Baruch 4 Clementine Vulgate
Baruch is not in RV1909.
1 [Hic liber mandatorum Dei, et lex quæ est in æternum: omnes qui tenent eam pervenient ad vitam: qui autem dereliquerunt eam, in mortem.
·
1 This is the book of God’s commandments and the law that endures forever. All those who hold it fast will live, but those who leave it will die.
2 Convertere, Jacob, et apprehende eam: ambula per viam ad splendorem ejus contra lumen ejus.
·
2 Turn, O Jacob, and take hold of it. Walk toward the shining of its light.
3 Ne tradas alteri gloriam tuam, et dignitatem tuam genti alienæ.
·
3 Don’t give your glory to another, nor the things that are to your advantage to a foreign nation.
4 Beati sumus, Israël, quia quæ Deo placent manifesta sunt nobis.]
·
4 O Israel, we are happy; for the things that are pleasing to God are made known to us.
5 [Animæquior esto, populus Dei, memorabilis Israël:
·
5 Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
6 venundati estis gentibus non in perditionem: sed propter quod in ira ad iracundiam provocastis Deum, traditi estis adversariis.
·
6 You were not sold to the nations for destruction, but because you moved God to wrath, you were delivered to your adversaries.
7 Exacerbastis enim eum qui fecit vos, Deum æternum, immolantes dæmoniis, et non Deo.
·
7 For you provoked him who made you by sacrificing to demons and not to God.
8 Obliti enim estis Deum qui nutrivit vos, et contristastis nutricem vestram Jerusalem.
·
8 You forgot the everlasting God who brought you up. You also grieved Jerusalem, who nursed you.
9 Vidit enim iracundiam a Deo venientem vobis, et dixit: Audite, confines Sion: adduxit enim mihi Deus luctum magnum.
·
9 For she saw the wrath that came upon you from God, and said, “Listen, you who dwell near Zion; for God has brought upon me great mourning.
10 Vidi enim captivitatem populi mei, filiorum meorum et filiarum, quam superduxit illis Æternus.
·
10 For I have seen the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting has brought upon them.
11 Nutrivi enim illos cum jucunditate; dimisi autem illos cum fletu et luctu.
·
11 For with joy I nourished them, but sent them away with weeping and mourning.
12 Nemo gaudeat super me viduam et desolatam: a multis derelicta sum propter peccata filiorum meorum, quia declinaverunt a lege Dei.
·
12 Let no man rejoice over me, a widow and forsaken by many. For the sins of my children, I am left desolate, because they turned away from the law of God
13 Justitias autem ipsius nescierunt, nec ambulaverunt per vias mandatorum Dei, neque per semitas veritatis ejus cum justitia ingressi sunt.
·
13 and had no regard for his statutes. They didn’t walk in the ways of God’s commandments or tread in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.
14 Veniant confines Sion, et memorentur captivitatem filiorum et filiarum mearum, quam superduxit illis Æternus.
·
14 Let those who dwell near Zion come and remember the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting has brought upon them.
15 Adduxit enim super illos gentem de longinquo, gentem improbam, et alterius linguæ,
·
15 For he has brought a nation upon them from afar, a shameless nation with a strange language, who didn’t respect old men or pity children.
16 qui non sunt reveriti senem, neque puerorum miserti sunt, et abduxerunt dilectos viduæ, et a filiis unicam desolaverunt.
·
16 They have carried away the dear beloved sons of the widow, and left her who was alone desolate of her daughters.”
18 qui enim adduxit super vos mala, ipse vos eripiet de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.
·
18 For he who brought these calamities upon you will deliver you from the hand of your enemies.
19 Ambulate, filii, ambulate: ego enim derelicta sum sola.
·
19 Go your way, O my children. Go your way, for I am left desolate.
20 Exui me stola pacis, indui autem me sacco obsecrationis, et clamabo ad Altissimum in diebus meis.
·
20 I have put off the garment of peace, and put on the sackcloth of my petition. I will cry to the Everlasting as long as I live.
