Jeremiah 33
1 While I was still being guarded in the courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave me this second message:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
2 “This is what I, the one who made the earth, who formed/shaped it and put it in its place, say [to the people of Jerusalem]: ‘My name is Yahweh.
Hæc dicit Dominus qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus, Dominus nomen eius.
3 Call out to me, and [then] I will tell you great and wonderful things that you have not known [before].’
Clama ad me, et exaudiam te: et annunciabo tibi grandia, et firma quæ nescis.
4 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, the God whom [you] Israeli people [say you belong to], say: ‘[The men in this city] have torn down [some of] their houses, and [even parts of] the king’s palace, to get materials to strengthen the walls around the city, in order that [the soldiers of Babylonia will not be able to break through the walls after they climb up] the ramps that they have built against the walls, and [kill the inhabitants with] their swords.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad domos urbis huius, et ad domos regis Iuda, quæ destructæ sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium
5 You are expecting to fight against the army from Babylonia, but [what will happen is that] the houses of this city will be filled with the corpses of the men of this city whom I will [allow to be killed] because I am extremely angry [DOU] with them. I have abandoned them because of all the wicked things that they have done.
venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldæis, et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum, quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea, abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac propter omnem malitiam eorum.
6 However, [there will be a time when] I will cause the people in this city to be healthy and strong again. I will enable them to be prosperous and have peace.
Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos: et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.
7 I will bring the people of Judah and Israel back from the lands to which they were exiled. I will enable them to rebuild their towns.
Et convertam conversionem Iuda, et conversionem Ierusalem: et ædificabo eos sicut a principio.
8 I will get rid of their guilt for all the sins that they have committed against me, and I will forgive them for their sin of rebelling against me.
Et emundabo illos ab omni iniquitate sua, in qua peccaverunt mihi: et propitius ero cunctis iniquitatibus eorum, in quibus dereliquerunt mihi, et spreverunt me.
9 [When that happens], all the nations of the world will rejoice, and they will praise me and honor me. They will hear about all the good things that I have done for this city and, because of that, they will revere me, and they will tremble because I have caused [the people in this city] to have peace and to prosper.’
Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium, et in laudem, et in exultationem cunctis gentibus terræ, quæ audierint omnia bona, quæ ego facturus sum eis: et pavebunt, et turbabuntur in universis bonis, et in omni pace, quam ego faciam eis.
10 And this is also what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘You people have said that this is a land where there are no [longer] any people or animals. But in the streets of Jerusalem that are now completely empty [DOU], and in the [other] towns in Judah,
Hæc dicit Dominus: Adhuc audietur in loco isto (quem vos dicitis esse desertum, eo quod non sit homo nec iumentum: in civitatibus Iuda, et foris Ierusalem, quæ desolatæ sunt absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore)
11 [some day] people will again be happy and laugh. Brides and bridegrooms will [again] sing [joyfully]. And many other people will also sing joyfully as they bring their offerings to me to thank me [for what I have done for them]. [They will sing this song]: “[We] thank you, the Commander of the armies of angels, because you are good [to us]. You faithfully love [us] forever.” [They will sing that] because I will cause [the people of] land to be as prosperous as they were before.’
vox gaudii et vox lætitiæ, vox sponsi et vox sponsæ, vox dicentium: Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus Dominus, quoniam in æternum misericordia eius: et portantium vota in domum Domini: reducam enim conversionem terræ sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.
12 This land is [now] desolate. There are no people or animals living here. But [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say this: ‘In this land there will again be pastures/fields where shepherds will lead their sheep.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto absque homine, et absque iumento, et in cunctis civitatibus eius, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.
13 Shepherds will again count their sheep as the sheep walk by, outside the towns in the hilly area, in the western foothills, in the southern desert area, in the land [where the descendants] of Benjamin live, around Jerusalem, and outside [all] the [other] towns in Judah.’ [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus, quæ ad Austrum sunt: et in terra Beniamin, et in circuitu Ierusalem, et in civitatibus Iuda adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.
14 Listen to this! [I], Yahweh, say that there will be a time when I will do for the people of Israel and Judah [all the good things that] I promised to do [for them].
Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et suscitabo verbum bonum, quod locutus sum ad domum Israel et ad domum Iuda.
15 At that time [DOU] I will appoint a righteous man who will be a descendant [MET] of King David. Throughout the land, he will do what is just and right.
In diebus illis, et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen iustitiæ: et faciet iudicium et iustitiam in terra.
16 At that time, [the people of] Judah will be rescued [from their enemies], and [the people of] Jerusalem will be safe. And people will say that the name of the city is ‘Yahweh [is the one who] vindicates/defends us’.
In diebus illis salvabitur Iuda, et Ierusalem habitabit confidenter: et hoc est nomen, quod vocabunt eum, Dominus iustus noster.
17 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘There will be descendants of King David ruling [MTY] Israel forever.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir, qui sedeat super thronum domus Israel.
18 And there will always be priests who are descendants of Levi who [stand] in front of me and offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar] and who will burn grain offerings and [other] sacrifices.’”
Et de Sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocautomata, et incendat sacrificum, et cædat victimas omnibus diebus.
19 [Then] Yahweh gave me this message:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
20 “This is what [I], Yahweh, say: ‘[You] certainly cannot annul my promise/agreement to cause nighttime to follow daytime each day.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Si irritum potest fieri pactum meum cum die, et pactum meum cum nocte, ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo:
21 Similarly, you cannot annul the promise/agreement [that I made] with King David, who served me [well], that there will always be descendants of his who will rule [Judah]. The same is true for my agreement with the descendants of Levi who are priests who do work for me.
Et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo, ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno eius, et Levitæ et Sacerdotes ministri mei.
22 No one can count the stars in the sky, and no one can count the grains of sand at the seashore. Similarly, I will cause there to be a huge number of priests who are descendants of David and descendants of Levi who will work for me.’”
Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellæ cæli, et metiri arena maris: sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.
23 Yahweh gave another message to me. He said,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
24 “Have you noticed/heard that some people are saying, ‘Yahweh chose two groups, the people [of Judah] and the people [of Israel], and [later] abandoned them.’ They are despising my people and saying that Israel no longer deserves to be considered a nation.
Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens: Duæ cognationes, quas elegerat Dominus, abiectæ sunt: et populum meum despexerunt, eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis?
25 But this is what I say: ‘I will not change my laws that control the day and the night, the sky and the earth.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges cælo et terræ non posui:
26 Similarly, I will never abandon the descendants of David or the [other] descendants of Jacob, and I will always allow descendants of David to rule the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring my people back to their land, and I will act mercifully toward them.’”
equidem et semen Iacob et David servi mei proiiciam, ut non assumam de semine eius principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.
