Jeremías 48
1 ACERCA de Moab. Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: ¡Ay de Nebo! que fué destruída, fué avergonzada; Chîriathaim fué tomada; fué confusa Misgab, y desmayó.
To Moab, Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “Woe to Nebo, for it has been devastated. Kiriathaim has been humiliated and captured. Her fortress has been disgraced and crushed.
2 No se alabará ya más Moab; contra Hesbón maquinaron mal, [diciendo]: Venid, y quitémosla de entre las gentes. También tú, Madmén, serás cortada, espada irá tras ti.
The honor of Moab is no more. Their enemies in Heshbon plotted disaster against her. They said, 'Come and let us destroy her as a nation. Madmen will also perish—a sword will go after you.'
3 ¡Voz de clamor de Horonaim, destrucción y gran quebrantamiento!
Listen! A sound of screaming is coming from Horonaim, where there is ruin and great destruction.
4 Moab fué quebrantada; hicieron que se oyese el clamor de sus pequeños.
Moab has been destroyed. Her children have made their cries heard.
5 Porque á la subida de Luhith con lloro subirá el que llora; porque á la bajada de Horonaim los enemigos oyeron clamor de quebranto.
They go up the hill of Luhith weeping, for on the way down to Horonaim, screams are heard because of the destruction.
6 Huid, salvad vuestra vida, y sed como retama en el desierto.
Flee! Save your lives and become like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Pues por cuanto confiaste en tus haciendas, en tus tesoros, tú también serás tomada: y Chêmos saldrá en cautiverio, los sacerdotes y sus príncipes juntamente.
For because of your trust in your practices and your wealth, you also will be captured. Then Chemosh will go away into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
8 Y vendrá destruidor á cada una de las ciudades, y ninguna ciudad escapará: arruinaráse también el valle, y será destruída la campiña, como ha dicho Jehová.
For the destroyer will come to every city; no city will escape. So the valley will perish and the plain will be devastated, as Yahweh has said.
9 Dad alas á Moab, para que volando se vaya; pues serán desiertas sus ciudades hasta no quedar en ellas morador.
Give wings to Moab, for she must certainly fly away. Her cities will become a wasteland, where there is no one to live in them.
10 Maldito el que hiciere engañosamente la obra de Jehová, y maldito el que detuviere su cuchillo de la sangre.
May anyone who is lazy in doing Yahweh's work be cursed! May anyone who keeps his sword back from shedding blood be cursed!
11 Quieto estuvo Moab desde su mocedad, y sobre sus heces ha estado él reposado, y no fué trasegado de vaso en vaso, ni nunca fué en cautiverio: por tanto quedó su sabor en él, y su olor no se ha trocado.
Moab has felt secure since he was young. He is like his wine that has never been poured from pot to pot. He has never gone into captivity. Therefore he tastes as good as ever; his flavor remains unchanged.
12 Por eso, he aquí que vienen días, ha dicho Jehová, en que yo le enviaré trasportadores que lo harán trasportar; y vaciarán sus vasos, y romperán sus odres.
So see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will send him those who will tip him over and pour out all his pots and shatter his jars.
13 Y avergonzaráse Moab de Chêmos, á la manera que la casa de Israel se avergonzó de Beth-el, su confianza.
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their object of trust.
14 ¿Cómo diréis: Somos valientes, y robustos hombres para la guerra?
How can you say, 'We are soldiers, powerful fighting men'?
15 Destruído fué Moab, y sus ciudades asoló, y sus escogidos mancebos descendieron al degolladero, ha dicho el Rey, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos.
Moab will be devastated and its cities attacked. For its finest young men have gone down to the place of slaughter. This is the king's declaration! Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 Cercano está el quebrantamiento de Moab para venir, y su mal se apresura mucho.
Moab's disaster is soon to happen; calamity is hurrying quickly.
17 Compadeceos de él todos los que estáis alrededor suyo; y todos los que sabéis su nombre, decid: ¿Cómo se quebró la vara de fortaleza, el báculo de hermosura?
