NOVA VULGATADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Vade et eme lagunculam figuli testeam et accipede senioribus populi et de senioribus sacerdotum1 Thus saith the Lord: Go, and take a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests:
2 et egredere ad vallemBenennom, quae est iuxta introitum portae Fictilium, et praedicabis ibi verba,quae ego loquar ad te,2 And go forth into the valley of the son of Ennom, which is by the entry of the earthen gate: and there thou shalt proclaim the words that I shall tell thee.
3 et dices: Audite verbum Domini, reges Iudae ethabitatores Ierusalem: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Ecce egoinducam afflictionem super locum istum, ita ut omnis, qui audierit illam,tinniant aures eius,3 And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O ye kings of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring an affliction upon this place: so that whoever shall hear it, his ears shall tingle:
4 eo quod dereliquerint me et alienum fecerint locum istumet sacrificaverint in eo diis alienis, quos nescierunt ipsi et patres eorum etreges Iudae; et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentium;4 Because they have forsaken me, and have profaned this place: and have sacrificed therein to strange gods, whom neither they nor their fathers knew, nor the kings of Juda: and they have filled this place with the blood of innocents.
5 etaedificaverunt excelsa Baal ad comburendos filios suos igne in holocaustum Baal:quae non praecepi nec locutus sum, nec ascenderunt in cor meum.5 And they have built the high places of Baalim, to burn their children with fire for a holocaust to Baalim: which I did not command, nor speak of, neither did it once come into my mind.
6 Propterea eccedies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et non vocabitur amplius locus iste Topheth etvallis Benennom sed vallis Occisionis.6 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom, but the valley of slaughter.
7 Et dissipabo consilium Iudae etIerusalem in loco isto; et subvertam eos gladio in conspectu inimicorum suorumet in manu quaerentium animas eorum et dabo cadavera eorum escam volatilibuscaeli et bestiis terrae.7 And I will defeat the counsel of Juda and of Jerusalem in this place: and I will destroy them with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their carcasses to be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 Et ponam civitatem hanc in stuporem et in sibilum;omnis, qui praeterierit per eam, obstupescet et sibilabit super universa plagaeius.8 And I will make this city an astonishent, and a hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 Et cibabo eos carnibus filiorum suorum et carnibus filiarum suarum; etunusquisque carnem amici sui comedet in obsidione et in angustia, in quaconcludent eos inimici eorum et qui quaerunt animas eorum.9 And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons, and with the flesh of their daughters: and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege, and in the distress wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives shall straiten them.
10 Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum, qui ibunt tecum,10 And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that shall go with thee.
11 et dices adeos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Sic conteram populum istum et civitatemistam, sicut conteritur vas figuli, quod non potest ultra instaurari; et inTopheth sepelientur, eo quod non sit alius locus ad sepeliendum.11 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: even so will I break this people, and this city, as the potter's vessel is broken, which cannot be made whole again: and they shall be buried in Topheth, because there is no other place to bury in.
12 Sic faciamloco huic, ait Dominus, et habitatoribus eius, ut ponam civitatem istam sicutTopheth;12 Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I will make this city as Topheth.
13 et erunt domus Ierusalem et domus regum Iudae sicut locus Topheth,immundae: omnes domus, in quarum domatibus sacrificaverunt omni militiae caeliet libaverunt libamina diis alienis ”.13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of Juda shall be unclean as the place of Topheth: all the houses upon whose roots they have sacrificed to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to strange gods.
14 Venit autem Ieremias de Topheth, quo miserat eum Dominus ad prophetandum, etstetit in atrio domus Domini et dixit ad omnem populum:14 Then Jeremias came from Topheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophecy, and he stood in the court of the house of the Lord, and said to all people:
15 “ Haec dicitDominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam super civitatem hanc et superomnes urbes eius universa mala, quae locutus sum adversum eam, quoniaminduraverunt cervicem suam, ut non audirent sermones meos ”.
15 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring in upon this city, and upon all the cities thereof all the evils that I have spoken against it: because they have hardened their necks, and they might not hear my words.
