NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino in anno decimo Sedeciaeregis Iudae; ipse est annus decimus octavus Nabuchodonosor.	1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which wasthe eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Tunc exercitusregis Babylonis obsidebat Ierusalem, et Ieremias propheta erat clausus in atriocustodiae, qui erat in domo regis Iudae.	2 The army of the king of Babylon was then besieging Jerusalem, and the prophet Jeremiah wasconfined in the Court of the Guard in the king of Judah's palace,
3 Clauserat enim eum Sedecias rex Iudaedicens: “ Quare vaticinaris dicens: “Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego dabocivitatem istam in manu regis Babylonis, et capiet eam;	3 where Zedekiah king of Judah had confined him, saying, 'Why do you keep prophesying like this,"Yahweh says this: I am going to hand this city over to the king of Babylon and he wil capture it;
4 et Sedecias rex Iudaenon effugiet de manu Chaldaeorum, sed tradetur in manus regis Babylonis, etloquetur os eius cum ore illius, et oculi eius oculos illius videbunt;	4 and Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape the clutches of the Chaldaeans, but will certainly behanded over to the king of Babylon, speak to him personally and see him face to face.
5 et inBabylonem ducet Sedeciam, et ibi erit, donec visitem eum, ait Dominus; si autemdimicaveritis adversum Chaldaeos, nihil prosperum habebitis”? ”.	5 He wil take Zedekiah away to Babylon and there he wil stay (until I attend to him, Yahweh declares. Ifyou fight the Chaldaeans you will not succeed!)" '
6 Et dixit Ieremias: “ Factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	6 Jeremiah said, 'The word of Yahweh has been addressed to me as fol ows,
7 Ecce Hanameelfilius Sellum patruelis tuus veniet ad te dicens: “Eme tibi agrum meum, quiest in Anathoth; tibi enim competit ex propinquitate, ut emas”.	7 "Look, Hanamel the son of your uncle Shal um wil come to you and say: Buy my field at Anathoth, foryou have the right of redemption to purchase it."
8 Et venit adme Hanameel filius patrui mei secundum verbum Domini ad vestibulum custodiae etait ad me: “Posside agrum meum, qui est in Anathoth in terra Beniamin, quiatibi competit hereditas, et tu propinquus es, ut possideas”. Intellexi autemquod verbum Domini esset	8 And, as Yahweh had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me, in the Court of the Guard and said, "Buymy field at Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin, for you have the right of inheritance and right of redemption; buyit." I knew then that this was Yahweh's order.
9 et emi agrum ab Hanameel filio patrui mei, qui est inAnathoth, et appendi ei argentum: septem et decem siclos argenteos.	9 Accordingly, I bought the field from my cousin Hanamel of Anathoth and weighed him out the money:seventeen silver shekels.
10 Etscripsi in libro et signavi et adhibui testes et appendi argentum in statera.	10 I drew up the deeds and sealed it, cal ed in witnesses and weighed out the money on the scales.
11 Et accepi librum possessionis signatum, continentem stipulationes et rata, etapertum;	11 I then took both the sealed deed of purchase (with its stipulations and clauses) and its open copy
12 et dedi librum possessionis Baruch filio Neriae filii Maasiae inoculis Hanameel patruelis mei et in oculis testium, qui obsignaverant in libroemptionis, et in oculis omnium Iudaeorum, qui sedebant in atrio custodiae.	12 and handed over the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, in the presence ofmy cousin Hanamel, of the witnesses who had signed the deed of purchase, and of al the Judaeans who thenhappened to be in the Court of the Guard.
13 Etpraecepi Baruch coram eis dicens:	13 In their presence I gave Baruch this order,
14 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel:Sume libros istos, librum emptionis hunc signatum et librum hunc, qui apertusest; et pones illos in vase fictili, ut permanere possint diebus multis.	14 "Yahweh Sabaoth, God of Israel, says this: Take these deeds, the sealed deed of purchase and itsopen copy, and put them in an earthenware pot, so that they may be preserved for a long time.
15 Haecenim dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Adhuc possidebuntur domus et agri etvineae in terra ista.	15 For Yahweh Sabaoth, God of Israel, says this: Houses, fields and vineyards wil again be bought inthis country."
