1Et hæc sunt verba libri quem misit Jeremias propheta de Jerusalem ad reliquias seniorum transmigrationis, et ad sacerdotes, et ad prophetas, et ad omnem populum quem traduxerat Nabuchodonosor de Jerusalem in Babylonem,
Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the residue of the ancients that were carried into captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Et hoc es verbos de libro Ieremia propheta mitte quem de Ierusalem ad reliquias sene de transmigratione, et ad sacerdotes, et ad prophetas, et ad omni populo quem traduce ad Nabuchodonosor de Ierusalem in Babylone,
2postquam egressus est Jechonias rex, et domina, et eunuchi, et principes Juda et Jerusalem, et faber et inclusor, de Jerusalem,
After that Jechonias the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Juda, and of Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the engravers were departed out of Jerusalem:
Postquam egredior es Iechoniase rege, et domino, et eunuchos, et principes Iuda et Ierusalem, et fabre et inclusa, de Ierusalem,
3in manu Elasa filii Saphan, et Gamariæ filii Helciæ, quos misit Sedecias rex Juda ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in Babylonem, dicens:
By the hand of Elasa the son of Saphan, and Gamarias the son of Helcias, whom Sedecias king of Juda sent to Babylon to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, saying:
In manu Elasa de filio Saphane, et de Gamaria filio de Helcia, Sedeciase rege Iuda mitte que ad Nabuchodonosor rege de Babylone in Babylone, dicente:
4Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël, omni transmigrationi quam transtuli de Jerusalem in Babylonem:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Hoc dic Domino de exercitus, Deo Israële, omni ad transmigratione quam transfer de Ierusalem in Babylone:
5Ædificate domos, et habitate: et plantate hortos, et comedite fructum eorum.
Build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant orchards, and eat the fruit of them.
Aedifica domos, et habita: et planta hortos, et comede fructu de illos.
6Accipite uxores, et generate filios et filias: et date filiis vestris uxores, et filias vestras date viris, et pariant filios et filias: et multiplicamini ibi, et nolite esse pauci numero.
Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters: and be ye multiplied there, and be not few in number.
Accipe uxores, et genera filios et filias: et da ad filios vestro uxores, et filias vestro da ad viros, et pare filios et filias: et multiplica ibi, et ne vol es pauco numero.
7Et quærite pacem civitatis ad quam transmigrare vos feci, et orate pro ea ad Dominum, quia in pace illius erit pax vobis.
And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be carried away captives; and pray to the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall be your peace.
Et quaere pace de civitate ad quam transmigra vos fac, et ora pro illa ad Domino, quia in pace de illo es pace ad vos.
8Hæc enim dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Non vos seducant prophetæ vestri qui sunt in medio vestrum, et divini vestri, et ne attendatis ad somnia vestra quæ vos somniatis:
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Let not your prophets that are in the midst of you, and your diviners deceive you: and give no heed to your dreams which you dream:
Hoc nam dic Domino de exercitus, Deo Israële: non prophetas vestro qui es in medio vestro seduce vos, et de divino vestro, et ne attende ad somnios vestro vos somnia que:
9quia falso ipsi prophetant vobis in nomine meo, et non misi eos, dicit Dominus.
For they prophesy falsely to you in my name: and I have not sent them, saith the Lord.
Quia ad falso ipso propheta ad vos in nomine meo, et non mitte illos, Domino dic.
10Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Cum cœperint impleri in Babylone septuaginta anni, visitabo vos, et suscitabo super vos verbum meum bonum, ut reducam vos ad locum istum.
For thus saith the Lord: When the seventy years shall begin to be accomplished in Babylon, I will visit you: and I will perform my good word in your favour, to bring you again to this place.
Quia Domino dic hoc: cum incipe imple in Babylone septuaginta de anno, visita vos, et suscita super vos verbo meo bono, ut reduce vos ad loco isto.
11Ego enim scio cogitationes quas ego cogito super vos, ait Dominus, cogitationes pacis et non afflictionis, ut dem vobis finem et patientiam.
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of affliction, to give you an end and patience.
Me nam sci cogitationes me cogita que super vos, Domino dic, cogitationes de pace et non de afflictione, ut da ad vos fine et patientia.
12Et invocabitis me, et ibitis: et orabitis me, et ego exaudiam vos.
