Jeremi 49
1 Konsènan fis a Ammon yo. Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Èske Israël pa gen fis? Oswa èske li pa gen eritye? Alò poukisa Malcom te pran posesyon sou Gad, e se pèp li ki vin rete nan vil pa yo?
About the children of Ammon. These are the words of the Lord: Has Israel no sons? has he no one to take the heritage? why then has Milcom taken Gad for himself, putting his people in its towns?
2 Pou sa, gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “ke Mwen va fè yon twonpèt fè son lagè kont Rabbath, fis a Ammon yo; epi li va devni pil dezole, e vil li yo va limen ak dife. Konsa, Israël va pran posesyon de sila ki posede l yo,” pale SENYÈ a.
Because of this, see, the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah, the town of the children of Ammon; it will become a waste of broken walls, and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire: then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage, says the Lord.
3 “Rele anmwey, O Hesbon! Paske Aï fin detwi! Kriye fò, O fi a Rabbath yo! Mare senti nou ak twal sak ak gwo kri e kouri fè ale retou anndan miray yo; paske Malcom va ale an egzil ansanm ak prèt li yo ak prens yo.
Make sounds of grief, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted; give loud cries, O daughters of Rabbah, and put haircloth round you: give yourselves to weeping, running here and there and wounding yourselves; for Milcom will be taken prisoner together with his rulers and his priests.
4 Pouki sa ou ògeye pou vale yo! Vale yo kap koule, O fi ki chite fè bak, ki plase konfyans li nan trezò li yo? E k ap di: ‘Kilès ki va vini kont mwen?’
Why are you lifted up in pride on account of your valleys, your flowing valley, O daughter ever turning away? who puts her faith in her wealth, saying, Who will come against me?
5 Gade byen, m ap fè gwo laperèz rive sou ou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo: “Soti nan tout kote ki antoure ou yo; epi nou chak va chase sòti tèt devan, san pèsòn ki pou rasanble sila ki gaye yo.
See, I will send fear on you, says the Lord, the Lord of armies, from those who are round you on every side; you will be forced out, every man straight before him, and there will be no one to get together the wanderers.
6 “Men apre, Mwen va restore fòtin a fis a Ammon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
But after these things, I will let the fate of the children of Ammon be changed, says the Lord.
7 Konsènan Édom. Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Èske pa gen sajès ankò nan Théman? Èske tout konsèy a sila ki pridan yo fin pèdi? Èske sajès yo vin pouri?
About Edom. This is what the Lord of armies has said. Is there no more wisdom in Teman? have wise suggestions come to an end among men of good sense? has their wisdom completely gone?
8 Chape poul ou, retounen, rete nan pwofondè yo, O sila ki rete Dedan yo! Paske Mwen va mennen dezas Ésaü a sou li nan lè M ap pini li a.
Go in flight, go back, take cover in deep places, you who are living in Dedan; for I will send the fate of Edom on him, even the time of his punishment.
9 Si sila k ap ranmase rezen yo te vin kote ou, èske yo pa t ap kite kèk grenn fwi tonbe atè? Si yon vòlè te vini lannwit, yo ta vole sèlman kont yo pou yo ta jwenn ase.
If men came to get your grapes, would they not let some be uncut on the vines? if thieves came by night, would they not make waste till they had enough?
10 Men Mwen te rete rad sou Ésaü. Mwen te dekouvri kote kache li yo jiskaske li pa t ka kache menm. Desandan li yo, moun fanmi li yo, vwazen li yo ak li menm pa egziste menm ankò.
I have had Esau searched out, uncovering his secret places, so that he may not keep himself covered: his seed is wasted and has come to an end, and there is no help from his neighbours.
11 Kite òfelen ou yo dèyè; Mwen va konsève yo. Kite vèv ou yo mete konfyans yo nan Mwen.”
Put in my care your children who have no father, and I will keep them safe; and let your widows put their faith in me.
12 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, sila ki pa t kondane pou bwè tas yo va, anverite, bwè l, e èske se ou sèl k ap epanye? Nou p ap epanye, men anverite, nou va bwè l.
