Jeremi 51
1 Seyè a di konsa: -Mwen pral fè yon gwo van soufle sou lavil Babilòn pou detwi l' ansanm ak tout moun li yo.
Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I wil raise vp against Babel, and against the inhabitants that lift vp their heart against me, a destroying wind,
2 Wi, m'ap voye etranje nan peyi a. Y'ap gaye l' tankou van k'ap bwote pay chèch, y'ap ravaje peyi a. Lè jou malè sa a va rive, y'ap soti toupatou vin tonbe sou li.
And wil send vnto Babel fanners that shall fanne her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shalbe against her on euery side.
3 Pa bay sòlda yo chans pou yo tire banza yo, ni pou yo mete rad batay yo sou yo. Pa kite jenn gason yo chape. Touye tout lame a pou Bondye.
Also to the bender that bendeth his bowe, and to him that lifteth himselfe vp in his brigandine, will I say, Spare not her yong men, but destroy all her hoste.
4 Nan tout peyi Babilòn lan moun ap tonbe mouri. Nan tout lari flèch ap pèse yo pak an pak.
Thus the slaine shall fall in the lande of the Caldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streetes.
5 Paske mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye moun peyi Izrayèl ak moun peyi Jida yo, mwen pa lage yo, atout yo koupab devan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.
For Israel hath bene no widowe, nor Iudah from his God, from the Lord of hostes, though their lande was filled with sinne against the holy one of Israel.
6 Kouri kite lavil Babilòn! Kouri chape kò nou. Pa kite yo touye nou pou mechanste moun pa li yo. Lè a rive pou m' tire revanj mwen. M'ap pini l' pou sa li fè m' lan.
Flee out of the middes of Babel, and deliuer euery man his soule: be not destroyed in her iniquitie: for this is the time of the Lordes vengeance he will render vnto her a recompence.
7 Babilòn te tankou yon gode fèt an lò nan men mwen. Li t'ap fè tout nasyon sou latè sou. Yo bwè nan diven l' lan, y'ap depale.
Babel hath bene as a golden cuppe in the Lordes hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations haue drunken of her wine, therefore do the nations rage.
8 Men Babilòn rete konsa li tonbe, li kraze. Plenn sò li! Chache renmèd pou doulè l' yo. Nou pa janm konnen, li ka geri.
Babel is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howle for her, bring balme for her sore, if she may be healed.
9 Etranje k'ap viv nan peyi a di konsa: Nou fè sa nou kapab pou n' geri Babilòn. Pa gen gerizon pou li. Annou kite peyi a. Ann ale, chak moun nan peyi pa yo, paske peche l' yo fè pil rive jouk nan syèl, yo pi wo pase nwaj yo.
We would haue cured Babel, but she could not be healed: forsake her, and let vs go euery one into his owne countrey: for her iudgement is come vp vnto heauen, and is lifted vp to ye cloudes.
10 Pèp Izrayèl la di: Seyè a fè wè kòz nou an bon, li ban nou jistis. Ann al rakonte moun lavil Jerizalèm yo sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè.
The Lord hath brought forth our righteousnesse: come and let vs declare in Zion the worke of the Lord our God.
11 Bondye moute tèt tout wa peyi Medi yo, li fè yon plan pou l' detwi Babilòn. Se konsa l'ap tire revanj li pou detwi yo menm jan yo te detwi tanp li an. Fè pwent flèch yo byen pwenti! Plen sak yo flèch!
Make bright the arrowes: gather the shieldes: the Lord hath raised vp the spirit of the King of the Medes: for his purpose is against Babel to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, and the vengeance of his Temple.
12 Leve drapo a! Bay siyal pou yo atake miray Babilòn yo! Double faksyonnè yo! Mete sòlda ap veye. Pare anbiskad pou yo. Seyè a fè plan li, li fè sa li te di l'ap fè moun Babilòn yo.
Set vp the standart vpon the walles of Babel, make the watch strong: set vp the watchmen: prepare the skoutes: for the Lord hath both deuised, and done that which he spake against the inhabitantes of Babel.
13 Nou menm ki rete nan peyi ki gen anpil rivyè a, nou menm ki gen anpil richès, men nou rive mezi bout nou! Nou fè kont nou koulye a.
