Jeremías 49
La Bible Crampon 1923
1Contre les enfants d'Ammon. Ainsi parle Yahweh : Israël n'a-t-il pas de fils, n'a-t-il pas d'héritier ? Pourquoi Melchom a-t-il pris possession de Gad, et son peuple s'est-il installé dans ses villes ?
2C'est pourquoi voici que des jours viennent, — oracle de Yahweh, où je ferai retentir à Rabba des enfants d'Ammon le cri de guerre. Elle deviendra un monceau de ruines, et ses filles seront livrées au feu, et Israël héritera de ceux qui ont hérité de lui, — oracle de Yahweh.
3Lamente-toi, Hésébon, car Haï a été saccagée ; poussez des cris, filles de Rabbah, ceignez-vous de sacs, lamentez-vous ; errez le long des clôtures ; car Melchom s'en va en exil, et avec lui, ses prêtres et ses chefs.
4Pourquoi te glorifier de tes vallées ? — elle est riche, ta vallée ! — fille rebelle, toi qui te confies dans tes trésors, disant : " Qui oserait venir contre moi ? "
5Voici que j'amène contre toi la terreur, — oracle du Seigneur Yahweh des armées, de tous les alentours ; vous serez chassés, chacun droit devant soi, et personne ne ralliera les fuyards.
6Mais après cela, je ramènerai les captifs des enfants d'Ammon, — oracle de Yahweh.
7Contre Edom. Ainsi parle Yahweh, des armées : N'y a-t-il plus de sagesse en Théman ? Les avisés sont-ils à bout de conseils ? Leur sagesse s'est-elle évanouie ?
8Fuyez, retournez sur vos pas, blottissez-vous, habitants de Dédan car j'amènerai sur Esaü la ruine, au temps où je le visite.
9Si des vendangeurs viennent chez toi, ils ne laissent rien à grappiller ; si ce sont des voleurs de nuit, ils pillent tout leur soûl.
10Car c'est moi qui ai mis à nu Esaü et découvert ses retraites, et il ne peut plus se cacher ; sa race est ravagé, ses frères, ses voisins, — et il n'est plus.
11Abandonne tes orphelins, c'est moi qui les ferai vivre, et que tes veuves se confient en moi !
12Car ainsi parle Yahweh : Voici que ceux qui ne devaient pas boire cette coupe la boiront sûrement ; et toi, tu en serais tenu quitte ? Non, tu n'en seras pas tenu quitte, tu la boiras sûrement !
13Car je l'ai juré par moi-même, — oracle de Yahweh : Bosra sera un sujet d'étonnement et d'opprobre, un lieu désert et maudit, et toutes ses villes seront des ruines à jamais.
14J'en ai appris de Yahweh la nouvelle, et un messager a été envoyé parmi les nations : " Rassemblez-vous et marchez contre lui ! Levez-vous pour le combat ! "
15Car voici que je t'ai rendu petit parmi les nations, méprisé parmi les hommes.
16La terreur que tu inspirais t'a égaré, ainsi que la fierté de ton cœur, toi qui habites le creux des rochers, qui occupes le sommet de la colline. Mais quand tu élèverais ton aire comme l'aigle, de là je te ferai descendre, — oracle de Yahweh.
17Edom sera un sujet d'étonnement ; tous les passants s'étonneront, et siffleront à la vue de toutes ses plaies.
18Ce sera comme la catastrophe de Sodome, de Gomorrhe et des villes voisines, dit Yahweh ; personne n'y habitera, aucun fils de l'homme n'y séjournera.
19Pareil à un lion, voici qu'il monte des halliers du Jourdain au pâturage perpétuel ; soudain j'en ferai fuir Edom, et j'y établirai celui que j'ai choisi. Car qui est semblable à moi ? Qui me provoquerait, et quel est le berger qui me tiendrait tête ?
20Ecoutez donc la résolution qu'a prise Yahweh contre Edom, et les desseins qu'il a médités contre les habitants de Théman : Oui, on les entraînera comme de faibles brebis ; oui, leur pâturage en sera dans la stupeur.
21Au bruit de leur chute, la terre tremble ; le bruit de leur voix se fait entendre jusqu'à la mer Rouge.
