Jeremiæ 33
1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 Hæc dicit Dominus qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus, Dominus nomen eius.
Thus says the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
3 Clama ad me, et exaudiam te: et annunciabo tibi grandia, et firma quæ nescis.
Call unto me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know 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 says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down 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 Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos: et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.
Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 Et convertam conversionem Iuda, et conversionem Ierusalem: et ædificabo eos sicut a principio.
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, 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 will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed 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 shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
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 says the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which all of you say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, 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 voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endures for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, says 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 says the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
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 mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that tells them, says the LORD.
14 Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et suscitabo verbum bonum, quod locutus sum ad domum Israel et ad domum Iuda.
Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
15 In diebus illis, et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen iustitiæ: et faciet iudicium et iustitiam in terra.
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness 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 days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
17 Quia hæc dicit Dominus: Non interibit de David vir, qui sedeat super thronum domus Israel.
For thus says the LORD; David shall never lack a man to sit upon 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 the Levites lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle food offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, 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 says the LORD; If all of you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and 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 also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the 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 host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, 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?
Consider you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD has chosen, he has even cast them off? thus they have 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 says the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven 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 seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
