Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab, thus saith ye Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Woe vnto Nebo: for it is wasted: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and afraide.
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 Moab shall boast no more of Heshbon: for they haue deuised euill against it. Come, and let vs destroy it, that it be no more a nation: also thou shalt be destroyed, O Madmen, and the sworde shall pursue thee.
Non est ultra exultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: cogitaverunt malum. Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 A voyce of crying shall be from Horonaim with desolation and great destruction.
Vox clamoris de Oronaim: vastitas, et contritio magna.
4 Moab is destroyed: her litle ones haue caused their crie to be heard.
Contrita est Moab: annunciate clamorem parvulis eius.
5 For at the going vp of Luhith, the mourner shall goe vp with weeping: for in the going downe of Horonaim, the enemies haue heard a cry of destruction,
Per ascensum enim Luith plorans ascendet in fletu: quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt:
6 Flee and saue your liues, and be like vnto the heath in the wildernesse.
Fugite, salvate animas vestras: et eritis quasi myricæ in deserto.
7 For because thou hast trusted in thy workes and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, and Chemosh shall goe forth into captiuitie with his Priestes and his princes 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 the destroyer shall come vpon all cities, and no citie shall escape: the valley also shall perish and the plaine shalbe destroyed as the Lord hath spoken.
Et veniet prædo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur: et peribunt valles, et dissipabuntur campestria: quoniam dixit Dominus:
9 Giue wings vnto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shalbe desolate, without any to dwell therein.
Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: et civitates eius desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.
10 Cursed be he that doeth the worke of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth backe his sword from blood.
Maledictus, qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter: et maledictus, qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
11 Moab hath bene at rest from his youth, and he hath setled on his lees, and hath not bene powred from vessell to vessell, neither hath he gone into captiuitie: therefore his taste remained in him and his sent is not 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 beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will send vnto him such as shall carie him away, and shall emptie his vessels, and breake their bottels.
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 Moab shalbe ashamed of Chemosh as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
Et confundetur Moab a Chamos, sicut confusa est domus Israel a Bethel, in qua habebat fiduciam.
14 Howe thinke you thus, We are mightie and strong men of warre?
Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, et viri robusti ad præliandum?
15 Moab is destroyed, and his cities burnt vp, and his chose yong men are gone downe to slaughter, saith ye King, whose name is ye Lord of hostes.
Vastata est Moab, et civitates illius succiderunt: et electi iuvenes eius descenderunt in occisionem: ait rex, Dominus exercituum nomen eius.
16 The destruction of Moab is ready to come, and his plague hasteth fast.
Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat: et malum eius velociter accurret nimis.
17 All ye that are about him, mourne for him, and all ye that knowe his name, say, Howe is the strong staffe broken, and the beautifull rod!
Consolamini eum omnes, qui estis in circuitu eius, et universi, qui scitis nomen eius, dicite: Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?
18 Thou daughter that doest inhabite Dibon, come downe from thy glory, and sit in thirst: for the destroyer of Moab shall come vpon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holdes.
Descende de gloria, et sede in siti habitatio filiæ Dibon: quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te, dissipavit munitiones tuas.
19 Thou that dwellest in Aroer, stand by the way, and beholde: aske him that fleeth and that escapeth, and say, What is done?
In via sta, et prospice habitatio Aroer: interroga fugientem: et ei, qui evasit, dic: Quid accidit?
20 Moab is cofouded: for it is destroied: howle, and cry, tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is made waste,
Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est: ululate, et clamate, annunciate in Arnon, quoniam vastata est Moab.
21 And iudgement is come vpon the plaine countrey, vpon Holon and vpon Iahazah, and vpon Mephaath,
Et iudicium venit ad terram campestrem: super Helon, et super Iasa, et super Mephaath,
22 And vpon Dibon, and vpon Nebo, and vpon the house of Diblathaim,
et super Dibon, et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim,
23 And vpon Kiriathaim, and vpon Beth-gamul, and vpon Beth-meon,
et super Cariathaim, et super Bethgamul, et super Bethmaon,
24 And vpon Kerioth, and vpon Bozrah, and vpon all the cities of ye land of Moab farre or neere.
et super Carioth, et super Bosra: et super omnes civitates terræ Moab, quæ longe, et quæ prope sunt.
