NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et audivit Phassur filius Em mer sacerdos, qui constitutus erat princepsin domo Domini, Ieremiam prophetantem sermones istos;	1 And Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who had been appointed leader in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words.
2 et percussit PhassurIeremiam prophetam et misit eum in nervum, quod erat in porta Beniamin superiorein domo Domini.	2 And Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah, and he sent him to the stocks, which were at the upper gate of Benjamin at the house of the Lord.
3 Cumque illuxisset in crastinum, eduxit Phassur Ieremiam denervo; et dixit ad eum Ieremias: “ Non Phassur vocavit Dominus nomen tuum sedPavorem undique.	3 And when it had become light on the next day, Pashhur led Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him: “The Lord has not called your name: ‘Pashhur,’ but instead: ‘Fear all around.’ ”
4 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabo te in pavorem, te etomnes amicos tuos, et corruent gladio inimicorum suorum, et oculi tui videbunt;et omnem Iudam dabo in manu regis Babylonis, et traducet eos in Babylonem etpercutiet eos gladio.	4 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will give you over to fear, you and all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. And I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will lead them away to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
5 Et dabo universam substantiam civitatis huius et omnemlaborem eius omneque pretium et cunctos thesauros regum Iudae dabo in manuinimicorum eorum; et diripient eos et tollent et ducent in Babylonem.	5 And I will give away the entire substance of this city, and all its labor, and every precious thing. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies. And they will plunder them, and take them away, and lead them into Babylon.
6 Tuautem, Phassur et omnes habitatores domus tuae, ibitis in captivitatem; et inBabylonem venies et ibi morieris ibique sepelieris, tu et omnes amici tui,quibus prophetasti mendacium ”.	6 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house, will go into captivity. And you will go to Babylon. And there you shall die. And there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied a lie.”
7 Seduxisti me, Domine, et seductus sum; fortior me fuisti et invaluisti. Factus sum in derisum tota die, omnes subsannant me.	7 “You have led me away, O Lord, and I have been led away. You have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a derision all day long; everyone mocks me.
8 Quia quotiescumque loquor, vociferor, iniquitatem et vastitatem clamito; et factus est mihi sermo Domini in opprobrium et in derisum tota die.	8 For I speak now as I have long spoken: crying out against iniquity and proclaiming devastation. And the word of the Lord has been made into a reproach against me and a derision, all day long.
9 Et dixi: “ Non recordabor eius neque loquar ultra in nomine illius ”. Et factus est in corde meo quasi ignis exaestuans claususque in ossibus meis: et defeci, ferre non sustinens.	9 Then I said: I will not call him to mind, nor will I speak any longer in his name. And my heart became like a raging fire, enclosed within my bones. And I became weary of continuing to bear it.
10 Audivi enim contumelias multorum et terrorem in circuitu: “ Denuntiate, et denuntiemus eum ”. Omnes pacifici mei observabant lapsum meum: “ Forte decipietur, et praevalebimus adversus eum et consequemur ultionem ex eo ”.	10 For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’
11 Dominus autem mecum est quasi bellator fortis; idcirco, qui persequuntur me, cadent et infirmi erunt. Confundentur vehementer, quia non prosperati sunt; opprobrium sempiternum, quod numquam delebitur.	11 But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.
12 Et tu, Domine exercituum, probator iusti, qui vides renes et cor, videam, quaeso, ultionem tuam ex eis; tibi enim revelavi causam meam.	12 And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.
13 Cantate Domino, laudate Dominum, quia liberavit animam pauperis de manu malorum.	13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.
14 Maledicta dies, in qua natus sum; dies, in qua peperit me mater mea, non sit benedicta.	14 Cursed is the day on which I was born! The day on which my mother gave birth to me: let it not be blessed!
15 Maledictus vir, qui annuntiavit patri meo dicens: “ Natus est tibi puer masculus ” et gaudio laetificavit eum;	15 Cursed is the man who announced it to my father, saying, ‘A male child has been born to you,’ causing him to rejoice with gladness.
16 sit homo ille, ut sunt civitates, quas subvertit Dominus et non paenituit eum: audiat clamorem mane et ululatum in tempore meridiano,	16 Let that man be like the cities that the Lord has overthrown without regret. Let him hear an outcry in the morning, and wailing at the time of midday!
17 qui non me interfecit a vulva, ut fieret mihi mater mea sepulcrum, et vulva eius conceptus aeternus.	17 So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!
18 Quare de vulva egressus sum, ut viderem laborem et dolorem, et consumerentur in confusione dies mei?	18 Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”
