< 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?
Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why [then] doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell 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, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir to them that were his heirs, 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 Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, [and] 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 flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, [saying], 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 those that are about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
6 Men apre sa, m'ap mete peyi Amon an kanpe ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, 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!
Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; [Is] wisdom no more in Teman? hath counsel perished from the prudent? hath their wisdom vanished?
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 ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time [that] I will visit him.
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 grape-gatherers come to thee, would they not leave [some] gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
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 uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbors, and he [is] not.
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 preserve [them] alive; and let thy widows trust 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 have assuredly drank; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of it].
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 Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all her cities shall be perpetual 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 rumor from the LORD, and an embassador is sent to the heathen, [saying], Assemble, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 Seyè a pral fè peyi a vin tou fèb nan mitan nasyon yo. Pesonn p'ap respekte nou.
For lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, [and] despised 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 terribleness hath deceived thee, [and] the pride of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the hight of the hill: though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as the 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.
Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all her 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 in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring [cities], saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in 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, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man], [that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me?
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 the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
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, at the cry the noise of it was 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 and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
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.
Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are faint-hearted; [there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
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 hath become feeble, [and] turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on [her]: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 Gade lavil tout moun te konnen an, lavil kote tout moun te gen kè kontan an! Pa gen yon moun ladan l'.
How is the city of praise not left, the city of my 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 cut off 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, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
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.
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and lay waste the men 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.
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, Fear [is] on every side.
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, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose 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, go up to the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, [which] 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 a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them [that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides of it, 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 Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] son of man dwell in 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 Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, 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, the chief of their might.
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 upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them towards all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts 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.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, [even] my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed 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 will destroy from thence the king and the princes, 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 it shall come to pass in the latter days, [that] I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
