Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Et regnavit rex Sedechias filius Iosiae pro Iechonia filio Ioakim: quem constituit regem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis in Terra Iuda:
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, listened to the LORD’s words, which he spoke by the prophet Jeremiah.
Et non obedivit ipse, et servi eius, et populus terrae verbis Domini, quae locutus est in manu Ieremiae prophetae.
3 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Pray now to the LORD our God for us.”
Et misit rex Sedechias Iuchal filium Selemiae, et Sophoniam filium Maasiae sacerdotem ad Ieremiam prophetam, dicens: Ora pro nobis Dominum Deum nostrum.
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out amongst the people, for they had not put him into prison.
Ieremias autem libere ambulabat in medio populi: non enim miserant eum in custodiam carceris.
5 Pharaoh’s army had come out of Egypt; and when the Kasdim who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they withdrew from Jerusalem.
Igitur exercitus Pharaonis egressus est de Aegypto: et audientes Chaldaei, qui obsidebant Ierusalem, huiuscemodi nuncium, recesserunt ab Ierusalem.
6 Then the LORD’s word came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam, dicens:
7 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to enquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.
Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Sic dicetis regi Iuda, qui misit vos ad me interrogandum: Ecce exercitus Pharaonis, qui egressus est vobis in auxilium, revertetur in terram suam in Aegyptum.
8 The Kasdim will come again, and fight against this city. They will take it and burn it with fire.”’
et redient Chaldaei, et bellabunt contra civitatem hanc: et capient eam, et succendent eam igne.
9 “The LORD says, ‘Don’t deceive yourselves, saying, “The Kasdim will surely depart from us;” for they will not depart.
Haec dicit Dominus: Nolite decipere animas vestras, dicentes: Euntes abibunt, et recedent a nobis Chaldaei, quia non abibunt.
10 For though you had struck the whole army of the Kasdim who fight against you, and only wounded men remained amongst them, they would each rise up in his tent and burn this city with fire.’”
Sed et si percusseritis omnem exercitum Chaldaeorum, qui praeliantur adversum vos, et derelicti fuerint ex eis aliqui vulnerati: singuli de tentorio suo consurgent, et incendent civitatem hanc igne.
11 When the army of the Kasdim had withdrawn from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Ergo cum recessisset exercitus Chaldaeorum ab Ierusalem propter exercitum Pharaonis,
12 then Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the middle of the people.
egressus est Ieremias de Ierusalem ut iret in Terram Beniamin, et divideret ibi possessionem in conspectu civium.
13 When he was in Benjamin’s gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “You are defecting to the Kasdim!”
Cumque pervenisset ad portam Beniamin, erat ibi custos portae per vices, nomine Ierias, filius Selemiae filii Hananiae, et apprehendit Ieremiam prophetam, dicens: Ad Chaldaeos profugis.
14 Then Jeremiah said, “That is false! I am not defecting to the Kasdim.” But he didn’t listen to him; so Irijah seized Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Et respondit Ieremias: Falsum est, non fugio ad Chaldaeos. Et non audivit eum: sed comprehendit Ierias Ieremiam, et adduxit eum ad principes.
15 The princes were angry with Jeremiah, and struck him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Quam ob rem irati principes contra Ieremiam, caesum eum miserunt in carcerem, qui erat in domo Ionathan scribae: ipse enim praepositus erat super carcerem.
16 When Jeremiah had come into the dungeon house and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days,
Itaque ingressus est Ieremias in domum laci et in ergastulum: et sedit ibi Ieremias diebus multis.
17 then Zedekiah the king sent and had him brought out. The king asked him secretly in his house, “Is there any word from the LORD?” Jeremiah said, “There is.” He also said, “You will be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.”
Mittens autem Sedechias rex tulit eum: et interrogavit eum in domo sua abscondite, et dixit: Putasne est sermo a Domino? Et dixit Ieremias: Est. Et ait: In manus regis Babylonis traderis.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Et dixit Ieremias ad regem Sedechiam: Quid peccavi tibi, et servis tuis, et populo tuo, quia misisti me in domum carceris?
19 Now where are your prophets who prophesied to you, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you, nor against this land’?
Ubi sunt prophetae vestri, qui prophetabant vobis, et dicebant: Non veniet rex Babylonis super vos, et super terram hanc?
20 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my supplication be presented before you, that you not cause me to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.”
Nunc ergo audi obsecro domine mi rex: Valeat deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo: et ne me remittas in domum Ionathan scribae, ne moriar ibi.
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard. They gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was gone. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Praecepit ergo rex Sedechias ut traderetur Ieremias in vestibulo carceris: et daretur ei torta panis quotidie, excepto pulmento, donec consumerentur omnes panes de civitate: et mansit Ieremias in vestibulo carceris.
