Jeremi 48
1 Konsènan Moab. Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Malè a Nebo! Paske li fin detwi. Kirjathaïm te rive wont nèt. Li vin kaptire. Sitadèl la ki te leve byen wo a te fè wont. Li te vin kraze nèt.
Against Moab, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe upon Nebo! For it has been devastated and confounded. Kiriathaim has been seized; the strong one has been confounded and has trembled.
2 Pa genyen lwanj pou Moab ankò. Nan Hesbon, yo te fè plan pou malè li: ‘Vini, annou koupe retire l nèt pou l pa menm yon nasyon ankò!’ Nou menm tou, Madmen, va vin an silans. Nepe a va swiv nou.
There is no longer any rejoicing in Moab over Heshbon. They have devised evil. ‘Come and let us destroy it as a nation.’ Then you will be utterly silenced, and the sword will pursue you.
3 Bri a gwo kri k ap sòti Choronaïm; ravaj ak gwo destriksyon!
A voice of clamor from Horonaim: devastation and great destruction!
4 Moab fin kraze. Pitit li yo te fè yon kri detrès.
Moab has been crushed. Announce an outcry for her little ones.
5 Paske akote pant ki monte vè Luchith la, yo va monte avèk kri san rete. Paske nan pant ki desann kote Choronaïm nan, yo te tande gwo kri ak doulè akoz destriksyon an.
For, along the ascent of Luhith, the mourner will ascend with weeping. For, on the descent of Horonaim, the enemies have heard the wailing of devastation.
6 Chape poul nou, sove lavi nou, pou nou ka tankou yon bayawonn nan dezè a.
Flee, save your lives! And you shall be like a saltcedar tree in the desert.
7 Paske akoz konfyans nou mete nan pwòp zèv nou ak trezò pa nou; menm nou menm va vin kaptire. Kemosch va antre an egzil ansanm ak prèt li yo ak prens li yo.
For because you have had faith in your fortifications and in your storehouses, you too will be seized. And Chemosh will go into captivity: his priests and his leaders together.
8 Yon destriktè va vini nan chak vil, pou pa gen vil ki chape; vale a, anplis, ap detwi, e wo plèn nan va detwi, jan SENYÈ a te pale a.
And the despoiler will overwhelm every city, and not a single city will be saved. And the valleys will perish, and the fields will be destroyed. For the Lord has spoken.
9 Bay zèl a Moab, paske li va sove ale; epi vil pa li yo va vin yon dezè, san moun ki pou rete ladan yo.
Give a blossom to Moab. For it will depart when it is blossoming. And its cities will become desolate and uninhabited.
10 “Malè a sila ki fè travay SENYÈ a ak neglijans, e malè a sila ki anpeche nepe l vèse san.
Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully. And cursed is he who prohibits his sword from blood.
11 “Moab te alèz depi nan jenès li; anplis, li pa t janm deranje. Tankou diven ki rete nan boutèy orijinal, ki pa t vide de veso a veso, nonplis li pa t janm ale an egzil. Akoz sa, li kenbe bon gou li, ni odè li pa chanje.
Moab has been fertile from his youth, and he has rested amid his brood. And he has not been transferred from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into the transmigration. Therefore, his taste has remained with him, and his scent has not changed.
12 Akoz sa, gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “lè Mwen va voye kote li sila ki chavire bato yo e yo va chavire li, yo va vide veso li yo e kraze tout bokal li yo.
Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will send to him those who will line up and knock down his bottles, and they will knock him down and empty his vessels, and they will break their bottles against one another.
13 Epi Moab va wont pou Kemosch, menm jan lakay Israël te wont pou Béthel, konfyans pa yo.
And Moab will be confounded by Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was shamed by Bethel, in which they had faith.
14 “Kòman nou ka di: ‘Nou se vanyan gèrye e moun plen kouraj pou batay’?
How can you say: ‘We are strong and robust men of battle?’
15 Moab fin detwi nèt, e moun fin monte kote vil li yo; anplis, jenn mesye pi chwazi li yo fin tonbe nan gwo masak,” deklare Wa a, ki pote non a SENYÈ dèzame yo.
Moab has been devastated, and they have cut down her cities. And her elect young men have descended to slaughter. So says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 “Gwo dega Moab la prèt pou rive e malè li va chofe rive vit.
The passing away of Moab draws near and arrives. Its evil will rush forward with great speed.
