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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled; Kirjathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.
2 non est ultra exultatio in Moab contra Esebon cogitaverunt malum venite et disperdamus eam de gente ergo silens conticesces sequeturque te gladius
Moab's praise is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from [being] a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be cut down; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 vox clamoris de Oronaim vastitas et contritio magna
A voice of crying from Horonaim; wasting and great destruction!
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 continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim is heard the anguish 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 thou hast confided in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken, and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8 et veniet praedo ad omnem urbem et urbs nulla salvabitur et peribit vallis et dissipabuntur campestria quoniam dixit Dominus
And the waster shall come upon every city, that not a city shall escape; and the valley shall perish, and the plateau shall be destroyed: as Jehovah hath said.
9 date florem Moab quia floriens egredietur et civitates eius desertae erunt et inhabitabiles
Give wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; and the cities thereof shall become a desolation, without inhabitant.
10 maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine
Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth 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 hath been at ease from his youth, and hath settled on his lees; he hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained 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 behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will send unto him pourers that shall pour him off, and shall empty his vessels, and break in pieces his flagons.
13 et confundetur Moab a Chamos sicut confusa est domus Israhel a Bethel in qua habebat fiduciam
And 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 do ye say, We are mighty, and men of valour 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 his cities are gone up [in smoke], and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith 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 hasteth 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 ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that 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
Come down from [thy] glory and sit in the drought, O inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, thy strongholds hath he destroyed.
19 in via sta et prospice habitatio Aroer interroga fugientem et eum qui evasit dic quid accidit
Stand by the way, and watch, inhabitress of Aroer; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What is done?
20 confusus est Moab quoniam victus est ululate et clamate adnuntiate in Arnon quoniam vastata est Moab
Moab is put to shame; for he is broken down: howl and cry; tell it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21 et iudicium venit ad terram campestrem super Helon et super Iaesa et super Mefath
And judgment is come upon the country of the plateau; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;
22 et super Dibon et super Nabo et super domum Deblathaim
and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;
23 et super Cariathaim et super Bethgamul et super Bethmaon
and upon Kirjathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
24 et super Carioth et super Bosra et super omnes civitates terrae Moab quae longe et quae prope sunt
and upon Kerijoth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and 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, saith Jehovah.
26 inebriate eum quoniam contra Dominum erectus est et adlidet manum Moab in vomitu suo et erit in derisum etiam ipse
Make him drunken, 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 was not Israel a derision unto thee? Was he found among thieves, that as oft as thou didst speak of him, thou didst shake the head?
28 relinquite civitates et habitate in petra habitatores Moab et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis
Leave the cities, and dwell in the rocks, ye inhabitants of Moab, and be like the dove, that maketh her nest in the sides of the cave's mouth.
29 audivimus superbiam Moab superbus est valde sublimitatem eius et arrogantiam et superbiam et altitudinem cordis illius
We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, — [he is] very proud; — his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, 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, saith Jehovah; his pratings are vain: they do not as [they say].
31 ideo super Moab heiulabo et ad Moab universam clamabo ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes
Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall there be moaning.
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
O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with more than the weeping of Jaazer: thy shoots passed over the sea, they reached to the sea of Jaazer. The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 ablata est laetitia et exultatio de Carmelo et de terra Moab et vinum de torcularibus sustuli nequaquam calcator uvae solitum celeuma cantabit
And joy and gladness is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: they shall no more 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
Because of the cry from Heshbon, unto Elaleh, unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar unto Horonaim, [unto] Eglath-shelishijah: for even the waters of Nimrim shall become desolations.
35 et auferam de Moab ait Dominus offerentem in excelsis et sacrificantem diis eius
And I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth 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 shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres; because the abundance that he hath 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; upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 super omnia tecta Moab et in plateis eius omnis planctus quia contrivi Moab sicut vas inutile ait Dominus
It is wholly lamentation upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the public places thereof; for I have broken Moab, like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith 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
They howl, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! And Moab shall be a derision and a terror to all that are round about him.
40 haec dicit Dominus ecce quasi aquila evolabit et extendet alas suas ad Moab
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread forth his wings over Moab.
41 capta est Carioth et munitiones conprehensae sunt et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa sicut cor mulieris parturientis
Kerijoth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 et cessabit Moab esse populus quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah.
43 pavor et fovea et laqueus super te o habitator Moab ait Dominus
Fear, and the pit, and the snare shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith 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 that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon her, upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith 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
They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon powerless; for a fire hath come forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath consumed the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
46 vae tibi Moab peristi popule Chamos quia conprehensi sunt filii tui et filiae tuae in captivitatem
Woe to thee, Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away in captivity, and thy daughters are captives.
47 et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus ait Dominus hucusque iudicia Moab
But I will turn the captivity of Moab at the end of the days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
