Jeremiæ 30
1 Hoc verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba, quæ locutus sum ad te, in libro.
'Thus spake Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee on 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, lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah, and I have caused them to turn back unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they do possess it.'
4 Et hæc verba, quæ locutus est Dominus ad Israel et ad Iudam:
And these [are] the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5 Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.
Surely thus said Jehovah: A voice of trembling we have heard, Fear — and there is 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, I pray you, and see, is a male bringing forth? Wherefore have I seen every man, His hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
7 Væ, quia magna dies illa, nec est similis eius: tempusque tribulationis est Iacob, et ex ipso salvabitur.
Woe! for great [is] that day, without any like it, Yea, a time of adversity it [is] to Jacob, Yet out of it he is saved.
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:
And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bands I draw away, And lay no more service on him do strangers.
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.
And they have served Jehovah their God, And David their king whom I raise up to 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:
And thou, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.
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 with thee [am] I, An affirmation of Jehovah — to save thee, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered thee, Only, of thee I do not make an end, And I have chastised thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee.
12 Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua, pessima plaga tua.
For thus said Jehovah: Incurable is thy breach, grievous thy stroke,
13 Non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.
There is none judging thy cause to bind up, Healing medicines there are none for 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 loving thee have forgotten thee, Thee they do not seek, For with the stroke of an enemy I smote thee, The chastisement of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins!
15 Quid clamas super contritione tua? Insanabilis est dolor tuus: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ, et propter dura peccata tua feci hæc tibi.
What! — thou criest concerning thy breach! Incurable [is] thy pain, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins! I have done these 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.
Therefore all consuming thee are consumed, And all thine adversaries — all of them — Into captivity do go, And thy spoilers have been for a spoil, And all thy plunderers 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 increase health to thee, And from thy strokes I do heal thee, An affirmation of Jehovah, For 'Outcast' they have called to thee, 'Zion it [is], there is none seeking for her.'
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 said Jehovah: Lo, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And his dwelling places I pity, And the city hath been built on its heap, And the palace according to its ordinance remaineth.
19 Et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium: et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur: et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.
And gone forth from them hath thanksgiving, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honourable, and they are not small.
20 Et erunt filii eius sicut a principio, et cœtus eius coram me permanebit: et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.
And his sons have been as aforetime, And his company before Me is established, And I have seen after all his oppressors.
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 his honourable one hath been of himself, And his ruler from his midst goeth forth, And I have caused him to draw near, And he hath drawn nigh unto Me, For who [is] he who hath pledged his heart To draw nigh unto Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.
22 Et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.
23 Ecce turbo Domini, furor egrediens, procella ruens, in capite impiorum conquiescet.
Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah — Fury hath gone forth — a cutting whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth.
24 Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.
The fierceness of the anger of Jehovah Doth not turn back till His doing, Yea, till His establishing the devices of His heart, In the latter end of the days we consider it!
