Jeremiah 33

1And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying:

2Thus saith the Lord, who will do, and will form it, and prepare it, the Lord is his name.

3Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will show thee great things, and sure things which thou knowest not.

4For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Juda, which are destroyed, and to the bulwarks, and to the sword.

5Of them that come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in my wrath, and in my indignation, hiding my face from this city because of all their wickedness.

6Behold I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth.

7And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning.

8And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and despised me.

9And it shall be to me a name, and a joy, and a praise, and a gladness before all the nations of the earth, that shall hear of all the good things which I will do to them: and they shall fear and be troubled for all the good things, and for all the peace that I will make for them.

10Thus saith the Lord: There shall be heard again in this place (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast: in the cities of Juda, and without Jerusalem, which are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast)

11The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say: Give ye glory to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring their vows into the house of the Lord: for I will bring back the captivity of the land as at the first, saith the Lord.

12Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall be again in this place that is desolate without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

13And in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: and in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda shall the flocks pass again under the hand of him that numbereth them, saith the Lord.

14Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel, and to the house of Juda.

15In those days, and at that time, I will make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David, and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth.

16In those days shall Juda be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely: and this is the name that they shall call him, The Lord our just one.

17For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.

18Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually.

19And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:

20Thus saith the Lord: if my covenant, with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:

21Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests my ministers.

22As the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers.

23And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:

24Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen, are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is no more a nation before them?

25Thus saith the Lord. If I have not set my covenant between day and night, and laws to heaven and earth:

26Surely I will also cast off the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will bring back their captivity, and will have mercy on them.

1Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam secundo, cum adhuc clausus esset in atrio carceris, dicens:

2Hæc dicit Dominus, qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus : Dominus nomen ejus :

3Clama ad me, et exaudiam te, et annuntiabo tibi grandia et firma quæ nescis.

4Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël ad domos urbis hujus, et ad domos regis Juda, quæ destructæ sunt, et ad munitiones, et ad gladium

5venientium ut dimicent cum Chaldæis, et impleant eas cadaveribus hominum quos percussi in furore meo et in indignatione mea, abscondens faciem meam a civitate hac, propter omnem malitiam eorum :

6Ecce ego obducam eis cicatricem et sanitatem, et curabo eos, et revelabo illis deprecationem pacis et veritatis.

7Et convertam conversionem Juda et conversionem Jerusalem, et ædificabo eos sicut a principio.

8Et emundabo illos ab omni iniquitate sua in qua peccaverunt mihi, et propitius ero cunctis iniquitatibus eorum, in quibus dereliquerunt mihi et spreverunt me.

9Et erit mihi in nomen, et in gaudium, et in laudem, et in exsultationem cunctis gentibus terræ, quæ audierint omnia bona quæ ego facturus sum eis : et pavebunt et turbabuntur in universis bonis, et in omni pace quam ego faciam eis.

10Hæc dicit Dominus : Adhuc audietur in loco isto quem vos dicitis esse desertum, eo quod non sit homo nec jumentum in civitatibus Juda, et foris Jerusalem, quæ desolatæ sunt, absque homine, et absque habitatore, et absque pecore,

11vox gaudii et vox lætitiæ, vox sponsi et vox sponsæ, vox dicentium : Confitemini Domino exercituum, quoniam bonus Dominus, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus : et portantium vota in domum Domini : reducam enim conversionem terræ sicut a principio, dicit Dominus.

12Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum : Adhuc erit in loco isto deserto, absque homine et absque jumento, et in cunctis civitatibus ejus, habitaculum pastorum accubantium gregum.

13In civitatibus montuosis, et in civitatibus campestribus, et in civitatibus quæ ad austrum sunt, et in terra Benjamin, et in circuitu Jerusalem, et in civitatibus Juda, adhuc transibunt greges ad manum numerantis, ait Dominus.

14Ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et suscitabo verbum bonum quod locutus sum ad domum Israël et ad domum Juda.

15In diebus illis et in tempore illo germinare faciam David germen justitiæ, et faciet judicium et justitiam in terra :

16in diebus illis salvabitur Juda, et Jerusalem habitabit confidenter : et hoc est nomen quod vocabunt eum : Dominus justus noster.

17Quia hæc dicit Dominus : Non interibit de David vir qui sedeat super thronum domus Israël :

18et de sacerdotibus et de Levitis non interibit vir a facie mea, qui offerat holocautomata, et incendat sacrificum, et cædat victimas omnibus diebus.

19Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:

20Hæc dicit Dominus : Si irritum potest fieri pactum meum cum die, et pactum meum cum nocte, ut non sit dies et nox in tempore suo,

21et pactum meum irritum esse poterit cum David servo meo, ut non sit ex eo filius qui regnet in throno ejus, et Levitæ et sacerdotes ministri mei.

22Sicuti enumerari non possunt stellæ cæli, et metiri arena maris, sic multiplicabo semen David servi mei, et Levitas ministros meos.

23Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:

24Numquid non vidisti quid populus hic locutus sit, dicens : Duæ cognationes quas elegerat Dominus abjectæ sunt? et populum meum despexerunt, eo quod non sit ultra gens coram eis.

25Hæc dicit Dominus : Si pactum meum inter diem et noctem, et leges cælo et terræ non posui,

26equidem et semen Jacob et David servi mei projiciam, ut non assumam de semine ejus principes seminis Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob : reducam enim conversionem eorum, et miserebor eis.

1καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν δεύτερον καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἔτι δεδεμένος ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῆς φυλακῆς λέγων

2οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ποιῶν γῆν καὶ πλάσσων αὐτὴν τοῦ ἀνορθῶσαι αὐτήν κύριος ὄνομα αὐτῷ

3κέκραξον πρός με καὶ ἀποκριθήσομαί σοι καὶ ἀπαγγελῶ σοι μεγάλα καὶ ἰσχυρά ἃ οὐκ ἔγνως αὐτά

4ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ περὶ οἴκων τῆς πόλεως ταύτης καὶ περὶ οἴκων βασιλέως Ιουδα τῶν καθῃρημένων εἰς χάρακας καὶ προμαχῶνας

5τοῦ μάχεσθαι πρὸς τοὺς Χαλδαίους καὶ πληρῶσαι αὐτὴν τῶν νεκρῶν τῶν ἀνθρώπων οὓς ἐπάταξα ἐν ὀργῇ μου καὶ ἐν θυμῷ μου καὶ ἀπέστρεψα τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀπ' αὐτῶν περὶ πασῶν τῶν πονηριῶν αὐτῶν

6ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀνάγω αὐτῇ συνούλωσιν καὶ ἴαμα καὶ φανερώσω αὐτοῖς εἰσακούειν καὶ ἰατρεύσω αὐτὴν καὶ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς εἰρήνην καὶ πίστιν

7καὶ ἐπιστρέψω τὴν ἀποικίαν Ιουδα καὶ τὴν ἀποικίαν Ισραηλ καὶ οἰκοδομήσω αὐτοὺς καθὼς τὸ πρότερον

8καὶ καθαριῶ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν ἀδικιῶν αὐτῶν ὧν ἡμάρτοσάν μοι καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθήσομαι ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν ὧν ἥμαρτόν μοι καὶ ἀπέστησαν ἀπ' ἐμοῦ

9καὶ ἔσται εἰς εὐφροσύνην καὶ εἰς αἴνεσιν καὶ εἰς μεγαλειότητα παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς οἵτινες ἀκούσονται πάντα τὰ ἀγαθά ἃ ἐγὼ ποιήσω καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ πικρανθήσονται περὶ πάντων τῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ περὶ πάσης τῆς εἰρήνης ἧς ἐγὼ ποιήσω αὐτοῖς

10οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἔτι ἀκουσθήσεται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ ᾧ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ἔρημός ἐστιν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπων καὶ κτηνῶν ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα καὶ ἔξωθεν Ιερουσαλημ ταῖς ἠρημωμέναις παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτήνη

11φωνὴ εὐφροσύνης καὶ φωνὴ χαρμοσύνης φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ φωνὴ νύμφης φωνὴ λεγόντων ἐξομολογεῖσθε κυρίῳ παντοκράτορι ὅτι χρηστὸς κύριος ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰσοίσουσιν δῶρα εἰς οἶκον κυρίου ὅτι ἀποστρέψω πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποικίαν τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης κατὰ τὸ πρότερον εἶπεν κύριος

12οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ἔτι ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ τούτῳ τῷ ἐρήμῳ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι ἄνθρωπον καὶ κτῆνος καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ καταλύματα ποιμένων κοιταζόντων πρόβατα

13ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς ὀρεινῆς καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς Σεφηλα καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν τῆς Ναγεβ καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμιν καὶ ἐν ταῖς κύκλῳ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν πόλεσιν Ιουδα ἔτι παρελεύσεται πρόβατα ἐπὶ χεῖρα ἀριθμοῦντος εἶπεν κύριος
