Jeremiæ 33

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

2 Haec dicit Dominus qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus, Dominus nomen eius.

Thus hath said the Lord who doth this, the Lord that formeth it, to establish it: the Eternal is his name;

3 Clama ad me, et exaudiam te: et annunciabo tibi grandia, et firma quae nescis.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will tell thee great and unheard of things, which thou knowest not.

4 Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad domos urbis huius, et ad domos regis Iuda, quae destructae sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium

For thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by means of the mounds, and by means of the sword;

5 venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldaeis, et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum, quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea, abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac propter omnem malitiam eorum.

As they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but only to fill those with the corpses of the men whom I slay in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city:

6 Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos: et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.

Behold, I will bring it healing and cure, and I will cure them, and I will display unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

7 Et convertam conversionem Iuda, et conversionem Ierusalem: et aedificabo eos sicut a principio.

And I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will build them up, 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 I will cleanse them from all their guiltiness, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned toward me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

9 Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium, et in laudem, et in exultationem cunctis gentibus terrae, quae audierint omnia bona, quae ego facturus sum eis: et pavebunt, et turbabuntur in universis bonis, et in omni pace, quam ego faciam eis.

And it shall be to me for a name of gladness, a praise and an honor with all the nations of the earth, who will hear all the good that I am doing unto them: and they shall dread and tremble because of all the good and because of all the happiness that I prepare unto it.

10 Haec dicit Dominus: Adhuc audietur in loco isto (quem vos dicitis esse desertum, eo quod non sit homo nec iumentum: in civitatibus Iuda, et foris Ierusalem, quae desolatae sunt absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore)

Thus hath said the Lord, Yet again shall there be heard in this place, of which ye say, “It is ruined, without man and without beast” [[[even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast, ]]

11 vox gaudii et vox laetitiae, vox sponsi et vox sponsae, vox dicentium: Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius: et portantium vota in domum Domini: reducam enim conversionem terrae sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.

The voice of gladness, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of those that say, “Give thanks unto the Lord of hosts; for the Lord is good; because to eternity endureth his kindness:” of those that bring thanksgiving-offering unto the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.

12 Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto absque homine, et absque iumento, et in cunctis civitatibus eius, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, Yet again shall there be in this place, which is ruined, without man and even without beast, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds who cause their flocks to lie down.

13 In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus, quae ad Austrum sunt: et in terra Beniamin, et in circuitu Ierusalem, et in civitatibus Iuda adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.

In the cities of the mountain, in the cities of the lowlands, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks yet pass again under the hands of him that counteth them, saith the Lord.

14 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et suscitabo verbum bonum, quod locutus sum ad domum Israel et ad domum Iuda.

Behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will fulfill that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and respecting the house of Judah.

15 In diebus illis, et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen iustitiae: et faciet iudicium et iustitiam in terra.

In those days, and at that time, will I cause to grow up unto David the sprout of righteousness: and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.

16 In diebus illis salvabitur Iuda, et Israel habitabit confidenter: et hoc est nomen, quod vocabunt eum, Dominus iustus noster.

In those days shall Judah be helped, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this is what she shall be called, The Lord is our righteousness.

17 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir, qui sedeat super thronum domus Israel.

For thus hath said the Lord, There shall never be wanting unto David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;

18 Et de Sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocaustomata, et incendat sacrificum, et caedat victimas omnibus diebus.

And unto the priests the Levites there shall not be wanting a man before me, to offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meat-offerings, and to prepare sacrifices at all times.

19 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,

20 Haec 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 hath said the Lord, If ye can break my covenant with the day, and my covenant with the night, and so, that there be not day and night in their season:

21 Et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo, ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno eius, et Levitae et Sacerdotes ministri mei.

Then also shall my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and [that] with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

22 Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellae caeli, et metiri arena maris: sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, and the sand of the sea not be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

24 Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens: Duae cognationes, quas elegerat Dominus, abiectae sunt: et populum meum despexerunt, eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis?

Hast thou not observed what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath made choice of, even these hath he rejected: and they [thus] have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

25 Haec dicit Dominus: Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges caelo et terrae non posui:

Thus hath said the Lord, If my covenant be not with day and night, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth:

26 equidem et semen Iacob et David servi mei proiiciam, ut non assumam de semine eius principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.

Then also will I reject the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
