Jeremiah 34

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA VOLGARE
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 Lo detto che disse Iddio a Ieremia (profeta), quando Nabucodonosor, re di Babilonia, e tutto il suo oste, e tutti li reami della terra i quali erano sotto la siguoria delle sue mani, e tutti li (suoi) populi combattevano contro a Ierusalem e contro alle sue terre, e disse così:
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 Questo dice lo Signore Iddio d'Israel: va e parla a Sedecia, re di Giuda, e dirai a lui: questo dice Iddio: ecco io darò questa città in mano del re di Babilonia, e accenderalla al fuoco.
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 E tu non fuggirai della sua mano; ma sarai preso, e sarai dato nella sua mano; e li tuoi occhi vederanno li occhi dello re di Babilonia
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 Ma pure odi la parola di Dio, o Sedecia, re di Giuda questo dice Iddio a te: non morrai di coltello;
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 ma morrai in pace, e secondo l' arsure dei tuoi padri re i quali furono innanzi te, così arderanno te; e piagneranno te, dicendo: ohimè, Signore; però ch' io hoe parlato la parola che dice Iddio.
6 And Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke all these words to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in Jerusalem.	6 E parlò Ieremia [profeta] a Sedecia, re di Ginda, tutte queste parole 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 E l'oste dello re di Babilonia combatteva contro a Ierusalem, e contro a tutte le città di Giuda, le quali aveano lasciate, contro a Lachis e contro (Ado e contro) ad Azeca; e queste erano rimase delle città di Giuda, cittadi armate.
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 Lo detto che disse Iddio a Ieremia, poi che lo re Sedecia percosse [il patto] con tutto lo populo in Ierusalem, predicante
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 che ogni uomo lasciasse lo suo servo, e ciascuno l' ancilla sua, ebreo ed ebrea, (e facesse) liberi; e non avessono signoria sopra loro, cioè nel giudeo e nel suo fratello.
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 Tutti li principi e l' universo populo l' udirono (quelli), i quali feciono patto che ciascuno lasciasse lo servo suo, e ciascuno l' ancilla sua (serva) liberi, e non avessono più signoria sopra loro; e udirono, e lasciaronli.
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 E rivolti sono di quindi innanzi, e ritrassono li servi e l' ancille, li quali aveano lasciati liberi, e soggiogaronli al servigio.
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:	12 E disse Iddio a Ieremia:
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 Questo dice lo Signore [Iddio d' Israel]: feci patto colli vostri padri, nel dì ch' io li menai della terra di Egitto, della casa della servitù, e dissi :
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 Quando saranno compiuti li sette anni, ciascuno lasci lo suo fratello ebreo, lo quale è venduto a lui e servirà a [te] sette anni; e lasciera'lo andare da te libero; e li vostri padri non mi udirono, e non inchinarono li loro orecchi a me.
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 E voi oggi siete convertiti, e facesti quello ch' è diritto nelli miei occhi, e (che) predicaste che ciascuno dèsse libertà al suo amico; e facesti lo patto nel mio conspetto, nella casa dove è invocato lo mio. nome sopra lei.
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 E siete ritornati, e avete contaminato lo mio nome; e rimenaste ciascuno lo suo servo e la sua ancilla, i quali voi avevi lasciati liberi, e che fussono di loro (libertade e di loro) potestade; e rimenasteli, che vi fussono servi e ancille.
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 Però questo dice Iddio: voi non udiste me, acciò predicaste libertade ciascuno [al suo fratello, e ciascuno] al suo amico; ecco io vi predico [libertade], dice Iddio, e al coltello e a fame e a pestilenza, e darò voi in commozione a tutti li reami della terra.
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 E darò li uomini, che prevàricano lo mio patto, e non osservano le parole del mio patto, delle quali furono consenzienti nel mio conspetto, lo vitello lo quale tagliarono in due parti, e passarono intra le sue divisioni;
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 li principi di Ierusalem e di Giuda, e li castrati e li sacerdoti, e tutto lo populo della terra, i quali passarono [intra] le divisioni del vitello;
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 e darolli in mano de' loro nimici, e di quelli che domandano l' anime loro; e sarà la loro mortalità esca alli uccelli del cielo e alle bestie della terra.
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 E darò Sedecia, re (della terra) di Giuda e' suoi principi in mano de' suoi nimici, e in mano delli addomandanti l'anime loro, e in mano dello esèrcito dello re di Babilonia, i quali si partirono da voi.
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 Ecco io comando, dice Iddio, e rimenerolli in questa cittade, e combatteranno incontro a lei, e piglierannola [e arderannola] al fuoco; e le cittadi di Giuda darò in solitudine, però che non vi sia abitatore.