16 Et oravi ad Dominum, postquam tradidi librum possessionis Baruch filioNeriae, dicens:	16 'After I had entrusted the deed of purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to Yahweh as fol ows,
17 Heu, Domine Deus, ecce tu fecisti caelum et terram infortitudine tua magna et in brachio tuo extento; non erit tibi difficile omneverbum,	17 "Ah, Lord Yahweh, you made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm.To you nothing is impossible.
18 qui facis misericordiam in milibus et reddis iniquitatem patrum insinum filiorum eorum post eos; Deus magne, potens, Dominus exercituum nomeneius:	18 You show faithful love to thousands but repay the fathers' guilt in full to their children after them. Greatand mighty God, whose name is Yahweh Sabaoth,
19 magnus consilio et potens in operibus, cuius oculi aperti sunt superomnes vias filiorum Adam, ut reddas unicuique secundum vias suas et secundumfructum operum eius.	19 great in purpose, mighty in deed, whose eyes are open on al human ways, rewarding every individualas that person's ways and actions deserve!
20 Qui posuisti signa et portenta in terra Aegypti usque addiem hanc et in Israel et in hominibus; et fecisti tibi nomen, sicut est dieshaec.	20 You performed signs and wonders in Egypt, as you stil do in Israel and among humanity today. Youhave won the name for yourself which is yours today.
21 Et eduxisti populum tuum Israel de terra Aegypti in signis et inportentis et in manu robusta et in brachio extento et in terrore magno.	21 You brought your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and wonders, with mighty hand andoutstretched arm and fearsome terror.
22 Etdedisti eis terram hanc, quam iurasti patribus eorum, ut dares eis, terramfluentem lacte et melle.	22 Then you gave them this country which you had promised on oath to their ancestors, a countryflowing with milk and honey.
23 Et ingressi sunt et possederunt eam; et nonoboedierunt voci tuae et in lege tua non ambulaverunt: omnia, quae mandasti eis,ut facerent, non fecerunt; et occurrere fecisti eis omnia mala haec.	23 They then entered it, taking possession of it, but they would not listen to your voice nor follow yourLaw: they would do nothing you ordered them to do; and so you made this total disaster befall them.
24 Eccemunitiones exstructae sunt adversum civitatem, ut capiatur, et urbs data est inmanu Chaldaeorum, qui proeliantur adversus eam, in gladio et fame etpestilentia; et quaecumque locutus es, acciderunt, ut tu ipse cernis.	24 Look! The earthworks are already in place to take the city and, by means of sword, famine andplague, the city is now within the clutches of the Chaldaeans attacking it. What you said has now come true, asyou see.
25 Et tudicis mihi, Domine Deus: Eme agrum argento et adhibe testes, cum urbs data sitin manu Chaldaeorum ”.	25 Yet you yourself, Lord Yahweh, told me: Buy the field, pay for it, have it witnessed although the city isalready in the Chaldaeans' clutches." '
26 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam dicens:	26 The word of Yahweh was addressed to me as fol ows,
27 “ Ecce ego Dominus, Deusuniversae carnis; numquid mihi difficile erit omne verbum?	27 'Look, I am Yahweh, God of al humanity. Is anything impossible to me?
28 Propterea haecdicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem istam in manus Chaldaeorum et in manusregis Babylonis, et capiet eam.	28 'So, Yahweh says this, "I shal hand this city over to the Chaldaeans and to Nebuchadnezzar king ofBabylon, and he wil capture it;
29 Et venient Chaldaei proeliantes adversumurbem hanc et succendent eam igni et comburent eam et domos, in quarum domatibussacrificabant Baal et libabant diis alienis libamina ad irritandum me.	29 the Chaldaeans attacking this city wil enter it, fire it and burn it to the ground, with the houses onwhose roofs incense has been offered to Baal and libations poured to other gods, to provoke my anger.
30 Erantenim filii Israel et filii Iudae iugiter facientes malum in oculis meis abadulescentia sua, filii Israel, qui usque nunc exacerbant me in opere manuumsuarum, dicit Dominus.	30 For the people of Israel and Judah alike have done nothing but what displeases me since they wereyoung. (The people of Israel in fact have done nothing but provoke my anger by their actions, Yahweh declares.)
