Jeremiah 51
1 Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I wil raise vp against Babel, and against the inhabitants that lift vp their heart against me, a destroying wind,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen va fè leve kont Babylone e kont moun k ap viv Chaldée yo, lespri a yon van kap detwi.
2 And wil send vnto Babel fanners that shall fanne her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shalbe against her on euery side.
Mwen va voye etranje yo Babylone pou yo ka vannen l, pou yo kapab devaste peyi li a; paske tout kote nan jou gwo malè li a, yo va kontra li toupatou.
3 Also to the bender that bendeth his bowe, and to him that lifteth himselfe vp in his brigandine, will I say, Spare not her yong men, but destroy all her hoste.
Kontra sila a ki koube a, kite achè koube banza li. Kontra sila a ki leve nan pwotèj li yo, pa kite jennonm li yo chape! Touye tout lame li nèt!
4 Thus the slaine shall fall in the lande of the Caldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streetes.
Yo va tonbe atè mouri nan peyi Kaldeyen yo, frennen nèt, kouche nan lari yo.
5 For Israel hath bene no widowe, nor Iudah from his God, from the Lord of hostes, though their lande was filled with sinne against the holy one of Israel.
Paske ni Israël, ni Juda te abandone pa Bondye li, SENYÈ dèzame yo; sepandan, peyi yo plen koupabilite devan Sila Ki Sen an Israël la.
6 Flee out of the middes of Babel, and deliuer euery man his soule: be not destroyed in her iniquitie: for this is the time of the Lordes vengeance he will render vnto her a recompence.
“Sove ale soti nan mitan Babylone! Nou chak sove lavi nou! Pa vin koupe retire nan inikite l, paske sa se lè vanjans SENYÈ a. Li va rann rekonpans bay li.
7 Babel hath bene as a golden cuppe in the Lordes hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations haue drunken of her wine, therefore do the nations rage.
Babylone te yon tas fèt an lò nan men SENYÈ a, ki te fè tout mond lan vin sou. Nasyon yo te bwè nan diven li an; akoz sa, nasyon yo ap vin anraje.
8 Babel is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howle for her, bring balme for her sore, if she may be healed.
Sibitman, Babylone vin tonbe e kraze nèt; rele anmwey sou li! Pote pomad pou doulè li. Petèt li ka geri.
9 We would haue cured Babel, but she could not be healed: forsake her, and let vs go euery one into his owne countrey: for her iudgement is come vp vnto heauen, and is lifted vp to ye cloudes.
“Nou te pito gerizon pou Babylone, men li pa t geri. Abandone l. Kite nou chak ale nan pwòp peyi pa nou; paske jijman li an fin rive nan syèl la, e leve wo rive jis nan syèl yo.
10 The Lord hath brought forth our righteousnesse: come and let vs declare in Zion the worke of the Lord our God.
‘SENYÈ a te mennen ladwati nou an. Vini, annou rakonte depi nan Sion zèv a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an!’
11 Make bright the arrowes: gather the shieldes: the Lord hath raised vp the spirit of the King of the Medes: for his purpose is against Babel to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, and the vengeance of his Temple.
“File flèch, plen fouwo yo! Kenbe pwotèj yo djanm! SENYÈ a te fè leve lespri a wa yo nan Médie, paske volonte L kont Babylone, pou detwi li. Paske se vanjans SENYÈ a, vanjans pou tanp Li an.
12 Set vp the standart vpon the walles of Babel, make the watch strong: set vp the watchmen: prepare the skoutes: for the Lord hath both deuised, and done that which he spake against the inhabitantes of Babel.
Leve yon sinyal kont miray Babylone yo! Plase yon gad byen fò! Pozisyone santinèl yo, mete gason an anbiskad. Paske SENYÈ a pa t sèlman fè plan, men te acheve objektif sa Li te pale konsènan sila ki rete Babylone yo.
13 O thou that dwellest vpon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine ende is come, euen the ende of thy couetousnes.
