Jeremiæ 7
1 verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 sta in porta domus Domini et praedica ibi verbum istud et dic audite verbum Domini omnis Iuda qui ingredimini per portas has ut adoretis Dominum
Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before Jehovah:
3 haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel bonas facite vias vestras et studia vestra et habitabo vobiscum in loco isto
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
4 nolite confidere in verbis mendacii dicentes templum Domini templum Domini templum Domini est
Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah [are] they!
5 quoniam si bene direxeritis vias vestras et studia vestra si feceritis iudicium inter virum et proximum eius
For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour,
6 advenae et pupillo et viduae non feceritis calumniam nec sanguinem innocentem effuderitis in loco hoc et post deos alienos non ambulaveritis in malum vobismet ipsis
Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves,
7 habitabo vobiscum in loco isto in terra quam dedi patribus vestris a saeculo usque in saeculum
Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age.
8 ecce vos confiditis vobis in sermonibus mendacii qui non proderunt vobis
Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
9 furari occidere adulterare iurare mendaciter libare Baali et ire post deos alienos quos ignoratis
Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew not.
10 et venistis et stetistis coram me in domo hac in qua invocatum est nomen meum et dixistis liberati sumus eo quod fecerimus omnes abominationes istas
And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, 'We have been delivered,' In order to do all these abominations.
11 ergo spelunca latronum facta est domus ista in qua invocatum est nomen meum in oculis vestris ego ego sum ego vidi dicit Dominus
A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.
12 ite ad locum meum in Silo ubi habitavit nomen meum a principio et videte quae fecerim ei propter malitiam populi mei Israhel
But go ye, I pray you, Unto My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedness of My people Israel.
13 et nunc quia fecistis omnia opera haec dicit Dominus et locutus sum ad vos mane consurgens et loquens et non audistis et vocavi vos et non respondistis
And now, because of your doing all these works, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye have not answered,
14 faciam domui huic in qua invocatum est nomen meum et in qua vos habetis fiduciam et loco quem dedi vobis et patribus vestris sicut feci Silo
I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 et proiciam vos a facie mea sicut proieci omnes fratres vestros universum semen Ephraim
And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim.
16 tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc nec adsumas pro eis laudem et orationem et non obsistas mihi quia non exaudiam te
And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.
17 nonne vides quid isti faciant in civitatibus Iuda et in plateis Hierusalem
Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
18 filii colligunt ligna et patres succendunt ignem et mulieres conspergunt adipem ut faciant placentas Reginae caeli et libent diis alienis et me ad iracundiam provocent
The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
19 numquid me ad iracundiam provocant dicit Dominus nonne semet ipsos in confusionem vultus sui
Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?
20 ideo haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce furor meus et indignatio mea conflatur super locum istum super viros et super iumenta et super lignum regionis et super fruges terrae et succendetur et non extinguetur
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath burned, and it is not quenched.
21 haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel holocaustomata vestra addite victimis vestris et comedite carnes
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye flesh.
22 quia non sum locutus cum patribus vestris et non praecepi eis in die qua eduxi eos de terra Aegypti de verbo holocaustomatum et victimarum
For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
23 sed hoc verbum praecepi eis dicens audite vocem meam et ero vobis Deus et vos eritis mihi populus et ambulate in omni via quam mandavi vobis ut bene sit vobis
But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye — ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
24 et non audierunt nec inclinaverunt aurem suam sed abierunt in voluntatibus et pravitate cordis sui mali factique sunt retrorsum et non in ante
And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.
25 a die qua egressi sunt patres eorum de terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas per diem consurgens diluculo et mittens
Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the prophets, Daily rising early and sending,
26 et non audierunt me nec inclinaverunt aurem suam sed induraverunt cervicem et peius operati sunt quam patres eorum
And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
27 et loqueris ad eos omnia verba haec et non audient te et vocabis eos et non respondebunt tibi
And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they do not answer thee.
28 et dices ad eos haec est gens quae non audivit vocem Domini Dei sui nec recepit disciplinam periit fides et ablata est de ore eorum
And thou hast said unto them: This [is] the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from their mouth.
29 tonde capillum tuum et proice et sume in directum planctum quia proiecit Dominus et reliquit generationem furoris sui
Cut off thy crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up on high places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth the generation of His wrath.
30 quia fecerunt filii Iuda malum in oculis meis dicit Dominus posuerunt offendicula sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum ut polluerent eam
For the sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house On which My name is called — to defile it,
31 et aedificaverunt excelsa Thofeth qui est in valle filii Ennom ut incenderent filios suos et filias suas igni quae non praecepi nec cogitavi in corde meo
And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
32 ideo ecce dies venient dicit Dominus et non dicetur amplius Thofeth et vallis filii Ennom sed vallis Interfectionis et sepelient in Thofeth eo quod non sit locus
Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more, 'The Tophet,' And 'Valley of the son of Hinnom,' But 'Valley of the slaughter,' And they have buried in Tophet — without place.
33 et erit morticinum populi huius in cibum volucribus caeli et bestiis terrae et non erit qui abigat
And the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
34 et quiescere faciam de urbibus Iuda et de plateis Hierusalem vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae vocem sponsi et vocem sponsae in desolatione enim erit terra
And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land doth become a desolation!
