Jeremías 48
Bible Bovet-Bonnet (1900)
1A Moab. Ainsi parle l'Eternel des armées, Dieu d'Israël : Malheur à Nébo, car elle est saccagée ! Kiriathaïm a la honte d'être prise, la citadelle a la honte d'être abattue.
2Moab n'a plus à se glorifier ; à Hesbon on médite sa ruine : Allons, et retranchons-le ; qu'il ne soit plus une nation ! Toi aussi, Madmen, tu seras réduite au silence, l'épée te poursuivra.
3Des cris viennent de Horonaïm : Saccage et grande ruine !
4Moab est en ruines. On entend les cris de ses enfants.
5Car à la montée de Luchith on pleure, on monte en pleurant ; car à la descente de Horonaïm on entend la détresse, des cris de désastre.
6Fuyez, sauvez vos vies ! qu'elles soient comme des bannis dans le désert !
7Car, puisque tu as mis ta confiance en tes ouvrages et en tes trésors, toi aussi tu seras conquis, et Camos s'en ira en exil, et ses sacrificateurs et ses princes, tous ensemble.
8Et le dévastateur viendra contre toutes les villes, et pas une ville n'échappera ; la plaine basse sera ruinée et la plaine haute saccagée, comme l'Eternel l'a dit.
9Donnez des ailes à Moab ; car il faut qu'il s'envole. Ses villes seront dévastées et dépeuplées.
10Maudit celui qui fait mollement l'œuvre de l'Eternel ! Maudit celui qui refuse le sang à son épée !
11Moab a été tranquille depuis sa jeunesse ; il a reposé sur sa lie ; il n'a pas été vidé d'un vase dans un autre, et il n'est pas allé en captivité ; aussi il a conservé son goût, et son odeur n'a pas changé.
12C'est pourquoi, voici, dit l'Eternel, des jours viennent, que je lui enverrai des transvaseurs qui le transvaseront ; ils videront ses vases et briseront ses cruches.
13Et Moab sera honteux de Camos, comme la maison d'Israël a été honteuse de Béthel en qui était sa confiance
14Comment direz-vous : Nous sommes des guerriers, des hommes vaillants au combat ?
15Moab est ravagé ; ses villes montent en fumée ; l'élite de ses jeunes gens descend à la boucherie, dit le Roi, dont le nom est l'Eternel des armées.
16La perte de Moab approche ; son malheur s'avance rapidement.
17Faites-lui vos condoléances, vous tous ses voisins ; et vous tous qui connaissez son nom, dites : Comment a été brisé un bâton si fort, un sceptre si brillant ?
18Descends de ta gloire, assieds-toi dans la soif, habitante, fille de Dibon ! Car le dévastateur de Moab est monté contre toi ; il a détruit tes remparts.
19Tiens-toi sur le chemin, aux aguets, habitante d'Aroër ; interroge celui qui fuit et celle qui s'échappe ! Dis : Qu'est-il arrivé ?
20Moab est confus ; car il est renversé ! Lamentez-vous et criez ! Annoncez sur l'Arnon que Moab est ravagé !
21Un jugement est venu sur la plaine, sur Holon, sur Jahtsa, sur Méphaath,
22sur Dibon, sur Nébo, sur Beth-Diblathaïm,
23sur Kiriathaïm, sur Beth-Gamul, sur Beth-Méon,
24sur Kérioth, sur Botsra et sur toutes les villes du pays de Moab, éloignées et proches.
25La corne de Moab est rompue, et son bras est brisé, dit l'Eternel.
26Enivrez-le ; car il s'est élevé contre l'Eternel ! Que Moab se vautre dans son vomissement ! Qu'il devienne un objet de risée, lui aussi !
27Est-ce qu'Israël n'a pas été pour toi un objet de risée ? Est-ce qu'il a été trouvé avec des voleurs, pour qu'à chaque fois que tu parles de lui, tu hoches la tête ?
28Abandonnez les villes ; allez demeurer dans les rochers, habitants de Moab ! Soyez comme la colombe qui niche par delà le précipice béant !
29Nous avons entendu l'orgueil de Moab, le très orgueilleux, sa hauteur, son orgueil, sa fierté et son cœur superbe.
30Je connais, moi, dit l'Eternel, son outrecuidance : et il n'y a rien ; sa jactance : et il n'a rien fait !
31C'est pourquoi je me lamente sur Moab ; sur tout Moab je pousse des cris ; on gémit sur les gens de Kir-Hérès.
32Vigne de Sibma, plus encore que sur Jaézer, je pleure sur toi ; tes sarments passaient la mer ; ils touchaient à la mer de Jaézer. Le dévastateur s'est jeté sur ta récolte et sur ta vendange.
33La joie et l'allégresse ont disparu des vergers et de la terre de Moab ; j'ai fait tarir le vin des cuves ; on ne le foule plus en criant hourra ! Le hourra n'est plus un hourra.
