Jeremi 46
1 Sa ki te rive selon pawòl SENYÈ a a Jérémie, pwofèt la, konsènan nasyon yo.
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
2 Pou Égypte: konsènan lame Farawon Neco, wa Égypte la, ki te akote rivyè Euphrate nan Carkemisch, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te bat nèt nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a.
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 “Alinye pwotèj ak boukliye e pwoche pre pou batay la.
Order you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Sele cheval, e monte sou do yo; pran pozisyon nou ak kas nan tèt! Netwaye tout lans yo, e mete abiman an bwonz!
Harness the horses; and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
5 Poukisa mwen te wè sa? Yo pè nèt, y ap rale fè bak, mesye pwisan yo fin bat nèt, e sèl abri yo sove ale san gade dèyè. Se gwo laperèz tout kote!” deklare SENYÈ a.
Why have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, says the LORD.
6 Pa kite sila ki pi rapid la sove ale, ni moun pwisan an chape poul li. Nan nò, akote rivyè Euphrate la, yo te glise, chape tonbe.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
7 Se kilès sa ki leve tankou rivyè Nil la, tankou rivyè ki gen dlo k ap jayi toupatou yo?
Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Égypte leve tankou rivyè Nil la, menm tankou rivyè ki gen dlo k ap jayi toupatou yo. Li te di: “Mwen va leve kouvri peyi sa a; anverite, Mwen va detwi vil la ak moun ki rete ladann yo.”
Egypt rises up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9 An avan, cheval yo! Kouri tankou moun fou, cha lagè yo! Kite moun pwisan yo mache devan: Éthiopie ak Puth ki manevre boukliye a, Lidyen ki manevre e koube banza a.
Come up, you horses; and rage, you chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
10 Paske jou sa a se pou Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, yon jou vanjans, pou L kapab fè vanjans Li sou lènmi Li yo. Nepe a va devore vin satisfè, Li va bwè kont li nan san yo; paske va genyen yon sakrifis pou Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo, nan peyi nò a, akote Larivyè Euphrate la.
For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Monte Galaad pou jwenn pomad gerizon an, O fi vyèj Égypte la! Anven nou te miltipliye remèd yo; nanpwen gerizon pou nou.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines; for you shall not be cured.
12 Nasyon yo te tande de bagay wont ou an, e tè a plen ak kri detrès ou; paske yon gran gèrye tonbe sou gran gèye, e toulède tonbe atè ansanm.
The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13 Sa se mesaj ke SENYÈ a te pale a Jérémie, pwofèt la, konsènan avni a wa Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, pou frape peyi Égypte la:
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
14 “Se pou nou deklare an Égypte e pwoklame nan Migdol; pwoklame tou nan Noph e nan Tachpanès; Di: ‘Pran pozisyon nou e kanpe, paske nepe fin devore sila ki antoure nou yo.’
Declare you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.
15 Poukisa mesye pwisan nou yo vin pwostène? Yo pa kanpe akoz SENYÈ a te pouse yo desann.
Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16 Li fè anpil tonbe; anverite, yo tonbe youn kont lòt. Yo te di: ‘Kanpe! Annou retounen kote pwòp pèp pa nou, nan peyi natal nou, lwen nepe a sila k ap oprime a.’
He made many to fall, yes, one fell on another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Yo te kriye la: ‘Farawon, wa Égypte la, pa plis ke yon gwo bri; li te kite tan deziye a fin pase!’
They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has passed the time appointed.
18 “Jan Mwen viv la,” deklare Wa a ki gen kon non Li, SENYÈ dèzame yo, “Anverite, youn ki parèt gran tankou Mòn Thabor pami mòn yo, oswa tankou Carmel akote lanmè a; se konsa lap vini.
As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
19 Prepare valiz ou pou egzil, O fi k ap demere an Égypte, paske Noph va devni yon dezolasyon; li va brile menm, pou l rete vid san moun ladann.
O you daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 “Égypte se yon gazèl byen bèl, men yon gwo mouch ap vini soti nan nò. Li fin rive.
Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north.
21 Anplis, sòlda mèsenè etranje nan mitan li yo tankou jenn bèf yo byen angrese, paske yo menm tou te fin vire nèt; yo te sove ale ansanm. Yo pa t kanpe, paske jou malè pa yo fin rive sou yo; lè pinisyon pa yo.
Also her hired men are in the middle of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come on them, and the time of their visitation.
22 Son li va soti kon yon sèpan; paske tankou yon lame, yo vini, yo rive kote li ak moun k ap pote rach.
The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 “Yo va koupe forè li”, deklare SENYÈ a; anverite, li p ap twouve ankò; paske yo plis pase gwo lame krikèt volan. Fòs kantite yo depase kontwòl.
They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24 Fi Égypte la ap fè gwo wont; lap livre nan pouvwa moun nan nò yo.”
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la di: “Gade byen, Mwen ap pini Amon ki rete Thebes la, Farawon e Égypte ansanm ak dye li yo ak wa li yo, menm Farawon ak sila ki mete konfyans nan li yo.
The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
26 Mwen va livre yo a sila k ap chache touye yo, menm nan men Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan ak nan men chèf li yo. Malgre sa, apre, li va vin gen moun ki rete ladann jan li te ye nan tan pase a.” deklare SENYÈ a.
And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD.
27 Men pou ou menm, O! Jacob, sèvitè Mwen an, pa gen lakrent, ni pa twouble, O Israël! Paske ou wè, Mwen va sove nou soti lwen, e desandan nou yo soti nan peyi kaptivite yo. Jacob va retounen pou rete san twoub, ansekirite, san pèsòn ki pou fè l tranble.
But fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 O Jacob, sèvitè Mwen an, pa gen lakrent!” deklare SENYÈ a: “paske, Mwen avèk ou. Paske Mwen va fè fen a tout nasyon kote Mwen te chase ou ale yo. Sepandan, Mwen p ap fè fen a ou menm; men Mwen va korije ou jan sa dwe fèt e Mwen p ap kite ou san pinisyon.”
Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.
