Jeremiæ 30
1 hoc verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicens scribe tibi omnia verba quae locutus sum ad te in libro
Thus hath said the Lord the 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 Israhel et Iuda ait Dominus et convertam eos ad terram quam dedi patribus eorum et possidebunt eam
For, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will bring back again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord; and I will cause them to return to the land that I have given to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4 et haec verba quae locutus est Dominus ad Israhel et ad Iudam
And these are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah;
5 quoniam haec dicit Dominus vocem terroris audivimus formido et non est pax
For thus hath said the Lord, A voice of terror have we heard, dread, and no 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 ye now, and see whether a male doth give birth to a child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in giving birth? and why are all faces turned pale?
7 vae quia magna dies illa nec est similis eius tempusque tribulationis est Iacob et ex ipso salvabitur
Alas, for that day is great, there is none like it; and a time of distress it is unto Jacob; yet out of it shall he be saved.
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
And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and thy bands will I burst asunder; and strangers shall not make him serve any more;
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo et David regi suo quem suscitabo eis
But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto 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
And thou—do not fear, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; and be not dismayed, O Israel; for, behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and shall be at rest, and be secure, with none to terrify him.
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 with thee am I, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; but I will correct thee in moderation, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
12 quia haec dicit Dominus insanabilis fractura tua pessima plaga tua
For thus hath said the Lord, Incurable is thy bruise, and painful, thy wound.
13 non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum curationum utilitas non est tibi
There is no one to plead thy cause, to bind up [thy wound]: useful remedies there are none for thee.
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 thy lovers have forgotten thee; thee they seek not; for with the blow of an enemy have I smitten thee, with cruel chastisement, for the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous.
15 quid clamas super contritione tua insanabilis est dolor tuus propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae et dura peccata tua feci haec tibi
Why wilt thou cry out because of thy breach? for thy pain which is incurable? because of the multitude of thy iniquity, because thy sins were so numerous, have I 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
Nevertheless all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thy adversaries, all of them, shall go into captivity; and they that plunder thee shall be [given up] to plunder, and all that prey upon thee will I give up 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 place a healing plaster on thy bruise, and of thy wounds will I cure thee, saith the Lord; because they called thee “an Outcast.” “This is Zion, whom no one 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 hath said the Lord, Behold, I will bring back again the captivity of the tents of Jacob, and on his dwelling-places will I have mercy; and the city shall be rebuilt upon her own heap of ruins, and the palace shall be inhabited after its [ancient] manner.
19 et egredietur de eis laus voxque ludentium et multiplicabo eos et non inminuentur et glorificabo eos et non adtenuabuntur
And there shall proceed out of them thanksgiving, and the voice of those that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; I will also make them numerous, and they shall not be made few in number.
20 et erunt filii eius sicut a principio et coetus eius coram me permanebit et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum
And their children shall be as aforetimes, and their congregation shall be firmly 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 adplicabo eum et accedet ad me quis enim iste est qui adplicet cor suum ut adpropinquet mihi ait Dominus
And their leader shall be of themselves, and their ruler 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 will venture of his own heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord.
22 et eritis mihi in populum et ego ero vobis in Deum
And ye shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto you for a God.
23 ecce turbo Domini furor egrediens procella ruens in capite impiorum conquiescet
Behold, the storm-wind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, an abiding storm-wind: upon the head of the wicked shall it fall.
24 non avertet iram indignationis Dominus donec faciat et conpleat cogitationem cordis sui in novissimo dierum intellegetis ea
The fierceness of the anger of the Lord will not turn back, until he have done, and until he have fulfilled the purposes of his heart: in the latter days shall ye understand this.
