1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, quando Nabuchodonosor rexBabylonis et omnis exercitus eius universaque regna terrae, quae erant subpotestate manus eius, et omnes populi bellabant contra Ierusalem et contra omnesurbes eius, dicens:	1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, (when Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth, that were under the power of his hand, and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all the cities thereof,) saying:
2 “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Vade et loquere adSedeciam regem Iudae et dices ad eum: Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego tradamcivitatem hanc in manus regis Babylonis, et succendet eam igni;	2 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Go, and speak to Sedecias king of Juda, and say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
3 et tu noneffugies de manu eius, sed comprehensione capieris et in manu eius traderis, etoculi tui oculos regis Babylonis videbunt, et os eius cum ore tuo loquetur, etBabylonem introibis.	3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand: but thou shalt surely be taken, and thou shalt be delivered into his hand: and thy eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth shall speak with thy mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
4 Attamen audi verbum Domini, Sedecia rex Iudae. Haec dicitDominus ad te: Non morieris in gladio,	4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Sedecias king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord to thee: Thou shalt not die by the sword.
5 sed in pace morieris et secundumcombustiones patrum tuorum regum priorum, qui fuerunt ante te, sic comburenttibi et “Vae, domine!” plangent te, quia verbum ego locutus sum ”, dicitDominus.	5 But thou shalt die in peace, and according to the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings that were before thee, so shall they burn thee: and they shall mourn for thee, saying: Alas, Lord: for I have spoken the word, saith the Lord.
6 Et locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Sedeciam regem Iudae universaverba haec in Ierusalem;	6 And Jeremias the prophet spoke all these words to Sedecias the king of Juda in Jerusalem.
7 et exercitus regis Babylonis pugnabat contraIerusalem et contra omnes civitates Iudae, quae reliquae erant, contra Lachis etcontra Azeca: hae enim supererant de civitatibus Iudae urbes munitae.	7 And the army of the king of Babylon fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Juda that were left, against Lachis, and against Azecha: for these remained of the cities of Juda, fenced cities.
8 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, postquam percussit rex Sedeciasfoedus cum omni populo in Ierusalem praedicans eis libertatem,	8 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that king Sedecias had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem making a proclamation:
9 ut dimitteretunusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam, Hebraeum et Hebraeam,liberos et nequaquam dominarentur eis, id est in Iudaeo et fratre suo.	9 That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free: and that they should not lord it over them, to wit, over the Jews their brethren.
10 Audierunt ergo omnes principes et universus populus, qui inierant pactum, utdimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam liberos et ultranon dominarentur eis; audierunt igitur et dimiserunt.	10 And all the princes, and all the people who entered into the covenant, heard that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant go free, and should no more have dominion over them: and they obeyed, and let them go free.
11 Et conversi suntdeinceps et retraxerunt servos et ancillas suas, quos dimiserant liberos, etsubiugaverunt in famulos et in famulas.	11 But afterwards they turned: and brought back again their servants and their handmaids, whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as menservants and maidservants.
12 Et factum est verbum Domini adIeremiam a Domino dicens:	12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
13 “ Haec dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Ego percussifoedus cum patribus vestris in die, qua eduxi eos de terra Aegypti de domoservitutis, dicens:	13 Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying:
14 Cum completi fuerint septem anni, dimittat unusquisquefratrem suum Hebraeum, qui venditus est ei, et serviet tibi sex annis, etdimittes eum a te liberum, et non audierunt patres vestri me nec inclinaveruntaurem suam.	14 At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt let him go free from thee: and your fathers did not hearken to me, nor did they incline their ear.
15 Et conversi estis vos hodie et fecistis, quod rectum est inoculis meis, ut praedicaretis libertatem unusquisque ad proximum suum; etinistis pactum in conspectu meo in domo, super quam invocatum est nomen meum.	15 And you turned to day, and did that which was right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house upon which my name is invocated.
16 Et reversi estis et commaculastis nomen meum et reduxistis unusquisque servumsuum et unusquisque ancillam suam, quos dimiseratis, ut essent liberi et suaepotestatis, et subiugastis eos, ut sint vobis servi et ancillae.	16 And you are fallen back, and have defiled my name: and you have brought back again every man his manservant, and every man his maidservant, whom you had let go free, and set at liberty: and you have brought them into subjection to be your servants and handmaids.
17 Propterea haec dicit Dominus: Vos non audistis me, ut praedicaretislibertatem unusquisque fratri suo et unusquisque amico suo; ecce ego praedicovobis libertatem, ait Dominus, ad gladium et pestem et famem et dabo vos incommotionem cunctis regnis terrae.	17 Therefore thus saith the Lord: You have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine: and I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 Et dabo viros, qui praevaricantur foedusmeum et non observaverunt verba foederis, quibus assensi sunt in conspectu meo,sicut vitulum, quem conciderunt in duas partes et transierunt inter divisioneseius,	18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, and have not performed the words of the covenant which they agreed to in my presence, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts thereof:
19 principes Iudae et principes Ierusalem, eunuchi et sacerdotes et omnispopulus terrae, qui transierunt inter divisiones vituli;	19 The princes of Juda, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land that passed between the parts of the calf:
20 et dabo eos in manuinimicorum suorum et in manu quaerentium animam eorum, et erit morticinum eorumin escam volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae.	20 And I will give them into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their life : and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 Et Sedeciam regem Iudae etprincipes eius dabo in manus inimicorum suorum et in manus quaerentium animaseorum et in manus exercituum regis Babylonis, qui recesserunt a vobis.	21 And Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes, I will give into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their lives, and into the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which are gone from you.
22 Ecceego praecipio, dicit Dominus, et reducam eos in civitatem hanc; et proeliabunturadversus eam et capient eam et incendent igni; et civitates Iudae dabo insolitudinem, eo quod non sit habitator ”.	22 Behold I will command, saith the Lord, and I will bring them again to this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Juda a desolation, without an inhabitant.
