Jeremi 49
1 Men sa Seyè a di sou moun peyi Amon yo: -Gen lè pa gen gason ankò nan peyi Izrayèl la? Pa gen moun pou defann tè zansèt yo a? Poukisa yo kite se moun k'ap sèvi Milkòm yo ki pran pòsyon tè fanmi Gad la pou yo? Poukisa se moun Amon yo ki rete nan lavil yo?
Against the children of Ammon. Thus saith the Lord: Hath Israel no sons? or hath he no heir? Why then hath Melchom inherited Gad: and his people dwelt in his cities?
2 Se sa ki fè men jou a ap rive. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale la a. Mwen pral fè moun ki rete Raba, kapital peyi Amon an, tande bri lagè. Lavil la pral tounen yon pil wòch. Yo pral boule ti bouk li yo ratè. Lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo va reprann tè ki te pou yo a.
Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will cause the noise of war to be heard in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and it shall be destroyed into a heap, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire, and Israel shall possess them that have possessed him, saith the Lord.
3 Nou menm moun lavil Esbon, plenn sò nou! Lavil Ayi fini! Medam lavil Raba yo, mare ren nou! Mete rad sak sou nou! Rele! Pran lari pou nou! Y'ap depòte Milkòm, bondye nou an, ansanm ak tout pè li yo ak tout chèf li yo!
Howl, O Hesebon, for Hai is wasted. Cry, ye daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with haircloth: mourn and go about by the hedges: for Melchom shall be carried into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.
4 Poukisa n'ap fè grandizè konsa? Jan nou te kontan fon nou yo! Men fon yo tonbe. Bann moun tèt di, nou te mete konfyans nou nan richès nou. Nou t'ap di: Pa gen moun ki ka penmèt yo atake nou!
Why gloriest thou in the valleys? thy valley hath flowed away, O delicate daughter, that hast trusted in thy treasures, and hast said: Who shall come to me?
5 Mwen pral fè yon sèl laperèz pran nou. Se mwen menm sèl mèt la, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa. Mwen pral fè tout vwazen nou yo fè nou tranble. Yo pral gaye nou. Chak moun pral kouri ale sou bò pa yo. P'ap gen pesonn pou fè yo sanble ankò.
Behold I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all that are round about thee: and you shall be scattered every one out of one another’s sight, neither shall there be any to gather together them that flee.
6 Men apre sa, m'ap mete peyi Amon an kanpe ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
And afterwards I will cause the captives of the children of Ammon to return, saith the Lord.
7 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di sou peyi Edon: -Pa gen moun ki gen bon konprann ankò lavil Teman an? Moun lespri yo pa konn sa pou yo di. Yo pèdi tout konprann yo!
Against Edom. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Theman? counsel is perished from her children: their wisdom is become unprofitable.
8 Nou menm moun lavil Dedan, vire do nou, kouri ale! Fè twou pou kache kò nou! Mwen pral fini ak moun Ezaou yo, paske lè pou m' regle ak yo a rive.
Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole, ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation.
9 Lè moun ap ranmase rekòt rezen, yo toujou kite dèyè pou moun k'ap vin grapiye yo. Lè vòlò antre lakay moun lannwit, yo annik pran sa yo bezwen.
If grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a bunch? if thieves in the night, they would have taken what was enough for them.
10 Men mwen menm, mwen pral kite moun Ezaou yo toutouni. Mwen pral fè moun konnen tout kachèt li yo. Konsa, nanpwen kache pou yo ankò. Tout ras moun Edon yo, tout fanmi yo ak tout moun nan vwazinaj yo pral disparèt.
But I have made Esau bare, I have revealed his secrets, and he cannot be hid: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he shall not be.
11 Pa gen pesonn k'ap rete pou di: Kite timoun ki san papa yo avè m'. M'a okipe yo. Vèv nou yo mèt konte sou mwen.
Leave thy fatherless children: I will make them live: and thy widows shall hope in me.
12 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Ata moun ki pa merite pou m' pini yo pral gen pou yo bwè gode chatiman an nèt ale. Se nou menm atò pou yo pa ta pini! Non. Yo p'ap pini nou? Se pou nou bwè nan gode chatiman an tou.
