Jeremiah 47
1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes 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 said YHWH: Behold, waters are going up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fullness, The city, and those dwelling in it, And men have cried out, And every inhabitant of the land has howled.
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 From the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, The noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned to sons, From 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 day that has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off every helping remnant from Tyre and from Sidon. For YHWH is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the island of Caphtor.
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 has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
Gaza vin chòv; Askalon te fin detwi nèt. O retay vale yo! Pandan konbyen de tan nou va blese pwòp chè nou?
6 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
“‘Ah nepe SENYÈ a! Pandan konbyen de tan ou va refize vin kalm? Ralanti, rantre nan fouwo a; repoze e rete trankil.’
7 How will it be quiet, And YHWH has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? He has appointed it there!”
“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.”
