26 — Geremia

1In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, came this word from the Lord, saying:Al principio del regno di Joachim, figliuolo di Giosia, re di Giuda, il Signore parlò a me, dicendo:IN THE beginning of the kingdom of Ioakim the sonne of Iosias king of Iuda, came this word from our Lord, saying:In principio regni Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda, factum est verbum istud a Domino, dicens: 2Thus saith the Lord: stand in the court of the house of the Lord, and speak to all the cities of Juda, out of which they come, to adore in the house of the Lord, all the words which I have commanded thee to speak unto them: leave not out one word.Queste cose dice il Signore: Sta nell'atrio della casa del Signore, e a tutte le città di Giuda, delle quali i cittadini vengono a far adorazione nella casa del Signore, dirai tutto quello, ch'io ti ho ordinato di dir loro: Non ne levare una parola,Thus saith our Lord: Stand in the court of the house of our Lord, and thou shalt speake to al the cities of Iuda, out of the which they come, to adore in the house of our Lord, al the wordes which I haue commanded thee to speake vnto them: withdraw not a word,Hæc dicit Dominus: Sta in atrio domus Domini, et loqueris ad omnes civitates Juda, de quibus veniunt ut adorent in domo Domini universos sermones quos ego mandavi tibi ut loquaris ad eos: noli subtrahere verbum, 3If so be they will hearken and be converted every one from his evil way; that I may repent me of the evil that I think to do unto them for the wickedness of their doings.Se a sorte ascoltassero, e si convertissero dalla mala lor vita, ond'io mi ripenta del male, che penso di far loro a motivo della malvagità de' loro affetti.if perhaps they wil heare and be conuerted euerie one from his euil way: and it may repent me of the euil that I thinke to doe to them for the malice of their studies.si forte audiant, et convertantur unusquisque a via sua mala, et pœniteat me mali quod cogito facere eis propter malitiam studiorum eorum. 4And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: If you will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have given you:E tu dirai loro: Queste cose dice il Signore: Se voi non mi ascolterete, camminando nella mia legge, ch'io diedi a voi,And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord: If you wil not heare me to walke in my law, which I haue geuen you,Et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dominus: Si non audieritis me, ut ambuletis in lege mea quam dedi vobis, 5To give ear to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent to you rising up early: and sending, and you have not hearkened:E fede prestando alle parole de' servi miei, de' profeti, i quali io sollecitamente mandai, e indirizzai a voi, a' quali non avete prestato fede,that you heare the wordes of my seruants the prophetes, which I sent to you in the night rising, and directing, and you heard not:ut audiatis sermones servorum meorum prophetarum quos ego misi ad vos, de nocte consurgens, et dirigens, et non audistis:

6I will make this house like Silo: and I will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.Io farò a questa casa come a Silo, e questa città la farò l'esecrazione di tutte le nazioni della terra.I wil geue this house as Silo, and this citie I wil geue into malediction to al the nations of the earth.dabo domum istam sicut Silo, et urbem hanc dabo in maledictionem cunctis gentibus terræ. 7And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.E i sacerdoti, e i profeti, e il popol tutto udirono Geremia che dicea tali cose nella casa del Signore.And the priestes, and prophetes, and al the people heard Ieremie speaking these wordes in the house of our Lord.Et audierunt sacerdotes, et prophetæ, et omnis populus, Jeremiam loquentem verba hæc in domo Domini. 8And when Jeremias had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests, and the prophets, and all the people laid hold on him, saying: Let him be put to death.E quando Geremia ebbe finito di dire tutto quello, che il Signore gli avea comandato di far sapere a tutto il popolo, gli miser le mani addosso i sacerdoti, e i profeti, e tutto il popolo, dicendo: Sia messo a morte.And when Ieremie had ended speaking al thinges that our Lord had commanded him, to speake vnto al the people: the priestes, and prophetes, and al the people apprehended him, saying: Let him dye the death.Cumque complesset Jeremias, loquens omnia quæ præceperat ei Dominus ut loqueretur ad universum populum, apprehenderunt eum sacerdotes, et prophetæ, et omnis populus, dicens: Morte moriatur. 9Why hath he prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying: This house shall be like Silo; and this city shall be made desolate, without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered together against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.Perchè ha egli profetizzato nel nome del Signore, dicendo: Questa casa sarà come Silo, e questa città sarà smantellata, talmente che non vi rimanga abitatore? E si raunò tutto il popolo contro Geremia, nella casa del Signore.Why hath he prophecied in the name of our Lord, saying: This house shal be as Silo: and this citie shal be made desolate, for that there is no inhabitant? And al the people was gathered together against Ieremie in the house of our Lord.Quare prophetavit in nomine Domini, dicens: Sicut Silo erit domus hæc, et urbs ista desolabitur eo quod non sit habitator ? Et congregatus est omnis populus adversus Jeremiam in domo Domini.

