Geremia 11

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino dicens:	1 The following message came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 “ Audite verbapacti huius et loquimini ad viros Iudae et habitatores Ierusalem.	2 Speak to the men of Judah and to the citizens of Jerusalem,
3 Et dices adeos: Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Maledictus vir, qui non audierit verbapacti huius,	3 saying to them: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not observe the terms of this covenant,
4 quod praecepi patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de terraAegypti, de fornace ferrea, dicens: Audite vocem meam et facite omnia, quaepraecipio vobis, et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum;	4 which I enjoined upon your fathers the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that iron foundry, saying: Listen to my voice and do all that I command you. Then you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
5 utsuscitem iuramentum, quod iuravi patribus vestris, daturum me eis terramfluentem lacte et melle, sicut est dies haec ”. Et respondi et dixi: “ Amen,Domine ”.	5 Thus I will fulfill the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey: the one you have today. "Amen, LORD," I answered.
6 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Vociferare omnia verba haec in civitatibus Iudaeet in foris Ierusalem dicens: Audite verba pacti huius et facite illa.	6 Then the LORD said to me: Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Hear the words of this covenant and obey them.
7 Quiacontestans contestatus sum patres vestros in die, qua eduxi eos de terraAegypti, usque ad diem hanc; mane consurgens contestatus sum et dixi: Auditevocem meam.	7 Urgently and constantly I warned your fathers to obey my voice, from the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even to this day.
8 Et non audierunt nec inclinaverunt aurem suam, sed abieruntunusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali; et induxi super eos omnia verba pactihuius, quod praecepi, ut facerent, et non fecerunt ”.	8 But they did not listen or give ear. Each one followed the hardness of his evil heart, till I brought upon them all the threats of this covenant which they had failed to observe as I commanded them.
9 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Inventa est coniuratio in viris Iudae et inhabitatoribus Ierusalem.	9 A conspiracy has been found, the LORD said to me, among the men of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem.
10 Reversi sunt ad iniquitates patrum suorum priorum,qui noluerunt audire verba mea; et hi ergo abierunt post deos alienos, utservirent eis: irritum fecerunt domus Israel et domus Iudae pactum meum, quodpepigi cum patribus eorum.	10 They have returned to the crimes of their forefathers who refused to obey my words. They also have followed and served strange gods; the covenant which I had made with their fathers, the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken.
11 Quam ob rem haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego inducamsuper eos mala, de quibus exire non poterunt; et clamabunt ad me, et nonexaudiam eos.	11 Therefore, thus says the LORD: See, I bring upon them misfortune which they cannot escape. Though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
12 Et ibunt civitates Iudae et habitatores Ierusalem et clamabuntad deos, quibus sacrificant, et non salvabunt eos in tempore afflictionis eorum.	12 Then the cities of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to which they have been offering incense. But these gods will give them no help whatever when misfortune strikes.
13 Secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui, Iuda, et secundumnumerum viarum Ierusalem posuistis aras confusioni, aras ad sacrificandum Baal.	13 For as numerous as your cities are your gods, O Judah! And as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars for offering sacrifice to Baal.
14 Tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc et ne assumas pro eis deprecationem etorationem, quia non exaudiam in tempore clamoris eorum ad me, in temporeafflictionis eorum.	14 Do not intercede on behalf of this people, nor utter a plea for them. I will not listen when they call to me at the time of their misfortune.
15 Quid est dilectae meae, ut in domo mea perficiat consilia mala? Numquid vota et carnes sanctae auferent a te malitias tuas, in quibus glorieris? ”.	15 What right has my beloved in my house, while she prepares her plots? Can vows and sacred meat turn away your misfortune from you? Will you still be jubilant
16 Olivam uberem, pulchram, fructibus speciosam, vocabit Dominus nomen tuum; ad vocem strepitus grandis succendit ignem in ea, et combusti sunt rami eius.	16 when you hear the great invasion? A spreading olive tree, goodly to behold, the LORD has named you; Now he sets fire to it, its branches burn.
17 Et Dominus exercituum, qui plantavit te, locutus est super te malum, promalis domus Israel et domus Iudae, quae fecerunt sibi ad irritandum me,sacrificantes Baal.	17 The LORD of hosts who planted you has decreed misfortune for you because of the evil done by the house of Israel and by the house of Judah, who provoked me by sacrificing to Baal.
18 Tu autem, Domine, demonstrasti mihi, et cognovi; tunc ostendisti mihi opera eorum.	18 I knew it because the LORD informed me; at that time you, O LORD, showed me their doings.
19 Et ego quasi agnus mansuetus, qui portatur ad victimam; et non cognovi quiasuper me cogitaverunt consilia: “ Caedamus lignum in vigore eius et eradamuseum de terra viventium, et nomen eius non memoretur amplius ”.
20 Tu autem, Domine exercituum, qui iudicas iuste et probas renes et corda: videam ultionem tuam ex eis; tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
21 Propterea haec dicit Dominus super viros Anathoth, qui quaerunt animam tuamet dicunt: “ Non prophetabis in nomine Domini et non morieris in manibusnostris ”.
22 Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum: “ Ecce ego visitabosuper eos: iuvenes morientur in gladio, filii eorum et filiae eorum morientur infame,
23 et reliquiae non erunt eis; inducam enim malum super viros Anathoth,annum visitationis eorum ”.
