Jeremiah 11
1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye,
Verbum quod factum est a Domino ad Jeremiam, dicens:
2 and seide, Here ye the wordis of this couenaunt, and speke ye to the men of Juda, and to the dwelleris of Jerusalem; and thou schalt seie to hem,
[Audite verba pacti hujus, et loquimini ad viros Juda, et ad habitatores Jerusalem,
3 The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Cursid be the man that herith not the wordis of this couenaunt,
et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Maledictus vir qui non audierit verba pacti hujus
4 which Y comaundide to youre fadris, in the dai in which Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, fro the irone furneis; and Y seide, Here ye my vois, and do ye alle thingis whiche Y comaundide to you, and ye schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to you;
quod præcepi patribus vestris, in die qua eduxi eos de terra Ægypti, de fornace ferrea, dicens: Audite vocem meam, et facite omnia quæ præcipio vobis, et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum:
5 that Y reise the ooth which Y swoor to youre fadris, that Y schulde yyue to hem a lond flowynge with mylk and hony, as this dai is. And Y answeride, and seide, Amen, Lord.
ut suscitem juramentum quod juravi patribus vestris, daturum me eis terram fluentem lacte et melle, sicut est dies hæc.] Et respondi, et dixi: Amen, Domine.
6 And the Lord seide to me, Crye thou alle these wordis in the citees of Juda, and with out Jerusalem, and seie thou, Here ye the wordis of this couenaunt, and do ye tho;
Et dixit Dominus ad me: [Vociferare omnia verba hæc in civitatibus Juda, et foris Jerusalem, dicens: Audite verba pacti hujus, et facite illa,
7 for Y witnessynge haue witnessid to youre fadris, in the dai in which Y ledde hem out of the lond of Egipt, `til to this dai; Y roos eerli, and witnesside, and seide, Here ye my vois.
quia contestans contestatus sum patres vestros, in die qua eduxi eos de terra Ægypti, usque ad diem hanc: mane consurgens contestatus sum, et dixi: Audite vocem meam.
8 And thei herden not, nether bowiden doun her eere, but thei yeden forth ech man in the schrewidnesse of his yuel herte; and Y brouyte in on hem alle the wordis of this couenaunt, which Y comaundide that thei schulden do, and thei diden not.
Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam, sed abierunt, unusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali: et induxi super eos omnia verba pacti hujus quod præcepi ut facerent, et non fecerunt.]
9 And the Lord seide to me, Sweryng togidere is foundun in the men of Juda, and in the dwelleris of Jerusalem;
Et dixit Dominus ad me: [Inventa est conjuratio in viris Juda et in habitatoribus Jerusalem.
10 thei turneden ayen to the formere wickidnessis of her fadris, that nolden here my wordis; and therfor these men yeden aftir alien goddis, for to serue hem; the hous of Israel and the hous of Juda maden voide my couenaunt, which Y made with the fadris of hem.
Reversi sunt ad iniquitates patrum suorum priores, qui noluerunt audire verba mea: et hi ergo abierunt post deos alienos, ut servirent eis: irritum fecerunt domus Israël et domus Juda pactum meum quod pepigi cum patribus eorum.
11 Wherfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bringe in on hem yuels, of whiche thei schulen not mow go out; and thei schulen crie to me, and Y schal not here hem.
Quam ob rem hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego inducam super eos mala de quibus exire non poterunt: et clamabunt ad me, et non exaudiam eos.
12 And the citees of Juda and the dwellers of Jerusalem schulen go, and schulen crye to hem, to whiche thei offren sacrifices; and thei schulen not saue hem in the tyme of her turment.
Et ibunt civitates Juda et habitatores Jerusalem, et clamabunt ad deos quibus libant, et non salvabunt eos in tempore afflictionis eorum.
13 For thou, Juda, thi goddis weren bi the noumbre of thi citees, and thou settidist auters of schenschipe, bi the noumbre of the weies of Jerusalem, auters to offre sacrifices to Baalym.
Secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui, Juda: et secundum numerum viarum Jerusalem, posuisti aras confusionis, aras ad libandum Baalim.
14 Therfor nyle thou preie for this puple, and take thou not heriyng and preier for hem; for Y schal not here in the tyme of the cry of hem to me, in the tyme of the turment of hem.
Tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc, et ne assumas pro eis laudem et orationem, quia non exaudiam in tempore clamoris eorum ad me, in tempore afflictionis eorum.
15 What is it, that my derlyng doith many greet trespassis in myn hous? whether hooli fleischis schulen do awei fro thee thi malice, in which thou hast glorie?
Quid est, quod dilectus meus in domo mea fecit scelera multa? numquid carnes sanctæ auferent a te malitias tuas, in quibus gloriata es?
16 The Lord clepide thi name an olyue tre, fair, ful of fruyt, schapli; at the vois of a greet speche fier brent an hiy ther ynne, and the buyschis therof ben brent.
Olivam uberem, pulchram, fructiferam, speciosam, vocavit Dominus nomen tuum: ad vocem loquelæ, grandis exarsit ignis in ea, et combusta sunt fruteta ejus.
17 And the Lord of oostis that plauntide thee, spak yuel on thee, for the yuels of the hous of Israel, and of the hous of Juda, whiche thei diden to hem silf, and offriden to Baalym, to terre me to wraththe.
Et Dominus exercituum, qui plantavit te, locutus est super te malum, pro malis domus Israël, et domus Juda, quæ fecerunt sibi ad irritandum me, libantes Baalim.]
18 Forsothe, Lord, thou schewidist to me, and Y knew; thou schewidist to me the studies of hem.
[Tu autem, Domine, demonstrasti mihi, et cognovi: tunc ostendisti mihi studia eorum.
19 And Y am as a mylde lomb, which is borun to slayn sacrifice; and Y knew not, that thei thouyten counsels on me, and seiden, Sende we a tre in to the brede of hym, and rase we hym awei fro the lond of lyueris, and his name be no more hadde in mynde.
Et ego quasi agnus mansuetus, qui portatur ad victimam: et non cognovi quia cogitaverunt super me consilia, dicentes: Mittamus lignum in panem ejus, et eradamus eum de terra viventium, et nomen ejus non memoretur amplius.
20 But thou, Lord of oostis, that demest iustli, and preuest reynes and hertis, se Y thi veniaunce of hem; for to thee Y schewide my cause.
Tu autem, Domine Sabaoth, qui judicas juste, et probas renes et corda, videam ultionem tuam ex eis: tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
21 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis to the men of Anathot, that seken thi lijf, and seien, Thou schalt not prophesie in the name of the Lord, and thou schalt not die in oure hondis.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus ad viros Anathoth, qui quærunt animam tuam, et dicunt: Non prophetabis in nomine Domini, et non morieris in manibus nostris:
22 Therfor the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal visite on hem; the yonge men of hem schulen die bi swerd, the sones of hem and the douytris of hem schulen die for hungur;
propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce ego visitabo super eos: juvenes morientur in gladio; filii eorum et filiæ eorum morientur in fame.
23 and no relifs, ether children abidynge, schulen be of hem; for Y schal bringe ynne yuel on the men of Anathot, the yeer of the visitacioun of hem.
Et reliquiæ non erunt ex eis: inducam enim malum super viros Anathoth, annum visitationis eorum.]
