Jeremiah 48

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 Against Moab, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe upon Nebo! For it has been devastated and confounded. Kiriathaim has been seized; the strong one has been confounded and has trembled.	1 Sobre Moab. Así dice Yahveh Sebaot, el Dios de Israel: ¡Ay de Nebo, porque ha sido saqueada! Está confusa, ha sido tomada Quiryatáyim. Está confusa la acrópolis y anonadada.
2 There is no longer any rejoicing in Moab over Heshbon. They have devised evil. ‘Come and let us destroy it as a nation.’ Then you will be utterly silenced, and the sword will pursue you.	2 Ya no existe la prez de Moab. En Jesbón han planeado su ruina: «Vamos y borrémosla de entre las naciones». También a ti, Madmén, se te hará callar. La espada te va a la zaga.
3 A voice of clamor from Horonaim: devastation and great destruction!	3 Gritos desde Joronáyim, devastación y quebranto grande.
4 Moab has been crushed. Announce an outcry for her little ones.	4 Quebrantada fue Moab. Hácense oír los gritos de sus pequeños.
5 For, along the ascent of Luhith, the mourner will ascend with weeping. For, on the descent of Horonaim, the enemies have heard the wailing of devastation.	5 La cuesta de Lujit, llorando se la suben, y a la bajada de Joronáyim gritos desgarrados se oyen.
6 Flee, save your lives! And you shall be like a saltcedar tree in the desert.	6 «Huid, poneos en salvo, haced como el onagro en el desierto».
7 For because you have had faith in your fortifications and in your storehouses, you too will be seized. And Chemosh will go into captivity: his priests and his leaders together.	7 En réplica a tu confianza en tus obras y tus tesoros, también tú eres tomada, y sale Kemós desterrado, sus sacerdotes y jefes a una,
8 And the despoiler will overwhelm every city, and not a single city will be saved. And the valleys will perish, and the fields will be destroyed. For the Lord has spoken.	8 Viene el devastador a todas las ciudades, y ni una ciudad se salva. Y se pierde el valle, y es asolada la meseta: tal ha dicho Yahveh.
9 Give a blossom to Moab. For it will depart when it is blossoming. And its cities will become desolate and uninhabited.	9 Dad alas, a Moab, porque ha de salir volando, y sus ciudades se volverán desolación sin nadie que las habite.
10 Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully. And cursed is he who prohibits his sword from blood.	10 (Maldito quien haga el trabajo de Yahveh con dejadez, y maldito el que prive a sus espada de sangre).
11 Moab has been fertile from his youth, and he has rested amid his brood. And he has not been transferred from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into the transmigration. Therefore, his taste has remained with him, and his scent has not changed.	11 Tranquilo estaba Moab desde su mocedad, y quieto se estaba en sus atalayas. Nunca fue trasegado, ni al destierro marchó. Por eso le duraba su gusto, y su sabor no se picó.
12 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will send to him those who will line up and knock down his bottles, and they will knock him down and empty his vessels, and they will break their bottles against one another.	12 Empero, he aquí que días vienen, - oráculo de Yahveh - en que yo le he de enviar decantadores que lo decanten. Sus vasijas vaciarán, y sus odres reventarán.
13 And Moab will be confounded by Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was shamed by Bethel, in which they had faith.	13 Se avergonzará Moab de Kemós, como se avergonzó la casa de Israel de Betel, en el que confiaba.
14 How can you say: ‘We are strong and robust men of battle?’	14 ¿Cómo decís: «Valientes somos, y hombres fuertes para la guerra»?
15 Moab has been devastated, and they have cut down her cities. And her elect young men have descended to slaughter. So says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.	15 Moab está devastado; han escalado sus ciudades, y la flor de sus mancebos bajaron a la matanza - oráculo del Rey cuyo nombre es Yahveh Sebaot.
