48 — Jeremias

1Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Woe to Nabo, for it is laid waste, and confounded: Cariathaim is taken: the strong city is confounded and hath trembled.Contro di Moab così parla il Signore degli eserciti, il Dio d'Israele: Guai a Nabo; perocché ella è devastata, ed umiliata: Cariathiarim è stata espugnata: la forte è confusa, e in tremito.TO Moab thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel: Woe vpon Nabo, because it is wasted, and confounded: Cariathaim is taken: the strong one is confounded, and hath trembled.Ad Moab. Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: / Væ super Nabo, quoniam vastata est, et confusa ! / capta est Cariathaim, confusa est fortis, et tremuit. 2There is no more rejoicing in Moab over Hesebon: they have devised evil. Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Therefore shalt thou in silence hold thy peace, and the sword shall follow thee.Non v'è più allegrezza in Moab: han formati cattivi disegni contro di Hesebon: Venite, distruggiamola, che non sia più tralle genti. Tu adunque starai in silenzio, e la spada ti sarà alle spalle.There is no more reioycing in Moab: against Hesebon they haue thought euil. Come, and let vs destroy it from being a nation. therefore shalt thou in silence hold thy peace, and the sword shal folow thee.Non est ultra exsultatio in Moab contra Hesebon: / cogitaverunt malum: Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. / Ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius. 3A voice of crying from Oronaim: waste, and great destruction.Strepiti, e strida da Oronaim: devastamento, e strage grande.The voice of a crie from Oronaim: waste, and great destruction.Vox clamoris de Oronaim, vastitas et contritio magna. 4Moab is destroyed: proclaim a cry for her little ones.Moab è abbattuta: annunziate a' suoi pargoletti, ch'ei strideranno.Moab is destroyed: proclaime a crie to her children.Contrita est Moab: annuntiate clamorem parvulis ejus. 5For by the ascent of Luith shall the mourner go up with weeping: for in the descent of Oronaim the enemies have heard a howling of destruction.Ella salirà il colle di Luith tra pianti continui: i nemici hanno udito nella calata di Oronaim le urla de' miserabili:For by the ascent of Luith shal the mourner goe vp in weeping: because in the descent of Oronaim the enemies haue heard the howling of destruction:Per ascensum enim Luith / plorans ascendet in fletu, / quoniam in descensu Oronaim / hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt. 6Flee, save your lives: and be as heath in the wilderness.Fuggite, salvate le vostre vite, siate come il tamarisco nel deserto.Flee, saue your liues: and you shal be as heath in the desert.Fugite, salvate animas vestras, / et eritis quasi myricæ in deserto:

7For because thou hast trusted in thy bulwarks, and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.Conciossiachè per aver tu avuta fidanza nelle tue forze, e ne' tuoi tesori, tu pur sarai presa: e muterà paese Chamos, e i suoi sacerdoti, e i suoi principi insieme.For that thou hast had confidence in thy munitions, and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chamos shal goe into transmigration, his priests, and his princes together.pro eo enim quod habuisti fiduciam / in munitionibus tuis et in thesauris tuis, / tu quoque capieris: / et ibit Chamos in transmigrationem, / sacerdotes ejus et principes ejus simul. 8And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: and the valleys shall perish, and the plains shall be destroyed, for the Lord hath spoken:E a tutte le città si accosterà il ladrone, e nissuna città rimarrà salva: e saran desolate le valli, e minate le campagne; perocché il Signore lo ha detto:And the spoyler shal come to euerie citie, and no citie shal be saued: and the valleys shal perish, and the champaine countries shal be destroyed: because our Lord hath said:Et veniet prædo ad omnem urbem, / et urbs nulla salvabitur: / et peribunt valles, / et dissipabuntur campestria, / quoniam dixit Dominus: 9Give a flower to Moab, for in its flower it shall go out: and the cities thereof shall be desolate, and uninhabited.Coronate Moab di fiori; perocché coronata ella muterà paese, e le sue cittadi saran deserte, e inabitabili.Geue ye the floure to Moab, because florishing it shal goe out: and her cities shal be desolate, & inhabitable.Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur: / et civitates ejus desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles. 10Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord deceitfully: and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood.Maledetto chi fa l'opera del Signore con mala fede, e maledetto colui, che rattiene la spada di lui dallo spargere il sangue.Cursed be he that doeth the worke of our Lord fraudulently: and cursed that stayeth his sword from bloud.Maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter, / et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine. 11Moab hath been fruitful from his youth, and hath rested upon his lees: and hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, nor hath gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed.Moab fin dalla sua adolescenza fu fertile, e riposò sulla sua fondata; e non fu trasfuso d'uno in altro vaso, egli non ha mutato paese; per questo il suo sapore si è conservato, e non è alterato il suo odore.Moab hath bene fruitful from his youth, and hath rested in his dregges: neither hath he bene powred out of vessel into vessel, and hath not gone into transmigration: therefore hath his taste remained in him, and his sauour is not changed.Fertilis fuit Moab ab adolescentia sua, / et requievit in fæcibus suis: / nec transfusus est de vase in vas, / et in transmigrationem non abiit: / idcirco permansit gustus ejus in eo, / et odor ejus non est immutatus.

12Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send him men that shall order and overturn his bottles, and they shall cast him down, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles one against another.Ecco però che viene il tempo, dice il Signore, quand'io manderò a lui uomini pratici nel disporre i vasi, e nel mutare il vino, e faranno la muta, e vuoteranno i vasi, e li spezzeranno.Therefore behold the daies come, saith our Lord: and I wil send vnto him those that shal order and dispose of his pottes, and they shal ouerthrow him, and shal emptie his vessels, and dash their pottes one against an other.Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus, / et mittam ei ordinatores et stratores laguncularum: / et sternent eum, et vasa ejus exhaurient, / et lagunculas eorum collident. 13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, in which they trusted.E Moab sarà confuso per ragion di Chamos, come la casa d'Israele è, stata confusa a causa di Bethel, in cui avea speranza.And Moab shal be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, wherein it had confidence.Et confundetur Moab a Chamos / sicut confusa est domus Israël a Bethel, / in qua habebat fiduciam. 14How do you say: We are valiant and stout men in battle?Come mai dite voi: Noi siamo forti, e valorosi a combattere?How say ye: We are valiant, and strong men to fight?Quomodo dicitis: Fortes sumus, / et viri robusti ad præliandum ? 15Moab is laid waste, and they have cast down her cities: and her choice young men are gone down to the slaughter: saith the king, whose name is the Lord of hosts.Il paese di Moab è devastato, e son ite in fumo le sue città: e la scelta sua gioventù è andata al macello, dice il Re, che si noma il Signor degli eserciti.Moab is wasted, & her cities they haue cast downe: and her chosen yongmen are gone downe into slaughter: saith the king, the Lord of hostes is his name.Vastata est Moab, et civitates illius succiderunt, / et electi juvenes ejus descenderunt in occisionem, ait Rex: / Dominus exercituum nomen ejus. 16The destruction of Moab is near to come: the calamity thereof shall come on exceeding swiftly.La perdizione di Moab è imminente: e le sue sciagure verranno con somma celerità.The destruction of Moab is nigh to come: the euil thereof shal come exceeding swiftly.Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat, / et malum ejus velociter accurret nimis. 17Comfort him, all you that are round about him, and all you that know his name, say: How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod?Consolatelo tutti voi, che intorno a lui dimorate: e voi, che avete di lui conoscenza, dite: Come mai è stato spezzato lo scettro forte, il bastone di gloria?Comfort him al ye that are round about him, and al you that know his name, say: How is the strong rod broken, the glorious staffe?Consolamini eum, omnes qui estis in circuitu ejus: / et universi qui scitis nomen ejus, dicite: / Quomodo confracta est virga fortis, / baculus gloriosus ?

