Jeremiæ 30
1 hoc verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicens scribe tibi omnia verba quae locutus sum ad te in libro
“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.
3 ecce enim dies veniunt dicit Dominus et convertam conversionem populi mei Israhel et Iuda ait Dominus et convertam eos ad terram quam dedi patribus eorum et possidebunt eam
For behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore from captivity My people Israel and Judah, declares the LORD. I will restore them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4 et haec verba quae locutus est Dominus ad Israhel et ad Iudam
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
5 quoniam haec dicit Dominus vocem terroris audivimus formido et non est pax
Yes, this is what the LORD says: “A cry of panic is heard— a cry of terror, not of peace.
6 interrogate et videte si generat masculus quare ergo vidi omnis viri manum super lumbum suum quasi parientis et conversae sunt universae facies in auruginem
Ask now, and see: Can a male give birth? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor and every face turned pale?
7 vae quia magna dies illa nec est similis eius tempusque tribulationis est Iacob et ex ipso salvabitur
How awful that day will be! None will be like it! It is the time of Jacob’s distress, but he will be saved out of it.
8 et erit in die illa ait Dominus exercituum conteram iugum eius de collo tuo et vincula illius disrumpam et non dominabuntur ei amplius alieni
On that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, I will break the yoke off their necks and tear off their bonds, and no longer will strangers enslave them.
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo et David regi suo quem suscitabo eis
Instead, they will serve the LORD their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 tu ergo ne timeas serve meus Iacob ait Dominus neque paveas Israhel quia ecce ego salvo te de terra longinqua et semen tuum de terra captivitatis eorum et revertetur Iacob et quiescet et cunctis affluet et non erit quem formidet
As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to 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 tibi videaris innoxius
For I am with you to save you, declares the LORD. Though I will completely destroy all the nations to which I have scattered you, I will not completely destroy you. Yet I will discipline you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”
12 quia haec dicit Dominus insanabilis fractura tua pessima plaga tua
For this is what the LORD says: “Your injury is incurable; your wound is grievous.
13 non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum curationum utilitas non est tibi
There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.
14 omnes amatores tui obliti sunt tui te non quaerent plaga enim inimici percussi te castigatione crudeli propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae dura facta sunt peccata tua
All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.
15 quid clamas super contritione tua insanabilis est dolor tuus propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae et dura peccata tua feci haec tibi
Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things 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
Nevertheless, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your adversaries—every one of them— will go off into exile. Those who plundered you will be plundered, and all who raided you will be raided.
17 obducam enim cicatricem tibi et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te dicit Dominus quia Eiectam vocaverunt te Sion haec est quae non habebat requirentem
But I will restore your health and heal your wounds, declares the LORD, because they call you an outcast, Zion, for whom no one cares.”
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
This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place.
19 et egredietur de eis laus voxque ludentium et multiplicabo eos et non inminuentur et glorificabo eos et non adtenuabuntur
Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled.
20 et erunt filii eius sicut a principio et coetus eius coram me permanebit et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum
Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors.
21 et erit dux eius ex eo et princeps de medio eius producetur et adplicabo eum et accedet ad me quis enim iste est qui adplicet cor suum ut adpropinquet mihi ait Dominus
Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?”
22 et eritis mihi in populum et ego ero vobis in Deum
“And you will be My people, and I will be your God.”
23 ecce turbo Domini furor egrediens procella ruens in capite impiorum conquiescet
Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked.
24 non avertet iram indignationis Dominus donec faciat et conpleat cogitationem cordis sui in novissimo dierum intellegetis ea
The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.
