Jeremías 48
1 Con respecto a Moab, Yavé de las huestes, ʼElohim de Israel, dice: ¡Ay de Nebo, porque es destruida, de Quiriataim, porque es avergonzada y capturada! La altiva fortaleza es avergonzada y destrozada.
This is a message about Moab. The Commander of the armies of angels said: “Terrible things will happen to Nebo [town]; it will [soon] be ruined. Kiriathaim [city] will be captured and [all its people will be] humiliated; the high wall around their city will be ruined, and [its people] will become ashamed.
2 Ya no hay alabanza para Moab. En Hesbón diseñan calamidad contra ella. ¡Destruyámosla como nación! Tú también, Madmena, eres silenciada. ¡La espada te persigue!
No one will boast about Moab again; the [enemies of Moab] will plan to destroy [the capital city, ] Heshbon. [They will say, ] ‘Come, let’s cause Moab to no longer be a nation.’ You people in Madmen [town], you also will be silenced; enemy armies [MTY] will pursue you.
3 ¡El ruido de un clamor desde Horonaim: destrucción y gran quebrantamiento!
Listen to the people of Horonaim [town] screaming; [they will be wailing because their town will have been] devastated and destroyed [DOU].
4 Moab es destruido. Se oyen clamores agonizantes de sus pequeños.
[All of] Moab will be ruined; [even] the little children will cry [loudly].
5 Por la cuesta de Luhit suben con llanto incesante, y por la bajada de Horonaim el angustioso clamor de destrucción.
They will cry bitterly as they climb up Luhith [Hill]. [Others will wail] on the road down to Horonaim, being very sad because of [their town being] destroyed.
6 Huyan, salven su vidas. Sean como el asno montés en el desierto.
[Someone will say to them], ‘Flee! Hide in the desert!’
7 Tú también serás capturada porque confías en tus logros y tesoros. Quemos será llevado en cautiverio junto con sus sacerdotes y sus magistrados.
But you trusted that because you were rich and powerful, [you would be safe]; so you will be captured. [The statue of your god] Chemosh and all his priests and officials will be taken away to distant lands.
8 Un destructor llega a cada ciudad para que ninguna escape. El valle también es arruinado, y la llanura destruida, como lo dijo Yavé.
All the towns [in Moab] will be destroyed; none of them will escape. [Towns in] the valleys and on the plateau will [all] be destroyed, because [I, ] Yahweh, have said that is what will happen.
9 Den alas a Moab para que escape volando. Sus ciudades quedan desoladas, sin habitantes en ellas.
Spread salt on the ground in order that it will become a wasteland with [nothing growing there any more], and no one will be living in it!”
10 Maldito el que hace la obra de Yavé con negligencia. Maldito el que restrinja su espada de la sangre.
Yahweh will curse anyone who will not eagerly do what he desires, anyone who refrains from using his sword to kill [MTY] others [in Moab].
11 Desde su juventud Moab fue negligente. Sobre los sedimentos de su copa estuvo reposado. Nunca fue trasegado de una vasija a otra. Nunca estuvo en cautiverio. Por tanto conservó su gusto y no alteró su aroma.
[The people of] Moab have always felt secure; they have never been (exiled/forced [by their enemies] to go to other countries). They are like [MET] wine that has been left undisturbed [in a container for many days to give it good flavor], so now it smells good, and it tastes good.
12 Así que ciertamente vienen días, dice Yavé, cuando Yo le enviaré tinajeros que lo trasieguen, vacíen sus tinajas y rompan sus odres.
But Yahweh says that there will be a time when he will send [enemies to attack them]; they will get rid of the people of Moab like people pour out wine [on the ground] and then smash the wine jar.
13 Entonces Moab se avergonzará de Quemos, como la Casa de Israel se avergonzó de Bet-ʼEl, su confianza.
Then [the people of] Moab will be ashamed of [their god/idol] Chemosh [because it did not help them], like the Israeli people were ashamed because their gold statue of a calf [was smashed] at Bethel.
14 ¿Cómo pueden ustedes decir: Somos poderosos guerreros y hombres valientes para la batalla?
[The soldiers of Moab previously] said, “We are warriors; we have fought bravely in battles!”
15 Moab está destruido. Sus ciudades desoladas. Sus jóvenes escogidos descendieron al matadero, dice el Rey, cuyo Nombre es Yavé de las huestes.
But now our King, who is Yahweh, who is called ‘the Commander of the armies of angels’, says that [the country of] Moab and all the towns in it will be destroyed. Their fine young men will [all] be slaughtered.
