Jeremias assures the remnant of the people, that if they will stay in Juda, they shall be safe; but if they go down into Egypt, they shall perish.

1Then all the captains of the warriors, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Jezonias, the son of Osaias, and the rest of the people from the least to the greatest came near:Andarono tutti i capi delle milizie, e Johanan figliuolo di Caree, e Jezonia figliuolo di Osaia, e tutto il rimanente del volgo, piccoli, e grandi,AND there came al the Princes of the men of warre, and Iohanan the sonne of Caree, and Iezonias the sonne of Osaias, and the rest of the common people from litle vnto great:Et accesserunt omnes principes bellatorum, et Johanan filius Caree, et Jezonias filius Osaiæ, et reliquum vulgus, a parvo usque ad magnum, 2And they said to Jeremias the prophet: Let our supplication fall before thee: and pray thou for us to the Lord thy God for all this remnant, for we are left but a few of many, as thy eyes do behold us.E dissero a Geremia profeta: Siano accette dinanzi a te le nostre suppliche, e prega il Signore Dio tuo per noi, e per tutti questi avanzi, che pochi siano noi rimasi di molti, che eravamo, con forme tu vedi cogli occhi tuoi,And they said to Ieremie the prophet: Let our prayer fal in thy sight: and pray for vs to the Lord thy God for al this remnant, because we are left few of manie, as thine eies doe behold vs.dixeruntque ad Jeremiam prophetam: Cadat oratio nostra in conspectu tuo, et ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum tuum, pro universis reliquiis istis, quia derelicti sumus pauci de pluribus, sicut oculi tui non intuentur: 3And let the Lord thy God shew us the way by which we may walk, and the thing that we must do.E faccia il Signore Dio tuo conoscere a noi la via, per cui dobbiam camminare, e quello, che abbiam da fare.And let our Lord thy God tel vs the way, by which we may goe, and the word that we must doe.et annuntiet nobis Dominus Deus tuus viam per quam pergamus, et verbum quod faciamus. 4And Jeremias the prophet said to them: I have heard you: behold I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words: and whatsoever thing he shall answer me, I will declare it to you: and I will hide nothing from you.E il profeta Geremia disse loro: Ho inteso: ecco, che io farò orazione al Signore Dio vostro a tenore delle vostre parole: qualunque cosa mi risponderà il Signore, io ve la annunzierò, e nulla vi terrò celato.And Ieremie the prophet said to them: I haue heard: behold I pray to our Lord your God according to your wordes: euerie word whatsoeuer he shal answer me, I wil tel you: neither wil I conceale from you anie thing.Dixit autem ad eos Jeremias propheta: Audivi. Ecce ego oro ad Dominum Deum vestrum secundum verba vestra: omne verbum quodcumque responderit mihi indicabo vobis, nec celabo vos quidquam.

5And they said to Jeremias: The Lord be witness between us of truth and faithfulness, if we do not according to every thing for which the Lord thy God shall send thee to us.E quegli dissero a Geremia: Il Signore sia testimone tra noi della verità, e della sincerità nostra, se noi non faremo appuntino tutto quello, che il Signore Dio tuo manderà a dire a noi per bocca tua.And they said to Ieremie: Be our Lord witnes betwen vs of truth and faith, if we doe not according to euerie word, for the which our Lord, thy God shal send thee to vs.Et illi dixerunt ad Jeremiam: Sit Dominus inter nos testis veritatis et fidei, si non juxta omne verbum in quo miserit te Dominus Deus tuus ad nos, sic faciemus: 6Whether it be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee: that it may be well with us when we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.Dolce, od acerba, che ella sia, noi ubbidiremo alla voce del Signore Dio nostro, verso del quale noi ti mandiamo: affinchè abbian felice esito le cose nostre, quando avremo ascoltata la voce del Signore Dio nostro.Whether it be good, or euil, we wil obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee: that it may be wel with vs, when we shal heare the voice of the Lord our God.sive bonum est, sive malum, voci Domini Dei nostri, ad quem mittimus te, obediemus, ut bene sit nobis cum audierimus vocem Domini Dei nostri. 7Now after ten days, the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.E passati che furono dieci giorni, il Signore parlò a Geremia:And when ten dayes were accomplished, the word of our Lord was made to Ieremie.Cum autem completi essent decem dies, factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, 8And he called Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the fighting men that were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest.Ed egli chiamò Johanan figliuolo di Caree, e tutti i capi delle milizie, che erano con lui, e tutto il popolo, piccoli, e grandi.And he called Iohanan the sonne of Caree, and al the princes of the men of warre, that were with him, and the whole people from litle to great.vocavitque Johanan filium Caree, et omnes principes bellatorum qui erant cum eo, et universum populum, a minimo usque ad magnum. 9And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, to present your supplications before him:E disse loro: Queste cose dice il Signore Dio d'Israele, verso del quale mi avete mandato, perch'io umiliassi davanti a lui le vostre preghiere:And he said to them: Thus saith our Lord the God of Israel, to whom you sent me, that I should prostrate your prayers in his sight:Et dixit ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël, ad quem misistis me ut prosternerem preces vestras in conspectu ejus:

