Jeremiah 27

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:	1 In principio regni Sedeciae filii Iosiae regis Iudae factum est verbumistud ad Ieremiam a Domino dicens:
2 “Thus says the Lord to me: Make bands and chains for yourself. And you shall place them on your neck.	2 “ Haec dicit Dominus ad me: Fac tibivincula et iuga et pones ea in collo tuo
3 And you shall send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who came to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, the king of Judah.	3 et mittes ea ad regem Edom et adregem Moab et ad regem filiorum Ammon et ad regem Tyri et ad regem Sidonis inmanu nuntiorum, qui venerunt Ierusalem ad Sedeciam regem Iudae;
4 And you shall instruct them to say to their masters: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: You shall say these things to your masters:	4 et praecipieseis, ut ad dominos suos loquantur: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel:Haec dicetis ad dominos vestros:
5 I made the earth, and the men and beasts which are upon the face of the earth, by my great strength and by my outstretched arm. And I have given it to whomever it was pleasing in my eyes.	5 Ego feci terram et hominem et iumenta, quaesunt super faciem terrae, in fortitudine mea magna et in brachio meo extento etdedi eam ei, qui placuit in oculis meis.
6 And now, therefore, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant. Moreover, I have given to him also the beasts of the field, so that they may serve him.	6 Et nunc itaque ego dedi omnes terrasistas in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis servi mei, insuper et bestias agridedi ei, ut serviant illi;
7 And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and his son’s son. Many nations and great kings will serve him, until the time arrives for him and his land.	7 et servient ei omnes gentes et filio eius et filiofilii eius, donec veniat tempus terrae eius etiam ipsius; et servient ei gentesmultae et reges magni.
8 But the nation or kingdom that will not serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and whoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, says the Lord, until I consume them by his hand.	8 Gens autem et regnum, quod non servierit Nabuchodonosorregi Babylonis, et quicumque non curvaverit collum suum sub iugo regisBabylonis, in gladio et in fame et in peste visitabo super gentem illam, aitDominus, donec consumam eos in manu eius.
9 Therefore, you should not choose to listen to your own prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, who say to you: ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’	9 Vos ergo nolite audire prophetasvestros et divinos et somniatores et augures et maleficos, qui dicunt vobis: “Nonservietis regi Babylonis”,
10 For they prophesy lies to you, so that they may cause you to be far from your own country, and may cast you out, and may cause you to perish.	10 quia mendacium prophetant vobis, ut longe vosfaciant de terra vestra, et eiciam vos, et pereatis.
11 Furthermore, the nation which will bend its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and which will serve him, I will permit them to remain in their own land, says the Lord. And they will cultivate it, and they will live in it.”	11 Porro gens, quaesubiecerit cervicem suam sub iugo regis Babylonis et servierit ei, dimittam eamin terra sua, dicit Dominus, et colet eam et habitabit in ea ”.
12 And I spoke to Zedekiah, the king of Judah, according to all these words, saying: “Subject your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and you will live.	12 Et ad Sedeciam regem Iudae locutus sum secundum omnia verba haec dicens: “Subicite colla vestra sub iugo regis Babylonis et servite ei et populo eius, etvivetis.
13 Why should you suffer death, you and your people, by the sword, and famine, and pestilence, just as the Lord has spoken against any nation that refuses to serve the king of Babylon?	13 Quare moriemini tu et populus tuus gladio, fame et peste, sicutlocutus est Dominus ad gentem, quae servire noluerit regi Babylonis?
14 Do not choose to listen to the words of the prophets, saying to you: ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ For they are speaking a lie to you.	14 Noliteaudire verba prophetarum dicentium vobis: “Non servietis regi Babylonis”,quia mendacium ipsi loquuntur vobis.
15 For I have not sent them, says the Lord. And they prophesy falsely in my name, so that they may cast you out, and so that you may perish, both you and the prophets who make predictions for you.”	15 Quia non misi eos, ait Dominus, et ipsiprophetant in nomine meo mendaciter, ut eiciam vos et pereatis, tam vos quamprophetae, qui vaticinantur vobis ”.
16 I spoke also to the priests and to this people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Do not choose to listen to the words of your prophets, who prophesy to you, saying: ‘Behold, the vessels of the Lord will now quickly be returned from Babylon.’ For they are prophesying to you a lie.	16 Et ad sacerdotes et ad populum istum locutus sum dicens: “ Haec dicitDominus: Nolite audire verba prophetarum vestrorum, qui prophetant vobisdicentes: “Ecce vasa domus Domini revertentur de Babylone nunc cito”.Mendacium enim prophetant vobis.
17 Therefore, do not choose to listen to them, but instead, serve the king of Babylon, so that you may live. Why should this city be given over into desolation?	17 Nolite ergo audire eos, sed servite regiBabylonis, ut vivatis. Quare datur haec civitas in solitudinem?
18 But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, then let them intercede before the Lord of hosts, so that the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.	18 Et siprophetae sunt, et est verbum Domini in eis, occurrant Domino exercituum, ut nonveniant vasa, quae derelicta fuerant in domo Domini et in domo regis Iudae et inIerusalem, in Babylonem ”.
19 For thus says the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea of brass, and to the bases, and to the remainder of the vessels that have been left behind in this city,	19 Quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum ad columnaset ad mare et ad bases et ad reliqua vasorum, quae remanserunt in civitate hac,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, did not take when he carried away Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, from Jerusalem into Babylon, with all the nobility of Judah and Jerusalem:	20 quae non tulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, cum transferret Iechoniam filiumIoachim regem Iudae de Ierusalem in Babylonem et omnes optimates Iudae etIerusalem;
21 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to the vessels that were left behind in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and Jerusalem:	21 quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel, ad vasa, quaederelicta sunt in domo Domini et in domo regis Iudae et Ierusalem:
22 They shall be carried away to Babylon, and there they shall be, until the day of their visitation, says the Lord. And then I will cause them to be carried back, and to be restored to this place.	22 “InBabylonem transferentur et ibi erunt usque ad diem visitationis eorum, dicitDominus; et afferri faciam ea et restitui in loco isto ”.