O nou menm ki rete bò kote anpil dlo yo, plen ak richès yo, dènye lè nou an gen tan rive, mezi gwo lanvi nou.
14 The Lord of hostes hath sworne by him selfe, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers, and they shall cry and shoute against thee.
SENYÈ dèzame yo te sèmante pa kont Li. Li te di: ‘Anverite, mwen va plen nou ak moun kon yon gwo foul krikèt volan e yo va kriye fò ak gwo kri laviktwa sou nou.’
15 He hath made the earth by his power, and established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.
“Sila ki te fè latè a ak fòs pouvwa Li a, ki te etabli lemonn ak sajès Li, e ak bon konprann Li, te etabli syèl yo.
16 Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to raine, and bringeth forth the winde out of his treasures.
Lè vwa L sone, yon gwo kaskad dlo desann nan syèl yo, e Li fè nwaj monte soti nan dènye pwent latè yo. Li fè loray pou lapli, e mennen van parèt sòti nan depo Li yo.
17 Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.
“Tout lòm gen tan fè bèt, san okenn konesans; tout òfèv yo fè wont akoz imaj fonn yo, paske imaj fonn yo se yon desepsyon e nanpwen souf nan yo.
18 They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Yo san valè, yon zèv pou moke moun; nan tan pinisyon yo, yo va peri.
19 The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.
Pòsyon Jacob pa tankou sa yo; paske Sila ki fè tout bagay la se Li menm e selon tribi eritaj Li a, SENYÈ dèzame yo se non L.
20 Thou art mine hammer, and weapons of warre: for with thee will I breake the nations, and with thee wil I destroy kingdomes,
“Li di: “Ou se baton lagè M ak zam lagè M yo; epi avèk ou, Mwen kraze nasyon yo. Avèk ou, Mwen detwi wayòm yo.
21 And by thee wil I breake horse and horseman, and by thee will I breake the charet and him that rideth therein.
Avèk ou, Mwen kraze cheval la ak sila ki monte sou li. Avèk ou, mwen kraze cha lagè a, ak sila ki monte ladann nan.
22 By thee also will I breake man and woman, and by thee wil I breake olde and yong, and by thee wil I breake the yong man and the mayde.
Avèk ou, Mwen kraze ni gason, ni fanm. Avèk ou, Mwen kraze jennonm nan ak vyèj la.
23 I wil also breake by thee the shepheard and his flocke, and by thee will I breake the husband man and his yoke of oxen, and by thee will I breake the dukes and princes.
Avèk ou, Mwen kraze bèje a ak bann mouton li an. Avèk ou, Mwen kraze kiltivatè a ak bèf cha li yo Avèk ou, Mwen kraze majistra yo ak prefè yo.
24 And I will render vnto Babel, and to all the inhabitants of the Caldeans all their euil, that they haue done in Zion, euen in your sight, sayth the Lord.
“Mwen va rekonpanse Babylone ak tout pèp Chaldée a pou tout mechanste ke yo te fè nan Sion devan zye nou”, deklare SENYÈ a.
25 Beholde, I come vnto thee, O destroying mountaine, sayth the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand vpon thee, and rolle thee downe from the rockes, and wil make thee a burnt mountaine.
“Gade byen, Mwen kont ou O mòn k ap detwi, ki detwi tout tè a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Mwen va lonje men M kont ou, fè ou woule desann soti nan kwen falèz byen wo yo e Mwen va fè ou vin yon mòn ki fin brile nèt.
26 They shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for euer, sayth the Lord.
Yo p ap pran nan men ou, menm yon wòch pou fè kwen, ni yon wòch pou fondasyon yo, men ou va dezole jis pou tout tan,” deklare SENYÈ a.
27 Set vp a standard in the lande: blowe the trumpets among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call vp the kingdomes of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz against her: appoynt the prince against her: cause horses to come vp as the rough caterpillers.