10If you will be quiet and remain in this land, I will build you up, and not pull you down: I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for now I am appeased for the evil that I have done to you.Se voi starete tranquilli in questa terra, io vi ristorerò, e non vi distruggerò: vi pianterò, e non vi sradicherò: imperocché io son già placato col male, che vi ho fatto.If resting you wil abide in this land, I wil build you, and not destroy you; I wil plant, and not plucke you vp: for now I am pacified vpon the euil that I haue done to you.Si quiescentes manseritis in terra hac, ædificabo vos, et non destruam: plantabo, et non evellam: jam enim placatus sum super malo quod feci vobis. 11Fear not because of the king of Babylon, of whom you are greatly afraid: fear him not, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.Non temete il re di Babilonia, di cui voi avete tanto spavento, noi temete, dice il Signore; perocché io sono con voi per salvarvi, e liberarvi dalle sue mani.Feare not at the face of the king of Babylon, of whom you being feareful are afraid: feare him not, saith our Lord: because I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you out of his hand.Nolite timere a facie regis Babylonis, quem vos pavidi formidatis: nolite metuere eum, dicit Dominus, quia vobiscum sum ego ut salvos vos faciam, et eruam de manu ejus: 12And I will shew mercies to you, and will take pity on you, and will cause you to dwell in your own land.E farò misericordia con voi, e avrò di voi pietà, e farò, che abitiate nella vostra terra.And I wil geue you mercies, and wil haue mercie vpon you, and wil make you dwel in your owne land.et dabo vobis misericordias, et miserebor vestri, et habitare vos faciam in terra vestra. 13But if you say: We will not dwell in this land, neither will we hearken to the voice of the Lord our God,Ma se voi direte: Noi non abiteremo in questa terra, e non ubbidiremo alla voce del Signore Dio nostro,But if you shal say: We wil not dwel in this land, neither wil we heare the voice of the Lord our God,Si autem dixeritis vos: Non habitabimus in terra ista, nec audiemus vocem Domini Dei nostri, 14Saying: No, but we will go into the land of Egypt: where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor suffer hunger: and there we will dwell.E direte: Non sia così: ma noi ce n'anderemo nella terra d'Egitto, dove non vedremo la faccia della guerra, e non udiremo romor di tromba, e non patiremo la fame, ed ivi ce ne staremo:saying: No, not so, but we wil goe forward to the Land of Aegypt: where we shal not see warre, and not heare the sound of the trumpet, and shal not susteyne famine: and there we wil dwel.dicentes: Nequaquam, sed ad terram Ægypti pergemus, ubi non videbimus bellum, et clangorem tubæ non audiemus, et famem non sustinebimus, et ibi habitabimus:

