Baruch 5

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Jerusalem, take off your dress of sorrow and distress, put on the beauty of God's glory for evermore,	1 Exue te, Ierusalem, stola luctus et vexationis tuae et indue te decore eius, quae a Deo tibi data est gloriae in aeternum.
2 wrap the cloak of God's saving justice around you, put the diadem of the Eternal One's glory on yourhead,	2 Circumda te diploide iustitiae, quae a Deo est, et impone mitram capiti tuo gloriae Aeterni.
3 for God means to show your splendour to every nation under heaven,	3 Deus enim ostendet omni, quod sub caelo est, splendorem tuum.
4 and the name God gives you for evermore wil be, 'Peace-through-Justice, and Glory-through-Devotion'.	4 Vocabitur enim nomen tuum a Deo in aeternum: Pax iustitiae et Gloria culturae Dei.
5 Arise, Jerusalem, stand on the heights and turn your eyes to the east: see your children reassembledfrom west and east at the Holy One's command, rejoicing because God has remembered.	5 Surge, Ierusalem, et sta in excelso et circumspice ad orientem et vide congregatos filios tuos a solis ortu usque ad occasum verbo Sancti, gaudentes in memoria Dei.
6 Though they left you on foot driven by enemies, now God brings them back to you, carried gloriously,like a royal throne.	6 Exierunt enim abs te pedites abducti ab inimicis; inducet autem illos ad te portatos cum gloria sicut thronum regni;
7 For God has decreed the flattening of each high mountain, of the everlasting hills, the fil ing of theval eys to make the ground level so that Israel can walk safely in God's glory.	7 constituit enim Deus humiliare omnem montem excelsum et rupes perennes et convalles implere ad aequalitatem terrae, ut ingrediatur Israel in securitate gloriae Dei.
8 And the forests and every fragrant tree wil provide shade for Israel, at God's command;	8 Obumbrabunt autem et silvae et omne lignum suavitatis Israel ex praecepto Dei.
9 for God wil guide Israel in joy by the light of his glory, with the mercy and saving justice which comefrom him. A copy of the letter which Jeremiah sent to those about to be led captive to Babylon by the king of theBabylonians, to tel them what he had been commanded by God:	9 Praeibit enim Deus Israel cum laetitia in lumine maiestatis suae, cum misericordia et iustitia, quae est ab ipso.
