “As the Lord Jehovah liveth!”
27 ecce ego vigilabo super eos in malum et non in bonum et consumentur omnes viri Iuda qui sunt in terra Aegypti gladio et fame donec penitus consumantur
Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good; and all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there be an end of them.
28 et qui fugerint gladium revertentur de terra Aegypti in terram Iuda viri pauci et scient omnes reliquiae Iuda ingredientium terram Aegypti ut habitent ibi cuius sermo conpleatur meus an illorum
And they that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine or theirs.
29 et hoc vobis signum ait Dominus quod visitem ego super vos in loco isto ut sciatis quia vere conplebuntur sermones mei contra vos in malum
And this shall be a sign to you, saith Jehovah, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil.
30 haec dicit Dominus ecce ego tradam Pharaonem Efree regem Aegypti in manu inimicorum eius et in manu quaerentium animam illius sicut tradidi Sedeciam regem Iuda in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis inimici sui et quaerentis animam eius
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra, the king of Egypt, into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah, the king of Judah, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, his enemy, that sought his life.”
