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?
Against the children of Ammon. Thus saith the Lord: Hath Israel no sons? or hath he no heir? Why then hath Melchom inherited Gad: and his people dwelt in his cities?
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.
Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will cause the noise of war to be heard in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and it shall be destroyed into a heap, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire, and Israel shall possess them that have possessed him, saith 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.
Howl, O Hesebon, for Hai is wasted. Cry, ye daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with haircloth: mourn and go about by the hedges: for Melchom shall be carried into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.
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 gloriest thou in the valleys? thy valley hath flowed away, O delicate daughter, that hast trusted in thy treasures, and hast said: Who shall come to 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.
Behold I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all that are round about thee: and you shall be scattered every one out of one another’s sight, neither shall there be any to gather together them that flee.
6 “Men apre, Mwen va restore fòtin a fis a Ammon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
And afterwards I will cause the captives of the children of Ammon to return, saith 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?
Against Edom. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Theman? counsel is perished from her children: their wisdom is become unprofitable.
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.
Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole, ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation.
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 grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a bunch? if thieves in the night, they would have taken what was enough for them.
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.
But I have made Esau bare, I have revealed his secrets, and he cannot be hid: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he shall not be.
11 Kite òfelen ou yo dèyè; Mwen va konsève yo. Kite vèv ou yo mete konfyans yo nan Mwen.”
Leave thy fatherless children: I will make them live: and thy widows shall hope 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 thus saith the Lord: Behold they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup, shall certainly drink: and shalt thou come off as innocent? thou shalt not come off as innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink.
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 sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bosra shall become a desolation, and a reproach, and a desert, and a curse: and all her cities shall be everlasting wastes.
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!”
I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent to the nations: Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and let us rise up to battle.
15 “Paske gade byen, Mwen te fè nou piti pami nasyon yo, meprize pami lòm.
For behold I have made thee a little one among the nations, despicable among 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.
Thy arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart: O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, and endeavourest to lay hold on the height of the hill: but though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as an eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith 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 shall be desolate: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
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 Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha, and the neighbours thereof, saith the Lord: there shall not a man dwell there, and there shall no son of man inhabit it.
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?”
Behold one shall come up as a lion from the swelling of the Jordan, against the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall abide me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?
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.
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation.
21 Latè te souke akoz bri chit yo. Gen yon gwo kri anmwey! Bri li te rive jis nan Lamè Wouj.
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the cry of their voice is heard 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.
Behold he shall come up as an eagle, and fly: and he shall spread his wings over Bosra: and in that day the heart of the valiant ones of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.
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.
Against Damascus. Emath is confounded and Arphad: for they have heard very bad tidings, they are troubled as in the sea: through care they could not rest.
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 is undone, she is put to flight, trembling hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her as a woman in labour.
25 Ki jan vil lwanj Mwen an pa vin dezète, vil lajwa Mwen an!
How have they forsaken the city of renown, the city 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.
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets: and all the men of war shall be silent in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
27 Mwen va mete dife nan miray Damas lan e li va devore tou bèl palè Ben-hadad yo.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, rind it shall devour the strong holds of Benadad.
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.
Against Cedar and against the kingdoms of Asor, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon destroyed. Thus saith the Lord: Arise, and go ye up to Cedar, and waste 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!’
They shall take their tents, and their flocks: and shall carry off for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels: and they shall call fear upon them round about.
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.
Flee ye, get away speedily, sit in deep holes, you that inhabit Asur, saith the Lord: for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived designs against you.
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.”
Arise, and so up to a nation that is at ease, and that dwelleth securely, saith the Lord: they have neither gates, nor bars: they dwell alone.
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 shall be for a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle for a booty, and I will scatter into every wind them that have their hair cut round, and I will bring destruction upon them from I all their confines, saith 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 Asor shall be a habitation for dragons, desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, nor son of man inhabit it.
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 that came to Jeremias the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, saying:
35 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va kraze banza Élam nan, pi fò nan pwisans pa yo.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will break the bow of Elam, and their chief strength.
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 bring upon Elam the four winds from the fear quarters of heaven: and I will scatter them into all these winds: and there shall be no nation, to which the fugitives of Elam shall 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 cause Elam to be afraid before their enemies, and in the sight of them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce wrath, saith the Lord: and will send the sword after them, till I consume 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.
And I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy kings and princes from thence, saith the Lord.
39 ‘Men li va vin rive nan dènye jou yo, ke Mwen va restore fòtin Élam yo’, deklare SENYÈ a.”
But in the latter days I will cause the captives of Elam, to return, saith the Lord.
