Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Sorrow on Nebo, for it has been made waste; Kiriathaim has been put to shame and is taken: the strong place is put to shame and broken down.
Con respecto a Moab, Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice: ¡Ay de Nebo, porque es destruida, de Quiriataim, porque es avergonzada y capturada! La altiva fortaleza es avergonzada y destrozada.
2 The praise of Moab has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.
Ya no hay alabanza para Moab. En Hesbón diseñan calamidad contra ella. ¡Destruyámosla como nación! Tú también, Madmena, eres silenciada. ¡La espada te persigue!
3 There is the sound of crying from Horonaim, wasting and great destruction;
¡El ruido de un clamor desde Horonaim: destrucción y gran quebrantamiento!
4 Moab is broken; her cry has gone out to Zoar.
Moab es destruido. Se oyen clamores agonizantes de sus pequeños.
5 For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.
Por la cuesta de Luhit suben con llanto incesante, y por la bajada de Horonaim el angustioso clamor de destrucción.
6 Go in flight, get away with your lives, and let your faces be turned to Aroer in the Arabah.
Huyan, salven su vidas. Sean como el asno montés en el desierto.
7 For because you have put your faith in your strong places, you, even you, will be taken: and Chemosh will go out as a prisoner, his priests and his rulers together.
Tú también serás capturada porque confías en tus logros y tesoros. Quemos será llevado en cautiverio junto con sus sacerdotes y sus magistrados.
8 And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.
Un destructor llega a cada ciudad para que ninguna escape. El valle también es arruinado, y la llanura destruida, como lo dijo Yavé.
9 Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.
Den alas a Moab para que escape volando. Sus ciudades quedan desoladas, sin habitantes en ellas.
10 Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed who keeps back his sword from blood.
Maldito el que hace la obra de Yavé con negligencia. Maldito el que restrinja su espada de la sangre.
11 From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.
Desde su juventud Moab fue negligente. Sobre los sedimentos de su copa estuvo reposado. Nunca fue trasegado de una vasija a otra. Nunca estuvo en cautiverio. Por tanto conservó su gusto y no alteró su aroma.
12 So truly, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send to him men who will have him turned over till there is no more wine in his vessels, and his wine-skins will be completely broken.
Así que ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, cuando Yo le enviaré tinajeros que lo trasieguen, vacíen sus tinajas y rompan sus odres.
13 And Moab will be shamed on account of Chemosh, as the children of Israel were shamed on account of Beth-el their hope.
Entonces Moab se avergonzará de Quemos, como la Casa de Israel se avergonzó de Bet-ʼEl, su confianza.
14 How say you, We are men of war and strong fighters?
¿Cómo pueden ustedes decir: Somos poderosos guerreros y hombres valientes para la batalla?
15 He who makes Moab waste has gone up against her; and the best of her young men have gone down to their death, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.
Moab está destruido. Sus ciudades desoladas. Sus jóvenes escogidos descendieron al matadero, dice el Rey, cuyo Nombre es Yavé de las huestes.
16 The fate of Moab is near, and trouble is coming on him very quickly.
La calamidad de Moab está cerca. Su aflicción se apresura velozmente.
17 All you who are round about him, give signs of grief for him, and all you who have knowledge of his name, say, How is the strong rod broken, even the beautiful branch!
Consuélense de él todos los que lo rodean, todos los que conocen su nombre y digan: ¡Cómo fue quebrado el cetro fuerte, un bastón de esplendor!
18 Come down from your glory, O people of Dibon, and take your seat in the place of the waste; for the attacker of Moab has gone up against you, sending destruction on your strong places.
Baja de tu gloria, y siéntate sedienta, oh hija que habitas en Dibón, porque sube contra ti el que estropea a Moab, el que destruye sus palacios amurallados.
19 O daughter of Aroer, take your station by the way, on the watch: questioning him who is in flight, and her who has got away safe, say, What has been done?
Detente en el camino, y observa, oh habitante de Aroer. Pregunta al que huye y a la que escapa: ¿Qué sucedió?
20 Moab has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made waste.
Moab fue avergonzado porque fue quebrantado. Lamenten, lloren, y digan en el Arnón que Moab es destruido,
21 And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
que la sentencia contra la llanura es ejecutada: Contra Holón, Jahaza y Mefaat,
22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,
contra Dibón, Nebo y Bet-diblataim,
23 And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,
contra Quiriataim, Bet-gamul y Bet-meón,
24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.
contra Queriot y Bosra, contra todas las ciudades de la tierra de Moab, las de lejos y las de cerca.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the Lord.
Cortaron el poder a Moab y su brazo está quebrantado, dice Yavé.
26 Make him full of wine, for his heart has been lifted up against the Lord: and Moab will be rolling in the food he was not able to keep down, and everyone will be making sport of him.
Embriáguenlo porque se volvió arrogante contra Yavé. Moab se revolcará en su vómito. También será un objeto de burla.