22Voici qu'il monte et prend son vol comme l'aigle, il étend ses ailes sur Bosra ; et le cœur des guerriers d'Edom est en ce jour comme le cœur d'une femme en travail.
23Contre Damas. Hamath et Arphad sont dans la confusion, parce qu'elles ont reçu une mauvaise nouvelle ; elles se fondent de peur ; c'est la mer en tourmente, qui ne peut s'apaiser.
24Damas est sans force, elle se tourne pour fuir, et l'effroi s'empare d'elle ; l'angoisse et les douleurs la saisissent, comme une femme qui enfante.
25A quel point n'est-elle pas abandonnée, la ville glorieuse, la cité de délices, de joie !
26Aussi ses jeunes gens tomberont sur ses places, ainsi que tous ses hommes de guerre ; ils périront en ce jour-là, — oracle de Yahweh des armées.
27J'allumerai un feu dans les murs de Damas, et il dévorera les palais de Ben-Hadad.
28Contre Cédar et les royaumes de Hasor, que frappa Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone. Ainsi parle Yahweh : Debout ! Marchez contre Cédar, exterminez les fils de l'Orient !
29Qu'on prenne leurs tentes et leurs troupeaux ! Qu'on leur enlève leurs tentures, tous leurs bagages et leurs chameaux ! Et qu'on leur crie : Terreur de toutes parts !
30Sauvez-vous, fuyez de toutes vos forces, blottissez-vous, habitants de Hasor ! — oracle de Yahweh. Car Nabuchodonosor, roi de Babylone, a formé contre vous un dessein, il a conçu un projet contre vous.
31Debout ! Marchez contre un peuple tranquille, en assurance dans sa demeure, — oracle de Yahweh, qui n'a ni portes ni barres, qui vit à l'écart.
32Leurs chameaux seront votre butin, et la multitude de leurs troupeaux vos dépouilles. Je les disperserai à tous les vents, ces hommes aux tempes rasées, et de tous côtés je ferai venir sur leur ruine, — oracle de Yahweh.
33Et Hasor deviendra un repaire de chacals, une solitude pour toujours ; personne n'y demeurera, aucun fils d'homme n'y séjournera.
34La parole de Yahweh qui fut adressée à Jérémie, le prophète, pour Élam, au commencement du règne de Sédécias, roi de Juda, en ces termes :
35Ainsi parle Yahweh des armées : Voici que je vais briser l'arc d'Élam, principe de sa force.
36Je ferai venir sur Élam quatre vents, des quatre coins du ciel, et je le disperserai à tous ces vents ; et il n'y aura pas une nation où n'arrivent pas des fugitifs d'Élam.
37Je ferai trembler Élam devant ses ennemis, et devant ceux qui en veulent à sa vie. Et j'amènerai sur eux des malheurs, le feu de mon ardente colère, — oracle de Yahweh. Et j'enverrai après eux l'épée, jusqu'à ce que je les aie anéantis.
38Je placerai mon trône en Élam, et j'en exterminerai roi et chefs, — oracle de Yahweh.
39Mais à la fin des jours, je ramènerai les captifs d'Élam, — oracle de Yahweh.
Reina-Valera 1909
1DE los hijos de Ammón. Así ha dicho Jehová: ¿No tiene hijos Israel? ¿No tiene heredero? ¿Por qué tomó como por heredad el rey de ellos á Gad, y su pueblo habitó en sus ciudades?
2Por tanto, he aquí vienen días, ha dicho Jehová, en que haré oir en Rabba de los hijos de Ammón clamor de guerra; y será puesta en montón de asolamiento, y sus ciudades serán puestas á fuego, é Israel tomará por heredad á los que los tomaron á ellos, ha dicho Jehová.
3Aulla, oh Hesbón, porque destruída es Hai; clamad, hijas de Rabba, vestíos de sacos, endechad, y rodead por los vallados, porque el rey de ellos fué en cautiverio, sus sacerdotes y sus príncipes juntamente.
4¿Por qué te glorías de los valles? Tu valle se deshizo, oh hija contumaz, la que confía en sus tesoros, la que dice: ¿Quién vendrá contra mí?
