8The word that was made to Jeremie from our Lord, after that king Sedecias made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem, proclaiming:The word that was made to Ieremie from our Lord, after that king Sedecias made a couenant with al the people in Ierusalem, proclayming:Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, postquam percussit rex Sedecias fœdus cum omni populo in Jerusalem, prædicans
9That every one should dismiss his servant, and every one his handmaid; the Hebrew man and the Hebrew woman free: and that they should not have dominion over them, that is, on a Jew and his brother.That euerie one should dismisse his seruant, & euerie one his handmayd; the Hebrew man and the Hebrew woman free: and that they should not haue dominion ouer them, that is, on a Iewe and his brother.ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam, Hebræum et Hebræam, liberos, et nequaquam dominarentur eis, id est, in Judæo et fratre suo.
10All the princes therefore heard, and all the people which, had made the covenant, that every man should dismiss his servant, and every man his handmaid free, and should no more have dominion over them: they heard therefore, and dismissed them.Al the princes therefore heard, and al the people which, had made the couenant, that euerie man should dismisse his seruant, and euerie man his handmaide free, and should no more haue dominion ouer them: they heard therefore, and dismissed them.Audierunt ergo omnes principes et universus populus qui inierant pactum ut dimitteret unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam liberos, et ultra non dominarentur eis : audierunt igitur, et dimiserunt.
11And they turned afterwards: and drew their servants and their handmaids back again, whom they had dismissed free, and brought them into subjection as men servants, and women servants.And they turned afterwards: and drew their seruants and their handmaids back againe, whom they had dismist free, and brought them into subiection as men seruants, and wemen seruantes.Et conversi sunt deinceps : et retraxerunt servos et ancillas suas quos dimiserant liberos, et subjugaverunt in famulos et famulas.

13Thus saith our Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day, that I brought them out of the Land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, saying:Thus saith our Lord the God of Israel: I made a couenant with your fathers in the day, that I brought them out of the Land of Ægypt, from the house of bondage, saying:Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël : Ego percussi fœdus cum patribus vestris in die qua eduxi eos de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis, dicens :
14When seven years shall be accomplished, let every man dismiss his brother an Hebrew, that was sold to him, and he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt dismiss him free from thee: and your fathers have not heard me, nor inclined their ear.When seuen yeares shal be accomplished, let euerie man dismisse his brother an Hebrew, that was sold to him, and he shal serue thee six yeares: and thou shalt dismisse him free from thee: and your fathers haue not heard me, nor inclined their eare.✦Cum completi fuerint septem anni, dimittat unusquisque fratrem suum Hebræum, qui venditus est ei : et serviet tibi sex annis, et dimittes eum a te liberum : et non audierunt patres vestri me, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam.
15And you were converted this day, and did that which is right in mine eyes, that you proclaimed liberty every one to his friend: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house,And you were conuerted this day, & did that which is right in myne eies, that you proclaymed libertie euerie one to his freind: and you made a couenant in my sight, in the house,✦Et conversi estis vos hodie, et fecistis quod rectum est in oculis meis, ut prædicaretis libertatem unusquisque ad amicum suum : et inistis pactum in conspectu meo, in domo in qua invocatum est nomen meum super eam :
16wherein my name is invocated upon it. And you are returned, and have defiled my name: and you have brought back again every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had dismissed to be free, and of their own suæ potestatis: a court's legal authority; their own right, their own free disposal: and you have brought them into subjection to be your servants and handmaids.wherein my name is inuocated vpon it. And you are returned, and haue defiled my name: and you haue brought backe againe euerie man his seruant, and euerie man his handmayde, whom you had dismist to be free, and of their owne iurisdiction: and you haue brought them into subiection to be your seruants and handmaydes.✦et reversi estis, et commaculastis nomen meum, et reduxistis unusquisque servum suum et unusquisque ancillam suam quos dimiseratis ut essent liberi et suæ potestatis, et subjugastis eos ut sint vobis servi et ancillæ.
17Therefore thus saith our Lord: You have not heard me, to proclaim liberty every man to his brother, and every one to his friend: behold I proclaim unto you liberty, saith our Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to famine: and I will give you into commotionem: a noisy disturbance; a being tossed to and fro, made an object of terror among the nations to all the kingdoms of the earth.Therefore thus saith our Lord: You haue not heard me, to proclaime libertie euerie man to his brother, and euerie one to his freind: behold I proclaime vnto you libertie, saith our Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to famine: and I wil geue you into commotion to al the kingdoms of the earth.✦Propterea hæc dicit Dominus : Vos non audistis me, ut prædicaretis libertatem unusquisque fratri suo et unusquisque amico suo : ecce ego prædico vobis libertatem, ait Dominus, ad gladium, ad pestem, et ad famem, et dabo vos in commotionem cunctis regnis terræ.
18And I will give the men, that transgress my covenant, and have not observed the words of the covenant, whereunto they consented in my sight, the calf which they did cut into two parts, and passed between the divisions thereof.And I wil geue the men, that transgresse my couenant, and haue not obserued the wordes of the couenant, wherevnto they consented in my sight, the calfe which they did cut into two partes, and passed betwen the diuisions thereof.✦Et dabo viros qui prævaricantur fœdus meum, et non observaverunt verba fœderis quibus assensi sunt in conspectu meo, vitulum quem conciderunt in duas partes, et transierunt inter divisiones ejus,

20And I will give them into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their life: and their carcass shall be for meat to the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.And I wil geue them into the handes of their enemies, and into the handes of them that seeke their life: & their carcasse shal be for meate to the foules of the ayre, and to the beastes of the earth.et dabo eos in manus inimicorum suorum, et in manus quærentium animam eorum, et erit morticinum eorum in escam volatilibus cæli et bestiis terræ.
21And Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes I will give into the hands of their enemies, and into the hands of them that seek their lives, and into the hands of the armies of the king of Babylon, which are retired from you.And Sedecias the king of Iuda, and his princes I wil geue into the handes of their enemies, & into the handes of them that seeke their liues, and into the handes of the armies of the king of Babylon, which are retired from you.Et Sedeciam regem Juda, et principes ejus, dabo in manus inimicorum suorum, et in manus quærentium animas eorum, et in manus exercituum regis Babylonis, qui recesserunt a vobis.
22Behold I command, saith our Lord, and I will bring them again into this city, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and the cities of Juda I will give into desolation, because there is not an inhabiter.Behold I command, saith our Lord, and I wil bring them againe into this citie, and they shal fight against it, and take it, and burne it with fire: and the cities of Iuda I wil geue into desolation, because there is not an inhabiter.✦Ecce ego præcipio, dicit Dominus, et reducam eos in civitatem hanc, et præliabuntur adversus eam, et capient eam, et incendent igni : et civitates Juda dabo in solitudinem, eo quod non sit habitator.
