Jeremiah 47
1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh struck down Gaza.
Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi sou peyi Filisti a, anvan farawon an t' al atake Gaza.
2 This is what the LORD says: “See how the waters are rising from the north and becoming an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and its fullness, the cities and their inhabitants. The people will cry out, and all who dwell in the land will wail
Seyè a di konsa: -Gade! Bò nan nò, dlo yo ap gonfle, y'ap fè yon gwo lavalas k'ap desann, y'ap anvayi peyi a, y'ap kouvri tou sa ki ladan l'. Y'ap anvayi lavil yo ak tout moun ladan yo. Moun ap rele, y'ap plenn. Tout moun nan peyi a nan gwo lapenn.
3 at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions, the rumbling of chariots, and the clatter of their wheels. The fathers will not turn back for their sons; their hands will hang limp.
Lè y'a tande bri zago chwal yo ap frape tè a, bri cha lagè yo k'ap kouri vini ak bri wou yo k'ap woule atè a, papa p'ap ka fè anyen pou pitit yo, tèlman y'a dekouraje.
4 For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.
Lè a rive pou yo ravaje tout peyi Filisti a nèt, pou yo disparèt tout rès moun ki t'ap bay lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon konkou. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap detwi tout moun Filisti yo, tout moun ki soti nan lil Krèt la.
5 The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?
Moun Gaza yo nan gwo lapenn, yo kale tèt yo. Moun Askalon yo pa ka pale. Kilè rès moun nan fon Filisti a va sispann kòche kò yo ak kouto pou plenn sò mò yo?
6 ‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’
Adye! Kilè nepe Seyè a va sispann touye moun? Tounen nan djenn ou! Rete tou dousman, poze kò ou la!
7 How can it rest when the LORD has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”
Men, ki jan pou li fè poze lè Seyè a ba li lòd travay? Li gen pou l' ale jouk lavil Askalon dèyè moun ki rete bò lanmè a. Se la mwen voye l' ale.
