Geremia 15

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Si steterit Moyses et Samuel co ram me, nonest anima mea ad populum istum; eice illos a facie mea, et egrediantur.	1 And the Lord said to me: If Moses and Samuel shall stand before me, my soul is not towards this people: cast them out from my sight, and let them go forth.
2 Quodsi 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.	2 And if they shall say unto thee: Whither shall we go forth? thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Such as are for death, to death: and such as are to the sword, to the sword: and such as are for famine, to famine: and such as are to captivity, to captivity.
3 Et mandabo super eos quattuor species, dicit Dominus: gladium ad occisionem etcanes ad lacerandum et volatilia caeli et bestias terrae ad devorandum etdissipandum.	3 And I will visit them with four kinds, saith the Lord: The sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4 Et dabo eos in commotionem universis regnis terrae, propterManassem filium Ezechiae regem Iudae, super omnibus, quae fecit in Ierusalem.	4 And I will give them up to the rage of all the kingdoms of the earth: because of Manasses the son of Ezechias the king of Juda, for all that he did in Jerusalem.
5 Quis enim miserebitur tui, Ierusalem, aut quis contristabitur pro te, aut quis ibit ad rogandum de pace tua?	5 For who shall have pity on thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go to pray for thy peace?
6 Tu reppulisti me, dicit Dominus, retrorsum abiisti; et extendi manum meam super te et interfeci te: laboravi miserans.	6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou art gone backward: and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will destroy thee: I am weary of entreating thee.
7 Et ventilavi eos ventilabro in portis terrae; orbavi et disperdidi populum meum: a viis suis non sunt reversi.	7 And I will scatter them with a fan in the gates of the land: I have killed and destroyed my people, and yet they are not returned form their ways.
8 Multiplicatae sunt mihi viduae eius super arenam maris, induxi eis super matrem militem vastatorem meridie, misi super eam repente perturbationem et terrorem.	8 Their widows are multiplied unto me above the sand of the sea: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young man a spoiler at noonday: I have cast a terror on a sudden upon the cities.
9 Infirmata est, quae peperit septem, exhalavit animam suam; occidit ei sol, cum adhuc esset dies, confusa est et erubuit, et residuos eorum in gladium dabo in conspectu inimicorum eorum ”, ait Dominus.	9 She that hath borne seven is become weak, her soul hath fainted away: her sun is gone down, while it was yet day: she is confounded, and ashamed: and the residue of them I will give up to the sword in the sight of their enemies, saith the Lord.
10 Vae mihi, mater mea, quoniam genuisti me virum rixae et virum discordiae in universa terra! Non feneravi, nec feneravit mihi quisquam; omnes maledicunt mihi.	10 Woe is me, my mother: why hast thou borne me a man of strife, a man of contention to all the earth? I have not lent on usury, neither hath any man lent to me on usury: yet all curse me.
11 Amen, Domine, ministravi tibi in bonum, intercessi apud te in tempore afflictionis et in tempore tribulationis pro inimico.	11 The Lord saith to me: Assuredly it shall be well with thy remnant, assuredly I shall help thee in the time of affliction, and in the time of tribulation against the enemy.
12 Numquid frangitur ferro ferrum aquilonis et aes?	12 Shall iron be allied with the iron from the north, and the brass?
13 “ Divitias tuas et thesauros tuos in direptionem dabo gratis, propter omnia peccata tua, in omnibus terminis tuis.	13 Thy riches and thy treasures I will give unto spoil for nothing, because of all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14 Et servire te faciam inimicis tuis in terra, quam nescis, quia ignis succensus est in furore meo: super vos ardebit ”.	14 And I will bring thy enemies out of a land, which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my rage, it shall burn upon you.
15 Tu scis, Domine; recordare mei et visita me et vindica me de his, qui persequuntur me; noli in patientia tua abripere me, scito quoniam sustinui pro te opprobrium.	15 O Lord, thou knowest, remember me, and visit me, and defend me from them that persecute me, do not defend me in thy patience: know that for thy sake I have sufferred reproach.
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.	16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy word was to me a joy and gladness of my heart: for thy name is called upon me, O Lord God of hosts.
17 Non sedi in concilio ludentium et gloriatus sum; a facie manus tuae solus sedebam, quoniam indignatione replesti me.	17 I sat not in the assembly of jesters, nor did I make a boast of the presence of thy hand: I sat alone, because thou hast filled me with threats.
18 Quare factus est dolor meus perpetuus, et plaga mea desperabilis renuit curari? Factus es mihi quasi rivus mendax, aquae infideles.	18 Why is my sorrow become perpetual, and my wound desperate so as to refuse to be healed? it is become to me as the falsehood of deceitful waters that cannot be trusted.
19 Propter hoc haec dixit 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.	19 Therefore thus saith the Lord: If thou wilt be converted, I will convert thee, and thou shalt stand before my face; and if thou wilt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: they shall be turned to thee, and thou shalt not be turned 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 te, dicit Dominus.	20 And I will make thee to this people as a strong wall of brass: and they shall fight against thee, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee to save thee, and to deliver thee, saith the Lord.
21 Et liberabo te de manu pessimorum et redimam te de manu fortium ”.	21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the mighty.
