King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
1Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam prophetam contra gentes.
2Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
2Ad Ægyptum, adversum exercitum Pharaonis Nechao regis Ægypti, qui erat juxta fluvium Euphraten in Charcamis, quem percussit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, in quarto anno Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda.
3Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
3[Præparate scutum et clypeum, et procedite ad bellum.
4Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
4Jungite equos, et ascendite, equites: state in galeis, polite lanceas, induite vos loricis.
5Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD .
5Quid igitur? vidi ipsos pavidos, et terga vertentes, fortes eorum cæsos: fugerunt conciti, nec respexerunt: terror undique, ait Dominus.
6Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
6Non fugiat velox, nec salvari se putet fortis: ad aquilonem juxta flumen Euphraten victi sunt, et ruerunt.
7Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
7Quis est iste, qui quasi flumen ascendit, et veluti fluviorum intumescunt gurgites ejus?
8Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
8Ægyptus fluminis instar ascendit, et velut flumina movebuntur fluctus ejus, et dicet: Ascendens operiam terram: perdam civitatem, et habitatores ejus.
9Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
9Ascendite equos, et exsultate in curribus, et procedant fortes, Æthiopia et Libyes tenentes scutum, et Lydii arripientes et jacientes sagittas.
10For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
10Dies autem ille Domini Dei exercituum dies ultionis, ut sumat vindictam de inimicis suis: devorabit gladius, et saturabitur, et inebriabitur sanguine eorum: victima enim Domini Dei exercituum in terra aquilonis juxta flumen Euphraten.
11Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
11Ascende in Galaad, et tolle resinam, virgo filia Ægypti: frustra multiplicas medicamina: sanitas non erit tibi.
12The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
12Audierunt gentes ignominiam tuam, et ululatus tuus replevit terram: quia fortis impegit in fortem, et ambo pariter conciderunt.]
13¶ The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
13Verbum quod locutus est Dominus ad Jeremiam prophetam, super eo quod venturus esset Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et percussurus terram Ægypti:
14Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.
14[Annuntiate Ægypto, et auditum facite in Magdalo, et resonet in Memphis, et in Taphnis: dicite: Sta, et præpara te, quia devorabit gladius ea quæ per circuitum tuum sunt.
15Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
15Quare computruit fortis tuus? non stetit, quoniam Dominus subvertit eum.
16He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
16Multiplicavit ruentes, ceciditque vir ad proximum suum, et dicent: Surge, et revertamur ad populum nostrum, et ad terram nativitatis nostræ, a facie gladii columbæ.
17They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
17Vocate nomen Pharaonis regis Ægypti: tumultum adduxit tempus.
18As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
18Vivo ego, inquit Rex (Dominus exercituum nomen ejus), quoniam sicut Thabor in montibus, et sicut Carmelus in mari, veniet.
19O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
19Vasa transmigrationis fac tibi, habitatrix filia Ægypti: quia Memphis in solitudinem erit, et deseretur, et inhabitabilis erit.
20Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
20Vitula elegans atque formosa Ægyptus, stimulator ab aquilone veniet ei.
21Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
21Mercenarii quoque ejus, qui versabantur in medio ejus quasi vituli saginati, versi sunt, et fugerunt simul, nec stare potuerunt: quia dies interfectionis eorum venit super eos, tempus visitationis eorum.
22The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
22Vox ejus quasi æris sonabit: quoniam cum exercitu properabunt, et cum securibus venient ei quasi cædentes ligna.
23They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD , though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
23Succiderunt saltum ejus, ait Dominus, qui supputari non potest: multiplicati sunt super locustas, et non est eis numerus.
24The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
24Confusa est filia Ægypti, et tradita in manu populi aquilonis.
25The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
25Dixit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Ecce ego visitabo super tumultum Alexandriæ, et super Pharaonem, et super Ægyptum, et super deos ejus, et super reges ejus, et super Pharaonem, et super eos qui confidunt in eo:
26And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD .
26et dabo eos in manu quærentium animam eorum, et in manu Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis, et in manu servorum ejus: et post hæc habitabitur sicut diebus pristinis, ait Dominus.
27¶ But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
27Et tu ne timeas, serve meus Jacob, et ne paveas, Israël: quia ecce ego salvum te faciam de longinquo, et semen tuum de terra captivitatis tuæ: et revertetur Jacob, et requiescet, et prosperabitur, et non erit qui exterreat eum.
28Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD : for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
28Et tu noli timere, serve meus Jacob, ait Dominus, quia tecum ego sum: quia ego consumam cunctas gentes ad quas ejeci te, te vero non consumam: sed castigabo te in judicio, nec quasi innocenti parcam tibi.]
