Jeremi 30
1 Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi:
CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON thus says the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed [them]? therefore has Melchol inherited Galaad, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?
2 -Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap pale avè ou. Ekri nan yon liv tou sa mwen te di ou.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbath a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.
3 Paske, talè konsa mwen pral fè pèp mwen an, moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo kanpe ankò. M'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt yo, y'a reprann peyi a pou yo ankò.
Howl, O Esebon, for Gai has perished; cry, you daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; for Melchol shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.
4 Men mesaj Seyè a voye bay moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo.
Why do you exult in the plains of the Enakim, you haughty daughter, that trust in [your] treasures, that say, Who shall come in to me?
5 Mwen tande moun ap rele anmwe. Tout moun tèt anba, yo pa konn sa pou yo fè.
Behold, I [will] bring terror upon you, says the Lord, from all the country round about you; and you shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you.
6 Mande sa ki genyen! Al gade non! Eske gason konn pouse pitit? Poukisa mwen wè tout gason men anba tivant tankou fanm ki gen tranche? Y'ap dekonpoze, figi yo rale.
7 Ala malè, mezanmi! Se yon gwo jou malè k'ap vini. Pa gen jou ki ka parèt devan li. Se va yon tan lafliksyon pou fanmi Jakòb la! Men, y'a chape anba l'.
8 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: Lè jou sa a va vini, m'a kraze jouk bèf ki dèyè kou yo a, m'a kase chenn ki nan ren yo a. Yo p'ap janm esklav moun lòt nasyon ankò.
9 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, y'a sèvi ansanm ak yon pitit David m'a mete wa sou yo.
10 Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm pitit Jakòb, sèvitè mwen an. Nou pa bezwen tranble, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl. M'ap vin delivre nou nan peyi lwen sa yo. M'ap vin sove pitit nou yo nan peyi kote yo te depòte nou an. N'ap tounen lakay nou pou nou viv ak kè poze, san pesonn pa chache nou kont ankò.
11 M'ap vin jwenn nou, m'ap sove nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap disparèt tout nasyon kote mwen te gaye nou yo. Nou menm, mwen p'ap detwi nou. Men, pou pini se pou m' pini nou, jan sa dwe fèt. Mwen p'ap kite anyen pou nou.
12 Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a ankò: Pou jan ou donmaje a, pa gen renmèd pou ou. Malenng ou an p'ap janm geri.
13 Pa gen pesonn pou defann kòz ou. Se vre, yo konn geri malenng. Men, pou malenng pa ou la, pa gen renmèd.
14 Tout moun ki t'ap fè lamou avè ou yo bliye ou. Yo yonn pa okipe ou ankò. Mwen frape ou, tankou si m' te lènmi ou. Pinisyon an te rèd pou ou, paske peche ou la te grav anpil. Ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste.
15 Poukisa w'ap plenyen pou jan ou donmaje a, pou soufrans ou ki pa ka fini an? Se paske peche ou la te grav anpil, ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste kifè mwen pini ou konsa.
16 Men, yon lè yo gen pou yo devore moun k'ap devore ou koulye a. Y'ap fè tout moun ki pa vle wè ou yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo. Y'ap piye moun k'ap piye ou yo. Y'ap fini ak moun k'ap fini avè ou yo.
17 Nou menm moun Siyon, yo te rele nou: moun yo mete deyò. Yo t'ap di: pa gen moun pou okipe nou. Men, se mwen menm k'ap ban nou renmèd, k'ap geri tout malenng nou yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
18 Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral fè moun fanmi Jakòb yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo. Mwen pral gen pitye pou chak fanmi. Yo pral rebati lavil yo sou anplasman vye mazi yo. Yo pral rebati gwo bèl kay yo kote yo te ye anvan an.
19 Y'a tande moun ap chante lakay yo, y'a tande moun ap rele tèlman yo kontan. M'ap fè yo peple, yo p'ap fin disparèt. M'ap fè moun fè lwanj yo. Moun p'ap meprize yo ankò.
20 Pitit gason yo va tankou nan tan lontan. M'ap fè peyi a kanpe byen fèm ankò devan mwen. M'a pini tout moun k'ap peze yo.
21 Se yonn nan nou ki va chèf nan peyi a. Wi, se nan mitan nou yon chèf va soti pou gouvènen nou. L'a vin jwenn mwen lè m'a rele l'. Paske pesonn p'ap pran chans vin jwenn mwen si mwen pa rele l'. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
22 Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'a ye ankò, mwen menm m'a Bondye yo.
23 Lè Bondye ankòlè se tankou yon van tanpèt, yon siklòn k'ap tonbe sou tèt mechan yo.
CONCERNING DAMASCUS. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest.
24 Li p'ap sispann toutotan li pa fin fè tou sa li soti pou li fè a. Nan jou k'ap vini yo, pèp la va konprann sa pi byen.
Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her.
How has she not left my city, they have loved the village?
Therefore shall the young men fall in your streets, and all your warriors shall fall, says the Lord.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader.
CONCERNING KEDAR THE QUEEN OF THE PALACE, WHOM NABUCHODONOSOR KING OF BABYLON SMOTE, thus says the Lord; Arise you, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem.
They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon you destruction against them from every side.
Flee you, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, you that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you.
Rise up, and go up against a nation settled [and] dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, [who] dwell alone.
And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, says the Lord.
And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there.
