Jeremiah 47

1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took Gaza.

Sa ki te vini kon pawòl SENYÈ a de Jérémie, pwofèt la, konsènan Filisten yo, avan Farawon te fin bat peyi Gaza.

2 Thus saith the Lord: Behold there come up waters out of the north, and they shall be as an overflowing torrent, and they shall cover the land, and all that is therein, the city and the inhabitants thereof: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,

Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, dlo yo ap leve soti nan nò e l ap vin fè yon gwo fòs inondasyon dlo k ap debòde jis li vin kouvri latè ak tout kapasite l, menm vil a sila ki rete ladann. Mesye yo va kriye fò, e tout moun ladann va rele anmwey.

3 At the noise of the marching of arms, and of his soldiers, at the rushing of his chariots, and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back to the children, for feebleness of hands,

Akoz bri zago cheval li k ap kouri rèd, zen a cha li yo, ak gwonde a wou yo, papa yo pa p retounen pran pitit yo, men men yo va lage nèt ak sezisman.

4 Because of the coming of the day, in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.

Akoz jou k ap vini pou detwi tout Filisten yo, pou koupe retire nèt de Tyr ak Sidon tout soutyen ki rete yo; paske SENYÈ a ap detwi Filisten yo, retay a kot Caphtor a.

5 Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou cut thyself?

Gaza vin chòv; Askalon te fin detwi nèt. O retay vale yo! Pandan konbyen de tan nou va blese pwòp chè nou?

6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

“‘Ah nepe SENYÈ a! Pandan konbyen de tan ou va refize vin kalm? Ralanti, rantre nan fouwo a; repoze e rete trankil.’

7 How shall it be quiet, when the Lord hath given it a charge against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof by the sea side, and there hath made an appointment for it?

“Kòman li ka kalm, lè SENYÈ a bay li lòd? Kont Ashkalon, kont kot lanmè a; Se la, Li te ranje pou l te fèt.”