10And the princes of Juda heard these words: and they went up from the king’s house into the house of the Lord, and sat in the entry of the new gate of the house of the Lord.E udirono queste cose i principi di Giuda, e andarono dalla casa del re alla casa del Signore, e si posero a sedere all'ingresso della porta nuova della casa del Signore.And the princes of Iuda heard these wordes: and they went vp from the kings house into the house of our Lord, and sate in the entrie of the new gate of the house of our Lord.Et audierunt principes Juda verba hæc, et ascenderunt de domo regis in domum Domini, et sederunt in introitu portæ domus Domini novæ. 11And the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying: The judgment of death is for this man: because he hath prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.E i sacerdoti, e i profeti dissero a' principi, e a tutto il popolo: Costui è reo di morte, perchè ha profetizzato contro questa città conforme avete udito colle vostre orecchie.And the priestes and the prophetes spake to the princes, and to al the people, saying: The iudgement of death is to this man: because he hath prophecied against this citie, as you haue heard with your eares.Et locuti sunt sacerdotes et prophetæ ad principes, et ad omnem populum, dicentes: Judicium mortis est viro huic, quia prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, sicut audistis auribus vestris. 12Then Jeremias spoke to all the princes, and to all the people, saying: The Lord sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city all the words that you have heard.E Geremia disse a tutti i principi, e a tutto il popolo: Il Signore mi ha mandato a profetizzare a questa casa, e a questa città tutto quello, che avete udito.And Ieremie spake to al the princes, and to al the people, saying: Our Lord sent me, that I should prophecie to this house, & to this citie al the wordes that you haue heard.Et ait Jeremias ad omnes principes, et ad universum populum, dicens: Dominus misit me ut prophetarem ad domum istam, et ad civitatem hanc, omnia verba quæ audistis. 13Now therefore amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God: and the Lord will repent him of the evil that he hath spoken against you.Or adunque ammendate le vostre vie, e le inclinazioni vostre; e ascoltate la voce del Signore Dio vostro; e il Signore si ripentirà del male, che ha a voi minacciato.Now therfore make your waies good, and your studies, & heare the voice of our Lord your God: and our Lord wil repent him of the euil, that he hath spoken against you.Nunc ergo bonas facite vias vestras et studia vestra, et audite vocem Domini Dei vestri, et pœnitebit Dominum mali quod locutus est adversum vos.

14But as for me, behold I am in your hands: do with me what is good and right in your eyes:Quanto a me, ecco ch'io sono nelle vostre mani, fate di me quello, che vi piacerà, e parrà:But I loe am in your handes: doe vnto me that which is good, and right in your eyes:Ego autem ecce in manibus vestris sum: facite mihi quod bonum et rectum est in oculis vestris. 15But know ye, and understand, that if you put me to death, you will shed innocent blood against your own selves, and against this city, and the inhabitants thereof. For in truth the Lord sent me to you, to speak all these words in your hearing.Sappiate però, e tenete per fermo, che se mi ucciderete porrete il sangue innocente sopra di voi, e sopra questa città, e sopra i suoi abitanti: perocché in verità mi ha mandato a voi il Signore, perchè alle orecchie vostre intimassi tutte queste cose.Howbeit know ye and vnderstand that if you kil me, you shal betray innocent bloud against your selues, and against this citie, and the inhabitantes therof. For in truth our Lord sent me to you, that I should speake al these wordes in your eares.Verumtamen scitote et cognoscite quod, si occideritis me, sanguinem innocentem tradetis contra vosmetipsos, et contra civitatem istam, et habitatores ejus: in veritate enim misit me Dominus ad vos, ut loquerer in auribus vestris omnia verba hæc. 16Then the princes, and all the people said to the priests, and to the prophets: There is no judgment of death for this man: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.E i principi, e tutto il popolo dissero a' sacerdoti, e ai profeti: quest'uomo non è reo di morte; perocché ha parlato a noi nel nome del Signore Dio nostro.And the princes, and al the people said to the priestes, and to the prophetes: There is no iudgement of death to this man: because he hath spoken to vs in the name of the Lord our God.Et dixerunt principes et omnis populus ad sacerdotes et ad prophetas: Non est viro huic judicium mortis, quia in nomine Domini Dei nostri locutus est ad nos. 17And some of the ancients of the land rose up: and they spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying:Si alzarono allora alcuni de' seniori del paese, e parlarono a tutto il popolo dicendo:Men therefore of the ancients of the land rose vp: and they spake to al the assemblie of the people, saying:Surrexerunt ergo viri de senioribus terræ, et dixerunt ad omnem cœtum populi, loquentes: 18Micheas of Morasthi was a prophet in the days of Ezechias king of Juda, and he spoke to all the people of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Sion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall be a heap of stones: and the mountain of the house the high places of woods.Michea di Morasthi fu profeta a tempo di Ezechia re di Giuda, e disse a tutto il popolo di Giuda: Queste cose dice il Signore degli eserciti: Sionne sarà arata come un campo: e Gerusalemme sarà un monte di pietre: e il monte della casa del Signore sarà una gran boscaglia.Michaeas the Morasthi was a prophet in the daies of Ezechias the king of Iuda, and he spake to al the people Iuda, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hostes: Sion shal be plowed as a field, and Ierusalem shal be as an heape of stones: and the mount of the house as the high places of woodes.Michæas de Morasthi fuit propheta in diebus Ezechiæ regis Juda, et ait ad omnem populum Juda, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: / Sion quasi ager arabitur, / et Jerusalem in acervum lapidum erit, / et mons domus in excelsa silvarum.

