Geremia 48

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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.	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:
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.	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.
3 Vox clamoris de Oronaim: “Vastitas et contritio magna”.	3 Listen! a cry from Horonaim of ruin and great destruction!
4 Contrita est Moab, auditum fecerunt clamorem usque ad Segor.	4 Moab is crushed, their outcry is heard in Zoar.
5 Per ascensum enim Luith plorans ascendit in fletu, quoniam in descensu Oronaim hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt:	5 The ascent of Luhith they climb weeping; On the descent to Horonaim the cry of destruction is heard.
6 “Fugite, salvate animas vestras et eritis quasi myricae in deserto”.	6 "Flee, save your lives, to survive like the wild ass in the desert!"
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.	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.
8 Et veniet praedo ad omnem urbem, et urbs nulla salvabitur; et peribit vallis, et dissipabuntur campestria, quoniam dixit Dominus.	8 The destroyer comes upon every city, not a city escapes; Ruined is the valley, wasted the plain, as the LORD has said.
9 Date pennas ad volandum; et civitates eius desertae erunt et inhabitabiles.	9 Set up a memorial for Moab, for it is an utter wasteland; Its cities are turned into ruins where no one dwells.
10 Maledictus, qui facit opus Domini neglegenter, et maledictus, qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.	10 (Cursed be he who does the LORD'S work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood.)
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.	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.
12 Propterea, ecce, dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et mittam ei stratores laguncularum; et sternent eum et vasa eius exhaurient et lagunculas eorum collident.	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.
13 Et confundetur Moab a Chamos, sicut confusa est domus Israel a Bethel, in quahabebat fiduciam.	13 Chemosh shall disappoint Moab, as Israel was disappointed by Bethel in which they trusted.
14 Quomodo dicitis: “Fortes sumus et viri robusti ad proeliandum”?	14 How can you say, "We are heroes, men valiant in war"?
15 Vastata est Moab, et ascenderunt civitates illius, et electi iuvenes eius descenderunt in occisionem, ait rex, Dominus exercituum nomen eius.	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.
16 Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat, et malum eius velociter accurret nimis.	16 Near at hand is Moab's ruin, his disaster hastens apace.
17 Lugete super eum, omnes, qui estis in circuitu eius; et universi, qui scitis nomen eius, dicite: “Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, baculus gloriosus?”.	17 Mourn for him, all you his neighbors, all you who knew him well! Say: How the strong staff is broken, the glorious rod!
18 Descende de gloria et sede in siti, habitatrix filia Dibon, quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te, dissipavit munitiones tuas.	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.
19 Ad viam sta et prospice, habitatrix Aroer; interroga fugientem et eam, quae evasit. Dic: “Quid accidit?”.	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?"
20 Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est. Ululate et clamate; annuntiate in Arnon, quoniam vastatus est Moab.	20 Moab is disgraced, yes, destroyed, howl and cry out; Publish it at the Arnon, Moab is ruined!
21 Et iudicium venit ad terram campestrem super Helon et super Iasa et superMephaath	21 For judgment has come on the land of the plateau: on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 et super Dibon et super Nabo et super Bethdeblathaim,	22 on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
23 et superCariathaim et super Bethgamul et super Bethmaon	23 on Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
24 et super Carioth et superBosra et super omnes civitates terrae Moab, quae longe et quae prope sunt.	24 on Kerioth and on Bozrah: on all the cities of Moab, far and near.
25 Abscissum est cornu Moab, et brachium eius contritum est, ait Dominus.	25 Moab's strength is broken, his might is shattered, says the LORD.
26 Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est; et allidet manum Moab invomitu suo, et erit in derisum etiam ipse.	26 Because he boasted against the LORD, make Moab drunk so that he retches and vomits, and he too becomes a laughingstock.
27 Nonne in derisum tibi fuit Israel?Num inter fures repertus est? Quotiescumque enim adversum illum loquebaris,caput movebas.	27 Is Israel a laughingstock to you? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head whenever you speak of her?
28 Relinquite civitates et habitate in petra, habitatores Moab, et estote quasi columba nidificans in parietibus apertae voraginis.	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.
29 Audivimus superbiam Moab, superbus est valde; sublimitatem eius et arrogantiam et superbiam et altitudinem cordis eius.	29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, pride beyond bounds: His loftiness, his pride, his scorn, his insolence of heart.
30 Ego scio, ait Dominus, iactantiam eius, et quod non sint rectae fabulationes,nec recta fecerint.	30 I know, says the LORD, his arrogance; liar in boast, liar in deed.
31 Ideo super Moab eiulabo et super Moab universam clamabo,super viros Cirhareseth plorabitur.	31 And so I wail over Moab, over all Moab I cry, over the men of Kir-heres I moan.
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.	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.
33 Ablata est laetitia et exsultatio de horto et de terra Moab, et vinum de torcularibus sustuli; nequaquam calcator uvae solitum celeuma cantabit.	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.
34 De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale et Iasa dederunt vocem suam, a Segor usque adOronaim, ad Eglatselisiam; aquae quoque Nemrim pessimae erunt.	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.
35 Et auferam deMoab, ait Dominus, offerentem in excelsis et sacrificantem diis eius.	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.
36 Propterea cor meum ad Moab quasi tibia resonabit, et cor meum ad virosCirhareseth dabit sonitum tibiarum; quia depositum, quod acquisierunt, periit.	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.
37 Omne enim caput calvitium et omnis barba rasa erit, in cunctis manibusincisiones et super lumbos cilicium.	37 Every head has been made bald, every beard shaved; every hand is gashed, and the loins of all are clothed in sackcloth.
38 Super omnia tecta Moab et in plateiseius omnis planctus, quoniam contrivi Moab sicut vas, quod nemini placet, aitDominus.	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.
39 Quomodo victa est, et ululaverunt? Quomodo vertit dorsum Moab etconfusus est? Eritque Moab in derisum et in terrorem omnibus in circuitu suo.	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!
40 Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce quasi aquila volabit et extendet alas suas ad Moab.	40 For thus says the LORD: Behold, like an eagle he soars, spreads his wings over Moab.
41 Capta sunt oppida, et munitiones comprehensae sunt, et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa sicut cor mulieris parturientis.	41 Cities are taken, strongholds seized: On that day the hearts of Moab's heroes are like the heart of a woman in travail.
42 Et cessabit Moab esse populus, quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.	42 Moab shall be destroyed, no more a people, because he boasted against the LORD.
43 Pavor et fovea et laqueus super te, o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.	43 Terror, pit, and trap be upon you, people of Moab, 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.	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.
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.	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.
46 Vae tibi, Moab! Periit populus Chamos, quia comprehensi sunt filii tui et filiae tuae in captivitatem.	46 Woe to you, O Moab, you are ruined, O people of Chemosh! Your sons are taken into exile, your daughters into captivity.
47 Et convertam sortem Moab in novissimis diebus ”, ait Dominus. Hucusque iudicia Moab.	47 But I will change the lot of Moab in the days to come, says the LORD. Thus far the judgment on Moab.