And you shall call upon me, and you shall go. and you shall pray to me, and I will hear you.
Et invoca me, et i: et ora me, et me exaudi vos.
13Quæretis me, et invenietis, cum quæsieritis me in toto corde vestro.
You shall seek me, and shall find me: when you shall seek me with all your heart.
Quaere me, et inveni, cum quaere me in toto corde vestro.
14Et inveniar a vobis, ait Dominus: et reducam captivitatem vestram, et congregabo vos de universis gentibus et de cunctis locis ad quæ expuli vos, dicit Dominus, et reverti vos faciam de loco ad quem transmigrare vos feci.
And I will be found by you, saith the Lord: and I will bring back your captivity, and I will gather you out of all nations, and from all the places to which I have driven you out, saith the Lord: and I will bring you back from the place to which I caused you to be carried away captive.
Et inveni ab vos, Domino dic: et reduce captivitate vestro, et congrega vos de universa gentes et de cuncta locos ad que expelle vos, Domino dic, et reverte vos fac de loco ad quem transmigra vos fac.
15Quia dixistis: Suscitavit nobis Dominus prophetas in Babylone:
Because you have said: The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon:
Quia dic: Domino ad nos suscita prophetas in Babylone:
16quia hæc dicit Dominus ad regem qui sedet super solium David, et ad omnem populum habitatorem urbis hujus, ad fratres vestros qui non sunt egressi vobiscum in transmigrationem:
For thus saith the Lord to the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and to all the people that dwell in this city, to your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity.
Quia Domino dic hoc ad rege qui sede super solio Davide, et ad omni populo habitatore de urbe de hoc, ad fratres vestro qui non es egredior vobisca in transmigratione:
17hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce mittam in eos gladium, et famem, et pestem: et ponam eos quasi ficus malas, quæ comedi non possunt eo quod pessimæ sint:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will send upon them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and I will make them like bad figs that cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.
Domino de exercitus dic hoc: ecce mitte in illos gladio, et fame, et peste: et pone illos quasi ficus malo, que ad comedo non pote eo quod malo es:
18et persequar eos in gladio, et in fame, et in pestilentia: et dabo eos in vexationem universis regnis terræ: in maledictionem, et in stuporem, et in sibilum, et in opprobrium cunctis gentibus ad quas ego ejeci eos,
And I will persecute them with the sword, and with famine, and with the pestilence: and I will give them up unto affliction to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a curse, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a reproach to all the nations to which I have driven them out:
Et perseque illos in gladio, et in fame, et in pestilentia: et da illos in vexatione universa regnos de terra: in maledictione, et in stupore, et in sibilo, et in opprobrio cuncta ad gentes ad que me eicie illos,
19eo quod non audierint verba mea, dicit Dominus, quæ misit ad eos per servos meos prophetas, de nocte consurgens et mittens: et non audistis, dicit Dominus.
Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord: which I sent to them by my servants the prophets, rising by night, and sending: and you have not heard, saith the Lord.
Eo quod non audi verbos meo, dic Domino, que mitte ad illos per servos meo prophetas, de nocte consurge et mitte: et non audi, Domino dic.
20Vos ergo audite verbum Domini, omnis transmigratio quam emisi de Jerusalem in Babylonem.
Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent out from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Vos ergo audi verbo de Domino, omni transmigratione quam emitte de Ierusalem in Babylone.
21Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël, ad Achab filium Coliæ, et ad Sedeciam filium Maasiæ, qui prophetant vobis in nomine meo mendaciter: Ecce ego tradam eos in manus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis, et percutiet eos in oculis vestris:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to Achab the son of Colias, and to Sedecias the son of Maasias, who prophesy unto you in my name falsely: Behold I will deliver them up into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon: and he shall kill them before your eyes.
Hoc dic Domino de exercitus, Deo Israële, ad Achabe filio de Colia, et ad Sedecia filio de Maasia, qui propheta ad vos in nomine meo mendaciter: ecce me trade illos in manus ad Nabuchodonosor de rege de Babylone, et percute illos in oculos vestro:
22et assumetur ex eis maledictio omni transmigrationi Juda quæ est in Babylone, dicentium: Ponat te Dominus sicut Sedeciam et sicut Achab, quos frixit rex Babylonis in igne:
And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Juda, that are in Babylon, saying: The Lord make thee like Sedecias, and like Achab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire:
Et assume ex illos maledictione omni ad transmigratione Iuda que es in Babylone, dic: Domino pone te sicut Sedecia et sicut Achabe, que rege de Babylone frige in igni:
23pro eo quod fecerint stultitiam in Israël, et mœchati sunt in uxores amicorum suorum, et locuti sunt verbum in nomine meo mendaciter, quod non mandavi eis. Ego sum judex et testis, dicit Dominus.
