Jeremiæ 25

1 verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam de omni populo Iudae in anno quarto Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis

The word that hath been unto Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, — it [is] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, —

2 quae locutus est Hieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iuda et ad universos habitatores Hierusalem dicens

Which Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even unto all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:

3 a tertiodecimo anno Iosiae filii Amon regis Iuda usque ad diem hanc iste est tertius et vicesimus annus factum est verbum Domini ad me et locutus sum ad vos de nocte consurgens et loquens et non audistis

'From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and unto this day — this three and twentieth year — hath the word of Jehovah been unto me, and I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened;

4 et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas consurgens diluculo mittensque et non audistis neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis

And Jehovah hath sent unto you all His servants, the prophets, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying:

5 cum diceret revertimini unusquisque a via sua mala et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris et habitabitis in terram quam dedit Dominus vobis et patribus vestris a saeculo et usque in saeculum

'Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that Jehovah hath given to you and to your fathers from age unto age,

6 et nolite ire post deos alienos ut serviatis eis adoretisque eos neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum et non adfligam vos

And ye do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do ye provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;

7 et non audistis me dicit Dominus ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum in malum vestrum

And ye have not hearkened unto Me — an affirmation of Jehovah — so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.

8 propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum pro eo quod non audistis verba mea

'Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Because that ye have not obeyed My words,

9 ecce ego mittam et adsumam universas cognationes aquilonis ait Dominus et ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum et adducam eos super terram istam et super habitatores eius et super omnes nationes quae in circuitu illius sunt et interficiam eos et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum et in solitudines sempiternas

Lo, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north — an affirmation of Jehovah — even unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for wastes age-during.

10 perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae vocem sponsae et vocem sponsi vocem molae et lumen lucernae

And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.

11 et erit universa terra eius in solitudinem et in stuporem et servient omnes gentes istae regi Babylonis septuaginta annis

And all this land hath been for a waste, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 cumque impleti fuerint anni septuaginta visitabo super regem Babylonis et super gentem illam dicit Dominus iniquitatem eorum et super terram Chaldeorum et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas

'And it hath come to pass, at the fulness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation — an affirmation of Jehovah — their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for desolations age-during.

13 et adducam super terram illam omnia verba mea quae locutus sum contra eam omne quod scriptum est in libro isto quaecumque prophetavit Hieremias adversum omnes gentes

And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, that Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations.

14 quia servierunt eis cum essent gentes multae et reges magni et reddam eis secundum opera eorum et secundum facta manuum suarum

For laid service on them — also them — have many nations and great kings, and I have given recompence to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.

15 quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel sume calicem vini furoris huius de manu mea et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus ad quas ego mittam te

'For thus said Jehovah God of Israel unto me, Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and thou hast caused all the nations to drink it unto whom I am sending thee;

16 et bibent et turbabuntur et insanient a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter eos

And they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shewn themselves foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.

17 et accepi calicem de manu Domini et propinavi cunctis gentibus ad quas misit me Dominus

'And I take the cup out of the hand of Jehovah, and cause all the nations to drink unto whom Jehovah sent me:

18 Hierusalem et civitatibus Iudae et regibus eius et principibus eius ut darem eos in solitudinem et in stuporem in sibilum et in maledictionem sicut est dies ista

Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to waste, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day.

19 Pharaoni regi Aegypti et servis eius et principibus eius et omni populo eius

Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,

20 et universis generaliter cunctis regibus terrae Ausitidis et cunctis regibus terrae Philisthim et Ascaloni et Gazae et Accaroni et reliquiis Azoti

And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,

21 Idumeae et Moab et filiis Ammon

Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,

22 et cunctis regibus Tyri et cunctis regibus Sidonis et regibus terrae insularum qui sunt trans mare

And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Zidon, And the kings of the isle that [is] beyond the sea,

23 et Dedan et Theman et Buz et universis qui adtonsi sunt in comam

Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],

24 et cunctis regibus Arabiae et cunctis regibus occidentis qui habitant in deserto

And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,

25 et cunctis regibus Zambri et cunctis regibus Aelam et cunctis regibus Medorum

And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,

26 et cunctis regibus aquilonis de prope et de longe unicuique contra fratrem suum et omnibus regnis terrae quae super faciem eius sunt et rex Sesach bibet post eos

And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off, one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinketh after them.

27 et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel bibite et inebriamini et vomite et cadite neque surgatis a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter vos

And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts God of Israel, Drink ye, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.

28 cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu ut bibant dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum bibentes bibetis

And it hath come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of thy hand to drink, That thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do certainly drink.

29 quia ecce in civitate in qua invocatum est nomen meum ego incipio adfligere et vos quasi innocentes inmunes eritis non eritis inmunes gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatores terrae dicit Dominus exercituum

For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am beginning to do evil, And ye — ye are entirely acquitted! Ye are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.

30 et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba haec et dices ad illos Dominus de excelso rugiet et de habitaculo sancto suo dabit vocem suam rugiens rugiet super decorem suum celeuma quasi calcantium concinetur adversus omnes habitatores terrae

And thou, thou dost prophesy unto them all these words, and hast said unto them: Jehovah from the high place doth roar, And from His holy habitation giveth forth His voice, He surely roareth for His habitation, A shout as of treaders down, God answereth all the inhabitants of the land,

31 pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terrae quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus iudicatur ipse cum omni carne impios tradidit gladio dicit Dominus

Wasting hath come unto the end of the earth, For a controversy hath Jehovah with nations, He hath executed judgment for all flesh, The wicked! He hath given them to the sword, An affirmation of Jehovah.

32 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ecce adflictio egredietur de gente in gentem et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terrae

Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.

33 et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa a summo terrae usque ad summum eius non plangentur et non colligentur neque sepelientur in sterquilinium super faciem terrae iacebunt

And the pierced of Jehovah have been in that day, From the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are.

34 ululate pastores et clamate et aspergite vos cinere optimates gregis quia conpleti sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini et dissipationes vestrae et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa

Howl, ye shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, ye honourable of the flock, For full have been your days, For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And ye have fallen as a desirable vessel.

35 et peribit fuga a pastoribus et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis

And perished hath refuge from the shepherds, And escape from the honourable of the flock.

36 vox clamoris pastorum et ululatus optimatium gregis quia vastavit Dominus pascuam eorum

A voice [is] of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the honourable of the flock, For Jehovah is spoiling their pasture.

37 et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie irae furoris Domini

And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.

38 dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie irae columbae et a facie irae furoris Domini

He hath forsaken, as a young lion, His covert, Surely their land hath become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!
