Jeremiæ 33
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time — and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison — saying:
2 Hæc dicit Dominus, qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus: Dominus nomen ejus:
Thus said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at establishing it, Jehovah [is] His name:
3 Clama ad me, et exaudiam te, et annuntiabo tibi grandia et firma quæ nescis.
Call unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things — thou hast not known them.
4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël ad domos urbis hujus, et ad domos regis Juda, quæ destructæ sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium
For thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool;
5 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:
they are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
6 Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos, et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.
Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.
7 Et convertam conversionem Juda et conversionem Jerusalem, et ædificabo eos sicut a principio.
And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the first,
8 Et emundabo illos ab omni iniquitate sua in qua peccaverunt mihi, et propitius ero cunctis iniquitatibus eorum, in quibus dereliquerunt mihi et spreverunt me.
And cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they transgressed against Me.
9 Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium, et in laudem, et in exsultationem 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.
And it hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it.
10 Hæc dicit Dominus: Adhuc audietur in loco isto quem vos dicitis esse desertum, eo quod non sit homo nec jumentum in civitatibus Juda, et foris Jerusalem, quæ desolatæ sunt, absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore,
Thus said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, without man, And without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 vox gaudii et vox lætitiæ, vox sponsi et vox sponsæ, vox dicentium: Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus Dominus, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus: et portantium vota in domum Domini: reducam enim conversionem terræ sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.
Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah [is] good, For His kindness [is] to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at the first, said Jehovah.
12 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto, absque homine et absque jumento, et in cunctis civitatibus ejus, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.
Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place — that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities — a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock to lie down.
13 In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus quæ ad austrum sunt, et in terra Benjamin, et in circuitu Jerusalem, et in civitatibus Juda, adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.
In the cities of the hill-country, In the cities of the low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the numberer, said Jehovah.
14 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et suscitabo verbum bonum quod locutus sum ad domum Israël et ad domum Juda.
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have established the good word That I spake unto the house of Israel, And concerning the house of Judah.
15 In diebus illis et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen justitiæ, et faciet judicium et justitiam in terra:
In those days, and at that time, I cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
16 in diebus illis salvabitur Juda, et Jerusalem habitabit confidenter: et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum: Dominus justus noster.
In those days is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: 'Our Righteousness.'
17 Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir qui sedeat super thronum domus Israël:
For thus said Jehovah: 'Not cut off to David is one sitting on the throne of the house of Israel,
18 et de sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocautomata, et incendat sacrificum, et cædat victimas omnibus diebus.
And to the priests — the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice — all the days.'
19 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 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,
'Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season,
21 et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo, ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno ejus, et Levitæ et sacerdotes ministri mei.
Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
22 Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellæ cæli, et metiri arena maris, sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.
As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.'
23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying:
24 Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens: Duæ cognationes quas elegerat Dominus abjectæ sunt? et populum meum despexerunt, eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis.
'Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise — So that they are no more a people before them!
25 Hæc dicit Dominus: Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges cælo et terræ non posui,
Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed —
26 equidem et semen Jacob et David servi mei projiciam, ut non assumam de semine ejus principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob: reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.
Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.'
