Berean Standard Bible
1[Peccatum Juda scriptum est stylo ferreo in ungue adamantino, exaratum super latitudinem cordis eorum, et in cornibus ararum eorum.
1“The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus, engraved with a diamond point on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars.
2Cum recordati fuerint filii eorum ararum suarum, et lucorum suorum, lignorumque frondentium, in montibus excelsis,
2Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles by the green trees and on the high hills.
3sacrificantes in agro: fortitudinem tuam, et omnes thesauros tuos in direptionem dabo; excelsa tua propter peccata in universis finibus tuis.
3O My mountain in the countryside, I will give over your wealth and all your treasures as plunder, because of the sin of your high places, within all your borders.
4Et relinqueris sola ab hæreditate tua, quam dedi tibi, et servire te faciam inimicis tuis in terra quam ignoras: quoniam ignem succendisti in furore meo: usque in æternum ardebit.]
4And you yourself will relinquish the inheritance that I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have kindled My anger; it will burn forever.”
5[Hæc dicit Dominus: Maledictus homo qui confidit in homine, et ponit carnem brachium suum, et a Domino recedit cor ejus.
5This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD.
6Erit enim quasi myricæ in deserto, et non videbit cum venerit bonum: sed habitabit in siccitate in deserto, in terra salsuginis et inhabitabili.
6He will be like a shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
7Benedictus vir qui confidit in Domino, et erit Dominus fiducia ejus.
7But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.
8Et erit quasi lignum quod transplantatur super aquas, quod ad humorem mittit radices suas, et non timebit cum venerit æstus: et erit folium ejus viride, et in tempore siccitatis non erit sollicitum, nec aliquando desinet facere fructum.
8He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.
9Pravum est cor omnium, et inscrutabile: quis cognoscet illud?
9The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
10Ego Dominus scrutans cor, et probans renes: qui do unicuique juxta viam suam, et juxta fructum adinventionum suarum.
10I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.
11Perdix fovit quæ non peperit: fecit divitias, et non in judicio: in dimidio dierum suorum derelinquet eas, et in novissimo suo erit insipiens.
11Like a partridge hatching eggs it did not lay is the man who makes a fortune unjustly. In the middle of his days his riches will desert him, and in the end he will be the fool.”
12Solium gloriæ altitudinis a principio, locus sanctificationis nostræ.
12A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
13Exspectatio Israël, Domine, omnes qui te derelinquunt confundentur: recedentes a te, in terra scribentur, quoniam dereliquerunt venam aquarum viventium Dominum.
13O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, the fountain of living water.
14Sana me, Domine, et sanabor: salvum me fac, et salvus ero: quoniam laus mea tu es.
14Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.
15Ecce ipsi dicunt ad me: Ubi est verbum Domini? veniat:
15Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!”
16et ego non sum turbatus, te pastorem sequens: et diem hominis non desideravi, tu scis: quod egressum est de labiis meis, rectum in conspectu tuo fuit.
16But I have not run away from being Your shepherd; I have not desired the day of despair. You know that the utterance of my lips was spoken in Your presence.
17Non sis tu mihi formidini: spes mea tu in die afflictionis.
17Do not become a terror to me; You are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18Confundantur qui me persequuntur, et non confundar ego: paveant illi, et non paveam ego: induc super eos diem afflictionis, et duplici contritione contere eos.]
18Let my persecutors be put to shame, but do not let me be put to shame. Let them be terrified, but do not let me be terrified. Bring upon them the day of disaster and shatter them with double destruction.
19Hæc dicit Dominus ad me: Vade, et sta in porta filiorum populi, per quam ingrediuntur reges Juda, et egrediuntur, et in cunctis portis Jerusalem:
19This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and stand at the gate of the people, through which the kings of Judah go in and out; and stand at all the other gates of Jerusalem.
20et dices ad eos: [Audite verbum Domini, reges Juda, et omnis Juda, cunctique habitatores Jerusalem, qui ingredimini per portas istas.
20Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, all people of Judah and Jerusalem who enter through these gates.
21Hæc dicit Dominus: Custodite animas vestras, et nolite portare pondera in die sabbati, nec inferatis per portas Jerusalem:
21This is what the LORD says: Take heed for yourselves; do not carry a load or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.
22et nolite ejicere onera de domibus vestris in die sabbati, et omne opus non facietis: sanctificate diem sabbati, sicut præcepi patribus vestris.
22You must not carry a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath day, but you must keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your forefathers.
23Et non audierunt, nec inclinaverunt aurem suam: sed induraverunt cervicem suam, ne audirent me, et ne acciperent disciplinam.
23Yet they would not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and would not listen or receive My discipline.
24Et erit: si audieritis me, dicit Dominus, ut non inferatis onera per portas civitatis hujus in die sabbati: et si sanctificaveritis diem sabbati, ne faciatis in eo omne opus:
24If, however, you listen carefully to Me, says the LORD, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and keep the Sabbath day holy, and do no work on it,
25ingredientur per portas civitatis hujus reges et principes, sedentes super solium David, et ascendentes in curribus et equis, ipsi et principes eorum, viri Juda, et habitatores Jerusalem: et habitabitur civitas hæc in sempiternum.
25then kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses with their officials, along with the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
26Et venient de civitatibus Juda, et de circuitu Jerusalem, et de terra Benjamin, et de campestribus, et de montuosis, et ab austro, portantes holocaustum, et victimam, et sacrificium, et thus, et inferent oblationem in domum Domini.
26And people will come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, and from the foothills, the hill country, and the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.
27Si autem non audieritis me ut sanctificetis diem sabbati, et ne portetis onus, et ne inferatis per portas Jerusalem in die sabbati, succendam ignem in portis ejus, et devorabit domos Jerusalem, et non extinguetur.]
27But if you do not listen to Me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load while entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire in its gates to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.’”
