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 Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath 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 more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.
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!
Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.
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, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.
6 Y'ap rele: Kouri non, sove lavi nou! Al kache tankou bourik mawon nan dezè a.
Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye 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 thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh 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 come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah 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, for she utterly goeth out, 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 Jehovah 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.
Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath 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, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they dash 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 ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have 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 ye 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.
Spoiled is Moab, and her cities hath one gone up, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, Jehovah 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.
Near is the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction hath hasted 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 ye round about him, And all knowing his name, say ye: How hath it 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 honour, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab hath come up to thee, He hath destroyed thy fenced places.
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.
On the way stand, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What hath 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.
Put to shame hath been Moab, For it hath been broken down, Howl and cry, declare ye in Arnon, For spoiled is Moab,
21 Jou jijman an rive pou lavil yo ki sou platon an: Olon, Jasa ak Mefat,
And judgment hath come in unto the land of the plain — unto Holon, And unto 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.
Cut down hath been the horn of Moab, And his arm hath been broken, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath 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 not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan thyself.
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, Ye 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, Exceeding 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 — I have known, an affirmation of Jehovah, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His devices — not right they have done.
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 for Moab I howl, even for Moab — all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it doth mourn,
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 thee, O vine of Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest, A spoiler hath 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 removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting [is] no 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 unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even 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 to Moab, An affirmation of Jehovah, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making perfume 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 for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.
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 — [is] lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 hath it been broken down! they have howled, How hath Moab turned the neck ashamed, And Moab hath been for a derision. And for a terror to all round about 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 Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto 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.
Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath 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 hath been destroyed from [being] a people, For against Jehovah he exerted himself.
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 gin, [are] for thee, O inhabitant of Moab — an affirmation of Jehovah,
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.
Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her — unto Moab — The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth 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 thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh, For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy 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, An affirmation of Jehovah! Hitherto [is] the judgment of Moab.