For thus saith the Lord: Behold they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup, shall certainly drink: and shalt thou come off as innocent? thou shalt not come off as innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink.
13 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap pale: Mwen fè sèman sou tèt mwen, m'ap fè lavil Bozra tounen yon dezè, yon pil vye mazi. Moun ap pase l' nan betiz, y'ap sèvi ak non l' pou bay madichon. Tout ti bouk nan vwazinaj li yo pral tounen yon pil vye mazi pou tout tan.
For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bosra shall become a desolation, and a reproach, and a desert, and a curse: and all her cities shall be everlasting wastes.
14 Jeremi di ankò: -Mwen te tande mesaj Seyè a bay la. Li te voye mesaje nan tout nasyon yo pou di yo sanble tout lame yo pou yo mache pran Edon, pou y' al goumen avè l'.
I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent to the nations: Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and let us rise up to battle.
15 Seyè a pral fè peyi a vin tou fèb nan mitan nasyon yo. Pesonn p'ap respekte nou.
For behold I have made thee a little one among the nations, despicable among men.
16 Se awogans ou ki fè ou pèdi tèt ou. Pa gen moun ki pè ou jan ou kwè l' la. Ou rete sou tèt gwo wòch yo, byen wo nan mòn yo. Ou te mèt bati kay ou byen wo tankou nich malfini, m'ap fè ou desann. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Thy arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart: O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, and endeavourest to lay hold on the height of the hill: but though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as an eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 Seyè a di ankò: Se konsa peyi Edon an pral tounen yon dezè k'ap bay gwo lapenn. Tout moun k'ap pase bò la pral pran sezisman, y'ap pè.
And Edom shall be desolate: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
18 Gwo malè sa ki te rive lavil Sodòm ak Gomò ansanm ak tout ti bouk nan vwazinaj yo, se malè sa a k'ap rive Edon tou. P'ap gen yon moun nan peyi a ankò. Pesonn p'ap rete la. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha, and the neighbours thereof, saith the Lord: there shall not a man dwell there, and there shall no son of man inhabit it.
19 Tankou yon lyon k'ap soti nan rakbwa bò larivyè Jouden an pou l' ale kote bèt yo ye nan savann yo, mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap vini, m'ap fè moun yo kouri kite peyi a anvan yo bat je yo. Lè sa a, se moun m'a chwazi a m'a mete pou gouvènen peyi a. Ki moun ki tankou m'? Ki moun ki ka koresponn avè m'? Ki chèf ki ka kenbe tèt avè m'?
Behold one shall come up as a lion from the swelling of the Jordan, against the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall abide me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?
20 Konsa, koute sa mwen soti pou m' fè moun Edon yo, sa mwen fè lide fè moun lavil Teman yo. Sèten, ata timoun yo, yo pral trennen pot ale. Yo pral devaste tout peyi a devan je yo.
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation.
21 Lè peyi Edon an tonbe, l'ap fè yon kokennchenn bri, latè ap tranble. Y'ap tande rèl moun yo jouk bò lanmè Wozo yo.
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the cry of their voice is heard in the Red Sea.
22 Tankou malfini k'ap plonje ak zèl li yo gran louvri, lènmi pral atake Bozra. Jou sa yo, vanyan sòlda peyi Edon yo pral pè tankou fanm ki gen tranche.
Behold he shall come up as an eagle, and fly: and he shall spread his wings over Bosra: and in that day the heart of the valiant ones of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.
23 Men sa Seyè a di sou peyi Damas la: -Moun lavil Amat ak moun lavil Apad yo gen kè kase paske yo tande move nouvèl. Tankou lanmè, yo boulvèse, yo pa ka rete an plas.
Against Damascus. Emath is confounded and Arphad: for they have heard very bad tidings, they are troubled as in the sea: through care they could not rest.
24 Moun Damas yo fèb, yo kouri met deyò. Yo pè, yon sèl tranbleman pran yo. Yo nan lapenn, yo gen kè kase tankou fanm ki gen tranche.
Damascus is undone, she is put to flight, trembling hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her as a woman in labour.
