Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
1Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens:
2“Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.
2Sta in porta domus Domini, et prædica ibi verbum istud, et dic: [Audite verbum Domini, omnis Juda, qui ingredimini per portas has ut adoretis Dominum.
3Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Correct your ways and deeds, and I will let you live in this place.
3Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Bonas facite vias vestras, et studia vestra, et habitabo vobiscum in loco isto.
4Do not trust in deceptive words, chanting: ‘This is the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD.’
4Nolite confidere in verbis mendacii, dicentes: Templum Domini, templum Domini, templum Domini est !
5For if you really correct your ways and deeds, if you act justly toward one another,
5Quoniam si bene direxeritis vias vestras, et studia vestra; si feceritis judicium inter virum et proximum ejus;
6if you no longer oppress the foreigner and the fatherless and the widow, and if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place or follow other gods to your own harm,
6advenæ, et pupillo, et viduæ non feceritis calumniam, nec sanguinem innocentem effuderitis in loco hoc, et post deos alienos non ambulaveritis in malum vobismetipsis:
7then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.
7habitabo vobiscum in loco isto, in terra quam dedi patribus vestris a sæculo et usque in sæculum.
8But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail.
8Ecce vos confiditis vobis in sermonibus mendacii, qui non proderunt vobis:
9Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known,
9furari, occidere, adulterari, jurare mendaciter, libare Baalim, et ire post deos alienos quos ignoratis:
10and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, ‘We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations’?
10et venistis, et stetistis coram me in domo hac, in qua invocatum est nomen meum, et dixistis: Liberati sumus, eo quod fecerimus omnes abominationes istas.
11Has this house, which bears My Name, become a den of robbers in your sight? Yes, I too have seen it, declares the LORD.
11Numquid ergo spelunca latronum facta est domus ista, in qua invocatum est nomen meum in oculis vestris? Ego, ego sum: ego vidi, dicit Dominus.
12But go now to the place in Shiloh where I first made a dwelling for My Name, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel.
12Ite ad locum meum in Silo, ubi habitavit nomen meum a principio, et videte quæ fecerim ei propter malitiam populi mei Israël.
13And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,
13Et 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:
14therefore what I did to Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
14faciam 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:
15And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.
15et projiciam vos a facie mea sicut projeci omnes fratres vestros, universum semen Ephraim.
16As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.
16Tu ergo, noli orare pro populo hoc, nec assumas pro eis laudem et orationem: et non obsistas mihi, quia non exaudiam te.
17Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
17Nonne vides quid isti faciunt in civitatibus Juda, et in plateis Jerusalem?
18The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.
18Filii colligunt ligna, et patres succendunt ignem, et mulieres conspergunt adipem, ut faciant placentas reginæ cæli, et libent diis alienis, et me ad iracundiam provocent.
19But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
19Numquid me ad iracundiam provocant? dicit Dominus; nonne semetipsos in confusionem vultus sui?
20Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
20Ideo 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.
21This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
21Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Holocautomata vestra addite victimis vestris, et comedite carnes:
22For when I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt, I did not merely command them about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
22quia non sum locutus cum patribus vestris, et non præcepi eis, in die qua eduxi eos de terra Ægypti, de verbo holocautomatum et victimarum:
23but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.
23sed 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.
24Yet they did not listen or incline their ear, but they followed the stubborn inclinations of their own evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
24Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam: sed abierunt in voluntatibus et in pravitate cordis sui mali: factique sunt retrorsum, et non in ante,
25From the day your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have sent you all My servants the prophets again and again.
25a 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:
26Yet they would not listen to Me or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and did more evil than their fathers.
26et non audierunt me, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam: sed induraverunt cervicem suam, et pejus operati sunt quam patres eorum.]
27When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.
27Et loqueris ad eos omnia verba hæc, et non audient te: et vocabis eos, et non respondebunt tibi.
28Therefore you must say to them, ‘This is the nation that would not listen to the voice of the LORD their God and would not receive correction. Truth has perished; it has disappeared from their lips.
28Et dices ad eos: [Hæc est gens quæ non audivit vocem Domini Dei sui, nec recepit disciplinam; periit fides, et ablata est de ore eorum.
29Cut off your hair and throw it away. Raise up a lamentation on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’
29Tonde capillum tuum, et projice, et sume in directum planctum: quia projecit Dominus et reliquit generationem furoris sui;
30For the people of Judah have done evil in My sight, declares the LORD. They have set up their abominations in the house that bears My Name, and so have defiled it.
30quia fecerunt filii Juda malum in oculis meis, dicit Dominus. Posuerunt offendicula sua in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum, ut polluerent eam:
31They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Hinnom so they could burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I never commanded, nor did it even enter My mind.
31et 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.
32So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth and the Valley of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room.
32Ideo 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.
33The corpses of this people will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and there will be no one to scare them away.
33Et erit morticinum populi hujus in cibos volucribus cæli et bestiis terræ, et non erit qui abigat.
34I will remove from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem the sounds of joy and gladness and the voices of the bride and bridegroom, for the land will become a wasteland.”
34Et quiescere faciam de urbibus Juda, et de plateis Jerusalem, vocem gaudii et vocem lætitiæ, vocem sponsi et vocem sponsæ: in desolationem enim erit terra.]
