Jeremiah 48
1 This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
Para Moab: Así dice Yahvé de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: “¡Ay de Nebó, que está devastada; confundida y tomada ha sido Kiryataim; Misgab está consternada y abatida.
2 No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
Pasó ya la gloria de Moab; en Hesbón se trama su mal. «¡Venid, exterminémosla para que no sea más nación!» Tú también, Madmén, perecerás, tras ti va la espada.
3 Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
Gritos desde Horonaim, devastación y ruina grande.
4 [All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
Moab está destruido, lloran sus parvulitos.
5 They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
En la cuesta de Luhit se oye llanto, suben llorando, y en la bajada de Horonaim se oyen angustiosos gritos de quebranto.
6 [Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
«Huid, salvad vuestras vidas, sed como un arbusto en el desierto.»
7 But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
Porque has puesto tu confianza en tus obras y en tus tesoros, también tú serás tomada; y Camos irá al cautiverio, a una con sus sacerdotes y príncipes.
8 All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
Vendrá el devastador a cada ciudad, y ninguna se salvará; será asolado el valle y devastado el altiplano, como lo ha dicho Yahvé.
9 Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
Dad alas a Moab para que se escape volando, pues sus ciudades serán un desierto, sin habitantes en ellas.
10 Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
¡Maldito aquel que ejecuta la obra de Yahvé negligentemente y maldito el que veda a su espada derramar sangre!
11 [The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
Tranquilo estuvo Moab desde su mocedad, descansando sobre sus heces, no fue trasegado de una vasija a otra, ni marchó al cautiverio, y así ha conservado su gusto y no se ha mudado su aroma.
12 But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
Por eso, he aquí que vienen días, dice Yahvé, en que le enviaré trasegadores que le trasegarán; que vaciarán sus vasijas y romperán sus tinajas.
13 Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
Entonces Moab se avergonzará de Camos, como la casa de Israel se avergonzó de Betel, objeto de su confianza.
14 [The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
¿Cómo decís: «Nosotros somos héroes y fuertes para la guerra»?
15 But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
El devastador sube contra Moab y sus ciudades, la flor de su juventud baja para la matanza, dice Yahvé, cuyo Nombre es Yahvé de los ejércitos.
16 Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
La ruina de Moab está cerca, y va a venir muy pronto su desastre.
17 You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
Lamentadle, todos sus vecinos, y todos los que conocéis su nombre, decid: «¡Cómo se ha quebrado un cetro tan fuerte, un báculo tan magnífico!»
18 You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
Desciende de tu gloria, y siéntate en lo árido, oh hija, habitadora de Dibón; porque el devastador de Moab sube contra ti, para arrasar tus fortificaciones.
19 You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
Estáte junto al camino y atalaya, moradora de Aroer, pregunta al que huye y di a la que se escapa: «¿Qué pasa?»
20 [They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
Avergonzado está Moab, porque ha sido derrotado. ¡Dad alaridos y gritad! ¡Anunciad en el Arnón que Moab está destruido!
21 [Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
El juicio ha venido sobre la tierra del Altiplano, sobre Holón, sobre Jasa y sobre Mefaat;
22 Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
sobre Dibón, sobre Nebó y sobre Bet-Diblataim;
23 Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
sobre Kiryataim, sobre Bet Gamul, y sobre Bet Maón;
24 Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
sobre Kiryat, sobre Bosra y sobre todas las ciudades del país de Moab, lejanas y cercanas.
25 Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
Ha sido cortado el cuerno de Moab, y su brazo está quebrado, dice Yahvé.
26 [You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
Embriagadle, pues se alzó contra Yahvé. ¡Revuélquese Moab en su mismo vómito, y sea objeto de mofa también él!
27 You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
¿Pues no fue Israel objeto de burla para ti? ¿Fue acaso hallado entre los ladrones? pues cuantas veces hablaste de él y meneaste la cabeza.
28 You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
Dejad las ciudades y vivid en los peñascos, habitantes de Moab, sed como la paloma que hace su nido sobre el borde de la cueva.
29 We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
Hemos oído hablar de la soberbia de Moab que es muy orgulloso, de su altanería, arrogancia, presunción y altivez de su corazón.
30 But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
Yo conozco su saña, dice Yahvé, sus vanas jactancias, sus obras falaces.
31 So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
Por eso doy alaridos por Moab, me lamento por Moab entero; son llorados los hombres de Kir-Heres.
32 You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
Más que a Jaser te lloraré a ti, oh vid de Sibmá: tus sarmientos pasaron más allá del mar, se extendieron hasta el mar de Jaser; sobre tu cosecha y tu vendimia se precipitó el devastador.
33 But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
Se ha retirado la alegría y el júbilo del campo feraz, y de la tierra de Moab; Yo he quitado a los lagares el vino; no se los pisa más con gritos de alegría, porque los gritos ya no son gritos de alegría.
34 Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
Desde Hesbón hasta Elealé se oyen gemidos, hasta Jasa llegan sus alaridos, desde Zoar hasta Horonaim y Eglat-Selisiá; pues también las aguas de Nimrim serán un desierto.
35 [I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
Exterminaré en Moab, dice Yahvé, a quien ofrezca sacrificios en las alturas, y queme incienso a sus dioses.
36 I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
Por eso mi corazón gime cual flauta por Moab; como una flauta gime mi corazón por las gentes de Kir-Heres; porque ha desaparecido lo que habían adquirido.
37 The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
Pues toda cabeza está calva, y toda barba ha sido rapada; en todas las manos hay sajaduras, y sobre los lomos llevan sacos.
38 In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
Sobre todos los terrados de Moab, y en todas sus plazas se oyen llantos, porque Yo he quebrado a Moab, como vasija inútil —oráculo de Yahvé.
39 Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
¡Cómo ha sido derribado! ¡Ululad! ¿Cómo es que Moab ha vuelto las espaldas vergonzosamente para ser un objeto de ludibrio y espanto para todos sus vecinos?
40 This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
Pues así dice Yahvé: He aquí que (el enemigo) viene volando como águila, y extiende sus alas sobre Moab.
41 Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
Conquistadas las ciudades y tomadas las fortalezas, el corazón de los guerreros de Moab en aquel día será como el corazón de una mujer que está de parto.
42 [The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
Moab será destruido y dejara de ser nación, por cuanto se ha levantado contra Yahvé.
43 [I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
¡Espanto, fosa y lazo sobre ti, habitante de Moab, dice Yahvé.
44 Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
El que escape del espanto caerá en la fosa; y el que suba de la fosa quedará preso en el lazo, porque haré venir sobre Moab el año de su visitación —oráculo de Yahvé.
45 The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
Agotados se detienen los fugitivos a la sombra de Hesbón, y llamas de en medio de Sehón, que devora las sienes de Moab, y la coronilla de los hijos del tumulto.
46 [You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
¡Ay de ti, Moab! ¡Perdido está el pueblo de Camos! Pues tus hijos son llevados al destierro, y tus hijas al cautiverio.
47 But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
Pero haré que vuelvan los cautivos de Moab en los últimos días”, dice Yahvé. Hasta aquí el juicio sobre Moab.
