Baruch 2

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 And so the Lord has carried out the sentence which he passed on us, on our judges who governedIsrael, on our kings and leaders and on the people of Israel and of Judah;	1 Et statuit Dominus verbum suum, quod locutus est super nos et superiudices nostros, qui iudicabant Israel, et super reges nostros et superprincipes nostros et super omnem hominem Israel et Iudae,
2 what he did to Jerusalem has never been paral eled under the wide heavens -- in conformity with whatwas written in the Law of Moses;	2 ut induceret supernos mala magna, quae non sunt facta sub omni caelo, secundum quae fecit inIerusalem, secundum ea quae scripta sunt in lege Moysi,
3 we were each reduced to eating the flesh of our own sons and daughters.	3 comedere nosunumquemque carnes filii sui et unumquemque carnes filiae suae.
4 Furthermore, he has handed them over into the power of all the kingdoms that surround us, to be thecontempt and execration of all the neighbouring peoples among whom the Lord scattered them.	4 Et dedit illossubditos omnibus regnis, quae in circuitu nostro sunt, in opprobrium et indesolationem in omnibus populis, qui in circuitu nostro sunt, quo dispersitillos Dominus,
5 Instead of being masters, they found themselves enslaved, because we had sinned against the Lord ourGod by not listening to his voice.	5 et facti sunt subtus et non supra, quia peccavimus Deo nostronon oboediendo voci eius.
6 Saving justice is the Lord's; we and our ancestors have only the look of shame we bear today.	6 Domino Deo nostro iustitia, nobis autem et patribusnostris confusio faciei, sicut hic dies;
7 Al those disasters which the Lord pronounced against us have now befallen us.	7 quae locutus est Dominus super nos,omnia mala haec venerunt super nos,
8 And yet we have not tried to win the favour of the Lord by each of us renouncing the dictates of our ownwicked heart;	8 et non sumus deprecati faciem Domini, utaverteremur unusquisque a cogitationibus cordis nostri pessimi.
9 so the Lord has been alert to our misdeeds and has brought disaster down on us, since the Lord isupright in everything he had commanded us to do,	9 Et vigilavitDominus super mala et induxit ea super nos, quia iustus est Dominus in omnibusoperibus suis, quae mandavit nobis.
10 and we have not listened to his voice so as to fol ow the commandments which the Lord had ordainedfor us.	10 Et non oboedivimus voci eius, utambularemus in praeceptis Domini, quae dedit ante faciem nostram.
11 And now, Lord, God of Israel, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with signs andwonders, with great power and with outstretched arm, to win yourself a name such as you have today,	11 Et nunc, Domine, Deus Israel, qui eduxisti populum tuum de terra Aegypti inmanu valida, in signis et portentis et in virtute magna et in brachio excelso etfecisti tibi nomen, sicut hic dies,
12 we have sinned, we have committed sacrilege; Lord our God, we have broken al your precepts.	12 peccavimus, impie fecimus, inique egimus,Domine Deus noster, in omnibus iustificationibus tuis.
13 Let your anger turn from us since we are no more than a little remnant among the nations where youhave dispersed us.	13 Avertatur ira tua anobis, quia derelicti sumus pauci in gentibus, quo dispersisti nos.
14 Listen, Lord, to our prayers and our entreaties; deliver us for your own sake and let us win the favour ofthe people who have deported us,	14 Exaudi,Domine, orationem nostram et deprecationem nostram et eripe nos propter te et danobis gratiam ante faciem eorum, qui nos abduxerunt,
15 so that the whole world may know that you are the Lord our God, since Israel and his descendantsbear your name.	15 ut sciat omnis terraquia tu es Dominus Deus noster, et quia nomen tuum invocatum est super Israel etsuper genus eius.
16 Look down, Lord, from your holy dwel ing-place and think of us, bow your ear and listen,	16 Domine, prospice de domo sancta tua et attende in nos;inclina, Domine, aurem tuam et audi.
17 open your eyes, Lord, and look; the dead down in Sheol, whose breath has been taken from theirbodies, are not the ones to give glory and due recognition to the Lord;	17 Aperi, Domine, oculos tuos et vide, quianon mortui, qui in inferno sunt, quorum spiritus ablatus est a visceribus eorum,dabunt gloriam et iustificationem Domino,
18 whoever is overcome with affliction, who goes along bowed down and frail, with failing eyes andhungering soul, that is the one to give you glory and due recognition, Lord.	18 sed anima, quae tristis est supermagnitudinem, quae incedit curva et infirma, et oculi deficientes et animaesuriens dabunt tibi gloriam et iustitiam, Domine.
