Jeremi 47
1 Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi sou peyi Filisti a, anvan farawon an t' al atake Gaza.
Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning [the] Philistines before he struck Pharaoh Gaza.
2 Seyè a di konsa: -Gade! Bò nan nò, dlo yo ap gonfle, y'ap fè yon gwo lavalas k'ap desann, y'ap anvayi peyi a, y'ap kouvri tou sa ki ladan l'. Y'ap anvayi lavil yo ak tout moun ladan yo. Moun ap rele, y'ap plenn. Tout moun nan peyi a nan gwo lapenn.
Thus - he says Yahweh here! waters [are] rising from [the] north and they will become a torrent overflowing and they may overflow a land and what fills it a city and [those who] dwell in it and they will cry out everyone and he will wail every inhabitant of the land.
3 Lè y'a tande bri zago chwal yo ap frape tè a, bri cha lagè yo k'ap kouri vini ak bri wou yo k'ap woule atè a, papa p'ap ka fè anyen pou pitit yo, tèlman y'a dekouraje.
From [the] sound of [the] stamping of [the] hooves of mighty [horses] its from [the] rattling of chariotry its [the] din of wheels its not they have turned back fathers to children from slackness of hands.
4 Lè a rive pou yo ravaje tout peyi Filisti a nèt, pou yo disparèt tout rès moun ki t'ap bay lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon konkou. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap detwi tout moun Filisti yo, tout moun ki soti nan lil Krèt la.
On the day which is coming to devastate all [the] Philistines to cut off to Tyre and to Sidon every survivor helping for [is] about to devastate Yahweh [the] Philistines [the] remnant of [the] coastland of Caphtor.
5 Moun Gaza yo nan gwo lapenn, yo kale tèt yo. Moun Askalon yo pa ka pale. Kilè rès moun nan fon Filisti a va sispann kòche kò yo ak kouto pou plenn sò mò yo?
It will come baldness to Gaza it will be silent Ashkelon O remnant of valley their until when? will you cut yourself.
6 Adye! Kilè nepe Seyè a va sispann touye moun? Tounen nan djenn ou! Rete tou dousman, poze kò ou la!
Alas! O sword of Yahweh until when? not you will be inactive gather yourself to sheath your rest and be still.
7 Men, ki jan pou li fè poze lè Seyè a ba li lòd travay? Li gen pou l' ale jouk lavil Askalon dèyè moun ki rete bò lanmè a. Se la mwen voye l' ale.
How? will you be inactive and Yahweh he has commanded it against Ashkelon and against [the] coast of the sea there he has appointed it.