O thou that dwellest vpon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine ende is come, euen the ende of thy couetousnes.
14 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a fè sèman sou tèt li: li pral mennen anpil moun vin atake Babilòn, y'ap tankou yon bann krikèt. Yo pral rele, yo pral chante dèske yo kraze ou.
The Lord of hostes hath sworne by him selfe, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers, and they shall cry and shoute against thee.
15 Seyè a te fè latè ak fòs pouvwa li. Li kreye dènye bagay ak bon konprann li. Avèk entèlijans li, li louvri syèl la anwo latè.
He hath made the earth by his power, and established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion.
16 Li pase lòd, epi dlo ki anwo syèl la pran gwonde. Li fè gwo nwaj yo moute soti toupatou. Li fè zèklè yo klere pou fè lapli vini. Li fè van yo soti kote li te sere yo.
Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to raine, and bringeth forth the winde out of his treasures.
17 Lè konsa tout moun rete egare, yo pa konprann anyen. Moun k'ap fè zidòl yo wont sa yo fè a, paske bondye yo fè yo se fo bondye, yo pa gen lavi nan yo.
Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.
18 Yo pa vo anyen. Yo bon pou pase nan betiz. Y'ap disparèt lè Seyè a ap vin regle ak yo.
They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 Men, Bondye Jakòb la pa tankou yo. Se li menm ki fè tout bagay. Li chwazi pèp Izrayèl la pou rele l' pa l'. Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, se konsa yo rele l'.
The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name.
20 Seyè a di ankò: -Babilòn, ou te yon gwo mato nan men mwen, yon zam pou m' fè lagè. Se avè ou mwen te kraze nasyon yo. Se avè ou mwen te kraze peyi wa yo.
Thou art mine hammer, and weapons of warre: for with thee will I breake the nations, and with thee wil I destroy kingdomes,
21 Se avè ou mwen te kraze chwal yo ak tout kavalye yo. Se avè ou mwen te kraze cha lagè yo ak tout moun ki t'ap mennen yo.
And by thee wil I breake horse and horseman, and by thee will I breake the charet and him that rideth therein.
22 Se avè ou mwen te kraze fanm kou gason, granmoun kou timoun, jenn gason kou jenn fi.
By thee also will I breake man and woman, and by thee wil I breake olde and yong, and by thee wil I breake the yong man and the mayde.
23 Se avè ou mwen te touye bann mouton yo ak tout gadò yo. Se avè ou mwen te kraze kiltivatè yo ansanm ak tout chwal pou raboure latè. Se avè ou mwen te kraze tout chèf yo ak tout majistra yo.
I wil also breake by thee the shepheard and his flocke, and by thee will I breake the husband man and his yoke of oxen, and by thee will I breake the dukes and princes.
24 Seyè a di ankò: -Devan je nou tout, m'ap fè lavil Babilòn ansanm ak tout pèp li a peye tout mechanste li te fè lavil Jerizalèm yo.
And I will render vnto Babel, and to all the inhabitants of the Caldeans all their euil, that they haue done in Zion, euen in your sight, sayth the Lord.
25 Babilòn, ou tankou yon gwo mòn kote moun k'ap ravaje tout latè a soti. Koulye a, mwen pral regle avè ou. Mwen pral mete men sou ou. M'ap fè ou degrengole desann soti nan tèt wòch yo. M'ap fè mòn lan tounen yon gwo boukan dife.
Beholde, I come vnto thee, O destroying mountaine, sayth the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand vpon thee, and rolle thee downe from the rockes, and wil make thee a burnt mountaine.
26 Yo p'ap pran yon wòch nan ou ni pou fè fondasyon, ni pou fè kwen kay. Ou pral tounen yon dezè pou tout tan. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
They shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for euer, sayth the Lord.
27 Bay siyal nan tout peyi a pou yo atake. Kònen twonpèt nan tout nasyon yo. Pare tout nasyon yo pou y' al fè lagè ak Babilòn. Voye rele wa peyi Arara a, wa peyi Mini an, wa peyi Achkenaz la pou y' al atake l'. Chwazi chèf pou mennen batay la. Fè yo mennen anpil chwal ban nou pou yo menm kantite ak yon bann krikèt.
