< Jeremiah 30 >

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying: —
Hoc verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
2 Thus, speaketh Yahweh, God of Israel, saying, —Write thee all the words which I have spoken unto thee in a scroll;
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba, quæ locutus sum ad te, in libro.
3 For lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, Saith Yahweh, —and will bring them back into the land which I gave to their fathers that they might possess it.
Ecce enim dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et convertam conversionem populi mei Israel et Iuda, ait Dominus: et convertam eos ad terram, quam dedi patribus eorum: et possidebunt eam.
4 Now, these, are the words which Yahweh hath spoken against Israel and against Judah:
Et hæc verba, quæ locutus est Dominus ad Israel et ad Iudam:
5 Yea, thus, saith Yahweh, A voice of trembling, have we heard, Dread and not welfare!
Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.
6 Ask, I pray you, and see, whether a male travaileth with child! Why have I seen Every man with his hands upon his loins like a woman in travail, and Every face turned into ghastliness?
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, great, is that day, so that none is like it, —Yea, a time of anguish it is for Jacob, But out of it, shall he be saved.
Væ, quia magna dies illa, nec est similis eius: tempusque tribulationis est Iacob, et ex ipso salvabitur.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bonds, will I tear off, —And foreigners shall use him as a slave no more;
Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum: conteram iugum eius de collo tuo, et vincula eius dirumpam, et non dominabuntur ei amplius alieni:
9 But they shall serve Yahweh 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 Thou therefore do not fear O my Servant Jacob Urgeth Yahweh, Neither be thou dismayed, O Israel, For behold me! saving thee from afar And thy seed out of the land of their captivity, —Then shall Jacob return, and rest and be quiet, And there shall be none to make him afraid;
Tu ergo ne timeas serve meus Iacob, ait Dominus, neque paveas Israel: quia ecce ego salvabo te de terra longinqua, et semen tuum de terra captivitatis eorum: et revertetur Iacob, et quiescet, et cunctis affluet bonis, et non erit quem formidet:
11 For with thee, am, I, Declareth Yahweh To save thee, —Though I make an end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, Yet will I not of thee, make an end, But will chastise thee in measure, not holding thee, guiltless!
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 iudicio, ut non videaris tibi innoxius.
12 For Thus, saith Yahweh—incurable is thine injury, —Grievous is thy wound:
Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua, pessima plaga tua.
13 There is none to plead thy cause for binding thee up, —Healing bandages, hast thou none:
Non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.
14 All thy lovers, have forgotten thee, Thyself, do they not seek, —For With the wounding of an enemy, have I wounded thee With the correction of one who is cruel, Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, Because numerous have been thy sins.
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 shouldst thou make outcry over thine injury, Incurable is thy pain? Because of the abounding of thine iniquity, [Because] numerous have been thy sins Have I 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 who devour thee, shall be devoured, And, all thine adversaries—all of them, into captivity, shall depart, —So shall they who plundered thee, be plundered, And all who preyed upon thee, will I deliver up as 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 put a bandage upon thee, And from thy wounds, will I heal thee Declareth Yahweh, —Because An outcast, they called thee, ‘Tis, Zion! who hath none to ask for her welfare,
Obducam enim cicatricem tibi, et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te, dicit Dominus. Quia eiectam vocaverunt te Sion: Hæc est, quæ non habebat.
18 Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! bringing back the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And on his habitations, will I have compassion, —So shall the city be built, upon her own mound, And the citadel, upon its own site, shall remain:
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego convertam conversionem tabernaculorum Iacob, et tectis eius miserebor, et ædificabitur civitas in excelso suo, et templum iuxta ordinem suum fundabitur.
19 So shall there proceed from them thanksgiving, and The sound of them who make merry, —And I will multiply them, and they shall not become few, And will make them honourable, and they shall not be despised:
Et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium: et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur: et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.
20 And, his sons, shall come to be as aforetime, And, his assembly, before me, shall continue, —And I will bring punishment on all his oppressors;
Et erunt filii eius sicut a principio, et cœtus eius coram me permanebit: et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.
21 And, his illustrious one, shall spring, from himself, And his ruler, from his own midst, shall proceed, And I will bring him near and he shall approach unto me, —For who is there that hath pledged his own heart to approach unto me? Demandeth Yahweh:
Et erit dux eius ex eo: et princeps de medio eius producetur: et applicabo eum, et accedet ad me. Quis enim iste est, qui applicet cor suum ut appropinquet mihi, ait Dominus?
22 So shall ye become my people; And, I, will become your God.
Et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
23 Lo! the tempest of Yahweh! Indignation, hath come forth, A tempest rolling itself upward, —Upon the head of the lawless ones, shall it hurl itself down!
Ecce turbo Domini, furor egrediens, procella ruens, in capite impiorum conquiescet.
24 The fierceness of the anger of Yahweh will not turn back, Until he hath executed nor Until he hath established The purposes of his heart, —In the afterpart of the days, shall ye understand it.
Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.
