Jeremi 48
1 Men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay sou peyi Moab la: -Ala malè pou moun lavil Nebo yo! Yo ravaje lavil la nèt ale. Moun lavil Kiryatayim yo wont! Lènmi anvayi lavil la, yo pran gwo fò a, yo kraze l' ratè!
Concerning Moab: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, for it is spoiled, Kiriathaim has been captured [and] put to shame, The high tower has been put to shame, Indeed, it has been broken down.
2 Peyi Moab la pèdi pouvwa li. Nan lavil Esbon yo fè plan pou yo detwi Moab. Yo di: Ann ale, ann disparèt peyi a sou latè! Yo fè lavil Madmèn pe bouch li. Yon gwo lame ap mache pran l'!
There is no longer praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised evil against her: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, you are cut off, A sword goes after you.
3 Moun lavil Owonayim yo ap rele: Men y'ap ravaje nou! Y'ap fè malè sou nou!
A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
4 Yo kraze peyi Moab. Tout pitit li yo ap rele!
Moab has been destroyed, Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Se dlo nan je y'ap moute lavil Loukit. Sou tout wout pou desann Owonayim, se gwo rèl pou malè ki rive yo!
For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Weeping goes up, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries have heard a cry of desolation.
6 Y'ap rele: Kouri non, sove lavi nou! Al kache tankou bourik mawon nan dezè a.
Flee, deliver yourselves, You are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
7 Ou te mete konfyans ou nan fòs ou ak nan richès ou yo! Ou menm tou, lènmi ap anvayi ou! Y'ap depòte Kemòch, bondye ou la, ansanm ak tout pè li yo ak tout chèf li yo.
For because of your trusting in your works, And in your treasures, even you are captured, And Chemosh has gone out in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
8 Malè pral tonbe sou tout lavil nou yo. Yo yonn p'ap chape anba l'. L'ap fini ak sa ki nan fon yo. L'ap ravaje sa ki sou platon yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
And a spoiler comes to every city, And no city escapes, And the valley has perished, And the plain has been destroyed, as YHWH said.
9 Pare yon mab pou mete sou tonm Moab. Talè konsa yo pral detwi l' nèt. Tout lavil peyi Moab yo fin kraze. P'ap gen yon moun rete la ankò.
Give wings to Moab, that she may go forth and flee away, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
10 Madichon pou moun ki pote neglijans nan fè travay Seyè a! Madichon pou moun ki derefize touye nan lagè a!
Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of YHWH slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
11 Peyi Moab te toujou viv san ankenn danje depi tout tan. Yo pa janm depòte moun li yo. Li te tankou diven yo kite poze nan barik, san yo pa janm vide l' sot nan yon veso mete l' nan yon lòt. Se konsa li pa janm pèdi gou l'. Li pa janm vante.
Moab is secure from his youth, And he [is] at rest for his preserved things, And he has not been emptied out from vessel to vessel, And he has not gone into captivity, Therefore his taste has remained in him, And his fragrance has not been changed.
12 Men lè a rive koulye a, se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Mwen pral voye moun pou yo vide peyi Moab la tankou diven. Yo pral devide veso yo. Yo pral kraze barik yo an miyèt moso.
Therefore, behold, days are coming, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sent wanderers to him, And they have caused him to wander, And they empty out his vessels, And they dash his bottles in pieces.
13 Moun peyi Moab yo pral wont Kemòch, bondye yo a, menm jan moun fanmi Izrayèl yo te wont bondye lavil Betèl ki te tout konfyans yo a.
And Moab has been ashamed because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel has been ashamed Because of Beth-El, their confidence.
14 Ki jan nou ka fè di: Nou se vanyan gason, sòlda brave danje ki konn fè lagè?
How do you say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
15 Yo fini ak peyi Moab. Yo anvayi tout lavil li yo. Yo ansasinen tout jenn gason ki pi bon lakay li yo. Se mwen menm Wa a, mwen menm yo rele Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
Moab is spoiled, and has gone up [from] her cities, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
16 Jou pou yo fini ak Moab la ap pwoche. Malè ki pral tonbe sou Moab la pa lwen rive.
The destruction of Moab is near to come, And his calamity has hurried exceedingly.
