Jeremiæ 11

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Verbum quod factum est a Domino ad Jeremiam, dicens :	1 The following message came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 Audite verba pacti hujus, et loquimini ad viros Juda, et ad habitatores Jerusalem,	2 Speak to the men of Judah and to the citizens of Jerusalem,
3 et dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël : Maledictus vir qui non audierit verba pacti hujus	3 saying to them: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who does not observe the terms of this covenant,
4 quod præcepi patribus vestris, in die qua eduxi eos de terra Ægypti, de fornace ferrea, dicens : Audite vocem meam, et facite omnia quæ præcipio vobis, et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum :	4 which I enjoined upon your fathers the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, that iron foundry, saying: Listen to my voice and do all that I command you. Then you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
5 ut suscitem juramentum quod juravi patribus vestris, daturum me eis terram fluentem lacte et melle, sicut est dies hæc. Et respondi, et dixi : Amen, Domine.	5 Thus I will fulfill the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey: the one you have today. "Amen, LORD," I answered.
6 Et dixit Dominus ad me : Vociferare omnia verba hæc in civitatibus Juda, et foris Jerusalem, dicens : Audite verba pacti hujus, et facite illa,	6 Then the LORD said to me: Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: Hear the words of this covenant and obey them.
7 quia contestans contestatus sum patres vestros, in die qua eduxi eos de terra Ægypti, usque ad diem hanc : mane consurgens contestatus sum, et dixi : Audite vocem meam.	7 Urgently and constantly I warned your fathers to obey my voice, from the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt even to this day.
8 Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam, sed abierunt, unusquisque in pravitate cordis sui mali : et induxi super eos omnia verba pacti hujus quod præcepi ut facerent, et non fecerunt.	8 But they did not listen or give ear. Each one followed the hardness of his evil heart, till I brought upon them all the threats of this covenant which they had failed to observe as I commanded them.
9 Et dixit Dominus ad me : Inventa est conjuratio in viris Juda et in habitatoribus Jerusalem.	9 A conspiracy has been found, the LORD said to me, among the men of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem.
10 Reversi sunt ad iniquitates patrum suorum priores, qui noluerunt audire verba mea : et hi ergo abierunt post deos alienos, ut servirent eis : irritum fecerunt domus Israël et domus Juda pactum meum quod pepigi cum patribus eorum.	10 They have returned to the crimes of their forefathers who refused to obey my words. They also have followed and served strange gods; the covenant which I had made with their fathers, the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken.
11 Quam ob rem hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego inducam super eos mala de quibus exire non poterunt : et clamabunt ad me, et non exaudiam eos.	11 Therefore, thus says the LORD: See, I bring upon them misfortune which they cannot escape. Though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
12 Et ibunt civitates Juda et habitatores Jerusalem, et clamabunt ad deos quibus libant, et non salvabunt eos in tempore afflictionis eorum.	12 Then the cities of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to which they have been offering incense. But these gods will give them no help whatever when misfortune strikes.
13 Secundum numerum enim civitatum tuarum erant dii tui, Juda : et secundum numerum viarum Jerusalem, posuisti aras confusionis, aras ad libandum Baalim.	13 For as numerous as your cities are your gods, O Judah! And as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars for offering sacrifice to Baal.
14 Tu ergo noli orare pro populo hoc, et ne assumas pro eis laudem et orationem, quia non exaudiam in tempore clamoris eorum ad me, in tempore afflictionis eorum.	14 Do not intercede on behalf of this people, nor utter a plea for them. I will not listen when they call to me at the time of their misfortune.
15 Quid est, quod dilectus meus in domo mea fecit scelera multa ? numquid carnes sanctæ auferent a te malitias tuas, in quibus gloriata es ?	15 What right has my beloved in my house, while she prepares her plots? Can vows and sacred meat turn away your misfortune from you? Will you still be jubilant
16 Olivam uberem, pulchram, fructiferam, speciosam, vocavit Dominus nomen tuum : ad vocem loquelæ, grandis exarsit ignis in ea, et combusta sunt fruteta ejus.	16 when you hear the great invasion? A spreading olive tree, goodly to behold, the LORD has named you; Now he sets fire to it, its branches burn.
17 Et Dominus exercituum, qui plantavit te, locutus est super te malum, pro malis domus Israël, et domus Juda, quæ fecerunt sibi ad irritandum me, libantes Baalim.	17 The LORD of hosts who planted you has decreed misfortune for you because of the evil done by the house of Israel and by the house of Judah, who provoked me by sacrificing to Baal.
18 Tu autem, Domine, demonstrasti mihi, et cognovi : tunc ostendisti mihi studia eorum.	18 I knew it because the LORD informed me; at that time you, O LORD, showed me their doings.
19 Et ego quasi agnus mansuetus, qui portatur ad victimam : et non cognovi quia cogitaverunt super me consilia, dicentes : Mittamus lignum in panem ejus, et eradamus eum de terra viventium, et nomen ejus non memoretur amplius.
20 Tu autem, Domine Sabaoth, qui judicas juste, et probas renes et corda, videam ultionem tuam ex eis : tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
21 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus ad viros Anathoth, qui quærunt animam tuam, et dicunt : Non prophetabis in nomine Domini, et non morieris in manibus nostris :
22 propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Ecce ego visitabo super eos : juvenes morientur in gladio ; filii eorum et filiæ eorum morientur in fame.
23 Et reliquiæ non erunt ex eis : inducam enim malum super viros Anathoth, annum visitationis eorum.
