< Jeremiah 33 >

1 Moreover the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
2 “The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:
Haec dicit Dominus qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus, Dominus nomen eius.
3 ‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’
Clama ad me, et exaudiam te: et annunciabo tibi grandia, et firma quae nescis.
4 For the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defence against the mounds and against the sword:
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 ‘While men come to fight with the Kasdim, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,
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 behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos: et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.
7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
Et convertam conversionem Iuda, et conversionem Ierusalem: et aedificabo eos sicut a principio.
8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
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 This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”
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 The LORD says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
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 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says the LORD.
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 The LORD of Hosts says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
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 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says the LORD.
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 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et suscitabo verbum bonum, quod locutus sum ad domum Israel et ad domum Iuda.
15 “In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
In diebus illis, et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen iustitiae: et faciet iudicium et iustitiam in terra.
16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: The LORD our righteousness.”
In diebus illis salvabitur Iuda, et Israel habitabit confidenter: et hoc est nomen, quod vocabunt eum, Dominus iustus noster.
17 For the LORD says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
Quia haec dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir, qui sedeat super thronum domus Israel.
18 The Levitical priests won’t lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
Et de Sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocaustomata, et incendat sacrificum, et caedat victimas omnibus diebus.
19 The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
20 “The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
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 then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he won’t have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.
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 As the army of the sky can’t be counted, and the sand of the sea can’t be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellae caeli, et metiri arena maris: sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.
23 The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
24 “Don’t consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
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?
25 The LORD says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,
Haec dicit Dominus: Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges caelo et terrae non posui:
26 then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
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.
