Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.
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 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." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.
Non est ultra exultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: cogitaverunt malum. Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."
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 by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the 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 shrub in the wilderness."
Fugite, salvate animas vestras: et eritis quasi myricae in deserto.
7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials 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 The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD has spoken.
Et veniet praedo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur: et peribunt valles, et dissipabuntur campestria: quoniam dixit Dominus:
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: et civitates eius desertae erunt, et inhabitabiles.
10 Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
Maledictus, qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter: et maledictus, qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
11 'Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains 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 look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; 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 eius exhaurient, et lagunculas eorum collident.
13 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
Et confundetur Moab a Chamos, sicut confusa est domus Israel a Bethel, in qua habebat fiduciam.
14 How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"
Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, et viri robusti ad praeliandum?
15 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says 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 hurries fast.
Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat: et malum eius velociter accurret nimis.
17 All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, 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 You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
Descende de gloria, et sede in siti habitatio filiae Dibon: quoniam vastator Moab ascendet ad te, dissipabit munitiones tuas.
19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"
In via sta, et prospice habitatio Aroer: interroga fugientem: et ei, qui evasit, dic: Quid accidit?
20 "Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est: ululate, et clamate, annunciate in Arnon, quoniam vastata est Moab.
21 Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
Et iudicium venit ad terram campestrem: super Helon, et super Iasa, et super Mephaath,
22 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
et super Dibon, et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim,
23 and on Kiriathaim, 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 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,' says the LORD.
Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium eius contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 'Make him drunk; 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 wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
fuit enim in derisum tibi Israel: quasi inter fures reperisses eum: propter verba ergo tua, quae adversum illum locutus es, captivus duceris.
28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
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--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, 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,' says the LORD, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
Ego scio, ait Dominus, iactantiam eius: eo quod non sit iuxta eam virtus eius, nec iuxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
31 therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
Ideo super Moab eiulabo, et ad Moab universam clamabo, ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes.
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.
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 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 wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the 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 to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale, et Iasa, dederunt vocem suam: a Segor usque ad Oronaim vitulam conternante: aquae quoque Nemrim pessimae erunt.
35 And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says the LORD, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.
Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis, et sacrificantem diis eius.
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is 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 is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist 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 its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says the LORD.
Super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis eius omnis planctus: quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
39 How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around 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 says the LORD: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit, et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 Kerioth is 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 comprehensae sunt: et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa, sicut cor mulieris parturientis.
42 Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
Et cessabit Moab esse populus: quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.
Pavor, et fovea, et laqueus super te o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
44 He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says 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 'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.
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 to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
Vae tibi Moab, periisti popule Chamos: quia comprehensi sunt filii tui, et filiae tuae in captivitatem.
47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus. Hucusque iudicia Moab.
