NOVA VULGATARevised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Haec dicit Dominus: “ Vade et eme lagunculam figuli testeam et accipede senioribus populi et de senioribus sacerdotum1 Thus said the LORD, "Go, buy a potter's earthen flask, and take some of the elders of the people and some of the senior priests,
2 et egredere ad vallemBenennom, quae est iuxta introitum portae Fictilium, et praedicabis ibi verba,quae ego loquar ad te,2 and go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom at the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I tell you.
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 You shall say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon this place that the ears of every one who hears of it will 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 the people have forsaken me, and have profaned this place by burning incense in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; and because 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 have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as burnt offerings to Baal, which I did not command or decree, nor did it 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, days are coming, says the LORD, when this place shall no more be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, 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 in this place I will make void the plans of Judah and Jerusalem, and will cause their people to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the air and to 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 a horror, a thing to be hissed at; every one who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters.
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 make them eat the flesh of their sons and their daughters, and every one shall eat the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies and those who seek their life afflict them.'
10 Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum, qui ibunt tecum,10 "Then you shall break the flask in the sight of the men who go with you,
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 shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: So will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, so that it can never be mended. Men shall bury in Topheth because there will be no place else to bury.
12 Sic faciamloco huic, ait Dominus, et habitatoribus eius, ut ponam civitatem istam sicutTopheth;12 Thus will I do to this place, says the LORD, and to its inhabitants, making this city like 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 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah--all the houses upon whose roofs incense has been burned to all the host of heaven, and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods--shall be defiled like the place of Topheth.'"
14 Venit autem Ieremias de Topheth, quo miserat eum Dominus ad prophetandum, etstetit in atrio domus Domini et dixit ad omnem populum:14 Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the LORD's house, and said to all the 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their neck, refusing to hear my words."
