< Jeremiah 30 >

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
Hoc verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens:
2 'Thus speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba quæ locutus sum ad te, in libro.
3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'
Ecce enim dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et convertam conversionem populi mei Israël et Juda, ait Dominus: et convertam eos ad terram quam dedi patribus eorum, et possidebunt eam.
4 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Et hæc verba quæ locutus est Dominus ad Israël et ad Judam:
5 For thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
[Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.
6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child; wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Interrogate, et videte si generat masculus: quare ergo vidi omnis viri manum super lumbum suum, quasi parturientis, et conversæ sunt universæ facies in auruginem?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is a time of trouble unto Jacob, but out of it shall he be saved.
Væ! quia magna dies illa, nec est similis ejus: tempusque tribulationis est Jacob, et ex ipso salvabitur.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman;
Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum: conteram jugum ejus de collo tuo, et vincula ejus dirumpam, et non dominabuntur ei amplius alieni:
9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.
10 Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob My servant, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel; for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
Tu ergo ne timeas, serve meus Jacob, ait Dominus, neque paveas, Israël: quia ecce ego salvabo te de terra longinqua, et semen tuum de terra captivitatis eorum: et revertetur Jacob, et quiescet, et cunctis affluet bonis, et non erit quem formidet:
11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; for I will correct thee in measure, and will not utterly destroy thee.
quoniam tecum ego sum, ait Dominus, ut salvem te. Faciam enim consummationem in cunctis gentibus in quibus dispersi te: te autem non faciam in consummationem: sed castigabo te in judicio, ut non videaris tibi innoxius.
12 For thus saith the LORD: Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua; pessima plaga tua:
13 None deemeth of thy wound that it may be bound up; thou hast no healing medicines.
non est qui judicet judicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee, they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.
Omnes amatores tui obliti sunt tui, teque non quærent: plaga enim inimici percussi te castigatione crudeli: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ dura facta sunt peccata tua.
15 Why criest thou for thy hurt, that thy pain is incurable? For the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
Quid clamas super contritione tua? insanabilis est dolor tuus: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ, et propter dura peccata tua, feci hæc tibi.
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
Propterea omnes qui comedunt te devorabuntur, et universi hostes tui in captivitatem ducentur: et qui te vastant vastabuntur, cunctosque prædatores tuos dabo in prædam.
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast: 'She is Zion, there is none that careth for her.'
Obducam enim cicatricem tibi, et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te, dicit Dominus. Quia ejectam vocaverunt te, Sion: hæc est, quæ non habebat requirentem.
18 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon her own mound, and the palace shall be inhabited upon its wonted place.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego convertam conversionem tabernaculorum Jacob, et tectis ejus miserebor: et ædificabitur civitas in excelso suo, et templum juxta ordinem suum fundabitur:
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry; and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished, I will also increase them, and they shall not dwindle away.
et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium. Et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur: et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
Et erunt filii ejus sicut a principio, et cœtus ejus coram me permanebit, et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.
21 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto Me; for who is he that hath pledged his heart to approach unto Me? saith the LORD.
Et erit dux ejus ex eo, et princeps de medio ejus producetur: et applicabo eum, et accedet ad me. Quis enim iste est qui applicet cor suum ut appropinquet mihi? ait Dominus:
22 And ye shall be My people, and I will be your God.
et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
23 Behold, a storm of the LORD is gone forth in fury, a sweeping storm; it shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.
Ecce turbo Domini, furor egrediens, procella ruens: in capite impiorum conquiescet.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until He have executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart; in the end of days ye shall consider it.
Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.]
