Jeremias 31
1 Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.
Seyè a di ankò: -Lè sa a, m'ap Bondye tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la. Yo tout y'ap vin pèp pa mwen.
2 There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after you shall go a sword;
Nan dezè a mwen te aji ak bon kè ak moun ki te chape anba lanmò nan lagè. Moun Izrayèl yo pral resi viv ak kè poze.
3 for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.
Byen lwen, Seyè a te fè m' wè li. Li t'ap di: Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl, mwen p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Se poutèt sa m'ap toujou aji byen ak nou.
4 Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora:
Bèl pèp Izrayèl mwen sa a, m'ap rebati peyi nou an. Peyi nou an va kanpe ankò. Nou pral dekwoke tanbouren nou yo ankò. Nou pral danse ak kè kontan.
5 for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; you have heard a cry of destruction.
Nou pral plante rezen sou tout mòn Samari yo. Moun ki va plante se yo ki va rekòlte.
6 Flee you, and save your lives, and you shall be as a wild ass in the desert.
Wi, lè sa a moun k'ap veye yo va rete sou mòn Efrayim yo, y'a rele byen fò: Annou wè! Ann moute mòn Siyon, bò kot Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
7 Since you have trusted in your strong-hold, therefore you shall be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.
Seyè a di ankò: -Chante ak kè kontan pou pèp Izrayèl la! Pi gwo nasyon pase l' nanpwen. Fè yo tande jan n'ap chante pou Bondye. Seyè a delivre pèp li a. Li delivre sa ki te rete nan pèp Izrayèl la.
8 And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.
Wi, se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap mennen yo sot nan nò. M'ap ranmase yo nan dènye bout latè. Sa ki avèg, sa k'ap bwete, fanm ki ansent, fanm ki gen tranche, yo tout ap vin ansanm. Se yon foul moun k'ap tounen.
9 Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her?
Sou tout wout la y'ap lapriyè, y'ap kriye de ran dlo, antan m'ap mennen yo tounen. M'ap fè yo pran yon wout plat kote yo p'ap bite, jouk yo rive bò sous dlo yo. Mwen tankou yon papa pou pèp Izrayèl la. Efrayim se premye pitit gason m'.
10 Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.
Seyè a di ankò: -Nou menm lòt nasyon yo, koute sa m'ap di: Mache fè konnen l' nan tout zile ki byen lwen yo. Di yo: Seyè a te gaye tout pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm ki pral sanble yo ankò. Mwen pral okipe yo, tankou gadò k'ap okipe mouton l'.
11 Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.
Mwen libere moun fanmi Jakòb yo. Mwen delivre yo anba men yon nasyon ki te pi fò pase yo.
12 Therefore, behold, his days come, says the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.
Y'ap vini sou mòn Siyon an, y'ap chante tèlman y'ap kontan. Y'a kontan anpil pou tou sa Seyè a pral ba yo. L'ap ba yo ble, diven, lwil fre, mouton, kabrit, bèf. Y'ap tankou yon jaden byen wouze. Y'ap gen tou sa yo bezwen.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.
Jennfi yo va danse tèlman y'a kontan. Jennjan ansanm ak granmoun gason yo va kontan tou. M'ap wete lapenn nan kè yo, m'ap fè yo kontan. M'ap fè yo pran kouraj. Nan mitan chagren yo, m'ap fè yo kontan.
14 How will you say, We are strong, and men strong for war?
M'ap fè prèt yo manje vyann gra kont kò yo. Pèp mwen an va jwenn tou sa yo bezwen nan tout bon bagay m'a ba yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
15 Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Yo tande yon sèl rèl nan Rama. Yo tande kriye ak gwo anmwe. Se Rachèl k'ap kriye pou pitit li yo. Li pa vle kite pesonn konsole l' paske pitit li yo mouri.
16 The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance].
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Sispann rèl ou yo, Rachèl. Siye dlo nan je ou. Sa ou te fè pou pitit ou yo p'ap pèdi. Y'ap tounen soti nan peyi lènmi yo.
17 Shake [the head] at him, all you that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say you, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!
Gen bèl espwa pou ou denmen. Pitit ou yo pral tounen nan peyi yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
18 Come down from [your] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against you one to ravage your strong-hold.
Mwen tande moun Izrayèl yo ap plenn. Y'ap di konsa: -Seyè, nou te tankou yon ti towo mawon. Men, ou donte nou, ou moutre nou jan pou nou obeyi ou. Fè nou tounen vin jwenn ou, paske ou se Seyè a, Bondye nou an.
19 Stand by the way, and look, you that dwell in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?
Nou te vire do ba ou, men, koulye a nou vle tounen vin jwenn ou. Sa te fè nou lapenn, nou rekonèt sa nou te fè a mal. Nou te wont, nou te bese tèt nou atè, paske nou te peche nan tan jennès nou.