18Come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, O dwelling of the daughter of Dibon: because the spoiler of Moab is come up to thee, he hath destroyed thy bulwarks.Scendi dalla tua gloria, e siedi in arido sito, o figlia abitatrice di Dibon: perocché lo sterminatore di Moab sen viene a te, e abbatterà tue difese.Come downe from thy glorie, and sit in drought ô habitation of the daughter of Dibon: because the waster of Moab shal come vp to thee, he shal destroy thy munitions.Descende de gloria, et sede in siti, / habitatio filiæ Dibon, / quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te: / dissipavit munitiones tuas. 19Stand in the way, and look out, O habitation of Aroer: inquire of him that fleeth: and say to him that hath escaped: What is done?Stattene sulla strada, e fa l'ascolta, o abitatrice di Aroer: domanda al fuggitivo, e a colui, che ha avuto scampo, dì: Che è egli stato?Stand in the way, and looke ô habitation of Aroer: aske of him that fleeth: and say to him that hath escaped: What is chanced?In via sta, et prospice, / habitatio Aroër: / interroga fugientem, / et ei qui evasit dic: Quid accidit ? 20Moab is confounded, because he is overthrown: howl ye, and cry, tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is wasted.Moab è confuso, perchè è stato vinto: urlate, alzate le strida, fate sapere lungo l'Arnon, che Moab è devastata.Moab is confounded, because he is ouercome: howle ye, and crie, declare in Arnon, that Moab is wasted.Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est. / Ululate, et clamate: / annuntiate in Arnon, / quoniam vastata est Moab, 21And judgment is come upon the plain country: upon Helon, and upon Jasa, and upon Mephaath.E la vendetta è venuta sulla terra campestre, sopra Helon, e sopra Jasa, e sopra Mephaath,And iudgement is come to the champaine countrie: vpon Helon, and vpon Iasa, and vpon Mephaath,et judicium venit ad terram campestrem, / super Helon, et super Jasa, / et super Mephaath, 22And upon Dibon, and upon Nabo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,E sopra Dibon, e sopra Nabo, e sopra la casa di Deblathaim,and vpon Dibon, and vpon Nabo, & vpon the house of Deblathaim,et super Dibon, / et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim, 23And upon Cariathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmaon,E sopra Cariathaim, e sopra Bethgamul, e sopra Bethmaon,and vpon Cariathaim, and vpon Bethgamul, and vpon Bethmaon,et super Cariathaim, et super Bethgamul, / et super Bethmaon, 24And upon Carioth, and upon Bosra: and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.E sopra Carioth, e sopra Bosra; e sopra tutte le città del paese di Moab, le rimote, e le vicine.. and vpon Carioth, and vpon Bosra: and vpon al the cities of the Land of Moab, that are far, and neere.et super Carioth, / et super Bosra, et super omnes civitates terræ Moab, / quæ longe et quæ prope sunt.

25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.E stato troncato il corno di Moab, e spezzato il suo braccio, dice il Signore.The horne of Moab is cut of, and his arme is broken, saith our Lord.Abscissum est cornu Moab, / et brachium ejus contritum est, ait Dominus. 26Make him drunk, because he lifted up himself against the Lord: and Moab shall dash his hand in his own vomit, and he also shall be in derision.Inebriatelo, perchè egli si è inalberato contro il Signore, e vomiti, e sbatta le mani, e sia egli pure oggetto di scherno.Make him drunken, because he is erected against our Lord: and Moab shal wring his hand in his vomiting, and him self also shal be in derision.Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est: / et allidet manum Moab in vomitu suo, / et erit in derisum etiam ipse. 27For Israel hath been a derision unto them: as though thou hadst found him amongst thieves: for thy words therefore, which thou hast spoken against him, thou shalt be led away captive.Imperocché tu schernisti Israele, come se lo avessi sorpreso in compagnia di ladri: a motivo adunque delle parole, che hai detto contro di lui, sarai tu menato in ischiavitù.For Israel hath bene in derision vnto thee: as though thou hadst found him amongst theeues: for thy wordes therefore, which thou hast spoken against him, thou shalt be led captiue.Fuit enim in derisum tibi Israël: / quasi inter fures reperisses eum: / propter verba ergo tua quæ adversum illum locutus es, / captivus duceris. 28Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, you that dwell in Moab: and be ye like the dove that maketh her nest in the mouth of the hole in the highest place.Abbandonate le città, andate a stare sui massi, o abitatori di Moab: e siate come colomba, che fa suo nido nella parte più alta della forata rupe.Leaue the cities, and dwel in the rocke ye inhabitants of Moab, and be ye as a doue making her nest in the highest mouth of the hole.Relinquite civitates, et habitate in petra, habitatores Moab: / et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis. 29We have heard the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud: his haughtiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the loftiness of his heart.Abbiam sentito parlare della superbia di Moab, che è grandemente superbo; e della sua altura, e della arroganza, e della superbia, e dell'elevato suo cuore.We haue heard the pride of Moab, he is proude excedingly: his haughtines, and arrogancie, and pride, and loftines of his hart.Audivimus superbiam Moab: superbus est valde: / sublimitatem ejus, et arrogantiam, / et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis ejus.

