1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam de omni populo Iudae in anno quartoIoachim filii Iosiae regis Iudae — ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regisBabylonis —	1 The word that was addressed to Jeremiah about al the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakimson of Josiah, king of Judah (that is to say the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon).
2 quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad omnem populum Iudae et aduniversos habitatores Ierusalem dicens:	2 The prophet Jeremiah proclaimed it before al the people of Judah and al the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
3 “ A tertio decimo anno Iosiae filii Amon regis Iudae usque ad diem hanc,iste tertius et vicesimus est annus, factum est verbum Domini ad me, et locutussum ad vos de nocte consurgens et loquens, et non audistis.	3 'For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, until today, theword of Yahweh has been addressed to me and I have never tired of speaking to you (but you have not listened.
4 Et misit Dominusad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo mittensque; et nonaudistis neque inclinastis aures vestras, ut audiretis,	4 Furthermore, Yahweh has untiringly sent you al his servants the prophets, but you have not listened orpaid attention).
5 cum diceret: “Revertiminiunusquisque a via sua mala et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris, et habitabitisin terra, quam dedit Dominus vobis et patribus vestris, a saeculo et usque insaeculum;	5 The message was this, "Turn back, each one of you, from your evil behaviour and your evil actions,and you wil go on living on the soil Yahweh long ago gave to you and your ancestors for ever.
6 et nolite ire post deos alienos, ut serviatis eis adoretisque eos,neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum, et non affligamvos.	6 (And do not fol ow other gods to serve and worship them, do not provoke me with things youyourselves have made, and then I shall not harm you.)
7 Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis inoperibus manuum vestrarum, in malum vestrum”.	7 But you have not listened to me (Yahweh declares, so that you have now provoked me with things youyourselves have made, and thus harmed yourselves)."
8 Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea,	8 'So-this is what Yahweh Sabaoth says, "Since you have not listened to my words,
9 ecce ego mittam et assumam universas cognationes aquilonis, ait Dominus, etNabuchodonosor regem Babylonis, servum meum, et adducam eos super terram istamet super habitatores eius et super omnes nationes, quae in circuitu illius sunt;et interficiam eos et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum et in ruinassempiternas.	9 I shal now send for al the families of the north (Yahweh declares, that is, for Nebuchadnezzar king ofBabylon, my servant) and bring them down on this country and its inhabitants (and on al these surroundingnations); I shal curse them with utter destruction and make them an object of horror, of scorn, and ruin them for ever.
10 Perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae, vocem sponsiet vocem sponsae, vocem molae et lumen lucernae,	10 From them I shall banish the shouts of rejoicing and mirth, the voices of bridegroom and bride, thesound of the handmil and the light of the lamp;
11 et erit universa terra haecin solitudinem et in stuporem, et servient omnes gentes istae regi Babylonisseptuaginta annis.	11 and this whole country will be reduced to ruin and desolation, and these nations will be enslaved tothe king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 Cumque impleti fuerint septuaginta anni, visitabo superregem Babylonis et super gentem illam, dicit Dominus, iniquitatem eorum et superterram Chaldaeorum; et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas.	12 (But when the seventy years are over, I shall punish the king of Babylon and that nation, Yahwehdeclares, for the wrong they have done, that is, the country of the Chaldaeans, and make it desolate for ever),
13 Et adducamsuper terram illam omnia verba mea, quae locutus sum contra eam, omne, quodscriptum est in libro isto, quaecumque prophetavit Ieremias adversum omnesgentes.	13 and against that country I shal perform al the words with which I have threatened it, that is,everything written in this book." '
14 Quia servient eis etiam illi, gentes multae et reges magni, et reddameis secundum opera eorum et secundum facta manuum suarum ”.	14 What Jeremiah prophesied against al the nations. ('For these in their turn are to be enslaved topowerful nations and great kings, and I shal pay them back as their deeds and handiwork deserve.')
15 Quia sic dicit Dominus, Deus Israel, ad me: “ Sume calicem vini furorishuius de manu mea et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus, ad quas ego mittam te;	15 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, said this to me, 'Take this cup of the wine of wrath and make al thenations to whom I send you drink it;
16 et bibent et turbabuntur et insanient a facie gladii, quem ego mittam intereos ”.	16 they wil drink and reel and lose their wits, because of the sword I am sending among them.'
