19 — Geremia

1Thus saith the Lord: Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests:Queste cose dice il Signore: Va, e prendi da' seniori del popolo, da' seniori sacerdoti una bombola di terra cotta, lavoro del vasaio;THVS saith our Lord: Goe, and take a potters earthen bottel of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests:Hæc dicit Dominus: Vade, et accipe lagunculam figuli testeam a senioribus populi et a senioribus sacerdotum, 2And go forth into the valley of the son of Ennom, which is by the entry of the earthen gate: and there thou shalt proclaim the words that I shall tell thee.E vattene alla valle del figliuolo di Ennom, che è vicina all'ingresso della porta de' vasai; ed ivi annunzierai le parole, ch'io dirò a te,and goe forth to the valley of the sonne of Ennom, which is by the enterie of the earthen gate: and there thou shalt preach the wordes, that I wil speake to thee.et egredere ad vallem filii Ennom, quæ est juxta introitum portæ fictilis: et prædicabis ibi verba quæ ego loquar ad te. 3And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O ye kings of Juda, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring an affliction upon this place: so that whosoever shall hear it, his ears shall tingle:E dirai: Udite la Parola del Signore, o regi di Giuda, e abitanti di Gerusalemme: queste cose dice il Signore degli eserciti, il Dio d'Israele: Ecco, che io cader farò sopra questo luogo afflizione tale, che chiunque ne udirà parlare, gli fischieranno le orecchie:And thou shalt say: Heare the word of our Lord ye kinges of Iuda, and inhabitants of Ierusalem: Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel: Behold I wil bring in affliction vpon this place: so that euerie one, that shal heare it, his eares shal tingle:Et dices: Audite verbum Domini, / reges Juda, et habitatores Jerusalem. / Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: / Ecce ego inducam afflictionem super locum istum, / ita ut omnis qui audierit illam, tinniant aures ejus, 4Because they have forsaken me, and have profaned this place: and have sacrificed therein to strange gods, whom neither they nor their fathers knew, nor the kings of Juda: and they have filled this place with the blood of innocents.Perchè costoro mi hanno abbandonato, ed hanno profanato questo luogo; e ci hanno fatte libagioni a dei stranieri, ignoti ad essi, e a' padri loro, e a' regi di Giuda, ed hanno ripieno questo luogo di sangue innocente.because they haue forsaken me, and haue made this place strange: & they haue sacrificed therein to strange goddes, whō they, and their fathers, & the king of Iuda haue not knowen: and they haue filled this place with the bloud of innocents.eo quod dereliquerint me, / et alienum fecerint locum istum, / et libaverunt in eo diis alienis quos nescierunt, / ipsi et patres eorum, et reges Juda: / et repleverunt locum istum sanguine innocentum,

5And they have built the high places of Baalim, to burn their children with fire for a holocaust to Baalim: which I did not command, nor speak of, neither did it once come into my mind.Ed hanno fabbricato altare a Baal per bruciare nel fuoco i loro figli in olocausto a Baal: cose, che io non comandai, né dissi mai, né mi caddero in pensiero.And they haue built the excelses of Baalim, to burne their children with fire for holocaust to Baalim: which I commanded not, nor haue spoken of, neither haue they ascended into my hart.et ædificaverunt excelsa Baalim, / ad comburendos filios suos igni in holocaustum Baalim: / quæ non præcepi, nec locutus sum, / nec ascenderunt in cor meum. 6Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of the son of Ennom, but the valley of slaughter.Per questo ecco, che viene il tempo, dice il Signore, in cui questo luogo non sarà più chiamato Topheth, e Valle del figliuolo di Ennom, ma valle di uccisione.Therefore behold the daies come, saith our Lord: and this place shal no more be called, Topheth, and the valley of the sonne of Ennom, but the valley of slaughter.Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, / et non vocabitur amplius locus iste Topheth, / et vallis filii Ennom, / sed vallis occisionis. 7And I will defeat the counsel of Juda and of Jerusalem in this place: and I will destroy them with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their carcasses to be meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the earth.Ed io dissiperò in questo luogo i disegni di Giuda, e di Gerusalemme, e gli sterminerò colla spada in faccia de' lor nemici, e per mano di quegli, che cercano la loro perdizione: e i loro cadaveri darò in cibo agli uccelli dell'aria, e alle bestie della terra.And I wil dissipate the counsel of Iuda and Ierusalem in this place: and I wil subuerte them with the sword in the sight of their enemies, and in the hand of them that seeke their liues: and I wil geue their carcasses to be meate for the foules of the ayre, and for the beastes of the earth.Et dissipabo consilium Juda et Jerusalem in loco isto, / et subvertam eos gladio in conspectu inimicorum suorum, / et in manu quærentium animas eorum: / et dabo cadavera eorum escam volatilibus cæli et bestiis terræ. 8And I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss because of all the plagues thereof.E questa città la farò io argomento di spavento, e di scherno: tutti coloro, che passeranno per essa, resteranno atterriti, e insulteranno a tutte le sue sciagure.And I wil make this citie into astonishment, and into hissing: euerie one that shal passe by it, shal be astonished, & shal hisse vpon al the plague therof.Et ponam civitatem hanc in stuporem, et in sibilum: / omnis qui præterierit per eam obstupescet, / et sibilabit super universa plaga ejus.

