Jeremiah 48
1 Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded [and] taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
Ad Moab haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Vae super Nabo, quoniam vastata est, et confusa: capta est Cariathaim: confusa est fortis, et tremuit.
2 [There shall be] no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from [being] a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
Non est ultra exultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: cogitaverunt malum. Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 A voice of crying [shall be] 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: annunciate clamorem parvulis eius.
5 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a 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 the heath in the wilderness.
Fugite, salvate animas vestras: et eritis quasi myricae in deserto.
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity [with] 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 eius, et principes eius 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 praedo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur: et peribunt valles, et dissipabuntur campestria: quoniam dixit Dominus:
9 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: et civitates eius desertae erunt, et inhabitabiles.
10 Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, 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 remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
Fertilis fuit Moab ab adolescentia sua, et requievit in foecibus suis: nec transfusus est de vase in vas, et in transmigrationem non abiit: idcirco permansit gustus eius in eo, et odor eius non est immutatus.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et mittam ei ordinatores, et stratores laguncularum, et sternent eum, et vasa eius 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 Israel a Bethel, in qua habebat fiduciam.
14 How say ye, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war?
Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, et viri robusti ad praeliandum?
15 Moab is spoiled, and gone up [out of] 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 succenderunt: et electi iuvenes eius descenderunt in occisionem: ait rex, Dominus exercituum nomen eius.
16 The calamity of Moab [is] near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat: et malum eius velociter accurret nimis.
17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] the beautiful rod!
Consolamini eum omnes, qui estis in circuitu eius, et universi, qui scitis nomen eius, dicite: Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?
18 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from [thy] glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, [and] he shall destroy thy strong holds.
Descende de gloria, et sede in siti habitatio filiae Dibon: quoniam vastator Moab ascendet ad te, dissipabit munitiones tuas.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say, What is done?
In via sta, et prospice habitatio Aroer: interroga fugientem: et ei, qui evasit, dic: Quid accidit?
20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est: ululate, et clamate, annunciate in Arnon, quoniam vastata est Moab.
21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
Et iudicium venit ad terram campestrem: super Helon, et super Iasa, 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 terrae Moab, quae longe, et quae prope sunt.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium eius contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified [himself] against the LORD: Moab also 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 since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
fuit enim in derisum tibi Israel: quasi inter fures reperisses eum: propter verba ergo tua, quae 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 hole’s mouth.
Relinquite civitates, et habitate in petra habitatores Moab: et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis.
29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde: sublimitatem eius, et arrogantiam, et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis eius.
30 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it].
Ego scio, ait Dominus, iactantiam eius: eo quod non sit iuxta eam virtus eius, nec iuxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; [mine heart] shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
Ideo super Moab eiulabo, et ad Moab universam clamabo, ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach [even] to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
De planctu Iazer plorabo tibi vinea Sabama: propagines tuae transierunt mare, usque ad mare Iazer pervenerunt: super messem tuam, et vindemiam tuam praedo irruit.
33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no shouting.
Ablata est laetitia et exultatio de Carmelo, et de Terra Moab, et vinum de torcularibus sustuli: nequaquam calcator uvae solitum celeuma cantabit.
34 From the cry of Heshbon [even] unto Elealeh, [and even] unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar [even] unto Horonaim, [as] an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale, et Iasa, dederunt vocem suam: a Segor usque ad Oronaim vitulam conternante: aquae quoque Nemrim pessimae erunt.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis, et sacrificantem diis eius.
36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches [that] he hath gotten are perished.
Propterea cor meum ad Moab quasi tibia aeris resonabit: et cor meum ad viros muri fictilis dabit sonitum tibiarum: quia plus fecit quam potuit, idcirco perierunt.
37 For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands [shall be] 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 [There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure, saith the LORD.
Super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis eius omnis planctus: quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
39 They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
Quomodo victa est, et ululaverunt? quomodo deiecit 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 fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit, et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensae 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 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] 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 fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, [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 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour 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 Sion, et devorabit partem Moab, et verticem filiorum tumultus.
46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
Vae tibi Moab, periisti popule Chamos: quia comprehensi sunt filii tui, et filiae tuae in captivitatem.
47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far [is] the judgment of Moab.
Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus. Hucusque iudicia Moab.
