Jeremiæ 30
1 hoc verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino dicens
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
2 haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel dicens scribe tibi omnia verba quae locutus sum ad te in libro
“Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you 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,’ says Yahweh, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will cause them to return 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 Yahweh spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 quoniam haec dicit Dominus vocem terroris audivimus formido et non est pax
For Yahweh says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and 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 whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are 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, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; 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
It will come to pass in that day, says Yahweh of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo et David regi suo quem suscitabo eis
but they will serve Yahweh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to 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 don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says Yahweh. Don’t be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will 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, says Yahweh, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
12 quia haec dicit Dominus insanabilis fractura tua pessima plaga tua
For Yahweh says, “Your hurt 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, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
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 don’t seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your 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 do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, 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
Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become 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 restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says Yahweh, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks 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
Yahweh says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
19 et egredietur de eis laus voxque ludentium et multiplicabo eos et non inminuentur et glorificabo eos et non adtenuabuntur
Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
20 et erunt filii eius sicut a principio et coetus eius coram me permanebit et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum
Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who 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
Their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from among them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says Yahweh.
22 et eritis mihi in populum et ego ero vobis in Deum
“You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 ecce turbo Domini furor egrediens procella ruens in capite impiorum conquiescet
Behold, Yahweh’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head 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 Yahweh will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
