Prophetia Jeremiae

Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

Et facto es verbo de Domino ad me, dicente:

Vade, et clama in auribus Jerusalem, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus: Recordatus sum tui, miserans adolescentiam tuam, et caritatem desponsationis tuæ, quando secuta es me in deserto, in terra quæ non seminatur.

Go, and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying: Thus saith the Lord: I have remembered thee, pitying thy youth, and the love of thy espousals, when thou followedst me in the desert, in a land that is not sown.

Vade, et clama in aures Ierusalem, dicente: Domino dic hoc: recordor es tuo, mitte adolescentia tuo, et caritate de desponsatione tuo, quando seque es me in deserto, in terra que non semina.

Sanctus Israël Domino, primitiæ frugum ejus: omnes qui devorant eum delinquunt: mala venient super eos, dicit Dominus.

Israel is holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of his increase: all they that devour him offend: evils shall come upon them, saith the Lord.

Sancto Israële ad Domino, primitias de fruges de illo: omni qui devora illo delinque: malo veni super illos, Domino dic.

Audite verbum Domini, domus Jacob, et omnes cognationes domus Israël.

Hear ye the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all ye families of the house of Israel:

Audi verbo de Domino, domo Iacobo, et omni cognationes domo Israële.

Hæc dicit Dominus: Quid invenerunt patres vestri in me iniquitatis, quia elongaverunt a me, et ambulaverunt post vanitatem, et vani facti sunt?

Thus saith the Lord: What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

Domino dic hoc: patres vestro inveni quid in me de iniquitate, quia elonga ab me, et ambula post vanitate, et vana fac es?

Et non dixerunt: Ubi est Dominus qui ascendere nos fecit de terra Ægypti; qui traduxit nos per desertum, per terram inhabitabilem et inviam, per terram sitis, et imaginem mortis, per terram in qua non ambulavit vir, neque habitavit homo?

And they have not said: Where is the Lord, that made us come up out of the land of Egypt? that led us through the desert, through a land uninhabited and unpassable, through a land of drought, and the image of death, through a land wherein no man walked, nor any man dwelt?

Et non dic: ubi es Domino qui ascende nos fac de terra de Aegypto; qui traduce nos per deserto, per terra inhabitabili et invia, per terra es, et imagine de morte, per terra in quo non viro ambula, neque homine habita?

Et induxi vos in terram Carmeli, ut comederetis fructum ejus et optima illius: et ingressi contaminastis terram meam, et hæreditatem meam posuistis in abominationem.

And I brought you into the land of Carmel, to eat the fruit thereof, and the best things thereof: and when ye entered in, you defiled my land and made my inheritance an abomination.

Et induce vos in terra Carmelio, ut comede fructu de illo et bono de illo: et ingredior contamina terra meo, et haereditate meo pone in abominatione.

Sacerdotes non dixerunt: Ubi est Dominus? et tenentes legem nescierunt me, et pastores prævaricati sunt in me, et prophetæ prophetaverunt in Baal, et idola secuti sunt.

The priests did not say: Where is the Lord? and they that held the law knew me not, and the pastors transgressed against me: and the prophets prophesied in Baal, and followed idols.

Sacerdotes non dic: ubi es Domino? Et tene lege ne sci me, et pastores praevaricor es in me, et prophetas propheta in Baale, et idolas seque es.

Propterea adhuc judicio contendam vobiscum, ait Dominus, et cum filiis vestris disceptabo.

Therefore will I yet contend in judgment with you, saith the Lord, and I will plead with your children.

Propter hoc adhuc iudicio contende vos, Domino dic, et cum filios vestro discepta.

Transite ad insulas Cethim, et videte: et in Cedar mittite, et considerate vehementer: et videte si factum est hujuscemodi:

Pass over to the isles of Cethim, and see: and send into Cedar, and consider diligently: and see if there hath been done any thing like this.

Transi ad insulas Cethime, et vide: et in Cedare mitte, et considera vehementer: et vide si facto es huiuscemodudi:

si mutavit gens deos suos, et certe ipsi non sunt dii: populus vero meus mutavit gloriam suam in idolum.

If a nation hath changed their gods, and indeed they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory into an idol.

Si gente muta deos suo, et certe ipso non es deos: populo vero meo muta gloria suo in idolo.

Obstupescite, cæli, super hoc, et portæ ejus, desolamini vehementer, dicit Dominus.

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and ye gates thereof, be very desolate, saith the Lord.

Obstupesce, de caelo, super hoc, et portas de illo, desola vehementer, Domino dic.

Duo enim mala fecit populus meus: me dereliquerunt fontem aquæ vivæ, et foderunt sibi cisternas, cisternas dissipatas, quia continere non valent aquas.

For my people have done two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and have digged to themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

Duo nam malo fac populo meo: me derelinque fonte de aqua vivo, et fodie ad se cisternas, cisternas dissipa, quia contine non aquas vale.

Numquid servus est Israël, aut vernaculus? quare ergo factus est in prædam?

