Baruch 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 “ ‘And now, O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, the soul in anguish and the troubled spirit cry out to you.	1 Domine omnipotens, Deus Is rael, anima in angustiis et spiri tus anxiusclamat ad te.
2 Listen, O Lord, and be merciful, for you are a merciful God, and so be merciful to us, for we have sinned before you.	2 Audi, Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus in conspectu tuo;
3 For you are enthroned in eternity, but we will pass away in time.	3 quia tu sedens es in aeternum, et nos pereuntes in aeternum.
4 O Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, listen now to the prayer of the dead of Israel and of their sons, who have sinned before you and have not listened to the voice of the Lord their God, and have joined themselves to evil.	4 Domineomnipotens, Deus Israel, audi nunc orationem defunctorum Israel et filiorumeorum, qui peccaverunt in conspectu tuo, qui non audierunt vocem Domini Dei sui,et adhaeserunt nobis mala.
5 Remember not the iniquities of our fathers, but remember your hand and your name at this time.	5 Noli memor esse iniquitatum patrum nostrorum, sedmemor esto manus tuae et nominis tui in hoc tempore,
6 For you are the Lord our God, and we will praise you, O Lord.	6 quia tu es Dominus Deusnoster, et laudabimus te, Domine,
7 And for this reason, you have imparted your fear into our hearts, and also, so that we may call upon your name and may praise you in our captivity, for we are converted from the iniquity of our fathers, who sinned before you.	7 quia propter hoc dedisti timorem tuum in cornostrum, ut invocaremus nomen tuum; et laudabimus te in captivitate nostra, quiaavertimus a corde nostro omnem iniquitatem patrum nostrorum, qui peccaverunt inconspectu tuo.
8 And, behold, we are still in our captivity on this day, where you have scattered us into disgrace, and into slander, and into sin, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, who withdrew from you, O Lord our God.	8 Ecce nos hodie in captivitate nostra, quo nos dispersisti inopprobrium et in maledictum et in expiationem, secundum omnes iniquitates patrumnostrorum, qui discesserunt a Domino Deo nostro ”.
9 Listen, O Israel, to the commandments of life! Pay attention, so that you may learn prudence!	9 Audi, Israel, mandata vitae; auribus percipite, ut sciatis prudentiam.
10 How is it, O Israel, that you are in the land of your enemies,	10 Quid est, Israel? Quid est quod in terra es inimicorum?
11 that you have grown old in a foreign land, that you are defiled with the dead, that you are regarded as among those who are descending into hell?	11 Inveterasti in terra aliena, coinquinatus es mortuis, reputatus es cum eis, qui apud inferos sunt.
12 You have forsaken the fountain of wisdom.	12 Dereliquisti fontem sapientiae!
13 For if you had walked in the way of God, you would certainly have lived in everlasting peace.	13 Si in via Dei ambulasses, habitasses in pace in aeternum.
14 Learn where prudence is, where virtue is, where understanding is, so that you may know at the same time where long life and prosperity are, where the light of the eyes and peace are.	14 Disce, ubi sit prudentia, ubi fortitudo, ubi sit intellectus, ut scias simul, ubi sit longiturnitas dierum et vita, ubi sit lumen oculorum et pax.
15 Who has discovered its place? And who has entered its treasure chamber?	15 Quis invenit locum eius? Et quis intravit in thesauros eius?
16 Where are the leaders of the peoples, and those who rule over the beasts that are upon the earth,	16 Ubi sunt principes gentium et qui dominantur bestiis, quae sunt super terram,
17 who play among the birds of the air,	17 qui in avibus caeli ludunt,
18 who store up treasures of silver and gold, in which men trust, and with whom there is no end to their acquiring, who work with silver and are anxious about it, and whose works are inexplicable?	18 qui argentum thesaurizant et aurum, in quo confidunt homines, neque est finis acquisitionis eorum; qui argentum fabricant et solliciti sunt, nec est inquisitio operum illorum?
19 They have been banished and have descended to hell, and others are risen up in their place.	19 Exterminati sunt et ad inferos descenderunt, et alii loco eorum surrexerunt.
20 The youth have seen the light and have dwelt upon the earth, yet they are ignorant of the way of instruction.	20 Iuvenes viderunt lumen et habitaverunt super terram; viam autem disciplinae non cognoverunt
21 They have neither understood the paths of it, nor have their sons accepted it. It is far from their face.	21 nec intellexerunt semitas eius; neque susceperunt eam filii eorum, a via eorum longe facti sunt.
22 It has not been heard of in the land of Canaan, nor has it been seen in Teman.	22 Neque audita est in Chanaan neque visa est in Theman.
23 It is likewise with the sons of Hagar, who search for the practicality that is of the earth, the negotiators of Merran and Teman, and the storytellers, and the searchers of discretion and intelligence. Yet the way of wisdom they have not known, nor have they called to mind its paths.	23 Filii quoque Agar, qui exquirunt sapientiam super terram, negotiatores Merran et Theman et fabulatores et inquisitores prudentiae: viam autem sapientiae non cognoverunt neque commemorati sunt semitas eius.
24 O Israel, how great is the house of God, and how vast is the place of his possession!	24 O Israel, quam magna est domus Dei, et ingens locus possessionis eius!
25 It is great and has no end! It is exalted and immense!	25 Magnus est et non habet finem, excelsus est et immensus.
26 There were those who were called giants, who existed from the beginning, of great stature, expert in war.	26 Ibi fuerunt gigantes nominati illi, qui ab initio fuerunt, statura magna, scientes bellum.
27 The Lord did not choose them, nor did they discover the way of instruction; for this reason they perished,	27 Non illos elegit Deus neque viam disciplinae dedit illis;
28 and, because they did not have wisdom, they passed away as a result of their foolishness.	28 et perierunt, quia non habuerunt prudentiam, perierunt propter insipientiam suam.
29 Who has gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought her down from the clouds?	29 Quis ascendit in caelum et accepit eam et deduxit eam de nubibus?
30 Who has crossed the sea, and found her, and brought her, chosen instead of gold?	30 Quis transfretavit mare et invenit eam et apportabit eam auro electo?
31 There is no one who is able to know her ways, nor any who can search out her paths.	31 Non est qui noverit viam eius, neque qui cogitet semitam eius.
32 Yet he who knows the universe is familiar with her, and in his foresight he invented her, he who prepared the earth for time without end, and filled it with cattle and four-footed beasts,	32 Sed qui scit omnia, novit eam, adinvenit eam prudentia sua; qui composuit terram in aeternum tempus, implevit eam iumentis quadrupedibus;
33 who sends out the light, and it goes, and who summoned it, and it obeyed him in fear.	33 qui mittit lumen et vadit, vocavit illud, et oboedivit ei in tremore.
34 Yet the stars have given light from their posts, and they rejoiced.	34 Stellae autem splenduerunt in custodiis suis et laetatae sunt.
35 They were called, and so they said, “Here we are,” and they shined with cheerfulness to him who made them.	35 Vocavit eas, et dixerunt: “Adsumus”; luxerunt cum laetitia ei, qui fecit eas.
36 This is our God, and no other can compare to him.	36 Hic est Deus noster, non aestimabitur alter adversus eum.
37 He invented the way of all instruction, and delivered it to Jacob his child, and to Israel his beloved.	37 Invenit omnem viam disciplinae et dedit eam Iacob puero suo et Israel dilecto suo.
38 After this, he was seen on earth, and he conversed with men.	38 Post haec super terram visa est et inter homines conversata est.
