Jeremiæ 7

VULGATA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens :	1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 Sta in porta domus Domini, et prædica ibi verbum istud, et dic : Audite verbum Domini, omnis Juda, qui ingredimini per portas has ut adoretis Dominum.	2 "Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the LORD.
3 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Bonas facite vias vestras, et studia vestra, et habitabo vobiscum in loco isto.	3 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will let you dwell in this place.
4 Nolite confidere in verbis mendacii, dicentes : Templum Domini, templum Domini, templum Domini est !	4 Do not trust in these deceptive words: 'This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.'
5 Quoniam si bene direxeritis vias vestras, et studia vestra ; si feceritis judicium inter virum et proximum ejus ;	5 "For if you truly amend your ways and your doings, if you truly execute justice one with another,
6 advenæ, et pupillo, et viduæ non feceritis calumniam, nec sanguinem innocentem effuderitis in loco hoc, et post deos alienos non ambulaveritis in malum vobismetipsis :	6 if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow, or shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt,
7 habitabo vobiscum in loco isto, in terra quam dedi patribus vestris a sæculo et usque in sæculum.	7 then I will let you dwell in this place, in the land that I gave of old to your fathers for ever.
8 Ecce vos confiditis vobis in sermonibus mendacii, qui non proderunt vobis :	8 "Behold, you trust in deceptive words to no avail.
9 furari, occidere, adulterari, jurare mendaciter, libare Baalim, et ire post deos alienos quos ignoratis :	9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and go after other gods that you have not known,
10 et venistis, et stetistis coram me in domo hac, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, et dixistis : Liberati sumus, eo quod fecerimus omnes abominationes istas.	10 and then come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, 'We are delivered!'--only to go on doing all these abominations?
11 Numquid ergo spelunca latronum facta est domus ista, in qua invocatum est nomen meum in oculis vestris ? Ego, ego sum : ego vidi, dicit Dominus.	11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I myself have seen it, says the LORD.
12 Ite ad locum meum in Silo, ubi habitavit nomen meum a principio, et videte quæ fecerim ei propter malitiam populi mei Israël.	12 Go now to my place that was in Shiloh, where I made my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 Et nunc, quia fecistis omnia opera hæc, dicit Dominus, et locutus sum ad vos mane consurgens, et loquens, et non audistis : et vocavi vos, et non respondistis :	13 And now, because you have done all these things, says the LORD, and when I spoke to you persistently you did not listen, and when I called you, you did not answer,
14 faciam domui huic, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, et in qua vos habetis fiduciam, et loco quem dedi vobis et patribus vestris, sicut feci Silo :	14 therefore I will do to the house which is called by my name, and in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Shiloh.
15 et projiciam vos a facie mea sicut projeci omnes fratres vestros, universum semen Ephraim.	15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast out all your kinsmen, all the offspring of Ephraim.
16 Tu ergo, noli orare pro populo hoc, nec assumas pro eis laudem et orationem : et non obsistas mihi, quia non exaudiam te.	16 "As for you, do not pray for this people, or lift up cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I do not hear you.
17 Nonne vides quid isti faciunt in civitatibus Juda, et in plateis Jerusalem ?	17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 Filii colligunt ligna, et patres succendunt ignem, et mulieres conspergunt adipem, ut faciant placentas reginæ cæli, et libent diis alienis, et me ad iracundiam provocent.	18 The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
19 Numquid me ad iracundiam provocant ? dicit Dominus ; nonne semetipsos in confusionem vultus sui ?	19 Is it I whom they provoke? says the LORD. Is it not themselves, to their own confusion?
20 Ideo hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce furor meus et indignatio mea conflatur super locum istum, super viros, et super jumenta, et super lignum regionis, et super fruges terræ : et succendetur, et non extinguetur.	20 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, my anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, upon man and beast, upon the trees of the field and the fruit of the ground; it will burn and not be quenched."
21 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël : Holocautomata vestra addite victimis vestris, et comedite carnes :	21 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
22 quia non sum locutus cum patribus vestris, et non præcepi eis, in die qua eduxi eos de terra Ægypti, de verbo holocautomatum et victimarum :	22 For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices.
23 sed hoc verbum præcepi eis, dicens : Audite vocem meam, et ero vobis Deus, et vos eritis mihi populus : et ambulate in omni via quam mandavi vobis, ut bene sit vobis.	23 But this command I gave them, 'Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'
24 Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam : sed abierunt in voluntatibus et in pravitate cordis sui mali : factique sunt retrorsum, et non in ante,	24 But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.
25 a die qua egressi sunt patres eorum de terra Ægypti usque ad diem hanc. Et misi ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas per diem, consurgens diluculo, et mittens :	25 From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day;
26 et non audierunt me, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam : sed induraverunt cervicem suam, et pejus operati sunt quam patres eorum.	26 yet they did not listen to me, or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.
27 Et loqueris ad eos omnia verba hæc, et non audient te : et vocabis eos, et non respondebunt tibi.	27 "So you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but they will not answer you.
28 Et dices ad eos : Hæc est gens quæ non audivit vocem Domini Dei sui, nec recepit disciplinam ; periit fides, et ablata est de ore eorum.	28 And you shall say to them, 'This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from their lips.
29 Tonde capillum tuum, et projice, et sume in directum planctum : quia projecit Dominus et reliquit generationem furoris sui ;	29 Cut off your hair and cast it away; raise a lamentation on the bare heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.'
30 quia fecerunt filii Juda malum in oculis meis, dicit Dominus. Posuerunt offendicula sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ut polluerent eam :	30 "For the sons of Judah have done evil in my sight, says the LORD; they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
31 et ædificaverunt excelsa Topheth, quæ est in valle filii Ennom, ut incenderent filios suos et filias suas igni, quæ non præcepi, nec cogitavi in corde meo.	31 And they have built the high place of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command, nor did it come into my mind.
32 Ideo ecce dies venient, dicit Dominus, et non dicetur amplius Topheth, et vallis filii Ennom, sed vallis interfectionis : et sepelient in Topheth, eo quod non sit locus.	32 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when it will no more be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of Slaughter: for they will bury in Topheth, because there is no room elsewhere.
33 Et erit morticinum populi hujus in cibos volucribus cæli et bestiis terræ, et non erit qui abigat.	33 And the dead bodies of this people will be food for the birds of the air, and for the beasts of the earth; and none will frighten them away.
34 Et quiescere faciam de urbibus Juda, et de plateis Jerusalem, vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsæ : in desolationem enim erit terra.	34 And I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall become a waste.