Is Israel a bondman, or a homeborn slave? why then is he become a prey?

Numquid servo es Israële, aut vernaculo? Quare ergo facto es in praeda?

Super eum rugierunt leones, et dederunt vocem suam: posuerunt terram ejus in solitudinem. Civitates ejus exustæ sunt, et non est qui habitet in eis.

The lions have roared upon him, and have made a noise, they have made his land a wilderness: his cities are burnt down, and there is none to dwell in them.

Super illo leones rugie, et da voce suo: pone terra de illo in solitudine. Civitates de illo exurta es, et non qui habita in illos es.

Filii quoque Mempheos et Taphnes constupraverunt te usque ad verticem.

The children also of Memphis, and of Taphnes have defloured thee, even to the crown of the head.

Filios etiam Mempheis et Taphne constupra te usque ad vertice.

Numquid non istud factum est tibi, quia dereliquisti Dominum Deum tuum eo tempore quo ducebat te per viam?

Hath not this been done to thee, because thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God at that time, when he led thee by the way?

Numquid non isto facto es ad te, quia derelinque Domino Deo tuo eo tempore quo duc te per via?

Et nunc quid tibi vis in via Ægypti, ut bibas aquam turbidam? et quid tibi cum via Assyriorum, ut bibas aquam fluminis?

And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the troubled water? And what hast thou to do with the way of the Assyrians, to drink the water of the river?

Et nunc quid ad te vol in via de Aegypto, ut bibe aqua turbido? Et quid ad te cum via de Assyriis, ut bibe aqua de flumine?

Arguet te malitia tua, et aversio tua increpabit te. Scito et vide quia malum et amarum est reliquisse te Dominum Deum tuum, et non esse timorem mei apud te, dicit Dominus Deus exercituum.

Thy own wickedness shall reprove thee, and thy apostasy shall rebuke thee. Know thou, and see that it is an evil and a bitter thing for thee, to have left the Lord thy God, and that my fear is not with thee, saith the Lord the God of hosts.

Malitia tuo argue te, et aversione tuo increpa te. Sci et vide quia malo et amaro es relinque te Domino Deo tuo, et non es timore meo apud te, Domino Deo de exercitus dic.

A sæculo confregisti jugum meum: rupisti vincula mea, et dixisti: Non serviam. In omni enim colle sublimi, et sub omni ligno frondoso, tu prosternebaris meretrix.

Of old time thou hast broken my yoke, thou hast burst my bands, and thou saidst: I will not serve. For on every high hill, and under every green tree thou didst prostitute thyself.

Ab saeculo confrige iugo meo: rupi vinculos meo, et dic: non servi. In omni nam colle sublimi, et sub omni ligno frondoso, te prosterne meretrice.

Ego autem plantavi te vineam electam, omne semen verum: quomodo ergo conversa es mihi in pravum, vinea aliena?

Yet, I planted thee a chosen vineyard, all true seed: how then art thou turned unto me into that which is good for nothing, O strange vineyard?

Me autem planta te vinea elige, omni semine verissimo: quomodo ergo converte es ad me in pravo, vinea aliena?

Si laveris te nitro, et multiplicaveris tibi herbam borith, maculata es in iniquitate tua coram me, dicit Dominus Deus.

Though thou wash thyself with nitre, and multiply to thyself the herb borith, thou art stained in thy iniquity before me, saith the Lord God.

Si lava te nitro, et multiplica ad te herba ba, macula es in iniquitate tuo coram me, Domino Deo dic.

Quomodo dicis: Non sum polluta; post Baalim non ambulavi? Vide vias tuas in convalle; scito quid feceris: cursor levis explicans vias suas.

How canst thou say: I am not polluted, I have not walked after Baalim? see thy ways in the valley, know what thou hast done: as a swift runner pursuing his course.

Quomodo dic: non es pollue; post Baalime non ambula? Vide vias tuo in convalle; sci cursore levi: fac quid explica vias suo.

Onager assuetus in solitudine, in desiderio animæ suæ attraxit ventum amoris sui: nullus avertet eam: omnes qui quærunt eam non deficient: in menstruis ejus invenient eam.

A wild ass accustomed to the wilderness in the desire of his heart, snuffed up the wind of his love: none shall turn her away: all that seek her shall not fail: in her monthly filth they shall find her.

Onagro assuesce in solitudine, in desiderio de anima suo attrahe vento de amore suo: nullo averte illa: omni qui quaere illa non defice: in menstruos de illo inveni illa.

Prohibe pedem tuum a nuditate, et guttur tuum a siti. Et dixisti: Desperavi: nequaquam faciam: adamavi quippe alienos, et post eos ambulabo.

Keep thy foot from being bare, and thy throat from thirst. But thou saidst: I have lost all hope, I will not do it: for I have loved strangers, and I will walk after them.

Prohibe pede tuo ab nuditate, et gutture tuo ab siti. Et dic: fespera: nequaquam fac: adama quippe aliena, et post illos ambula.

