Jeremiah 34

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and his entire army, and all the kingdoms of the earth that were under the authority of his hand, and all the people were making war against Jerusalem and against all of its cities, saying:	1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, quando Nabuchodonosor rexBabylonis et omnis exercitus eius universaque regna terrae, quae erant subpotestate manus eius, et omnes populi bellabant contra Ierusalem et contra omnesurbes eius, dicens:
2 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Zedekiah, the king of Judah. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.	2 “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Vade et loquere adSedeciam regem Iudae et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradamcivitatem hanc in manus regis Babylonis, et succendet eam igni;
3 And you will not escape from his hand. Instead, you will be overtaken and captured, and you will be delivered into his hand. And your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth will speak with your mouth, and you will enter into Babylon.	3 et tu noneffugies de manu eius, sed comprehensione capieris et in manu eius traderis, etoculi tui oculos regis Babylonis videbunt, et os eius cum ore tuo loquetur, etBabylonem introibis.
4 Even so, listen to the word of the Lord, Zedekiah, king of Judah: Thus says the Lord to you: You will not die by the sword.	4 Attamen audi verbum Domini, Sedecia rex Iudae. Haec dicitDominus ad te: Non morieris in gladio,
5 Instead, you will die in peace. And, in accord with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so will they burn you. And they will mourn you, saying: ‘Alas, lord!’ For I have spoken the word, says the Lord.”	5 sed in pace morieris et secundumcombustiones patrum tuorum regum priorum, qui fuerunt ante te, sic comburenttibi et “Vae, domine!” plangent te, quia verbum ego locutus sum ”, dicitDominus.
6 And Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke all these words to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in Jerusalem.	6 Et locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Sedeciam regem Iudae universaverba haec in Ierusalem;
7 And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that remained, against Lachish and against Azekah. For only these remained out of the cities of Judah that were fortified cities.	7 et exercitus regis Babylonis pugnabat contraIerusalem et contra omnes civitates Iudae, quae reliquae erant, contra Lachis etcontra Azeca: hae enim supererant de civitatibus Iudae urbes munitae.
8 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after king Zedekiah had struck a pact with all the people in Jerusalem, proclaiming	8 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, postquam percussit rex Sedeciasfoedus cum omni populo in Ierusalem praedicans eis libertatem,
9 that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, as a free Hebrew man and a free Hebrew woman, and that they should never be rulers over them, that is, over the Jews, their own brothers.	9 ut dimitteretunusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam, Hebraeum et Hebraeam,liberos et nequaquam dominarentur eis, id est in Iudaeo et fratre suo.
10 Then all the leaders and all the people who entered into the pact, heard that each one should release his man servant, and each one his woman servant, to be free, and that they should no longer rule over them. Therefore, they listened, and they released them.	10 Audierunt ergo omnes principes et universus populus, qui inierant pactum, utdimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam liberos et ultranon dominarentur eis; audierunt igitur et dimiserunt.
11 But later on, they turned back. And they took back again their man servants and their woman servants, whom they had released to be free. And they subjugated them as male and female servants.	11 Et conversi suntdeinceps et retraxerunt servos et ancillas suas, quos dimiserant liberos, etsubiugaverunt in famulos et in famulas.
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:	12 Et factum est verbum Domini adIeremiam a Domino dicens:
13 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I struck a pact with your fathers in the day when I led them away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude, saying:	13 “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Ego percussifoedus cum patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de terra Aegypti de domoservitutis, dicens:
14 ‘When seven years have been completed, let each one release his brother, a Hebrew, who had been sold to him. And so he will serve you for six years, and then you shall release him to be free from you.’ But your fathers did not listen to me, nor did they incline their ear.	14 Cum completi fuerint septem anni, dimittat unusquisquefratrem suum Hebraeum, qui venditus est ei, et serviet tibi sex annis, etdimittes eum a te liberum, et non audierunt patres vestri me nec inclinaveruntaurem suam.
15 And today you converted, and you did what is right in my eyes, so that you proclaimed liberty, each one to his friend. And you entered into a pact in my sight, in the house in which and over which my name is invoked.	15 Et conversi estis vos hodie et fecistis, quod rectum est inoculis meis, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque ad proximum suum; etinistis pactum in conspectu meo in domo, super quam invocatum est nomen meum.
16 But now you have turned back, and you have stained my name. For you have led back again, each one his man servant, and each one his woman servant, whom you had released so that they would be free and under their own authority. And you have subjugated them, so that they would be your servants and handmaids.”	16 Et reversi estis et commaculastis nomen meum et reduxistis unusquisque servumsuum et unusquisque ancillam suam, quos dimiseratis, ut essent liberi et suaepotestatis, et subiugastis eos, ut sint vobis servi et ancillae.
17 Because of this, thus says the Lord: “You have not heeded me, though you proclaimed liberty, each one to his brother and each one to his friend. Behold, I am proclaiming a liberty for you, says the Lord, to the sword, to pestilence, and to famine. And I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.	17 Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Vos non audistis me, ut praedicaretislibertatem unusquisque fratri suo et unusquisque amico suo; ecce ego praedicovobis libertatem, ait Dominus, ad gladium et pestem et famem et dabo vos incommotionem cunctis regnis terrae.
18 And I will give over the men who have betrayed my covenant, and who have not observed the words of the covenant, to which they assented in my sight when they cut the calf into two parts and passed between its parts:	18 Et dabo viros, qui praevaricantur foedusmeum et non observaverunt verba foederis, quibus assensi sunt in conspectu meo,sicut vitulum, quem conciderunt in duas partes et transierunt inter divisioneseius,
19 the leaders of Judah, and the leaders of Jerusalem, the eunuchs and the priests, and all the people of the land, who have passed between the parts of the calf.	19 principes Iudae et principes Ierusalem, eunuchi et sacerdotes et omnispopulus terrae, qui transierunt inter divisiones vituli;
20 And I will give them into the hands of their enemies and into the hands of those who are seeking their life. And their dead bodies will be food for the birds of the air and for the beasts of the earth.	20 et dabo eos in manuinimicorum suorum et in manu quaerentium animam eorum, et erit morticinum eorumin escam volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae.
21 And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his leaders, I will give over to the hands of their enemies, and to the hands of those who are seeking their lives, and to the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which had withdrawn from you.	21 Et Sedeciam regem Iudae etprincipes eius dabo in manus inimicorum suorum et in manus quaerentium animaseorum et in manus exercituum regis Babylonis, qui recesserunt a vobis.
22 Behold, I will command, says the Lord, and I will lead them back to this city, and they will fight against it, and seize it, and set it on fire. And I will make the cities of Judah into a desolation, for there shall be no inhabitant.”	22 Ecceego praecipio, dicit Dominus, et reducam eos in civitatem hanc; et proeliabunturadversus eam et capient eam et incendent igni; et civitates Iudae dabo insolitudinem, eo quod non sit habitator ”.