For the Lord has said, Those for whom the cup was not made ready will certainly be forced to take of it; and are you to go without punishment? you will not be without punishment, but will certainly be forced to take from the cup.
13 Paske Mwen te sèmante pa Mwen menm”, deklare SENYÈ a: “ke Botsra va devni yon objè degoutan, yon repwòch, yon pil mazi kraze ak yon malediksyon. Tout vil li yo va vin pil mazi.”
For I have taken an oath by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will become a cause of wonder, a name of shame, a waste and a curse; and all its towns will be waste places for ever.
14 Mwen te tande yon mesaj soti nan SENYÈ a e yon mesaje vin voye pami tout nasyon yo, t ap di: “Rasanble nou ansanm. Vin kont li! Leve pou batay!”
Word has come to me from the Lord, and a representative has been sent to the nations, to say, Come together and go up against her, and take your places for the fight.
15 “Paske gade byen, Mwen te fè nou piti pami nasyon yo, meprize pami lòm.
For see, I have made you small among the nations, looked down on by men.
16 Men pou laperèz a ou menm, awogans a kè ou te twonpe ou; ou menm ki rete nan twou wòch yo, ki okipe wotè a kolin nan. Malgre ou fè nich ou wo tankou èg, M ap rale ou desann soti la,” deklare SENYÈ a.
... the pride of your heart has been a false hope, O you who are living in the cracks of the rock, keeping your place on the top of the hill: even if you made your living-place as high as the eagle, I would make you come down, says the Lord.
17 “Édom va devni yon objè degoutan; chak moun ki pase bò kote li va etone, e va sifle kon koulèv sou tout blesi li yo.
And Edom will become a cause of wonder: everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.
18 Tankou boulvèsman Sodome ak Gomorrhe ak vwazen li yo”, di SENYÈ a: “pèsòn p ap viv la, ni p ap gen youn nan fis a lòm ki rete la.
As at the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns, says the Lord, no man will be living in it, no son of man will have a resting-place there.
19 “Gade byen, youn va monte kon yon lyon ki soti nan rakbwa Jourdain an kont yon patiraj ki tèlman byen wouze; pou yon moman, mwen va fè l kouri kite li e nenpòt moun ki deziye, Mwen va bay li pouvwa sou li. Paske se kilès ki tankou Mwen menm? E se kilès k ap voye pwosè vèbal tribinal ban Mwen? Alò, se kilès ki bèje ki ka kanpe devan Mwen?”
See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make him go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will be able to keep his place before me?
20 Pou sa, koute plan ke SENYÈ a fòme kont Édom ak objektif ke Li te fòme kont moun ki rete Théman yo: Anverite, yo va trennen yo deyò, menm pi piti nan bann mouton an. Anverite, Li va fè patiraj yo vin dezole akoz de yo menm.
For this cause give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Edom, and to his purposes designed against the people of Teman: Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.
21 Latè te souke akoz bri chit yo. Gen yon gwo kri anmwey! Bri li te rive jis nan Lamè Wouj.
The earth is shaking with the noise of their fall; their cry is sounding in the Red Sea.
22 Gade byen, Li va monte, desann kon yon èg e lonje zèl li kont Botsra. Kè a moun pwisan yo va tankou kè a yon fanm k ap pouse pitit.
See, he will come up like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Bozrah: and the hearts of Edom's men of war on that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
23 Konsènan Damas. “Hamath ak Arpad fè wont nèt, paske yo te resevwa move nouvèl. Yo dekouraje. Kouraj yo ba nèt. Gen enkyetid bò lanmè a; li pa ka kalme.
About Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for the word of evil has come to their ears, their heart in its fear is turned to water, it will not be quiet.
24 Damas vin enpwisan nèt; li te vire sove ale, e gwo laperèz fin sezi li. Gwo doulè ak sezisman pran l tankou yon fanm k ap akouche.
Damascus has become feeble, she is turned to flight, fear has taken her in its grip: pain and sorrows have come on her, as on a woman in birth-pains.
