NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah. The same is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Tunc exercitusregis Babylonis obsidebat Ierusalem, et Ieremias propheta erat clausus in atriocustodiae, qui erat in domo regis Iudae.	2 It was then that the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah, the prophet, was confined to the atrium of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
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 For Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying: “Why do you make predictions, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will 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, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans. Instead, he will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. And he will speak to him, mouth to mouth, and he will see him, eye to eye.
5 et inBabylonem ducet Sedeciam, et ibi erit, donec visitem eum, ait Dominus; si autemdimicaveritis adversum Chaldaeos, nihil prosperum habebitis”? ”.	5 And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon. And he will be there until I visit him, says the Lord. So then, if you contend against the Chaldeans, you will have no success.’ ”
6 Et dixit Ieremias: “ Factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	6 And Jeremiah said: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
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 Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your cousin, will come to you, saying: ‘Buy for yourself my field, which is in Anathoth. For it is your right, as next of kin, to buy 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 in accord with the word of the Lord, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the entrance of the prison, and he said to me: ‘Take possession of my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For the right of inheritance is yours, and as the next of kin you may possess it.’ Then I understood that this was the word of the Lord.
9 et emi agrum ab Hanameel filio patrui mei, qui est inAnathoth, et appendi ei argentum: septem et decem siclos argenteos.	9 And I bought the field, which is in Anathoth, from Hanamel, the son of my uncle. And I weighed out the money to him, seven small coins and ten pieces of silver.
10 Etscripsi in libro et signavi et adhibui testes et appendi argentum in statera.	10 And I wrote it in a book and signed it, and I summoned witnesses. And I weighed out the silver on a scale.
11 Et accepi librum possessionis signatum, continentem stipulationes et rata, etapertum;	11 And I received the signed deed of possession, and the stipulations, and the ratifications, with the exterior seals.
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 I gave the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, in the sight of the witnesses who had been recorded in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the atrium of the prison.
13 Etpraecepi Baruch coram eis dicens:	13 And I instructed Baruch, in their sight, saying:
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 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Take these writings, this sealed deed of purchase, and this deed which is open, and place them in an earthen vessel, so that they will be preserved for many days.’
15 Haecenim dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Adhuc possidebuntur domus et agri etvineae in terra ista.	15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Houses, and fields, and vineyards will be possessed still, in this land.’
16 Et oravi ad Dominum, postquam tradidi librum possessionis Baruch filioNeriae, dicens:	16 And after I had delivered the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
17 Heu, Domine Deus, ecce tu fecisti caelum et terram infortitudine tua magna et in brachio tuo extento; non erit tibi difficile omneverbum,	17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, you have made heaven and earth, by your great strength and by your outstretched arm. No word is difficult for you.
18 qui facis misericordiam in milibus et reddis iniquitatem patrum insinum filiorum eorum post eos; Deus magne, potens, Dominus exercituum nomeneius:	18 You act with mercy a thousand-fold, but you repay the iniquity of the fathers into the sinews of their sons after them. The Lord of hosts is your name: most strong, great, and powerful!
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 You are great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought. Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of Adam, so that you may repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his intentions.
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 caused signs and portents in the land of Egypt, and in Israel, and among men, even until this day. And you have made a name for yourself, just as in this day.
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 And you have led your people Israel away from the land of Egypt, with signs and portents, and with a robust hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
22 Etdedisti eis terram hanc, quam iurasti patribus eorum, ut dares eis, terramfluentem lacte et melle.	22 And you have given them this land, which you swore, to their fathers, that you would give to them, a land flowing 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 And they entered it and possessed it. But they did not obey your voice, and they did not walk in your law. And they did not do all of the things that you commanded them to do. And so, all of these evils have happened to 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 Behold, fortifications were built against the city, so as to capture it. And the city was given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, before the face of the sword, and of famine, and of pestilence. And what you have spoken has occurred, just as you yourself discern.
25 Et tudicis mihi, Domine Deus: Eme agrum argento et adhibe testes, cum urbs data sitin manu Chaldaeorum ”.	25 So why, O Lord God, are you saying to me: ‘Buy a field with money, and summon witnesses,’ while the city is being given into the hands of the Chaldeans?”
26 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam dicens:	26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
27 “ Ecce ego Dominus, Deusuniversae carnis; numquid mihi difficile erit omne verbum?	27 “Behold, I am the Lord God; I am above all flesh. Can any word be difficult for me?
28 Propterea haecdicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradam civitatem istam in manus Chaldaeorum et in manusregis Babylonis, et capiet eam.	28 Therefore, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they will 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 And the Chaldeans fighting against this city will advance, and set fire to it, and burn it, along with the houses on whose roofs they were offering sacrifice to Baal and were pouring out libations to strange gods, so that they provoked me to wrath.
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 sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, from their youth, have continually done evil in my eyes. The sons of Israel, even until now, have been provoking me with the work of their hands, says the Lord.
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 For this city has been a cause of fury and indignation to me, from the day when they built it, until this day, in which it will be taken away 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 because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their leaders and their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 Et verterunt ad me terga et non facies, cum doceremeos diluculo consurgens et erudiens, et nollent audire, ut acciperentdisciplinam.	33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. And though I taught them and instructed them, rising at first light, they were not willing to listen, so that they would receive discipline.
34 Et posuerunt idola sua in domo, super quam invocatum est nomenmeum, ut polluerent eam;	34 And they have placed their idols in the house where my name is invoked, so that they defiled 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 they have built the exalted places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may initiate their sons and their daughters into Molech, though I did not command, nor did it enter into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and so lead Judah into sin.
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 And now, because of these things, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to this city, about which you say that it will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
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 Behold, I will gather them together from all the lands to which I have cast them out in my fury, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation. And I will lead them back to this place, and I will cause them to live in confidence.
38 Et erunt mihi in populum, et egoero eis in Deum.	38 And they will be my people, and I will 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 And I will give to them one heart and one way, so that they may fear me all their days, and so that it may be well with them, and with their sons 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 And I will form an everlasting covenant with them, and I will not cease to do good for them. And I will put my fear into their heart, so that they do not withdraw from me.
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 And I will rejoice over them, while I do good for them. And I will plant them in this land, in truth, with my whole heart and with my whole 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 thus says the Lord: Just as I have led over this people all this great evil, so will I lead over them all the good that I am speaking to them now.
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 And fields will be possessed in this land, about which you say that it is desolate because there remains neither man nor beast, and because it has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
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 Fields will be bought for money, and deeds will be written and signed, and witnesses will be summoned, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south. For I will convert their captivity, says the Lord.”
