Baruch 2
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,
1[Propter quod statuit Dominus Deus noster verbum suum, quod locutus est ad nos, et ad judices nostros qui judicaverunt Israël, et ad reges nostros, et ad principes nostros, et ad omnem Israël et Juda:
2To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses;
2ut adduceret Dominus super nos mala magna, quæ non sunt facta sub cælo quemadmodum facta sunt in Jerusalem, secundum quæ scripta sunt in lege Moysi,
3That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.
3et manducaret homo carnes filii sui et carnes filiæ suæ.
4Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.
4Et dedit eos sub manu regum omnium qui sunt in circuitu nostro, in improperium et in desolationem in omnibus populis in quibus nos dispersit Dominus:
5Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.
5et facti sumus subtus, et non supra, quia peccavimus Domino Deo nostro, non obaudiendo voci ipsius.
6To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.
6Domino Deo nostro justitia, nobis autem et patribus nostris confusio faciei, sicut est dies hæc:
7For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us
7quia locutus est Dominus super nos omnia mala hæc quæ venerunt super nos:
8Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.
8et non sumus deprecati faciem Domini Dei nostri, ut reverteremur unusquisque nostrum a viis nostris pessimis.
9Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.
9Et vigilavit Dominus in malis, et adduxit ea super nos: quia justus est Dominus in omnibus operibus suis quæ mandavit nobis,
10Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.
10et non audivimus vocem ipsius ut iremus in præceptis Domini, quæ dedit ante faciem nostram.]
11And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:
11[Et nunc, Domine Deus Israël, qui eduxisti populum tuum de terra Ægypti in manu valida, et in signis, et in prodigiis, et in virtute tua magna, et in brachio excelso, et fecisti tibi nomen sicut est dies iste:
12O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.
12peccavimus, impie egimus, inique gessimus, Domine Deus noster, in omnibus justitiis tuis.
13Let thy wrath turn from us: for we are but a few left among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us.
13Avertatur ira tua a nobis, quia derelicti sumus pauci inter gentes ubi dispersisti nos.
14Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:
14Exaudi, Domine, preces nostras et orationes nostras, et educ nos propter te, et da nobis invenire gratiam ante faciem eorum qui nos abduxerunt:
15That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.
15ut sciat omnis terra quia tu es Dominus Deus noster, et quia nomen tuum invocatum est super Israël, et super genus ipsius.
16O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us.
16Respice, Domine, de domo sancta tua in nos, et inclina aurem tuam, et exaudi nos.
17Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:
17Aperi oculos tuos et vide: quia non mortui qui sunt in inferno, quorum spiritus acceptus est a visceribus suis, dabunt honorem et justificationem Domino:
18But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord.
18sed anima quæ tristis est super magnitudine mali, et incedit curva et infirma, et oculi deficientes, et anima esuriens, dat tibi gloriam et justitiam Domino.
19Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.
19Quia non secundum justitias patrum nostrorum nos fundimus preces et petimus misericordiam ante conspectum tuum, Domine Deus noster:
20For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying,
20sed quia misisti iram tuam et furorem tuum super nos, sicut locutus es in manu puerorum tuorum prophetarum, dicens:
21Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.
21Sic dicit Dominus: Inclinate humerum vestrum et cervicem vestram, et opera facite regi Babylonis, et sedebitis in terra quam dedi patribus vestris.
22But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the king of Babylon,
22Quod si non audieritis vocem Domini Dei vestri, operari regi Babyloniæ, defectionem vestram faciam de civitatibus Juda, et a foris Jerusalem,
23I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.
23et auferam a vobis vocem jucunditatis et vocem gaudii, et vocem sponsi et vocem sponsæ, et erit omnis terra sine vestigio ab inhabitantibus eam.
24But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.
24Et non audierunt vocem tuam, ut operarentur regi Babylonis: et statuisti verba tua, quæ locutus es in manibus puerorum tuorum prophetarum, ut transferrentur ossa regum nostrorum et ossa patrum nostrorum de loco suo:
25And, lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.
25et ecce projecta sunt in calore solis et in gelu noctis, et mortui sunt in doloribus pessimis, in fame et in gladio, et in emissione.
26And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.
26Et posuisti templum in quo invocatum est nomen tuum in ipso sicut hæc dies, propter iniquitatem domus Israël et domus Juda.
27O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,
27Et fecisti in nobis, Domine Deus noster, secundum omnem bonitatem tuam et secundum omnem miserationem tuam illam magnam:
28As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,
28sicut locutus es in manu pueri tui Moysi, in die qua præcepisti ei scribere legem tuam coram filiis Israël,
29If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.
29dicens: Si non audieritis vocem meam, multitudo hæc magna convertetur in minimam inter gentes, quo ego eos dispergam:
30For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.
30quia scio quod me non audiet populus: populus est enim dura cervice. Et convertetur ad cor suum in terra captivitatis suæ,
31And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:
31et scient quia ego sum Dominus Deus eorum: et dabo eis cor, et intelligent; aures, et audient:
32And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,
32et laudabunt me in terra captivitatis suæ, et memores erunt nominis mei,
33And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.
33et avertent se a dorso suo duro, et a malignitatibus suis: quia reminiscentur viam patrum suorum, qui peccaverunt in me.
34And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.
34Et revocabo illos in terram quam juravi patribus eorum, Abraham, Isaac, et Jacob: et dominabuntur ejus, et multiplicabo eos, et non minorabuntur:
35And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.
35et statuam illis testamentum alterum sempiternum, ut sim illis in Deum, et ipsi erunt mihi in populum: et non movebo amplius populum meum, filios Israël, a terra quam dedi illis.]