21 Animæquiores estote, filii; clamate ad Dominum, et eripiet vos de manu principum inimicorum.
·
21 Take courage, my children. Cry to God, and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.
22 Ego enim speravi in æternum salutem vestram, et venit mihi gaudium a Sancto, super misericordia quæ veniet vobis ab æterno salutari nostro.
·
22 For I have trusted in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy has come to me from the Holy One, because of the mercy that will soon come to you from your Everlasting Savior.
23 Emisi enim vos cum luctu et ploratu: reducet autem vos mihi Dominus cum gaudio et jucunditate in sempiternum.
·
23 For I sent you out with mourning and weeping, but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness forever.
24 Sicut enim viderunt vicinæ Sion captivitatem vestram a Deo, sic videbunt et in celeritate salutem vestram a Deo, quæ superveniet vobis cum honore magno et splendore æterno.
·
24 For as now those who dwell near Zion have seen your captivity, so they will shortly see your salvation from our God which will come upon you with great glory and brightness of the Everlasting.
25 Filii, patienter sustinete iram quæ supervenit vobis: persecutus est enim te inimicus tuus: sed cito videbis perditionem ipsius, et super cervices ipsius ascendes.
·
25 My children, suffer patiently the wrath that has come upon you from God, for your enemy has persecuted you; but shortly you will see his destruction and will tread upon their necks.
26 Delicati mei ambulaverunt vias asperas: ducti sunt enim ut grex direptus ab inimicis.
·
26 My delicate ones have traveled rough roads. They were taken away like a flock carried off by enemies.
27 Animæquiores estote, filii, et proclamate ad Dominum: erit enim memoria vestra ab eo qui duxit vos.
·
27 Take courage, my children, and cry to God; for you will be remembered by him who has brought this upon you.
28 Sicut enim fuit sensus vester ut erraretis a Deo, decies tantum iterum convertentes requiretis eum:
·
28 For as it was your decision to go astray from God, return and seek him ten times more.
29 qui enim induxit vobis mala, ipse rursum adducet vobis sempiternam jucunditatem cum salute vestra.]
·
29 For he who brought these calamities upon you will bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation.
30 [Animæquior esto, Jerusalem: exhortatur enim te, qui te nominavit.
·
30 Take courage, O Jerusalem, for he who called you by name will comfort you.
31 Nocentes peribunt, qui te vexaverunt: et qui gratulati sunt in tua ruina, punientur.
·
31 Miserable are those who afflicted you and rejoiced at your fall.
32 Civitates quibus servierunt filii tui, punientur, et quæ accepit filios tuos.
·
32 Miserable are the cities which your children served. Miserable is she who received your sons.
33 Sicut enim gavisa est in tua ruina, et lætata est in casu tuo, sic contristabitur in sua desolatione,
·
33 For as she rejoiced at your fall and was glad of your ruin, so she will be grieved at her own desolation.
34 et amputabitur exsultatio multitudinis ejus, et gaudimonium ejus erit in luctum.
·
34 And I will take away her pride in her great multitude and her boasting will be turned into mourning.
35 Ignis enim superveniet ei ab Æterno in longiturnis diebus, et habitabitur a dæmoniis in multitudine temporis.
·
35 For fire will come upon her from the Everlasting for many days; and she will be inhabited by demons for a long time.
36 Circumspice, Jerusalem, ad orientem, et vide jucunditatem a Deo tibi venientem.
·
36 O Jerusalem, look around you toward the east, and behold the joy that comes to you from God.
37 Ecce enim veniunt filii tui, quos dimisisti dispersos: veniunt collecti ab oriente usque ad occidentem, in verbo Sancti, gaudentes in honorem Dei.]
·
37 Behold, your sons come, whom you sent away. They come gathered together from the east to the west at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God.