34Les cris de Hesbon parviennent jusqu'à Eléalé, jusqu'à Jahats ; les cris qui s'élèvent de Tsoar jusqu'à Horonaïm, retentissent à Eglath-Schelischia ; car même les eaux de Nimrim seront desséchées.
35Et je ferai, dit l'Eternel, que Moab cessera de monter à son haut-lieu et d'encenser ses dieux.
36Aussi mon cœur gémira sur Moab comme gémissent les flûtes ; oui, mon cœur soupire comme les flûtes sur les gens de Kir-Hérès ; car ce qu'ils avaient amassé est perdu.
37Car toute tête est rasée et toute barbe coupée ; il y a sur toutes les mains des incisions et sur les reins des sacs.
38Sur tous les toits de Moab et sur ses places ce ne sont que lamentations ; car j'ai brisé Moab comme un vase dont on ne se soucie pas, dit l'Eternel.
39Comme il a été brisé ! Gémissez ! Comme il a tourné le dos, tout confus, Moab ; et comme Moab est devenu la risée et l'épouvante pour tous ses voisins !
40Car ainsi parle l'Eternel : Voici, il plane comme l'aigle ; il étend ses ailes sur Moab.
41Kérioth est prise, les forteresses sont emportées, et le cœur des guerriers de Moab est en ce jour comme le cœur d'une femme en travail.
42Moab est exterminé, ce n'est plus un peuple, parce qu'il s'est grandi contre l'Eternel.
43Frayeur, fosse et filet sur toi, habitant de Moab ! dit l'Eternel.
44Celui qui fuit devant l'objet de sa frayeur tombera dans la fosse, et celui qui remontera de la fosse sera pris au filet ; car je ferai venir sur lui, sur Moab, l'année de leur visitation, dit l'Eternel.
45A l'ombre de Hesbon se sont arrêtés des fuyards à bout de force ; car un feu est sorti de Hesbon et une flamme du milieu de Sihon, et elle a dévoré les tempes de Moab et le crâne des fils du tumulte.
46Malheur à toi, Moab ! Le peuple de Camos est perdu, car tes fils sont emmenés captifs et tes filles captives.
47Mais je ramènerai les captifs de Moab à la fin des jours, dit l'Eternel. Jusqu'ici le jugement de Moab.
Reina-Valera 1909
1ACERCA de Moab. Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: ¡Ay de Nebo! que fué destruída, fué avergonzada; Chîriathaim fué tomada; fué confusa Misgab, y desmayó.
2No se alabará ya más Moab; contra Hesbón maquinaron mal, diciendo: Venid, y quitémosla de entre las gentes. También tú, Madmén, serás cortada, espada irá tras ti.
3¡Voz de clamor de Horonaim, destrucción y gran quebrantamiento!
4Moab fué quebrantada; hicieron que se oyese el clamor de sus pequeños.
5Porque á la subida de Luhith con lloro subirá el que llora; porque á la bajada de Horonaim los enemigos oyeron clamor de quebranto.
6Huid, salvad vuestra vida, y sed como retama en el desierto.
7Pues por cuanto confiaste en tus haciendas, en tus tesoros, tú también serás tomada: y Chêmos saldrá en cautiverio, los sacerdotes y sus príncipes juntamente.
8Y vendrá destruidor á cada una de las ciudades, y ninguna ciudad escapará: arruinaráse también el valle, y será destruída la campiña, como ha dicho Jehová.
9Dad alas á Moab, para que volando se vaya; pues serán desiertas sus ciudades hasta no quedar en ellas morador.
10Maldito el que hiciere engañosamente la obra de Jehová, y maldito el que detuviere su cuchillo de la sangre.
11Quieto estuvo Moab desde su mocedad, y sobre sus heces ha estado él reposado, y no fué trasegado de vaso en vaso, ni nunca fué en cautiverio: por tanto quedó su sabor en él, y su olor no se ha trocado.
12Por eso, he aquí que vienen días, ha dicho Jehová, en que yo le enviaré trasportadores que lo harán trasportar; y vaciarán sus vasos, y romperán sus odres.
13Y avergonzaráse Moab de Chêmos, á la manera que la casa de Israel se avergonzó de Beth-el, su confianza.
14¿Cómo diréis: Somos valientes, y robustos hombres para la guerra?
15Destruído fué Moab, y sus ciudades asoló, y sus escogidos mancebos descendieron al degolladero, ha dicho el Rey, cuyo nombre es Jehová de los ejércitos.
16Cercano está el quebrantamiento de Moab para venir, y su mal se apresura mucho.
17Compadeceos de él todos los que estáis alrededor suyo; y todos los que sabéis su nombre, decid: ¿Cómo se quebró la vara de fortaleza, el báculo de hermosura?