“Leve yon sinyal nan peyi a, soufle yon twonpèt pami nasyon yo! Konsakre nasyon yo kont li! Rele kont li wayòm Ararat, Minni ak Aschkenaz yo! Chwazi yon gwo chèf kont li; leve cheval tankou yon foul krikèt volan voras.
28 Prepare against her the nations with the Kings of the Medes, the dukes thereof, and the princes thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
Konsakre nasyon yo kont li, Wa a Médie yo, majistra pa yo ak prefè yo, ak tout peyi ke yo konn domine yo.
29 And the land shall tremble and sorow: for the deuise of the Lord shalbe performed against Babel, to make the lande of Babel waste without an inhabitant.
Peyi a ta tranble e tòde; paske volonte a SENYÈ a kont Babylone kanpe, pou fè peyi Babylone vin yon dezolasyon san moun.
30 The strong men of Babel haue ceased to fight: they haue remayned in their holdes: their strength hath fayled, and they were like women: they haue burnt her dwelling places, and her barres are broken.
Mesye pwisan a Babylone yo te sispann goumen; yo rete nan sitadèl fòtifye yo. Fòs yo fin epwize nèt. Yo vin tankou fanm. Lakay yo pran dife. Fè fòje sou pòtay li yo fin kraze.
31 A post shall runne to meete the post, and a messenger to meete the messenger, to shew the King of Babel, that his citie is taken on a side thereof,
Youn kouri rankontre yon lòt; yon mesaje rankontre yon lòt, pou pale wa Babylone nan ke vil li a fin kaptire, soti nan yon pwent pou rive nan yon lòt.
32 And that the passages are stopped, and the reedes burnt with fire, and the me of war troubled.
Kote pou yo janbe rivyè yo fin sezi tou. Yo te brile marekaj yo ak dife, e sòlda lagè yo vin sezi ak gwo laperèz.”
33 For thus sayth the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, the daughter of Babel is like a threshing floore: the time of her threshing is come: yet a litle while, and the time of her haruest shall come.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Fi Babylone nan tankou yon glasi vannen. Nan lè li, li foule byen solid, men nan yon ti tan, sezon rekòlt la rive sou li.”
34 Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel hath deuoured me, and destroyed me: he hath made me an emptie vessel: he swallowed mee vp like a dragon, and filled his belly with my delicates, and hath cast me out.
“Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te devore mwen. Li te kraze mwen. Li te depoze mwen tankou yon boutèy vid. Tankou yon dragon, li te vale mwen. Li te plen vant li ak bagay liks mwen yo. Li te lave mwen ale nèt.
35 The spoyle of me, and that which was left of me, is brought vnto Babel, shall the inhabitant of Zion say: and my blood vnto the inhabitantes of Caldea, shall Ierusalem say.
Ke vyolans anvè mwen an, e anvè chè mwen an, kapab tonbe sou Babylone.” Pèp Sion an va di: “Ke san mwen kapab tonbe sou moun Chaldée yo”, Jérusalem va di.
36 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will maintayne thy cause, and take vengeance for thee, and I will drie vp the sea, and drie vp her springes.
“Akoz sa”, pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen va plede ka ou, e egzije vanjans nèt pou ou. Mwen va seche lanmè li, e fè sous li yo vin sèch.
37 And Babel shall be as heapes, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
Babylone va devni yon gwo pil ranblè, yon kay pou chen mawon, yon objè degoutan, ak sifle kon koulèv, san gen moun ki rete ladann.
38 They shall rore together like lions, and yell as the lyons whelpes.
Yo va gwonde ansanm kon jenn lyon, yo va gwonde kon pitit a lyon.
39 In their heate I will make them feastes, and I wil make them drunken, that they may reioyce, and sleepe a perpetual sleepe, and not wake, sayth the Lord.
Lè yo vin rive cho ase, mwen va sèvi yo bankè yo, e fè yo sou, pou yo ka fè kè kontan nèt e dòmi nèt, pou yo pa leve ankò menm”, deklare SENYÈ a.