31 Quia in furorem et in indignationem meam facta estmihi civitas haec a die, qua aedificaverunt eam, usque ad diem istam, quaauferetur de conspectu meo	31 Yes, from the day when this city was built until today, it has been such cause of anger and wrath tome that I mean to remove it from my sight,
32 propter omnem malitiam filiorum Israel et filiorumIudae, quam fecerunt, ad iracundiam me provocantes, ipsi et reges eorum,principes eorum et sacerdotes eorum et prophetae eorum, viri Iudae ethabitatores Ierusalem.	32 on account of al the wickedness the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done to provokemy anger; they, their kings, their chief men, their priests, their prophets, the people of Judah and the inhabitantsof Jerusalem.
33 Et verterunt ad me terga et non facies, cum doceremeos diluculo consurgens et erudiens, et nollent audire, ut acciperentdisciplinam.	33 They turned to me their backs, never their faces; and though I taught them so urgently, so untiringly,they would not listen and accept correction.
34 Et posuerunt idola sua in domo, super quam invocatum est nomenmeum, ut polluerent eam;	34 Instead, they set up their Horrors in the Temple that bears my name to defile it,
35 et aedificaverunt excelsa Baal, quae sunt in valleBenennom, ut initiarent filios suos et filias suas Moloch; quod non mandavi eis,nec ascendit in cor meum, ut facerent abominationem hanc et in peccatumdeducerent Iudam ”.	35 and built the high places of Baal in the Val ey of Ben-Hinnom, to burn their sons and daughters alivein honour of Molech: a thing I have never ordered, that had never entered my thoughts -- that they would causeJudah to sin by anything so loathsome!
36 Et nunc propter ista, haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel, ad civitatem hanc, dequa vos dicitis quod tradatur in manus regis Babylonis in gladio et in fame etin peste:	36 "So now, this is what Yahweh, God of Israel, says about this city of which you now say: By means ofsword, famine and plague, it is already within the king of Babylon's clutches:
37 “ Ecce ego congregabo eos de universis terris, ad quas eieci eosin furore meo et in ira mea et in indignatione grandi; et reducam eos ad locumistum et habitare eos faciam confidenter.	37 Look, I shall gather them in from al the countries where I have driven them in my anger, my fury andgreat wrath. I shal bring them back to this place and make them live in safety.
38 Et erunt mihi in populum, et egoero eis in Deum.	38 Then they will be my people, and I shall be their God.
39 Et dabo eis cor unum et viam unam, ut timeant me universisdiebus, et bene sit eis et filiis eorum post eos.	39 I shal give them singleness of heart and singleness of conduct so that they wil always fear me, fortheir own good and that of their children after them.
40 Et feriam eis pactumsempiternum et non desinam eis benefacere et timorem meum dabo in corde eorum,ut non recedant a me.	40 I shal make an everlasting covenant with them, never to cease in my efforts for their welfare, and Ishall put respect for me in their hearts, so that they wil never turn away from me again.
41 Et laetabor super eis, cum bene eis fecero, et plantaboeos in terra ista in veritate, in toto corde meo et in tota anima mea.	41 My joy wil lie in them and in doing them good, and I shal plant them firmly in this country, with al myheart and soul.
42 Quiahaec dicit Dominus: Sicut adduxi super populum istum omne malum hoc grande, sicadducam super eos omne bonum, quod ego loquor ad eos,	42 For Yahweh says this: Just as I have brought this complete and total disaster on this people, so I shalbring them al the good things I have promised them.
43 et possidebuntur agriin terra ista, de qua vos dicitis quod deserta sit, eo quod non remanserit homoet iumentum, et data sit in manu Chaldaeorum.	43 Fields wil again be bought in this country of which you now say: It is a wasteland without human oranimal, already in the clutches of the Chaldaeans.
44 Agri ementur pecunia etscribentur in libro, et imprimetur signum, et testes adhibebuntur in terraBeniamin et in circuitu Ierusalem, in civitatibus Iudae et in civitatibusmontanis et in civitatibus Sephelae et in civitatibus, quae ad austrum sunt,quia convertam sortem eorum ”, ait Dominus.	44 People wil buy fields, pay money, draw up deeds, seal them and have them witnessed in the territoryof Benjamin, in the districts round Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah, of the highlands, of the lowlands and of theNegeb. For I shal bring back their captives, Yahweh declares." '
