Jeremi 47
1 Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi sou peyi Filisti a, anvan farawon an t' al atake Gaza.
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 Seyè a di konsa: -Gade! Bò nan nò, dlo yo ap gonfle, y'ap fè yon gwo lavalas k'ap desann, y'ap anvayi peyi a, y'ap kouvri tou sa ki ladan l'. Y'ap anvayi lavil yo ak tout moun ladan yo. Moun ap rele, y'ap plenn. Tout moun nan peyi a nan gwo lapenn.
"Thus says the LORD: 'Look, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 Lè y'a tande bri zago chwal yo ap frape tè a, bri cha lagè yo k'ap kouri vini ak bri wou yo k'ap woule atè a, papa p'ap ka fè anyen pou pitit yo, tèlman y'a dekouraje.
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers do not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
4 Lè a rive pou yo ravaje tout peyi Filisti a nèt, pou yo disparèt tout rès moun ki t'ap bay lavil Tir ak lavil Sidon konkou. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap detwi tout moun Filisti yo, tout moun ki soti nan lil Krèt la.
because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
5 Moun Gaza yo nan gwo lapenn, yo kale tèt yo. Moun Askalon yo pa ka pale. Kilè rès moun nan fon Filisti a va sispann kòche kò yo ak kouto pou plenn sò mò yo?
Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?
6 Adye! Kilè nepe Seyè a va sispann touye moun? Tounen nan djenn ou! Rete tou dousman, poze kò ou la!
You sword of the LORD, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put yourself into your sheath; rest, and be still."
7 Men, ki jan pou li fè poze lè Seyè a ba li lòd travay? Li gen pou l' ale jouk lavil Askalon dèyè moun ki rete bò lanmè a. Se la mwen voye l' ale.
How can it be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"