30I know, saith the Lord, his boasting, and that the strength thereof is not according to it, neither hath it endeavoured to do according as it was able.Io conosco, dice il Signore, la sua giattanza; e che a questa il suo valor non confina, e i suoi tentativi non furon proporzionati al suo potere.I know, saith our Lord, his bosting: and that the strength thereof is not according to it, neither hath it endeuoured to doe according to that which it was able.Ego scio, ait Dominus, jactantiam ejus, / et quod non sit juxta eam virtus ejus, / nec juxta quod poterat conata sit facere. 31Therefore will I lament for Moab, and I will cry out to all Moab, for the men of the brick wall that mourn.Per questo io alzerò le strida sopra di Moab, e a tutto Moab farò sentir la mia voce, e agli uomini delle mura di mattone, i quali menan gran duolo.Therefore wil I waile vpon Moab, and to al Moab wil I crie, to the men of the earthen wal that lament.Ideo super Moab ejulabo, / et ad Moab universam clamabo, / ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes: 32O vineyard of Sabama, I will weep for thee, with the mourning of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they are come even to the sea of Jazer: the robber hath rushed in upon thy harvest and thy vintage.Come ho pianto Jazer, così piangerò te, o vigna di Sabama; le tue propaggini hanno passato il mare, sono arrivate fino al mare di Jazer: sopra la tua messe, e sopra la tua vendemmia si è gittato il ladrone.Of the mourning of Iazer I wil weepe to thee ô vineyard of Sabama: thy branches haue passed ouer the sea, they are come euen to the sea of Iaser: the spoiler hath violently entered vpon thine haruest, and thy vintage.de planctu Jazer plorabo tibi, vinea Sabama. / Propagines tuæ transierunt mare; / usque ad mare Jazer pervenerunt: / super messem tuam et vindemiam tuam prædo irruit. 33Joy and gladness is taken away from Carmel, and from the land of Moab, and I have taken away the wine out of the presses: the treader of the grapes shall not sing the accustomed cheerful tune.L'allegrezza, e il gaudio è stato tolto al Carmelo, ed a Moab: ho tolto il vino agli strettoi; né colui, che pigia le uve, canterà la usata canzone.Ioy and gladnes is taken away out of Carmel, and out of the Land of Moab, and the wine out of the presses I haue taken away: the treader of the grapeshal not sing the accustomed cheereful note.Ablata est lætitia et exsultatio / de Carmelo et de terra Moab, / et vinum de torcularibus sustuli: / nequaquam calcator uvæ solitum celeuma cantabit.

34From the cry of Hesebon even to Eleale, and to Jasa, they have uttered their voice: from Segor to Oronaim, as a heifer of three years old: the waters also of Nemrim shall be very bad.Le grida di Hesebon arriveran fino ad Eleale, ed a Jasa: hanno alzata la loro voce da Segor fino ad Oronaim, come una vitella di tre anni. Le acque ancora di Nemrim saran di pessima qualità.From the crie of Hesebon vnto Eleale, and Iasa, they haue geuen their voice: from Segor to Oronaim, an heyfer of three yeares old: the waters also of Nemrim shal be verie il.De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale et Jasa, dederunt vocem suam; / a Segor usque ad Oronaim, vitula conternante: / aquæ quoque Nemrim pessimæ erunt. 35And I will take away from Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and that sacrificeth to his gods.E io toglierò da Moab, dice il Signore, e colui, che fa obblazioni ne' luoghi elevati, e colui, che fa sacrifizio agli dii di lui.And I wil take away from Moab, faith our Lord, him that offereth in the excelses, and that sacrificeth to his goddes.Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus, / offerentem in excelsis, / et sacrificantem diis ejus. 36Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of the brick wall: because he hath done more than he could, therefore they have perished.Per questo il mio cuore darà suono come di tibia per amore di Moab, e per amor di coloro, che abitan dentro le muraglie di matton cotto, il mio cuore darà suono di tibia: son iti in rovina, perchè han fatto più di quel, che potevano:Therefore shal my hart sound to Moab as a shaulme: and my hart shal geue the sound of shaulmes to the men of the earthen wal: because he hath done more then he could, therefore haue they perished.Propterea cor meum ad Moab quasi tibiæ resonabit, / et cor meum ad viros muri fictilis dabit sonitum tibiarum: / quia plus fecit quam potuit, / idcirco perierunt. 37For every head shall be bald, and every beard shall be shaven: all hands shall be tied together, and upon every back there shall be haircloth.Perchè ogni testa sarà senza capelli, e sarà rasa ogni barba; tutte le braccia saran fasciate; e ogni dorso sarà coperto di cilizio.For euerie head baldnes, and euerie beard shal be shauen: in al handes binding together, and vpon euerie backe cloth of heare.Omne enim caput calvitium, / et omnis barba rasa erit: / in cunctis manibus colligatio, / et super omne dorsum cilicium: 38Upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof general mourning: because I have broken Moab as an useless vessel, saith the Lord.Non si sentirà se non gemiti su tutti i tetti di Moab, e pelle sue piazze; perocché io ho spezzato Moab come un vaso non buono a nulla, dice il Signore.Vpon al the house toppes of Moab, and in the streetes thereof al mourning: because I haue broken Moab as an vnprofitable vessel, saith our Lord.super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis ejus, / omnis planctus: / quoniam contrivi Moab / sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.