17 Et accepi calicem de manu Domini et propinavi cunctis gentibus, ad quas misitme Dominus,	17 I took the cup from Yahweh's hand and made al the nations to whom Yahweh sent me drink it
18 Ierusalem et civitatibus Iudae et regibus eius et principibuseius, ut darem eos in solitudinem et in stuporem, in sibilum et inmaledictionem, sicut est dies ista;	18 (Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and its chief men, to make them a ruin, an object ofhorror and derision and a curse, as is the case today):
19 pharaoni regi Aegypti et servis eius etprincipibus eius et omni populo eius;	19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his chief men and al his people,
20 et omni vulgo promiscuo et cunctisregibus terrae Us et cunctis regibus terrae Philisthim et Ascaloni et Gazae etAccaroni et reliquiis Azoti,	20 with the whole conglomeration of peoples there (al the kings of the country of Uz); al the kings of thecountry of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and what is stil left of Ashdod;

(As for the king of Sheshak, he wil drink last of all.)
27 “ Et dices ad eos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Bibite etinebriamini et vomite; et cadite neque surgatis a facie gladii, quem ego mittaminter vos.	27 'You wil say to them, "Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, says this: Drink! Get drunk! Vomit! Fall,never to rise again, before the sword that I am sending among you!"
28 Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua, ut bibant, dices adeos: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Bibentes bibetis;	28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, you wil say to them, "Yahweh Sabaoth saysthis: You must drink!
29 quia ecce in civitate,super quam invocatum est nomen meum, ego incipio affligere, et vos immuneseritis? Non eritis immunes; gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatoresterrae, dicit Dominus exercituum.	29 Look, for a start, I am bringing disaster on the city that bears my name, so are you likely to gounpunished? You certainly wil not go unpunished, for next I shal summon a sword against al the inhabitants ofthe land, Yahweh declares."
30 Et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba haec et dices ad illos: Dominus de excelso rugiet et de habitaculo sancto suo dabit vocem suam; rugiens rugiet super pascua sua, celeuma quasi calcantium concinetur adversus omnes habitatores terrae.	30 'For your part, you are to prophesy al these words to them. Say to them: "Yahweh roars from on high,he thunders from his holy dwel ing-place, loudly he roars at his own fold, shouts aloud like those who tread thegrape at all the inhabitants of the land.
31 Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terrae, quia iudicium Domino cum gentibus; in iudicium venit ipse cum omni carne; impios tradidit gladio, dicit Dominus.	31 The noise resounds to the remotest parts of the earth. For Yahweh is indicting the nations, arraigningal humanity for judgement; the wicked he assigns to the sword, Yahweh declares.
32 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce afflictio egreditur de gente in gentem, et turbo magnus surgit a summitatibus terrae ”.	32 Yahweh Sabaoth says this: Look, disaster is spreading from nation to nation, a mighty tempest isrising from the far ends of the earth.
33 Et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa a summo terrae usque ad summum eius;non plangentur et non colligentur neque sepelientur: in sterquilinium superfaciem terrae erunt.	33 "Those slaughtered by Yahweh that day wil be scattered across the world from end to end. No dirgewil be raised for them; no one wil gather them or bury them; they will stay lying on the surface like dung.
34 Ululate, pastores, et clamate; et volutamini vos in pulvere, optimates gregis, quia completi sunt dies vestri ad occisionem et ad dispersionem vestram, et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa.	34 "Howl, shepherds, shriek, roll on the ground, you lords of the flock, for your days have come to beslaughtered and to be scattered, and like a choice vase you will fal .
35 Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.	35 No refuge then for the shepherds, no escape for the lords of the flock!
36 Vox clamoris pastorum et ululatus optimatium gregis, quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum.	36 Listen! A shriek from the shepherds, a howl from the lords of the flock! For Yahweh has laid theirpasture waste,
37 Et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie irae furoris Domini.	37 the peaceful sheepfolds are reduced to silence owing to Yahweh's furious anger.
38 Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem, a facie irae violentae et a facie irae furoris Domini.	38 The lion has left his lair and their country is a wasteland now, owing to the devastating fury, owing tohis furious anger." '
