Jeremias 33
1 IN THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF KING JOAKIM SON OF JOSIAS THERE CAME THIS WORD FROM THE LORD.
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
2 Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and you shall declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded you to speak to them; abate not one word.
Haec dicit Dominus qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus, Dominus nomen eius.
3 Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.
Clama ad me, et exaudiam te: et annunciabo tibi grandia, et firma quae nescis.
4 And you shall say, Thus said the Lord; If you will not listen to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad domos urbis huius, et ad domos regis Iuda, quae destructae sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium
5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yes, I sent them, but you listened not to me;
venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldaeis, et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum, quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea, abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac propter omnem malitiam eorum.
6 then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.
Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos: et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.
7 And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
Et convertam conversionem Iuda, et conversionem Ierusalem: et aedificabo eos sicut a principio.
8 And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,
Et emundabo illos ab omni iniquitate sua, in qua peccaverunt mihi: et propitius ero cunctis iniquitatibus eorum, in quibus dereliquerunt mihi, et spreverunt me.
9 You shall surely die, because you have prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.
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 eis.
10 And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.
Haec dicit Dominus: Adhuc audietur in loco isto (quem vos dicitis esse desertum, eo quod non sit homo nec iumentum: in civitatibus Iuda, et foris Ierusalem, quae desolatae sunt absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore)
11 Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
vox gaudii et vox laetitiae, vox sponsi et vox sponsae, vox dicentium: Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus, quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius: et portantium vota in domum Domini: reducam enim conversionem terrae sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.
12 Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which you have heard.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto absque homine, et absque iumento, et in cunctis civitatibus eius, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.
13 And now amend your ways and your works, and listen to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.
In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus, quae ad Austrum sunt: et in terra Beniamin, et in circuitu Ierusalem, et in civitatibus Iuda adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.
14 And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.
Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et suscitabo verbum bonum, quod locutus sum ad domum Israel et ad domum Iuda.
15 But know for a certainty, that if you kill me, you bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.
In diebus illis, et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen iustitiae: et faciet iudicium et iustitiam in terra.
16 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
In diebus illis salvabitur Iuda, et Israel habitabit confidenter: et hoc est nomen, quod vocabunt eum, Dominus iustus noster.
17 And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,
Quia haec dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir, qui sedeat super thronum domus Israel.
18 Michaeas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus says the Lord; Sion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.
Et de Sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocaustomata, et incendat sacrificum, et caedat victimas omnibus diebus.
19 Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way kill him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
20 And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samaeas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.
Haec dicit Dominus: Si irritum potest fieri pactum meum cum die, et pactum meum cum nocte, ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo:
21 And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to kill him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt.
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.
22 And the king sent men into Egypt;
Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellae caeli, et metiri arena maris: sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.
23 and they brought him thence, and brought him into the king; and he struck him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
24 Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.
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?
Haec dicit Dominus: Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges caelo et terrae non posui:
equidem et semen Iacob et David servi mei proiiciam, ut non assumam de semine eius principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.
