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 hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Woe unto Nebo! for it is wasted; made ashamed, captured is Kiryathayim; made ashamed is Misgab and dismayed.
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 more praise of Moab: in Cheshbon have they devised evil against it, “Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation.” Also thou Madmen shalt be ruined; after thee shall pursue the sword.
3 Bri a gwo kri k ap sòti Choronaïm; ravaj ak gwo destriksyon!
There is a voice of crying from Choronayim, destruction and a great breach.
4 Moab fin kraze. Pitit li yo te fè yon kri detrès.
Broken down is Moab: her little ones send forth a cry of distress.
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 the ascent of Luchith is ascended with weeping and tears; for on the descent of Choronayim the enemies have heard the cry of destruction.
6 Chape poul nou, sove lavi nou, pou nou ka tankou yon bayawonn nan dezè a.
Flee, save your life, and be ye like the solitary tree in the wilderness.
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 thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be conquered: and Kemosh shall go forth into exile, [with] his priests and his princes 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 water shall come over every city, and no city shall escape: and lost shall be the valley, and destroyed shall be the plain, as the Lord hath said.
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 wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; since her cities shall become desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 “Malè a sila ki fè travay SENYÈ a ak neglijans, e malè a sila ki anpeche nepe l vèse san.
Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that withholdeth 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 was ever at ease from his youth, and he was resting on his lees, and was not emptied from vessel to vessel, and had not gone into exile: therefore had his taste remained in him, and his scent was 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.
Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will send unto him tappers, that shall tap him, and they shall empty his vessels, and dash in pieces their bottles.
13 Epi Moab va wont pou Kemosch, menm jan lakay Israël te wont pou Béthel, konfyans pa yo.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Kemosh, as the house of Israel were made ashamed because of Beth-el their confidence.
14 “Kòman nou ka di: ‘Nou se vanyan gèrye e moun plen kouraj pou batay’?
How can ye say, We are mighty and men of bravery for the war?
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 is wasted, and into his cities hath [the enemy] ascended, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, the Lord of hosts is his name.
16 “Gwo dega Moab la prèt pou rive e malè li va chofe rive vit.
Near is the calamity of Moab to come, and his misfortune hasteneth fast.
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!’
All ye that are about him bemoan him; and all ye that know his name: say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful stick!
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.
Come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, thou inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; for the waster of Moab cometh up against thee, he destroyeth thy strong-holds.
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 by the way, and look out, O inhabitress of 'Aro'er: ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, say, What hath been done?
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 hath been made ashamed; for it is broken down; wail, and cry aloud: tell ye it by the Arnon, that Moab is wasted,
21 Jijman fin rive sou plèn nan tou, sou Holon, sou Jahats e kont Méphaath,
And punishment is come over the land of the plain, over Cholon, and over Yahzah, and over Mepha'ath,
22 Sou Dibon, sou Nebo, sou Beth-Diblathaïm,
And over Dibon, and over Nebo, and over Beth-diblathayim,
23 Sou Kirjathaïm sou Beth-Gamul, sou Beth-Meon,
And over Kiryathayim, and over Beth-gamul, and over Beth-me'on,
24 Sou Kerijoth, sou Botsra, sou tout vil nan peyi Moab yo, ni lwen, ni pre.
And over Keriyoth, and over Bozrah, and over all the cities of the land of Moab, that are far and that are near.
25 Kòn Moab te fin koupe nèt e bra li te fin kase,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Hewn away is the horn of Moab, and his arm is broken, saith 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.
Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall become [an object] of 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 was not Israel a derision unto thee? or was he found among thieves? that whenever thou spokest of him, thou hadst to shake [thy head]?
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.
Leave the cities, and dwell on rocks, O ye that dwell in Moab; and be ye like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the mouth of rocky clefts.
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 heard the pride of Moab, who is so exceedingly proud, his haughtiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the overbearingness of his heart.
30 Mwen konnen gwo kòlè li,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Men sa initil; gwo ògèy li a pa reyisi anyen.
I will know, saith the Lord, his wrath, and how causeless it is: his liars have done what is not right.
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.
Therefore will I wail for Moab, and for all Moab will I cry out; for the men of Kir-cheres shall people moan.
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.
With the weeping of Ya'zer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah; thy tendrils [once] passed over the sea, they reached as far as to the sea of Ya'zer: over thy summer-fruits and over thy vintage the waster is fallen.
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.
And banished are joy and gladness from Carmel, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused the wine to cease from the wine-presses; none shall tread the press with the vintner's call; battle cry—nor vintner's call.
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 loud cry of Cheshbon as far as El'aleh, even unto Yahaz, have they sent forth their voice, from Zo'ar even unto Choronayim, to the third 'Eglath; for the waters also of Nimrim shall become desolate.
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.
Moreover will I cause to cease unto Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth on the high-places, and him that burneth incense 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.
Therefore shall my heart groan for Moab like flutes, and my heart shall groan like flutes for the men of Kir-cheres; for the cause that the remnant of the riches he had gotten are lost.
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 is bald, and every beard is shorn: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins is sackcloth.
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.
Upon all the roofs of Moab, and in her streets, there is everywhere lamentation; for I have broken Moab like a vessel which hath no value, saith 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.”
Oh, how is it broken down! wail! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! and Moab shall be a derision and a dismay to all those around him.
40 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, li va vole rapid tankou èg e lonje zèl li ouvri kont Moab.
For thus hath said the Lord, Behold, as the eagle shall he fly, and he shall spread out his wings over 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.
Captured are the fortresses, and the strong-holds are conquered: and the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be on that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moab va detwi jiskaske li vin pa yon pèp ankò, akoz li te vin awogan anvè SENYÈ a.
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people; because it hath magnified himself 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, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith 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.
He that fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith 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.
Under the shadow of Cheshbon stand still, deprived of strength, those that flee; but a fire cometh forth out of Cheshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sichon, and it devoureth the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the children of vaunting.
46 Malè pou ou, Moab! Pèp Kemosch la fin peri; paske fis nou yo vin prizonye e fi nou yo ale an kaptivite.
Woe unto thee, O Moab! lost is the people of Kemosh; for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters into captivity.
47 “Malgre sa, Mwen va restore Moab nan dènye jou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a. Jiska prezan, jijman an rive sou Moab.
Yet will I bring back again the captivity of Moab in the end of days, saith the Lord. Thus far is the punishment of Moab.
