Jeremiah 20

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Jeremiah was heard prophesying these things by the priest Pashhur, son of Immer, chief officer in the house of the LORD.	1 Et audivit Phassur filius Em mer sacerdos, qui constitutus erat princepsin domo Domini, Ieremiam prophetantem sermones istos;
2 So he had the prophet scourged and placed in the stocks at the upper Gate of Benjamin in the house of the LORD.	2 et percussit PhassurIeremiam prophetam et misit eum in nervum, quod erat in porta Beniamin superiorein domo Domini.
3 The next morning, after Pashhur had released Jeremiah from the stocks, the prophet said to him: Instead of Pashhur, the LORD will name you "Terror on every side."	3 Cumque illuxisset in crastinum, eduxit Phassur Ieremiam denervo; et dixit ad eum Ieremias: “ Non Phassur vocavit Dominus nomen tuum sedPavorem undique.
4 For thus says the LORD: Indeed, I will deliver you to terror, you and all your friends. Your own eyes shall see them fall by the sword of their enemies. All Judah I will deliver to the king of Babylon, who shall take them captive to Babylon or slay them with the sword.	4 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabo te in pavorem, te etomnes amicos tuos, et corruent gladio inimicorum suorum, et oculi tui videbunt;et omnem Iudam dabo in manu regis Babylonis, et traducet eos in Babylonem etpercutiet eos gladio.
5 All the wealth of this city, all it has toiled for and holds dear, all the treasures of the kings of Judah, I will give as plunder into the hands of their foes, who shall seize it and carry it away to Babylon.	5 Et dabo universam substantiam civitatis huius et omnemlaborem eius omneque pretium et cunctos thesauros regum Iudae dabo in manuinimicorum eorum; et diripient eos et tollent et ducent in Babylonem.
6 You Pashhur, and all the members of your household shall go into exile. To Babylon you shall go, you and all your friends; there you shall die and be buried, because you have prophesied lies to them.	6 Tuautem, Phassur et omnes habitatores domus tuae, ibitis in captivitatem; et inBabylonem venies et ibi morieris ibique sepelieris, tu et omnes amici tui,quibus prophetasti mendacium ”.
7 You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped; you were too strong for me, and you triumphed. All the day I am an object of laughter; everyone mocks me.	7 Seduxisti me, Domine, et seductus sum; fortior me fuisti et invaluisti. Factus sum in derisum tota die, omnes subsannant me.
8 Whenever I speak, I must cry out, violence and outrage is my message; The word of the LORD has brought me derision and reproach all the day.	8 Quia quotiescumque loquor, vociferor, iniquitatem et vastitatem clamito; et factus est mihi sermo Domini in opprobrium et in derisum tota die.
9 I say to myself, I will not mention him, I will speak in his name no more. But then it becomes like fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones; I grow weary holding it in, I cannot endure it.	9 Et dixi: “ Non recordabor eius neque loquar ultra in nomine illius ”. Et factus est in corde meo quasi ignis exaestuans claususque in ossibus meis: et defeci, ferre non sustinens.
10 Yes, I hear the whisperings of many: "Terror on every side! Denounce! let us denounce him!" All those who were my friends are on the watch for any misstep of mine. "Perhaps he will be trapped; then we can prevail, and take our vengeance on him."	10 Audivi enim contumelias multorum et terrorem in circuitu: “ Denuntiate, et denuntiemus eum ”. Omnes pacifici mei observabant lapsum meum: “ Forte decipietur, et praevalebimus adversus eum et consequemur ultionem ex eo ”.
11 But the LORD is with me, like a mighty champion: my persecutors will stumble, they will not triumph. In their failure they will be put to utter shame, to lasting, unforgettable confusion.	11 Dominus autem mecum est quasi bellator fortis; idcirco, qui persequuntur me, cadent et infirmi erunt. Confundentur vehementer, quia non prosperati sunt; opprobrium sempiternum, quod numquam delebitur.
12 O LORD of hosts, you who test the just, who probe mind and heart, Let me witness the vengeance you take on them, for to you I have entrusted my cause.	12 Et tu, Domine exercituum, probator iusti, qui vides renes et cor, videam, quaeso, ultionem tuam ex eis; tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
13 Sing to the LORD, praise the LORD, For he has rescued the life of the poor from the power of the wicked!	13 Cantate Domino, laudate Dominum, quia liberavit animam pauperis de manu malorum.
14 Cursed be the day on which I was born! May the day my mother gave me birth never be blessed!	14 Maledicta dies, in qua natus sum; dies, in qua peperit me mater mea, non sit benedicta.
15 Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, saying, "A child, a son, has been born to you!" filling him with great joy.	15 Maledictus vir, qui annuntiavit patri meo dicens: “ Natus est tibi puer masculus ” et gaudio laetificavit eum;
16 Let that man be like the cities which the LORD relentlessly overthrew; Let him hear war cries in the morning, battle alarms at noonday,	16 sit homo ille, ut sunt civitates, quas subvertit Dominus et non paenituit eum: audiat clamorem mane et ululatum in tempore meridiano,
17 because he did not dispatch me in the womb! Then my mother would have been my grave, her womb confining me forever.	17 qui non me interfecit a vulva, ut fieret mihi mater mea sepulcrum, et vulva eius conceptus aeternus.
18 Why did I come forth from the womb, to see sorrow and pain, to end my days in shame?	18 Quare de vulva egressus sum, ut viderem laborem et dolorem, et consumerentur in confusione dies mei?
