Jeremiæ 43

1 Factum est autem, cum complesset Ieremias loquens ad populum universos sermones Domini Dei eorum, pro quibus miserat eum Dominus Deus eorum ad illos, omnia verba haec:

It happened that, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with 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 Ieremiam: Mendacium tu loqueris: non misit te Dominus Deus noster, dicens: Ne ingrediamini Aegyptum ut habitetis illuc.

then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, "You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, 'You shall not go into Egypt to live there';

3 Sed Baruch filius Neriae incitat te adversum nos, ut tradat nos in manus Chaldaeorum, ut interficiat nos, et traduci faciat in Babylonem.

but Baruch the son of Neriah sets you on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon."

4 Et non audivit Iohanan filius Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, et universus populus vocem Domini ut manerent in Terra Iuda.

So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not obey 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, who were returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live 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 Ieremiam prophetam, et Baruch filium Neriae.

the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan 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 obedierunt voci Domini: et venerunt usque ad Taphnis.

and they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not obey the voice of the LORD: and they came to Tahpanhes.

8 Et factus est sermo Domini ad Ieremiam in Taphnis, dicens:

Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 Sume lapides grandes in manu tua, et abscondes eos in crypta, quae est sub muro latericio in porta domus Pharaonis in Taphnis, cernentibus viris Iudaeis:

"Take great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, 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 Israel: Ecce ego mittam, et assumam Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum: et ponam thronum eius super lapides istos, quos abscondi, et statuet solium suum super eos.

and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

11 Veniensque percutiet Terram Aegypti: quos in mortem, in mortem: et quos in captivitatem, in captivitatem: et quos in gladium, in gladium.

He shall come, and shall strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death shall be put 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 comburet ea, et captivos ducet illos: et amicietur Terra Aegypti, sicut amicitur pastor pallio suo: et egredietur inde in pace.

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

13 Et conteret statuas domus Solis, quae sunt in Terra Aegypti: et delubra deorum Aegypti comburet igne.

He shall also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire."'"
