Jeremiæ 25

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam, de omni populo Juda, in anno quarto Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda (ipse est annus primus Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis),	1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, son of Josiah, king of Judah (the first year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon).
2 quod locutus est Jeremias propheta ad omnem populum Juda, et ad universos habitatores Jerusalem, dicens :	2 This word the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the citizens of Jerusalem:
3 A tertiodecimo anno Josiæ filii Amon regis Juda, usque ad diem hanc, iste tertius et vigesimus annus, factum est verbum Domini ad me, et locutus sum ad vos, de nocte consurgens et loquens, et non audistis.	3 Since the thirteenth year of Josiah, son of Amon, king of Judah, to this day-these three and twenty years-the word of the LORD has come to me and I spoke to you untiringly, but you would not listen.
4 Et misit Dominus ad vos omnes servos suos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque : et non audistis, neque inclinastis aures vestras ut audiretis,	4 Though you refused to listen or pay heed, the LORD has sent you without fail all his servants the prophets
5 cum diceret : Revertimini unusquisque a via sua mala, et a pessimis cogitationibus vestris, et habitabitis in terra quam dedit Dominus vobis et patribus vestris, a sæculo et usque in sæculum :	5 with this message: Turn back, each of you, from your evil way and from your evil deeds; then you shall remain in the land which the LORD gave you and your fathers, from of old and forever.
6 et nolite ire post deos alienos, ut serviatis eis, adoretisque eos : neque me ad iracundiam provocetis in operibus manuum vestrarum, et non affligam vos.	6 Do not follow strange gods to serve and adore them, lest you provoke me with your handiwork, and I bring evil upon you.
7 Et non audistis me, dicit Dominus, ut me ad iracundiam provocaretis in operibus manuum vestrarum, in malum vestrum.	7 But you would not listen to me, says the LORD, and so you provoked me with your handiwork to your own harm.
8 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Pro eo quod non audistis verba mea,	8 Hence, thus says the LORD of hosts: Since you would not listen to my words,
9 ecce ego mittam et assumam universas cognationes aquilonis, ait Dominus, et Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis servum meum, et adducam eos super terram istam, et super habitatores ejus, et super omnes nationes quæ in circuitu illius sunt : et interficiam eos, et ponam eos in stuporem et in sibilum, et in solitudines sempiternas.	9 lo! I will send for and fetch all the tribes of the north, says the LORD (and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, my servant); I will bring them against this land, against its inhabitants, and against all these neighboring nations. I will doom them, making them an object of horror, of ridicule, of everlasting reproach.
10 Perdamque ex eis vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsæ, vocem molæ et lumen lucernæ.	10 Among them I will bring to an end the song of joy and the song of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstone and the light of the lamp.
11 Et erit universa terra hæc in solitudinem, et in stuporem : et servient omnes gentes istæ regi Babylonis septuaginta annis.	11 This whole land shall be a ruin and a desert. Seventy years these nations shall be enslaved to the king of Babylon;
12 Cumque impleti fuerint septuaginta anni, visitabo super regem Babylonis et super gentem illam, dicit Dominus, iniquitatem eorum, et super terram Chaldæorum, et ponam illam in solitudines sempiternas.	12 but when the seventy years have elapsed, I will punish the king of Babylon and the nation and the land of the Chaldeans for their guilt, says the LORD. Their land I will turn into everlasting desert.
13 Et adducam super terram illam omnia verba mea, quæ locutus sum contra eam, omne quod scriptum est in libro isto, quæcumque prophetavit Jeremias adversum omnes gentes :	13 Against that land I will fulfill all the words I have spoken against it (all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations).
14 quia servierunt eis, cum essent gentes multæ, et reges magni : et reddam eis secundum opera eorum, et secundum facta manuum suarum.	14 They also shall be enslaved to great nations and mighty kings, and thus I will repay them according to their own deeds and according to their own handiwork.
15 Quia sic dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Sume calicem vini furoris hujus de manu mea, et propinabis de illo cunctis gentibus ad quas ego mittam te.	15 For thus said the LORD, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of foaming wine from my hand, and have all the nations to whom I will send you drink it.
16 Et bibent, et turbabuntur et insanient a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter eos.	16 They shall drink, and be convulsed, and go mad, because of the sword I will send among them.
