Jeremiæ 26

1 In principio regni Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, factum est verbum istud a Domino, dicens:

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,

2 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,

Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them; diminish not a word:

3 si forte audiant et convertantur unusquisque a via sua mala: et pœniteat me mali quod cogito facere eis propter malitiam studiorum eorum.

It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

4 Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus: Si non audieritis me ut ambuletis in lege mea, quam dedi vobis

And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD, If ye will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 ut audiatis sermones servorum meorum Prophetarum, quos ego misi ad vos de nocte consurgens, et dirigens, et non audistis:

To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you, both rising early, and sending [them], but ye have not hearkened;

6 Dabo domum istam sicut Silo, et urbem hanc dabo in maledictionem cunctis gentibus terræ.

Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

7 Et audierunt sacerdotes, et prophetæ, et omnis populus Ieremiam loquentem verba hæc in domo Domini.

So the priests and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.

8 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.

Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded [him] to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

9 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.

Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah, in the house of the LORD.

10 Et audierunt principes Iuda verba hæc: et ascenderunt de domo regis in domum Domini, et sederunt in introitu portæ domus Domini novæ.

When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S [house].

11 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.

Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man [is] worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.

12 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.

Then Jeremiah spoke to 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.

13 Nunc ergo bonas facite vias vestras, et studia vestra, et audite vocem Domini Dei vestri: et pœnitebit Dominum mali, quod locutus est adversum vos.

Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

14 Ego autem ecce in manibus vestris sum: facite mihi quod bonum et rectum est in oculis vestris:

As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand: do with me as it seemeth good and meet to you.

15 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.

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye will surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its inhabitants: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

16 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.

Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man [is] not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.

17 Surrexerunt ergo viri de senioribus terræ: et dixerunt ad omnem cœtum populi, loquentes:

Then arose certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 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.

Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.

19 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.

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear the LORD, and beseech the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

20 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.

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:

21 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.

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 Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

22 Et misit rex Ioakim viros in Ægyptum, Elnathan filium Achobor, et viros cum eo in Ægyptum.

And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor, and [certain] men with him into Egypt.

23 Et eduxerunt Uriam de Ægypto: et adduxerunt eum ad regem Ioakim, et percussit eum gladio: et proiecit cadaver eius in sepulchris vulgi ignobilis.

And they brought forth Urijah from Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

24 Igitur manus Ahicam filii Saphan fuit cum Ieremia, ut non traderetur in manus populi, et interficerent eum.

Nevertheless 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.
