Geremia 4

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 “ Si converteris, Israel, ait Dominus, ad me convertere; si abstuleris abominationes tuas a facie mea, non effugies.	1 If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
2 Et iurabis: “Vivit Dominus!” in veritate et in iudicio et in iustitia, et benedicentur in ipso gentes et in ipso gloriabuntur.	2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 Haec enim dicit Dominus viro Iudae et Ierusalem: Novate vobis novale et nolite serere super spinas.	3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
4 Circumcidimini Domino et auferte praeputia cordium vestrorum, viri Iudae et habitatores Ierusalem, ne forte egrediatur ut ignis indignatio mea et succendatur, et non sit qui exstinguat, propter malitiam operum vestrorum.	4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
5 Annuntiate in Iuda et in Ierusalem auditum facite; et loquimini et canite tuba in terra, clamate fortiter et dicite: “Congregamini, et ingrediamur civitates munitas”.	5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
6 Levate signum in Sion, fugite, nolite stare, quia malum ego adduco ab aquilone et contritionem magnam.	6 Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
7 Ascendit leo de cubili suo, et praedo gentium se levavit; egressus est de loco suo, ut ponat terram tuam in solitudinem: civitates tuae vastabuntur, remanentes absque habitatore.	7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8 Super hoc accingite vos ciliciis, plangite et ululate, quia non est aversa ira furoris Domini a nobis.	8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
9 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, peribit cor regis et cor principum, et obstupescent sacerdotes, et prophetae consternabuntur ”.	9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
10 Et dixi: “ Heu, Domine Deus! Ergo decepisti populum istum et Ierusalem dicens: “Pax erit vobis”; et ecce pervenit gladius usque ad animam ”.	10 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
11 In tempore illo dicetur populo huic et Ierusalem: “ Ventus urens collium, qui sunt in deserto, invadit filiam populi mei non ad ventilandum et ad purgandum.	11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
12 Ventus plenior his veniet mihi, nunc et ego loquar iudicia mea cum eis ”.	12 Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
13 Ecce quasi nubes ascendet, et quasi tempestas currus eius; velociores aquilis equi illius. Vae nobis, quoniam vastati sumus!	13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
14 Lava a malitia cor tuum, Ierusalem, ut salva fias; usquequo morabuntur in te cogitationes iniquae?	14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
15 Vox enim annuntiantis a Dan et notam facientis calamitatem de monte Ephraim.	15 For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
16 Nuntiate gentibus. Ecce adsunt! Auditum facite hoc super Ierusalem: “ Custodes venerunt de terra longinqua et dederunt super civitates Iudae vocem suam;	16 Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17 quasi custodes agrorum facti sunt super eam in gyro, quia adversus me contumax erat ”, dicit Dominus.	17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
18 Via tua et opera tua fecerunt haec tibi; ista malitia tua, quia amara, quia tetigit cor tuum.	18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
19 Viscera mea, viscera mea! Doleo. Parietes cordis mei! Turbatur in me cor meum: non tacebo, quoniam vocem bucinae audivit anima mea, clamorem proelii.	19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 Contritio super contritionem vocata est, quoniam vastata est omnis terra, repente vastata sunt tabernacula mea, subito tentoria mea.	20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21 Usquequo videbo vexillum, audiam vocem bucinae?	21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 “ Quia stultus populus meus: me non cognoverunt; filii insipientes sunt et vecordes: sapientes sunt, ut faciant mala, bene autem facere nesciunt ”.	22 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23 Aspexi terram, et ecce vacua erat et deserta; et caelos, et non erat lux in eis.	23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 Aspexi montes, et ecce movebantur, et omnes colles conturbati sunt.	24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 Aspexi, et ecce non erat homo, et omne volatile caeli recesserat.	25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 Aspexi, et ecce hortus desertus, et omnes urbes eius destructae sunt a facie Domini et a facie irae furoris eius.	26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27 Haec enim dicit Dominus: “ Deserta erit omnis terra, sed tamen consummationem non faciam.	27 For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28 Super hoc lugebit terra, et maerebunt caeli desuper, eo quod locutus sum, statui et non paenitet me nec avertar ab eo ”.	28 For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29 A voce equitis et mittentis sagittam fugit omnis civitas; ingressi sunt silvas condensas et ascenderunt rupes; universae urbes derelictae sunt, et non habitat in eis homo.	29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30 Tu autem, vastata, quid facies? Cum vestieris te coccino, cum ornata fueris monili aureo, et pinxeris stibio oculos tuos, frustra componeris; contempserunt te amatores tui, animam tuam quaerent.	30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31 Vocem enim quasi parturientis audivi, angustias ut puerperae; vox filiae Sion intermorientis expandentisque manus suas: “ Vae mihi, quia defecit anima mea propter interfectores! ”.	31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