17 Nou menm, vwazen l' yo, plenn sò li! Nou tout ki te konnen jan l' te ye a, nou mèt di: Gade jan yo kraze gwo pouvwa li a! Bèl baton kòmandman ki te nan men l' lan disparèt.
Bemoan for him, all you around him, And all knowing his name, say, How it has been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty!
18 Nou menm k'ap viv lavil Dibon, desann sou bèl fotèy premye klas nou an. Mete dèyè nou atè nan pousyè a. Paske moun ki te fini ak Moab la ap vin pou nou. L'ap kraze tout gwo fò nou yo.
Come down from glory, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab has come up to you, He has destroyed your fortifications.
19 Nou menm k'ap viv lavil Awoyè. Rete sou bò wout la tann. Mande moun k'ap kouri met deyò yo sa ki pase.
Stand on the way, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What has happened?
20 Y'a reponn ou: Peyi Moab tonbe! Plenn sò li, pete rèl pou li: Yo fè l' wont! Fè tout moun ki rete bò ravin Anon an konnen yo ravaje peyi Moab la.
Moab has been put to shame, For it has been broken down, Howl and cry, declare in Arnon, For Moab is spoiled,
21 Jou jijman an rive pou lavil yo ki sou platon an: Olon, Jasa ak Mefat,
And judgment has come to the land of the plain—to Holon, And to Jahazah, and on Mephaath,
22 Didon, Nebo ak Bèt-Diblatayim,
And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,
23 Kiryatayim, Bèt-Gamoul, Bèt Meyon,
And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,
24 Keriyòt, Bozra. Jijman rive sou tout lavil peyi Moab yo, kit sa ki toupre, kit sa ki byen lwen.
And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.
25 Yo kraze lògèy moun Moab yo. Yo kraze kouraj yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale.
The horn of Moab has been cut down, And his arm has been broken, A declaration of YHWH.
26 Seyè a di ankò: -Fè lavil Moab sou, paske li te kenbe tèt avè m'. Se pou Moab woule nan vonmi l'. Li menm tou, se pou yo pase l' nan rizib.
Declare him drunk, For he made himself great against YHWH And Moab has struck in his vomit, And he has been for a derision—even he.
27 Chonje jan nou te konn ap pase pèp Izrayèl la nan rizib. Eske nou te janm bare yo ap fè bann ak vòlò kifè chak fwa n'ap pale sou yo, n'ap souke tèt nou, n'ap di podjab pou yo?
And was Israel not the derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For since your words concerning him, You bemoan yourself.
28 Nou menm moun Moab, kite lavil nou yo, al rete nan twou wòch. Fè tankou ranmye ki fè nich yo nan twou bò falèz.
Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, You inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit’s mouth.
29 Moun Moab yo se moun ki gen lògèy anpil. Nou te konnen jan moun sa yo te gen lògèy, jan yo te awogan. Yo te kwè wa pa kouzen yo, y'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun.
We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceedingly proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,
30 Men mwen menm Seyè a, mwen konnen yo te kwè twòp nan tèt yo. Bèl diskou yo t'ap fè yo se te pawòl nan bouch. Tou sa y'ap fè pa vo anyen.
I have known, a declaration of YHWH, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His boastings—they have done nothing right.
31 Se konsa, m'ap plenn sò moun Moab yo, m'ap rele pou tout peyi Moab yo, pou moun lavil Ki-Erès yo.
Therefore I howl for Moab, even for Moab—all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it mourns,
32 M'ap kriye pou moun lavil Sibma yo plis pase jan mwen te kriye pou moun lavil Jazè yo. Lavil Sibma te tankou yon gwo pye rezen. Branch li yo travèse lòt bò lanmè Mouri a, yo rive jouk lavil Jazè. Men koulye a, yo ravaje tout rekòt la, yo dechèpiye tout rezen nou te ranmase yo.
With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, Your branches have passed over a sea, They have come to the Sea of Jazer, On your summer fruits, and on your harvest, A spoiler has fallen.
33 Pa gen kè kontan ak fèt ankò nan jaden rezen peyi Moab yo. Pa gen yon degout diven ankò nan barik yo. Pa gen yon moun k'ap travay nan moulen pou fè diven. Nou pa tande yon moun ap bay ankourajman.