25 Gade lavil tout moun te konnen an, lavil kote tout moun te gen kè kontan an! Pa gen yon moun ladan l'.
How have they forsaken the city of renown, the city of joy!
26 Jou sa a, y'ap touye jenn gason nou yo nan tout lari. Tout sòlda yo pral mouri. Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets: and all the men of war shall be silent in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
27 M'ap mete dife nan miray Damas yo. Dife a ap boule palè wa Bennadad la.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, rind it shall devour the strong holds of Benadad.
28 Moun branch fanmi Keda yo ak chèf lavil Azò yo te pèdi batay la devan Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan. Men mesaj Seyè a bay sou yo: -Leve non! Ann mache pran Keda! Piye moun bò solèy leve yo.
Against Cedar and against the kingdoms of Asor, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon destroyed. Thus saith the Lord: Arise, and go ye up to Cedar, and waste the children of the east.
29 Pran tant yo, kabrit yo, mouton yo, rido tant yo ansanm ak tout lòt bagay ki nan tant yo. Pran chamo yo. Di byen fò nan zòrèy yo: Kote ou pase tout moun pè.
They shall take their tents, and their flocks: and shall carry off for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels: and they shall call fear upon them round about.
30 Nou menm moun lavil Azò, kouri met deyò, al kache kò nou nan twou! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Paske Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, fè lide pou l' kraze nou. Li soti pou l' fini ak nou.
Flee ye, get away speedily, sit in deep holes, you that inhabit Asur, saith the Lord: for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived designs against you.
31 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: Leve non! Ann al atake yon nasyon ki santi yo t' alèz san ankenn danje sou tèt yo! Pa gen pòtay nan lavil yo, ni ba fè pou fèmen yo. Yo la konsa san ankenn pwoteksyon.
Arise, and so up to a nation that is at ease, and that dwelleth securely, saith the Lord: they have neither gates, nor bars: they dwell alone.
32 Yo pral pran tout chamo yo, yo pral separe tout kabrit ak mouton yo. Wi, m'ap gaye yo nan tout direksyon, bann moun sa yo ki koupe cheve yo kout. Kote yo pase m'ap fè malè tonbe sou yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
And their camels shall be for a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle for a booty, and I will scatter into every wind them that have their hair cut round, and I will bring destruction upon them from I all their confines, saith the Lord.
33 M'ap fè zòn Azò a tounen yon dezè pou tout tan, kote bèt nan bwa rete. Pesonn p'ap rete ladan l' ankò. Ankenn moun p'ap viv la.
And Asor shall be a habitation for dragons, desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, nor son of man inhabit it.
34 Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi sou peyi Elam. Lè sa a, Sedesyas te fèk moute wa nan peyi Jida.
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, saying:
35 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: -Mwen pral touye tout sòlda peyi Elam ki gen ladrès pou sèvi ak banza yo. Se yo menm ki te fè tout fòs peyi a.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will break the bow of Elam, and their chief strength.
36 M'ap fè van leve nan tout direksyon pou soufle sou peyi Elam lan. M'ap gaye yo nan tout direksyon sou latè. M'ap mete tout moun li yo deyò. p'ap gen peyi sou latè kote ou p'ap jwenn yo.
And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the fear quarters of heaven: and I will scatter them into all these winds: and there shall be no nation, to which the fugitives of Elam shall not come.
37 M'ap fè moun Elam yo tranble devan lènmi yo, devan moun ki soti pou touye yo. M'ap fè gwo kòlè, m'ap voye gwo malè sou yo, m'ap lage yon gwo lame dèyè yo jouk m'a fini nèt ak yo.
And I will cause Elam to be afraid before their enemies, and in the sight of them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce wrath, saith the Lord: and will send the sword after them, till I consume them.
38 M'ap disparèt wa yo a ansanm ak tout lòt chèf yo. Se la m'ap mete fotèy mwen an. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
And I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy kings and princes from thence, saith the Lord.
39 Men, nan jou k'ap vini apre sa yo, m'ap mete peyi Elam lan kanpe ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
But in the latter days I will cause the captives of Elam, to return, saith the Lord.