16 The passing away of Moab draws near and arrives. Its evil will rush forward with great speed.	16 El infortunio de Moab es inminente, y su calamidad se precipita.
17 Console him, all you who surround him and all you who know his name. Say: ‘How has the strong staff become broken, the glorious staff?’	17 Lloradle, todos sus vecinos y todos los que conocen su nombradía. Decid: «¿Cómo ha sido quebrantada la vara poderosa, el báculo precioso?»
18 Descend from your glory, and sit in thirst, O habitation of the daughter of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has ascended to you; he has dissipated your fortifications.	18 Desciende del honor y siéntate en la tierra seca, población hija de Dibón, porque el devastador de Moab ha subido contra ti, ha destruido tus fortalezas.
19 Stand in the way, and gaze out, O habitation of Aroer! Question him who is fleeing, and say to him who has escaped: ‘What has happened?’	19 En el camino párate y otea, población de Aroer; pregunta al fugitivo y al escapado; di: «¿Qué ha sucedido?»
20 Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,	20 Confuso está Moab porque fue destruido. Ululad y clamad. Anunciad en el Arnón que ha sido saqueado Moab.
21 and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,	21 Y la sentencia ha llegado a la meseta, a Jolón, a Yahsá y a Mefaat,
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,	22 a Dibón, a Nebo y a Bet Diblatáyim,
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,	23 a Quiryatáyim, a Bet Gamul y a Bet Maón,
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.	24 a Queriyyot, a Bosrá y a todas las ciudades de la tierra de Moab, las lejanas y las cercanas.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, says the Lord.	25 «Se partió el cuerno de Moab y su brazo se rompió», - oráculo de Yahveh -.
26 Inebriate him, for he has lifted himself up against the Lord. And Moab will thrust his hand into his own vomit, and also now he himself will become a derision.	26 Emborrachadle porque contra Yahveh se engrandeció. Moab se revolcará en su vómito, y quedará en ridículo él también.
27 For Israel had been a derision to them. It was as if you had discovered him among thieves. Because of your own words, then, which you have spoken against him, you will be led away captive.	27 Pues qué, ¿no te pareció a ti ridículo Israel? ¿o quizá entre ladrones fue sorprendido, que siempre que hablas de él meneas la cabeza?
28 Relinquish the cities, and live upon a rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like a dove nesting at the mouth of an opening at the summit.	28 «Dejad las ciudades y acomodaos en la peña, habitantes de Moab, sed como la paloma cuando anida en las paredes de las simas..».
29 We have listened to the arrogance of Moab; he is very proud: his exaltation, and arrogance, and pride, and the loftiness of his heart.	29 Hemos oído la arrogancia de Moab: ¡es muy arrogante!, su orgullo, su arrogancia, su altanería y la soberbia de su corazón.
30 I myself know, says the Lord, his boasting, and that his ability is not in accord with it, nor is it in accord with what he has been striving to do.	30 Conozco - oráculo de Yahveh - su presunción, y que sus bravatas no son como sus hechos.
31 For this reason, I will wail over Moab, and I will cry out to all of Moab, to the men on the brick wall who are lamenting.	31 Así que, por Moab ulularé y por Moab entero gritaré; por los hombres de Quir Jeres suspiraré:
32 O vineyard of Sibmah, I will weep for you, with the mourning of Jazer. Your offshoots have crossed over the sea. They have reached even to the sea of Jazer. The despoiler has rushed over your harvest and your vintage.	32 Más que se lloró a Yazer lloraré por ti, ¡oh viña de Sibmá! Tus sarmientos pasaban la mar, hasta Yazer alcanzaban. Sobre tu cosecha y sobre tu vendimia el saqueador se abatió,
33 Rejoicing and exultation has been taken away from Carmel and from the land of Moab. And I have taken the wine from the winepresses. The treader of grapes will no longer sing the usual rhythmic chant.	33 y fue quitada alegría y alborozo de Carmelo y del país de Moab, y el vino a los trujales he quitado, no se oye el grito alegre del pisador, ya no se oyen gritos.