Set vp a standard in the lande: blowe the trumpets among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call vp the kingdomes of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz against her: appoynt the prince against her: cause horses to come vp as the rough caterpillers.
28 Pare tout nasyon yo pou y' al fè lagè ak Babilòn. Voye chache wa yo k'ap gouvènen nan peyi Medi a, ansanm ak tout prefè yo, tout majistra yo, tout lame nan peyi ki sou kontwol yo.
Prepare against her the nations with the Kings of the Medes, the dukes thereof, and the princes thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
29 Tout latè ap tranble, l'ap souke, paske lè plan travay Seyè a rive pou l' fèt. Li pral fè Babilòn tounen yon dezè kote p'ap gen pesonn ankò.
And the land shall tremble and sorow: for the deuise of the Lord shalbe performed against Babel, to make the lande of Babel waste without an inhabitant.
30 Sòlda lavil Babilòn yo derefize goumen. Yo rete kache nan fò yo. Yo pèdi tout kouraj yo, yo tankou fanm. Lènmi defonse pòtay lavil yo, yo mete dife nan kay yo.
The strong men of Babel haue ceased to fight: they haue remayned in their holdes: their strength hath fayled, and they were like women: they haue burnt her dwelling places, and her barres are broken.
31 Mesaje sou mesaje ap kouri brid sou kou al di wa Babilòn lan lènmi anvayi lavil li a nèt.
A post shall runne to meete the post, and a messenger to meete the messenger, to shew the King of Babel, that his citie is taken on a side thereof,
32 Yo bloke tout chemen yo, yo mete dife nan tout avanpòs yo, sòlda yo gaye.
And that the passages are stopped, and the reedes burnt with fire, and the me of war troubled.
33 Wi, men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay: Lavil Babilòn tankou yon glasi y'ap pare. Talè konsa yo pral kouche sòlda yo tankou grenn danre sou glasi.
For thus sayth the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, the daughter of Babel is like a threshing floore: the time of her threshing is come: yet a litle while, and the time of her haruest shall come.
34 Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, te devore lavil Jerizalèm, li manje l' nèt ale. Li kite peyi a vid tankou yon plat yo niche. Tankou yon gwo bèt lanmè, li vale m'. Li souse tout mwèl mwen. Lèfini, li voye rès la jete.
Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel hath deuoured me, and destroyed me: he hath made me an emptie vessel: he swallowed mee vp like a dragon, and filled his belly with my delicates, and hath cast me out.
35 Moun ki rete sou mòn Siyon yo di: Se pou lavil Babilòn peye tout lapenn ak mechanste li fè nou. Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te mèt di: Se pou moun peyi Kalde yo peye pou tout san nou yo fè koule a.
The spoyle of me, and that which was left of me, is brought vnto Babel, shall the inhabitant of Zion say: and my blood vnto the inhabitantes of Caldea, shall Ierusalem say.
36 Se konsa Seyè a pale ak moun Jerizalèm yo, li di yo: Se mwen menm k'ap pran kòz nou nan men. Mwen pran sou kont mwen pou m' fè yo peye sa yo fè nou. M'ap fè sous dlo lavil Babilòn yo cheche. P'ap gen yon tak dlo nan rivyè l' yo.
Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will maintayne thy cause, and take vengeance for thee, and I will drie vp the sea, and drie vp her springes.
37 Lavil Babilòn ap tounen yon pil mazi kote bèt nan bwa rete, yon dezè kote pesonn pa rete. Tout moun k'ap wè sa pral sezi, y'a mete men nan tèt.
And Babel shall be as heapes, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
38 Moun Babilòn yo ap gwonde tankou lyon, y'ap griyen dan yo tankou jenn lyon.
They shall rore together like lions, and yell as the lyons whelpes.
39 Lè y'a fin chofe kont yo, mwen menm m'ap pare yon fèt pou yo. M'ap fè yo sou, m'ap fè kè yo kontan. Lèfini, yo pral dòmi yon dòmi ki p'ap janm fini, yo p'ap janm leve ankò.
