Jeremiah 40

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that Nabuzardan the general had let him go from Rama, when he had taken him, being bound with chains, among all them that were carried away from Jerusalem and Juda, and were carried to Babylon.	1 Sermo, qui factus est ad Ieremiam a Domino, postquam dimissus est aNabuzardan magistro satellitum de Rama, quando tulit eum vinctum catenis inmedio omnium, qui migrabant de Ierusalem et Iuda et ducebantur in Babylonem.
2 And the general of the army taking Jeremias, said to him: The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place,	2 Tollens ergo princeps satellitum Ieremiam, dixit ad eum: “ Dominus Deus tuuslocutus est malum hoc super locum istum
3 And he hath brought it : and the Lord hath done as he hath said: because you have sinned against the Lord, and have not hearkened to his voice, and this word is come upon you.	3 et adduxit; et fecit Dominus, sicutlocutus est, quia peccastis Domino et non audistis vocem eius, et factus estvobis sermo hic.
4 Now then behold I have loosed thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hands: if it please thee to come with me to Babylon, come : and I will set my eyes upon thee: but if it do not please thee to come with me to Babylon, stay here: behold all the land is before thee, as thou shalt choose, and whither it shall please thee to go, thither go.	4 Nunc ergo ecce solvi te hodie de catenis, quae sunt inmanibus tuis. Si placet tibi, ut venias mecum in Babylonem, veni, et ponamoculos meos super te; si autem displicet tibi venire mecum in Babylonem, reside;ecce omnis terra in conspectu tuo est: quod elegeris et quo placuerit tibi utvadas, illuc perge ”.
5 And come not with me: but dwell with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Juda: dwell therefore with him in the midst of the people: or whithersoever it shall please thee to go, go. And the general of the army gave him victuals and presents, and let him go.	5 Cum nondum reverteretur, dixit: “ Revertere adGodoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan, quem praeposuit rex Babylonis civitatibusIudae; habita ergo cum eo in medio populi vel quocumque placuerit tibi ut vadas,vade ”. Dedit quoque ei magister satellitum cibaria et munuscula et dimisiteum.
6 And Jeremias went to Godolias the son of Ahicam to Masphath: and dwelt with him in the midst of the people that were left in the land.	6 Venit autem Ieremias ad Godoliam filium Ahicam in Maspha et habitavit cumeo in medio populi, qui relictus fuerat in terra.
7 And when all the captains of the army that were scattered through the countries, they and their companions, had heard that the king of Babylon had made Godolias the son of Ahicam governor of the country, and that he had committed unto him men and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, them that had not been carried away captive to Babylon:	7 Cumque audissent omnes principes exercitus, qui dispersi fuerant per regiones,ipsi et viri eorum, quod praefecisset rex Babylonis Godoliam filium Ahicamterrae et quod commendasset ei viros et mulieres et parvulos et de pauperibusterrae, qui non fuerant translati in Babylonem,
8 They came to Godolias to Masphath: and Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and Johanan, and Jonathan, the sons of Caree, and Sareas the son of Thanehumeth, and the children of Ophi, that were of Netophathi, and Jezonias the son of Maachati, they and their men.	8 venerunt ad Godoliam inMaspha; Ismael, inquam, filius Nathaniae et Iohanan et Ionathan filii Caree etSaraia filius Thanehumeth et filii Ophi, qui erant de Netopha, et Iezoniasfilius Maachathi, ipsi et viri eorum.
9 And Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan swore to them and to their companions, saying: Fear not to serve the Chaldeass: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.	9 Et iuravit eis Godolias filius Ahicamfilii Saphan et comitibus eorum dicens: “Nolite timere servire Chaldaeis;habitate in terra et servite regi Babylonis, et bene erit vobis.
10 Behold I dwell in Masphath, that I may answer the commandment of the Chaldeans that are sent to us: but as for you, gather ye the vintage, and the harvest, and the oil, and lay it up in your vessels, and abide in your cities which you hold.	10 Ecce egohabito in Maspha, ut stem coram Chaldaeis, qui veniunt ad nos; vos autemcolligite vindemiam et messem et oleum et condite in vasis vestris et manete inurbibus vestris, quas tenetis ”.
11 Moreover all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and in all the countries, when they heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan ruler over them:	11 Sed et omnes Iudaei, qui erant in Moab et in filiis Ammon et in Edom et inuniversis regionibus, audito quod dedisset rex Babylonis reliquias in Iudaea etquod praeposuisset super eos Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan,
12 All the Jews, I say, returned out of all the places to which they had fled, and they came into the land of Juda to Godolias to Masphath: and they gathered wine, and a very great harvest.	12 reversisunt, inquam, omnes Iudaei de universis locis, ad quae profugerant, et veneruntin terram Iudae ad Godoliam in Maspha et collegerunt vinum et messem multamnimis.
13 Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the army, that had been scattered about in the countries, came to Godolias to Masphath.	13 Iohanan autem filius Caree et omnes principes exercitus, qui dispersi fuerantin regionibus, venerunt ad Godoliam in Maspha
14 And they said to him: Know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ismahel the son of Nathanias to kill thee. And Godolias the son of Ahicam believed them not.	14 et dixerunt ei: “ Scito quodBaalis rex filiorum Ammon misit Ismael filium Nathaniae percutere animam tuam”; et non credidit eis Godolias filius Ahicam.
15 But Johanan the son of Caree, spoke to Oodolias privately in Masphath, saying: I will go, and I will kill Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and no man shall know it, lest he kill thee, and all the Jews be scattered, that are gathered unto thee, and the remnant of Juda perish.	15 Iohanan vero filius Careedixit ad Godoliam seorsum in Maspha loquens: “ Ibo et percutiam Ismael filiumNathaniae, nullo sciente, ne interficiat animam tuam, et dissipentur omnesIudaei, qui congregati sunt ad te, et peribunt reliquiae Iudae ”.
16 And Codolias the son of Ahicam said to Johanan the son of Cares: Do not this thing: for what thou sayst of Ismahel is false.	16 Et aitGodolias filius Ahicam ad Iohanan filium Caree: “ Noli facere verbum hoc;falsum enim tu loqueris de Ismael ”.