All you who are around Moab, wail; and all you who know its fame, shout this, 'Woe, the strong staff, the honored rod, has been broken.'
18 Desciende de la gloria, siéntate en seco, moradora hija de Dibón; porque el destruidor de Moab subió contra ti, disipó tus fortalezas.
Come down from your honored place and sit on the dry ground, you daughter living in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab is attacking you, the one who will destroy your strongholds.
19 Párate en el camino, y mira, oh moradora de Aroer: pregunta á la que va huyendo, y á la que escapó; dile: ¿Qué ha acontecido?
Stand on the road and watch, you people who live in Aroer. Ask the ones who are fleeing and escaping. Say, 'What has happened?'
20 Avergonzóse Moab, porque fué quebrantado: aullad y clamad: denunciad en Arnón que Moab es destruído.
Moab has been shamed, for it has been shattered. Howl and lament; shout for help. Tell it to people by the Arnon River that Moab has been devastated.
21 Y que vino juicio sobre la tierra de la campiña; sobre Holón, y sobre Jahzah, y sobre Mephaath,
Now punishment has come to the hill country, to Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 Y sobre Dibón, y sobre Nebo, y sobre Beth-diblathaim,
to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,
23 Y sobre Chîriathaim, y sobre Beth-gamul, y sobre Beth-meon,
to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,
24 Y sobre Chêrioth, y sobre Bosra, y sobre todas las ciudades de tierra de Moab, las de lejos y las de cerca.
To Kerioth and Bozrah, and to all the cities in the land of Moab— the farthest and the closest cities.
25 Cortado es el cuerno de Moab, y su brazo quebrantado, dice Jehová.
The horn of Moab has been hacked off; its arm has been broken—this is Yahweh's declaration.
26 Embriagadlo, porque contra Jehová se engrandeció; y revuélquese Moab sobre su vómito, y sea también él por escarnio.
Make him drunk, because he acted proudly against Yahweh. Let Moab wallow in his vomit, and let him be an object of ridicule.
27 ¿Y no te fué á ti Israel por escarnio, como si lo tomaran entre ladrones? porque desde que de él hablaste, tú te has movido.
For did not Israel become an object for laughter to you? Was he found among thieves, so that you shook your head at him as often as you spoke about him?
28 Desamparad las ciudades, y habitad en peñascos, oh moradores de Moab; y sed como la paloma que hace nido detrás de la boca de la caverna.
Abandon the cities and camp on the cliffs, inhabitants of Moab. Become like a dove that is nesting over the mouth of a hole in the rocks.
29 Oído hemos la soberbia de Moab, que es muy soberbio: su hinchazón y su orgullo, y su altivez y la altanería de su corazón.
We have heard of Moab's pride—his arrogance, his haughtiness, his pride, his self-glory and the conceit in his heart.
30 Yo conozco, dice Jehová, su cólera; mas no tendrá efecto: sus mentiras no han de aprovechar[le].
This is Yahweh's declaration—I myself know his defiant speech, which amounts to nothing, like his deeds.
31 Por tanto yo aullaré sobre Moab, y sobre todo Moab haré clamor, y sobre los hombres de Kir-heres gemiré.
So I will howl a lament for Moab, and I will shout in sorrow for all of Moab. I will lament for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32 Con lloro de Jazer lloraré por ti, oh vid de Sibma: tus sarmientos pasaron la mar, llegaron hasta la mar de Jazer: sobre tu agosto y sobre tu vendimia vino destruidor.
I will weep for you more than I did for Jazer, vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed across the Salt Sea and reached as far as Jazer. The destroyers have attacked your summer fruit and your wine.
33 Y será cortada la alegría y el regocijo de los campos labrados, y de la tierra de Moab: y haré cesar el vino de los lagares: no pisarán con canción; la canción no será canción.
