Prophetia Jeremiae

Hæc dicit Dominus: Descende in domum regis Juda, et loqueris ibi verbum hoc,

Thus saith the Lord: Go down to the house of the king of Juda, and there thou shalt speak this word,

Domino dic hoc: descende in domo de rege Iuda, et loque ibi verbo hoc,

et dices: Audi verbum Domini, rex Juda, qui sedes super solium David: tu et servi tui, et populus tuus, qui ingredimini per portas istas.

And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, king of Juda, that sittest upon the throne of David: thou and thy servants, and thy people, who enter in by these gates.

Et dic: audi verbo de Domino, rege Iuda, qui sede super solio Davide: te et servo tuo, et populo tuo, qui ingredior per portas isto.

Hæc dicit Dominus: Facite judicium et justitiam, et liberate vi oppressum de manu calumniatoris: et advenam, et pupillum, et viduam nolite contristare, neque opprimatis inique, et sanguinem innocentem ne effundatis in loco isto.

Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgment and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not innocent blood in this place.

Domino dic hoc: fac iudicio et iustitia, et libera vi opprime de manu de calumniatore: et advena, et pupillo, et vidua ne vol contrista, neque opprime inique, et sanguine innocente ne effunde in loco isto.

Si enim facientes feceritis verbum istud, ingredientur per portas domus hujus reges sedentes de genere David super thronum ejus, et ascendentes currus et equos, ipsi, et servi, et populus eorum.

For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people.

Si nam fac fac verbo isto, ingredior per portas de domo de hoc reges sede de genere Davide super throno de illo, et ascende currus et equos, ipso, et servos, et populo de illos.

Quod si non audieritis verba hæc: in memetipso juravi, dicit Dominus, quia in solitudinem erit domus hæc.

But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.

Quod si non audi verbos hoc: in memetipso iura, Domino dic, quia in solitudine domo hoc es.

Quia hæc dicit Dominus super domum regis Juda: Galaad, tu mihi caput Libani, si non posuero te solitudinem, urbes inhabitabiles!

For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.

Quia Domino dic hoc super domo de rege Iuda: galaade, te ad me capite de Libano, si non posuera te solitudine, urbes inhabitabili!

Et sanctificabo super te, interficientem virum et arma ejus: et succident electas cedros tuas, et præcipitabunt in ignem.

And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire.

Et sanctifica super te, interfice viro et armas de illo: et succide elige cedros tuo, et praecipita in igni.

Et pertransibunt gentes multæ per civitatem hanc, et dicet unusquisque proximo suo: Quare fecit Dominus sic civitati huic grandi?

And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbour: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?

Et gentes multo pertransi per civitate hoc, et dic et unusquis ad proximo suo: quare Domino fac sic ad civitate ad hoc grandi?

Et respondebunt: Eo quod dereliquerint pactum Domini Dei sui, et adoraverint deos alienos, et servierint eis.

And they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and have adored strange gods, and served them.

Et responde: eo quod derelinque pacto de Domino de Deo suo, et adora deos aliena, et servi ad illos.

Nolite flere mortuum, neque lugeatis super eum fletu: plangite eum qui egreditur, quia non revertetur ultra, nec videbit terram nativitatis suæ.

Weep not for him that is dead, nor bemoan him with your tears: lament him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.

Ne vol fle more, neque luge super illo fletu: plange illo qui egredior, quia non reverte ultra, nec vide terra de nativitate suo.

Quia hæc dicit Dominus ad Sellum, filium Josiæ, regem Juda, qui regnavit pro Josia patre suo, qui egressus est de loco isto: Non revertetur huc amplius,

For thus saith the Lord to Sellum the son of Josias the king of Juda, who reigned instead of his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall return hither no more:

Quia Domino dic hoc ad Sello, filio de Iosiase, rege Iuda, qui regna pro Iosia patre suo, qui egredior es de loco isto: non reverte huc ample,

sed in loco ad quem transtuli eum, ibi morietur, et terram istam non videbit amplius.

But in the place, to which I have removed him, there shall he die, and he shall not see this land any more.

Sed in loco ad quem transfer illo, ibi more, et terra isto non vide ample.

Væ qui ædificat domum suam in injustitia, et cœnacula sua non in judicio: amicum suum opprimet frustra, et mercedem ejus non reddet ei:

Woe to him that buildeth up his house by injustice, and his chambers not in judgment: that will oppress his friend without cause, and will not pay him his wages.

Vae qui aedifica domo suo in iniustitia, et coenaculos suo non in iudicio: amico suo opprime frustra, et mercede de illo non redde ad illo:

qui dicit: Ædificabo mihi domum latam, et cœnacula spatiosa: qui aperit sibi fenestras et facit laquearia cedrina, pingitque sinopide.

Who saith: I will build me a wide house, and large chambers: who openeth to himself windows, and maketh roofs of cedar, and painteth them with vermilion.

Qui dic: aedifica ad me domo latere, et coenaculos spatioso: qui aperi ad se fenestras et fac laqvearios cedrinas, et pinge sinopide.

Numquid regnabis quoniam confers te cedro? pater tuus numquid non comedit et bibit, et fecit judicium et justitiam tunc cum bene erat ei?

Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?

Numquid regna quia confer te cedro? Patre tuo numquid non comede et bibe, et fac iudicio et iustitia tunc cum bene es ad illo?

Judicavit causam pauperis et egeni in bonum suum: numquid non ideo quia cognovit me? dicit Dominus.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?

Iudica causa de paupere et de egeno in bono suo: numquid non ideo quia cognosce me? Domino dic.

Tui vero oculi et cor ad avaritiam, et ad sanguinem innocentem fundendum, et ad calumniam, et ad cursum mali operis.

But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.

Tuo vero oculos et corde ad avaritia, et ad sanguine innocente funde, et ad calumnia, et ad cursu malo de opere.

Propterea hæc dicit Dominus ad Joakim, filium Josiæ, regem Juda: Non plangent eum: Væ frater! et væ soror! non concrepabunt ei: Væ domine! et væ inclyte!

Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda: They shall not mourn for him, Alas, my brother, and, Alas, sister: they shall not lament for him, Alas, my lord, or, Alas, the noble one.

Propter hoc Domino dic hoc ad Ioakime, filio de Iosiase, rege Iuda: non plange illo: vae fratre! Et vae sorore! Non concrepa ad illo: vae domino! Et vae inclyte!

Sepultura asini sepelietur, putrefactus et projectus extra portas Jerusalem.

He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, rotten and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem.

Sepultura de asino sepeli, putrefacie et proicie extra portas Ierusalem.

Ascende Libanum, et clama, et in Basan da vocem tuam: et clama ad transeuntes, quia contriti sunt omnes amatores tui.

Go up to Libanus, and cry: and lift up thy voice in Basan, and cry to them that pass by, for all thy lovers are destroyed.

Ascende Libano, et clama, et in Basan da voce tuo: et clama ad transi, quia contrita es omni amatores tuo.

Locutus sum ad te in abundantia tua, et dixisti: Non audiam: hæc est via tua ab adolescentia tua, quia non audisti vocem meam.

I spoke to thee in thy prosperity: and thou saidst: I will not hear: this hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice.

Locuto es ad te in abundantia tuo, et dic: non audi: hoc es via tuo ab adolescentia tuo, quia non audi voce meo.

Omnes pastores tuos pascet ventus, et amatores tui in captivitatem ibunt: et tunc confunderis, et erubesces ab omni malitia tua.

The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity and then shalt thou be confounded, and ashamed of all thy wickedness.

Vento pasce omni pastores tuo, et amatores tuo in captivitate i: et tunc confunde, et erubesce ab omni malitia tuo.

Quæ sedes in Libano, et nidificas in cedris, quomodo congemuisti cum venissent tibi dolores, quasi dolores parturientis?

Thou that sittest in Libanus, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how hast thou mourned when sorrows came upon thee, as the pains of a woman in labour?

Que sede in Libano, et nidifica in cedras, quomodo congeme cum veni ad te dolores, quasi dolores parturie?

Vivo ego, dicit Dominus, quia si fuerit Jechonias filius Joakim regis Juda annulus in manu dextera mea, inde evellam eum,

As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda were a ring on my right hand, I would pluck him thence.

Vive me, Domino dic, quia si es Iechoniase filio Ioakime de rege Iuda annulo in manu dextro meo, inde evelle illo,

et dabo te in manu quærentium animam tuam, et in manu quorum tu formidas faciem, et in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis, et in manu Chaldæorum:

And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, and into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.

Et da te in manu quaere anima tuo, et in manu de que te formido facie, et in manu Nabuchodonosor de rege de Babylone, et in manu de Chaldaeis:

et mittam te, et matrem tuam quæ genuit te, in terram alienam, in qua nati non estis, ibique moriemini.

And I will send thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a strange country, in which you were not born, and there you shall die:

Et mitte te, et matre tuo que gene te, in terra aliena, in quo nato non es, et ibi more.

Et in terram ad quam ipsi levant animam suam ut revertantur illuc, non revertentur.

And they shall not return into the land, whereunto they lift up their mind to return thither.

Et in terra ad quam ipso leva anima suo ut reverte illuc, non reverte.

Numquid vas fictile atque contritum vir iste Jechonias? numquid vas absque omni voluptate? quare abjecti sunt ipse et semen ejus, et projecti in terram quam ignoraverunt?

Is this man Jechonias an earthen and a broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?

Numquid vase fictili et contrito viro isto Iechoniase? Numquid vase absque omni voluptate? Quare abice es ipso et semine de illo, et proicie in terra quam ignora?

Terra, terra, terra, audi sermonem Domini.

O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.

Terra, terra, terra, audi sermone de Domino.

Hæc dicit Dominus: Scribe virum istum sterilem, virum qui in diebus suis non prosperabitur: nec enim erit de semine ejus vir qui sedeat super solium David, et potestatem habeat ultra in Juda.

Thus saith the Lord: Write this man barren, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for there shall not be a man of his seed that shall sit upon the throne of David, and have power any more in Juda.

Domino dic hoc: scribe viro isto sterili, viro qui in dies suo non prospera: nec nam es de semine de illo viro qui sede super solio Davide, et potestate que habe ultra in Iuda.
