Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab. Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is put to shame; it is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
Konsènan Moab. Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Malè a Nebo! Paske li fin detwi. Kirjathaïm te rive wont nèt. Li vin kaptire. Sitadèl la ki te leve byen wo a te fè wont. Li te vin kraze nèt.
2 The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O madmen, shall be brought to silence. The sword shall pursue thee.
Pa genyen lwanj pou Moab ankò. Nan Hesbon, yo te fè plan pou malè li: ‘Vini, annou koupe retire l nèt pou l pa menm yon nasyon ankò!’ Nou menm tou, Madmen, va vin an silans. Nepe a va swiv nou.
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim: Desolation and great destruction!
Bri a gwo kri k ap sòti Choronaïm; ravaj ak gwo destriksyon!
4 Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Moab fin kraze. Pitit li yo te fè yon kri detrès.
5 For they shall 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.
Paske akote pant ki monte vè Luchith la, yo va monte avèk kri san rete. Paske nan pant ki desann kote Choronaïm nan, yo te tande gwo kri ak doulè akoz destriksyon an.
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
Chape poul nou, sove lavi nou, pou nou ka tankou yon bayawonn nan dezè a.
7 For, because thou have trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his rulers together.
Paske akoz konfyans nou mete nan pwòp zèv nou ak trezò pa nou; menm nou menm va vin kaptire. Kemosch va antre an egzil ansanm ak prèt li yo ak prens li yo.
8 And the destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape. The valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as Jehovah has spoken.
Yon destriktè va vini nan chak vil, pou pa gen vil ki chape; vale a, anplis, ap detwi, e wo plèn nan va detwi, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away. And her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.
Bay zèl a Moab, paske li va sove ale; epi vil pa li yo va vin yon dezè, san moun ki pou rete ladan yo.
10 Cursed be he who does the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood.
“Malè a sila ki fè travay SENYÈ a ak neglijans, e malè a sila ki anpeche nepe l vèse san.
11 Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
“Moab te alèz depi nan jenès li; anplis, li pa t janm deranje. Tankou diven ki rete nan boutèy orijinal, ki pa t vide de veso a veso, nonplis li pa t janm ale an egzil. Akoz sa, li kenbe bon gou li, ni odè li pa chanje.
12 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off. And they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
Akoz sa, gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “lè Mwen va voye kote li sila ki chavire bato yo e yo va chavire li, yo va vide veso li yo e kraze tout bokal li yo.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
Epi Moab va wont pou Kemosch, menm jan lakay Israël te wont pou Béthel, konfyans pa yo.
14 How can ye say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?
“Kòman nou ka di: ‘Nou se vanyan gèrye e moun plen kouraj pou batay’?
15 Moab 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 Jehovah of hosts.
Moab fin detwi nèt, e moun fin monte kote vil li yo; anplis, jenn mesye pi chwazi li yo fin tonbe nan gwo masak,” deklare Wa a, ki pote non a SENYÈ dèzame yo.
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens fast.
“Gwo dega Moab la prèt pou rive e malè li va chofe rive vit.
17 All ye who are round about him, bemoan him, and all ye who know his name, say, How the strong staff has broken, the beautiful rod!
Fè dèy pou li, nou menm tout ki antoure li, menm nou menm tout ki te konnen non li, di: ‘Gade kijan gwo fòs baton wayal la fin kase, yon baton ki te tèlman bèl!’
18 O thou daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, for the destroyer of Moab has come up against thee. He has destroyed thy strongholds.
O fi ki rete Dibon an, “Desann kite glwa ou pou vin chita sou tè sèk; paske destriktè Moab la te vin kont ou. Li te detwi sitadèl ou yo.
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes. Say, What has been done?
Kanpe akote wout la pou veye, O moun ki rete Aroër. Mande gason ‘ki moun ki sove ale a’? E fi a ‘ki moun ki chape poul li a’? Mande: ‘Kisa ki te pase?’
20 Moab is put to shame, for it is broken down. Wail and cry, tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
Moab fin fè wont nèt, paske li fin kraze nèt. Fè gwo kri, rele anmwey! Deklare akote Rivyè Arnon an ke Moab te fin detwi.
21 And judgment has come upon the plain country: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
Jijman fin rive sou plèn nan tou, sou Holon, sou Jahats e kont Méphaath,
22 and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
Sou Dibon, sou Nebo, sou Beth-Diblathaïm,
23 and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
Sou Kirjathaïm sou Beth-Gamul, sou Beth-Meon,
24 and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
Sou Kerijoth, sou Botsra, sou tout vil nan peyi Moab yo, ni lwen, ni pre.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Jehovah.
Kòn Moab te fin koupe nèt e bra li te fin kase,” deklare SENYÈ a.