16 La calamidad de Moab está cerca. Su aflicción se apresura velozmente.
Moab will very soon be destroyed. It will soon experience disaster.
17 Consuélense de él todos los que lo rodean, todos los que conocen su nombre y digan: ¡Cómo fue quebrado el cetro fuerte, un bastón de esplendor!
You [people who live in nations] near Moab, who know that it is very famous, should mourn for Moab, and say, “Its glorious power [MTY, DOU] is [completely] ended/broken.”
18 Baja de tu gloria, y siéntate sedienta, oh hija que habitas en Dibón, porque sube contra ti el que estropea a Moab, el que destruye sus palacios amurallados.
You people of Dibon [city], stop being proud because of being honored, and sit in the dust/dirt, because those who will destroy other places in Moab will attack your [city] and destroy your high walls.
19 Detente en el camino, y observa, oh habitante de Aroer. Pregunta al que huye y a la que escapa: ¿Qué sucedió?
You people of Aroer [town], stand along the road and watch. Shout to the men and women who will be fleeing [from Moab], “What has happened [there]?”
20 Moab fue avergonzado porque fue quebrantado. Lamenten, lloren, y digan en el Arnón que Moab es destruido,
[They will reply], “Moab is ruined and [we are] disgraced!” [So] weep and wail [DOU]. Proclaim at the Aroer [River] that Moab has been destroyed.
21 que la sentencia contra la llanura es ejecutada: Contra Holón, Jahaza y Mefaat,
[Yahweh] will have punished [the towns in Moab that are on] the (plateau/high level): Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
22 contra Dibón, Nebo y Bet-diblataim,
Dibon and Nebo and Beth-Diblathaim,
23 contra Quiriataim, Bet-gamul y Bet-meón,
Kiriathaim and Beth-Gamul and Beth-Meon,
24 contra Queriot y Bosra, contra todas las ciudades de la tierra de Moab, las de lejos y las de cerca.
Kerioth and Bozrah, cities that are near [each other] and towns that are far away [from each other].
25 Cortaron el poder a Moab y su brazo está quebrantado, dice Yavé.
Yahweh says, “The power [MTY] of Moab will be ended; [it is as though] [MET] Moab will have a broken arm.
26 Embriáguenlo porque se volvió arrogante contra Yavé. Moab se revolcará en su vómito. También será un objeto de burla.
[You people of] Moab have rebelled against [me, ] Yahweh; so [now] I will cause you all to [stagger like] [SIM] drunken people. [You people of] will wallow in your own vomit and be ridiculed.
27 ¿No fue Israel un objeto de burla para ti? ¿O fue él sorprendido por ladrones? ¿Por qué mueves [despectivamente la cabeza] cuantas veces tú hablas de él?
You [people of Moab] ridiculed [the people of] Israel [RHQ]. You treated them as though they were thieves [RHQ]. You shook your head at them scornfully and despised them [RHQ].
28 Abandonen las ciudades y vivan en peñascos, oh habitantes de Moab. Sean como la paloma que anida en la boca de la cueva.
You people who live in Moab, you should abandon your towns and go and live in caves. Be like [SIM] doves that make their nests in the entrances of caves.”
29 Oímos con respecto al orgullo de Moab, que es muy altivo, de su arrogancia, de su orgullo e insolencia y exaltación de sí mismo.
We have [all] heard that [the people of] are very proud; they are extremely proud and conceited/arrogant. [IDM, DOU]
30 Yo conozco su cólera, dice Yavé, pero vano es aquello de lo cual se ufana. Vano es lo que hace.
But Yahweh says, “I know about that, but it is useless for them to boast [because] it will accomplish nothing.
31 Por eso me lamento por Moab. Clamo por todo Moab y gimo por los hombres de Quir-hares.
So [now] I will wail for Moab; I will cry about all its people. I will moan for the men of Kir-Hareseth [city], [the old capital of Moab].
32 Lloraré por ti más que por Jazer, oh viña de Sibma. Tus ramas se extendieron sobre el mar, y llegaron hasta el mar de Jazer. El destructor cayó sobre tus frutos de verano y tu cosecha de uvas.
You people of Sibmah [city], you have many vineyards. [It is as though] the branches of your vines extend across the [Dead] Sea to Jazer [city].
33 Cesaron la alegría y el regocijo de los campos fructíferos de la tierra de Moab. Cesó el vino de tus lagares. Nadie los pisa con clamor de júbilo, porque cesó ese clamor.
