Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from the LORD, saying,
In principio regni Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, factum est verbum istud a Domino, dicens:
2 Thus saith the LORD: Stand in the court of the LORD’S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; keep not back a word.
Haec 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 It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
si forte audiant et convertantur unusquisque a via sua mala: et poeniteat me mali quod cogito facere eis propter malitiam studiorum eorum.
4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus: Si non audieritis me ut ambuletis in lege mea, quam dedi vobis
5 to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send unto you, even rising up early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
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 city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Dabo domum istam sicut Silo, et urbem hanc dabo in maledictionem cunctis gentibus terrae.
7 And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
Et audierunt sacerdotes, et prophetae, et omnis populus Ieremiam loquentem verba haec in domo Domini.
8 And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
Cumque complesset Ieremias loquens omnia, quae praeceperat ei Dominus ut loqueretur ad universum populum, apprehenderunt eum sacerdotes, et prophetae, et omnis populus, dicens: Morte moriatur.
9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered unto Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
Quare prophetavit in nomine Domini, dicens: Sicut Silo erit domus haec: 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 Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house unto the house of the LORD; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’S [house].
Et audierunt principes Iuda verba haec: et ascenderunt de domo regis in domum Domini, et sederunt in introitu portae domus Domini novae.
11 Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
Et locuti sunt sacerdotes et prophetae ad principes, et ad omnem populum, dicentes: Iudicium mortis est viro huic: quia prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, sicut audistis auribus vestris.
12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have 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 quae audistis.
13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
Nunc ergo bonas facite vias vestras, et studia vestra, et audite vocem Domini Dei vestri: et poenitebit Dominum mali, quod locutus est adversum vos.
14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as is good and right in your eyes.
Ego autem ecce in manibus vestris sum: facite mihi quod bonum et rectum est in oculis vestris:
15 Only know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye shall bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
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 haec.
16 Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets: This man is not worthy of death; for he hath spoken to us 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 up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Surrexerunt ergo viri de senioribus terrae: et dixerunt ad omnem coetum populi, loquentes:
18 Micaiah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Michaeas de Morasthi fuit propheta in diebus Ezechiae regis Iuda, et ait ad omnem populum Iuda, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Sion quasi ager arabitur: et Ierusalem in acervum lapidum erit: et mons domus in excelsa silvarum.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and entreat the favour of the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls,
Numquid morte condemnavit eum Ezechias rex Iuda, et omnis Iuda? numquid non timuerunt Dominum, et deprecati sunt faciem Domini: et poenituit Dominum mali, quod locutus fuerat adversum eos? Itaque nos facimus malum grande contra animas nostras.
20 And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
Fuit quoque vir prophetans in nomine Domini, Urias filius Semei de Cariathiarim: et prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, et adversus terram hanc iuxta omnia verba Ieremiae.
21 and when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt:
Et audivit rex Ioakim, et omnes potentes, et principes eius verba haec: et quaesivit rex interficere eum. Et audivit Urias, et timuit, fugitque et ingressus est Aegyptum.
22 and Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt:
Et misit rex Ioakim viros in Aegyptum, Elnathan filium Achobor, et viros cum eo in Aegyptum.
23 and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Et eduxerunt Uriam de Aegypto: et adduxerunt eum ad regem Ioakim, et percussit eum gladio: et proiecit cadaver eius in sepulchris vulgi ignobilis.
24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand 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.
