Geremia 7

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino dicens:	1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
2 “ Sta in portadomus Domini et praedica ibi verbum istud et dic: Audite verbum Domini, omnisIuda, qui ingredimini per portas has, ut adoretis Dominum.	2 Stand in the gate of the house of the Lord, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all ye men of Juda, that enter in at these gates, to adore the Lord.
3 Haec dicit Dominusexercituum, Deus Israel: Bonas facite vias vestras et opera vestra, et habitarevos faciam in loco isto.	3 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Make your ways and your doings good: and I will dwell with you in this place.
4 Nolite confidere in verbis mendacii dicentes: “TemplumDomini, templum Domini, templum Domini est”.	4 Trust not in lying words, saying: The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, it is the temple of the Lord.
5 Quoniam, si bene direxeritisvias vestras et opera vestra, si feceritis iudicium inter virum et proximumeius,	5 For if you will order well your ways, and your doings: if you will execute judgement between a man and his neighbor,
6 advenae et pupillo et viduae non feceritis calumniam nec sanguineminnocentem effuderitis in loco hoc et post deos alienos non ambulaveritis inmalum vobismetipsis,	6 If you opress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and walk not after strange gods to your own hurt,
7 habitare vos faciam in loco isto, in terra, quam dedipatribus vestris a saeculo usque in saeculum.	7 I will dwell with you in this place: in the land, which I gave to your fathers from the beginning and for evermore.
8 Ecce vos confiditis vobis in sermonibus mendacii, qui non proderunt.	8 Behold you put your trust in lying words, which shall not profit you:
9 Quid?Furari, occidere, adulterari, iurare mendaciter, incensum offerre Baal et irepost deos alienos, quos ignoratis;	9 To steal, to murder, to commit adultery, to swear falsely, to offer to Baalim, and to go after strange gods, which you know not.
10 et venitis et statis coram me in domo hac,super quam invocatum est nomen meum, et dicitis: “Liberati sumus”, eo quodfaciatis omnes abominationes istas.	10 And you have come, and stood before me in this house, in which my name is called upon, and have said: We are delivered, because we have done all these abominations.
11 Numquid spelunca latronum facta est domusista, super quam invocatum est nomen meum in oculis vestris? Ecce, etiam ego vidi, dicit Dominus.	11 Is this house then, in which my name hath been called upon, in your eyes become a den of robbers? I, I am he: I have seen it, saith the Lord.
12 Ite ad locum meum in Silo, ubi habitavitnomen meum a principio, et videte, quae fecerim ei propter malitiam populi meiIsrael.	12 Go ye to my place in Silo, where my name dwelt from the beginning: and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel:
13 Et nunc, quia fecistis omnia opera haec, dicit Dominus, et locutussum ad vos mane consurgens et loquens, et non audistis, et vocavi vos, et nonrespondistis,	13 And now, because you have done all these works, saith the Lord: and I have spoken to you rising up early, and speaking, and you have not heard: and I have called you, and you have not answered:
14 faciam domui huic, super quam invocatum est nomen meum, et inqua vos habetis fiduciam, et loco, quem dedi vobis et patribus vestris, sicutfeci Silo;	14 I will do to this house, in which my name is called upon, and in which you trust, and to the places which I have given you and your fathers, as I did to Silo.
15 et proiciam vos a facie mea, sicut proieci omnes fratres vestros,universum semen Ephraim.	15 And I will cast you away from before my face, as I have cast away all your brethren, the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Tu ergo, noli orare pro populo hoc nec assumas pro eis deprecationem etorationem et non obsistas mihi, quia non exaudiam te.	16 Therefore, do not thou pray for this people, nor take to thee praise and supplication for them: and do not withstand me: for I will not hear thee.
17 Nonne vides, quid istifaciant in civitatibus Iudae et in plateis Ierusalem?	17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Filii colligunt ligna,et patres succendunt ignem, et mulieres commiscent farinam, ut faciant placentasreginae caeli et libent diis alienis, ut me ad iracundiam provocent.	18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to provoke me to anger.
