Jeremias 48

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Contra Moab. - Eis o que diz o Senhor dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Ai de Nebo, porque chegou a sua ruína! Cariataim, tomada de assalto, cobriu-se de vergonha; a praça forte ficou em tumulto e desvairada.	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.
2 Findou-se a glória de Moab! Em Hesebon conspira-se contra ela: Vamos riscar esse povo do número das nações! E tu também, Madmen, serás reduzida ao silêncio, porque a espada te persegue.	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.
3 Gritos elevam-se de Oronaim: Devastação! Catástrofe!	3 A voice of clamor from Horonaim: devastation and great destruction!
4 Moab foi abatido; gritam seus filhinhos.	4 Moab has been crushed. Announce an outcry for her little ones.
5 Pela encosta de Luit chora-se; sobe-se em prantos, e pela descida de Oronaim ouvem-se clamores de angústia.	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.
6 Fugi! Salvai-vos! Sede qual zimbro no deserto!	6 Flee, save your lives! And you shall be like a saltcedar tree in the desert.
7 Porque puseste a confiança nos teus ídolos e nos teus tesouros, tu também serás tomada. E será levado para o exílio Camos com seus sacerdotes e chefes!	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.
8 Em todas as cidades penetrará o devastador; nenhuma será poupada. Será destruído o vale, e o planalto devastado, como disse o Senhor.	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.
9 Dai asas a Moab para que tome vôo, porque suas cidades transformar-se-ão em deserto.	9 Give a blossom to Moab. For it will depart when it is blossoming. And its cities will become desolate and uninhabited.
10 Maldito aquele que faz com negligência a obra do Senhor! Maldito o que recusa o sangue à sua espada!	10 Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully. And cursed is he who prohibits his sword from blood.
11 Desde a juventude, Moab vivia em paz, repousando sobre a borra, sem ser transvasada, nem exilada. Assim o sabor lhe ficou, e intato o aroma.	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.
12 Dias, porém, virão - oráculo do Senhor -, em que lhe enviarei transvasadores que o trasfegarão, esvaziando os tonéis e quebrando os odres.	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.
13 E Moab envergonhar-se-á de Camos, como Israel envergonhou-se de Betel que constituía sua esperança.	13 And Moab will be confounded by Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was shamed by Bethel, in which they had faith.
14 Como podeis dizer: Somos bravos, valentes guerreiros?	14 How can you say: ‘We are strong and robust men of battle?’
15 Moab está devastado; escalaram suas cidades. A flor de sua mocidade desce para a matança - oráculo do rei, cujo nome é Senhor dos exércitos.	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.
16 A ruína de Moab é iminente, aproxima-se-lhe a largos passos a desgraça.	16 The passing away of Moab draws near and arrives. Its evil will rush forward with great speed.
17 Chorai-a vós, seus vizinhos, e dizei vós, que lhe conheceis o nome: Como se partiu esse cetro poderoso, esse cetro cheio de glórias?	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?’
18 Desce de tua glória, assenta-te no solo ressecado, filha de Dibon, que moras {neste lugar}, porque o devastador de Moab sobe contra ti, para destruir tuas muralhas.	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.
19 Detém-te no caminho e espreita, habitante de Aroer; interroga o que foge e o que escapa, perguntando-lhes: O que aconteceu?	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?’
20 Moab em ruínas cobre-se de vergonha: gritai, gemei! Anuncia ao norte de Arnon que Moab foi destruído.	20 Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,
21 Foi o julgamento executado sobre a terra da planície, sobre Helon, Jasa, Mefaat,	21 and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
22 Dibon, Nebo e Bet-Deblataim;	22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,
23 sobre Cariataim, Bet-Gamul, Bet-Maon,	23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,
24 Cariot e Bosra, e sobre todas as cidades, próximas ou distantes da terra de Moab.	24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.
25 Foi abatido o poderio de Moab, partiu-se-lhe o braço - oráculo do Senhor.	25 The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, says the Lord.
