Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Hoc verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino, dicens:
2 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel, dicens: Scribe tibi omnia verba, quæ locutus sum ad te, in libro.
3 For, behold, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
Ecce enim dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et convertam conversionem populi mei Israel et Iuda, ait Dominus: et convertam eos ad terram, quam dedi patribus eorum: et possidebunt eam.
4 These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Et hæc verba, quæ locutus est Dominus ad Israel et ad Iudam:
5 For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of peace.
Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus: Vocem terroris audivimus: formido, et non est pax.
6 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?
Interrogate, et videte si generat masculus: quare ergo vidi omnis viri manum super lumbum suum, quasi parturientis, et conversæ sunt universæ facies in auruginem?
7 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.
Væ, quia magna dies illa, nec est similis eius: tempusque tribulationis est Iacob, et ex ipso salvabitur.
8 It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD 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;
Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum: conteram iugum eius de collo tuo, et vincula eius dirumpam, et non dominabuntur ei amplius alieni:
9 but they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.
10 Therefore do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD. Do not 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.
Tu ergo ne timeas serve meus Iacob, ait Dominus, neque paveas Israel: quia ecce ego salvabo te de terra longinqua, et semen tuum de terra captivitatis eorum: et revertetur Iacob, et quiescet, et cunctis affluet bonis, et non erit quem formidet:
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, 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.”
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 videaris tibi innoxius.
12 For the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Insanabilis fractura tua, pessima plaga tua.
13 There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
Non est qui iudicet iudicium tuum ad alligandum: curationum utilitas non est tibi.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you. They do not 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.
Omnes amatores tui obliti sunt tui, teque non quærent: plaga enim inimici percussi te castigatione crudeli: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ dura facta sunt peccata tua.
15 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.
Quid clamas super contritione tua? Insanabilis est dolor tuus: propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ, et propter dura peccata tua feci hæc tibi.
16 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.
Propterea omnes, qui comedunt te, devorabuntur: et universi hostes tui in captivitatem ducentur: et qui te vastant, vastabuntur, cunctosque prædatores tuos dabo in prædam.
17 For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
Obducam enim cicatricem tibi, et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te, dicit Dominus. Quia eiectam vocaverunt te Sion: Hæc est, quæ non habebat.
18 The LORD 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.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce ego convertam conversionem tabernaculorum Iacob, et tectis eius miserebor, et ædificabitur civitas in excelso suo, et templum iuxta ordinem suum fundabitur.
19 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.
Et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium: et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur: et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.
20 Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress them.
Et erunt filii eius sicut a principio, et cœtus eius coram me permanebit: et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.
21 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 the LORD.
Et erit dux eius ex eo: et princeps de medio eius producetur: et applicabo eum, et accedet ad me. Quis enim iste est, qui applicet cor suum ut appropinquet mihi, ait Dominus?
22 “You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.
23 Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
Ecce turbo Domini, furor egrediens, procella ruens, in capite impiorum conquiescet.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD 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.”
Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui: in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.