40 I wil bring them downe like lambes to the slaughter, and like rams and goates.
“Mwen va bese yo tankou jenn mouton nan labatwa, kon belye ansanm ak mal kabrit.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and howe is the glory of the whole earth taken! how is Babel become an astonishment among the nations!
“Gade kijan Schéschac fin kaptire! Kijan glwa a tout tè a vin pran! Gade kijan Babylone devni yon objè degoutan pami nasyon yo!
42 The sea is come vp vpon Babel: he is couered with the multitude of the waues thereof.
Lanmè fin monte sou Babylone; li te anvayi pa move vag li yo.
43 Her cities are desolate: the land is dry and a wildernes, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth the sonne of man passe thereby.
Vil li yo te devni yon objè degoutan e lèd, yon peyi sèk, yon dezè, yon peyi kote moun pa viv e pami sila, yon fis a lòm pa menm pase.
44 I wil also visite Bel in Babel, and I wil bring out of his mouth, that which he hath swallowed vp, and the nations shall runne no more vnto him, and the wall of Babel shall fall.
Mwen va pini Bel nan Babylone e Mwen va fè sa li te vale a sòti nan bouch li. Nasyon yo p ap kouri ankò kote li. Menm miray Babylone nan va tonbe!
45 My people, go out of the middes of her, and deliuer yee euery man his soule from the fierce wrath of the Lord,
“Sòti nan mitan li, pèp Mwen an e nou chak sove tèt nou de kòlè SENYÈ a.
46 Least your heart euen faynt, and ye feare the rumour, that shalbe heard in the land: the rumour shall come this yeere, and after that in the other yeere shall come a rumour, and crueltie in the land, and ruler against ruler.
Alò, pa kite kè nou vin febli e pa pè rapò k ap tande nan tout peyi a, paske rapò a va rive nan yon ane, e apre yon lòt rapò nan yon lòt ane, gen vyolans nan peyi a, e yon wa kont yon lòt wa.
47 Therefore beholde, the dayes come, that I will visite the images of Babel, and the whole land shalbe confounded, and all her slayne shall fall in the middes of her.
Pou sa, gade byen, jou yo ap vini lè Mwen va pini zidòl taye a Babylone yo. Konsa, tout peyi li a va vin wont, e tout mò li yo va tonbe nan mitan li.
48 Then the heauen and the earth, and all that is therein, shall reioyce for Babel: for the destroyers shall come vnto her from the North, saith the Lord.
Answit, syèl ak tè a ak tout sa ki ladann va rele fò ak jwa sou Babylone; paske destriktè yo va vin kote li soti nan nò,” deklare SENYÈ a.
49 As Babel caused the slaine of Israel to fal, so by Babel the slaine of all the earth did fall.
“Anverite, Babylone gen pou tonbe pou sila ki te touye an Israël yo. Menm jan pou Babylone an, moun de tout peyi a va tonbe.
50 Ye that haue escaped the sworde, goe away, stand not still: remember the Lord a farre of, and let Ierusalem come into your minde.
Nou menm ki te chape anba nepe yo, sòti! Pa rete menm! Sonje SENYÈ a de lwen; kite Jérusalem parèt nan lespri ou.
51 Wee are confounded because wee haue heard reproch: shame hath couered our faces, for straungers are come into the Sanctuaries of the Lordes House.
“Nou vin wont akoz nou te tande repwòch. Wont lan fin kouvri figi nou, paske etranje yo te antre kote ki sen lakay SENYÈ a.”
52 Wherefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I will visite her grauen images, and through all her land the wounded shall grone.
“Pou sa, gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Lè Mwen va fè jijman sou zidòl taye yo. Konsa, sila ak blesi mòtèl yo va plenyen nan tout peyi li a.
53 Though Babel should mount vp to heauen, and though shee should defend her strength on hye, yet from mee shall her destroyers come, sayth the Lord.
Malgre Babylone ta monte nan syèl la, e malgre li ta ranfòse sitadèl li a; destriktè yo va soti kote Mwen, e destriktè yo va rive kote li”, deklare SENYÈ a.
