< 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?
Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,
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.
to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before thy face, and pray thou to the Lord thy God for this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as thine eyes see.
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.
And let the Lord thy God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.
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?’
And Jeremias said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever word the Lord God shall answer, I will declare [it] to you; I will not hide anything from you.
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.
And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness, if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.
6 “Men apre, Mwen va restore fòtin a fis a Ammon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
And whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, because we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
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?
And it came to pass after ten days, [that] the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
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.
And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
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.
and he said to them, Thus saith the Lord;
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.
If ye will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull [you] down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.
11 Kite òfelen ou yo dèyè; Mwen va konsève yo. Kite vèv ou yo mete konfyans yo nan Mwen.”
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.
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.
And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.
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.”
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not hearken to the voice of the Lord;
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!”
for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:
15 “Paske gade byen, Mwen te fè nou piti pami nasyon yo, meprize pami lòm.
then hear the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord;
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.
If ye set your face toward Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, [that] the sword which ye fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which ye have regard, shall overtake you, [coming] after you in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
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 all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.
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.
For thus saith the Lord; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when ye have entered into Egypt: and ye shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curse and a reproach: and ye shall no more see this place.
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?”
[These are the words] which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter ye not into Egypt: and now know ye for a certainty,
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.
that ye have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when ye sent me, saying, Pray thou for us to the Lord; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to thee we will do.
21 Latè te souke akoz bri chit yo. Gen yon gwo kri anmwey! Bri li te rive jis nan Lamè Wouj.
And ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, with which he sent me to you.
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.
Now therefore ye shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which ye desire to go into to dwell there.
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.
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.
25 Ki jan vil lwanj Mwen an pa vin dezète, vil lajwa Mwen an!
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.
27 Mwen va mete dife nan miray Damas lan e li va devore tou bèl palè Ben-hadad yo.
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.
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!’
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.
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.”
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.
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.”
34 Sa ki te sòti kon pawòl SENYÈ a konsènan Élam, nan kòmansman règn a Sédécias, wa Juda a, t ap di:
35 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va kraze banza Élam nan, pi fò nan pwisans pa yo.
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.
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.
38 Epi Mwen va mete twòn pa Mwen nan Élam, e Mwen va detwi wa pa yo ak ofisye pa yo,’ deklare SENYÈ a.
39 ‘Men li va vin rive nan dènye jou yo, ke Mwen va restore fòtin Élam yo’, deklare SENYÈ a.”
