| 1 | Now king Sedecias the son of Josias reigned instead of Jechonias the son of Joakim: whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon made king in the land of Juda. | Et regnavit rex Sedecias filius Iosiae pro Iechonia filio Ioakim, quem constituit regem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis in terra Iuda: |
| 2 | But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land did obey the words of the Lord, that he spoke in the hand of Jeremias the prophet. | et non obedivit ipse, et servi eius, et populus terrae, verbis Domini, quae locutus est in manu Ieremiae prophetae. |
| 3 | And king Sedecias sent Juchal the son of Selemias, and Sophonias the son of Maasias the priest to Jeremias the prophet, saying: Pray to the Lord our God for us. | Et misit rex Sedecias Iuchal filium Selemiae, et Sophoniam filium Maasiae, sacerdotem, ad Ieremiam prophetam, dicens: Ora pro nobis Dominum Deum nostrum. |
| 4 | Now Jeremias walked freely in the midst of the people: for they had not as yet cast him into prison. And the army of Pharao was come out of Egypt: and the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem, hearing these tidings, departed from Jerusalem. | Ieremias autem libere ambulabat in medio populi: non enim miserant eum in custodiam carceris. Igitur exercitus Pharaonis egressus est de Aegypto, et audientes Chaldaei qui obsidebant Ierusalem, huiuscemodi nuntium, recesserunt ab Ierusalem. |
| 5 | And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, saying: | Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam, dicens: |
| 6 | Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Juda, who sent you to inquire of me: Behold the army of Pharao, which is come forth to help you, shall return into their own land, into Egypt. | Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Sic dicetis regi Iuda, qui misit vos ad me interrogandum: Ecce exercitus Pharaonis, qui egressus est vobis in auxilium, revertetur in terram suam in Aegyptum: |
| 7 | And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. | et redient Chaldaei, et bellabunt contra civitatem hanc, et capient eam, et succendent eam igni. |
| 8 | Thus saith the Lord: Deceive not your souls, saying: The Chaldeans shall surely depart and go away from us: for they shall not go away; | Haec dicit Dominus: Nolite decipere animas vestras, dicentes: Euntes abibunt, et recedent a nobis Chaldaei: quia non abibunt. |
| 9 | But if you should even beat all the army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left of them some wounded men: they shall rise up, every man from his tent, and burn this city with Are. | Sed etsi percusseritis omnem exercitum Chaldaeorum qui praeliantur adversum vos, et derelicti fuerint ex eis aliqui vulnerati, singuli de tentorio suo consurgent, et incendent civitatem hanc igni. |
| 10 | Now when the army of the Chaldeans was gone away from Jerusalem, because of Pharao’s army, | Ergo cum recessisset exercitus Chaldaeorum ab Ierusalem, propter exercitum Pharaonis, |
| 11 | Jeremias went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin: and to divide a possession there in the presence of the citizens. | egressus est Ieremias de Ierusalem ut iret in terram Beniamin, et divideret ibi possessionem in conspectu civium. |
| 12 | And when he was come to the gate of Benjamin, the captain of the gate, who I was there in his turn, was one named Jerias, the son of Selemias, the son of Hananias: and he took hold of Jeremias the prophet, saying: Thou art fleeing to the Chaldeans. | Cumque pervenisset ad portam Beniamin, erat ibi custos portae per vices, nomine Ierias filius Selemiae filii Hananiae: et apprehendit Ieremiam prophetam, dicens: Ad Chaldaeos profugis. |
| 13 | And Jeremias answered: It is not so, I am not fleeing to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Jerias took Jeremias and brought him to the princes. | Et respondit Ieremias: Falsum est: non fugio ad Chaldaeos. Et non audivit eum, sed comprehendit Ierias Ieremiam, et adduxit eum ad principes: |
| 14 | Wherefore the princes were angry with Jeremias, and they beat him, and cast him into the prison that was in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for he was chief over the prison. | quam ob rem irati principes contra Ieremiam, caesum eum miserunt in carcerem qui erat in domo Ionathan scribae: ipse enim praepositus erat super carcerem. |
| 15 | So Jeremias went into the house of the prison, and into the dungeon: and Jeremias remained there many days. | Itaque ingressus est Ieremias in domum laci et in ergastulum: et sedit ibi Ieremias diebus multis. |
| 16 | Then Sedecias the king, sending, took him: and asked him secretly in his house, and said: Is there, thinkest thou, any word from the Lord? And Jeremias said: There is. And he said: Thou shalt be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. | Mittens autem Sedecias rex, tulit eum: et interrogavit eum in domo sua abscondite, et dixit: Putasne est sermo a Domino? Et dixit Ieremias: Est: et ait: In manus regis Babylonis traderis. |
| 17 | And Jeremias said to king Sedecias: In what have I offended against thee, or thy servants, or thy people, that thou hast cast me into prison? | Et dixit Ieremias ad regem Sedeciam: Quid peccavi tibi, et servis tuis, et populo tuo, quia misisti me in domum carceris? |
| 18 | Where are your prophets that prophesied to you, and said: The king of Babylon shall not come against you, and against this land? | ubi sunt prophetae vestri, qui prophetabant vobis, et dicebant: Non veniet rex Babylonis super vos, et super terram hanc? |
| 19 | Now therefore hear, I beseech thee, my lord the king: let my petition be accepted in thy sight: and send me not back into the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there. | Nunc ergo audi, obsecro, domine mi rex: valeat deprecatio mea in conspectu tuo, et ne me remittas in domum Ionathan scribae, ne moriar ibi. |
| 20 | Then king Sedecias commanded that Jeremias should be committed into the entry of the prison: and that they should give him daily a piece of bread, beside broth, till all the bread in the city were spent: and Jeremias remained in the entry of the prison. | Praecepit ergo rex Sedecias ut traderetur Ieremias in vestibulo carceris, et daretur ei torta panis quotidie, excepto pulmento, donec consumerentur omnes panes de civitate: et mansit Ieremias in vestibulo carceris. |