17 Fè dèy pou li, nou menm tout ki antoure li, menm nou menm tout ki te konnen non li, di: ‘Gade kijan gwo fòs baton wayal la fin kase, yon baton ki te tèlman bèl!’
Console him, all you who surround him and all you who know his name. Say: ‘How has the strong staff become broken, the glorious staff?’
18 O fi ki rete Dibon an, “Desann kite glwa ou pou vin chita sou tè sèk; paske destriktè Moab la te vin kont ou. Li te detwi sitadèl ou yo.
Descend from your glory, and sit in thirst, O habitation of the daughter of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has ascended to you; he has dissipated your fortifications.
19 Kanpe akote wout la pou veye, O moun ki rete Aroër. Mande gason ‘ki moun ki sove ale a’? E fi a ‘ki moun ki chape poul li a’? Mande: ‘Kisa ki te pase?’
Stand in the way, and gaze out, O habitation of Aroer! Question him who is fleeing, and say to him who has escaped: ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab fin fè wont nèt, paske li fin kraze nèt. Fè gwo kri, rele anmwey! Deklare akote Rivyè Arnon an ke Moab te fin detwi.
Moab has been confounded, because he has been conquered. Wail and cry out! Announce it in Arnon: Moab has been devastated,
21 Jijman fin rive sou plèn nan tou, sou Holon, sou Jahats e kont Méphaath,
and judgment has arrived upon the land of the plains: upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath,
22 Sou Dibon, sou Nebo, sou Beth-Diblathaïm,
and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,
23 Sou Kirjathaïm sou Beth-Gamul, sou Beth-Meon,
and upon Kiriathaim, and upon the house of Gamul, and upon the house of Meon,
24 Sou Kerijoth, sou Botsra, sou tout vil nan peyi Moab yo, ni lwen, ni pre.
and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, those far away and those nearby.
25 Kòn Moab te fin koupe nèt e bra li te fin kase,” deklare SENYÈ a.
The horn of Moab has been cut away, and his arm has been crushed, says the Lord.
26 “Fè l vin sou, paske li te plen ògèy anvè SENYÈ a. Pou sa, Moab va vire tounen nan vomisman li, e anplis, li va vin yon rizib pou tout moun ka ri.
Inebriate him, for he has lifted himself up against the Lord. And Moab will thrust his hand into his own vomit, and also now he himself will become a derision.
27 Alò, èske nou pa t konsidere Israël kon yon rizib? Oswa, èske se pami volè li te tonbe? Paske chak fwa nou pale sou li, nou souke tèt nou konsi n ap giyonnen li.
For Israel had been a derision to them. It was as if you had discovered him among thieves. Because of your own words, then, which you have spoken against him, you will be led away captive.
28 Kite vil yo pou rete nan kav wo yo, O moun Moab yo! Fè tankou toutrèl ki fè nich li dèyè bouch gwo kav yo.
Relinquish the cities, and live upon a rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like a dove nesting at the mouth of an opening at the summit.
29 “Nou konn tande afè ògèy Moab la. Li vrèman ògeye nan ensolans li, ògèy li, awogans kè li, ak leve pwòp tèt li byen wo.
We have listened to the arrogance of Moab; he is very proud: his exaltation, and arrogance, and pride, and the loftiness of his heart.
30 Mwen konnen gwo kòlè li,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Men sa initil; gwo ògèy li a pa reyisi anyen.
I myself know, says the Lord, his boasting, and that his ability is not in accord with it, nor is it in accord with what he has been striving to do.
31 Pou sa, mwen va rele anmwey pou Moab, menm pou tout Moab mwen va rele fò. Mwen va plenyen ak tristès pou mesye a Kir-Hérès yo.
For this reason, I will wail over Moab, and I will cry out to all of Moab, to the men on the brick wall who are lamenting.
32 Plis ke kriye pou Jaezer, mwen va kriye pou ou, O chan rezen Sibma a. Chan rezen nou yo te lonje rive lòtbò lanmè a. Yo te rive nan lanmè Jaezer a. Sou fwi gran sezon ak rekòlt rezen nou, destriktè a vin tonbe.
O vineyard of Sibmah, I will weep for you, with the mourning of Jazer. Your offshoots have crossed over the sea. They have reached even to the sea of Jazer. The despoiler has rushed over your harvest and your vintage.
33 Konsa, lajwa ak kè kontan vin retire nan chan plen ak fwi a, menm nan Moab. Epi Mwen te fè diven vin sispann nan pèz diven yo. Pèsòn p ap foule yo ak gwo kri. Kri ki genyen, se ke pa gen kriye menm.
