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
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.
2 non est ultra exultatio in Moab contra Esebon cogitaverunt malum venite et disperdamus eam de gente ergo silens conticesces sequeturque te gladius
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.
3 vox clamoris de Oronaim vastitas et contritio magna
A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
4 contrita est Moab adnuntiate clamorem parvulis eius
Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.
5 per ascensum enim Luaith plorans ascendet in fletu quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt
For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.
6 fugite salvate animas vestras et eritis quasi myrice in deserto
Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a 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 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.
8 et veniet praedo ad omnem urbem et urbs nulla salvabitur et peribit vallis et dissipabuntur campestria quoniam dixit Dominus
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.
9 date florem Moab quia floriens egredietur et civitates eius desertae erunt et inhabitabiles
Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
10 maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine
Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding 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
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.
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, 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.

28 relinquite civitates et habitate in petra habitatores Moab et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis
