Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled; Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.
Ad Moab. Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Væ super Nabo, quoniam vastata est, et confusa! capta est Cariathaim, confusa est fortis, et tremuit.
2 The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: 'Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation.' Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue thee.
Non est ultra exsultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: cogitaverunt malum: Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. Ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 Hark! a cry from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction!
Vox clamoris de Oronaim, vastitas et contritio magna.
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Contrita est Moab: annuntiate clamorem parvulis ejus.
5 For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for in the going down of Horonaim they have heard the distressing cry of destruction.
Per ascensum enim Luith plorans ascendet in fletu, quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like a tamarisk in the wilderness.
Fugite, salvate animas vestras, et eritis quasi myricæ in deserto:
7 For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken; and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
pro eo enim quod habuisti fiduciam in munitionibus tuis et in thesauris tuis, tu quoque capieris: et ibit Chamos in transmigrationem, sacerdotes ejus et principes ejus simul.
8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD hath spoken.
Et veniet prædo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur: et peribunt valles, et dissipabuntur campestria, quoniam dixit Dominus:
9 Give wings unto Moab, for she must fly and get away; and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: et civitates ejus desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.
10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD with a slack hand, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
Maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter, et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed.
Fertilis fuit Moab ab adolescentia sua, et requievit in fæcibus suis: nec transfusus est de vase in vas, et in transmigrationem non abiit: idcirco permansit gustus ejus in eo, et odor ejus non est immutatus.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him them that tilt up, and they shall tilt him up; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et mittam ei ordinatores et stratores laguncularum: et sternent eum, et vasa ejus exhaurient, et lagunculas eorum collident.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
Et confundetur Moab a Chamos sicut confusa est domus Israël a Bethel, in qua habebat fiduciam.
14 How say ye: 'We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war'?
Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, et viri robusti ad præliandum?
15 Moab is spoiled, and they are gone up into her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
Vastata est Moab, et civitates illius succiderunt, et electi juvenes ejus descenderunt in occisionem, ait Rex: Dominus exercituum nomen ejus.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat, et malum ejus velociter accurret nimis.
17 Bemoan him, all ye that are round about him, and all ye that know his name; say: 'How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!'
Consolamini eum, omnes qui estis in circuitu ejus: et universi qui scitis nomen ejus, dicite: Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?
18 O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strongholds.
Descende de gloria, et sede in siti, habitatio filiæ Dibon, quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te: dissipavit munitiones tuas.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say: 'What hath been done?'
In via sta, et prospice, habitatio Aroër: interroga fugientem, et ei qui evasit dic: Quid accidit?
20 Moab is put to shame, for it is dismayed; wail and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled.
Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est. Ululate, et clamate: annuntiate in Arnon, quoniam vastata est Moab,
21 And judgment is come upon the country of the Plain; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;
et judicium venit ad terram campestrem, super Helon, et super Jasa, et super Mephaath,
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;
et super Dibon, et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim,
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
et super Cariathaim, et super Bethgamul, et super Bethmaon,
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
et super Carioth, et super Bosra, et super omnes civitates terræ Moab, quæ longe et quæ prope sunt.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium ejus contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself against the LORD; and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est: et allidet manum Moab in vomitu suo, et erit in derisum etiam ipse.
27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? Was he found among thieves? For as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head.
Fuit enim in derisum tibi Israël: quasi inter fures reperisses eum: propter verba ergo tua quæ adversum illum locutus es, captivus duceris.
28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the pit's mouth.
Relinquite civitates, et habitate in petra, habitatores Moab: et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis.
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his haughtiness, and the assumption of his heart.
Audivimus superbiam Moab: superbus est valde: sublimitatem ejus, et arrogantiam, et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis ejus.
30 I know his arrogancy, saith the LORD, that it is ill-founded; his boastings have wrought nothing well-founded.
Ego scio, ait Dominus, jactantiam ejus, et quod non sit juxta eam virtus ejus, nec juxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
31 Therefore will I wail for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab; for the men of Kir-heres shall my heart moan.
Ideo super Moab ejulabo, et ad Moab universam clamabo, ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes:
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah; thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer; upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the spoiler is fallen.
de planctu Jazer plorabo tibi, vinea Sabama. Propagines tuæ transierunt mare; usque ad mare Jazer pervenerunt: super messem tuam et vindemiam tuam prædo irruit.
33 And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses; none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
Ablata est lætitia et exsultatio de Carmelo et de terra Moab, et vinum de torcularibus sustuli: nequaquam calcator uvæ solitum celeuma cantabit.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, even unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, a heifer of three years old; for the Waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.
De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale et Jasa, dederunt vocem suam; a Segor usque ad Oronaim, vitula conternante: aquæ quoque Nemrim pessimæ erunt.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high place, and him that offereth to his gods.
Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis, et sacrificantem diis ejus.
36 Therefore my heart moaneth for Moab like pipes, and my heart moaneth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres; therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.
Propterea cor meum ad Moab quasi tibiæ resonabit, et cor meum ad viros muri fictilis dabit sonitum tibiarum: quia plus fecit quam potuit, idcirco perierunt.
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped; upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
Omne enim caput calvitium, et omnis barba rasa erit: in cunctis manibus colligatio, et super omne dorsum cilicium:
38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the broad places thereof there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.
super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis ejus, omnis planctus: quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
39 'How is it broken down!' wail ye! 'How hath Moab turned the back with shame!' So shall Moab become a derision and a dismay to all that are round about him.
Quomodo victa est, et ululaverunt? quomodo dejecit cervicem Moab, et confusus est? eritque Moab in derisum, et in exemplum omnibus in circuitu suo.
40 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, he shall swoop as a vulture, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit, et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 The cities are taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensæ sunt: et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa sicut cor mulieris parturientis,
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
et cessabit Moab esse populus, quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
43 Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
Pavor, et fovea, et laqueus super te, o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
44 He that fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
Qui fugerit a facie pavoris cadet in foveam, et qui conscenderit de fovea capietur laqueo: adducam enim super Moab annum visitationis eorum, ait Dominus.
45 In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stand without strength; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it devoureth the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
In umbra Hesebon steterunt de laqueo fugientes, quia ignis egressus est de Hesebon, et flamma de medio Seon: et devorabit partem Moab, et verticem filiorum tumultus.
46 Woe unto thee, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.
Væ tibi, Moab: periisti, popule Chamos, quia comprehensi sunt filii tui et filiæ tuæ in captivitatem.
47 Yet will I turn the captivity of Moab in the end of days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus. Hucusque judicia Moab.
