Jeremiah 49
1 Of the people of Ammon. "Thus says Jehovah: 'Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Milcom possess Gad, and his people dwell in its cities?
Ad filios Ammon. Haec dicit Dominus: Numquid non filii sunt Israel? aut heres non est ei? Cur igitur hereditate possedit Melchom, Gad: et populus eius in urbibus eius habitavit?
2 Therefore look, the days come,' says Jehovah, 'that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the people of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who possessed him,' says Jehovah.
Ideo ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus: et auditum faciam super Rabbath filiorum Ammon fremitum praelii, et erit in tumultum dissipata, filiaeque eius igne succendentur, et possidebit Israel possessores suos, ait Dominus.
3 'Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Milcom shall go into captivity, his priests and his officials together.
Ulula Hesebon, quoniam vastata est Hai. clamate filiae Rabbath, accingite vos ciliciis: plangite et circuite per sepes: quoniam Melchom in transmigrationem ducetur, sacerdotes eius, et principes eius simul.
4 Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You who trusted in her treasures, saying, "Who shall come to me?"
Quid gloriaris in vallibus? defluxit vallis tua filia delicata, quae confidebas in thesauris tuis, et dicebas: Quis veniet ad me?
5 Look, I will bring a fear on you,' says Jehovah of hosts, 'from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.
Ecce ego inducam super te terrorem, ait Dominus Deus exercituum, ab omnibus qui sunt in circuitu tuo: et dispergemini singuli a conspectu vestro, nec erit qui congreget fugientes.
6 But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the people of Ammon,' says Jehovah."
Et post haec reverti faciam captivos filiorum Ammon, ait Dominus.
7 Of Edom. "Thus says Jehovah of hosts: 'Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
Ad Idumaeam. Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Numquid non ultra est sapientia in Theman? Periit consilium a filiis, inutilis facta est sapientia eorum.
8 Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.
Fugite et terga vertite, descendite in voraginem habitatores Dedan: quoniam perditionem Esau adduxi super eum, tempus visitationis eius.
9 If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, wouldn't they destroy until they had enough?
Si vindemiatores venissent super te, non reliquissent racemum: si fures in nocte, rapuissent quod sufficeret sibi.
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.
Ego vero discooperui Esau, revelavi abscondita eius, et celari non poterit: vastatum est semen eius, et fratres eius, et vicini eius, et non erit.
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.'
Relinque pupillos tuos: ego faciam eos vivere: et viduae tuae in me sperabunt.
12 For thus says Jehovah: 'Look, they to whom it did not pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.
Quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce quibus non erat iudicium ut biberent calicem, bibentes bibent: et tu quasi innocens relinqueris? non eris innocens, sed bibens bibes.
13 For I have sworn by myself,' says Jehovah, 'that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.'"
Quia per memetipsum iuravi, dicit Dominus, quod in solitudinem, et in opprobrium, et in desertum, et in maledictionem erit Bosra: et omnes civitates eius erunt in solitudines sempiternas.
14 I have heard news from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle."
Auditum audivi a Domino, et legatus ad Gentes missus sum: Congregamini, et venite contra eam, et consurgamus in praelium:
15 "For, look, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.
Ecce enim parvulum dedi te in Gentibus contemptibilem inter homines.
16 As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there," says Jehovah.
Arrogantia tua decepit te, et superbia cordis tui: qui habitas in cavernis petrae, et apprehendere niteris altitudinem collis. cum exaltaveris quasi aquila nidum tuum, inde detraham te, dicit Dominus.
17 "Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
Et erit Idumaea deserta: omnis qui transibit per eam, stupebit, et sibilabit super omnes plagas eius.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it," says Jehovah, "no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it.
Sicut subversa est Sodoma, et Gomorrha, et vicinae eius, ait Dominus: non habitabit ibi vir, et non incolet eam filius hominis.
19 Look, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who will stand before me?
Ecce quasi leo ascendet de superbia Iordanis ad pulchritudinem robustam: quia subito currere faciam eum ad illam: et quis erit electus, quem praeponam ei? quis enim similis mei? et quis sustinebit me? et quis est iste pastor, qui resistat vultui meo?
20 Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
Propterea audite consilium Domini, quod iniit de Edom: et cogitationes eius, quas cogitavit de habitatoribus Theman: Si non deiecerint eos parvuli gregis, nisi dissipaverint cum eis habitaculum eorum.
21 The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.
A voce ruinae eorum commota est terra: clamor in Mari rubro auditus est vocis eius.
22 Look, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs."
Ecce quasi aquila ascendet, et avolabit: et expandet alas suas super Bosran: et erit cor fortium Idumaeae in die illa, quasi cor mulieris parturientis.
23 Of Damascus. "Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can't be quiet.
Ad Damascum: Confusa est Emath, et Arphad: quia auditum pessimum audierunt, turbati sunt in mari: prae solicitudine quiescere non potuit.
24 Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
Dissoluta est Damascus, versa est in fugam, tremor apprehendit eam: angustia et dolores tenuerunt eam quasi parturientem.
25 How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?
Quomodo dereliquerunt civitatem laudabilem, urbem laetitiae!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day," says Jehovah of hosts.
Ideo cadent iuvenes eius in plateis eius: et omnes viri praelii conticescent in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum.
27 "I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad."
Et succendam ignem in muro Damasci, et devorabit moenia Benadad.
28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. "Thus says Jehovah: 'Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the people of the east.'
Ad Cedar, et ad regna Asor, quae percussit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis. Haec dicit Dominus: Surgite, et ascendite ad Cedar, et vastate filios Orientis.
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, 'Terror on every side.'
Tabernacula eorum, et greges eorum capient: pelles eorum, et omnia vasa eorum, et camelos eorum tollent sibi: et vocabunt super eos formidinem in circuitu.
30 Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor," says Jehovah; "for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you."
Fugite, abite vehementer, in voraginibus sedete, qui habitatis Asor, ait Dominus: iniit enim contra vos Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis consilium, et cogitavit adversum vos cogitationes.
31 "Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says Jehovah; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.
Consurgite, et ascendite ad gentem quietam, et habitantem confidenter, ait Dominus, non ostia, nec vectes eis: soli habitant.
32 Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them," says Jehovah.
Et erunt cameli eorum in direptionem, et multitudo iumentorum in praedam: et dispergam eos in omnem ventum, qui sunt attonsi in comam: et ex omni confinio eorum adducam interitum super eos, ait Dominus.
33 "Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."
Et erit Asor in habitaculum draconum, deserta usque in aeternum: non manebit ibi vir, nec incolet eam filius hominis.
34 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
Quod facum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam adversus Aelam in principio regni Sedechiae regis Iuda, dicens:
35 "Thus says Jehovah of hosts: 'Look, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce ego confringam arcum Aelam, et summam fortitudinem eorum.
36 On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
Et inducam super Aelam quattuor ventos a quattuor plagis caeli: et ventilabo eos in omnes ventos istos: et non erit gens, ad quam non perveniant profugi Aelam.
37 I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,' says Jehovah; 'and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;
Et pavere faciam Aelam coram inimicis suis, et in conspectu quaerentium animam eorum: et adducam super eos malum, iram furoris mei, dicit Dominus: et mittam post eos gladium donec consumam eos.
38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and officials,' says Jehovah.
Et ponam solium meum in Aelam, et perdam inde reges et principes, ait Dominus.
39 'But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam,' says Jehovah."
In novissimis autem diebus reverti faciam captivos Aelam, dicit Dominus.
