Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath been broken down.
Ad Moab hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Væ super Nabo, quoniam vastata est, et confusa: capta est Cariathaim: confusa est fortis, et tremuit.
2 There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.
Non est ultra exultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: cogitaverunt malum. Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
Vox clamoris de Oronaim: vastitas, et contritio magna.
4 Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.
Contrita est Moab: annunciate clamorem parvulis eius.
5 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.
Per ascensum enim Luith plorans ascendet in fletu: quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt:
6 Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
Fugite, salvate animas vestras: et eritis quasi myricæ in deserto.
7 For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads 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 And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.
Et veniet prædo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur: et peribunt valles, et dissipabuntur campestria: quoniam dixit Dominus:
9 Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: et civitates eius desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.
10 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
Maledictus, qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter: et maledictus, qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
11 Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath not been changed.
Fertilis fuit Moab ab adolescentia sua, et requievit in fœcibus 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, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they dash 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 And ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have been ashamed Because of Beth-El their confidence.
Et confundetur Moab a Chamos, sicut confusa est domus Israel a Bethel, in qua habebat fiduciam.
14 How do ye say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, et viri robusti ad præliandum?
15 Spoiled is Moab, and her cities hath one gone up, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
Vastata est Moab, et civitates illius succiderunt: et electi iuvenes eius descenderunt in occisionem: ait rex, Dominus exercituum nomen eius.
16 Near is the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction hath hasted exceedingly.
Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat: et malum eius velociter accurret nimis.
17 Bemoan for him, all ye round about him, And all knowing his name, say ye: How hath it been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty.
Consolamini eum omnes, qui estis in circuitu eius, et universi, qui scitis nomen eius, dicite: Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?
18 Come down from honour, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab hath come up to thee, He hath destroyed thy fenced places.
Descende de gloria, et sede in siti habitatio filiæ Dibon: quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te, dissipavit munitiones tuas.
19 On the way stand, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What hath happened?
In via sta, et prospice habitatio Aroer: interroga fugientem: et ei, qui evasit, dic: Quid accidit?
20 Put to shame hath been Moab, For it hath been broken down, Howl and cry, declare ye in Arnon, For spoiled is Moab,
Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est: ululate, et clamate, annunciate in Arnon, quoniam vastata est Moab.
21 And judgment hath come in unto the land of the plain — unto Holon, And unto Jahazah, 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, and on Kirathaim,
et super Dibon, et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim,
23 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 cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.
et super Carioth, et super Bosra: et super omnes civitates terræ Moab, quæ longe, et quæ prope sunt.
25 Cut down hath been the horn of Moab, And his arm hath been broken, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium eius contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 Declare ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath been for a derision — even he.
Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est: et allidet manum Moab in vomitu suo, et erit in derisum etiam ipse:
27 And was not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan thyself.
fuit enim in derisum tibi Israel: quasi inter fures reperisses eum: propter verba ergo tua, quæ adversum illum locutus es, captivus duceris.
28 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, Ye inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit's mouth.
Relinquite civitates, et habitate in petra habitatores Moab: et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis.
29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceeding proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,
Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde: sublimitatem eius, et arrogantiam, et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis eius.
30 I — I have known, an affirmation of Jehovah, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His devices — not right they have done.
Ego scio, ait Dominus, iactantiam eius: et quod non sit iuxta eam virtus eius, nec iuxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
31 Therefore for Moab I howl, even for Moab — all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it doth mourn,
Ideo super Moab eiulabo, et ad Moab universam clamabo, ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes.
32 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest, A spoiler hath fallen.
De planctu Iazer plorabo tibi vinea Sabama: propagines tuæ transierunt mare, usque ad mare Iazer pervenerunt: super messem tuam, et vindemiam tuam prædo irruit.
33 And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no shouting!
Ablata est lætitia et exultatio de Carmelo, et de Terra Moab, et vinum de torcularibus sustuli: nequaquam calcator uvæ solitum celeuma cantabit.
34 Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become desolations.
De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale, et Iasa, dederunt vocem suam: a Segor usque ad Oronaim vitula conternante: aquæ quoque Nemrim pessimæ erunt.
35 And I have caused to cease to Moab, An affirmation of Jehovah, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making perfume to his god.
Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis, et sacrificantem diis eius.
36 Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.
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 every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins — sackcloth.
Omne enim caput calvitium, et omnis barba rasa erit: in cunctis manibus colligatio, et super omne dorsum cilicium.
38 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it — [is] lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis eius omnis planctus: quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
39 How hath it been broken down! they have howled, How hath Moab turned the neck ashamed, And Moab hath been for a derision. And for a terror to all round about her.
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 said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto Moab.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit, et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensæ sunt: et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa, sicut cor mulieris parturientis.
42 And Moab hath been destroyed from [being] a people, For against Jehovah he exerted himself.
Et cessabit Moab esse populus: quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
43 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [are] for thee, O inhabitant of Moab — an affirmation of Jehovah,
Pavor, et fovea, et laqueus super te o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
44 Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her — unto Moab — The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
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 Woe to thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh, For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy daughters with the captivity.
Væ tibi Moab, periisti popule Chamos: quia comprehensi sunt filii tui, et filiæ tuæ in captivitatem.
47 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days, An affirmation of Jehovah! Hitherto [is] the judgment of Moab.
Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus. Hucusque iudicia Moab.