27 For did you not make sport of Israel? was he taken among thieves? for whenever you were talking about him, you were shaking your head over him.
¿No fue Israel un objeto de burla para ti? ¿O fue él sorprendido por ladrones? ¿Por qué mueves [despectivamente la cabeza] cuantas veces tú hablas de él?
28 O people of Moab, go away from the towns and take cover in the rock; be like the dove of the Arabah, which makes her living-place in holes.
Abandonen las ciudades y vivan en peñascos, oh habitantes de Moab. Sean como la paloma que anida en la boca de la cueva.
29 We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride; and his great opinion of himself, and that his heart is lifted up.
Oímos con respecto al orgullo de Moab, que es muy altivo, de su arrogancia, de su orgullo e insolencia y exaltación de sí mismo.
30 I have knowledge of his wrath, says the Lord, that it is nothing; his high-sounding words have done nothing.
Yo conozco su cólera, dice Yavé, pero vano es aquello de lo cual se ufana. Vano es lo que hace.
31 For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.
Por eso me lamento por Moab. Clamo por todo Moab y gimo por los hombres de Quir-hares.
32 My weeping for you, O vine of Sibmah, will be more than the weeping of Jazer: your branches have gone over the sea, stretching even to Jazer: destruction has come down on your summer fruits and your cut grapes.
Lloraré por ti más que por Jazer, oh viña de Sibma. Tus ramas se extendieron sobre el mar, y llegaron hasta el mar de Jazer. El destructor cayó sobre tus frutos de verano y tu cosecha de uvas.
33 All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.
Cesaron la alegría y el regocijo de los campos fructíferos de la tierra de Moab. Cesó el vino de tus lagares. Nadie los pisa con clamor de júbilo, porque cesó ese clamor.
34 The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.
Desde Hesbón hasta Eleale y hasta Jahaza levantan su clamor como novilla de tres años, y desde Zoar hasta Horonaim, porque las aguas de Nimrim también son desoladas.
35 And I will put an end in Moab, says the Lord, to him who is making offerings in the high place and burning perfumes to his gods.
También daré fin a Moab, dice Yavé, al que ofrece holocaustos en los lugares altos, y al que ofrece incienso a sus ʼelohim.
36 So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.
Por eso mi corazón gime con sonido de flautas por Moab. Mi corazón gime con sonido de flautas por los hombres de Quir-hareset, porque se esfuman las riquezas que adquirieron.
37 For everywhere the hair of the head and the hair of the face is cut off: on every hand there are wounds, and haircloth on every body.
Toda cabeza está calva y toda barba rasurada. Hay sajaduras en todas las manos y tela áspera en las cinturas.
38 On all the house-tops of Moab and in its streets there is weeping everywhere; for Moab has been broken like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.
Hay lamentación por todas partes sobre todas las terrazas de Moab y en sus calles, porque quiebro a Moab como una vasija en la cual no hay agrado, dice Yavé.
39 How is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone round about him.
Ellos lamentan: ¡Cuán quebrado está! ¡Cómo Moab avergonzado dio su espalda, así será Moab motivo de burla y terror para todos los que lo rodean!
40 For the Lord has said, See, he will come like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Moab.
Porque Yavé dice: Miren, uno se abalanza velozmente, como un águila con sus alas extendidas contra Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong places have been forced, and the hearts of Moab's men of war in that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
Es capturada Queriot y las fortalezas tomadas. De modo que aquel día los corazones de los hombres valientes de Moab serán como el corazón de una parturienta.
42 And Moab will come to an end as a people, because he has been lifting himself up against the Lord.
Moab es destruido hasta que deje de ser pueblo, porque se engrandeció contra Yavé.
43 Fear and death and the net have come on you, O people of Moab, says the Lord.
Terror, fosa, y trampa llegan sobre ti, oh habitante de Moab, dice Yavé.
44 He who goes in flight from the fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for I will make this come on Moab, even the year of their punishment, says the Lord.
El que huya del terror caerá en la fosa, y el que salga de la fosa caerá en la trampa, porque traigo sobre Moab el año de su castigo, dice Yavé.
45 Those who went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent ones.
Los fugitivos están sin fuerzas a la sombra de Hesbón. Un fuego sale de Hesbón, una llama de en medio de Sehón que devora las sienes de Moab y la coronilla de los hijos revoltosos.
46 Sorrow is yours, O Moab! the people of Chemosh are overcome: for your sons have been taken away as prisoners, and your daughters made servants.
¡Ay de ti, Moab! ¡Perece el pueblo de Quemos! Tus hijos van al cautiverio y tus hijas salen a la cautividad.
47 But still, I will let the fate of Moab be changed in the last days, says the Lord.
En los últimos días restauraré a los cautivos de Moab, dice Yavé. Hasta aquí la sentencia contra Moab.
