Jeremiæ 30

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Hoc verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens :	1 The following message came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2 Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël, dicens : Scribe tibi omnia verba quæ locutus sum ad te, in libro.	2 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write all the words I have spoken to you in a book.
3 Ecce enim dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et convertam conversionem populi mei Israël et Juda, ait Dominus : et convertam eos ad terram quam dedi patribus eorum, et possidebunt eam.	3 For behold, the days will come, says the LORD, when I will change the lot of my people (of Israel and Judah, says the LORD), and bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers; they shall have it as their possession.
4 Et hæc verba quæ locutus est Dominus ad Israël et ad Judam :	4 These are the words which the LORD spoke to Israel and to Judah:
5 Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus : Vocem terroris audivimus : formido, et non est pax.	5 thus says the LORD: A cry of dismay we hear; fear reigns, not peace.
6 Interrogate, et videte si generat masculus : quare ergo vidi omnis viri manum super lumbum suum, quasi parturientis, et conversæ sunt universæ facies in auruginem ?	6 Inquire, and see: since when do men bear children? Why, then, do I see all these men, with their hands on their loins like women in childbirth? Why have all their faces turned deathly pale?
7 Væ ! quia magna dies illa, nec est similis ejus : tempusque tribulationis est Jacob, et ex ipso salvabitur.	7 How mighty is that day-- none like it! A time of distress for Jacob, though he shall be saved from it.
8 Et erit in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum : conteram jugum ejus de collo tuo, et vincula ejus dirumpam, et non dominabuntur ei amplius alieni :	8 On that day, says the LORD of hosts, "I will break his yoke from off your necks and snap your bonds." Strangers shall no longer enslave them;
9 sed servient Domino Deo suo, et David regi suo, quem suscitabo eis.	9 instead, they shall serve the LORD, their God, and David, their king, whom I will raise up for them.
10 Tu ergo ne timeas, serve meus Jacob, ait Dominus, neque paveas, Israël : quia ecce ego salvabo te de terra longinqua, et semen tuum de terra captivitatis eorum : et revertetur Jacob, et quiescet, et cunctis affluet bonis, et non erit quem formidet :	10 But you, my servant Jacob, fear not, says the LORD, be not dismayed, O Israel! Behold, I will deliver you from the far-off land, your descendants, from their land of exile; Jacob shall again find rest, shall be tranquil and undisturbed,
11 quoniam tecum ego sum, ait Dominus, ut salvem te. Faciam enim consummationem in cunctis gentibus in quibus dispersi te : te autem non faciam in consummationem : sed castigabo te in judicio, ut non videaris tibi innoxius.	11 for I am with you, says the LORD, to deliver you. I will make an end of all the nations among which I have scattered you; but of you I will not make an end. I will chastise you as you deserve, I will not let you go unpunished.
12 Quia hæc dicit Dominus : Insanabilis fractura tua ; pessima plaga tua :	12 For thus says the LORD: Incurable is your wound, grievous your bruise;
13 non est qui judicet judicium tuum ad alligandum : curationum utilitas non est tibi.	13 There is none to plead your cause, no remedy for your running sore, no healing for you.
14 Omnes amatores tui obliti sunt tui, teque non quærent : plaga enim inimici percussi te castigatione crudeli : propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ dura facta sunt peccata tua.	14 All your lovers have forgotten you, they do not seek you. I struck you as an enemy would strike, punished you cruelly;
15 Quid clamas super contritione tua ? insanabilis est dolor tuus : propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ, et propter dura peccata tua, feci hæc tibi.	15 Why cry out over your wound? your pain is without relief. Because of your great guilt, your numerous sins, I have done this to you.
16 Propterea omnes qui comedunt te devorabuntur, et universi hostes tui in captivitatem ducentur : et qui te vastant vastabuntur, cunctosque prædatores tuos dabo in prædam.	16 Yet all who devour you shall be devoured, all your enemies shall go into exile. All who plunder you shall be plundered, all who pillage you I will hand over to pillage.
17 Obducam enim cicatricem tibi, et a vulneribus tuis sanabo te, dicit Dominus. Quia ejectam vocaverunt te, Sion : hæc est, quæ non habebat requirentem.	17 For I will restore you to health; of your wounds I will heal you, says the LORD. "The outcast" they have called you, "with no avenger."
18 Hæc dicit Dominus : Ecce ego convertam conversionem tabernaculorum Jacob, et tectis ejus miserebor : et ædificabitur civitas in excelso suo, et templum juxta ordinem suum fundabitur :	18 Thus says the LORD: See! I will restore the tents of Jacob, his dwellings I will pity; City shall be rebuilt upon hill, and palace restored as it was.
19 et egredietur de eis laus, voxque ludentium. Et multiplicabo eos, et non minuentur : et glorificabo eos, et non attenuabuntur.	19 From them will resound songs of praise, the laughter of happy men. I will make them not few, but many; they will not be tiny, for I will glorify them.
20 Et erunt filii ejus sicut a principio, et cœtus ejus coram me permanebit, et visitabo adversum omnes qui tribulant eum.	20 His sons shall be as of old, his assembly before me shall stand firm; I will punish all his oppressors.
21 Et erit dux ejus ex eo, et princeps de medio ejus producetur : et applicabo eum, et accedet ad me. Quis enim iste est qui applicet cor suum ut appropinquet mihi ? ait Dominus :	21 His leader shall be one of his own, and his rulers shall come from his kin. When I summon him, he shall approach me; how else should one take the deadly risk of approaching me? says the LORD.
22 et eritis mihi in populum, et ego ero vobis in Deum.	22 You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Ecce turbo Domini, furor egrediens, procella ruens : in capite impiorum conquiescet.	23 See, the storm of the LORD! His wrath breaks forth In a whirling storm that bursts upon the heads of the wicked.
24 Non avertet iram indignationis Dominus, donec faciat et compleat cogitationem cordis sui : in novissimo dierum intelligetis ea.	24 The anger of the LORD will not abate until he has done and fulfilled what he has determined in his heart. When the time comes, you will fully understand.
