Jeremiah 48

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Concerning Moab, thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is disgraced and captured, Disgraced and overthrown is the stronghold:	1 Ad Moab. Haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: “ Vae super Nabo, quoniam vastata est et confusa! Capta est Cariathaim, confusa est arx et tremuit.
2 Moab's glory is no more. Evil they plan against Heshbon: "Come, let us put an end to her as a people." You, too, Madmen, shall be reduced to silence; behind you stalks the sword.	2 Non est ultra exsultatio in Moab; in Hesebon cogitaverunt malum contra eam: “Venite et disperdamus eam de gente”. Tu quoque, Madmen, conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
3 Listen! a cry from Horonaim of ruin and great destruction!	3 Vox clamoris de Oronaim: “Vastitas et contritio magna”.
4 Moab is crushed, their outcry is heard in Zoar.	4 Contrita est Moab, auditum fecerunt clamorem usque ad Segor.
5 The ascent of Luhith they climb weeping; On the descent to Horonaim the cry of destruction is heard.	5 Per ascensum enim Luith plorans ascendit in fletu, quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt:
6 "Flee, save your lives, to survive like the wild ass in the desert!"	6 “Fugite, salvate animas vestras et eritis quasi myricae in deserto”.
7 Because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be captured. Chemosh shall go into exile, his priests and princes with him.	7 Pro eo enim quod habuisti fiduciam in operibus tuis et in thesauris tuis, tu quoque capieris; et ibit Chamos in transmigrationem, sacerdotes eius et principes eius simul.
8 The destroyer comes upon every city, not a city escapes; Ruined is the valley, wasted the plain, as the LORD has said.	8 Et veniet praedo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur; et peribit vallis, et dissipabuntur campestria, quoniam dixit Dominus.
9 Set up a memorial for Moab, for it is an utter wasteland; Its cities are turned into ruins where no one dwells.	9 Date pennas ad volandum; et civitates eius desertae erunt et inhabitabiles.
10 (Cursed be he who does the LORD'S work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood.)	10 Maledictus, qui facit opus Domini neglegenter, et maledictus, qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
11 Moab has been tranquil from his youth, has rested upon his lees; He was not poured from one flask to another, he went not into exile. Thus he kept his taste, and his scent was not lost.	11 Securus fuit Moab ab adulescentia sua et requievit in faecibus 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 Hence, the days shall come, says the LORD, when I will send him coopers to turn him over; they shall empty his flasks and break his jars.	12 Propterea, ecce, dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et mittam ei stratores laguncularum; et sternent eum et vasa eius exhaurient et lagunculas eorum collident.
13 Chemosh shall disappoint Moab, as Israel was disappointed by Bethel in which they trusted.	13 Et confundetur Moab a Chamos, sicut confusa est domus Israel a Bethel, in quahabebat fiduciam.
14 How can you say, "We are heroes, men valiant in war"?	14 Quomodo dicitis: “Fortes sumus et viri robusti ad proeliandum”?
15 The ravager of Moab and his cities advances, the flower of his youth goes down to be slaughtered, says the King, the LORD of hosts by name.	15 Vastata est Moab, et ascenderunt civitates illius, et electi iuvenes eius descenderunt in occisionem, ait rex, Dominus exercituum nomen eius.
16 Near at hand is Moab's ruin, his disaster hastens apace.	16 Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat, et malum eius velociter accurret nimis.
17 Mourn for him, all you his neighbors, all you who knew him well! Say: How the strong staff is broken, the glorious rod!	17 Lugete super eum, omnes, qui estis in circuitu eius; et universi, qui scitis nomen eius, dicite: “Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?”.
18 Come down from glory, sit on the ground, you that dwell in Dibon; Moab's ravager has come up against you, he has ruined your strongholds.	18 Descende de gloria et sede in siti, habitatrix filia Dibon, quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te, dissipavit munitiones tuas.
19 Stand by the wayside, watch closely, you that dwell in Aroer; Ask the man who flees, the woman who tries to escape: say to them, "What has happened?"	19 Ad viam sta et prospice, habitatrix Aroer; interroga fugientem et eam, quae evasit. Dic: “Quid accidit?”.
20 Moab is disgraced, yes, destroyed, howl and cry out; Publish it at the Arnon, Moab is ruined!	20 Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est. Ululate et clamate; annuntiate in Arnon, quoniam vastatus est Moab.
21 For judgment has come on the land of the plateau: on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,	21 Et iudicium venit ad terram campestrem super Helon et super Iasa et superMephaath
22 on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,	22 et super Dibon et super Nabo et super Bethdeblathaim,
23 on Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,	23 et superCariathaim et super Bethgamul et super Bethmaon
24 on Kerioth and on Bozrah: on all the cities of Moab, far and near.	24 et super Carioth et superBosra et super omnes civitates terrae Moab, quae longe et quae prope sunt.
25 Moab's strength is broken, his might is shattered, says the LORD.	25 Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium eius contritum est, ait Dominus.
26 Because he boasted against the LORD, make Moab drunk so that he retches and vomits, and he too becomes a laughingstock.	26 Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est; et allidet manum Moab invomitu suo, et erit in derisum etiam ipse.
