Jeremiæ 49
1 ad filios Ammon haec dicit Dominus numquid filii non sunt Israhel aut heres non est ei cur igitur hereditate possedit Melchom Gad et populus eius in urbibus eius habitavit
Of the people of Ammon. "Thus says the LORD: 'Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Milcom possess Gad, and his people dwell in its cities?
2 ideo ecce dies veniunt dicit Dominus et auditum faciam super Rabbath filiorum Ammon fremitum proelii et erit in tumulum dissipata filiaeque eius igni succendentur et possidebit Israhel possessores suos dicit Dominus
Therefore look, the days come,' says the LORD, 'that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the people of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who possessed him,' says the LORD.
3 ulula Esebon quoniam vastata est Ahi clamate filiae Rabbath accingite vos ciliciis plangite et circuite per sepes quia Melchom in transmigratione ducetur sacerdotes eius et principes eius simul
'Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Milcom shall go into captivity, his priests and his officials together.
4 quid gloriaris in vallibus defluxit vallis tua filia delicata quae confidebas in thesauris tuis et dicebas quis veniet ad me
Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You who trusted in her treasures, saying, "Who shall come to me?"
5 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 fugientem
Look, I will bring a fear on you,' says the LORD of hosts, 'from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.
6 et post haec reverti faciam captivos filiorum Ammon ait Dominus
But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the people of Ammon,' says the LORD."
7 ad Idumeam haec dicit Dominus exercituum numquid non est ultra sapientia in Theman periit consilium a filiis inutilis facta est sapientia eorum
Of Edom. "Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
8 fugite terga vertite descendite in voragine habitatores Dedan quoniam perditionem Esau adduxi super eum tempus visitationis eius
Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.
9 si vindemiatores venissent super te non reliquissent racemum si fures in nocte rapuissent quod sufficeret sibi
If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, wouldn't they destroy until they had enough?
10 ego vero discoperui Esau revelavi abscondita eius et celari non poterit vastatum est semen eius et fratres eius et vicini eius et non erit
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.
11 relinque pupillos tuos ego eos faciam vivere et viduae tuae in me sperabunt
Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.'
12 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
For thus says the LORD: 'Look, they to whom it did not pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.
13 quia per memet ipsum iuravi dicit Dominus quod in solitudinem et in obprobrium et in desertum et in maledictionem erit Bosra et omnes civitates eius erunt in solitudines sempiternas
For I have sworn by myself,' says the LORD, 'that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.'"
14 auditum audivi a Domino et legatus ad gentes missus est congregamini et venite contra eam et consurgamus in proelium
I have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle."
15 ecce enim parvulum dedi te in gentibus contemptibilem inter homines
"For, look, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.
16 arrogantia tua decepit te et superbia cordis tui qui habitas in cavernis petrae et adprehendere niteris altitudinem collis cum exaltaveris quasi aquila nidum tuum inde detraham te dicit Dominus
As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there," says the LORD.
17 et erit Idumea deserta omnis qui transibit per eam stupebit et sibilabit super omnes plagas eius
"Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
18 sicuti subversa est Sodoma et Gomorra et vicinae eius ait Dominus non habitabit ibi vir et non incolet eam filius hominis
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it," says the LORD, "no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it.
19 ecce quasi leo ascendet de superbia Iordanis ad pulchritudinem robustam quia subito currere eum faciam 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
Look, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who will stand before me?
20 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
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
21 a voce ruinae eorum commota est terra clamor in mari Rubro auditus est vocis eius
The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.
22 ecce quasi aquila ascendet et evolabit et expandet alas suas super Bosram et erit cor fortium Idumeae in die illa quasi cor mulieris parturientis
Look, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs."
23 ad Damascum confusa est Emath et Arfad quia auditum pessimum audierunt turbati sunt in mari sollicitudine quiescere non potuit
Of Damascus. "Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can't be quiet.
24 dissoluta est Damascus versa in fugam tremor adprehendit eam angustia et dolores tenuerunt eam quasi parturientem
Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 quomodo dereliquerunt civitatem laudabilem urbem laetitiae
How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?
26 ideo cadent iuvenes eius in plateis eius et omnes viri proelii conticescent in die illa ait Dominus exercituum
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day," says the LORD of hosts.
27 et succendam ignem in muro Damasci et devorabit moenia Benadad
"I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad."
28 ad Cedar et ad regna Asor quae percussit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis haec dicit Dominus surgite ascendite ad Cedar et vastate filios orientis
Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. "Thus says the LORD: 'Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the people of the east.'
29 tabernacula eorum et greges eorum capient pelles eorum et omnia vasa eorum et camelos eorum tollent sibi et vocabunt super eos formidinem in circuitu
Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, 'Terror on every side.'
30 fugite abite vehementer in voraginibus sedete qui habitatis Asor ait Dominus iniit enim contra vos Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis consilium et cogitavit adversum vos cogitationes
Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor," says the LORD; "for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you."
31 consurgite et ascendite ad gentem quietam et habitantem confidenter ait Dominus non ostia non vectes ei soli habitant
"Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says the LORD; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.
32 et erunt cameli eorum in direptionem et multitudo iumentorum in praedam et dispergam eos in omnem ventum qui sunt adtonsi in comam et ex omni confinio eorum adducam interitum super eos ait Dominus
Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them," says the LORD.
33 et erit Asor in habitaculum draconum deserta usque in aeternum non manebit ibi vir nec incolet eam filius hominis
"Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."
34 quod factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam prophetam adversus Aelam in principio regni Sedeciae regis Iuda dicens
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 haec dicit Dominus exercituum ecce ego confringam arcum Aelam summam fortitudinem eorum
"Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Look, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 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
On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 et pavere faciam Aelam coram inimicis suis et in conspectu quaerentium animam eorum et adducam super eos malum iram furoris mei dicit Dominus et emittam post eos gladium donec consumam eos
I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,' says the LORD; 'and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;
38 et ponam solium meum in Aelam et perdam inde reges et principes ait Dominus
and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and officials,' says the LORD.
39 in novissimis autem diebus reverti faciam captivos Aelam dicit Dominus
'But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam,' says the LORD."
