Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.
1Verba Jeremiæ filii Helciæ, de sacerdotibus qui fuerunt in Anathoth, in terra Benjamin.
2The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah,
2Quod factum est verbum Domini ad eum in diebus Josiæ filii Amon, regis Juda, in tertiodecimo anno regni ejus.
3and through the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, until the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.
3Et factum est in diebus Joakim filii Josiæ, regis Juda, usque ad consummationem undecimi anni Sedeciæ, filii Josiæ, regis Juda, usque ad transmigrationem Jerusalem, in mense quinto.
4The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
4Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:
5“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
5[Priusquam te formarem in utero, novi te, et antequam exires de vulva, sanctificavi te, et prophetam in gentibus dedi te.]
6“Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”
6Et dixi: [A, a, a, Domine Deus, ecce nescio loqui, quia puer ego sum.]
7But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak.
7Et dixit Dominus ad me: [Noli dicere: Puer sum: quoniam ad omnia quæ mittam te ibis, et universa quæcumque mandavero tibi loqueris.
8Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
8Ne timeas a facie eorum, quia tecum ego sum ut eruam te, dicit Dominus.]
9Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
9Et misit Dominus manum suam, et tetigit os meum, et dixit Dominus ad me: [Ecce dedi verba mea in ore tuo:
10See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”
10ecce constitui te hodie super gentes et super regna, ut evellas, et destruas, et disperdas, et dissipes, et ædifices, et plantes.]
11And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
11Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens: [Quid tu vides, Jeremia?] Et dixi: [Virgam vigilantem ego video.]
12“You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
12Et dixit Dominus ad me: [Bene vidisti: quia vigilabo ego super verbo meo, ut faciam illud.]
13Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?” “I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.”
13Et factum est verbum Domini secundo ad me, dicens: [Quid tu vides?] Et dixi: [Ollam succensam ego video, et faciem ejus a facie aquilonis.]
14Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster from the north will be poured out on all who live in the land.
14Et dixit Dominus ad me: [Ab aquilone pandetur malum super omnes habitatores terræ:
15For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD. “Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other cities of Judah.
15quia ecce ego convocabo omnes cognationes regnorum aquilonis, ait Dominus: et venient, et ponent unusquisque solium suum in introitu portarum Jerusalem, et super omnes muros ejus in circuitu, et super universas urbes Juda:
16I will pronounce My judgments against them for all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.
16et loquar judicia mea cum eis super omnem malitiam eorum qui dereliquerunt me, et libaverunt diis alienis, et adoraverunt opus manuum suarum.
17Get yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you before them.
17Tu ergo, accinge lumbos tuos, et surge, et loquere ad eos omnia quæ ego præcipio tibi. Ne formides a facie eorum, nec enim timere te faciam vultum eorum.
18Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land.
18Ego quippe dedi te hodie in civitatem munitam, et in columnam ferream, et in murum æreum, super omnem terram, regibus Juda, principibus ejus, et sacerdotibus, et populo terræ.
19They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
19Et bellabunt adversum te, et non prævalebunt, quia ego tecum sum, ait Dominus, ut liberem te.]