19 We do not rely on the merits of our ancestors and of our kings to offer you our humble plea, Lord ourGod.	19 Quia non iniustificationibus patrum nostrorum et regum nostrorum nos prosternimus precesnostras ante faciem tuam, Domine Deus noster;
20 No, you have sent down your anger and your fury on us, as you threatened through your servants theprophets when they said,	20 quia immisisti indignationemtuam et iram tuam super nos, sicut locutus es in manibus puerorum tuorumprophetarum dicens:
21 'The Lord says this: Bend your necks and serve the king of Babylon, and you wil remain in the countrywhich I gave to your ancestors.	21 “Sic dicit Dominus: Inclinate umerum vestrum et serviteregi Babylonis et sedebitis super terram, quam dedi patribus vestris.
22 But if you do not listen to the voice of the Lord and serve the king of Babylon	22 Et sinon audieritis vocem Domini, ut serviatis regi Babylonis, deficere faciam acivitatibus Iudae et a plateis Ierusalem
23 then I shal silence the shouts of rejoicing and mirth and the voices of bridegroom and bride in thetowns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, and the whole country will be reduced to desert, with noinhabitants.'	23 vocem laetitiae et vocemiucunditatis et vocem sponsi et vocem sponsae, et erit omnis terra sine vestigioab inhabitantibus”.
24 But we would not listen to your voice and serve the king of Babylon, and so you carried out what youhad threatened through your servants the prophets: that the bones of our kings and of our ancestors would bedragged from their resting places.	24 Et non audivimus vocem tuam, ut serviremus regiBabylonis; et statuisti verba tua, quae locutus es in manibus puerorum tuorumprophetarum, ut eicerentur ossa regum nostrorum et ossa patrum nostrorum de locosuo;
25 They were indeed tossed out to the heat of the day and the frost of the night. And people died indreadful agony, from famine, sword and plague.	25 et ecce sunt proiecta in calore diei et in gelu noctis, et mortui suntin doloribus malis, in fame et in gladio et in peste.
26 And so, because of the wickedness of the House of Israel and the House of Judah, you have madethis House, that bears your name, what it is today.	26 Et posuisti domum,super quam invocatum est nomen tuum, sicut hic dies propter malitiam domusIsrael et domus Iudae.
27 And yet, Lord our God, you have treated us in a way worthy of al your goodness and boundlesstenderness,	27 Et fecisti in nos, Domine Deus noster, secundum omnemmoderationem tuam et secundum omnem miserationem tuam magnam,
28 just as you had promised through your servant Moses, the day you told him to write your Law in thepresence of the Israelites, and said,	28 sicut locutuses in manu pueri tui Moysi in die, quo mandasti ei scribere legem tuam coramfiliis Israel
29 'If you do not listen to my voice, this great and innumerable multitude wil certainly be reduced to a tinyfew among the nations where I shal scatter them-	29 dicens: “Si non audieritis vocem meam, profecto turba haecmagna et multa convertetur in parvam inter gentes, quo eos dispergam;
30 for I knew that, being an obstinate people, they would not listen to me. But in the country of their exile,they will come to themselves	30 quiascivi quod me non audient, quia populus est dura cervice. Et convertentur ad corsuum in terra captivitatis suae
31 and acknowledge that I am the Lord their God. I shal give them a heart and an attentive ear,	31 et scient quia ego Dominus Deus illorum, etdabo illis cor intellegens et aures audientes,
32 and they will sing my praises in the country of their exile, they will remember my name;	32 et laudabunt me in terracaptivitatis suae et memores erunt nominis mei;
33 they wil stop being obstinate and, remembering what became of their ancestors who sinned before theLord, will turn from their evil deeds.	33 et avertent se a dorso suoduro et a nequissimis adinventionibus suis, quia memores erunt viae patrumsuorum, qui peccaverunt coram Domino.
34 Then I shal bring them back to the country which I promised on oath to their ancestors Abraham, Isaacand Jacob, and make them masters in it. I shal make their numbers grow; they wil not dwindle again.	34 Et convertam eos in terram, quam iuravipatribus eorum, Abraham, Isaac et Iacob; et possidebunt eam et multiplicabo eos,et non minorabuntur;
35 And I shal make an everlasting covenant with them; so that I am their God and they are my people.And never again shal I drive my people Israel out of the country which I have given them.'	35 et statuam illis testamentum aeternum, ut sim illis inDeum, et ipsi erunt mihi in populum, et ultra iam non movebo populum meum Israela terra, quam dedi illis”.
