Jeremiah 46
1 The word of Yhwh which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
Sa ki te rive selon pawòl SENYÈ a a Jérémie, pwofèt la, konsènan nasyon yo.
2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh–necho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
Pou Égypte: konsènan lame Farawon Neco, wa Égypte la, ki te akote rivyè Euphrate nan Carkemisch, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te bat nèt nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a.
3 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
“Alinye pwotèj ak boukliye e pwoche pre pou batay la.
4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
Sele cheval, e monte sou do yo; pran pozisyon nou ak kas nan tèt! Netwaye tout lans yo, e mete abiman an bwonz!
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith Yhwh.
Poukisa mwen te wè sa? Yo pè nèt, y ap rale fè bak, mesye pwisan yo fin bat nèt, e sèl abri yo sove ale san gade dèyè. Se gwo laperèz tout kote!” deklare SENYÈ a.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
Pa kite sila ki pi rapid la sove ale, ni moun pwisan an chape poul li. Nan nò, akote rivyè Euphrate la, yo te glise, chape tonbe.
7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
Se kilès sa ki leve tankou rivyè Nil la, tankou rivyè ki gen dlo k ap jayi toupatou yo?
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
Égypte leve tankou rivyè Nil la, menm tankou rivyè ki gen dlo k ap jayi toupatou yo. Li te di: “Mwen va leve kouvri peyi sa a; anverite, Mwen va detwi vil la ak moun ki rete ladann yo.”
9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
An avan, cheval yo! Kouri tankou moun fou, cha lagè yo! Kite moun pwisan yo mache devan: Éthiopie ak Puth ki manevre boukliye a, Lidyen ki manevre e koube banza a.
10 For this is the day of the Lord Yhwh of Armies, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord Yhwh of Armies hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
Paske jou sa a se pou Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, yon jou vanjans, pou L kapab fè vanjans Li sou lènmi Li yo. Nepe a va devore vin satisfè, Li va bwè kont li nan san yo; paske va genyen yon sakrifis pou Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, nan peyi nò a, akote Larivyè Euphrate la.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.
Monte Galaad pou jwenn pomad gerizon an, O fi vyèj Égypte la! Anven nou te miltipliye remèd yo; nanpwen gerizon pou nou.
12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
Nasyon yo te tande de bagay wont ou an, e tè a plen ak kri detrès ou; paske yon gran gèrye tonbe sou gran gèye, e toulède tonbe atè ansanm.
13 The word that Yhwh spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
Sa se mesaj ke SENYÈ a te pale a Jérémie, pwofèt la, konsènan avni a wa Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, pou frape peyi Égypte la:
14 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour round about thee.
“Se pou nou deklare an Égypte e pwoklame nan Migdol; pwoklame tou nan Noph e nan Tachpanès; Di: ‘Pran pozisyon nou e kanpe, paske nepe fin devore sila ki antoure nou yo.’
15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because Yhwh did drive them.
Poukisa mesye pwisan nou yo vin pwostène? Yo pa kanpe akoz SENYÈ a te pouse yo desann.
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
Li fè anpil tonbe; anverite, yo tonbe youn kont lòt. Yo te di: ‘Kanpe! Annou retounen kote pwòp pèp pa nou, nan peyi natal nou, lwen nepe a sila k ap oprime a.’
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
Yo te kriye la: ‘Farawon, wa Égypte la, pa plis ke yon gwo bri; li te kite tan deziye a fin pase!’
18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is Yhwh of Armies, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
“Jan Mwen viv la,” deklare Wa a ki gen kon non Li, SENYÈ dèzame yo, “Anverite, youn ki parèt gran tankou Mòn Thabor pami mòn yo, oswa tankou Carmel akote lanmè a; se konsa lap vini.
19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
Prepare valiz ou pou egzil, O fi k ap demere an Égypte, paske Noph va devni yon dezolasyon; li va brile menm, pou l rete vid san moun ladann.
20 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
“Égypte se yon gazèl byen bèl, men yon gwo mouch ap vini soti nan nò. Li fin rive.
21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
Anplis, sòlda mèsenè etranje nan mitan li yo tankou jenn bèf yo byen angrese, paske yo menm tou te fin vire nèt; yo te sove ale ansanm. Yo pa t kanpe, paske jou malè pa yo fin rive sou yo; lè pinisyon pa yo.
22 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
Son li va soti kon yon sèpan; paske tankou yon lame, yo vini, yo rive kote li ak moun k ap pote rach.
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith Yhwh, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
“Yo va koupe forè li”, deklare SENYÈ a; anverite, li p ap twouve ankò; paske yo plis pase gwo lame krikèt volan. Fòs kantite yo depase kontwòl.
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
Fi Égypte la ap fè gwo wont; lap livre nan pouvwa moun nan nò yo.”
25 Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la di: “Gade byen, Mwen ap pini Amon ki rete Thebes la, Farawon e Égypte ansanm ak dye li yo ak wa li yo, menm Farawon ak sila ki mete konfyans nan li yo.
26 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith Yhwh.
Mwen va livre yo a sila k ap chache touye yo, menm nan men Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan ak nan men chèf li yo. Malgre sa, apre, li va vin gen moun ki rete ladann jan li te ye nan tan pase a.” deklare SENYÈ a.
27 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
Men pou ou menm, O! Jacob, sèvitè Mwen an, pa gen lakrent, ni pa twouble, O Israël! Paske ou wè, Mwen va sove nou soti lwen, e desandan nou yo soti nan peyi kaptivite yo. Jacob va retounen pou rete san twoub, ansekirite, san pèsòn ki pou fè l tranble.
28 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith Yhwh: for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
O Jacob, sèvitè Mwen an, pa gen lakrent!” deklare SENYÈ a: “paske, Mwen avèk ou. Paske Mwen va fè fen a tout nasyon kote Mwen te chase ou ale yo. Sepandan, Mwen p ap fè fen a ou menm; men Mwen va korije ou jan sa dwe fèt e Mwen p ap kite ou san pinisyon.”