17 Et accepi calicem de manu Domini, et propinavi cunctis gentibus ad quas misit me Dominus,	17 I took the cup from the hand of the LORD and gave drink to all the nations to which the LORD sent me:
18 Jerusalem, et civitatibus Juda, et regibus ejus, et principibus ejus, ut darem eos in solitudinem, et in stuporem, et in sibilum, et in maledictionem, sicut est dies ista :	18 (Jerusalem, the cities of Judah, her kings and her princes, to make them a ruin and a desert, an object of ridicule and cursing, as they are today;)
19 Pharaoni regi Ægypti, et servis ejus, et principibus ejus, et omni populo ejus :	19 Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his servants, his princes, all the people under him, native
20 et universis generaliter : cunctis regibus terræ Ausitidis, et cunctis regibus terræ Philisthiim, et Ascaloni, et Gazæ, et Accaron, et reliquiis Azoti :	20 and foreign; all the kings of the land of Uz; all the kings of the land of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 et Idumææ, et Moab, et filiis Ammon :	21 Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 et cunctis regibus Tyri, et universis regibus Sidonis, et regibus terræ insularum qui sunt trans mare :	22 all the kings of Tyre, of Sidon, and of the shores beyond the sea;
23 et Dedan, et Thema, et Buz, et universis qui attonsi sunt in comam :	23 Dedan and Tema and Buz, all the desert dwellers who shave their temples;
24 et cunctis regibus Arabiæ, et cunctis regibus occidentis, qui habitant in deserto :	24 (all the kings of Arabia;)
25 et cunctis regibus Zambri, et cunctis regibus Elam, et cunctis regibus Medorum :	25 all the kings of Zimri, of Elam, of the Medes;
26 cunctis quoque regibus aquilonis, de prope et de longe, unicuique contra fratrem suum : et omnibus regnis terræ quæ super faciem ejus sunt : et rex Sesach bibet post eos.	26 all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other; all the kingdoms upon the face of the earth (and after them the king of Sheshach shall drink).
27 Et dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Bibite, et inebriamini, et vomite : et cadite, neque surgatis a facie gladii quem ego mittam inter vos.	27 Tell them: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink! become drunk and vomit; fall, never to rise, before the sword that I will send among you!
28 Cumque noluerint accipere calicem de manu tua ut bibant, dices ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Bibentes bibetis :	28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, say to them: Thus says the LORD of hosts: You must drink!
29 quia ecce in civitate in qua invocatum est nomen meum ego incipiam affligere, et vos quasi innocentes et immunes eritis ? non eritis immunes : gladium enim ego voco super omnes habitatores terræ, dicit Dominus exercituum.	29 For since with this city, which is called by my name, I begin to inflict evil, how can you possibly be spared? You shall not be spared! I will call down the sword upon all who inhabit the earth, says the LORD of hosts.
30 Et tu prophetabis ad eos omnia verba hæc, et dices ad illos : Dominus de excelso rugiet, et de habitaculo sancto suo dabit vocem suam : rugiens rugiet super decorem suum : celeuma quasi calcantium concinetur adversus omnes habitatores terræ.	30 Prophesy against them all these things and say to them: The LORD roars from on high, from his holy dwelling he raises his voice; Mightily he roars over the range, a shout like that of vintagers over the grapes.
31 Pervenit sonitus usque ad extrema terræ, quia judicium Domino cum gentibus : judicatur ipse cum omni carne. Impios tradidi gladio, dicit Dominus.	31 To all who inhabit the earth to its very ends the uproar spreads; For the LORD has an indictment against the nations, he is to pass judgment upon all mankind: The godless shall be given to the sword, says the LORD.
32 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Ecce afflictio egredietur de gente in gentem, et turbo magnus egredietur a summitatibus terræ.	32 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Lo! calamity stalks from nation to nation; A great storm is unleashed from the ends of the earth.
33 Et erunt interfecti Domini in die illa, a summo terræ usque ad summum ejus : non plangentur, et non colligentur, neque sepelientur : in sterquilinium super faciem terræ jacebunt.	33 On that day, those whom the LORD has slain will be strewn from one end of the earth to the other. None will mourn them, none will gather them for burial; they shall lie like dung on the field.
34 Ululate, pastores, et clamate, et aspergite vos cinere, optimates gregis : quia completi sunt dies vestri ut interficiamini, et dissipationes vestræ : et cadetis quasi vasa pretiosa.	34 Howl, you shepherds, and wail! roll in the dust, leaders of the flock! The time for your slaughter has come; like choice rams you shall fall.
35 Et peribit fuga a pastoribus, et salvatio ab optimatibus gregis.	35 There is no flight for the shepherds, no escape for the leaders of the flock.
36 Vox clamoris pastorum, et ululatus optimatum gregis, quia vastavit Dominus pascua eorum :	36 Listen! Wailing from the shepherds, howling by the leaders of the flock! For the LORD lays waste their grazing place,
37 et conticuerunt arva pacis a facie iræ furoris Domini.	37 desolate lie the peaceful pastures;
38 Dereliquit quasi leo umbraculum suum, quia facta est terra eorum in desolationem a facie iræ columbæ, et a facie iræ furoris Domini.	38 The lion leaves his lair, and their land is made desolate By the sweeping sword, by the burning wrath of the LORD.