9And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons, and with the flesh of their daughters: and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege, and in the distress wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.E ciberò costoro colle carni de' loro figliuoli, e delle loro figlie; e l'amico mangerà la carne del suo amico nel tempo dell'assedio, e nelle strettezze, alle quali saran ridotti da' loro nemici, che vogliono la lor perdizione.And I wil feede them with the flesh of their sonnes, and with the flesh of their daughters: and euerie one shal eate the flesh of his freind in the siege, and in the distresse, wherein their enemies shal include them, & they that seeke their liues.Et cibabo eos carnibus filiorum suorum et carnibus filiarum suarum: / et unusquisque carnem amici sui comedet in obsidione, / et in angustia in qua concludent eos inimici eorum, / et qui quærunt animas eorum. 10And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that shall go with thee.E tu spezzerai la bombola sugli occhi di coloro, che saranno teco.And thou shalt breake the bottel in the sight of the men, that shal goe with thee.Et conteres lagunculam in oculis virorum qui ibunt tecum, 11And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Even so will I break this people, and this city, as the potter’s vessel is broken, which cannot be made whole again: and they shall be buried in Topheth, because there is no other place to bury in.E dirai loro: Queste cose dice il Signore degli eserciti: In tal guisa io spezzerò questo popolo, e questa città, come si spezza un vaso di terra cotta, che non può più restaurarsi: e in Topheth saran sepolti, per non esservi altro luogo da seppellirli.And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hostes: So wil I breake this people, and this citie, as the potters vessel is broken, that can no more be repaired: and they shal be buried in Topheth, because there is no other place to burie in.et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: / Sic conteram populum istum, et civitatem istam, / sicut conteritur vas figuli, / quod non potest ultra instaurari: / et in Topheth sepelientur, / eo quod non sit alius locus ad sepeliendum. 12Thus will I do to this place, saith the Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I will make this city as Topheth.Queste cose farò io a questo luogo, e a' suoi abitanti, dice il Signore: e questa città la farò simile a Topheth.So wil I doe to this place, saith our Lord, and to the inhabitants thereof: and I wil make this citie as Topheth.Sic faciam loco huic, ait Dominus, / et habitatoribus ejus, / et ponam civitatem istam sicut Topheth.

13And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Juda shall be unclean as the place of Topheth: all the houses upon whose roofs they have sacrificed to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to strange gods.E le case di Gerusalemme, e la casa de' re di Giuda saranno immonde come il luogo di Topheth: tutte queste case, su' tetti delle quali faceansi sagrifizj a tutta la milizia del cielo, e libagioni agli dei stranieri.And the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses of the kinges of Iuda shal be as the place of Topheth, vncleane: al houses, in the toppes whereof they haue sacrificed to al the host of heauen, and haue offered libaments to strange goddes.Et erunt domus Jerusalem, / et domus regum Juda, / sicut locus Topheth, immundæ, / omnes domus in quarum domatibus sacrificaverunt omni militiæ cæli, / et libaverunt libamina diis alienis. 14Then Jeremias came from Topheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the house of the Lord, and said to all the people:E se n'andò Geremia da Topheth, dove lo avea mandato il Signore a profetare, e si fermò nell'atrio della casa del Signore, e disse a tutto il popolo:And Ieremie came from Topheth, whither our Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stoode in the court of the house of our Lord, and said to al the people:Venit autem Jeremias de Topheth, quo miserat eum Dominus ad prophetandum, et stetit in atrio domus Domini, et dixit ad omnem populum: 15Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold I will bring in upon this city, and upon all the cities thereof all the evils that I have spoken against it: because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.Queste cose dice il Signore degli eserciti, il Dio d'Israele: Ecco, che io manderò sopra questa città, e sopra tutte le città sue, tutti i mali, che io le ho minacciati: perchè hanno indurata la loro cervice, per non udire le mie parole.Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel: Behold I wil bring in vpon this citie, & vpon al the cities thereof al the euils that I haue spoken against it: because they haue hardened their necke, that they would not heare my wordes.Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Ecce ego inducam super civitatem hanc, et super omnes urbes ejus, universa mala quæ locutus sum adversum eam, quoniam induraverunt cervicem suam ut non audirent sermones meos.
