Jeremiah 40

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had released him from Ramah, where he had taken him, bound in chains, along with all those who were being carried away from Jerusalem and from Judah, and were being led to Babylon.	1 Sermo, qui factus est ad Ieremiam a Domino, postquam dimissus est aNabuzardan magistro satellitum de Rama, quando tulit eum vinctum catenis inmedio omnium, qui migrabant de Ierusalem et Iuda et ducebantur in Babylonem.
2 Therefore, the leader of the military, taking Jeremiah, said to him: “The Lord your God has declared this evil over this place,	2 Tollens ergo princeps satellitum Ieremiam, dixit ad eum: “ Dominus Deus tuuslocutus est malum hoc super locum istum
3 and he has brought it. And the Lord has done just as he has spoken. For you have sinned against the Lord, and you have not heeded his voice, and so this word has happened to you.	3 et adduxit; et fecit Dominus, sicutlocutus est, quia peccastis Domino et non audistis vocem eius, et factus estvobis sermo hic.
4 Now therefore, behold, I have released you this day from the chains which were on your hands. If it pleases you to come with me into Babylon, then come. And I will set my eyes upon you. But if it displeases you to come with me into Babylon, then remain. Behold, all the land is in your sight. Whatever you will choose, and wherever it will please you to go, so shall you go, proceeding to that place.	4 Nunc ergo ecce solvi te hodie de catenis, quae sunt inmanibus tuis. Si placet tibi, ut venias mecum in Babylonem, veni, et ponamoculos meos super te; si autem displicet tibi venire mecum in Babylonem, reside;ecce omnis terra in conspectu tuo est: quod elegeris et quo placuerit tibi utvadas, illuc perge ”.
5 And you may decline to come with me. For you may live with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made governor over the cities of Judah. Therefore, you may live with him in the midst of the people. And you may go wherever it will please you to go.” And the leader of the military also gave him foods and gifts, and he released him.	5 Cum nondum reverteretur, dixit: “ Revertere adGodoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan, quem praeposuit rex Babylonis civitatibusIudae; habita ergo cum eo in medio populi vel quocumque placuerit tibi ut vadas,vade ”. Dedit quoque ei magister satellitum cibaria et munuscula et dimisiteum.
6 Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. And he lived with him in the midst of the people, those who had been left behind in the land.	6 Venit autem Ieremias ad Godoliam filium Ahicam in Maspha et habitavit cumeo in medio populi, qui relictus fuerat in terra.
7 And when all the leaders of the army, who had been dispersed throughout the regions, they and their associates, had heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, governor of the land, and that he had committed to him the men, and women, and children, and the poor of the land, who had not been carried away to Babylon,	7 Cumque audissent omnes principes exercitus, qui dispersi fuerant per regiones,ipsi et viri eorum, quod praefecisset rex Babylonis Godoliam filium Ahicamterrae et quod commendasset ei viros et mulieres et parvulos et de pauperibusterrae, qui non fuerant translati in Babylonem,
8 they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah, with Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan, the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai, who were of Netophathi, and Jezaniah, the son of Maacathi, they and their men.	8 venerunt ad Godoliam inMaspha; Ismael, inquam, filius Nathaniae et Iohanan et Ionathan filii Caree etSaraia filius Thanehumeth et filii Ophi, qui erant de Netopha, et Iezoniasfilius Maachathi, ipsi et viri eorum.
9 And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Live in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.	9 Et iuravit eis Godolias filius Ahicamfilii Saphan et comitibus eorum dicens: “Nolite timere servire Chaldaeis;habitate in terra et servite regi Babylonis, et bene erit vobis.
10 Behold, I live at Mizpah, so that I may follow the instruction of the Chaldeans who are sent to us. But as for you, gather the vintage, and the harvest, and the oil, and store it up in your vessels, and dwell in your cities, which you hold.”	10 Ecce egohabito in Maspha, ut stem coram Chaldaeis, qui veniunt ad nos; vos autemcolligite vindemiam et messem et oleum et condite in vasis vestris et manete inurbibus vestris, quas tenetis ”.
11 So then, all the Jews, who were in Moab, and among the sons of Ammon, and in Idumea, and in all the regions, when they had heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over them,	11 Sed et omnes Iudaei, qui erant in Moab et in filiis Ammon et in Edom et inuniversis regionibus, audito quod dedisset rex Babylonis reliquias in Iudaea etquod praeposuisset super eos Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan,
12 all the Jews, I say, returned from all the places to which they had fled, and they came into the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah. And they gathered wine and an exceedingly great harvest.	12 reversisunt, inquam, omnes Iudaei de universis locis, ad quae profugerant, et veneruntin terram Iudae ad Godoliam in Maspha et collegerunt vinum et messem multamnimis.
13 Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the army, who had been dispersed in the regions, came to Gedaliah at Mizpah.	13 Iohanan autem filius Caree et omnes principes exercitus, qui dispersi fuerantin regionibus, venerunt ad Godoliam in Maspha
14 And they said to him: “Know that Baalis, the king of the sons of Ammon, has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to strike down your life.” And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, did not believe them.	14 et dixerunt ei: “ Scito quodBaalis rex filiorum Ammon misit Ismael filium Nathaniae percutere animam tuam”; et non credidit eis Godolias filius Ahicam.
15 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, spoke to Gedaliah, separately, at Mizpah, saying: “I will go, and I will strike down Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, without anyone knowing; otherwise he may kill you, and all the Jews will be scattered who have been gathered to you, and the remnant of Judah will perish.”	15 Iohanan vero filius Careedixit ad Godoliam seorsum in Maspha loquens: “ Ibo et percutiam Ismael filiumNathaniae, nullo sciente, ne interficiat animam tuam, et dissipentur omnesIudaei, qui congregati sunt ad te, et peribunt reliquiae Iudae ”.
16 And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, said to Johanan, the son of Kareah: “Do not do this word. For what you have said about Ishmael is false.”	16 Et aitGodolias filius Ahicam ad Iohanan filium Caree: “ Noli facere verbum hoc;falsum enim tu loqueris de Ismael ”.