34 From the outcry of Heshbon, even to Elealeh and Jahzah, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar, even to Horonaim, like a three year old calf. So too, the waters of Nimrim will be very bad.	34 De tanto gritar en Jesbón, hasta Elalé, hasta Yahas llegaron las voces desde Soar hasta Joronáyim, - Eglat Selisiyyá -, porque también las aguas de Nimrim se han trocado en aridez.
35 And I will take away from Moab, says the Lord, the one who makes offerings in exalted places, and the one who sacrifices to his gods.	35 Quitaré a Moab - oráculo de Yahveh - de subirse al alto e incensar a sus dioses.
36 Because of this, my heart will resound for Moab, like the pipes, and my heart will make a sound like the pipes for the men on the brick wall. For he has done more than he was able, yet still they have perished.	36 Por eso mi corazón por Moab como flauta resuena, porque cuanto habían guardado se perdió,
37 For every head will be bald, and every beard will be shaved. All the hands will be bound together, and there will be haircloth on every back.	37 pues toda cabeza ha sido rapada y toda barba raída: en todas las manos arañazos y en todos los lomos saco,
38 Over all the rooftops of Moab, and in its streets, everyone will mourn. For I have crushed Moab like a useless vessel, says the Lord.	38 en todos los terrados de Moab y por sus calles todo el mundo se lamentaba, porque he quebrantado a Moab como vaso de desecho - oráculo de Yahveh -.
39 How was it conquered, so that they would wail? How is it that Moab has cast down his neck and been confounded? And Moab will be a derision and an example to everyone around him.”	39 ¡Cómo has sido destruida! ululad. ¡Cómo ha vuelto la espalda Moab con vergüenza, y ha venido a ser Moab la burla y el espanto de todos sus vecinos!
40 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, he will fly like the eagle, and he will extend his wings to Moab.	40 Porque así ha dicho Yahveh: (Ved cómo cual un águila se remonta y extiende sus alas sobre Moab.)
41 Kerioth has been captured, and the fortifications have been taken. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Moab will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.	41 Tomadas fueron las plazas, y las fortalezas ocupadas. (Vendrá a ser el corazón de los valientes de Moab en aquel día como corazón de mujer en parto.)
42 And Moab will cease to be a people. For he has been glorified against the Lord.	42 Devastado está Moab que ya no es pueblo, porque contra Yahveh se engrandeció.
43 Terror and the pit and the snare will overwhelm you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the Lord.	43 Pánico, hoya y trampa contra ti, morador de Moab, - oráculo de Yahveh.
44 Whoever flees from the terror will fall into the pit. And whoever climbs out of the pit will be seized by the snare. For I will lead over Moab the year of their visitation, says the Lord.	44 El que huya del pánico, caerá en la hoya y el que suba de la hoya será preso en la trampa, porque voy a hacer que se llegue a ella, a Moab, el año de su castigo - oráculo de Yahveh -.
45 Those fleeing from the snare stood in the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it will devour the portion of Moab, and the top of the head of the sons of tumult.	45 A la sombra de Jesbón se pararon sin fuerza los fugitivos, cuando fuego salió de Jesbón y llama de la casa de Sijón, y devoró las sienes de Moab y el cráneo de los hijos del ruido.
46 Woe to you, O Moab! You have been ruined, O people of Chemosh! For your sons and your daughters have been taken into captivity.	46 ¡Ay de ti Moab! Pereció el pueblo de Kemós, pues han sido tomados sus hijos en cautiverio y sus hijas en cautividad.
47 But I will convert the captivity of Moab in the last days, says the Lord.” Such are the judgments of Moab thus far.	47 Pero yo haré volverse a los cautivos de Moab en días futuros - oráculo de Yahveh -. Hasta aquí la sentencia de Moab.
