Geremia 16

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Et factum est verbum Domi ni ad me dicens:	1 This message came to me from the LORD:
2 “ Non acci pies uxorem,et non erunt tibi filii et filiae in loco isto.	2 Do not marry any woman; you shall not have sons or 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 says the LORD concerning the sons and daughters who will be born in this place, the mothers who will give them birth, the fathers who will beget them 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 Of deadly disease they shall die. Unlamented and unburied they will lie like dung on the ground. Sword and famine will make an end of them, and their corpses will become food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field.
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 Go not into a house of mourning, the LORD continued: go not there to lament or offer sympathy. For I have withdrawn my friendship from this people, says the LORD, my kindness and my pity.
6 Et morientur grandes et parvi in terra ista, non sepelienturneque plangentur, et non se incident, neque calvitium fiet pro eis.	6 They shall die, the great and the lowly, in this land, and shall go unburied and unlamented. No one will gash himself or shave his head for them.
7 Et nonfrangent lugenti panem ad consolandum super mortuo et non dabunt ei calicem adconsolandum super patre suo et matre.	7 They will not break bread with the bereaved to console them in their bereavement; they will not give them the cup of consolation to drink over the death of father or mother.
8 Et domum convivii non ingredieris, utsedeas cum eis et comedas et bibas.	8 Enter not a house where people are celebrating, to sit with them eating and drinking.
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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Before your very eyes and during your lifetime I will silence from this place the cry of joy and the cry 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 When you proclaim all these words to this people and they ask you: "Why has the LORD pronounced all these great evils against us? What is our crime? What sin have we committed 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 you shall answer them: It is because your fathers have forsaken me, says the LORD, and followed strange gods, which they served and worshiped; but me they have forsaken, and my law they have not observed.
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 have done worse than your fathers. Here you are, every one of you, walking in the hardness of his evil heart instead of listening 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 I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known; there you can serve strange gods day and night, because I will not grant you my mercy.
14 Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et non dicetur ultra: “VivitDominus, qui eduxit filios Israel de terra Aegypti!”,	14 However, days will surely come, says the LORD, when it will no longer be said, "As the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites out 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 rather, "As the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of the north and out of all the countries to which he had banished them." I will bring them back to the land which I gave 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 Look! I will send many fishermen, says the LORD, to catch them. After that, I will send many hunters to hunt them out from every mountain and hill and from the clefts 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 hidden from me, nor does their guilt escape my view.
18 Et reddam primum dupliciter iniquitates et peccata eorum, quiacontaminaverunt terram meam in morticinis idolorum suorum et abominationibussuis impleverunt hereditatem meam ”.	18 I will at once repay them double for their crime and their sin of profaning my land with their detestable corpses of idols, and filling my heritage 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 strength, my fortress, my refuge in the day of distress! To you will the nations come from the ends of the earth, and say, "Mere frauds are the heritage of our fathers, empty idols of no use."
20 Numquid faciet sibi homo deos, et ipsi non sunt dii?	20 Can man make for himself gods? These are not gods.
21 “ Idcirco ecce ego ostendam eis per vicem hanc, ostendam eis manum meam et virtutem meam, et scient quia nomen mihi Dominus ”. 21 Look, then: I will give them knowledge; this time I will leave them in no doubt Of my strength and my power: they shall know that my name is LORD.
