Jeremiah 48
1 To Moab the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis. Wo on Nabo, for it is destried, and schent; Cariathiarym is takun, the stronge citee is schent, and tremblide.
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 And ful out ioiyng is no more in Moab, thei thouyten yuel ayens Esebon. Come ye, and leese we it fro folk. Therfor thou beynge stille, schalt be stille, and swerd schal sue thee.
Non est ultra exsultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: cogitaverunt malum: Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. Ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 A vois of cry fro Oronaym, distriynge, and greet sorewe.
Vox clamoris de Oronaim, vastitas et contritio magna.
4 Moab is defoulid, telle ye cry to litil children therof.
Contrita est Moab: annuntiate clamorem parvulis ejus.
5 For a man wepynge stiede with wepyng bi the stiyng of Luyth, for in the comyng doun of Oronaym enemyes herden the yellyng of sorewe.
Per ascensum enim Luith plorans ascendet in fletu, quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt.
6 Fle ye, saue ye youre lyues; and ye schulen be as bromes in desert.
Fugite, salvate animas vestras, et eritis quasi myricæ in deserto:
7 For that that thou haddist trist in thi strengthis, and in thi tresouris, also thou schalt be takun. And Chamos schal go in to passyng ouer, the preestis therof and the princes therof togidere.
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 robbere schal come to ech citee, and no citee schal be sauyd; and valeis schulen perische, and feeldi places schulen be distried, for the Lord seide.
Et veniet prædo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur: et peribunt valles, et dissipabuntur campestria, quoniam dixit Dominus:
9 Yyue ye the flour of Moab, for it schal go out flourynge; and the citees therof schulen be forsakun, and vnhabitable.
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: et civitates ejus desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.
10 He is cursid, that doith the werk of God gilefuli; and he is cursid, that forbedith his swerd fro blood.
Maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter, et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
11 Moab was plenteuouse fro his yong wexynge age, and restide in hise drastis, nether was sched out fro vessel in to vessel, and yede not in to passyng ouer; therfor his taaste dwellide in hym, and his odour is not chaungid.
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 Therfor lo! daies comun, seith the Lord, and Y schal sende to it ordeynours, and arayeris of potels; and thei schulen araye it, and thei schulen waste the vessels therof, and hurtle togidere the potels of hem.
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 schal be schent of Chamos, as the hous of Israel was schent of Bethel, in which it hadde trist.
Et confundetur Moab a Chamos sicut confusa est domus Israël a Bethel, in qua habebat fiduciam.
14 Hou seien ye, We ben stronge, and stalworthe men to fiyte?
Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, et viri robusti ad præliandum?
15 Moab is distried, and thei han brent the citees therof, and the chosun yonge men therof yeden doun in to sleynge, seith the kyng, the Lord of oostis 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 perischyng of Moab is nyy, that it come, and the yuel therof renneth ful swiftli.
Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat, et malum ejus velociter accurret nimis.
17 Alle ye that ben in the cumpas therof, coumforte it; and alle ye that knowen the name therof, seie, Hou is the stronge yerde brokun, the gloriouse staaf?
Consolamini eum, omnes qui estis in circuitu ejus: et universi qui scitis nomen ejus, dicite: Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?
18 Thou dwellyng of the douytir of Dibon, go doun fro glorie, sitte thou in thirst; for the distriere of Moab schal stie to thee, and he schal destrie thi strengthis.
Descende de gloria, et sede in siti, habitatio filiæ Dibon, quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te: dissipavit munitiones tuas.
19 Thou dwellyng of Aroer, stonde in the weie, and biholde; axe thou hym that fleeth, and hym that ascapide; seie thou, What bifelle?
In via sta, et prospice, habitatio Aroër: interroga fugientem, et ei qui evasit dic: Quid accidit?
20 Moab is schent, for he is ouercomun; yelle ye, and crye; telle ye in Arnon, that Moab is destried.
Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est. Ululate, et clamate: annuntiate in Arnon, quoniam vastata est Moab,
21 And doom is comun to the lond of the feeld, on Elon, and on Jesa, and on Mephat, and on Dibon,
et judicium venit ad terram campestrem, super Helon, et super Jasa, et super Mephaath,
22 and on Nabo, and on the hous of Debalthaym,
et super Dibon, et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim,
23 and on Cariathiarym, and on Bethgamul, and on Bethmaon, and on Scarioth,
et super Cariathaim, et super Bethgamul, et super Bethmaon,
24 and on Bosra, and on alle the citees of the lond of Moab, that ben fer, and that ben niy.
et super Carioth, et super Bosra, et super omnes civitates terræ Moab, quæ longe et quæ prope sunt.
25 The horn of Moab is kit awei, and the arm therof is al to-brokun, seith the Lord.
Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium ejus contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 Fille ye him greetli, for he is reisid ayens the Lord; and he schal hurtle doun the hond of Moab in his spuyng, and he also schal be in to scorn.
Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est: et allidet manum Moab in vomitu suo, et erit in derisum etiam ipse.
27 For whi, Israel, he was in to scorn to thee, as if thou haddist founde hym among theues; therfor for thi wordis whiche thou spakist ayens hym, thou schalt be led prisoner.
Fuit enim in derisum tibi Israël: quasi inter fures reperisses eum: propter verba ergo tua quæ adversum illum locutus es, captivus duceris.
28 Ye dwelleris of Moab, forsake citees, and dwelle in the stoon, and be ye as a culuer makynge nest in the hiyeste mouth of an hool.
Relinquite civitates, et habitate in petra, habitatores Moab: et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis.
29 We han herd the pride of Moab; he is ful proud.
Audivimus superbiam Moab: superbus est valde: sublimitatem ejus, et arrogantiam, et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis ejus.
30 Y knowe, seith the Lord, the hiynesse therof, and pride in word, and pride in beryng, and the hiynesse of herte, and the boost therof, and that the vertu therof is not niy, ethir lijk it, nethir it enforside to do bi that that it miyte.
Ego scio, ait Dominus, jactantiam ejus, et quod non sit juxta eam virtus ejus, nec juxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
31 Therfor Y schal weile on Moab, and Y schal crie to al Moab, to the men of the erthene wal, that weilen.
Ideo super Moab ejulabo, et ad Moab universam clamabo, ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes:
32 Of the weilyng of Jaser Y schal wepe to thee, thou vyner of Sabama; thi siouns passiden the see, tho camen `til to the see of Jazer; a robbere felle in on thi ripe corn, and on thi vyndage.
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 Ful out ioye and gladnesse is takun awei fro Carmele, and fro the lond of Moab, and Y haue take awei wyn fro pressouris; a stampere of grape schal not synge a customable myri song.
Ablata est lætitia et exsultatio de Carmelo et de terra Moab, et vinum de torcularibus sustuli: nequaquam calcator uvæ solitum celeuma cantabit.
34 Of the cry of Esebon `til to Eleale and Jesa thei yauen her vois, fro Segor `til to Oronaym a cow calf of thre yeer; forsothe the watris of Nemrym schulen be ful yuele.
De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale et Jasa, dederunt vocem suam; a Segor usque ad Oronaim, vitula conternante: aquæ quoque Nemrim pessimæ erunt.
35 And Y schal take awei fro Moab, seith the Lord, him that offrith in hiy places, and him that makith sacrifice to the goddis therof.
Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis, et sacrificantem diis ejus.
36 Therfor myn herte schal sowne as a pipe of bras to Moab, and myn herte schal yyue sown of pipis to the men of the erthene wal; for it dide more than it myyte, therfor thei perischiden.
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 whi ech heed schal be ballidnesse, and ech beerd schal be schauun; in alle hondis schal be bindyng togidere, and an heir schal be on ech bak.
Omne enim caput calvitium, et omnis barba rasa erit: in cunctis manibus colligatio, et super omne dorsum cilicium:
38 And al weilyng schal be on alle the roouys of Moab, and in the stretis therof, for Y haue al to-broke Moab as an vnprofitable vessel, seith the Lord.
super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis ejus, omnis planctus: quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
39 Hou is it ouercomun, and thei yelliden? hou hath Moab cast doun the nol, and is schent? And Moab schal be in to scorn, and in to ensaumple to alle men in his cumpas.
Quomodo victa est, et ululaverunt? quomodo dejecit cervicem Moab, et confusus est? eritque Moab in derisum, et in exemplum omnibus in circuitu suo.
40 The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! as an egle he schal fle out, and he schal stretche forth hise wyngis to Moab.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit, et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 Carioth is takun, and stronge holdis ben takun; and the herte of stronge men of Moab schal be in that dai, as the herte of a womman trauelynge of child.
Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensæ sunt: et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa sicut cor mulieris parturientis,
42 And Moab schal ceesse to be a puple, for it hadde glorie ayens the Lord.
et cessabit Moab esse populus, quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
43 Drede, and diche, and snare is on thee, thou dwellere of Moab, seith the Lord.
Pavor, et fovea, et laqueus super te, o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
44 He that fleeth fro the face of drede, schal falle in to a diche; and thei that stien fro the dyche, schulen be takun with a snare. For Y schal brynge on Moab the yeer of the visitacioun of hem, seith 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 Men fleynge fro the snare stoden in the schadewe of Esebon, for whi fier yede out of Esebon, and flawme fro the myddis of Seon; and deuouride a part of Moab, and the cop of the sones of noise.
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 Moab, wo to thee; thou puple of Chamos, hast perischid, for whi thi sones and thi douytris ben takun in to caitiftee.
Væ tibi, Moab: periisti, popule Chamos, quia comprehensi sunt filii tui et filiæ tuæ in captivitatem.
47 And Y schal conuerte the caitiftee of Moab in the laste daies, seith the Lord. Hidur to ben the domes of Moab.
Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus.] Hucusque judicia Moab.