But no one will be joyful or happy in Moab now; your fruit and grapes that ripen in the (summer/hot season) will soon be destroyed. There will be no grape juice coming from the winepresses, [so] there will be no wine. People will not shout joyfully as they tread on the grapes; people will shout, but they will not be shouting joyfully.
34 Desde Hesbón hasta Eleale y hasta Jahaza levantan su clamor como novilla de tres años, y desde Zoar hasta Horonaim, porque las aguas de Nimrim también son desoladas.
Instead, the sound of their wailing will rise from Heshbon [city] to Elealeh [town] and Jahaz [village], from Zoar [city] as far as Horonaim [town] and Eglath-Shelishiyah [village]. Even the water in Nimrim [Stream] will be dried up.
35 También daré fin a Moab, dice Yavé, al que ofrece holocaustos en los lugares altos, y al que ofrece incienso a sus ʼelohim.
[I, ] Yahweh, say that I will get rid of the people who offer sacrifices on the hilltops, and burn incense to their gods.
36 Por eso mi corazón gime con sonido de flautas por Moab. Mi corazón gime con sonido de flautas por los hombres de Quir-hareset, porque se esfuman las riquezas que adquirieron.
I [SYN] moan for the people of Moab and Kir-Hareseth like [SIM] [someone playing a funeral song on] a flute, because [all] their wealth will disappear.
37 Toda cabeza está calva y toda barba rasurada. Hay sajaduras en todas las manos y tela áspera en las cinturas.
The men will shave their heads and their beards [to show that they are mourning]. They all will slash their hands and wear (rough cloth/sackcloth) around their waists.
38 Hay lamentación por todas partes sobre todas las terrazas de Moab y en sus calles, porque quiebro a Moab como una vasija en la cual no hay agrado, dice Yavé.
In every home and in the town plazas/centers in Moab there will be [people who are] mourning, because I will have destroyed Moab like [SIM] someone smashes an [old] jar that no one wants [any more].
39 Ellos lamentan: ¡Cuán quebrado está! ¡Cómo Moab avergonzado dio su espalda, así será Moab motivo de burla y terror para todos los que lo rodean!
Moab will be completely shattered! And you will hear the people wailing loudly! They will be disgraced. Moab will become a nation that people ridicule. The people in nearby [countries] will be horrified [about what has happened there].
40 Porque Yavé dice: Miren, uno se abalanza velozmente, como un águila con sus alas extendidas contra Moab.
This is what [I, ] Yahweh, say: ‘Look! Their enemies will be swooping/rushing down over Moab like an eagle [SIM] swoops down [to seize an animal].
41 Es capturada Queriot y las fortalezas tomadas. De modo que aquel día los corazones de los hombres valientes de Moab serán como el corazón de una parturienta.
Its cities will be captured, its fortresses will be seized. [Even] their warriors will be [afraid], like [SIM] a woman who is about to give birth.
42 Moab es destruido hasta que deje de ser pueblo, porque se engrandeció contra Yavé.
[The leaders of] Moab boasted against [me, ] Yahweh, so Moab will be destroyed.
43 Terror, fosa, y trampa llegan sobre ti, oh habitante de Moab, dice Yavé.
[I, ] Yahweh, say that you people of Moab will be terrified, and fall into pits and traps.
44 El que huya del terror caerá en la fosa, y el que salga de la fosa caerá en la trampa, porque traigo sobre Moab el año de su castigo, dice Yavé.
Those who are terrified and try to run away will fall into deep pits. Whoever climbs out of a pit will be caught in a trap, because I will punish them at the time that I have chosen.’
45 Los fugitivos están sin fuerzas a la sombra de Hesbón. Un fuego sale de Hesbón, una llama de en medio de Sehón que devora las sienes de Moab y la coronilla de los hijos revoltosos.
The people will flee as far as Heshbon [city], but they will not be able to go any further, because a fire will burn in Heshbon, [which is the city] where [King] Sihon lived [long ago], and it will burn up all the people [SYN] in Moab who noisily/loudly boasted very much.
46 ¡Ay de ti, Moab! ¡Perece el pueblo de Quemos! Tus hijos van al cautiverio y tus hijas salen a la cautividad.
[You people of] Moab, terrible things will happen to you! You people who worship [your god] Chemosh, you will be destroyed. Your sons and your daughters will be captured and taken away [to other countries].
47 En los últimos días restauraré a los cautivos de Moab, dice Yavé. Hasta aquí la sentencia contra Moab.
But some day, I will enable the people of Moab to return to their land again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.” That is the end of what I prophesied about Moab.
