Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reigne of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, came this worde from the Lord, saying,
In principio regni Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, factum est verbum istud a Domino, dicens:
2 Thus saith the Lord, Sande in the court of the Lordes House, and speake vnto all the cities of Iudah, which come to worshippe in the Lords House, all the wordes that I commaund thee to speake vnto them: keepe not a worde backe,
Hæc dicit Dominus: Sta in atrio domus Domini, et loqueris ad omnes civitates Iuda, de quibus veniunt ut adorent in domo Domini, universos sermones, quos ego mandavi tibi ut loquaris ad eos: noli subtrahere verbum,
3 If so be they will hearken, and turne euery man from his euill way, that I may repent me of the plague, which I haue determined to bring vpon them, because of the wickednesse of their workes.
si forte audiant et convertantur unusquisque a via sua mala: et pœniteat me mali quod cogito facere eis propter malitiam studiorum eorum.
4 And thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord, If ye will not heare me to walke in my Lawes, which I haue set before you,
Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus: Si non audieritis me ut ambuletis in lege mea, quam dedi vobis
5 And to heare ye wordes of my seruants the Prophets, whome I sent vnto you, both rising vp earely, and sending them, and will not obey them,
ut audiatis sermones servorum meorum Prophetarum, quos ego misi ad vos de nocte consurgens, et dirigens, et non audistis:
6 Then will I make this House like Shiloh, and will make this citie a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Dabo domum istam sicut Silo, et urbem hanc dabo in maledictionem cunctis gentibus terræ.
7 So the Priestes, and the Prophets, and all the people heard Ieremiah speaking these wordes in the House of the Lord.
Et audierunt sacerdotes, et prophetæ, et omnis populus Ieremiam loquentem verba hæc in domo Domini.
8 Nowe when Ieremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speake vnto all the people, then the Priestes, and the prophets, and all the people tooke him, and saide, Thou shalt die the death.
Cumque complesset Ieremias loquens omnia, quæ præceperat ei Dominus ut loqueretur ad universum populum, apprehenderunt eum sacerdotes, et prophetæ, et omnis populus, dicens: Morte moriatur.
9 Why hast thou prophecied in the Name of the Lord, saying, This House shall be like Shiloh, and this citie shalbe desolate without an inhabitant? and all the people were gathered against Ieremiah in the House of the Lord.
Quare prophetavit in nomine Domini, dicens: Sicut Silo erit domus hæc: et urbs ista desolabitur, eo quod non sit habitator? Et congregatus est omnis populus adversus Ieremiam in domo Domini.
10 And when the princes of Iudah heard of these things, they came vp from the Kings house into the House of the Lord, and sate downe in the entrie of the new gate of the Lords House.
Et audierunt principes Iuda verba hæc: et ascenderunt de domo regis in domum Domini, et sederunt in introitu portæ domus Domini novæ.
11 Then spake the Priestes, and the prophets vnto the princes, and to all the people, saying, This man is worthie to die: for he hath prophecied against this citie, as ye haue heard with your eares.
Et locuti sunt sacerdotes et prophetæ ad principes, et ad omnem populum, dicentes: Iudicium mortis est viro huic: quia prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, sicut audistis auribus vestris.
12 Then spake Ieremiah vnto all the princes, and to al the people, saying, The Lord hath sent me to prophecie against this house and against this citie all the things that ye haue heard.
Et ait Ieremias ad omnes principes, et ad universum populum, dicens: Dominus misit me ut prophetarem ad domum istam, et ad civitatem hanc omnia verba quæ audistis.
13 Therefore nowe amende your wayes and your workes, and heare the voyce of the Lord your God, that the Lord may repent him of the plague, that he hath pronounced against you.
Nunc ergo bonas facite vias vestras, et studia vestra, et audite vocem Domini Dei vestri: et pœnitebit Dominum mali, quod locutus est adversum vos.
14 As for me, beholde, I am in your hands: do with me as ye thinke good and right.
Ego autem ecce in manibus vestris sum: facite mihi quod bonum et rectum est in oculis vestris:
15 But knowe ye for certaine, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood vpon your selues, and vpon this citie, and vpon the inhabitants thereof: for of a trueth the Lord hath sent me vnto you, to speake all these words in your eares.
Verumtamen scitote et cognoscite quod si occideritis me, sanguinem innocentem tradetis contra vosmetipsos, et contra civitatem istam, et habitatores eius. in veritate enim misit me Dominus ad vos, ut loquerer in auribus vestris omnia verba hæc.
16 Then saide the princes and all the people vnto the Priestes, and to the prophets, This man is not worthie to die: for he hath spoken vnto vs in the Name of the Lord our God.
Et dixerunt principes, et omnis populus ad sacerdotes et ad prophetas: Non est viro huic iudicium mortis: quia in nomine Domini Dei nostri locutus est ad nos.
17 Then rose vp certaine of the Elders of the lande, and spake to all the assemblie of the people, saying,
Surrexerunt ergo viri de senioribus terræ: et dixerunt ad omnem cœtum populi, loquentes:
18 Michah the Morashite prophecied in the dayes of Hezekiah king of Iudah, and spake to al the people of Iudah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Zion shall be plowed like a fielde, and Ierusalem shalbe an heape, and the mountaine of the House shalbe as the hie places of the forest.
Michæas de Morasthi fuit propheta in diebus Ezechiæ regis Iuda, et ait ad omnem populum Iuda, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Sion quasi ager arabitur: et Ierusalem in acervum lapidum erit: et mons domus in excelsa silvarum.
19 Did Hezekiah King of Iudah, and all Iudah put him to death? did he not feare ye Lord, and prayed before the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the plague, that he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great euill against our soules.
Numquid morte condemnavit eum Ezechias rex Iuda, et omnis Iuda? numquid non timuerunt Dominum, et deprecati sunt faciem Domini: et pœnituit Dominum mali, quod locutus fuerat adversum eos? Itaque nos facimus malum grande contra animas nostras.
20 And there was also a man that prophecied in the Name of the Lord, one Vriiah the sonne of Shemaiah, of Kiriath-iarem, who prophecied against this citie, and against this lande, according to all the wordes of Ieremiah.
Fuit quoque vir prophetans in nomine Domini, Urias filius Semei de Cariathiarim: et prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, et adversus terram hanc iuxta omnia verba Ieremiæ.
21 Nowe when Iehoiakim the King with all his men of power, and all the princes heard his wordes, the King sought to slay him. But when Vriiah heard it, he was afraide and fled, and went into Egypt.
Et audivit rex Ioakim, et omnes potentes, et principes eius verba hæc: et quæsivit rex interficere eum. Et audivit Urias, et timuit, fugitque et ingressus est Ægyptum.
22 Then Iehoiakim the King sent men into Egypt, euen Elnathan the sonne of Achbor, and certaine with him into Egypt.
Et misit rex Ioakim viros in Ægyptum, Elnathan filium Achobor, et viros cum eo in Ægyptum.
23 And they fet Vriiah out of Egypt, and brought him vnto Iehoiakim the King, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead bodie into the graues of the children of the people.
Et eduxerunt Uriam de Ægypto: et adduxerunt eum ad regem Ioakim, et percussit eum gladio: et proiecit cadaver eius in sepulchris vulgi ignobilis.
24 But the hande of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan was with Ieremiah that they shoulde not giue him into the hande of the people to put him to death.
Igitur manus Ahicam filii Saphan fuit cum Ieremia, ut non traderetur in manus populi, et interficerent eum.