5He aquí yo traigo sobre ti espanto, dice el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos, de todos tus alrededores; y seréis lanzados cada uno en derechura de su rostro, y no habrá quien recoja al errante.
6Y después de esto haré tornar la cautividad de los hijos de Ammón, dice Jehová.
7De Edom. Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: ¿No hay más sabiduría en Temán? ¿ha perecido el consejo en los sabios? ¿corrompióse su sabiduría?
8Huid, volveos, escondeos en simas para estar, oh moradores de Dedán; porque el quebrantamiento de Esaú traeré sobre él, al tiempo que lo tengo de visitar.
9Si vendimiadores vinieran contra ti, ¿no dejarán rebuscos? Si ladrones de noche, tomarán lo que hubieren menester.
10Mas yo desnudaré á Esaú, descubriré sus escondrijos, y no podrá esconderse: será destruída su simiente, y sus hermanos, y sus vecinos; y no será.
11Deja tus huérfanos, yo los criaré; y en mí se confiarán tus viudas.
12Porque así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que los que no estaban condenados á beber del cáliz, beberán ciertamente; ¿y serás tú absuelto del todo? No serás absuelto, sino que de cierto beberás.
13Porque por mí he jurado, dice Jehová, que en asolamiento, en oprobio, en soledad, y en maldición, será Bosra; y todas sus ciudades serán en asolamientos perpetuos.
14La fama oí, que de Jehová había sido enviado mensajero á las gentes, diciendo: Juntaos, y venid contra ella, y levantaos á la batalla.
15Porque he aquí que pequeño te he puesto entre las gentes, menospreciado entre los hombres.
16Tu arrogancia te engañó, y la soberbia de tu corazón, tú que habitas en cavernas de peñas, que tienes la altura del monte: aunque alces como águila tu nido, de allí te haré descender, dice Jehová.
17Y será Edom en asolamiento: todo aquel que pasare por ella se espantará, y silbará sobre todas sus plagas.
18Como el trastornamiento de Sodoma y de Gomorra, y de sus ciudades vecinas, dice Jehová, no morará allí nadie, ni la habitará hijo de hombre.
19He aquí que como león subirá de la hinchazón del Jordán contra la bella y robusta; porque muy pronto harélo correr de sobre ella, y al que fuere escogido la encargaré; porque ¿quién es semejante á mí? ¿y quién me emplazará? ¿y quién será aquel pastor que me podrá resistir?
20Por tanto, oid el consejo de Jehová, que ha acordado sobre Edom; y sus pensamientos, que ha resuelto sobre los moradores de Temán. Ciertamente los más pequeños del hato los arrastrarán, y destruirán sus moradas con ellos.
21Del estruendo de la caída de ellos la tierra tembló, y el grito de su voz se oyó en el mar Bermejo.
22He aquí que como águila subirá y volará, y extenderá sus alas sobre Bosra: y el corazón de los valientes de Edom será en aquel día como el corazón de mujer en angustias.
23Acerca de Damasco. Confundióse Hamath, y Arphad, porque oyeron malas nuevas: derritiéronse en aguas de desmayo, no pueden sosegarse.
24Desmayóse Damasco, volvióse para huir, y tomóle temblor: angustia y dolores le tomaron, como de mujer que está de parto.
25¡Cómo dejaron á la ciudad de alabanza, ciudad de mi gozo!
26Por tanto, sus mancebos caerán en sus plazas, y todos los hombres de guerra morirán en aquel día, ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos.
27Y haré encender fuego en el muro de Damasco, y consumirá las casas de Ben-hadad.
28De Cedar y de los reinos de Hasor, los cuales hirió Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia. Así ha dicho Jehová: Levantaos, subid contra Cedar, y destruid los hijos de oriente.
29Sus tiendas y sus ganados tomarán: sus cortinas, y todos sus vasos, y sus camellos, tomarán para sí; y llamarán contra ellos miedo alrededor.
30Huid, trasponeos muy lejos, meteos en simas para estar, oh moradores de Hasor, dice Jehová; porque tomó consejo contra vosotros Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y contra vosotros ha formado designio.