18Desciende de la gloria, siéntate en seco, moradora hija de Dibón; porque el destruidor de Moab subió contra ti, disipó tus fortalezas.
19Párate en el camino, y mira, oh moradora de Aroer: pregunta á la que va huyendo, y á la que escapó; dile: ¿Qué ha acontecido?
20Avergonzóse Moab, porque fué quebrantado: aullad y clamad: denunciad en Arnón que Moab es destruído.
21Y que vino juicio sobre la tierra de la campiña; sobre Holón, y sobre Jahzah, y sobre Mephaath,
22Y sobre Dibón, y sobre Nebo, y sobre Beth-diblathaim,
23Y sobre Chîriathaim, y sobre Beth-gamul, y sobre Beth-meon,
24Y sobre Chêrioth, y sobre Bosra, y sobre todas las ciudades de tierra de Moab, las de lejos y las de cerca.
25Cortado es el cuerno de Moab, y su brazo quebrantado, dice Jehová.
26Embriagadlo, porque contra Jehová se engrandeció; y revuélquese Moab sobre su vómito, y sea también él por escarnio.
27¿Y no te fué á ti Israel por escarnio, como si lo tomaran entre ladrones? porque desde que de él hablaste, tú te has movido.
28Desamparad las ciudades, y habitad en peñascos, oh moradores de Moab; y sed como la paloma que hace nido detrás de la boca de la caverna.
29Oído hemos la soberbia de Moab, que es muy soberbio: su hinchazón y su orgullo, y su altivez y la altanería de su corazón.
30Yo conozco, dice Jehová, su cólera; mas no tendrá efecto: sus mentiras no han de aprovecharle.
31Por tanto yo aullaré sobre Moab, y sobre todo Moab haré clamor, y sobre los hombres de Kir-heres gemiré.
32Con lloro de Jazer lloraré por ti, oh vid de Sibma: tus sarmientos pasaron la mar, llegaron hasta la mar de Jazer: sobre tu agosto y sobre tu vendimia vino destruidor.
33Y será cortada la alegría y el regocijo de los campos labrados, y de la tierra de Moab: y haré cesar el vino de los lagares: no pisarán con canción; la canción no será canción.
34El clamor, desde Hesbón hasta Eleale; hasta Jaaz dieron su voz: desde Zoar hasta Horonaim, becerra de tres años: porque también las aguas de Nimrin serán destruídas.
35Y haré cesar de Moab, dice Jehová, quien sacrifique en altar, y quien ofrezca sahumerio á sus dioses.
36Por tanto, mi corazón resonará como flautas por causa de Moab, asimismo resonará mi corazón á modo de flautas por los hombres de Kir-heres: porque perecieron las riquezas que había hecho.
37Porque en toda cabeza habrá calva, y toda barba será raída; sobre todas manos rasguños, y sacos sobre todos los lomos.
38Sobre todas las techumbres de Moab y en sus calles, todo él será llanto; porque yo quebranté á Moab como á vaso que no agrada, dice Jehová.
39Aullad: ¡Cómo ha sido quebrantado! ¡cómo volvió la cerviz Moab, y fué avergonzado! Y fué Moab en escarnio y en espanto á todos los que están en sus alrededores.
40Porque así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que como águila volará, y extenderá sus alas á Moab.
41Tomadas son las ciudades, y tomadas son las fortalezas; y será aquel día el corazón de los valientes de Moab como el corazón de mujer en angustias.
42Y Moab será destruído para dejar de ser pueblo: porque se engrandeció contra Jehová.
43Miedo y hoyo y lazo sobre ti, oh morador de Moab, dice Jehová.
44El que huyere del miedo, caerá en el hoyo; y el que saliere del hoyo, será preso del lazo: porque yo traeré sobre él, sobre Moab, año de su visitación, dice Jehová.
45A la sombra de Hesbón se pararon los que huían de la fuerza; mas salió fuego de Hesbón, y llama de en medio de Sihón, y quemó el rincón de Moab, y la mollera de los hijos revoltosos.
46¡Ay de ti, Moab! pereció el pueblo de Chêmos: porque tus hijos fueron presos para cautividad, y tus hijas para cautiverio.
47Empero haré tornar el cautiverio de Moab en lo postrero de los tiempos, dice Jehová. Hasta aquí es el juicio de Moab.
King James Version
1Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
2There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
3A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
8And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
9Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
11Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
14How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!
18Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
19O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
20Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
21And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
23And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
24And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
26Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
28O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth.
29We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
32O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
34From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
37For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.
39They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
43Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
44He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
45They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
47Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
World English Bible
1Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
3The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
9Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
10“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11“Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
13Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14“How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
15Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
16“The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
18“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
19Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
20Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
22on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
23on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
24on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
26“Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
27For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29“We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
30I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
31Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
33Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
34From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
35Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
37For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
38On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
39“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.
44“He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
45“Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47“Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