In their heate I will make them feastes, and I wil make them drunken, that they may reioyce, and sleepe a perpetual sleepe, and not wake, sayth the Lord.
40 M'ap fè mennen yo labatwa tankou yo mennen mouton, belye mouton ak bouk kabrit yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
I wil bring them downe like lambes to the slaughter, and like rams and goates.
41 Seyè a di konsa: -Gade! Yo pran lavil Babilòn. Yo mete men sou li, lavil ki te yon lwanj nan bouch tout moun lan. Yo fè l' tounen yon dezè nan mitan nasyon yo.
How is Sheshach taken! and howe is the glory of the whole earth taken! how is Babel become an astonishment among the nations!
42 Lanmè moute anvayi lavil Babilòn. Lanm lanmè yo move, yo kouvri lavil la.
The sea is come vp vpon Babel: he is couered with the multitude of the waues thereof.
43 Tout ti bouk li yo tounen yon dezè tou, san pa gen yon gout dlo ladan yo. Se raje toupatou. Pa gen pesonn ladan yo ankò. Pesonn pa pase la non plis.
Her cities are desolate: the land is dry and a wildernes, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth the sonne of man passe thereby.
44 M'ap regle Bèl, bondye Babilòn lan, m'ap fè l' rann tou sa li te vale a. Nasyon yo p'ap kouri vin nan pye l' ankò. Miray lavil Babilòn yo tonbe.
I wil also visite Bel in Babel, and I wil bring out of his mouth, that which he hath swallowed vp, and the nations shall runne no more vnto him, and the wall of Babel shall fall.
45 Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, kouri wete kò nou la! Chape kò nou pou nou pa pase tou, paske Seyè a move anpil sou lavil Babilòn.
My people, go out of the middes of her, and deliuer yee euery man his soule from the fierce wrath of the Lord,
46 Pa dekouraje. Pa kite bri k'ap kouri nan peyi a fè nou pè. Chak lanne yo fè kouri yon kalite bri. Yon lè yo di se mechanste k'ap fèt nan peyi a, yon lòt lè yo di se chèf k'ap goumen ak chèf pou pran pouvwa a.
Least your heart euen faynt, and ye feare the rumour, that shalbe heard in the land: the rumour shall come this yeere, and after that in the other yeere shall come a rumour, and crueltie in the land, and ruler against ruler.
47 Men jou yo rive pou m' regle ak vye zidòl Babilòn yo. Tout peyi a pral wont. Yo pral touye dènye moun ladan l'.
Therefore beholde, the dayes come, that I will visite the images of Babel, and the whole land shalbe confounded, and all her slayne shall fall in the middes of her.
48 Tout bagay nan syèl la ak sou latè a pral kontan, yo pral rele lè moun k'ap soti bò nan nò yo va vin ravaje lavil Babilòn. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Then the heauen and the earth, and all that is therein, shall reioyce for Babel: for the destroyers shall come vnto her from the North, saith the Lord.
49 Babilòn te lakòz anpil moun mouri toupatou sou latè. Koulye a se Babilòn ki pral tonbe, paske li te touye anpil moun nan pèp Izrayèl la.
As Babel caused the slaine of Israel to fal, so by Babel the slaine of all the earth did fall.
50 Seyè a pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki lavil Babilòn. Li di yo konsa: -Nou menm ki te chape anba lanmò, ale, pa rete! Nou te mèt byen lwen lakay nou, mete lide nou sou mwen, chonje lavil Jerizalèm!
Ye that haue escaped the sworde, goe away, stand not still: remember the Lord a farre of, and let Ierusalem come into your minde.
51 Nou di: nou te wont lè nou tande jan yo t'ap joure nou. Lawont fè nou bouche figi nou, paske moun lòt nasyon yo te mete pye yo nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a nan tanp lan.
Wee are confounded because wee haue heard reproch: shame hath couered our faces, for straungers are come into the Sanctuaries of the Lordes House.
52 Enben, men sa Seyè a di ankò: Lè a rive, mwen pral regle avèk zidòl lavil Babilòn yo. Nan tout peyi a moun blese yo pral plenn.
Wherefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I will visite her grauen images, and through all her land the wounded shall grone.
