Jeremiah 1
1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkijah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Verba Ieremiæ filii Helciæ, de sacerdotibus, qui fuerunt in Anathoth, in Terra Beniamin.
2 to whom the word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign;
Quod factum est verbum Domini ad eum in diebus Iosiæ filii Amon regis Iuda, in tertiodecimo anno regni eius.
3 it came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive, in the fifth month.
Et factum est in diebus Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, usque ad consummationem undecimi anni Sedeciæ filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, usque ad transmigrationem Ierusalem, in mense quinto.
4 And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I hallowed thee, I appointed thee a prophet unto the nations.
Priusquam te formarem in utero, novi te: et antequam exires de vulva, sanctificavi te, et prophetam in Gentibus dedi te.
6 And I said, Alas, Lord Jehovah! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child.
Et dixi, A a a, Domine Deus: ecce nescio loqui, quia puer ego sum.
7 But Jehovah said unto me, Say not, I am a child; for thou shalt go to whomsoever I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Noli dicere: Puer sum: quoniam ad omnia, quæ mittam te, ibis: et universa, quæcumque mandavero tibi, loqueris.
8 Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Jehovah.
Ne timeas a facie eorum: quia tecum ego sum ut eruam te, dicit Dominus.
9 And Jehovah put forth his hand and touched my mouth; and Jehovah said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Et misit Dominus manum suam, et tetigit os meum: et dixit Dominus ad me: Ecce dedi verba mea in ore tuo:
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, and to overthrow, to build and to plant.
ecce constitui te hodie super Gentes, et super regna ut evellas, et destruas, et disperdas, et dissipes, et ædifices, et plantes.
11 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond-tree.
Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: Quid tu vides Ieremia? Et dixi: Virgam vigilantem ego video.
12 And Jehovah said unto me, Thou hast well seen; for I am watchful over my word to perform it.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Bene vidisti, quia vigilabo ego super verbo meo ut faciam illud.
13 And the word of Jehovah came to me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething-pot, and its face is from the north.
Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad me, dicens: Quid tu vides? Et dixi: Ollam succensam ego video, et faciem eius a facie Aquilonis.
14 And Jehovah said unto me, Out of the north shall evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Et dixit Dominus ad me: Ab Aquilone pandetur malum super omnes habitatores terræ.
15 For behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith Jehovah, and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah:
quia ecce ego convocabo omnes cognationes regnorum Aquilonis, ait Dominus: et venient et ponent unusquisque solium suum in introitu portarum Ierusalem, et super omnes muros eius in circuitu, et super universas urbes Iuda.
16 and I will pronounce my judgments against them for all their wickedness, in that they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Et loquar iudicia mea cum eis super omnem malitiam eorum, qui dereliquerunt me, et libaverunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt opus manuum suarum.
17 Thou, therefore, gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I shall command thee: be not dismayed at them, lest I cause thee to be dismayed before them.
Tu ergo accinge lumbos tuos, et surge, et loquere ad eos omnia quæ ego præcipio tibi. Ne formides a facie eorum: nec enim timere te faciam vultum eorum.
18 And I, behold, I appoint thee this day as a strong city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls, against the whole land; against the kings of Judah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the people of the land.
Ego quippe dedi te hodie in civitatem munitam, et in columnam ferream, et in murum æreum, super omnem terram, regibus Iuda, principibus eius, et sacerdotibus, et populo terræ.
19 And they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee.
Et bellabunt adversum te, et non prævalebunt: quia ego tecum sum, ait Dominus, ut liberem te.
