Geremia 16

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et factum est verbum Domi ni ad me dicens:	1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “ Non acci pies uxorem,et non erunt tibi filii et filiae in loco isto.	2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have thee sons and daughters in this place.
3 Quia haec dicit Dominus superfilios et filias, qui generantur in loco isto, et super matres eorum, quaegenuerunt eos, et super patres eorum, de quorum stirpe sunt nati in terra hac:	3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and daughters, that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bore them: and concerning their fathers, of whom they were born in this land:
4 Mortibus aegrotationum morientur, non plangentur et non sepelientur; insterquilinium super faciem terrae erunt et gladio et fame consumentur, et eritcadaver eorum in escam volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae ”.	4 They shall die by the death of grievous illnesses: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be buried, they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed with the sword, and with famine: and their carcasses shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth.
5 Haec enimdixit Dominus: “Ne ingrediaris domum convivii neque vadas ad plangendum nequelugebis eos, quia abstuli pacem meam a populo isto, dicit Dominus, misericordiamet miserationes.	5 For thus saith the Lord: Enter not into the house of feasting, neither go thou to mourn, nor to comfort them: because I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, my mercy and commiserations.
6 Et morientur grandes et parvi in terra ista, non sepelienturneque plangentur, et non se incident, neque calvitium fiet pro eis.	6 Both the great and the little shall die in the land: they shall not be buried nor lamented, and men shall not cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them.
7 Et nonfrangent lugenti panem ad consolandum super mortuo et non dabunt ei calicem adconsolandum super patre suo et matre.	7 And they shall not break bread among them to him that mourneth, to comfort him for the dead: neither shall they give them to drink of the cup, to comfort them for their father and mother.
8 Et domum convivii non ingredieris, utsedeas cum eis et comedas et bibas.	8 And do not thou go into the house of feasting, to sit with them, and to eat and drink.
9 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum, DeusIsrael: Ecce ego auferam de loco isto in oculis vestris et in diebus vestrisvocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsae.	9 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will take away out of this place in your sight, and in your days the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
10 Et cum annuntiaveris populo huic omnia verba haec, et dixerint tibi: “Quarelocutus est Dominus super nos omne malum grande istud? Quae iniquitas nostra etquod peccatum nostrum, quod peccavimus Domino Deo nostro?”,	10 And when thou shalt tell this people all these words, and they shall say to thee: Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced against us all this great evil? what is our iniquity? and what is our sin, that we have sinned against the Lord our God?
11 dices ad eos:Quia dereliquerunt me patres vestri, ait Dominus, et abierunt post deos alienoset servierunt eis et adoraverunt eos et me dereliquerunt et legem meam noncustodierunt.	11 Thou shalt say to them: Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord: and went after strange gods, and served them, and adored them: and they forsook me, and kept not my law.
12 Sed et vos peius operati estis quam patres vestri: ecce enimambulat unusquisque post pravitatem cordis sui mali, ut me non audiat.	12 And you also have done worse than your fathers: for behold every one of you walketh after the perverseness of his evil heart, so as not to hearken to me.
13 Eteiciam vos de terra hac in terram, quam ignoratis, vos et patres vestri; etservietis ibi diis alienis, die ac nocte, quia non dabo vobis gratiam.	13 So I will cast you forth out of this land, into a land which you know not, nor you fathers: and there you shall serve strange gods day and night, which shall not give you any rest.
14 Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et non dicetur ultra: “VivitDominus, qui eduxit filios Israel de terra Aegypti!”,	14 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, when it shall be said no more: The Lord liveth, that brought for the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt:
15 sed: “VivitDominus, qui eduxit filios Israel de terra aquilonis et de universis terris, adquas eieci eos!”. Et reducam eos in terram suam, quam dedi patribus eorum.	15 But, the Lord liveth, that brought the children of Israel out of the land of the north, and out of all the lands to which I cast them out: and I will bring them again into their land, which I gave to their fathers.
16 Ecce ego mittam piscatores multos, dicit Dominus, et piscabuntur eos; et posthaec mittam eis multos venatores, et venabuntur eos de omni monte et de omnicolle et de cavernis petrarum.	16 Behold I will send many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them: and after this I will send them many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
17 Quia oculi mei super omnes vias eorum: nonsunt absconditae a facie mea, et non est occulta iniquitas eorum ab oculis meis.	17 For my eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, and their iniquity hath not been hid from my eyes.
18 Et reddam primum dupliciter iniquitates et peccata eorum, quiacontaminaverunt terram meam in morticinis idolorum suorum et abominationibussuis impleverunt hereditatem meam ”.	18 And I will repay first their double iniquities, and their sins: because they have defiled my land with the carcasses of their idols, and they have filled my inheritance with their abominations.
19 Domine, fortitudo mea et praesidium meum et refugium meum in die tribulationis; ad te gentes venient ab extremis terrae et dicent: “ Vere mendacium possederunt patres nostri, vanitatem, quae nihil prodest ”.	19 O Lord, my might, and my strength, and my refuge in the day of tribulation: to thee the Gentiles shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say: Surely our fathers have possessed lies, a vanity which hath not profited them.
20 Numquid faciet sibi homo deos, et ipsi non sunt dii?	20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and there are no gods?
21 “ Idcirco ecce ego ostendam eis per vicem hanc, ostendam eis manum meam et virtutem meam, et scient quia nomen mihi Dominus ”. 21 Therefore, behold I will this once cause them to know, I will shew them my hand and my power: and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
