Baruch 5

Apo

1 Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of mourning and affliction, and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from God for ever.

2 Cast about thee a double garment of the righteousness which cometh from God; and set a diadem on thine head of the glory of the Everlasting.

3 For God will shew thy brightness unto every country under heaven.

4 For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of God's worship.

5 Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look about toward the east, and behold thy children gathered from the west unto the east by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the remembrance of God.

6 For they departed from thee on foot, and were led away of their enemies: but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with glory, as children of the kingdom.

7 For God hath appointed that every high hill, and banks of long continuance, should be cast down, and valleys filled up, to make even the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of God,

8 Moreover even the woods and every sweetsmelling tree shall overshadow Israel by the commandment of God.

9 For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.

1 ἔκδυσαι Ιερουσαλημ τὴν στολὴν τοῦ πένθους καὶ τῆς κακώσεώς σου καὶ ἔνδυσαι τὴν εὐπρέπειαν τῆς παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ δόξης εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

2 περιβαλοῦ τὴν διπλοΐδα τῆς παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνης ἐπίθου τὴν μίτραν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλήν σου τῆς δόξης τοῦ αἰωνίου

3 ὁ γὰρ θεὸς δείξει τῇ ὑπ᾽ οὐρανὸν πάσῃ τὴν σὴν λαμπρότητα

4 κληθήσεται γάρ σου τὸ ὄνομα παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα εἰρήνη δικαιοσύνης καὶ δόξα θεοσεβείας

5 ἀνάστηθι Ιερουσαλημ καὶ στῆθι ἐπὶ τοῦ ὑψηλοῦ καὶ περίβλεψαι πρὸς ἀνατολὰς καὶ ἰδέ σου συνηγμένα τὰ τέκνα ἀπὸ ἡλίου δυσμῶν ἕως ἀνατολῶν τῷ ῥήματι τοῦ ἁγίου χαίροντας τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ μνείᾳ

6 ἐξῆλθον γὰρ παρὰ σοῦ πεζοὶ ἀγόμενοι ὑπὸ ἐχθρῶν εἰσάγει δὲ αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς πρὸς σὲ αἰρομένους μετὰ δόξης ὡς θρόνον βασιλείας

7 συνέταξεν γὰρ ὁ θεὸς ταπεινοῦσθαι πᾶν ὄρος ὑψηλὸν καὶ θῖνας ἀενάους καὶ φάραγγας πληροῦσθαι εἰς ὁμαλισμὸν τῆς γῆς ἵνα βαδίσῃ Ισραηλ ἀσφαλῶς τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ δόξῃ

8 ἐσκίασαν δὲ καὶ οἱ δρυμοὶ καὶ πᾶν ξύλον εὐωδίας τῷ Ισραηλ προστάγματι τοῦ θεοῦ

9 ἡγήσεται γὰρ ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ μετ᾽ εὐφροσύνης τῷ φωτὶ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ σὺν ἐλεημοσύνῃ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ τῇ παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ

Vul

1 [Exue te, Jerusalem, stola luctus et vexationis tuæ,
et indue te decore, et honore ejus,
quæ a Deo tibi est, sempiternæ gloriæ.

2 Circumdabit te Deus diploide justitiæ,
et imponet mitram capiti honoris æterni.

3 Deus enim ostendet splendorem suum in te,
omni qui sub cælo est.

4 Nominabitur enim tibi nomen tuum a Deo in sempiternum:
pax justitiæ, et honor pietatis.

5 Exsurge, Jerusalem, et sta in excelso:
et circumspice ad orientem,
et vide collectos filios tuos ab oriente sole usque ad occidentem,
in verbo Sancti,
gaudentes Dei memoria.

6 Exierunt enim abs te pedibus ducti ab inimicis:
adducet autem illos Dominus ad te portatos in honore
sicut filios regni:

7 constituit enim Deus
humiliare omnem montem excelsum et rupes perennes,
et convalles replere in æqualitatem terræ,
ut ambulet Israël diligenter in honorem Dei.

8 Obumbraverunt autem et silvæ,
et omne lignum suavitatis Israël
ex mandato Dei.

9 Adducet enim Deus Israël cum jucunditate in lumine majestatis suæ,
cum misericordia et justitia quæ est ex ipso.]
