Jeremiæ 33
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 Haec dicit Dominus qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus, Dominus nomen eius.
Thus saith the LORD that doeth it, the LORD that formeth it to establish it; the LORD 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 will shew thee great things, and difficult, 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 saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down [to make a defence] against the mounts, and against 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.
they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid 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 health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them abundance of peace and truth.
7 Et convertam conversionem Iuda, et conversionem Ierusalem: et aedificabo eos sicut a principio.
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build 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 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against 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 [this city] shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure 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 saith the LORD: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof ye say, It is waste, 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 joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and of them] that bring [sacrifices] of thanksgiving into the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return 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 saith the LORD of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing 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 hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him that telleth 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, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning 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 a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment 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 saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is [the name] whereby 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 saith the LORD: David shall never want 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.
neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn oblations, and to do sacrifice continually.
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 saith the LORD: If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there should not be 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 may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and 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, neither the sand of the sea 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?
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise 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 saith the LORD: If my covenant of day and night [stand] not, 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 will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.
