Jeremiæ 48
1 ad Moab haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel vae super Nabo quoniam vastata est et confusa capta est Cariathaim confusa est fortis et tremuit
Of Moab. "Thus says Jehovah 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.
2 non est ultra exultatio in Moab contra Esebon cogitaverunt malum venite et disperdamus eam de gente ergo silens conticesces sequeturque te gladius
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.
3 vox clamoris de Oronaim vastitas et contritio magna
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."
4 contrita est Moab adnuntiate clamorem parvulis eius
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 per ascensum enim Luaith plorans ascendet in fletu quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt
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.
6 fugite salvate animas vestras et eritis quasi myrice in deserto
"Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness."
7 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
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.
8 et veniet praedo ad omnem urbem et urbs nulla salvabitur et peribit vallis et dissipabuntur campestria quoniam dixit Dominus
The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Jehovah has spoken.
9 date florem Moab quia floriens egredietur et civitates eius desertae erunt et inhabitabiles
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.'
10 maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine
Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 fertilis fuit Moab ab adulescentia sua et requievit in fecibus suis nec transfusus est de vase in vas et in transmigrationem non abiit idcirco permansit gustus eius in eo et odor eius non est inmutatus
'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.
12 propterea ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et mittam ei ordinatores et stratores laguncularum et sternent eum et vasa eius exhaurient et lagoenas eorum conlident
Therefore look, the days come,' says Jehovah, '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.
13 et confundetur Moab a Chamos sicut confusa est domus Israhel a Bethel in qua habebat fiduciam
Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 quomodo dicitis fortes sumus et viri robusti ad proeliandum
How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"
15 vastata est Moab et civitates illius ascenderunt et electi iuvenes eius descenderunt in occisionem ait Rex Dominus exercituum nomen ei
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 Jehovah of hosts.
16 prope est interitus Moab ut veniat et malum eius velociter adcurret nimis
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17 consolamini eum omnes qui estis in circuitu eius et universi qui scitis nomen eius dicite quomodo confracta est virga fortis baculus gloriosus
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."
18 descende de gloria et sede in siti habitatio filiae Dibon quoniam vastator Moab ascendet ad te dissipabit munitiones tuas
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.
19 in via sta et prospice habitatio Aroer interroga fugientem et eum qui evasit dic quid accidit
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"
20 confusus est Moab quoniam victus est ululate et clamate adnuntiate in Arnon quoniam vastata est Moab
"Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
21 et iudicium venit ad terram campestrem super Helon et super Iaesa et super Mefath
Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
22 et super Dibon et super Nabo et super domum Deblathaim
and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
23 et super Cariathaim et super Bethgamul et super Bethmaon
and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,
24 et super Carioth et super Bosra et super omnes civitates terrae Moab quae longe et quae prope sunt
and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 abscisum est cornu Moab et brachium eius contritum est ait Dominus
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,' says Jehovah.
26 inebriate eum quoniam contra Dominum erectus est et adlidet manum Moab in vomitu suo et erit in derisum etiam ipse
'Make him drunk; for he magnified himself against Jehovah: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 fuit enim in derisum tibi Israhel quasi inter fures repperisses eum propter verba ergo tua quae adversum illum locutus es captivus duceris
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.
28 relinquite civitates et habitate in petra habitatores Moab et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis
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.
29 audivimus superbiam Moab superbus est valde sublimitatem eius et arrogantiam et superbiam et altitudinem cordis illius
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.
30 ego scio ait Dominus iactantiam eius et quod non sit iuxta eam virtus eius nec iuxta quod poterat conata sit facere
I know his wrath,' says Jehovah, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
31 ideo super Moab heiulabo et ad Moab universam clamabo ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes
therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 de planctu Iazer plorabo tibi vinea Sobema propagines tuae transierunt mare usque ad mare Iazer pervenerunt super messem tuam et vindemiam tuam praedo inruit
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.
33 ablata est laetitia et exultatio de Carmelo et de terra Moab et vinum de torcularibus sustuli nequaquam calcator uvae solitum celeuma cantabit
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.
34 de clamore Esebon usque Eleale et Iaesa dederunt vocem suam a Segor usque ad Oronaim vitula conternante aquae quoque Namrim pessimae erunt
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.
35 et auferam de Moab ait Dominus offerentem in excelsis et sacrificantem diis eius
And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says Jehovah, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.
36 propterea cor meum ad Moab quasi tibiae resonabit et cor meum ad viros muri fictilis dabit sonitum tibiarum quia plus fecit quam potuit idcirco perierunt
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.
37 omne enim caput calvitium et omnis barba rasa erit in cunctis manibus conligatio et super omne dorsum cilicium
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.
38 super omnia tecta Moab et in plateis eius omnis planctus quia contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile ait Dominus
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 Jehovah.
39 quomodo victa est et ululaverunt quomodo deiecit cervicem Moab et confusus est eritque Moab in derisum et in exemplum omnibus in circuitu suo
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.'
40 haec dicit Dominus ecce quasi aquila evolabit et extendet alas suas ad Moab
For thus says Jehovah: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
41 capta est Carioth et munitiones conprehensae sunt et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa sicut cor mulieris parturientis
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.
42 et cessabit Moab esse populus quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est
Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.
43 pavor et fovea et laqueus super te o habitator Moab ait Dominus
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says Jehovah.
44 qui fugit a facie pavoris cadet in foveam et qui conscenderit de fovea capietur laqueo adducam enim super Moab annum visitationis eorum dicit Dominus
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 Jehovah.
45 in umbra Esebon steterunt de laqueo fugientes quia ignis egressus est de Esebon et flamma de medio Seon et devorabit partem Moab et verticem filiorum tumultus
'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.
46 vae tibi Moab peristi popule Chamos quia conprehensi sunt filii tui et filiae tuae in captivitatem
Woe to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47 et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus ait Dominus hucusque iudicia Moab
Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
