VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Hæc dicit Dominus : Vade, et accipe lagunculam figuli testeam a senioribus populi et a senioribus sacerdotum,1 Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
2 et egredere ad vallem filii Ennom, quæ est juxta introitum portæ fictilis : et prædicabis ibi verba quæ ego loquar ad te.2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
3 Et dices : Audite verbum Domini,
reges Juda, et habitatores Jerusalem.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël :
Ecce ego inducam afflictionem super locum istum,
ita ut omnis qui audierit illam, tinniant aures ejus,
3 And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
4 eo quod dereliquerint me,
et alienum fecerint locum istum,
et libaverunt in eo diis alienis quos nescierunt,
ipsi et patres eorum, et reges Juda :
et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentum,
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5 et ædificaverunt excelsa Baalim,
ad comburendos filios suos igni in holocaustum Baalim :
quæ non præcepi, nec locutus sum,
nec ascenderunt in cor meum.
5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
6 Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et non vocabitur amplius locus iste Topheth,
et vallis filii Ennom,
sed vallis occisionis.
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
7 Et dissipabo consilium Juda et Jerusalem in loco isto,
et subvertam eos gladio in conspectu inimicorum suorum,
et in manu quærentium animas eorum :
et dabo cadavera eorum escam volatilibus cæli et bestiis terræ.
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
8 Et ponam civitatem hanc in stuporem, et in sibilum :
omnis qui præterierit per eam obstupescet,
et sibilabit super universa plaga ejus.
8 And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
9 Et cibabo eos carnibus filiorum suorum et carnibus filiarum suarum :
et unusquisque carnem amici sui comedet in obsidione,
et in angustia in qua concludent eos inimici eorum,
et qui quærunt animas eorum.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
10 Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum qui ibunt tecum,10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 et dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum :
Sic conteram populum istum, et civitatem istam,
sicut conteritur vas figuli,
quod non potest ultra instaurari :
et in Topheth sepelientur,
eo quod non sit alius locus ad sepeliendum.
11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
12 Sic faciam loco huic, ait Dominus,
et habitatoribus ejus,
et ponam civitatem istam sicut Topheth.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
13 Et erunt domus Jerusalem,
et domus regum Juda,
sicut locus Topheth, immundæ,
omnes domus in quarum domatibus sacrificaverunt omni militiæ cæli,
et libaverunt libamina diis alienis.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
14 Venit autem Jeremias de Topheth, quo miserat eum Dominus ad prophetandum, et stetit in atrio domus Domini, et dixit ad omnem populum :14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said to all the people,
15 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Ecce ego inducam super civitatem hanc, et super omnes urbes ejus, universa mala quæ locutus sum adversum eam, quoniam induraverunt cervicem suam ut non audirent sermones meos.15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