27 Is Israel a laughingstock to you? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head whenever you speak of her?	27 Nonne in derisum tibi fuit Israel?Num inter fures repertus est? Quotiescumque enim adversum illum loquebaris,caput movebas.
28 Leave the cities, dwell in the crags, you that dwell in Moab. Be like a dove that nests out of reach on the edge of a chasm.	28 Relinquite civitates et habitate in petra, habitatores Moab, et estote quasi columba nidificans in parietibus apertae voraginis.
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, pride beyond bounds: His loftiness, his pride, his scorn, his insolence of heart.	29 Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde; sublimitatem eius et arrogantiam et superbiam et altitudinem cordis eius.
30 I know, says the LORD, his arrogance; liar in boast, liar in deed.	30 Ego scio, ait Dominus, iactantiam eius, et quod non sint rectae fabulationes,nec recta fecerint.
31 And so I wail over Moab, over all Moab I cry, over the men of Kir-heres I moan.	31 Ideo super Moab eiulabo et super Moab universam clamabo,super viros Cirhareseth plorabitur.
32 More than for Jazer I weep over you, vineyard of Sibmah. Your tendrils trailed down to the sea, as far as Jazer they stretched. Upon your harvest, upon your vintage, the ravager has fallen.	32 Plus quam in planctu Iazer plorabo tibi, vinea Sabama; propagines tuae transierunt mare, usque ad Iazer pervenerunt. Super messem tuam et vindemiam tuam praedo irruit.
33 Joy and jubilation are at an end in the fruit gardens of the land of Moab. I drain the wine from the wine vats, the treader treads no more, the vintage shout is stilled.	33 Ablata est laetitia et exsultatio de horto et de terra Moab, et vinum de torcularibus sustuli; nequaquam calcator uvae solitum celeuma cantabit.
34 The cry of Heshbon and Elealeh is heard as far as Jahaz; they call from Zoar to Horonaim, and to Eglath-shelishiyah, for even the waters of Nimrim turn into a desert.	34 De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale et Iasa dederunt vocem suam, a Segor usque adOronaim, ad Eglatselisiam; aquae quoque Nemrim pessimae erunt.
35 I will leave no one in Moab, says the LORD, to offer a holocaust on the high place, or to burn incense to his gods.	35 Et auferam deMoab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis et sacrificantem diis eius.
36 Hence the wail of flutes for Moab is in my heart; for the men of Kir-heres the wail of flutes is in my heart: the wealth they acquired has perished.	36 Propterea cor meum ad Moab quasi tibia resonabit, et cor meum ad virosCirhareseth dabit sonitum tibiarum; quia depositum, quod acquisierunt, periit.
37 Every head has been made bald, every beard shaved; every hand is gashed, and the loins of all are clothed in sackcloth.	37 Omne enim caput calvitium et omnis barba rasa erit, in cunctis manibusincisiones et super lumbos cilicium.
38 On every roof of Moab and in all his squares there is mourning; I have shattered Moab like a pot that no one wants, says the LORD.	38 Super omnia tecta Moab et in plateiseius omnis planctus, quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas, quod nemini placet, aitDominus.
39 How terror seizes Moab, and wailing! How he turns his back in shame! Moab has become a laughingstock and a horror to all his neighbors!	39 Quomodo victa est, et ululaverunt? Quomodo vertit dorsum Moab etconfusus est? Eritque Moab in derisum et in terrorem omnibus in circuitu suo.
40 For thus says the LORD: Behold, like an eagle he soars, spreads his wings over Moab.	40 Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
41 Cities are taken, strongholds seized: On that day the hearts of Moab's heroes are like the heart of a woman in travail.	41 Capta sunt oppida, et munitiones comprehensae sunt, et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa sicut cor mulieris parturientis.
42 Moab shall be destroyed, no more a people, because he boasted against the LORD.	42 Et cessabit Moab esse populus, quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
43 Terror, pit, and trap be upon you, people of Moab, says the LORD.	43 Pavor et fovea et laqueus super te, o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
44 He who flees from the terror falls into the pit; He who climbs from the pit is caught in the trap; For I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their punishment, says the LORD.	44 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 In Heshbon's shadow stop short the exhausted refugees; For fire breaks forth from Heshbon, and a blaze from the house of Sihon: It consumes the brow of Moab, the skull of the noisemakers.	45 In umbra Hesebon steterunt sine viribus fugientes, sed ignis egressus est de Hesebon, et flamma de medio Sehon, et devoravit tempora Moab et verticem filiorum tumultus.
46 Woe to you, O Moab, you are ruined, O people of Chemosh! Your sons are taken into exile, your daughters into captivity.	46 Vae tibi, Moab! Periit populus Chamos, quia comprehensi sunt filii tui et filiae tuae in captivitatem.
47 But I will change the lot of Moab in the days to come, says the LORD. Thus far the judgment on Moab.	47 Et convertam sortem Moab in novissimis diebus ”, ait Dominus. Hucusque iudicia Moab.