26 Embriagai Moab, porque desafiou o Senhor. Debater-se-á no próprio vômito. E por sua vez tornar-se-á objeto de zombaria.	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.
27 Não era Israel alvo de teu escárnio? Foi ele surpreendido entre ladrões, para que, ao falar dele, sempre abanasses a cabeça?	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.
28 Abandonai as cidades para habitar os rochedos, habitantes de Moab, assim como faz a pomba que coloca o ninho na borda dos precipícios.	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.
29 Conhecemos o orgulho do soberbo Moab, sua altivez, sua jactância, seu orgulho e arrogância de coração.	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.
30 Conheço-lhe a presunção - oráculo do Senhor -, a jactância e a vaidade.	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.
31 Eis por que gemerei sobre Moab inteiro, e sobre ele lançarei gritos; choro o povo de Quir-Heres.	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.
32 Mais que sobre Jazer, choro sobre ti, vinha de Sabama; tuas vides se alongavam até o mar, atingindo o mar de Jazer; sobre tuas searas de vindimas lançou-se o devastador.	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.
33 Afastaram-se a alegria e o regozijo dos vergéis da terra de Moab; fiz com que secasse o vinho nos lagares; já não se amassam as uvas entre gritos de alegria, nem a canção é a mesma canção.	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.
34 O clamor de Hesebom sobe até Eleale, e a voz se estende até Jasa, e de Segor até Oronaim e Eglat-Selesia, porque as próprias águas de Ninrim secaram.	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.
35 Farei desaparecer de Moab - oráculo do Senhor -, aqueles que sobem aos lugares altos para incensar seus deuses.	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.
36 Por isso, meu coração por Moab geme, como geme a flauta; meu coração pelo povo de Quir-Heres geme, como geme a flauta. Eis a razão pela qual todo o proveito obtido se perdeu.	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.
37 Todas as cabeças foram rapadas, e cortadas as barbas. Foram golpeadas as mãos, e os rins cobertos de sacos.	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.
38 Sobre os tetos de Moab e em suas praças, só lamentos se ouvirão, porque despedacei Moab, qual vaso inútil - oráculo do Senhor.	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.
39 Tudo é ruína! Gemei! Quão vergonhoso é para Moab baixar assim a cerviz! Tornou-se Moab objeto de escarmento, e de pavor para todos os vizinhos!	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.”
40 Porquanto, assim diz o Senhor: o inimigo, como águia, toma vôo, estendendo as asas sobre Moab;	40 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, he will fly like the eagle, and he will extend his wings to Moab.
41 tomam-se-lhe as cidades, arrebatam-se-lhe as fortificações, e o coração dos guerreiros de Moab será naquele dia semelhante ao coração da mulher em parto.	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.
42 Moab foi riscado do número dos povos, porque desafiou o Senhor.	42 And Moab will cease to be a people. For he has been glorified against the Lord.
43 O terror, o fosso e o laço acercam-se de ti, ó moabita - oráculo do Senhor.	43 Terror and the pit and the snare will overwhelm you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the Lord.
44 Quem fugir do terror cairá no fosso, e o que escapar do fosso será apanhado no laço! Porque trarei sobre ele, sobre Moab, o ano do seu castigo - oráculo do Senhor.	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.
45 À sombra de Hesebon detiveram-se, extenuados, os fugitivos; de Hesebon, porém, jorrou um fogo, uma chama do meio do Seon, que devora os flancos de Moab e as cabeças dos filhos do tumulto.	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.
46 Desgraçado de ti, Moab! Chegou teu fim, povo de Camos! São arrastados teus filhos ao cativeiro, e tuas filhas, aprisionadas.	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.
47 Com o andar do tempo, porém - oráculo do Senhor -, mudarei a sorte de Moab. {Fim do julgamento acerca de Moab.}	47 But I will convert the captivity of Moab in the last days, says the Lord.” Such are the judgments of Moab thus far.
