Baruch - caput 5Baruch - chapter 5

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

Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of thy mourning, and affliction: and put on the beauty, and honour of that everlasting glory which thou hast from God.

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

God will clothe thee with the double garment of justice, and will set a crown on thy head of everlasting honour.

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

For God will shew his brightness in thee, to every one under heaven.

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

For thy name shall be named to thee by God for ever: the peace of justice, and honour of piety.

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.

Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high: and look about towards the east, and behold thy children gathered together from the rising to the setting sun, by the word of the Holy One rejoicing in the remembrance of God.

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

For they went out from thee on foot, led by the enemies: but the Lord will bring them to thee exalted with honour as children of the kingdom.

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

For God hath appointed to bring down every high mountain, and the everlasting rocks, and to fill up the valleys to make them even with the ground: that Israel may walk diligently to the honour of God.

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

Moreover the woods, and every sweet-smelling tree have overshadowed Israel by the commandment of God.

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

For God will bring Israel with joy in the light of his majesty, with mercy, and justice, that cometh from him.

About Vulgate

The Vulgate is a late-4th-century Latin translation of the Bible that was to become the Catholic Church's officially promulgated Latin version of the Bible during the 16th century, and is still used fundamentally in the Latin Church to this day.

The translation was largely the work of Jerome, who in 382 had been commissioned by Pope Damasus I to revise the Vetus Latina ("Old Latin") Gospels then in use by the Roman Church. Jerome, on his own initiative, extended this work of revision and translation to include most of the books of the Bible and once published, the new version became widely adopted and over succeeding centuries eventually eclipsed the Vetus Latina, so that by the 13th century it had taken over from the former version the appellation of versio vulgata (the "version commonly used") or vulgata for short.

The Catholic Church affirmed the Vulgate as its official Latin Bible at the Council of Trent (1545–1563), though there was no authoritative edition at that time. The Clementine edition of the Vulgate of 1592 became the standard Bible text of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church and remained so until 1979 when the Nova Vulgata was promulgated.
