Jeremiæ 30
1 Hoc verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yhwh, saying,
2 Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba, quae locutus sum ad te, in libro.
Thus speaketh Yhwh God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto 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, lo, the days come, saith Yhwh, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Yhwh: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4 Et haec verba, quae locutus est Dominus ad Israel et ad Iuda:
And these are the words that Yhwh spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 Quoniam haec dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.
For thus saith Yhwh; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
6 Interrogate, et videte si generat masculus: quare ergo vidi omnis viri manum super lumbum suum, quasi parturientis, et conversae sunt universae facies in auruginem?
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
7 Vae, quia magna dies illa, nec est similis eius: tempusque tribulationis est Iacob, et ex ipsa salvabitur.
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of 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 it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yhwh of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.
But they shall serve Yhwh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 Tu ergo non 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 Yhwh; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and 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 am with thee, saith Yhwh, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
12 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua, pessima plaga tua.
For thus saith Yhwh, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
13 Non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.
There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
14 Omnes amatores tui obliti sunt tui, teque non quaerent: plaga enim inimici percussi te castigatione crudeli: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae dura facta sunt peccata tua.
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
15 Quid clamas super contritione tua? insanabilis est dolor tuus: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae, et propter dura peccata tua feci haec tibi.
Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16 Propterea omnes, qui comedunt te, devorabuntur: et universi hostes tui in captivitatem ducentur: et qui te vastant, vastabuntur, cunctosque praedatores tuos dabo in praedam.
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17 Obducam enim cicatricem tibi, et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te, dicit Dominus. Quia eiectam vocaverunt te Sion: Haec est, quae non habebat requirentem.
For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Yhwh; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
18 Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce ego convertam conversionem tabernaculorum Iacob, et tectis eius miserebor, et aedificabitur civitas in excelso suo, et templum iuxta ordinem suum fundabitur.
Thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
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 proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
20 Et erunt filii eius sicut a principio, et coetus eius coram me permanebit: et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.
Their children also 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 nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith Yhwh.
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, the whirlwind of Yhwh goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.
The fierce anger of Yhwh shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
