< Jeremiæ 33 >

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah the second time (while he was yet shut vp in the court of prison) saying,
2 Hæc dicit Dominus qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus, Dominus nomen eius.
Thus sayth the Lord, the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, and established it, the Lord is his Name.
3 Clama ad me, et exaudiam te: et annunciabo tibi grandia, et firma quæ nescis.
Call vnto me, and I will answere thee, and shewe thee great and mightie things, which thou knowest not.
4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad domos urbis huius, et ad domos regis Iuda, quæ destructæ sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium
For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, concerning the houses of this citie, and concerning the houses of the Kings of Iudah, which are destroyed by the mounts, and by the sword,
5 venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldæis, et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum, quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea, abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac propter omnem malitiam eorum.
They come to fight with the Caldeans, but it is to fill themselues with the dead bodies of men, whome I haue slaine in mine anger and in my wrath: for I haue hid my face from this citie, because of all their wickednes.
6 Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos: et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.
Behold, I will giue it health and amendment: for I wil cure them, and will reueile vnto them the abundance of peace, and trueth.
7 Et convertam conversionem Iuda, et conversionem Ierusalem: et ædificabo eos sicut a principio.
And I wil cause the captiuitie of Iudah and the captiuitie of Israel to returne, and will build 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 dereliquerunt mihi, et spreverunt me.
And I wil clense them from all their iniquitie, whereby they haue sinned against me: yea, I wil pardon all their iniquities, whereby they haue sinned against me, and whereby they haue rebelled against me.
9 Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium, et in laudem, et in exultationem cunctis gentibus terræ, quæ audierint omnia bona, quæ ego facturus sum eis: et pavebunt, et turbabuntur in universis bonis, et in omni pace, quam ego faciam eis.
And it shalbe to me a name, a ioy, a praise, and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall heare all ye good that I doe vnto them: and they shall feare and tremble for all the goodnes, and for all the wealth, that I shew vnto this citie.
10 Hæc 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, quæ desolatæ sunt absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore)
Thus sayth the Lord, Againe there shalbe heard in this place (which ye say shalbe desolate, without man, and without beast, euen in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, that are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast)
11 vox gaudii et vox lætitiæ, vox sponsi et vox sponsæ, vox dicentium: Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus Dominus, quoniam in æternum misericordia eius: et portantium vota in domum Domini: reducam enim conversionem terræ sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.
The voyce of ioy and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome, and the voyce of the bride, the voyce of them that shall say, Prayse the Lord of hostes, because the Lord is good: for his mercy endureth for euer, and of them that offer the sacrifice of prayse in the House of the Lord, for I will cause to returne the captiuitie of the land, as at the first, sayth the Lord.
12 Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum: Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto absque homine, et absque iumento, et in cunctis civitatibus eius, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Againe in this place, which is desolate, without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof there shall be dwelling for shepheards to rest their flockes.
13 In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus, quæ ad Austrum sunt: et in terra Beniamin, et in circuitu Ierusalem, et in civitatibus Iuda adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.
In the cities of the mountaines, in the cities in the plaine, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Beniamin, and about Ierusalem, and in the cities of Iudah shall the sheepe passe againe, vnder the hand of him that telleth them, sayth the Lord.
14 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et suscitabo verbum bonum, quod locutus sum ad domum Israel et ad domum Iuda.
Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil performe that good thing, which I haue promised vnto the house of Israel, and to the house of Iudah.
15 In diebus illis, et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen iustitiæ: et faciet iudicium et iustitiam in terra.
In those dayes and at that time, wil I cause the branch of righteousnesse to growe vp vnto Dauid, and he shall execute iudgement, and righteousnes in the land.
16 In diebus illis salvabitur Iuda, et Ierusalem habitabit confidenter: et hoc est nomen, quod vocabunt eum, Dominus iustus noster.
In those dayes shall Iudah be saued, and Ierusalem shall dwell safely, and hee that shall call her, is the Lord our righteousnesse.
17 Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir, qui sedeat super thronum domus Israel.
For thus sayth the Lord, Dauid shall neuer want a man to sit vpon the throne of the house of Israel.
18 Et de Sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocautomata, et incendat sacrificum, et cædat victimas omnibus diebus.
Neither shall the Priests and Leuites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to offer meat offerings, and to doe sacrifice continually.
19 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah, saying,
20 Hæc dicit Dominus: Si irritum potest fieri pactum meum cum die, et pactum meum cum nocte, ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo:
Thus sayth the Lord, If you can breake my couenant of the day, and my couenant of the night, that there should not be day, and night 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 Levitæ et Sacerdotes ministri mei.
Then may my couenant be broken with Dauid my seruant, that he should not haue a sonne to reigne vpon his throne, and with the Leuites, and Priests my ministers.
22 Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellæ cæli, et metiri arena maris: sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.
As the army of heauen can not be nombred, neither the sand of the sea measured: so wil I multiplie the seede of Dauid my seruant, and the Leuites, that minister vnto me.
23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came to Ieremiah, saying,
24 Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens: Duæ cognationes, quas elegerat Dominus, abiectæ sunt: et populum meum despexerunt, eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis?
Considerest thou not what this people haue spoken, saying, The two families, which the Lord hath chosen, hee hath euen cast them off? thus they haue despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Hæc dicit Dominus: Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges cælo et terræ non posui:
Thus sayth the Lord, If my couenant be not with day and night, and if I haue not appointed the order of heauen and earth,
26 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.
Then will I cast away the seede of Iaakob and Dauid my seruant, and not take of his seede to be rulers ouer the seede of Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: for I wil cause their captiuitie to returne, and haue compassion on them.