39How is it overthrown, and they have howled! How hath Moab bowed down the neck, and is confounded! And Moab shall be a derision, and an example to all round about him.Come mai è ella stata vinta, ed ha alzate le strida? Come mai Moab ha gettato giù il capo, ed è confusa? Moab sarà scherno, ed esempio per tutti ne' suoi contorni.How is it ouercome, and they haue howled? How hath Moab cast downe the necke, and is confounded? And Moab shal be in derision, and for an example to al round about him.Quomodo victa est, et ululaverunt ? / quomodo dejecit cervicem Moab, et confusus est ? / eritque Moab in derisum, et in exemplum omnibus in circuitu suo. 40Thus saith the Lord: Behold he shall fly as an eagle, and shall stretch forth his wings to Moab.Queste cose dice il Signore: Ecco che (il Caldeo) volerà come aquila, e le ali sue stenderà sopra Moab.Thus saith our Lord: Behold he shal flee as an eagle, & shal stretch forth his winges to Moab.Hæc dicit Dominus: / Ecce quasi aquila volabit, / et extendet alas suas ad Moab. 41Carioth is taken, and the strongholds are won: and the heart of the valiant men of Moab in that day shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.Carioth è stata espugnata, e i suoi baluardi sono stati superati: e il cuore dei forti di Moab sarà in quel di come il cuore di una donna, che partorisce.Carioth is taken, and munitions are wonne: and the hart of the valiants of Moab in that day, shal be as the hart of a woman in trauel.Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensæ sunt: / et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa / sicut cor mulieris parturientis, 42And Moab shall cease to be a people: because he hath gloried against the Lord.E Moab cesserà di essere un popolo; perchè si è insuperbito contro il Signore.And Moab shal cease to be a people: because he hath gloried against our Lord.et cessabit Moab esse populus, / quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est. 43Fear, and the pit, and the snare come upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.La scacciata, la fossa, e il laccio saran per te, o abitatore di Moab, dice il Signore.Feare, and pitte, and snare vpon thee ô inhabiter of Moab, saith our Lord.Pavor, et fovea, / et laqueus super te, / o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus. 44He that shall flee from the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall get up out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon Moab the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.Chi scanserà la scacciata, cadrà nella fossa, e chi uscirà della fossa, sarà preso al laccio: imperocché io farò venire per Moab l'anno di loro visita, dice il Signore.He that shal flee from the face of feare, shal fal into the pitte: and he that shal come vp out of the pitte, shal be taken in the snare: for I wil bring vpon Moab the yeare of their visitation, saith our Lord.Qui fugerit a facie pavoris cadet in foveam, / et qui conscenderit de fovea capietur laqueo: / adducam enim super Moab annum visitationis eorum, ait Dominus.

45They that fled from the snare stood in the shadow of Hesebon: but there came a fire out of Hesebon, and a flame out of the midst of Seon, and it shall devour part of Moab, and the crown of the head of the children of tumult.Que', che fuggivano il laccio, si posarono all'ombra di Hesebon, ma è uscito fuoco di Hesebon, e una fiamma di mezzo a Sehon, la quale divorerà una parte di Moab, e l'altura de' figliuoli di tumulto.They stoode in the shadow of Hesebon that fled from the snare: because there came a fire out of Hesebon, and a flame out of the middes of Sehon, and it hath deuoured part of Moab, and the toppe of the children of rumult.In umbra Hesebon steterunt de laqueo fugientes, / quia ignis egressus est de Hesebon, / et flamma de medio Seon: / et devorabit partem Moab, / et verticem filiorum tumultus. 46Woe to thee, Moab, thou hast persisted, O people of Chamos: for thy sons, and thy daughters are taken captives.Guai a te, o Moab, popolo di Chamos tu se' andato in rovina; perocché sono stati portati via i figli tuoi, e le figlie in ischiavitù.Woe to thee Moab, thou hast perished ô people of Chamos: because thy sonnes are taken, and thy daughters into captiuitie.Væ tibi, Moab: / periisti, popule Chamos, / quia comprehensi sunt filii tui / et filiæ tuæ in captivitatem. 47And I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the last days, saith the Lord. Hitherto the judgments of Moab.Ed io farò ritornare i prigionieri di Moab negli ultimi giorni, dice il Signore. Fin qui il giudizio di Moab.And I wil conuert the captiuirie of Moab in the last daies, saith our Lord. Hitherto the iudgements of Moab.Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus. Hucusque judicia Moab.