Rejoicing and exultation has been taken away from Carmel and from the land of Moab. And I have taken the wine from the winepresses. The treader of grapes will no longer sing the usual rhythmic chant.
34 Soti nan gwo kri Hesbon an, menm rive Élealé, menm nan Jahats, yo te leve vwa yo, soti Tsoar, jis rive Choronaïm, jiska Églath-Schelischija; paske dlo a Nimrim yo va anplis vin dezole.
From the outcry of Heshbon, even to Elealeh and Jahzah, they have uttered their voice; from Zoar, even to Horonaim, like a three year old calf. So too, the waters of Nimrim will be very bad.
35 M ap fè Moab fini nèt”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Sila ki ofri sakrifis sou wo plas yo e sila ki brile lansan a dye li yo.
And I will take away from Moab, says the Lord, the one who makes offerings in exalted places, and the one who sacrifices to his gods.
36 Akoz sa, kè M kriye pou Moab tankou flit; kè M kriye tou pou mesye Kir-Hérès yo. Akoz yo te pèdi tout abondans li te konn pwodwi.
Because of this, my heart will resound for Moab, like the pipes, and my heart will make a sound like the pipes for the men on the brick wall. For he has done more than he was able, yet still they have perished.
37 Paske tout tèt vin chòv e tout bab vin koupe kout; genyen blesi sou tout men yo ak twal sak sou kwis.
For every head will be bald, and every beard will be shaved. All the hands will be bound together, and there will be haircloth on every back.
38 Sou tout twati a Moab yo ak nan lari yo, se lamantasyon tout kote; paske mwen te kraze Moab kon yon veso san valè,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Over all the rooftops of Moab, and in its streets, everyone will mourn. For I have crushed Moab like a useless vessel, says the Lord.
39 “A la kraze li kraze! Yo te rele anmwey. Gade kijan Moab te vire do li—li vin wont nèt! Konsa, Moab va vin yon rizib ak yon objè degoutan a tout moun ki antoure li yo.”
How was it conquered, so that they would wail? How is it that Moab has cast down his neck and been confounded? And Moab will be a derision and an example to everyone around him.”
40 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, li va vole rapid tankou èg e lonje zèl li ouvri kont Moab.
Thus says the Lord: “Behold, he will fly like the eagle, and he will extend his wings to Moab.
41 Kerijoth te fin kaptire e sitadèl yo te vin pran. Kè a mesye pwisan Moab yo nan jou sa a, va tankou kè a yon fanm k ap pouse pitit.
Kerioth has been captured, and the fortifications have been taken. And in that day, the heart of the strong ones of Moab will be like the heart of a woman giving birth.
42 Moab va detwi jiskaske li vin pa yon pèp ankò, akoz li te vin awogan anvè SENYÈ a.
And Moab will cease to be a people. For he has been glorified against the Lord.
43 Gwo laperèz devan twou fòs, ak pèlen ap vini sou nou, O moun Moab yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Terror and the pit and the snare will overwhelm you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the Lord.
44 “Sila ki sove ale devan gwo laperèz la, va tonbe nan fòs la e sila ki monte sòti nan fòs la, va kenbe nan pèlen an; paske Mwen va mennen sou li, menm sou Moab, ane a pinisyon yo”, deklare SENYÈ a.
Whoever flees from the terror will fall into the pit. And whoever climbs out of the pit will be seized by the snare. For I will lead over Moab the year of their visitation, says the Lord.
45 “Nan lonbraj Hesbon, mesye ki chape yo rete san fòs; paske dife a parèt sòti nan Hesbon, yon flanm soti nan mitan Sihon e li te devore fwontèn tèt a Moab ak zo bwa tèt mò a banbochè yo.
Those fleeing from the snare stood in the shadow of Heshbon. For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it will devour the portion of Moab, and the top of the head of the sons of tumult.
46 Malè pou ou, Moab! Pèp Kemosch la fin peri; paske fis nou yo vin prizonye e fi nou yo ale an kaptivite.
Woe to you, O Moab! You have been ruined, O people of Chemosh! For your sons and your daughters have been taken into captivity.
47 “Malgre sa, Mwen va restore Moab nan dènye jou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a. Jiska prezan, jijman an rive sou Moab.
But I will convert the captivity of Moab in the last days, says the Lord.” Such are the judgments of Moab thus far.