19Did Ezechias king of Juda, and all Juda, condemn him to death? did they not fear the Lord, and beseech the face of the Lord: and the Lord repented of the evil that he had spoken against them? therefore we are doing a great evil against our souls.Condannollo forse a morte Ezechia re di Giuda, e tutto Giuda? E non temeron essi il Signore, e implorarono la bontà del Signore, e il Signore si ripentì del male, ch'ei loro aveva minacciato? Noi pertanto faremmo un male grande in danno delle anime nostre?Did Ezechias the king of Iuda, and al Iuda, condemne him to death? Did they not feare our Lord, and beseech the face of our Lord: and it repented our Lord of the euil, that he had spoken against them? Therefore we doe great euil against our selues.Numquid morte condemnavit eum Ezechias rex Juda, et omnis Juda ? numquid non timuerunt Dominum, et deprecati sunt faciem Domini, et pœnituit Dominum mali quod locutus fuerat adversum eos ? Itaque nos facimus malum grande contra animas nostras. 20There was also a man that prophesied in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Semei of Cariathiarim: and he prophesied against this city, and against this land, according to all the words of Jeremias.Vi fu ancora un uomo, che profetava nel nome del Signore, Uria figliuolo di Semei di Cariathiarim, e profetizzò contro questa città, e contro questo paese tutto quello, che ha detto Geremia.There was also a man prophecying in the name of our Lord, Vrias the sonne of Semei of Cariathiarim: and he prophecied against this citie, and against this land according to al the wordes of Ieremie.Fuit quoque vir prophetans in nomine Domini, Urias filius Semei de Cariathiarim, et prophetavit adversus civitatem istam, et adversus terram hanc, juxta omnia verba Jeremiæ. 21And Joakim, and all his men in power, and his princes heard these words: and the king sought to put him to death. And Urias heard it, and was afraid, and fled and went into Egypt.E il re Joachim, e tutti i magnati, e tutti i principi udiron le sue parole, e il re cerco di farlo morire. E Uria n'ebbe vento, e temè, e fuggì, e andò in Egitto.And king Ioakim, and al his mighties, and his princes heard these wordes: & the king sought to kil him. And Vrias heard, and was afraied, and fled and went into Aegypt.Et audivit rex Joakim, et omnes potentes et principes ejus, verba hæc, et quæsivit rex interficere eum: et audivit Urias, et timuit, fugitque, et ingressus est Ægyptum. 22And king Joakim sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achobor, and men with him into Egypt.E il re Joachim mandò gente in Egitto, Elnathan figliuolo di Achobor, e altri con esso in Egitto.And king Ioakim sent men into Aegypt, Elnathan the sonne of Achobor, and men with him into Aegypt.Et misit rex Joakim viros in Ægyptum, Elnathan filium Achobor, et viros cum eo, in Ægyptum,

23And they brought Urias out of Egypt: and brought him to king Joakim, and he slew him with the sword: and he cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.E trasser fuora dall'Egitto Uria, e lo condussero al re Joachim, che lo fece morir di spada, e gettò il suo cadavere nella sepoltura del volgo ignobile.And they brought Vrias out of Aegypt: and brought him to king Ioakim, and he stroke him with the sword: and he cast forth his carcasse in the sepulchers of the base vulgar people.et eduxerunt Uriam de Ægypto, et adduxerunt eum ad regem Joakim, et percussit eum gladio, et projecit cadaver ejus in sepulchris vulgi ignobilis. 24So the hand of Ahicam the son of Saphan was with Jeremias, that he should not be delivered into the hands of the people, to put him to death.L'aiuto adunque di Ahicam figliuolo di Saphan giovò a Geremia, perchè non fosse dato in poter del popolo, e noll'uccidessero.Therefore the hand of Ahicam the sonne of Saphan was with Ieremie, that he should not be deliuered into the handes of the people, and they kil him.Igitur manus Ahicam filii Saphan fuit cum Jeremia, ut non traderetur in manus populi, et interficerent eum.