26 Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah. And Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
“Fè l vin sou, paske li te plen ògèy anvè SENYÈ a. Pou sa, Moab va vire tounen nan vomisman li, e anplis, li va vin yon rizib pou tout moun ka ri.
27 For was not Israel a derision to thee? Was he found among thieves? For as often as thou speak of him, thou wag the head.
Alò, èske nou pa t konsidere Israël kon yon rizib? Oswa, èske se pami volè li te tonbe? Paske chak fwa nou pale sou li, nou souke tèt nou konsi n ap giyonnen li.
28 O ye inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of an abyss.
Kite vil yo pou rete nan kav wo yo, O moun Moab yo! Fè tankou toutrèl ki fè nich li dèyè bouch gwo kav yo.
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud, his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
“Nou konn tande afè ògèy Moab la. Li vrèman ògeye nan ensolans li, ògèy li, awogans kè li, ak leve pwòp tèt li byen wo.
30 I know his wrath, says Jehovah, that it is nothing. His boastings have wrought nothing.
Mwen konnen gwo kòlè li,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Men sa initil; gwo ògèy li a pa reyisi anyen.
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab, yea, I will cry out for all Moab. For they shall mourn the men of Kir-heres.
Pou sa, mwen va rele anmwey pou Moab, menm pou tout Moab mwen va rele fò. Mwen va plenyen ak tristès pou mesye a Kir-Hérès yo.
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah. Thy branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
Plis ke kriye pou Jaezer, mwen va kriye pou ou, O chan rezen Sibma a. Chan rezen nou yo te lonje rive lòtbò lanmè a. Yo te rive nan lanmè Jaezer a. Sou fwi gran sezon ak rekòlt rezen nou, destriktè a vin tonbe.
33 And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. And I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses. None shall tread with shouting. The shouting shall be no shouting.
Konsa, lajwa ak kè kontan vin retire nan chan plen ak fwi a, menm nan Moab. Epi Mwen te fè diven vin sispann nan pèz diven yo. Pèsòn p ap foule yo ak gwo kri. Kri ki genyen, se ke pa gen kriye menm.
34 From 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 also shall become desolate.
Soti nan gwo kri Hesbon an, menm rive Élealé, menm nan Jahats, yo te leve vwa yo, soti Tsoar, jis rive Choronaïm, jiska Églath-Schelischija; paske dlo a Nimrim yo va anplis vin dezole.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says Jehovah, him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
M ap fè Moab fini nèt”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Sila ki ofri sakrifis sou wo plas yo e sila ki brile lansan a dye li yo.
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
Akoz sa, kè M kriye pou Moab tankou flit; kè M kriye tou pou mesye Kir-Hérès yo. Akoz yo te pèdi tout abondans li te konn pwodwi.
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. Upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
Paske tout tèt vin chòv e tout bab vin koupe kout; genyen blesi sou tout men yo ak twal sak sou kwis.
38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation everywhere. For I have broken Moab like a vessel of which none delights, says Jehovah.
Sou tout twati a Moab yo ak nan lari yo, se lamantasyon tout kote; paske mwen te kraze Moab kon yon veso san valè,” deklare SENYÈ a.
39 How it is broken down! How they do wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So Moab shall become a derision and a horror to all who are round about him.
“A la kraze li kraze! Yo te rele anmwey. Gade kijan Moab te vire do li—li vin wont nèt! Konsa, Moab va vin yon rizib ak yon objè degoutan a tout moun ki antoure li yo.”
40 For thus says Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, li va vole rapid tankou èg e lonje zèl li ouvri kont Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Kerijoth te fin kaptire e sitadèl yo te vin pran. Kè a mesye pwisan Moab yo nan jou sa a, va tankou kè a yon fanm k ap pouse pitit.
42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.
Moab va detwi jiskaske li vin pa yon pèp ankò, akoz li te vin awogan anvè SENYÈ a.
43 Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, says Jehovah.
Gwo laperèz devan twou fòs, ak pèlen ap vini sou nou, O moun Moab yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
44 He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For I will bring upon him, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, says Jehovah.
“Sila ki sove ale devan gwo laperèz la, va tonbe nan fòs la e sila ki monte sòti nan fòs la, va kenbe nan pèlen an; paske Mwen va mennen sou li, menm sou Moab, ane a pinisyon yo”, deklare SENYÈ a.
45 Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
“Nan lonbraj Hesbon, mesye ki chape yo rete san fòs; paske dife a parèt sòti nan Hesbon, yon flanm soti nan mitan Sihon e li te devore fwontèn tèt a Moab ak zo bwa tèt mò a banbochè yo.
46 Woe to thee, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone, for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.
Malè pou ou, Moab! Pèp Kemosch la fin peri; paske fis nou yo vin prizonye e fi nou yo ale an kaptivite.
47 Yet I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
“Malgre sa, Mwen va restore Moab nan dènye jou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a. Jiska prezan, jijman an rive sou Moab.
