Geremia 49

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ad filios Ammon. Haec dicit Dominus: “ Numquid filii non sunt Israel, aut heres non est ei? Cur igitur hereditate possedit Melchom Gad, et populus eius in urbibus eius habitavit?	1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus says the LORD: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? Why then has Milcom disinherited Gad, why have his people settled in Gad's cities?
2 Ideo ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, et auditum faciam super Rabba filiorum Ammon fremitum proelii; et erit in tumulum dissipata, filiaeque eius igni succendentur, et possidebit Israel possessores suos, ait Dominus.	2 But the days are coming, says the LORD, when against Rabbah of the Ammonites I will sound the battle alarm; She shall become a mound of ruins, and her daughter cities shall be destroyed by fire. Israel shall inherit those who disinherited her, says the LORD.
3 Ulula, Hesebon, quoniam vastata es, ut sis in acervum lapidum; clamate, filiae Rabba, accingite vos ciliciis, plangite et circuite per muros, quoniam Melchom in transmigrationem ducetur, sacerdotes eius et principes eius simul.	3 Howl, Heshbon, for the ravager approaches, shriek, daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn, run to and fro, gashing yourselves; For Milcom goes into exile along with his priests and captains.
4 Quid gloriaris in vallibus? Copiose fluxit vallis tua, filia rebellis, quae confidebas in thesauris tuis et dicebas: “Quis veniet ad me?”.	4 Why do you glory in your strength, your ebbing strength, rebellious daughter? You who trust in your treasures, saying, "Who can come against me?"
5 Ecce ego inducam super te terrorem, ait Dominus, Deus exercituum, ab omnibus, qui sunt in circuitu tuo; et dispergemini singuli in viam suam, nec erit qui congreget fugientes.	5 I am bringing terror upon you, says the Lord GOD of hosts, from all round about you; You shall be scattered, each man in headlong flight, with no one to rally the fugitives.
6 Et post haec convertam sortem filiorum Ammon ”, ait Dominus.	6 But afterward I will change the lot of the Ammonites, says the LORD.
7 Ad Edom. Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: “ Numquid non ultra est sapientia in Theman? Periit consilium a prudentibus, inutilis facta est sapientia eorum.	7 Concerning Edom, thus says the LORD of hosts: Is there no more wisdom in Teman, has counsel perished from the prudent, has their wisdom become corrupt?
8 Fugite, terga vertite, descendite in voraginem, habitatores Dedan, quoniam perditionem Esau adduxi super eum, tempore quo visitavi eum.	8 Flee, retreat, hide in deep holes, you who live in Dedan: For I will bring destruction upon Esau when I come to punish him.
9 Si vindemiatores veniunt super te, non relinquent racemum; si fures in nocte, diripiunt, quod placet sibi.	9 If vintagers came upon you, they would leave no gleanings; If thieves by night, they would destroy as they pleased.
10 Ego vero discooperui Esau, revelavi abscondita eius, et celari non poterit; vastatum est semen eius et fratres eius et vicini eius, et non erit.	10 So I myself will strip Esau; I will uncover his retreats so that he cannot hide. He is ruined: sons, and brothers, and neighbors, so that he is no more.
11 Relinque pupillos tuos, ego faciam eos vivere; et viduae tuae in me sperabunt.	11 Leave your orphans behind, I will keep them alive; your widows, let them trust in me.
12 Quia haec dicit Dominus: Ecce quibus non erat iudicium, ut biberent calicem,bibentes bibent; et tu quasi innocens relinqueris? Non eris innocens, sed bibensbibes.	12 For thus says the LORD: Even those not sentenced to drink the cup must drink it! Shall you then go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished; you shall surely drink it.
13 Quia per memetipsum iuravi, dicit Dominus, quod in solitudinem et inopprobrium et in desertum et in maledictionem erit Bosra; et omnes civitateseius erunt in solitudines sempiternas ”.	13 By my own self I have sworn, says the LORD: Bozrah shall become an object of horror and a disgrace, a desolation and a curse; she and all her cities shall become ruins forever.
14 Auditum audivi a Domino, et legatus ad gentes missus est: “ Congregamini et venite contra eam et consurgite in proelium ”.	14 I have heard a report from the LORD, a herald has been sent among the nations: Gather together, move against her, rise up for battle.
15 “ Ecce enim parvulum dedi te in gentibus, contemptibilem inter homines.	15 Small will I make you among the nations, despised among men!
16 Arrogantia tua decepit te, et superbia cordis tui, qui habitas in cavernis petrae et tenes altitudinem collis; cum exaltaveris quasi aquila nidum tuum, inde detraham te, dicit Dominus.	16 The terror you spread beguiled you, and your presumption of heart; You that live in rocky crags, that hold the heights of the hill: Though you build your nest high as the eagle, from there I will drag you down, says the LORD.
17 Et erit Edom in desolationem: omnis, qui transibit per eam, stupebit etsibilabit super omnes plagas eius.	17 Edom shall become an object of horror. Every passer-by shall be appalled and catch his breath at all her wounds.
18 Sicut subversa est Sodoma et Gomorra etvicinae eius, ait Dominus, non habitabit ibi vir, et non peregrinabitur in eafilius hominis.	18 As when Sodom, Gomorrah, and their neighbors were overthrown, says the LORD, not a man shall dwell there: no one shall visit there.
