| 1 |
et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
|
| 2 |
non accipies uxorem et non erunt tibi filii et filiae in loco isto
Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons and daughters in this place.
|
| 3 |
quia haec dicit Dominus super filios et filias qui generantur in loco isto et super matres eorum quae genuerunt eos et super patres eorum de quorum stirpe sunt nati in terra hac
For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and daughters, that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bore them: and concerning their fathers, of whom they were born in this land:
|
| 4 |
mortibus aegrotationum morientur non plangentur et non sepelientur in sterquilinium super faciem terrae erunt et gladio et fame consumentur et erit cadaver eorum in escam volatilibus caeli et bestiis terrae
They shall die by the death of grievous illnesses: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be buried, they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed with the sword, and with famine: and their carcasses shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth.
|
| 5 |
haec enim dicit Dominus ne ingrediaris domum convivii neque vadas ad plangendum neque consoleris eos quia abstuli pacem meam a populo isto dicit Dominus misericordiam et miserationes
For thus saith the Lord: Enter not into the house of feasting, neither go thou to mourn, nor to comfort them: because I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the Lord, my mercy and commiserations.
|
| 6 |
et morientur grandes et parvi in terra ista non sepelientur neque plangentur et non se incident neque calvitium fiet pro eis
Both the great and the little shall die in this land: they shall not be buried nor lamented, and men shall not cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them.
|
| 7 |
et non frangent inter eos lugenti panem ad consolandum super mortuo et non dabunt eis potum calicis ad consolandum super patre suo et matre
And they shall not break bread among them to him that mourneth, to comfort him for the dead: neither shall they give them for their father and mother.
|
| 8 |
et domum convivii non ingredieris ut sedeas cum eis et comedas et bibas
And do not thou go into the house of feasting, to sit with them, and to eat and drink:
|
| 9 |
quia haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego auferam de loco isto in oculis vestris et in diebus vestris vocem gaudii et vocem laetitiae vocem sponsi et vocem sponsae
For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will take away out of this place in your sight, and in your days the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
|
| 10 |
et cum adnuntiaveris populo huic omnia verba haec et dixerint tibi quare locutus est Dominus super nos omne malum grande istud quae iniquitas nostra et quod peccatum nostrum quod peccavimus Domino Deo nostro
And when thou shalt tell this people all these words, and they shall say to thee: Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced against us all this great evil? what is our iniquity? and what is our sin, that we have sinned against the Lord our God?
|
| 11 |
dices ad eos quia dereliquerunt patres vestri me ait Dominus et abierunt post deos alienos et servierunt eis et adoraverunt eos et me dereliquerunt et legem meam non custodierunt
Thou shalt say to them: Because your fathers forsook me, saith the Lord: and went after strange gods, and served them, and adored them: and they forsook me, and kept not my law.
|
| 12 |
sed et vos peius operati estis quam patres vestri ecce enim ambulat unusquisque post pravitatem cordis sui mali ut me non audiat
And you also have done worse than your fathers: for behold every one of you walketh after the perverseness of his evil heart, so as not to hearken to me.
|
| 13 |
et eiciam vos de terra hac in terram quam ignoratis vos et patres vestri et servietis ibi diis alienis die ac nocte qui non dabunt vobis requiem
So I will cast you forth out of this land, into a land which you know not, nor your fathers: and there you shall serve strange gods day and night, which shall not give you any rest.
|
| 14 |
propterea ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et non dicetur ultra vivit Dominus qui eduxit filios Israhel de terra Aegypti
Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, when it shall be said no more: The Lord liveth, that brought forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
|
| 15 |
sed vivit Dominus qui eduxit filios Israhel de terra aquilonis et de universis terris ad quas eieci eos et reducam eos in terram suam quam dedi patribus eorum
But, The Lord liveth, that brought the children of Israel out of the land of the north, and out of all the lands to which I cast them out: and I will bring them again into their land, which I gave to their fathers.
|
| 16 |
ecce ego mittam piscatores multos dicit Dominus et piscabuntur eos et post haec mittam eis multos venatores et venabuntur eos de omni monte et de omni colle et de cavernis petrarum
Behold I will send many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them: and after this I will send them many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill and out of the holes of the rocks.
|
| 17 |
quia oculi mei super omnes vias eorum non sunt absconditae a facie mea et non fuit occulta iniquitas eorum ab oculis meis
For my eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, and their iniquity hath not been hid from my eyes.
|
| 18 |
et reddam primum duplices iniquitates et peccata eorum quia contaminaverunt terram meam in morticinis idolorum suorum et abominationibus suis impleverunt hereditatem meam
And I will repay first their double iniquities, and their sins: because they have defiled my land with the carcasses of their idols, and they have filled my inheritance with their abominations.
|
| 19 |
Domine fortitudo mea et robur meum et refugium meum in die tribulationis ad te gentes venient ab extremis terrae et dicent vere mendacium possederunt patres nostri vanitatem quae eis non profuit
O Lord, my might, and my strength, and my refuge in the day of tribulation: to thee the Gentiles shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say: Surely our fathers have possessed lies, a vanity which hath not profited them.
|
| 20 |
numquid faciet sibi homo deos et ipsi non sunt dii
Shall a man make gods unto himself and they are no gods?
|
| 21 |
idcirco ecce ego ostendam eis per vicem hanc ostendam eis manum meam et virtutem meam et scient quia nomen mihi Dominus
Therefore behold I will this once cause them to know, I will shew them my hand and my power: and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
