Jeremi 48
1 Men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay sou peyi Moab la: -Ala malè pou moun lavil Nebo yo! Yo ravaje lavil la nèt ale. Moun lavil Kiryatayim yo wont! Lènmi anvayi lavil la, yo pran gwo fò a, yo kraze l' ratè!
To Moab, Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “Woe to Nebo, for it has been devastated. Kiriathaim has been humiliated and captured. Her fortress has been disgraced and crushed.
2 Peyi Moab la pèdi pouvwa li. Nan lavil Esbon yo fè plan pou yo detwi Moab. Yo di: Ann ale, ann disparèt peyi a sou latè! Yo fè lavil Madmèn pe bouch li. Yon gwo lame ap mache pran l'!
The honor of Moab is no more. Their enemies in Heshbon plotted disaster against her. They said, 'Come and let us destroy her as a nation. Madmen will also perish—a sword will go after you.'
3 Moun lavil Owonayim yo ap rele: Men y'ap ravaje nou! Y'ap fè malè sou nou!
Listen! A sound of screaming is coming from Horonaim, where there is ruin and great destruction.
4 Yo kraze peyi Moab. Tout pitit li yo ap rele!
Moab has been destroyed. Her children have made their cries heard.
5 Se dlo nan je y'ap moute lavil Loukit. Sou tout wout pou desann Owonayim, se gwo rèl pou malè ki rive yo!
They go up the hill of Luhith weeping, for on the way down to Horonaim, screams are heard because of the destruction.
6 Y'ap rele: Kouri non, sove lavi nou! Al kache tankou bourik mawon nan dezè a.
Flee! Save your lives and become like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Ou te mete konfyans ou nan fòs ou ak nan richès ou yo! Ou menm tou, lènmi ap anvayi ou! Y'ap depòte Kemòch, bondye ou la, ansanm ak tout pè li yo ak tout chèf li yo.
For because of your trust in your practices and your wealth, you also will be captured. Then Chemosh will go away into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
8 Malè pral tonbe sou tout lavil nou yo. Yo yonn p'ap chape anba l'. L'ap fini ak sa ki nan fon yo. L'ap ravaje sa ki sou platon yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
For the destroyer will come to every city; no city will escape. So the valley will perish and the plain will be devastated, as Yahweh has said.
9 Pare yon mab pou mete sou tonm Moab. Talè konsa yo pral detwi l' nèt. Tout lavil peyi Moab yo fin kraze. P'ap gen yon moun rete la ankò.
Give wings to Moab, for she must certainly fly away. Her cities will become a wasteland, where there is no one to live in them.
10 Madichon pou moun ki pote neglijans nan fè travay Seyè a! Madichon pou moun ki derefize touye nan lagè a!
May anyone who is lazy in doing Yahweh's work be cursed! May anyone who keeps his sword back from shedding blood be cursed!
11 Peyi Moab te toujou viv san ankenn danje depi tout tan. Yo pa janm depòte moun li yo. Li te tankou diven yo kite poze nan barik, san yo pa janm vide l' sot nan yon veso mete l' nan yon lòt. Se konsa li pa janm pèdi gou l'. Li pa janm vante.
Moab has felt secure since he was young. He is like his wine that has never been poured from pot to pot. He has never gone into captivity. Therefore he tastes as good as ever; his flavor remains unchanged.
12 Men lè a rive koulye a, se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Mwen pral voye moun pou yo vide peyi Moab la tankou diven. Yo pral devide veso yo. Yo pral kraze barik yo an miyèt moso.
So see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will send him those who will tip him over and pour out all his pots and shatter his jars.
13 Moun peyi Moab yo pral wont Kemòch, bondye yo a, menm jan moun fanmi Izrayèl yo te wont bondye lavil Betèl ki te tout konfyans yo a.
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their object of trust.
14 Ki jan nou ka fè di: Nou se vanyan gason, sòlda brave danje ki konn fè lagè?
How can you say, 'We are soldiers, powerful fighting men'?
15 Yo fini ak peyi Moab. Yo anvayi tout lavil li yo. Yo ansasinen tout jenn gason ki pi bon lakay li yo. Se mwen menm Wa a, mwen menm yo rele Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
Moab will be devastated and its cities attacked. For its finest young men have gone down to the place of slaughter. This is the king's declaration! Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 Jou pou yo fini ak Moab la ap pwoche. Malè ki pral tonbe sou Moab la pa lwen rive.
Moab's disaster is soon to happen; calamity is hurrying quickly.
17 Nou menm, vwazen l' yo, plenn sò li! Nou tout ki te konnen jan l' te ye a, nou mèt di: Gade jan yo kraze gwo pouvwa li a! Bèl baton kòmandman ki te nan men l' lan disparèt.
