Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
Et accesserunt omnes principes bellatorum, et Iohanan filius Caree, et Iezonias filius Osaiae, et reliquum vulgus a parvo usque ad magnum:
2 and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our petition be presented before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant; for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do see us:
Dixeruntque ad Ieremiam prophetam: Cadat oratio nostra in conspectu tuo: et ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum tuum pro universis reliquiis istis, quia derelicti sumus pauci de pluribus, sicut oculi tui nos intuentur:
3 that the LORD your God may show us the way in which we should walk, and the thing that we should do."
Et annunciet nobis Dominus Deus tuus viam, per quam pergamus, et verbum, quod faciamus.
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, "I have heard you; look, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall happen that whatever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back from you."
Dixit autem ad eos Ieremias propheta: Audivi: ecce ego oro ad Dominum Deum vestrum secundum verba vestra. omne verbum, quodcumque responderit mihi, indicabo vobis: nec celabo vos quidquam.
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, "The LORD be a true and faithful witness among us, if we do not do according to all the word with which the LORD your God shall send you to us.
Et illi dixerunt ad Ieremiam: Sit Dominus inter nos testis veritatis et fidei, si non iuxta omne verbum, in quo miserit te Dominus Deus tuus ad nos, sic faciemus.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God."
Sive bonum est, sive malum, voci Domini Dei nostri, ad quem mittimus te, obediemus. ut bene sit nobis cum audierimus vocem Domini Dei nostri.
7 It happened after ten days, that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.
Cum autem completi essent decem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam.
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Vocavitque Iohanan filium Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum, qui erant cum eo, et universum populum a minimo usque ad magnum.
9 and said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before him:
Et dixit ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel, ad quem misistis me, ut prosternerem preces vestras in conspectu eius:
10 'If you will still live in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I grieve over the distress that I have brought on you.
Si quiescentes manseritis in terra hac, aedificabo vos, et non destruam; plantabo, et non evellam: iam enim placatus sum super malo quod feci vobis.
11 Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him, says the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Nolite timere a facie regis Babylonis, quem vos pavidi formidatis: nolite metuere eum, dicit Dominus: quia vobiscum sum ego, ut salvos vos faciam, et eruam de manu eius.
12 I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.'
Et dabo vobis misericordias, et miserebor vestri, et habitare vos faciam in terra vestra.
13 But if you say, 'We will not dwell in this land'; so that you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God,
Si autem dixeritis vos: Non habitabimus in terra ista, nec audiemus vocem Domini Dei nostri,
14 saying, 'No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell':
dicentes: Nequaquam, sed ad Terram Aegypti pergemus: ubi non videbimus bellum, et clangorem tubae non audiemus, et famem non sustinebimus: et ibi habitabimus:
15 now therefore hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'If you indeed set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to live there;
Propter hoc nunc audite verbum Domini reliquiae Iuda: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Si posueritis faciem vestram ut ingrediamini Aegyptum, et intraveritis ut ibi habitetis:
16 then it shall happen, that the sword, which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are afraid, shall follow close behind you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.
gladius, quem vos formidatis, ibi comprehendet vos in Terra Aegypti: et fames, pro qua estis soliciti, adhaerebit vobis in Aegypto, et ibi moriemini.
17 So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go into Egypt to live there: they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence; and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on them.'
Omnesque viri, qui posuerint faciem suam ut ingrediantur Aegyptum, ut habitent ibi, morientur gladio, et fame, et peste: nullus de eis remanebit, nec effugiet a facie mali, quod ego afferam super eos.
18 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'As my anger and my wrath has been poured forth on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath be poured forth on you, when you shall enter into Egypt; and you shall be an object of horror, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.'
Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Sicut conflatus est furor meus, et indignatio mea super habitatores Ierusalem: sic conflabitur indignatio mea super vos, cum ingressi fueritis Aegyptum, et eritis in iusiurandum, et in stuporem, et in maledictum, et in opprobrium: et nequaquam ultra videbitis locum istum.
19 The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah, 'Do not go into Egypt': know certainly that I have testified to you this day.
Verbum Domini super vos reliquiae Iuda: Nolite intrare Aegyptum: scientes scietis quia obtestatus sum vos hodie,
20 For you have dealt deceitfully against your own souls; for you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, 'Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do it':
quia decepistis animas vestras: vos enim misistis me ad Dominum Deum nostrum dicentes: Ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum nostrum, et iuxta omnia quaecumque dixerit tibi Dominus Deus noster, sic annuncia nobis, et faciemus.
21 and I have this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.
Et annunciavi vobis hodie, et non audistis vocem Domini Dei vestri super universis, pro quibus misit me ad vos.
22 Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go to live there."
Nunc ergo scientes scietis quia gladio, et fame, et peste moriemini in loco, ad quem voluistis intrare ut habitaretis ibi.
