Jeremiæ 30

1 hoc verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens

The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying: —

2 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicens scribe tibi omnia verba quae locutus sum ad te in libro

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Write thee all the words which I have spoken to 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 the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will bring back the captives of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah, and cause them to return to the land which I gave 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 which Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

5 quoniam haec dicit Dominus vocem terroris audivimus formido et non est pax

Behold, thus saith Jehovah: The voice of trembling do we hear; There is alarm, 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 bring forth? Why then do I see every man's hands upon his loins, like a woman in travail? And why are all faces turned into paleness?

7 vae quia magna dies illa nec est similis eius tempusque tribulationis est Iacob et ex ipso salvabitur

Alas! that day is great, So that there is none like it; It is a time of trouble for Jacob, Yet shall he be saved from 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

For in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from his neck, And his bands will I burst asunder, And he shall be subject to strangers no more.

9 sed servient Domino Deo suo et David regi suo quem suscitabo eis

But they shall serve Jehovah, 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

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah, And be not thou dismayed, O Israel! For, behold, I will bring thee safe from afar, And thy posterity from the land of their captivity; And Jacob shall return, and be at rest; Yea, he shall be quiet, and none shall 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 will be with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee; When I shall make a full end of all the nations Whither I have dispersed thee, Yet will I not make a full end of thee; I will correct thee in measure, Yet must I not leave thee wholly unpunished.

12 quia haec dicit Dominus insanabilis fractura tua pessima plaga tua

For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable; Thy wound is mortal.

13 non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum curationum utilitas non est tibi

No one offereth his help for thy cure; No healing medicines are applied to 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; They inquire not after thee. For with the wound of an enemy have I smitten thee, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased.

15 quid clamas super contritione tua insanabilis est dolor tuus propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuae et dura peccata tua feci haec tibi

Why criest thou because of thy bruise? Thy pain is without remedy. For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased, Have I done these things to 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

Yet all they that devour thee shall be devoured, And all thine enemies, yea, all of them, shall go into captivity, And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, And all that plunder thee will I give up 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 will restore soundness to thee, And I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; For they have called thee the outcast, Zion, whom no man careth for.

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 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will bring back the captives of the tents of Jacob, And I will have pity upon his dwelling-places, And the city shall be builded upon her heap, And the palace shall be inhabited as of old.

19 et egredietur de eis laus voxque ludentium et multiplicabo eos et non inminuentur et glorificabo eos et non adtenuabuntur

And out of them shall go forth thanksgiving, And the voice of them that make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few, And I will exalt them, and they shall not be low.

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 aforetime, And their congregation shall be 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 princes shall be of themselves, And their governor shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause them to approach, and they shall come near to me; For who is he that would dare to come near to me? saith Jehovah.

22 et eritis mihi in populum et ego ero vobis in Deum

And ye shall be my people, And I will be your God.

23 ecce turbo Domini furor egrediens procella ruens in capite impiorum conquiescet

Behold, a whirlwind from Jehovah, Furious doth it go forth, Even a sweeping whirlwind; Upon the head of the wicked shall it rush.

24 non avertet iram indignationis Dominus donec faciat et conpleat cogitationem cordis sui in novissimo dierum intellegetis ea

The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not turn back Until he shall have executed, until he shall have accomplished, the purpose of his heart; In a future day ye shall understand it fully.