53 Menm si Babilòn ta rive moute nan syèl pou l' ta bati yon gwo fò moun pa ka rive pran, moun m'ap voye dèyè l' yo ap jwenn li, y'ap kraze l'. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
Though Babel should mount vp to heauen, and though shee should defend her strength on hye, yet from mee shall her destroyers come, sayth the Lord.
54 Seyè a di ankò: -Yon sèl rèl pete lavil Babilòn. Bri kouri yon gwo malè tonbe sou tout peyi a.
A sound of a cry commeth from Babel, and great destruction from the land of the Caldeans,
55 Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap detwi lavil Babilòn. Mwen fè l' pe bouch li. Menm si lavil Babilòn t'ap fè bri tankou lanmè lè li move, m'ap fè l' sispann rele.
Because the Lord hath layde Babel waste and destroyed from her the great voyce, and her waues shall roare like great waters, and a sounde was made by their noyse:
56 Wi, lènmi ap vin detwi lavil Babilòn. Y'ap mete men sou sòlda li yo. L'ap kraze tout banza yo. Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen se yon Bondye k'ap pini moun ki fè sa ki mal. M'ap fè yo peye pou sa yo fè.
Because the destroyer is come vpon her, euen vpon Babel, and her strong men are taken, their bowes are broken: for the Lord God that recompenceth, shall surely recompence.
57 M'ap soule chèf li yo, moun save ak majistra li yo, chèf lame ak sòlda li yo. Yo pral dòmi nèt ale, yo p'ap janm leve. Se mwen menm wa a ki pale, mwen menm yo rele Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
And I will make drunke her princes, and her wise men, her dukes, and her nobles, and her strong men: and they shall sleepe a perpetuall sleepe, and not wake, sayth the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes.
58 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: -Yo kraze gwo miray lavil Babilòn lan ratè. Yo boule gwo pòtay byen wo li yo. Pèp yo te travay pou gremesi. Tou sa yo te bat kò yo fè a tounen sann dife.
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, The thicke wall of Babel shalbe broken, and her hie gates shall be burnt with fire, and the people shall labour in vaine, and the folke in ye fire, for they shalbe weary.
59 Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, te gen yon chèf yo te rele Seraja ki te reskonsab kay wa a. Se te pitit Nerija, pitit pitit Maseja. Wa a te gen katran depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi a lè li pati pou Babilòn ansanm ak Seraja. Men lòd pwofèt Jeremi te bay Seraja.
The worde which Ieremiah the Prophet commanded Sheraiah the sonne of Neriiah, the sonne of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the King of Iudah into Babel, in the fourth yeere of his reigne: and this Sheraiah was a peaceable prince.
60 Jeremi te ekri nan yon liv tout malè ki gen pou tonbe sou lavil Babilòn ansanm ak tout lòt bagay li te di sou lavil la.
So Ieremiah wrote in a booke all the euill that should come vpon Babel: euen al these things, that are written against Babel.
61 Jeremi di Seraja konsa: -Lè w'a rive lavil Babilòn, pa bliye se pou ou li tou sa ki ekri nan liv la.
And Ieremiah sayd to Sheraiah, Whe thou commest vnto Babel, and shalt see, and shalt reade all these wordes,
62 Apre sa w'a di: Seyè! Ou te di ou gen pou detwi peyi sa a pou pa gen yon sèl moun ni yon sèl bèt rete ladan l' ankò. Ou te di peyi a gen pou tounen yon dezè pou tout tan!
Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to destroy it, that none should remaine in it, neither man nor beast, but that it should be desolate for euer.
63 Lè w'a fin li liv sa a, w'a mare l' sou yon wòch, w'a voye l' jete nan mitan larivyè Lefrat.
And when thou hast made an ende of reading this booke, thou shalt binde a stone to it, and cast it in the middes of Euphrates,
64 Apre sa, w'a di: Se konsa lavil Babilòn lan pral koule, li p'ap janm ka leve ankò apre malè mwen menm Seyè a, mwen pral voye sou li a. Se isit la pawòl pwofèt Jeremi yo fini.
And shalt say, Thus shall Babel be drowned, and shall not rise from the euil, that I will bring vpon her: and they shall be weary. Thus farre are the wordes of Ieremiah.
