Jeremi 31
1 “Nan lè sa a”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Mwen va vin Bondye a tout fanmi Israël yo, e yo va vin pèp Mwen.”
Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.
2 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Pèp ki te chape de nepe a, te jwenn gras nan dezè a— Israël la menm, lè M te bay li repo li.”
There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after thee shall go a sword;
3 SENYÈ a te parèt a li menm soti lwen epi te di: “Wi, Mwen te renmen ou ak yon lanmou ki p ap janm fini. Konsa, Mwen te atire ou ak lanmou dous.
for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.
4 Yon lòt fwa ankò, Mwen va bati ou, e ou va vin rebati, O vyèj Israël la! Yon lòt fwa, ou va reprann tanbouren ou yo. Ou va vin parèt nan dans a sila k ap fete yo.
Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora:
5 Yon lòt fwa, ou va plante chan rezen yo sou kolin Samarie yo. Plantè yo va plante e yo va kontan ak fwi li.
for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; ye have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Paske jou a va rive lè gadyen sou kolin Éphraïm yo va kriye fò: ‘Annou leve! Annou monte Sion, kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.’”
Flee ye, and save your lives, and ye shall be as a wild ass in the desert.
7 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Chante anlè ak kè kontan pou Jacob, e kriye fò pami chèf nasyon yo. Pwoklame, bay lwanj epi di: ‘O SENYÈ sove pèp Ou a, retay Israël la!’
Since thou hast trusted in thy strong-hold, therefore thou shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.
8 Gade byen, Mwen ap mennen yo sòti nan peyi nò a, e Mwen va ranmase yo soti nan pati pi lwen latè a. Pami yo, avèg ak bwate yo, fanm lan ak pitit li, ak sila ki gen doulè tranche ansanm. Yon gran konpanyen, yo va retounen isit la.
And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.
9 Ak dlo nan zye, yo va vini. Ak siplikasyon, Mwen va mennen yo; Mwen va fè yo mache akote sous dlo yo, sou yon chemen dwat kote yo p ap tonbe a; paske Mwen se yon Papa pou Israël. Éphraïm se premye ne Mwen.”
Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her?
10 “Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, O nasyon yo! E deklare nan peyi kot byen lwen yo, epi di: ‘Sila ki te gaye Israël la, va ranmase li, e kenbe li kon yon bèje k ap gade bann mouton li.’
Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.
11 Paske SENYÈ a te rachte Jacob. Li te rachte l soti nan men a sila ki te pi fò pase l.
Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.
12 Yo va vin kriye fò ak lajwa sou wotè a Sion yo, e yo va gen kè kontan nèt sou bonte SENYÈ a, sou sereyal ak diven tounèf, ak lwil e sou jenn a bann mouton an ak twoupo a. Nanm yo va tankou yon jaden wouze. Yo p ap janm soufri tristès ankò.
Therefore, behold, his days come, saith the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.
13 Epi vyèj la va rejwi nan dans lan, ansanm ak jennonm yo ak ansyen yo; paske Mwen va fè tristès yo vin tounen lajwa. Mwen va rekonfòte yo, e bay yo kè kontan pou ranplase tristès yo.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.
14 Mwen va ranpli nanm a prèt yo ak abondans, e pèp Mwen an va satisfè ak bonte Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a.
How will ye say, We are strong, and men strong for war?
15 Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “Yon vwa vin tande nan Rama, lamantasyon yo ak gwo kriye dlo k ap sòti nan zye yo. Rachel ap kriye pou pitit li yo. Li refize rekonfòte pou pitit li yo, akoz yo pa la ankò.”
Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.
16 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Anpeche vwa ou k ap kriye, ak zye ou ap fè dlo; paske travay ou va vin rekonpanse,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Yo va retounen sòti nan peyi ènmi an.
The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance].
17 Gen espwa davni pou ou,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Pitit ou yo va retounen nan peyi pa yo.
Shake [the head] at him, all ye that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say ye, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!
18 “Anverite, Mwen te tande Éphraïm ap kriye ak doulè: ‘Ou te fè m sibi chatiman. Mwen te sibi chatiman tankou yon jenn bèf ki poko fin donte. Mennen m pou m ka restore, paske se Ou menm ki SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an.
Come down from [thy] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against thee one to ravage thy strong-hold.
19 Paske lè m te retounen, mwen te repanti. Epi apre mwen te enstwi. Mwen te frape pwòp kwis mwen. Mwen te vin wont e twouble menm; paske mwen te pote repwòch jenès mwen.’
Stand by the way, and look, thou that dwellest in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?