Quomodo confunditur fur quando deprehenditur, sic confusi sunt domus Israël, ipsi et reges eorum, principes, et sacerdotes, et prophetæ eorum,

As the thief is confounded when he is taken, so is the house of Israel confounded, they and their kings, their princes and their priests, and their prophets.

Quomodo fure confunde quando depr(eh)enda, sic confunde es domo Israële, ipso et reges de illos, principes, et sacerdotes, et prophetas de illos,

dicentes ligno: Pater meus es tu: et lapidi: Tu me genuisti. Verterunt ad me tergum et non faciem, et in tempore afflictionis suæ dicent: Surge, et libera nos.

Saying to a stock: Thou art my father: and to a stone: Thou hast begotten me: they have turned their back to me, and not their face: and in the time of their affliction they will say: Arise, and deliver us.

Dicente ligno: patre meo es te: et ad lapide: te gene me. Verte ad me tergo et non facie, et in tempore de afflictione suo dic: surge, et libro nos.

Ubi sunt dii tui quos fecisti tibi? surgant, et liberent te in tempore afflictionis tuæ: secundum numerum quippe civitatum tuarum erant dii tui, Juda.

Where are the gods, whom thou hast made thee? let them arise and deliver thee in the time of thy affliction: for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Juda.

Ubi es deos tuo que fac ad te? Surge, et libera te in tempore de afflictione tuo: secundo numero quippe de civitates tuo es deos tuo, Iuda.

Quid vultis mecum judicio contendere? omnes dereliquistis me, dicit Dominus.

Why will you contend with me in judgment? you have all forsaken me, saith the Lord.

Quid vol mecum iudicio contende? Omni derelinque me, Domino dic.

Frustra percussi filios vestros: disciplinam non receperunt. Devoravit gladius vester prophetas vestros: quasi leo vastator

In vain have I struck your children, they have not received correction: your sword hath devoured your prophets, your generation is like a ravaging lion.

Frustra percute filios vestro: disciplina non recipe. Devora gladio vestro prophetas vestro: quasi leone vastatore

generatio vestra. Videte verbum Domini: numquid solitudo factus sum Israëli, aut terra serotina? quare ergo dixit populus meus: Recessimus; non veniemus ultra ad te?

See ye the word of the Lord: Am I become a wilderness to Israel, or a lateward springing land? why then have my people said: We are revolted, we will come to thee no more?

Generatione vestro. Vide verbo de Domino: numquid solitudine facto es Israëlo, aut terra serotino? Quare ergo populo meo dic: recede; non veni ultra ad te?

Numquid obliviscetur virgo ornamenti sui, aut sponsa fasciæ pectoralis suæ? populus vero meus oblitus est mei diebus innumeris.

Will a virgin forget her ornament, or a bride her stomacher? but my people hath forgotten me days without number.

Numquid obliviscor virgine de ornamento suo, aut sponsa de fascia pectorali suo? Populo vero meo oblina es meo dies innumero.

Quid niteris bonam ostendere viam tuam ad quærendam dilectionem, quæ insuper et malitias tuas docuisti vias tuas,

Why dost thou endeavour to shew thy way good to seek my love, thou who hast also taught thy malices to be thy ways,

Quid nior bono ostende via tuo ad quaere dilectione, que insuper et malitias tuo doce vias tuo,

et in alis tuis inventus est sanguis animarum pauperum et innocentum? non in fossis inveni eos, sed in omnibus quæ supra memoravi.

And in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor and innocent? not in ditches have I found them, but in all places, which I mentioned before.

Et in ales tuo inveni es sanguine de animas paupere et de innocento? Non in fossas inveni illos, sed in omni que supra memora.

Et dixisti: Absque peccato et innocens ego sum, et propterea avertatur furor tuus a me. Ecce ego judicio contendam tecum, eo quod dixeris: Non peccavi.

And thou hast said: I am without sin and am innocent: and therefore let thy anger be turned away from me. Behold, I will contend with thee in judgment, because thou hast said: I have not sinned.

Et dic: absque peccato et innocente me es, et propter hoc furore tuo averte ab me. Ecce me iudicio contende tecum, eo quod dic: non pecca.

Quam vilis facta es nimis, iterans vias tuas! et ab Ægypto confunderis, sicut confusa es ab Assur.

How exceeding base art thou become, going the same ways over again! and thou shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.

Quam vili facto es nimis, itera vias tuo! Et ab Aegypto confunde, sicut confunde es ab Assure.

Nam et ab ista egredieris, et manus tuæ erunt super caput tuum: quoniam obtrivit Dominus confidentiam tuam, et nihil habebis prosperum in ea.

For from thence thou shalt go, and thy hand shall be upon thy head: for the Lord hath destroyed thy trust, and thou shalt have nothing prosperous therein.

Nam et ab isto egredior, et manus tuo es super capite tuo: quia Domino obtri confidentia tuo, et nihil habe prospero in illa.
