Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, for it is spoiled, Kiriathaim has been captured [and] put to shame, The high tower has been put to shame, Indeed, it has been broken down.
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 There is no longer praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised evil against her: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, you are cut off, A sword goes after you.
Non est ultra exsultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: cogitaverunt malum: Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. Ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
Vox clamoris de Oronaim, vastitas et contritio magna.
4 Moab has been destroyed, Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Contrita est Moab: annuntiate clamorem parvulis ejus.
5 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Weeping goes up, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries have heard a cry of desolation.
Per ascensum enim Luith plorans ascendet in fletu, quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt.
6 Flee, deliver yourselves, You are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
Fugite, salvate animas vestras, et eritis quasi myricæ in deserto:
7 For because of your trusting in your works, And in your treasures, even you are captured, And Chemosh has gone out in a removal, His priests and his heads 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 a spoiler comes to every city, And no city escapes, And the valley has perished, And the plain has been destroyed, as YHWH said.
Et veniet prædo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur: et peribunt valles, et dissipabuntur campestria, quoniam dixit Dominus:
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may go forth and flee away, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: et civitates ejus desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.
10 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of YHWH slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
Maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter, et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
11 Moab is secure from his youth, And he [is] at rest for his preserved things, And he has not been emptied out from vessel to vessel, And he has not gone into captivity, Therefore his taste has remained in him, And his fragrance has not been 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, days are coming, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sent wanderers to him, And they have caused him to wander, And they empty out his vessels, And they dash his 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 has been ashamed because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel has been ashamed Because of Beth-El, their confidence.
Et confundetur Moab a Chamos sicut confusa est domus Israël a Bethel, in qua habebat fiduciam.
14 How do you say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, et viri robusti ad præliandum?
15 Moab is spoiled, and has gone up [from] her cities, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Vastata est Moab, et civitates illius succiderunt, et electi juvenes ejus descenderunt in occisionem, ait Rex: Dominus exercituum nomen ejus.
16 The destruction of Moab is near to come, And his calamity has hurried exceedingly.
Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat, et malum ejus velociter accurret nimis.
17 Bemoan for him, all you around him, And all knowing his name, say, How it has been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty!
Consolamini eum, omnes qui estis in circuitu ejus: et universi qui scitis nomen ejus, dicite: Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?
18 Come down from glory, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab has come up to you, He has destroyed your fortifications.
Descende de gloria, et sede in siti, habitatio filiæ Dibon, quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te: dissipavit munitiones tuas.
19 Stand on the way, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What has happened?
In via sta, et prospice, habitatio Aroër: interroga fugientem, et ei qui evasit dic: Quid accidit?
20 Moab has been put to shame, For it has been broken down, Howl and cry, declare in Arnon, For Moab is spoiled,
Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est. Ululate, et clamate: annuntiate in Arnon, quoniam vastata est Moab,
21 And judgment has come to the land of the plain—to Holon, And to Jahazah, and on Mephaath,
et judicium venit ad terram campestrem, super Helon, et super Jasa, et super Mephaath,
22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,
et super Dibon, et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim,
23 And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,
et super Cariathaim, et super Bethgamul, et super Bethmaon,
24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.
et super Carioth, et super Bosra, et super omnes civitates terræ Moab, quæ longe et quæ prope sunt.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut down, And his arm has been broken, A declaration of YHWH.
Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium ejus contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 Declare him drunk, For he made himself great against YHWH And Moab has struck in his vomit, And he has been for a derision—even he.
Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est: et allidet manum Moab in vomitu suo, et erit in derisum etiam ipse.
27 And was Israel not the derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For since your words concerning him, You bemoan yourself.
Fuit enim in derisum tibi Israël: quasi inter fures reperisses eum: propter verba ergo tua quæ adversum illum locutus es, captivus duceris.
28 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, You inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a 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 arrogance of Moab, Exceedingly proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,
Audivimus superbiam Moab: superbus est valde: sublimitatem ejus, et arrogantiam, et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis ejus.
30 I have known, a declaration of YHWH, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His boastings—they have done nothing right.
Ego scio, ait Dominus, jactantiam ejus, et quod non sit juxta eam virtus ejus, nec juxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
31 Therefore I howl for Moab, even for Moab—all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it mourns,
Ideo super Moab ejulabo, et ad Moab universam clamabo, ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes:
32 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, Your branches have passed over a sea, They have come to the Sea of Jazer, On your summer fruits, and on your harvest, A spoiler has 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 joy and gladness have been removed from the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And I have caused wine to cease from winepresses, Shouting does not proceed, The shouting [is] not shouting!
Ablata est lætitia et exsultatio de Carmelo et de terra Moab, et vinum de torcularibus sustuli: nequaquam calcator uvæ solitum celeuma cantabit.
34 Because of the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh, They have given their voice to Jahaz, From Zoar to Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even [the] waters of Nimrim become desolations.
De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale et Jasa, dederunt vocem suam; a Segor usque ad Oronaim, vitula conternante: aquæ quoque Nemrim pessimæ erunt.
35 And I have caused to cease in Moab, A declaration of YHWH, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making incense to his god.
Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis, et sacrificantem diis ejus.
36 Therefore My heart sounds as pipes for Moab, And My heart sounds as pipes for men of Kir-Heres, Therefore the abundance he made 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 diminished, On all hands—cuttings, and on the loins—sackcloth.
Omne enim caput calvitium, et omnis barba rasa erit: in cunctis manibus colligatio, et super omne dorsum cilicium:
38 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it—lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure,” A declaration of YHWH.
super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis ejus, omnis planctus: quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
39 “How it has been broken down! They have howled, How Moab has turned the neck ashamed! And Moab has been for a derision And for a terror to all around her.”
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 said YHWH: “Behold, he flees as an eagle, And has spread his wings to Moab.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit, et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 The cities have been captured, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Has been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensæ sunt: et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa sicut cor mulieris parturientis,
42 And Moab has been destroyed from [being] a people, For he exerted himself against YHWH.
et cessabit Moab esse populus, quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
43 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [are] for you, O inhabitant of Moab—a declaration of YHWH,
Pavor, et fovea, et laqueus super te, o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
44 Whoever is fleeing because of the fear falls into the snare, And whoever is coming up from the snare is captured by the trap, For I bring to her—to Moab—The year of their inspection, A declaration of YHWH.
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 fugitives have stood powerless, For fire has gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumes the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
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 to you, O Moab, The people of Chemosh have perished, For your sons were taken with the captives, And your daughters with the captivity.
Væ tibi, Moab: periisti, popule Chamos, quia comprehensi sunt filii tui et filiæ tuæ in captivitatem.
47 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days,” A declaration of YHWH! “Until now [is] the judgment of Moab.”
Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus. Hucusque judicia Moab.
