Jeremiæ 15
1 et dixit Dominus ad me si steterit Moses et Samuhel coram me non est anima mea ad populum istum eice illos a facie mea et egrediantur
Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2 quod si dixerint ad te quo egrediemur dices ad eos haec dicit Dominus qui ad mortem ad mortem et qui ad gladium ad gladium et qui ad famem ad famem et qui ad captivitatem ad captivitatem
And it shall come to pass, if they say to you, Where shall we go forth? then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
3 et visitabo super eos quattuor species dicit Dominus gladium ad occisionem et canes ad lacerandum et volatilia caeli et bestias terrae ad devorandum et dissipandum
And I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 et dabo eos in fervorem universis regnis terrae propter Manassem filium Ezechiae regis Iuda super omnibus quae fecit in Hierusalem
And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 quis enim miserebitur tui Hierusalem aut quis contristabitur pro te aut quis ibit ad rogandum pro pace tua
For who shall have pity on you, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan you? or who shall go aside to ask how you do?
6 tu reliquisti me dicit Dominus retrorsum abisti et extendam manum meam super te et interficiam te laboravi rogans
You have forsaken me, says the LORD, you are gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with repenting.
7 et dispergam eos ventilabro in portis terrae interfeci et perdidi populum meum et tamen a viis suis non sunt reversi
And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.
8 multiplicatae sunt mihi viduae eius super harenam maris induxi eis super matrem adulescentis vastatorem meridie misi super civitates repente terrorem
Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall on it suddenly, and terrors on the city.
9 infirmata est quae peperit septem defecit anima eius occidit ei sol cum adhuc esset dies confusa est et erubuit et residuos eius in gladium dabo in conspectu inimicorum eorum ait Dominus
She that has borne seven languishes: she has given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she has been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.
10 vae mihi mater mea quare genuisti me virum rixae virum discordiae in universa terra non feneravi nec feneravit mihi quisquam omnes maledicunt mihi
Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them does curse me.
11 dicit Dominus si non reliquiae tuae in bonum si non occurri tibi in tempore adflictionis et in tempore tribulationis adversum inimicum
The LORD said, Truly it shall be well with your remnant; truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12 numquid foederabitur ferrum ferro ab aquilone et aes
Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
13 divitias tuas et thesauros tuos in direptionem dabo gratis in omnibus peccatis tuis et in omnibus terminis tuis
Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
14 et adducam inimicos tuos de terra qua nescis quia ignis succensus est in furore meo super vos ardebit
And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you know not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.
15 tu scis Domine recordare mei et visita me et tuere me ab his qui persequuntur me noli in patientia tua suscipere me scito quoniam sustinui pro te obprobrium
O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your long-suffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 inventi sunt sermones tui et comedi eos et factum est mihi verbum tuum in gaudium et in laetitiam cordis mei quoniam invocatum est nomen tuum super me Domine Deus exercituum
Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
17 non sedi in concilio ludentium et gloriatus sum a facie manus tuae solus sedebam quoniam comminatione replesti me
I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
18 quare factus est dolor meus perpetuus et plaga mea desperabilis rennuit curari facta est mihi quasi mendacium aquarum infidelium
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether to me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
19 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus si converteris convertam te et ante faciem meam stabis et si separaveris pretiosum a vili quasi os meum eris convertentur ipsi ad te et tu non converteris ad eos
Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: let them return to you; but return not you to them.
20 et dabo te populo huic in murum aereum fortem et bellabunt adversum te et non praevalebunt quia ego tecum sum ut salvem te et eruam dicit Dominus
And I will make you to this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
21 et liberabo te de manu pessimorum et redimam te de manu fortium
And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
