Jeremiæ 33
1 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam secundo cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris dicens
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah a second time—and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison—saying:
2 haec dicit Dominus qui facturus est Dominus et formaturus illud et paraturus Dominus nomen eius
“Thus said YHWH who has made it, YHWH who has formed it, to establish it, YHWH [is] His Name:
3 clama ad me et exaudiam te et adnuntiabo tibi grandia et firma quae nescis
Call to Me, and I answer you, indeed, I declare to you great and inaccessible things—you have not known them.
4 quia haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel ad domos urbis huius et ad domos regis Iuda quae destructae sunt et ad munitiones et gladium
For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah that are broken down for the [siege] mounds, and for the tool;
5 venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldeis et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum quas percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac propter omnem malitiam eorum
they are coming to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcasses of men, whom I have struck in My anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
6 ecce ego obducam ei cicatricem et sanitatem et curabo eos et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis
Behold, I am increasing health and cure to it, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.
7 et convertam conversionem Iuda et conversionem Hierusalem et aedificabo eos sicut a principio
And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built 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 deliquerunt mihi et spreverunt me
And cleansed them from all their iniquity That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities That they have sinned against Me, And that they 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 ei
And it has been for a name of joy to Me, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it.”
10 haec dicit Dominus adhuc audietur in loco isto quem vos dicitis esse desertum eo quod non sit homo et iumentum in civitatibus Iuda et foris Hierusalem quae desolatae sunt absque homine et absque habitatore et absque pecore
Thus said YHWH: “Again is heard in this place—of which you are saying, It [is] dry, without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, 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 Dominus quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius et portantium vota in domum Domini reducam enim conversionem terrae sicut a principio dicit Dominus
A voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank YHWH of Hosts, for YHWH [is] good, For His kindness [is] for all time, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of YHWH, For I return the captivity of the land, As at the first,” said YHWH.
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 said YHWH of Hosts: “Again there is in this place—that is dry, Without man and beast, And in all its cities—a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock 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 Hierusalem et in civitatibus Iuda adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis ait Dominus
In the cities of the hill-country, In the cities of the low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the outskirts of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again the flock passes by under the hands of the numberer,” said YHWH.
14 ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et suscitabo verbum bonum quod locutus sum ad domum Israhel et ad domum Iuda
“Behold, days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “And I have established the good word That I spoke to 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, I cause a Shoot of righteousness to shoot up to David, And He has done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
16 in diebus illis salvabitur Iuda et Hierusalem habitabit confidenter et hoc est quod vocabit eam Dominus iustus noster
In those days Judah is saved, And Jerusalem dwells confidently, And this [is] what she is called: YHWH [is] Our Righteousness.”
17 quia haec dicit Dominus non interibit de David vir qui sedeat super thronum domus Israhel
For thus said YHWH: “A man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel [is] never cut off from David,
18 et de sacerdotibus et Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea qui offerat holocaustomata et incendat sacrificium et caedat victimas cunctis diebus
And to the priests—the Levites, A man is not cut off from before My face, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice—all the days.”
19 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam dicens
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
20 haec dicit Dominus si irritum fieri potest pactum meum cum die et pactum meum cum nocte ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo
“Thus said YHWH: If you can break My covenant with the day, And My covenant with the night, So that they are not daily and nightly 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
My covenant is also broken with My servant David, So that he does not have a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
22 sicuti numerari non possunt stellae caeli et metiri harena maris sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei et Levitas ministros meos
As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of My servant David, And My ministers the Levites.”
23 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam dicens
And there is a word of YHWH 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
“Have you not considered what this people have spoken, saying, The two families on which YHWH fixed, He rejects them? And they despise My people, so that they are no longer a people before them!”
25 haec dicit Dominus si pactum meum inter diem et noctem et leges caelo et terrae non posui
Thus said YHWH: “If My covenant [is] not with day and night, [And if] I have not appointed the statutes of the heavens and earth—
26 equidem et semen Iacob et David servi mei proiciam ut non adsumam de semine eius principes seminis Abraham et Isaac et Iacob reducam enim conversionem eorum et miserebor eis
I also reject the seed of Jacob, and My servant David, From taking rulers from his seed For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I return their captivity, and have pitied them.”