And joy and gladness have been removed from the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And I have caused wine to cease from winepresses, Shouting does not proceed, The shouting [is] not shouting!
34 Moun Esbon yo ap rele. Yo tande rèl yo jouk lavil Elealè, jouk lavil Jaaz, depi lavil Zoa jouk lavil Owonayim ak Eglat-Chelichya. Ata ti dlo Nimrim lan gen pou l' cheche.
Because of the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh, They have given their voice to Jahaz, From Zoar to Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even [the] waters of Nimrim become desolations.
35 M'ap disparèt moun lavil Moab yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap touye moun k'ap fè ofrann pou yo boule sou tèt mòn yo, moun k'ap boule lansan pou bondye yo.
And I have caused to cease in Moab, A declaration of YHWH, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making incense to his god.
36 Se poutèt sa, kè m' ap fè m' mal anpil pou moun Moab yo, pou moun Ki-Erès yo. M'ap plenn sò yo tankou moun k'ap jwe fif nan lantèman. Paske yo pèdi tou sa yo te genyen.
Therefore My heart sounds as pipes for Moab, And My heart sounds as pipes for men of Kir-Heres, Therefore the abundance he made perished.
37 Yo tout, yo kale tèt yo, yo koupe tout bab nan figi yo, yo kòche tout men yo ak kouto, yo mare sak nan ren yo.
For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands—cuttings, and on the loins—sackcloth.
38 Sou teras anwo tout kay peyi Moab yo, sou tout plas piblik, se plenn moun yo ap plenn. Mwen kraze peyi Moab tankou yon kannari pesonn pa bezwen ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it—lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure,” A declaration of YHWH.
39 Yo fini ak peyi Moab! Plenn sò li. Moab pèdi pye, li wont. Tout nasyon ki nan vwazinaj li yo ap pase l' nan rizib, yo tout sezi wè sa ki rive l'.
“How it has been broken down! They have howled, How Moab has turned the neck ashamed! And Moab has been for a derision And for a terror to all around her.”
40 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Tankou yon malfini, yon lènmi ap plane ak zèl li yo gran louvri sou Moab.
For thus said YHWH: “Behold, he flees as an eagle, And has spread his wings to Moab.
41 Li pran tout lavil yo, li mete men sou tout fò yo. Jou sa a, vanyan sòlda lame Moab yo te pè tankou yon fanm ki gen tranche.
The cities have been captured, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Has been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
42 Y'ap fini ak peyi Moab la, y'ap touye dènye moun ladan l', paske li te kenbe tèt ak Seyè a.
And Moab has been destroyed from [being] a people, For he exerted himself against YHWH.
43 Nou menm moun Moab yo, yo pral ban nou sezisman, y'ap fouye twou pou nou tonbe, y'ap pare pèlen pou nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [are] for you, O inhabitant of Moab—a declaration of YHWH,
44 Moun k'ap kouri pou sezisman pa pran yo pral tonbe nan twou. Lè y'a kouri soti nan twou a, y'ap pran nan pèlen. Paske dat Seyè a te fikse pou li pini Moab la rive sou li. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Whoever is fleeing because of the fear falls into the snare, And whoever is coming up from the snare is captured by the trap, For I bring to her—to Moab—The year of their inspection, A declaration of YHWH.
45 Moun k'ap kouri met deyò yo rive Esbon tou bouke. Y'ap chache pwoteksyon lavil Esbon, lavil kote wa Siyon t'ap gouvènen an: men yo jwenn li ap boule. Dife a gaye, li rive jouk sou fwontyè a, li moute rive jouk sou tèt mòn lwijanboje yo.
In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives have stood powerless, For fire has gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumes the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
46 Sa fè lapenn pou moun Moab yo! Tout moun ki t'ap sèvi Kèmòch yo fini. Yo pran pitit gason ak pitit fi yo, yo fè yo prizonye, yo depòte yo.
Woe to you, O Moab, The people of Chemosh have perished, For your sons were taken with the captives, And your daughters with the captivity.
47 Men nan jou k'ap vin apre yo, m'ap mete peyi Moab la kanpe ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Se tou sa ki pral rive moun Moab yo.
And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days,” A declaration of YHWH! “Until now [is] the judgment of Moab.”