So celebration and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruit trees and the land of Moab. I have put an end to the wine from their winepresses. They will not tread with joyful shouts. Any shouts will not be shouts of joy.
34 El clamor, desde Hesbón hasta Eleale; hasta Jaaz dieron su voz: desde Zoar hasta Horonaim, becerra de tres años: porque también las aguas de Nimrin serán destruídas.
From the shouts at Heshbon as far as Elealeh, their sound is heard at Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, since even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35 Y haré cesar de Moab, dice Jehová, quien sacrifique en altar, y quien ofrezca sahumerio á sus dioses.
For I will put an end to anyone in Moab who makes sacrifices on the high places and burns incense to his gods—this is Yahweh's declaration.
36 Por tanto, mi corazón resonará como flautas por causa de Moab, asimismo resonará mi corazón á modo de flautas por los hombres de Kir-heres: porque perecieron las riquezas que había hecho.
So my heart is lamenting for Moab like a flute. My heart is lamenting like flutes for the people of Kir Hareseth. The riches they gained are gone.
37 Porque en toda cabeza habrá calva, y toda barba será raída; sobre todas manos rasguños, y sacos sobre todos los lomos.
For every head is bald and every beard shaved. Incisions are on every hand, and sackcloth is around their waists.
38 Sobre todas las techumbres de Moab y en sus calles, todo él será llanto; porque yo quebranté á Moab como á vaso que no agrada, dice Jehová.
There is mourning everywhere, on every flat roof of Moab and in Moab's plazas. For I have destroyed Moab like pots that no one wants—this is Yahweh's declaration.
39 Aullad: ¡Cómo ha sido quebrantado! ¡cómo volvió la cerviz Moab, y fué avergonzado! Y fué Moab en escarnio y en espanto á todos los que están en sus alrededores.
How it has been shattered! How they howl in their lamenting! Moab turns its back in shame! So Moab will become an object of derision and a terror to all those who are around him.”
40 Porque así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que como águila volará, y extenderá sus alas á Moab.
For Yahweh says this, “See, the enemy will come flying like an eagle, spreading out his wings over Moab.
41 Tomadas son las ciudades, y tomadas son las fortalezas; y será aquel día el corazón de los valientes de Moab como el corazón de mujer en angustias.
Kerioth has been captured, and its strongholds have been seized. For in that day the hearts of Moab's soldiers will be like the hearts of women in birth labor.
42 Y Moab será destruído para dejar de ser pueblo: porque se engrandeció contra Jehová.
So Moab will be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he made himself to be great against Yahweh.
43 Miedo y hoyo y lazo sobre ti, oh morador de Moab, dice Jehová.
Terror and the pit, and a trap are coming on you, inhabitant of Moab—this is Yahweh's declaration.
44 El que huyere del miedo, caerá en el hoyo; y el que saliere del hoyo, será preso del lazo: porque yo traeré sobre él, sobre Moab, año de su visitación, dice Jehová.
Anyone who flees because of terror will fall into the pit, and anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap, for I will bring this on them in the year of my vengeance against them—this is Yahweh's declaration.
45 A la sombra de Hesbón se pararon los que huían de la fuerza; mas salió fuego de Hesbón, y llama de en medio de Sihón, y quemó el rincón de Moab, y la mollera de los hijos revoltosos.
The ones who flee will stand in the shadow of Heshbon without any strength, for fire will go out from Heshbon, flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the top of the heads of the boastful people.
46 ¡Ay de ti, Moab! pereció el pueblo de Chêmos: porque tus hijos fueron presos para cautividad, y tus hijas para cautiverio.
Woe to you, Moab! Chemosh's people are destroyed, For your sons are taken as captives and your daughters into captivity.
47 Empero haré tornar el cautiverio de Moab en lo postrero de los tiempos, dice Jehová. Hasta aquí es el juicio de Moab.
But I will restore the fortunes of Moab in later days—this is Yahweh's declaration.” The judgment on Moab ends here.