Because they have acted folly in Israel, and have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I commanded them not: I am the judge and the witness, saith the Lord.
Pro eo quod fac stultitia in Israële, et moechor es in uxores de amicos suo, et loque es verbo in nomine meo mendaciter, quod non manda ad illos. Me es iudice et teste, Domino dic.
24Et ad Semeiam Nehelamiten dices:
And to Semeias the Nehelamite thou shalt say:
Et ad Semeia Nehelamitene dic:
25Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Pro eo quod misisti in nomine tuo libros ad omnem populum qui est in Jerusalem, et ad Sophoniam filium Maasiæ sacerdotem, et ad universos sacerdotes, dicens:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because thou hast sent letters in thy name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest, and to all the priests, saying:
Hoc dic Domino de exercitus, Deo Israële: pro eo quod mitte in nomine tuo libros ad omni populo qui es in Ierusalem, et ad Sophonia filio de Maasia sacerdote, et ad universa sacerdotes, dicente:
26Dominus dedit te sacerdotem pro Jojade sacerdote, ut sis dux in domo Domini, super omnem virum arreptitium et prophetantem, ut mittas eum in nervum et in carcerem:
The Lord hath made thee priest instead of Joiada the priest, that thou shouldst be ruler in the house of the Lord, over every man that raveth and prophesieth, to put him in the stocks, and into prison.
Domino da te sacerdote pro Ioiade sacerdote, ut es duce in domo de Domino, super omni viro arreptitio et propheta, ut mitte illo in nervo et in carcere:
27et nunc quare non increpasti Jeremiam Anathothiten, qui prophetat vobis?
And now why hast thou not rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite, who prophesieth to you?
Et nunc quare non increpa Ieremia Anathothitene, qui propheta ad vos?
28Quia super hoc misit in Babylonem ad nos, dicens: Longum est: ædificate domos, et habitate: et plantate hortos, et comedite fructus eorum.
For he hath also sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time: build ye houses, and dwell in them: and plant gardens, and eat the fruits of them.
Quia super hoc mitte in Babylone ad nos, dicente: longo es: aedifica domos, et habita: et planta hortos, et comede fructus de illos.
29Legit ergo Sophonias sacerdos librum istum in auribus Jeremiæ prophetæ.
So Sophonias the priest read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.
Sophoniase ergo sacerdote lege libro isto in aures de Ieremia de propheta.
30Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
Et facto es verbo de Domino ad Ieremia, dicente:
31Mitte ad omnem transmigrationem, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus ad Semeiam Nehelamiten: Pro eo quod prophetavit vobis Semeias, et ego non misi eum, et fecit vos confidere in mendacio,
Send to all them of the captivity, saying: Thus saith the Lord to Semeias the Nehelamite: Because Semeias hath prophesied to you, and I sent him not: and hath caused you to trust in a lie:
Mitte ad omni transmigratione, dicente: Domino dic hoc ad Semeia Nehelamitene: pro eo Semeiases propheta ad vos quod, et me non mitte illo, et fac vos confide in mendacio,
32idcirco hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego visitabo super Semeiam Nehelamiten, et super semen ejus: non erit ei vir sedens in medio populi hujus, et non videbit bonum quod ego faciam populo meo, ait Dominus, quia prævaricationem locutus est adversus Dominum.
Therefore thus saith the Lord: behold I will visit upon Semeias the Nehelamite, and upon his seed: he shall not have a man to sit in the midst of this people, and he shall not see the good that I will do to my people, saith the Lord: because he hath spoken treason against the Lord.
Ergo Domino dic hoc: ecce me visita super Semeia Nehelamitene, et super semine de illo: non viro ad illo sedente in medio de populo de hoc es, et non vide bono me fac quod ad populo meo, Domino dic, quia praevaricatione locuto es contra Domino.