20 Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.
Izrayèl, nou se pitit gason mwen pi renmen an, pitit mwen pi pito a. Chak fwa non nou vin nan bouch mwen pou m' pini nou, mwen chonje jan mwen renmen nou. Se poutèt sa mwen fèb pou nou, m'a gen pitye pou nou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
21 And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,
Mete mak sou tout wout la, plante jalon sou tout chemen an. Jwenn chemen ou te pran lè ou taprale a. Tounen non, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, tounen lakay nou nan lavil ki pou nou yo.
22 and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,
Kilè n'a sispann drive deyò, bann wòklò! Mwen fè yon bagay tou nèf nan peyi a: Koulye a se fanm k'ap liyen gason.
23 and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di ankò: -Lè m'a fè pèp mwen an tounen lakay li, men sa yo pral mache di ankò nan tout peyi Jida ak nan tout lavil li yo: Se pou Seyè a beni mòn ki apa pou li a, mòn kote Bondye k'ap delivre a rete a.
24 and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.
Se sou mòn sa a moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun tout lavil yo pral rete. Se la moun k'ap travay latè yo ansanm ak moun k'ap gade mouton yo pral rete tou.
25 The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.
Mwen pral bay tout moun ki bouke yo kouraj. Mwen pral plen vant tout moun k'ap mouri grangou yo.
26 Make you him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing stock.
Lè sa a, pèp la va di: M' al dòmi. Lè m' leve, mwen wè dòmi an te bon pou mwen.
27 For surely Israel was to you a laughing stock, and was found among your thefts, because you did fight against him.
Talè konsa mwen pral simen moun ak bèt nan tout peyi Izrayèl la ak nan tout peyi Jida a. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
28 The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and lived in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.
Menm jan mwen te pran san m' pou m' te derasinen yo, lage yo atè, demoli yo, detwi yo, fè malè sou yo, se konsa tou mwen pral pran san m' pou m' rebati yo, pou m' replante yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
29 And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.
Lè sa a, pesonn p'ap di ankò: Papa ak manman te manje rezen vèt, se dan timoun yo ki gasi.
30 But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?
Moun ki manje rezen vèt la, se li menm ki va gen dan gasi. Chak moun va mouri pou sa li fè ki mal.
31 Therefore howl you for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for you,
Seyè a di ankò: Lè a pral rive, mwen pral pase yon lòt kontra avèk moun peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun peyi Jida yo.
32 O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: your branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon your fruits, [and] upon your grape gatherers.
Se p'ap tankou kontra mwen te pase avèk zansèt yo a lè m' te pran men yo pou m' te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip. Atout se mwen ki te mèt yo, yo pa t' kenbe kontra mwen an. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa!
33 Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in your presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.
Men kontra mwen pral pase ak pèp Izrayèl la. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Lè sa a, m'ap mete prensip mwen yo anndan kè yo, m'ap make lòd mwen yo nan lespri yo. M'a tounen Bondye pou yo, y'a tounen yon pèp pou mwen.
34 From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.
Pesonn p'ap bezwen moutre lòt moun nan peyi a kouman pou yo chache konnen Seyè a, paske yo tout ap konnen m', depi sa ki pi piti a jouk sa ki pi gran an. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. M'a padonnen sa yo fè ki mal, mwen p'ap chonje peche yo ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
35 And I will destroy Moab, says the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.
Seyè a mete solèy la pou l' klere lajounen. Li bay lalin ak zetwal yo lòd pou yo klere lannwit. Li eksite lanmè a, li fè l' move. Se li menm ki Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a: Se konsa yo rele l'.
36 Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him.
Toutotan prensip sa yo va kenbe, se toutotan pèp Izrayèl la va yon nasyon devan mwen. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
37 They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth.
Si yon jou yo ka rive mezire wotè syèl la, si yo ka rive konnen fondasyon latè a, konsa tou, yon jou mwen ka rive voye tout pèp Izrayèl la jete poutèt tou sa yo fè ki mal. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
38 And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], says the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Pa rete lontan ankò, yo pral rebati tout lavil Jerizalèm pou Seyè a, depi gwo fò Ananyèl la jouk Pòtay Kwen an.
39 How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.
Limit lavil la va konmanse la, l'a pran direksyon ti mòn Garèb la sou bò lwès, l'a vire bò Goa.
40 For thus said the Lord;
Y'a pran tout fon ki sèvi pou antere kadav ak pou boule fatra a, tout tè ki soti depi bò ravin Sedwon an rive nan kwen Pòtay Chwal yo sou bò lès, y'a mete yo apa pou mwen. Yo p'ap janm kraze, ni yo p'ap janm demoli yo ankò.
41 Carioth is taken, and the strongholds have been taken together.
42 And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.
43 A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon you, O inhabitant of Moab.
44 He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.
