Jeremiæ 43

1 factum est autem cum conplesset Hieremias loquens ad populum universos sermones Domini Dei eorum pro quibus miserat eum Dominus Deus eorum ad illos omnia verba haec

And it cometh to pass, when Jeremiah doth finish to speak unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, with which Jehovah their God hath sent him unto them — all these words —

2 dixit Azarias filius Osaiae et Iohanan filius Caree et omnes viri superbi dicentes ad Hieremiam mendacium tu loqueris non misit te Dominus Deus noster dicens ne ingrediamini Aegyptum ut habitetis illuc

that Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, speak unto Jeremiah, saying, 'Falsehood thou art speaking; Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Do not enter Egypt to sojourn there;

3 sed Baruch filius Neriae incitat te adversum nos ut tradat nos in manibus Chaldeorum ut interficiat nos et transduci faciat in Babylonem

for Baruch son of Neriah is moving thee against us, in order to give us up into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, and to remove us to Babylon.'

4 et non audivit Iohanan filius Caree et omnes principes bellatorum et universus populus vocem Domini ut maneret in terra Iuda

And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, and all the people, have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, 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

and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, take all the remnant of Judah who have turned from all the nations whither they were driven to sojourn 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 Hieremiam prophetam et Baruch filium Neriae

the men, and the women, and the infant, and the daughters of the king, and every person that Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah,

7 et ingressi sunt terram Aegypti quia non oboedierunt voci Domini et venerunt usque ad Tafnas

and they enter the land of Egypt, for they have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and they enter unto Tahpanhes.

8 et factus est sermo Domini ad Hieremiam in Tafnis dicens

And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 sume in manu tua lapides grandes et absconde eos in crypta quae est sub muro latericio in porta domus Pharaonis in Tafnis cernentibus viris iudaeis

'Take in thy hand great stones, and thou hast hidden them, in the clay, in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah,

10 et dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego mittam et adsumam Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum et ponam thronum eius super lapides istos quos abscondi et statuet solium suum super eos

and thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: 'Lo, I am sending, and I have taken Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his throne above these stones that I have hid, and he hath stretched out his pavilion over them,

11 veniensque percutiet terram Aegypti quos in morte in morte et quos in captivitate in captivitate et quos in gladio in gladio

and he hath come, and smitten the land of Egypt — those who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to the sword.

12 et succendet ignem in delubris deorum Aegypti et conburet ea et captivos ducet illos et amicietur terra Aegypti sicut amicitur pastor pallio suo et egredietur inde in pace

And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and it hath burned them, and he hath taken them captive, and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as cover himself doth the shepherd with his garment, and he hath gone forth thence in peace;

13 et conteret statuas domus Solis quae sunt in terra Aegypti et delubra deorum Aegypti conburet igni

and he hath broken the standing pillars of the house of the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and the houses of the gods of Egypt he doth burn with fire.'
