Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why [then] doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his 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 behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir to them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.
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 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, [and] his priests and his princes 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 gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that 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 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that are about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
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 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
Et post haec reverti faciam captivos filiorum Ammon, ait Dominus.
7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; [Is] wisdom no more in Teman? hath counsel perished from the prudent? hath 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 ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time [that] I will visit him.
Fugite et terga vertite, descendite in voraginem habitatores Dedan: quoniam perditionem Esau adduxi super eum, tempus visitationis eius.
9 If grape-gatherers come to thee, would they not leave [some] gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have 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 laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he [is] not.
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 thy fatherless children, I will preserve [them] alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
Relinque pupillos tuos: ego faciam eos vivere: et viduae tuae in me sperabunt.
12 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment [was] not to drink of the cup have assuredly drank; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of it].
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, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all her 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 a rumor from the LORD, and an embassador is sent to the heathen, [saying], Assemble, 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 lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, [and] despised among men.
Ecce enim parvulum dedi te in Gentibus contemptibilem inter homines.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, [and] the pride of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the hight of the hill: though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
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 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all her 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 neighboring [cities], saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
Sicut subversa est Sodoma, et Gomorrha, et vicinae eius, ait Dominus: non habitabit ibi vir, et non incolet eam filius hominis.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man], [that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that 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 the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with 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 is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise of it was heard in the Red sea.
A voce ruinae eorum commota est terra: clamor in Mari rubro auditus est vocis eius.
22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom 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 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are faint-hearted; [there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
Ad Damascum: Confusa est Emath, et Arphad: quia auditum pessimum audierunt, turbati sunt in mari: prae solicitudine quiescere non potuit.
24 Damascus hath become feeble, [and] turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on [her]: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as 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 left, 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 cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
Ideo cadent iuvenes eius in plateis eius: et omnes viri praelii conticescent in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
Et succendam ignem in muro Damasci, et devorabit moenia Benadad.
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and lay waste the men 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 away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Fear [is] 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, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath 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 the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, [which] dwell alone.
Consurgite, et ascendite ad gentem quietam, et habitantem confidenter, ait Dominus, non ostia, nec vectes eis: soli habitant.
32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them [that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides of it, saith the LORD.
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 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] son of man dwell 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 the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against 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 saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, 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 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them towards all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither 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 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, [even] my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till 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 thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.
Et ponam solium meum in Aelam, et perdam inde reges et principes, ait Dominus.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, [that] I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
In novissimis autem diebus reverti faciam captivos Aelam, dicit Dominus.