15For this now hear the word of the Lord, ye remnant of Juda: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to go into Egypt, and enter in to dwell there:Udite adesso sopra di questo la Parola del Signore, o avanzi di Giuda: Queste cose dice il Signore degli eserciti, il Dio d'Israele: Se voi vi ostinerete a voler andare in Egitto, e vi anderete per abitarvi,For this now heare the word of our Lord ye remnant of Iuda: Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel: If you shal set your face to goe into Aegypt, and shal enter to inhabite there:propter hoc nunc audite verbum Domini, reliquiæ Juda: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Si posueritis faciem vestram ut ingrediamini Ægyptum, et intraveritis ut ibi habitetis, 16The sword which you fear, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt: and the famine, whereof you are afraid, shall cleave to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.La spada, di cui temete, vi troverà nella terra d'Egitto, e la fame, di cui vi mettete in pena, sarà addosso a voi nell'Egitto, ed ivi morrete.the sword which you feare, shal there take you in the Land of Aegypt: and the famine, for the which you are careful, shal cleeue to you in Aegypt, and there you shal dye.gladius quem vos formidatis ibi comprehendet vos in terra Ægypti: et fames, pro qua estis solliciti, adhærebit vobis in Ægypto, et ibi moriemini. 17And all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt, to dwell there, shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of them shall remain, nor escape from the face of the evil that I will bring upon them.E tutti coloro, che si saranno ostinati a voler andar in Egitto per ivi abitare, morranno di spada, di fame, e di peste: nissuno di essi resterà in vita, né fuggirà il male, ch'io farò cadere sopra ai loro;And al the men, that shal set their face to goe into Aegypt, to dwel there, shal dye by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence: none of them shal remaine, nor escape from the face of the euil, that I wil bring vpon them.Omnesque viri qui posuerunt faciem suam ut ingrediantur Ægyptum, ut habitent ibi, morientur gladio, et fame, et peste: nullus de eis remanebit, nec effugiet a facie mali quod ego afferam super eos. 18For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my indignation hath been kindled against the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so shall my indignation be kindled against you, when you shall enter into Egypt, and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach: and you shall see this place no more.Imperocché queste cose dice il Signore degli eserciti, il Dio d'Israele: Come si accese il furor mio, e la mia indegnazione contro gli abitanti di Gerusalemme; così si accenderà la mia indegnazione contro di voi, quando sarete entrati in Egitto, e sarete oggetto di esecrazione, di spavento, di maledizione, e di obbrobrio, e non vedrete mai più questo luogo.Because thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel: As my furie is powred our, and mine indignation vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shal mine indignation be powred out vpon you, when you shal be entered into Aegypt, and you shal be into an othe, and into astonishment, and into a curse, and into reproch: and you shal no more see this place.Quia hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Sicut conflatus est furor meus et indignatio mea super habitatores Jerusalem, sic conflabitur indignatio mea super vos cum ingressi fueritis Ægyptum: et eritis in jusjurandum, et in stuporem, et in maledictum, et in opprobrium, et nequaquam ultra videbitis locum istum.

19This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O ye remnant of Juda: Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have adjured you this day.Il Signore parla a voi, o avanzi di Giuda: Non andate in Egitto: tenete ben a mente, che io ve l'ho protestato in questo dì,The word of our Lord is vpon you ô remnant of Iuda: Enter not into Aegypt: knowing you shal know that I haue adiured you this day,Verbum Domini super vos, reliquiæ Juda: Nolite intrare Ægyptum: scientes scietis, quia obtestatus sum vos hodie, 20For you have deceived your own souls: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord our God shall say to thee, so declare unto us, and we will do it.Conciossiachè voi avete ingannate le anime vostre: mentre voi mi avete mandato a parlare al Signore Dio nostro, dicendo: Prega per noi il Signore Dio nostro, e tutto quello, che il Signore Dio nostro dirà a te, riferiscilo tu a noi, e noi il faremo.because you haue deceiued your soules: for you sent me to the Lord our God, saying: Pray for vs to the Lord our God, and according to al thinges whatsoeuer the Lord our God shal say to thee, so tel vs, and we wil doe.quia decepistis animas vestras. Vos enim misistis me ad Dominum Deum nostrum, dicentes: Ora pro nobis ad Dominum Deum nostrum, et juxta omnia quæcumque dixerit tibi Dominus Deus noster, sic annuntia nobis, et faciemus. 21And now I have declared it to you this day, and you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, with regard to all the things for which he hath sent me to you.Ed io oggi ve l'ho riferito, e voi non avete ascoltata la voce del Signore Dio vostro riguardo a tutte quelle cose, delle quali mi ha mandato a parlarvi.And I haue told you this day, and you haue not heard the voice of the Lord your God concerning al thinges, for which he hath sent me to you.Et annuntiavi vobis hodie, et non audistis vocem Domini Dei vestri super universis pro quibus misit me ad vos. 22Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence in the place to which you desire to go to dwell there.Ora adunque tenete ben a mente, che voi morrete di spada, di fame, e di peste colà, dove avete voluto andare per abitarvi.Now therefore knowing you shal know that by sword, and famine, and pestilence you shal dye in the place, to which you would enter for to dwel there.Nunc ergo scientes scietis quia gladio, et fame, et peste moriemini in loco ad quem voluistis intrare ut habitaretis ibi.