54 A sound of a cry commeth from Babel, and great destruction from the land of the Caldeans,
“Bri a gwo kri k ap sòti Babylone, ak gwo destriksyon k ap soti nan peyi Kaldeyen yo!
55 Because the Lord hath layde Babel waste and destroyed from her the great voyce, and her waues shall roare like great waters, and a sounde was made by their noyse:
Paske SENYÈ a va detwi Babylone. Li va fè gran vwa a li te konn fè a sispann; vag lanmè yo ki tap gwonde kon anpil dlo, ak gwo son a vwa yo ki tap retanti toupatou.
56 Because the destroyer is come vpon her, euen vpon Babel, and her strong men are taken, their bowes are broken: for the Lord God that recompenceth, shall surely recompence.
Paske sila k ap detwi a fin rive sou li, sou Babylone nan menm. Mesye pwisan li yo fin kaptire. Banza yo fin kraze nèt. Paske SENYÈ a se yon Bondye k ap bay rekonpans. L ap rekonpanse nèt.
57 And I will make drunke her princes, and her wise men, her dukes, and her nobles, and her strong men: and they shall sleepe a perpetuall sleepe, and not wake, sayth the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.
Mwen va fè prens li yo ak saj li yo sou; menm majistra li yo ak prefè li yo. Konsa, yo ka dòmi yon dòmi san rete pou yo pa leve menm”, deklare Wa a, ki rele SENYÈ dèzame yo.
58 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, The thicke wall of Babel shalbe broken, and her hie gates shall be burnt with fire, and the people shall labour in vaine, and the folke in ye fire, for they shalbe weary.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Miray Babylone nan ki tèlman laj va vin demoli nèt. Wo pòtay li yo va pran dife. Donk, pèp yo va travay di pou ryen, e nasyon yo va bouke nèt akoz dife a.”
59 The worde which Ieremiah the Prophet commanded Sheraiah the sonne of Neriiah, the sonne of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the King of Iudah into Babel, in the fourth yeere of his reigne: and this Sheraiah was a peaceable prince.
Mesaj ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te kòmande Seraja, fis a Nérija a, pitit pitit gason a Machséja, lè l te ale ak Sédécias, wa Juda a, Babylone nan katriyèm ane règn li a. (Alò, Seraja te chèf dirijan lakay wa a.)
60 So Ieremiah wrote in a booke all the euill that should come vpon Babel: euen al these things, that are written against Babel.
Konsa, Jérémie te ekri nan yon sèl woulo tout malè ki ta rive sou Babylone yo, sa vle di tout pawòl sila ki te ekri konsènan Babylone yo.
61 And Ieremiah sayd to Sheraiah, Whe thou commest vnto Babel, and shalt see, and shalt reade all these wordes,
Epi Jérémie te di a Seraja: “Depi ou vini Babylone, alò, fè si ke ou li tout pawòl sila yo a wot vwa,
62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to destroy it, that none should remaine in it, neither man nor beast, but that it should be desolate for euer.
Epi di: ‘Ou menm, O SENYÈ! Ou te pwomèt, konsènan plas sa a pou koupe retire l nèt, pou pa menm gen anyen ki rete ladann, ni lòm, ni bèt, men li va yon kote dezole jis pou tout tan’.
63 And when thou hast made an ende of reading this booke, thou shalt binde a stone to it, and cast it in the middes of Euphrates,
Konsa, li va fèt ke depi ou fin li woulo sa a, ou va mare yon wòch sou li e jete l nan mitan rivyè Euphrate la.
64 And shalt say, Thus shall Babel be drowned, and shall not rise from the euil, that I will bring vpon her: and they shall be weary. Thus farre are the wordes of Ieremiah.
Ou va di: ‘Se konsa Babylone va fonse desann pou l pa leve ankò, akoz malè ke Mwen va mennen sou li; epi yo va vin bouke nèt.’” Jiska prezan, sa se pawòl a Jérémie yo.