19 Ecce quasi leo ascendet de silva condensa Iordanis ad pratasemper virentia, quia subito currere faciam eos ex illa; et, qui erit electus,illum praeponam ei. Quis enim similis mei? Et quis vocabit me in iudicium? Etquis est iste pastor, qui resistat vultui meo?	19 As when a lion comes up from the thicket of Jordan to the permanent feeding grounds, So I, in an instant, will drive men off; and whom I choose I will establish there! For who is like me? who can call me to account? What shepherd can stand against me?
20 Propterea audite consiliumDomini, quod iniit de Edom, et cogitationes eius, quas cogitavit dehabitatoribus Theman: Certe abstrahent parvulos gregis, certe desolabuntur super eos pascua eorum.	20 Therefore, hear the counsel of the LORD, which he has taken against Edom; Hear the plans he has made against those that live in Teman: They shall be dragged away, even the smallest sheep, their own pasture shall be aghast because of them.
21 A voce ruinae eorum commota est terra, clamor in mari Rubro auditus est ocis eius.	21 At the noise of their fall the earth quakes, to the Red Sea the outcry is heard!
22 Ecce quasi aquila ascendet et volabit et expandet alas suas super Bosram; et erit cor fortium Edom in die illa quasi cor mulieris parturientis ”.	22 See! like an eagle he soars aloft, and spreads his wings over Bozrah; On that day the hearts of Edom's heroes shall be like the heart of a woman in travail.Concerning Damascus:
23 Ad Damascum. “ Confusa est Emath et Arphad, quia auditum pessimum audierunt; turbati sunt in mari sollicitudinis, quod quiescere non potuit.	23 Hamath and Arpad are covered with shame, they have heard bad news; Worried, they toss like the sea which cannot rest.
24 Dissoluta est Damascus, versa in fugam; tremor apprehendit eam, angustia et dolores tenuerunt eam quasi parturientem.	24 Damascus is weakened, she turns to flee, panic has seized her. Distress and pangs take hold of her, like those of a woman in travail.
25 Quomodo non erit derelicta civitas laudabilis, urbs laetitiae?	25 How can the city of glory be forsaken, the town of delight!
26 Ideo cadent iuvenes eius in plateis eius, et omnes viri proelii conticescent in die illa, ait Dominus exercituum.	26 But now her young men shall fall in her streets, and all her warriors shall be stilled. On that day, says the LORD of hosts,
27 Et succendam ignem in muro Damasci, et devorabit moenia Benadad ”.	27 I will set fire to the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
28 Ad Cedar et ad regna Asor, quae percussit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis. Haec dicit Dominus: “ Surgite, ascendite ad Cedar et vastate filios orientis.	28 Of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, defeated by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, thus says the LORD: Rise up, attack Kedar, ravage the Easterners.
29 Tabernacula eorum et greges eorum capient; tentoria eorum et omnia vasa eorum et camelos eorum tollent sibi; et vocabunt super eos formidinem in circuitu.	29 Their tents and herds shall be taken away, their tent curtains and all their goods; Their camels they shall carry off for themselves, and shout from upon them, "Terror on every side!"
30 Fugite, abite vehementer, in voraginibus sedete, qui habitatis Asor, ait Dominus; iniit enim contra vos Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis consilium et cogitavit adversum vos cogitationes.	30 Flee! leave your homes, hide in deep holes, you that live in Hazor, says the LORD; For counsel has been taken against you, a plan has been formed against you (Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon).
31 Consurgite, et ascendite ad gentem quietam et habitantem confidenter, ait Dominus; non ostia nec vectes eis: soli habitant.	31 Rise up! set out against a nation that is at peace, that lives secure, says the LORD, That has no gates or bars, and dwells alone.
32 Et erunt cameli eorum in direptionem, et multitudo iumentorum in praedam; et dispergam eos in omnem ventum, qui sunt attonsi in comam, et ex omni confinio eorum adducam interitum super eos, ait Dominus.	32 Their camels shall be your booty, their many herds your spoil; I will scatter to the winds those who shave their temples, from all sides I will bring ruin upon them, says the LORD.
33 Et erit Asor in habitaculum thoum, deserta usque in aeternum; non manebit ibi vir, nec peregrinabitur in ea filius hominis ”.	33 Hazor shall become a haunt of jackals, a desert forever, Where no man lives, no human being stays.
34 Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam super Elam, in principioregni Sedeciae regis Iudae, dicens:	34 The following word of the LORD against Elam came to the prophet Jeremiah at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah:
35 “ Haec dicit Dominus exercituum: Ecce ego confringam arcum Elam, summam fortitudinem eorum;	35 Thus says the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might.
36 et inducam super Elam quattuor ventos a quattuor plagis caeli, et ventilabo eos in omnes ventos istos, et non erit gens, ad quam non perveniant profugi Elam.	36 I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four ends of the heavens: I will scatter them to all these winds, till there is no nation to which the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 Et pavere faciam Elam coram inimicis suis et in conspectu quaerentium animam eorum; et adducam super eos malum iram furoris mei, dicit Dominus, et mittam post eos gladium, donec consumam eos.	37 I will break Elam before their foes, before those who seek their life; I will bring evil upon them, my burning wrath, says the LORD. I will send the sword to pursue them until I have completely made an end of them;
38 Et ponam solium meum in Elam et perdam inde regem et principes, ait Dominus.	38 My throne I will set up in Elam and destroy from there king and princes, says the LORD.
39 In novissimis autem diebus convertam sortem Elam ”, dicit Dominus.	39 But in the days to come I will change the lot of Elam, says the LORD.