25 The horne of Moab is cut off, and his arme is broken, saith the Lord.
Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium eius contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himselfe against the Lord: Moab shall wallowe in his vomite, and he also shalbe in derision.
Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est: et allidet manum Moab in vomitu suo, et erit in derisum etiam ipse:
27 For diddest not thou deride Israel, as though he had bene found among theeues? for when thou speakest of him, thou art moued.
fuit enim in derisum tibi Israel: quasi inter fures reperisses eum: propter verba ergo tua, quæ adversum illum locutus es, captivus duceris.
28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leaue the cities, and dwell in the rockes, and be like the doue, that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth.
Relinquite civitates, et habitate in petra habitatores Moab: et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis.
29 We haue heard the pride of Moab (hee is exceeding proude) his stoutnesse, and his arrogancie, and his pride, and the hautinesse of his heart.
Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde: sublimitatem eius, et arrogantiam, et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis eius.
30 I know his wrath, saith ye Lord, but it shall not be so: and his dissimulatios, for they do not right.
Ego scio, ait Dominus, iactantiam eius: et quod non sit iuxta eam virtus eius, nec iuxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
31 Therefore will I howle for Moab, and I will crie out for all Moab: mine heart shall mourne for the men of Kir-heres.
Ideo super Moab eiulabo, et ad Moab universam clamabo, ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes.
32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weepe for thee, as I wept for Iazer: thy plants are gone ouer the sea, they are come to the sea of Iazer: ye destroyer is fallen vpon thy somer fruites, and vpon thy vintage,
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 ioye, and gladnesse is taken from the plentifull fielde, and from the land of Moab: and I haue caused wine to faile from the winepresse: none shall treade with shouting: their shouting shall be 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 From the cry of Heshbon vnto Elaleh and vnto Iahaz haue they made their noyse from Zoar vnto Horonaim, ye heiffer of three yere old shall go lowing: for ye waters also of Nimrim shalbe wasted.
De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale, et Iasa, dederunt vocem suam: a Segor usque ad Oronaim vitula conternante: aquæ quoque Nemrim pessimæ erunt.
35 Moreouer, I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offered in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis, et sacrificantem diis eius.
36 Therefore mine heart shall sounde for Moab like a shaume, and mine heart shall sound like a shaume for the men of Ker-heres, because the riches that he hath gotten, is perished.
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 euery head shalbe balde, and euery beard plucked: vpon all the handes shall be cuttings, and vpon the loynes sackecloth.
Omne enim caput calvitium, et omnis barba rasa erit: in cunctis manibus colligatio, et super omne dorsum cilicium.
38 And mourning shall be vpon all the house toppes of Moab and in all the streetes thereof: for I haue broken Moab like a vessell wherein is no pleasure, sayeth the Lord.
Super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis eius omnis planctus: quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
39 They shall howle, saying, How is he destroyed? howe hath Moab turned the backe with shame? so shall Moab be a derision, and a feare to all them about him.
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 saith the Lord, Beholde, he shall flee as an eagle, and shall spread his wings ouer Moab.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit, et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 The cities are taken, and the strong holdes are wonne, and ye mightie mens hearts in Moab at that day shalbe as ye heart of a woman in trauaile.
Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensæ sunt: et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa, sicut cor mulieris parturientis.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath set vp himselfe against the Lord.
Et cessabit Moab esse populus: quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
43 Feare, and pit and snare shall be vpon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
Pavor, et fovea, et laqueus super te o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
44 He that escapeth from the feare, shall fall in the pit, and he that getteth vp out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring vpon it, euen vpon Moab, the yeere of their visitation, sayeth the Lord.
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 They that fled, stoode vnder the shadowe of Heshbon, because of the force: for the fire came out of Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon, and deuoured the corner of Moab, and the top of the seditious children.
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 Wo be vnto thee, O Moab: the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sonnes are taken captiues, and thy daughters led into captiuitie.
Væ tibi Moab, periisti popule Chamos: quia comprehensi sunt filii tui, et filiæ tuæ in captivitatem.
47 Yet will I bring againe the captiuitie of Moab in the latter dayes, sayeth the Lord. Thus farre of the iudgement of Moab.
Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus. Hucusque iudicia Moab.