25 Ki jan vil lwanj Mwen an pa vin dezète, vil lajwa Mwen an!
How has the town of praise been wasted, the place of joy!
26 Konsa, jennonm pa l yo va tonbe nan ri li yo e tout mesye lagè yo va tonbe an silans nan jou sa a,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
So her young men will be falling in her streets, and all the men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord of armies.
27 Mwen va mete dife nan miray Damas lan e li va devore tou bèl palè Ben-hadad yo.
And I will have a fire lighted on the wall of Damascus, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.
28 Konsènan Kédar ak wayòm a Hatsor yo, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pran nan batay. Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Leve monte Kédar e detwi mesye nan lès yo.
About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame. This is what the Lord has said: Up! go against Kedar, and make an attack on the children of the east.
29 Yo va pran tant yo ak bann mouton yo; yo va pote pou kont yo tout rido tant yo, tout byen yo ak tout chamo yo e yo va rele a youn lòt: ‘Gwo laperèz tout kote!’
Their tents and their flocks they will take; they will take away for themselves their curtains and all their vessels and their camels: they will give a cry to them, Fear on every side.
30 “Kouri, sove ale! Rete nan pwofondè yo, o pèp Hatsor a”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Paske Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pran konsey kont nou, e te fome yon plan kont nou.
Go in flight, go wandering far off, take cover in deep places, O people of Hazor, says the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a design against you, he has a purpose against you in mind.
31 Leve monte kont yon nasyon ki alèz, ki viv ansekirite,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Li pa gen pòtay, ni fè fòje; yo rete pou kont yo.”
Up! go against a nation which is living in comfort and without fear of danger, says the Lord, without doors or locks, living by themselves.
32 Chamo pa yo va devni piyaj, gran kantite bèt yo va sèvi kon bagay sòlda pran, Mwen va gaye bay tout van yo a sila ki koupe kwen cheve yo; e Mwen va mennen sou yo gwo dezas ki sòti tout kote,” deklare SENYÈ a.
And their camels will be taken from them by force, and their great herds will come into the hands of their attackers: those who have the ends of their hair cut I will send in flight to all the winds; and I will send their fate on them from every side, says the Lord.
33 “Hatsor va vin yon kote pou chen mawon, yon kote dezole jis pou tout tan. P ap gen moun ki rete la, ni yon grenn nan fis a lòm p ap rete ladann.”
And Hazor will be a hole for jackals, a waste for ever: no one will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.
34 Sa ki te sòti kon pawòl SENYÈ a konsènan Élam, nan kòmansman règn a Sédécias, wa Juda a, t ap di:
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, saying,
35 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va kraze banza Élam nan, pi fò nan pwisans pa yo.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will have the bow of Elam, their chief strength, broken.
36 Mwen va mennen sou Élam kat van ki sòti nan kat pwent syèl yo, e Mwen va gaye pèp yo a tout van sa yo. P ap gen nasyon kote moun rejte a Élam yo pa prale.
And I will send on Elam four winds from the four quarters of heaven, driving them out to all those winds; there will be no nation into which the wanderers from Elam do not come.
37 Konsa, Mwen va kraze Élam devan lènmi yo ak devan sila k ap chache lavi yo. Mwen va mennen gwo kalamite sou yo, menm kòlè sovaj Mwen’, deklare SENYÈ a. ‘Mwen va voye nepe kont yo jiskaske Mwen fin manje yo nèt.
And I will let Elam be broken before their haters, and before those who are making designs against their lives: I will send evil on them, even my burning wrath, says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them till I have put an end to them:
38 Epi Mwen va mete twòn pa Mwen nan Élam, e Mwen va detwi wa pa yo ak ofisye pa yo,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
I will put the seat of my power in Elam, and in Elam I will put an end to kings and rulers, says the Lord.
39 ‘Men li va vin rive nan dènye jou yo, ke Mwen va restore fòtin Élam yo’, deklare SENYÈ a.”
But it will come about that, in the last days, I will let the fate of Elam be changed, says the Lord.