31Levantaos, subid á gente pacífica, que vive confiadamente, dice Jehová, que ni tienen puertas ni cerrojos, que viven solitarios.
32Y serán sus camellos por presa, y la multitud de sus ganados por despojo; y esparcirélos por todos vientos, echados hasta el postrer rincón; y de todos sus lados les traeré su ruina, dice Jehová.
33Y Hasor será morada de chacales, soledad para siempre: ninguno morará allí, ni la habitará hijo de hombre.
34Palabra de Jehová que fué á Jeremías profeta acerca de Elam, en el principio del reinado de Sedechîas rey de Judá, diciendo:
35Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos: He aquí que yo quiebro el arco de Elam, principio de su fortaleza.
36Y traeré sobre Elam los cuatro vientos de los cuatro puntos del cielo, y aventarélos á todos estos vientos; ni habrá gente adonde no vengan extranjeros de Elam.
37Y haré que Elam se intimide delante de sus enemigos, y delante de los que buscan su alma; y traeré sobre ellos mal, y el furor de mi enojo, dice Jehová; y enviaré en pos de ellos espada hasta que los acabe.
38Y pondré mi silla en Elam, y destruiré de allí rey y príncipe, dice Jehová.
39Mas acontecerá en lo postrero de los días, que haré tornar la cautividad de Elam, dice Jehová.
King James Version
1Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
2Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.
3Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
4Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
5Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
6And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
7Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.
9If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
10But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
11Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
12For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
13For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
16Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
17Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
20Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
24Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
28Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
29Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.
30Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
31Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.
32And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.
33And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
38And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.
39But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.

1Of the children of Ammon. The LORD says: “Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people dwell in its cities?
2Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and it will become a desolate heap, and her daughters will be burned with fire; then Israel will possess those who possessed him,” says the LORD.
3“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, you daughters of Rabbah! Clothe yourself in sackcloth. Lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam will go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
4Why do you boast in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You trusted in her treasures, saying, ‘Who will come to me?’
5Behold, I will bring a terror on you,” says the Lord, GOD of Armies, “from all who are around you. All of you will be driven completely out, and there will be no one to gather together the fugitives.
6“But afterward I will reverse the captivity of the children of Ammon,” says the LORD.
7Of Edom, the LORD of Armies says: “Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?
8Flee! Turn back! Dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit him.
9If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves came by night, wouldn’t they steal until they had enough?
10But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he will not be able to hide himself. His offspring is destroyed, with his brothers and his neighbors; and he is no more.
11Leave your fatherless children. I will preserve them alive. Let your widows trust in me.”
12For the LORD says: “Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup will certainly drink; and are you he who will altogether go unpunished? You won’t go unpunished, but you will surely drink.
13For I have sworn by myself,” says the LORD, “that Bozrah will become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. All its cities will be perpetual wastes.”
14I have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, “Gather yourselves together! Come against her! Rise up to the battle!”
15“For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.
16As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill, though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.
17“Edom will become an astonishment. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will hiss at all its plagues.
18As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says the LORD, “no man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.
19“Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make them run away from it, and whoever is chosen, I will appoint him over it. For who is like me? Who will appoint me a time? Who is the shepherd who will stand before me?”
20Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom, and his purposes that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they will drag them away, the little ones of the flock. Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
21The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.
22Behold, he will come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah. The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23Of Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard evil news. They have melted away. There is sorrow on the sea. It can’t be quiet.
24Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?
26Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day,” says the LORD of Armies.
27“I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.”
28Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck, The LORD says: “Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east.
29They will take their tents and their flocks. they will carry away for themselves their curtains, all their vessels, and their camels; and they will cry to them, ‘Terror on every side!’
30Flee! Wander far off! Dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,” says the LORD; “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.
31Arise! Go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care,” says the LORD; “that has neither gates nor bars, that dwells alone.
32Their camels will be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a plunder. I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,” says the LORD.
33Hazor will be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever. No man will dwell there, neither will any son of man live therein.”
34The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35“The LORD of Armies says: ‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36I will bring on Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds. There will be no nation where the outcasts of Elam will not come.
37I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life. I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,’ says the LORD; ‘and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them.
38I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and princes,’ says the LORD.
39‘But it will happen in the latter days that I will reverse the captivity of Elam,’ says the LORD.”