All you who are around Moab, wail; and all you who know its fame, shout this, 'Woe, the strong staff, the honored rod, has been broken.'
18 Nou menm k'ap viv lavil Dibon, desann sou bèl fotèy premye klas nou an. Mete dèyè nou atè nan pousyè a. Paske moun ki te fini ak Moab la ap vin pou nou. L'ap kraze tout gwo fò nou yo.
Come down from your honored place and sit on the dry ground, you daughter living in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab is attacking you, the one who will destroy your strongholds.
19 Nou menm k'ap viv lavil Awoyè. Rete sou bò wout la tann. Mande moun k'ap kouri met deyò yo sa ki pase.
Stand on the road and watch, you people who live in Aroer. Ask the ones who are fleeing and escaping. Say, 'What has happened?'
20 Y'a reponn ou: Peyi Moab tonbe! Plenn sò li, pete rèl pou li: Yo fè l' wont! Fè tout moun ki rete bò ravin Anon an konnen yo ravaje peyi Moab la.
Moab has been shamed, for it has been shattered. Howl and lament; shout for help. Tell it to people by the Arnon River that Moab has been devastated.
21 Jou jijman an rive pou lavil yo ki sou platon an: Olon, Jasa ak Mefat,
Now punishment has come to the hill country, to Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 Didon, Nebo ak Bèt-Diblatayim,
to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,
23 Kiryatayim, Bèt-Gamoul, Bèt Meyon,
to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,
24 Keriyòt, Bozra. Jijman rive sou tout lavil peyi Moab yo, kit sa ki toupre, kit sa ki byen lwen.
To Kerioth and Bozrah, and to all the cities in the land of Moab— the farthest and the closest cities.
25 Yo kraze lògèy moun Moab yo. Yo kraze kouraj yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale.
The horn of Moab has been hacked off; its arm has been broken—this is Yahweh's declaration.
26 Seyè a di ankò: -Fè lavil Moab sou, paske li te kenbe tèt avè m'. Se pou Moab woule nan vonmi l'. Li menm tou, se pou yo pase l' nan rizib.
Make him drunk, because he acted proudly against Yahweh. Let Moab wallow in his vomit, and let him be an object of ridicule.
27 Chonje jan nou te konn ap pase pèp Izrayèl la nan rizib. Eske nou te janm bare yo ap fè bann ak vòlò kifè chak fwa n'ap pale sou yo, n'ap souke tèt nou, n'ap di podjab pou yo?
For did not Israel become an object for laughter to you? Was he found among thieves, so that you shook your head at him as often as you spoke about him?
28 Nou menm moun Moab, kite lavil nou yo, al rete nan twou wòch. Fè tankou ranmye ki fè nich yo nan twou bò falèz.
Abandon the cities and camp on the cliffs, inhabitants of Moab. Become like a dove that is nesting over the mouth of a hole in the rocks.
29 Moun Moab yo se moun ki gen lògèy anpil. Nou te konnen jan moun sa yo te gen lògèy, jan yo te awogan. Yo te kwè wa pa kouzen yo, y'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou moun.
We have heard of Moab's pride—his arrogance, his haughtiness, his pride, his self-glory and the conceit in his heart.
30 Men mwen menm Seyè a, mwen konnen yo te kwè twòp nan tèt yo. Bèl diskou yo t'ap fè yo se te pawòl nan bouch. Tou sa y'ap fè pa vo anyen.
This is Yahweh's declaration—I myself know his defiant speech, which amounts to nothing, like his deeds.
31 Se konsa, m'ap plenn sò moun Moab yo, m'ap rele pou tout peyi Moab yo, pou moun lavil Ki-Erès yo.
So I will howl a lament for Moab, and I will shout in sorrow for all of Moab. I will lament for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32 M'ap kriye pou moun lavil Sibma yo plis pase jan mwen te kriye pou moun lavil Jazè yo. Lavil Sibma te tankou yon gwo pye rezen. Branch li yo travèse lòt bò lanmè Mouri a, yo rive jouk lavil Jazè. Men koulye a, yo ravaje tout rekòt la, yo dechèpiye tout rezen nou te ranmase yo.
I will weep for you more than I did for Jazer, vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed across the Salt Sea and reached as far as Jazer. The destroyers have attacked your summer fruit and your wine.
33 Pa gen kè kontan ak fèt ankò nan jaden rezen peyi Moab yo. Pa gen yon degout diven ankò nan barik yo. Pa gen yon moun k'ap travay nan moulen pou fè diven. Nou pa tande yon moun ap bay ankourajman.
