Jeremiah 17

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

peccatum Iuda scriptum est stilo ferreo in ungue adamantino exaratum super latitudinem cordis eorum et in cornibus ararum eorum

Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.

cum recordati fuerint filii eorum ararum suarum et lucorum lignorumque frondentium in montibus excelsis

O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.

sacrificantes in agro fortitudinem tuam et omnes thesauros tuos in direptionem dabo excelsa tua propter peccata in universis finibus tuis

And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

et relinqueris sola ab hereditate tua quam dedi tibi et servire te faciam inimicis tuis in terra quam ignoras quoniam ignem succendisti in furore meo usque in aeternum ardebit

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

haec dicit Dominus maledictus homo qui confidit in homine et ponit carnem brachium suum et a Domino recedit cor eius

For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

erit enim quasi myrice in deserto et non videbit cum venerit bonum sed habitabit in siccitate in deserto in terra salsuginis et inhabitabili

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

benedictus vir qui confidit in Domino et erit Dominus fiducia eius

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

et erit quasi lignum quod transplantatur super aquas quod ad humorem mittit radices suas et non timebit cum venerit aestus et erit folium eius viride et in tempore siccitatis non erit sollicitum nec aliquando desinet facere fructum

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

pravum est cor omnium et inscrutabile quis cognoscet illud

I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

ego Dominus scrutans cor et probans renes qui do unicuique iuxta viam et iuxta fructum adinventionum suarum

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

perdix fovit quae non peperit fecit divitias et non in iudicio in dimidio dierum suorum derelinquet eas et in novissimo suo erit insipiens

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

solium gloriae altitudinis a principio locus sanctificationis nostrae

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

expectatio Israhel Domine omnes qui te derelinquunt confundentur recedentes in terra scribentur quoniam dereliquerunt venam aquarum viventium Dominum

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

sana me Domine et sanabor salvum me fac et salvus ero quoniam laus mea tu es

Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

ecce ipsi dicunt ad me ubi est verbum Domini veniat

As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

et ego non sum turbatus te pastorem sequens et diem hominis non desideravi tu scis quod egressum est de labiis meis rectum in conspectu tuo fuit

Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.

non sis mihi tu formidini spes mea tu in die adflictionis

Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

confundantur qui persequuntur me et non confundar ego paveant illi et non paveam ego induc super eos diem adflictionis et duplici contritione contere eos

Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

haec dicit Dominus ad me vade et sta in porta filiorum populi per quam ingrediuntur reges Iuda et egrediuntur et in cunctis portis Hierusalem

And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

et dices ad eos audite verbum Domini reges Iuda et omnis Iudaea cunctique habitatores Hierusalem qui ingredimini per portas istas

Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

haec dicit Dominus custodite animas vestras et nolite portare pondera in die sabbati nec inferatis per portas Hierusalem

Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

et nolite eicere onera de domibus vestris in die sabbati et omne opus non facietis sanctificate diem sabbati sicut praecepi patribus vestris

But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

et non audierunt nec inclinaverunt aurem suam sed induraverunt cervicem suam ne audirent me et ne acciperent disciplinam

And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

et erit si audieritis me dicit Dominus ut non inferatis onera per portas civitatis huius in die sabbati et si sanctificaveritis diem sabbati ne faciatis in ea omne opus

Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

ingredientur per portas civitatis huius reges et principes sedentes super solium David et ascendentes in curribus et equis ipsi et principes eorum vir Iuda et habitatores Hierusalem et habitabitur civitas haec in sempiternum

And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.

et venient de civitate Iuda et de circuitu Hierusalem et de terra Beniamin et de campestribus et de montuosis et ab austro portantes holocaustum et victimam et sacrificium et tus et inferent oblationem in domum Domini

But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

si autem non audieritis me ut sanctificetis diem sabbati et ne portetis onus et ne inferatis per portas Hierusalem in die sabbati succendam ignem in portis eius et devorabit domos Hierusalem et non extinguetur