20 Èske Éphraïm se fis Mwen? Èske li se yon pitit ki fè M anpil plezi? Anverite, Mwen te pale kont li souvan, men M sonje l toujou; konsa kè M gen gwo dezi pou li. Anverite, Mwen va fè gras pou li”, deklare SENYÈ a.
Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.
21 “Plase pou ou menm ransèyman chemen yo; mete pou kont ou poto k ap dirije. Konsantre tout panse ou sou direksyon gran chemen an, wout sou sila ou te ale a. Retounen, O vyèj Israël; retounen kote vil sila yo, vil pa w yo.
And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,
22 Pou konbyen de tan ou va fè ale retou, O fi ki enfidèl? Paske SENYÈ a te fè yon bagay nèf sou latè: yon fanm va antoure yon nonm.”
and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,
23 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Yon fwa ankò, yo va pale pawòl sa a nan peyi Juda ak nan vil li yo lè M fin restore bonè li: ‘Ke SENYÈ a beni ou, O kay ladwati a, O mòn sen an!’
and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,
24 Juda ak tout vil li yo va demere ansanm ladann, kiltivatè a ak sila k ap deplase ak bann mouton li yo.
and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.
25 Paske Mwen rafrechi chak nanm ki fatige ak tout moun ki pèdi fòs yo.”
The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.
26 Nan moman sa a, mwen te reveye nan dòmi, e mwen te gade; dòmi an te tèlman dous pou mwen.
Make ye him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing-stock.
27 “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Lè M va plante lakay Israël ak lakay Juda avèk semans a lòm e avèk semans a bèt.
For surely Israel was to thee a laughing-stock, and was found among thy thefts, because thou didst fight against him.
28 Konsi Mwen te veye sou yo pou rache yo, pou kraze yo, pou boulvèse yo, pou detwi yo, e pou mennen gwo dezas; se konsa mwen va veye sou yo pou bati e pou plante,” deklare SENYÈ a.
The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and dwelt in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.
29 “Nan jou sa yo, yo p ap di ankò: ‘Papa yo te manje rezen si, e dan timoun yo vin kanpe apik.’
And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.
30 Men chak moun va mouri akoz pwòp inikite pa li. Chak moun ki manje rezen si yo, se pwòp dan pa l k ap vin kanpe apik.
But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?
31 “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “lè Mwen va fè yon akò tounèf avèk lakay Israël, e avèk lakay Juda,
Therefore howl ye for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for thee,
32 pa tankou akò ke M te fè ak papa yo a nan jou ke M te pran yo pa lamen pou mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la; akò Mwen ke yo te kraze a, malgre Mwen te yon mari pou yo a,” deklare SENYÈ a.
O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon thy fruits, [and] upon thy grape-gatherers.
33 “Men sa se akò ke M va fè ak lakay Israël apre jou sa yo”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Mwen va mete lalwa M anndan yo e sou kè yo Mwen va ekri l; epi Mwen va Bondye yo, e yo va pèp Mwen.
Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in thy presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.
34 “Yo p ap ankò enstwi, chak moun vwazen pa li, e chak moun frè pa li pou di: ‘Konnen SENYÈ a,’ paske yo tout va konnen Mwen, soti nan pi piti nan yo jis rive nan pi gran nan yo a,” deklare SENYÈ a, “paske Mwen va padone inikite yo, e peche yo, Mwen p ap sonje yo ankò.”
From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.
35 SENYÈ a ki bay solèy kon limyè nan lajounen e ki etabli lòd pou lalin ak zetwal yo pou bay limyè nan aswè, ki boulvèse lanmè a jis lanm li gwonde— SENYÈ dèzame yo se non Li, k ap di:
And I will destroy Moab, saith the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.
36 “Si lòd sa a vin deregle devan M, deklare SENYÈ a: “Alò desandan Israël yo osi va sispann kon yon nasyon devan M, jis pou tout tan.”
Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him.
37 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Si syèl anwo yo ka mezire, e fondasyon tè yo ka kontwole pa anba; alò, Mwen va osi jete tout desandan Israël yo nèt pou tout sa yo te fè yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth.
38 “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Lè vil la va rebati pou SENYÈ a, soti nan fò Hananeel la jis rive nan Pòtay Kwen an.
And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], saith the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.
39 Konsa lign mezi a va kontinye ale tou dwat jis rive nan kolin Gareb, epi li va vire Goath.
How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing-stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.
40 “Konsa tout vale kadav yo ak sann yo, e tout chan yo jis rive nan flèv Cédron nan, pou rive nan kwen Pòtay Cheval la, vè lès, va sen a SENYÈ a. Konsa, li p ap rache retire, ni jete ba ankò, jis pou tout tan.”
For thus said the Lord;
Carioth is taken, and the strong-holds have been taken together.
And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.
A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab.
He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.
