Jeremiæ 30
1 Hoc verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba, quae locutus sum ad te, in libro.
“Thus spoke YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you on a scroll.
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, days are coming—a declaration of YHWH—and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said YHWH, and I have caused them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they possess it.”
4 Et haec verba, quae locutus est Dominus ad Israel et ad Iuda:
And these [are] the words that YHWH has spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5 Quoniam haec dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.
Surely thus said YHWH: “We have heard a voice of trembling, 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 conversae sunt universae facies in auruginem?
Now ask and see, is a male bringing forth? Why have I seen every man [With] his hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
7 Vae, quia magna dies illa, nec est similis eius: tempusque tribulationis est Iacob, et ex ipsa salvabitur.
Woe! For that day [is] great, without any like it, Indeed, it [is] the time of Jacob’s tribulation, Yet he is 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:
And it has come to pass in that day, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, I break his yoke from off your neck, And I draw away your bands, And strangers lay no more service on him.
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.
And they have served their God YHWH, And David their king whom I raise up to 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:
And you, do not be afraid, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, Nor be frightened, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has 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 I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH, “To save you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have scattered you, Only, I do not make an end of you, And I have disciplined you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you.”
12 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua, pessima plaga tua.
For thus said YHWH: “Your breach is incurable, your stroke grievous,
13 Non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.
There is none judging your cause to bind up, There are no healing medicines for you.
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 loving you have forgotten you, They do not seek you, For I struck you with the stroke of an enemy, The discipline of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, your sins have been mighty!
15 Quid clamas super contritione tua? insanabilis est dolor tuus: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae, et propter dura peccata tua feci haec tibi.
Why do you cry concerning your breach? Your pain [is] incurable, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Your sins have been mighty! I have done these to you.
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 consuming you are consumed, And all your adversaries—all of them—Go into captivity, And your spoilers have been for a spoil, And I give up all your plunderers to plunder.
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 increase health to you, And I heal you from your strokes,” A declaration of YHWH, “For they have called you an outcast, [saying], It [is] Zion, There is none seeking for her.”
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 said YHWH: “Behold, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And I pity his dwelling places, And the city has been built on its heap, And the palace remains according to its ordinance.
19 Et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium: et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur: et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.
And thanksgiving has gone forth from them, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honorable, and they are not small.
20 Et erunt filii eius sicut a principio, et coetus eius coram me permanebit: et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.
And his sons have been as before, And his congregation is established before Me, 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 majestic one has been of himself, And his ruler goes forth from his midst, And I have caused him to draw near, And he has drawn near to Me, For who [is] he who has pledged his heart To draw near to Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
22 Et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
“And you 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.
Behold, a whirlwind of YHWH—Fury has gone forth—a cutting whirlwind, It stays on the head of the wicked.
24 Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.
The fierceness of the anger of YHWH Does not turn back until He has done [it], Indeed, until His establishing the purposes of His heart. In the latter end of the days you consider it!
