HOLY BIBLE: Jeremiah 17 (original) (raw)

19 τάδε λέγει κύριος βάδισον καὶ στῆθι ἐν πύλαις υἱῶν λαοῦ σου ἐν αἷς εἰσπορεύονται ἐν αὐταῖς βασιλεῖς Ιουδα καὶ ἐν αἷς ἐκπορεύονται ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πύλαις Ιερουσαλημ 20 καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτούς ἀκούσατε λόγον κυρίου βασιλεῖς Ιουδα καὶ πᾶσα Ιουδαία καὶ πᾶσα Ιερουσαλημ οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι ἐν ταῖς πύλαις ταύταις 21 τάδε λέγει κύριος φυλάσσεσθε τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν καὶ μὴ αἴρετε βαστάγματα ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ μὴ ἐκπορεύεσθε ταῖς πύλαις Ιερουσαλημ 22 καὶ μὴ ἐκφέρετε βαστάγματα ἐξ οἰκιῶν ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ πᾶν ἔργον οὐ ποιήσετε ἁγιάσατε τὴν ἡμέραν τῶν σαββάτων καθὼς ἐνετειλάμην τοῖς πατράσιν ὑμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν καὶ οὐκ ἔκλιναν τὸ οὖς αὐτῶν 23 καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν ὑπὲρ τοὺς πατέρας αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ ἀκοῦσαί μου καὶ τοῦ μὴ δέξασθαι παιδείαν 24 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀκοῇ ἀκούσητέ μου λέγει κύριος τοῦ μὴ εἰσφέρειν βαστάγματα διὰ τῶν πυλῶν τῆς πόλεως ταύτης ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ ἁγιάζειν τὴν ἡμέραν τῶν σαββάτων τοῦ μὴ ποιεῖν πᾶν ἔργον 25 καὶ εἰσελεύσονται διὰ τῶν πυλῶν τῆς πόλεως ταύτης βασιλεῖς καὶ ἄρχοντες καθήμενοι ἐπὶ θρόνου Δαυιδ καὶ ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐ{F'} ἅρμασιν καὶ ἵπποις αὐτῶν αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Ιουδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ιερουσαλημ καὶ κατοικισθήσεται ἡ πόλις αὕτη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα 26 καὶ ἥξουσιν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων Ιουδα καὶ κυκλόθεν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐκ γῆς Βενιαμιν καὶ ἐκ τῆς πεδινῆς καὶ ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους καὶ ἐκ τῆς πρὸς νότον φέροντες ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ θυσίαν καὶ θυμιάματα καὶ μαναα καὶ λίβανον φέροντες αἴνεσιν εἰς οἶκον κυρίου 27 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν μὴ εἰσακούσητέ μου τοῦ ἁγιάζειν τὴν ἡμέραν τῶν σαββάτων τοῦ μὴ αἴρειν βαστάγματα καὶ μὴ εἰσπορεύεσθαι ταῖς πύλαις Ιερουσαλημ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων καὶ ἀνάψω πῦρ ἐν ταῖς πύλαις αὐτῆς καὶ καταφάγεται ἄμφοδα Ιερουσαλημ καὶ οὐ σβεσθήσεται

19 The Lord bade me go and take my stand at the People’s Gate, where the kings of Juda passed to and fro; and then, in turn, at the other gates of Jerusalem. 20 This was to be my message from the Lord to king and people of Juda, to every citizen of Jerusalem that used those gates: 21 No more, on peril of your lives, shoulder those packs of yours and carry them through Jerusalem gates on the sabbath day. 22 Never a load must leave your houses, nor any work be done, on the sabbath; this was the command I gave to your fathers, 23 only they would not listen or pay heed, chafed under the yoke of discipline and refused to obey me. 24 And you, the Lord says, will you obey? Rid these gateways of their sabbath burdens, keep the sabbath holy by resting from work, 25 and your kings and princes, David’s own heirs, shall still go riding through them, with horses and chariots, with their retinue of nobles, with the men of Juda and Jerusalem’s citizens in their train. Evermore your city shall be populous; 26 from the townships of Juda, from your own country-side, from Benjamin, from plain and hill and the waste lands of the south, men shall come with burnt-sacrifice and victim and bloodless offering and incense to enrich the Lord’s temple. 27 Refuse to keep the sabbath holy, profane it with burdens borne and burdens admitted through the gates, and I will set those gates in a blaze that shall burn down all Jerusalem ere you can quench it.

19 Hæc dicit Dominus ad me: Vade, et sta in porta filiorum populi, per quam ingrediuntur reges Juda, et egrediuntur, et in cunctis portis Jerusalem: 20 et dices ad eos:

Audite verbum Domini,
reges Juda, et omnis Juda,
cunctique habitatores Jerusalem,
qui ingredimini per portas istas.

21
Hæc dicit Dominus:
Custodite animas vestras,
et nolite portare pondera in die sabbati,
nec inferatis per portas Jerusalem: 22
et nolite ejicere onera de domibus vestris in die sabbati,
et omne opus non facietis:
sanctificate diem sabbati,
sicut præcepi patribus vestris. 23
Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam:
sed induraverunt cervicem suam, ne audirent me,
et ne acciperent disciplinam. 24
Et erit: si audieritis me, dicit Dominus,
ut non inferatis onera per portas civitatis hujus in die sabbati:
et si sanctificaveritis diem sabbati,
ne faciatis in eo omne opus: 25
ingredientur per portas civitatis hujus reges et principes,
sedentes super solium David,
et ascendentes in curribus et equis,
ipsi et principes eorum,
viri Juda, et habitatores Jerusalem:
et habitabitur civitas hæc in sempiternum. 26
Et venient de civitatibus Juda,
et de circuitu Jerusalem,
et de terra Benjamin,
et de campestribus, et de montuosis, et ab austro,
portantes holocaustum, et victimam,
et sacrificium, et thus,
et inferent oblationem in domum Domini. 27
Si autem non audieritis me
ut sanctificetis diem sabbati,
et ne portetis onus,
et ne inferatis per portas Jerusalem in die sabbati,
succendam ignem in portis ejus,
et devorabit domos Jerusalem,
et non extinguetur.

[1] The mention of the hill-shrines here is not borne out by 15.13.

[2] Literally, ‘the heart of all men is perverse and inscrutable; who shall have knowledge of it?’ The Hebrew text gives, ‘the heart of man is perverse and diseased above all things; who shall have knowledge of it?’

[3] The word ‘mankind’ is not in the Hebrew text; its presence in the Latin seems due to a false interpretation.