19 Numquidme ad iracundiam provocant, dicit Dominus, nonne semetipsos in confusionemvultus sui?	19 Do they provoke me to anger, saith the Lord? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?
20 Ideo haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce furor meus et indignatio meaeffunditur super locum istum, super homines et super iumenta et super lignumregionis et super fruges terrae et succendetur et non exstinguetur.	20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my wrath and my indignation was enkindled against this place, upon men and upon beasts, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruits of the land, and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
21 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Holocautomata vestra additevictimis vestris et comedite carnes,	21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat ye the flesh.
22 quia non sum locutus cum patribusvestris et non praecepi eis in die, qua eduxi eos de terra Aegypti, de verboholocautomatum et victimarum.	22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and I commanded them not, in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning the matter of burnt offerings and sacrifices.
23 Sed hoc verbum praecepi eis dicens: Auditevocem meam, et ero vobis Deus, et vos eritis mihi populus; et ambulate in omnivia, quam mandaverim vobis, ut bene sit vobis.	23 But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk ye in all the way that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.
24 Et non audierunt necinclinaverunt aurem suam, sed abierunt in voluntatibus et in pravitate cordissui mali factique sunt retrorsum et non in ante	24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear: but walked in their own will, and in the perversity of their wicked heart: and went backward and not forward,
25 a die, qua egressi suntpatres eorum de terra Aegypti, usque ad diem hanc. Et misi ad vos omnes servosmeos prophetas, per diem consurgens diluculo et mittens;	25 From the day that their fathers came out of the land of Egypt, even to this day. And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets from day to day, rising up early and sending.
26 et non audierunt menec inclinaverunt aurem suam, sed induraverunt cervicem suam et peius operatisunt quam patres eorum.	26 And they have not hearkened to me: nor inclined their ear: but have hardened their neck, and have done worse than their fathers.
27 Et loqueris ad eos omnia verba haec, et non audientte; et vocabis eos, et non respondebunt tibi;	27 And thou shalt speak to them all these words, but they will not hearken to thee: and thou shalt call them, but they will not answer thee.
28 et dices ad eos: Haec est gens,quae non audivit vocem Domini Dei sui nec recepit disciplinam. Periit fides etablata est de ore eorum.	28 And thou shalt say to them: This is a nation which hath not hearkened to the voice of the Lord their God, nor received instruction: Faith is lost, and is carried away out of their mouth.
29 Tonde capillum tuum et proice et sume in collibus planctum, quia sprevit Dominus et proiecit generationem furoris sui.	29 Cut off thy hair, and cast it away: and take up a lamentation on high: for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath,
30 Quia fecerunt filii Iudae malum in oculis meis, dicit Dominus; posueruntabominationes suas in domo, super quam invocatum est nomen meum, ut polluerenteam;	30 Because the children of Juda have done evil in my eyes, saith the Lord. They have set their abominations in the house in which my name is called upon, to pollute it;
31 et aedificaverunt excelsa Topheth, quae est in valle Benennom, utincenderent filios suos et filias suas igni: quae non praecepi nec cogitavi incorde meo.	31 And they have built the high places of Topeth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons, and their daughters in the fire: which I commanded not, nor thought on in my heart.
32 Ideo ecce dies venient, dicit Dominus, et non dicetur ampliusTopheth et vallis Benennom sed vallis Interfectionis; et sepelient in Topheth,eo quod non sit locus.	32 Therefore behold the days shall come, saith the Lord, and it shall no more be called Topeth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom: but the valley of slaughter, and they shall bury in Topeth, because there is no place.
33 Et erit morticinum populi huius in cibum volucribuscaeli et bestiis terrae, et non erit qui abigat.	33 And the carcasses of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth, and there shall be non to drive them away.
34 Et quiescere faciam deurbibus Iudae et de plateis Ierusalem vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae, vocemsponsi et vocem sponsae: in desolationem enim erit terra ”.	34 And I will cause ot cease out of the cities of Juda, and out of the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of joy, and the coice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