So celebration and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruit trees and the land of Moab. I have put an end to the wine from their winepresses. They will not tread with joyful shouts. Any shouts will not be shouts of joy.
34 Moun Esbon yo ap rele. Yo tande rèl yo jouk lavil Elealè, jouk lavil Jaaz, depi lavil Zoa jouk lavil Owonayim ak Eglat-Chelichya. Ata ti dlo Nimrim lan gen pou l' cheche.
From the shouts at Heshbon as far as Elealeh, their sound is heard at Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, since even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35 M'ap disparèt moun lavil Moab yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap touye moun k'ap fè ofrann pou yo boule sou tèt mòn yo, moun k'ap boule lansan pou bondye yo.
For I will put an end to anyone in Moab who makes sacrifices on the high places and burns incense to his gods—this is Yahweh's declaration.
36 Se poutèt sa, kè m' ap fè m' mal anpil pou moun Moab yo, pou moun Ki-Erès yo. M'ap plenn sò yo tankou moun k'ap jwe fif nan lantèman. Paske yo pèdi tou sa yo te genyen.
So my heart is lamenting for Moab like a flute. My heart is lamenting like flutes for the people of Kir Hareseth. The riches they gained are gone.
37 Yo tout, yo kale tèt yo, yo koupe tout bab nan figi yo, yo kòche tout men yo ak kouto, yo mare sak nan ren yo.
For every head is bald and every beard shaved. Incisions are on every hand, and sackcloth is around their waists.
38 Sou teras anwo tout kay peyi Moab yo, sou tout plas piblik, se plenn moun yo ap plenn. Mwen kraze peyi Moab tankou yon kannari pesonn pa bezwen ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
There is mourning everywhere, on every flat roof of Moab and in Moab's plazas. For I have destroyed Moab like pots that no one wants—this is Yahweh's declaration.
39 Yo fini ak peyi Moab! Plenn sò li. Moab pèdi pye, li wont. Tout nasyon ki nan vwazinaj li yo ap pase l' nan rizib, yo tout sezi wè sa ki rive l'.
How it has been shattered! How they howl in their lamenting! Moab turns its back in shame! So Moab will become an object of derision and a terror to all those who are around him.”
40 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Tankou yon malfini, yon lènmi ap plane ak zèl li yo gran louvri sou Moab.
For Yahweh says this, “See, the enemy will come flying like an eagle, spreading out his wings over Moab.
41 Li pran tout lavil yo, li mete men sou tout fò yo. Jou sa a, vanyan sòlda lame Moab yo te pè tankou yon fanm ki gen tranche.
Kerioth has been captured, and its strongholds have been seized. For in that day the hearts of Moab's soldiers will be like the hearts of women in birth labor.
42 Y'ap fini ak peyi Moab la, y'ap touye dènye moun ladan l', paske li te kenbe tèt ak Seyè a.
So Moab will be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he made himself to be great against Yahweh.
43 Nou menm moun Moab yo, yo pral ban nou sezisman, y'ap fouye twou pou nou tonbe, y'ap pare pèlen pou nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Terror and the pit, and a trap are coming on you, inhabitant of Moab—this is Yahweh's declaration.
44 Moun k'ap kouri pou sezisman pa pran yo pral tonbe nan twou. Lè y'a kouri soti nan twou a, y'ap pran nan pèlen. Paske dat Seyè a te fikse pou li pini Moab la rive sou li. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Anyone who flees because of terror will fall into the pit, and anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap, for I will bring this on them in the year of my vengeance against them—this is Yahweh's declaration.
45 Moun k'ap kouri met deyò yo rive Esbon tou bouke. Y'ap chache pwoteksyon lavil Esbon, lavil kote wa Siyon t'ap gouvènen an: men yo jwenn li ap boule. Dife a gaye, li rive jouk sou fwontyè a, li moute rive jouk sou tèt mòn lwijanboje yo.
The ones who flee will stand in the shadow of Heshbon without any strength, for fire will go out from Heshbon, flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the top of the heads of the boastful people.
46 Sa fè lapenn pou moun Moab yo! Tout moun ki t'ap sèvi Kèmòch yo fini. Yo pran pitit gason ak pitit fi yo, yo fè yo prizonye, yo depòte yo.
Woe to you, Moab! Chemosh's people are destroyed, For your sons are taken as captives and your daughters into captivity.
47 Men nan jou k'ap vin apre yo, m'ap mete peyi Moab la kanpe ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Se tou sa ki pral rive moun Moab yo.
But I will restore the fortunes of Moab in later days—this is Yahweh's declaration.” The judgment on Moab ends here.
