Jeremiæ 30
1 Hoc verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying: —
2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba, quæ locutus sum ad te, in libro.
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Write thee all the words which I have spoken to thee in a book.
3 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.
For behold the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will bring back the captives of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4 Et hæc verba, quæ locutus est Dominus ad Israel et ad Iudam:
And these are the words which Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.
Behold, thus saith Jehovah: The voice of trembling do we hear; There is alarm, and no peace.
6 Interrogate, et videte si generat masculus: quare ergo vidi omnis viri manum super lumbum suum, quasi parturientis, et conversæ sunt universæ facies in auruginem?
Ask ye now and see, Whether a male doth bring forth? Why then do I see every man's hands upon his loins, like a woman in travail? And why are all faces turned into paleness?
7 Væ, quia magna dies illa, nec est similis eius: tempusque tribulationis est Iacob, et ex ipso salvabitur.
Alas! that day is great, So that there is none like it; It is a time of trouble for Jacob, Yet shall he be saved from it.
8 Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum: conteram iugum eius de collo tuo, et vincula eius dirumpam, et non dominabuntur ei amplius alieni:
For in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from his neck, And his bands will I burst asunder, And he shall be subject to strangers no more.
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.
But they shall serve Jehovah, their God, And David, their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 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:
Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah, And be not thou dismayed, O Israel! For, behold, I will bring thee safe from afar, And thy posterity from the land of their captivity; And Jacob shall return, and be at rest; Yea, he shall be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11 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.
For I will be with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee; When I shall make a full end of all the nations Whither I have dispersed thee, Yet will I not make a full end of thee; I will correct thee in measure, Yet must I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
12 Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua, pessima plaga tua.
For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable; Thy wound is mortal.
13 Non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.
No one offereth his help for thy cure; No healing medicines are applied to thee.
14 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.
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; They inquire not after thee. For with the wound of an enemy have I smitten thee, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased.
15 Quid clamas super contritione tua? Insanabilis est dolor tuus: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ, et propter dura peccata tua feci hæc tibi.
Why criest thou because of thy bruise? Thy pain is without remedy. For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased, Have I done these things to thee.
16 Propterea omnes, qui comedunt te, devorabuntur: et universi hostes tui in captivitatem ducentur: et qui te vastant, vastabuntur, cunctosque prædatores tuos dabo in prædam.
Yet all they that devour thee shall be devoured, And all thine enemies, yea, all of them, shall go into captivity, And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, And all that plunder thee will I give up to plunder.
17 Obducam enim cicatricem tibi, et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te, dicit Dominus. Quia eiectam vocaverunt te Sion: Hæc est, quæ non habebat.
For I will restore soundness to thee, And I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; For they have called thee the outcast, Zion, whom no man careth for.
18 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.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring back the captives of the tents of Jacob, And I will have pity upon his dwelling-places, And the city shall be builded upon her heap, And the palace shall be inhabited as of old.
19 Et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium: et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur: et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.
And out of them shall go forth thanksgiving, And the voice of them that make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few, And I will exalt them, and they shall not be low.
20 Et erunt filii eius sicut a principio, et cœtus eius coram me permanebit: et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.
And their children shall be as aforetime, And their congregation shall be established before me, And I will punish all that oppress them.
21 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?
And their princes shall be of themselves, And their governor shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause them to approach, and they shall come near to me; For who is he that would dare to come near to me? saith Jehovah.
22 Et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
And ye shall be my people, And I will be your God.
23 Ecce turbo Domini, furor egrediens, procella ruens, in capite impiorum conquiescet.
Behold, a whirlwind from Jehovah, Furious doth it go forth, Even a sweeping whirlwind; Upon the head of the wicked shall it rush.
24 Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.
The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not turn back Until he shall have executed, until he shall have accomplished, the purpose of his heart; In a future day ye shall understand it fully.
