< Jeremiah 48 >

1 Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
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.
2 The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
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.
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
Bri a gwo kri k ap sòti Choronaïm; ravaj ak gwo destriksyon!
4 Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Moab fin kraze. Pitit li yo te fè yon kri detrès.
5 For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
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.
6 Flee! Save your lives! Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
Chape poul nou, sove lavi nou, pou nou ka tankou yon bayawonn nan dezè a.
7 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also will be taken. Chemosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
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.
8 The destroyer will come on every city, and no city will escape; the valley also will perish, and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.
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.
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.
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.
10 “Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
“Malè a sila ki fè travay SENYÈ a ak neglijans, e malè a sila ki anpeche nepe l vèse san.
11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
“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.
12 Therefore behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will send to him those who pour off, and they will pour him off; and they will empty his vessels, and break their containers in pieces.
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.
13 Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
Epi Moab va wont pou Kemosch, menm jan lakay Israël te wont pou Béthel, konfyans pa yo.
14 “How do you say, ‘We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war’?
“Kòman nou ka di: ‘Nou se vanyan gèrye e moun plen kouraj pou batay’?
15 Moab is laid waste, and they have gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Armies.
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.
16 “The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
“Gwo dega Moab la prèt pou rive e malè li va chofe rive vit.
17 All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name, say, ‘How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!’
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!’
18 “You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.
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.
19 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’
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?’
20 Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
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.
21 Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,
Jijman fin rive sou plèn nan tou, sou Holon, sou Jahats e kont Méphaath,
22 on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,
Sou Dibon, sou Nebo, sou Beth-Diblathaïm,
23 on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,
Sou Kirjathaïm sou Beth-Gamul, sou Beth-Meon,
24 on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
Sou Kerijoth, sou Botsra, sou tout vil nan peyi Moab yo, ni lwen, ni pre.
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,” says the LORD.
Kòn Moab te fin koupe nèt e bra li te fin kase,” deklare SENYÈ a.
26 “Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he also will be in derision.
“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.
27 For was not Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
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.
28 You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock. Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
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.
29 “We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
“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.
30 I know his wrath,” says the LORD, “that it is nothing; his boastings have done nothing.
Mwen konnen gwo kòlè li,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Men sa initil; gwo ògèy li a pa reyisi anyen.
31 Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
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.
32 With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.
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.
33 Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
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.
34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.
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.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
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.
36 Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes, and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
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.
37 For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
Paske tout tèt vin chòv e tout bab vin koupe kout; genyen blesi sou tout men yo ak twal sak sou kwis.
38 On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
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.
39 “How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
“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.”
40 For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, li va vole rapid tankou èg e lonje zèl li ouvri kont Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
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.
42 Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
Moab va detwi jiskaske li vin pa yon pèp ankò, akoz li te vin awogan anvè SENYÈ a.
43 Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.
Gwo laperèz devan twou fòs, ak pèlen ap vini sou nou, O moun Moab yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
44 “He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,” says the LORD.
“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.
45 “Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
“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.
46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
Malè pou ou, Moab! Pèp Kemosch la fin peri; paske fis nou yo vin prizonye e fi nou yo ale an kaptivite.
47 “Yet I will reverse the captivity of Moab in the latter days,” says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
“Malgre sa, Mwen va restore Moab nan dènye jou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a. Jiska prezan, jijman an rive sou Moab.
