VULGATAKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et audivit Phassur filius Emmer, sacerdos, qui constitutus erat princeps in domo Domini, Jeremiam prophetantem sermones istos.1 Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
2 Et percussit Phassur Jeremiam prophetam, et misit eum in nervum quod erat in porta Benjamin superiori, in domo Domini.2 Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
3 Cumque illuxisset in crastinum, eduxit Phassur Jeremiam de nervo, et dixit ad eum Jeremias : Non Phassur vocavit Dominus nomen tuum, sed Pavorem undique.3 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego dabo te in pavorem,
te et omnes amicos tuos :
et corruent gladio inimicorum suorum,
et oculi tui videbunt :
et omnem Judam dabo in manum regis Babylonis,
et traducet eos in Babylonem,
et percutiet eos gladio.
4 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
5 Et dabo universam substantiam civitatis hujus,
et omnem laborem ejus, omneque pretium,
et cunctos thesauros regum Juda
dabo in manu inimicorum eorum :
et diripient eos, et tollent,
et ducent in Babylonem.
5 Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Tu autem, Phassur, et omnes habitatores domus tuæ,
ibitis in captivitatem :
et in Babylonem venies,
et ibi morieris, ibique sepelieris
tu, et omnes amici tui,
quibus prophetasti mendacium.
6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
7 Seduxisti me, Domine, et seductus sum :
fortior me fuisti, et invaluisti :
factus sum in derisum tota die ;
omnes subsannant me.
7 O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
8 Quia jam olim loquor,
vociferans iniquitatem, et vastitatem clamito :
et factus est mihi sermo Domini in opprobrium,
et in derisum tota die.
8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
9 Et dixi : Non recordabor ejus,
neque loquar ultra in nomine illius :
et factus est in corde meo quasi ignis exæstuans,
claususque in ossibus meis,
et defeci, ferre non sustinens.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
10 Audivi enim contumelias multorum,
et terrorem in circuitu :
Persequimini, et persequamur eum,
ab omnibus viris qui erant pacifici mei,
et custodientes latus meum :
si quomodo decipiatur, et prævaleamus adversus eum,
et consequamur ultionem ex eo.
10 For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 Dominus autem mecum est, quasi bellator fortis :
idcirco qui persequuntur me cadent,
et infirmi erunt :
confundentur vehementer,
quia non intellexerunt opprobrium sempiternum,
quod numquam delebitur.
11 But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
12 Et tu, Domine exercituum, probator justi,
qui vides renes et cor,
videam, quæso, ultionem tuam ex eis :
tibi enim revelavi causam meam.
12 But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
13 Cantate Domino,
laudate Dominum,
quia liberavit animam pauperis de manu malorum.
13 Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
14 Maledicta dies in qua natus sum !
dies in qua peperit me mater mea
non sit benedicta !
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
15 Maledictus vir qui annuntiavit patri meo,
dicens : Natus est tibi puer masculus,
et quasi gaudio lætificavit eum !
15 Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
16 Sit homo ille ut sunt civitates quæ subvertit Dominus,
et non pœnituit eum :
audiat clamorem mane,
et ululatum in tempore meridiano,
16 And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
17 qui non me interfecit a vulva,
ut fieret mihi mater mea sepulchrum,
et vulva ejus conceptus æternus !
17 Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
18 Quare de vulva egressus sum,
ut viderem laborem et dolorem,
et consumerentur in confusione dies mei ?
18 Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
