47 ¶ Ou menm, lavil Babilòn, desann sou fotèy ou a! Al chita atè nan pousyè! Yon lè, ou te tankou yon jenn tifi. Wi, kapital moun peyi Kalde yo pral chita atè plat, yo p'ap janm konsidere ou ankò tankou yon bèl tifi ki renmen plezi, ki pa nan leve ni lou ni lejè.

Pran wòl moulen yo, al moulen farin! Wete vwal ki sou tèt ou a! Moute ke rad ou wotè jenou ou. Dekouvri janm ou pou ou janbe dlo.

Rete toutouni pou moun ka wè jan ou tonbe ba! Mwen pral tire revanj. Pesonn p'ap ka rete m'.

Moun k'ap delivre nou an rele Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki yon Bondye apa.

Men sa li di lavil Babilòn: Chita la! Pa di yon mo! Rete nan fènwa a! Yo p'ap janm rele ou ankò larenn tout peyi yo.

Wi, mwen te move sou pèp mwen an. Mwen pa t' aji ak yo tankou moun pa m'. Mwen te lage yo nan men ou. Men, ou te san pitye pou yo. Ou te aji mal anpil, ata ak vye granmoun yo.

¶ Ou te mete nan tèt ou ou t'ap toujou larenn. Ou pa t' rete kalkile bagay sa yo byen nan tèt ou. Ou pa t' kalkile ki jan sa tapral fini.

Koulye a, louvri zòrèy ou, ou menm ki renmen pran plezi ou, ou menm ki chita kè pòpòz epi k'ap di nan kè ou: Se mwen menm ki sèl chèf. Nanpwen lòt! Mwen p'ap janm pèdi mari m'. Mwen p'ap janm konnen sa ki rele pèdi pitit!

Enben! De malè sa yo pral tonbe sou ou anmenmtan, yon sèl jou. Ou pral pèdi pitit ou yo ansanm ak mari ou! Wi, malè sa yo pral tonbe ansanm sou ou, malgre tout maji ou pral fè yo, malgre pakèt wanga ou genyen yo!

10 Ou te konte sou mechanste ou t'ap fè yo. Ou t'ap di nan kè ou pesonn pa wè ou. Bon konprann ak konesans vire tèt ou. Ou t'ap di nan kè ou se ou menm ki sèl chèf. Nanpwen lòt.

11 Yon malè pral tonbe sou ou, ou p'ap ka detounen l' ak maji ou yo. Yon sèl malè pral tonbe sou ou, ou p'ap ka fè anyen pou ou anpeche l' rive ou. W'a rete konsa, yon boulvès pral tonbe sou ou, yon boulvès ou pa t' janm mete nan tèt ou te ka rive ou.

12 Ou mèt rete ak maji ou yo, ak tout wanga ou yo! Depi ou jenn w'ap fatige kò ou sèvi ak yo. Ou pa janm konnen, yo ka fè kichòy pou ou! Ou ka fè moun pè ou ak yo!

13 Ou chaje ak moun k'ap ba ou konsèy jouk ou pa konn sa pou ou fè. Se pou moun ki te ba ou tout konsèy sa yo vini koulye a, se pou yo sove ou, yo menm k'ap etidye zetwal, yo menm k'ap separe syèl la an divès zòn, yo menm k'ap di ou chak lalin nouvèl tou sa ki gen pou rive.

14 Yo tankou ti moso pay. Yon sèl dife pral boule yo. Yo p'ap menm ka sove pwòp tèt pa yo. Se p'ap yon ti dife tankou dife yo fè pou kwit manje ni tankou boukan yo limen pou moun chofe dife.

15 Men kote konsèy moun sa yo ap mennen ou. Ou te touye tèt ou ap sèvi yo depi ou te jenn tifi. Y'ap kouri kite ou, yo chak bò pa yo. Yo yonn p'ap rete pou delivre ou!

The Fall of Babylon

47 “Go down, sit in the dust,(A)
    Virgin Daughter(B) Babylon;
sit on the ground without a throne,
    queen city of the Babylonians.[a](C)
No more will you be called
    tender or delicate.(D)
Take millstones(E) and grind(F) flour;
    take off your veil.(G)
Lift up your skirts,(H) bare your legs,
    and wade through the streams.
Your nakedness(I) will be exposed
    and your shame(J) uncovered.
I will take vengeance;(K)
    I will spare no one.(L)

Our Redeemer(M)—the Lord Almighty(N) is his name(O)
    is the Holy One(P) of Israel.

“Sit in silence,(Q) go into darkness,(R)
    queen city of the Babylonians;(S)
no more will you be called
    queen(T) of kingdoms.(U)
I was angry(V) with my people
    and desecrated my inheritance;(W)
I gave them into your hand,(X)
    and you showed them no mercy.(Y)
Even on the aged
    you laid a very heavy yoke.
You said, ‘I am forever(Z)
    the eternal queen!’(AA)
But you did not consider these things
    or reflect(AB) on what might happen.(AC)

“Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure,
    lounging in your security(AD)
and saying to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.(AE)
I will never be a widow(AF)
    or suffer the loss of children.’
Both of these will overtake you
    in a moment,(AG) on a single day:
    loss of children(AH) and widowhood.(AI)
They will come upon you in full measure,
    in spite of your many sorceries(AJ)
    and all your potent spells.(AK)
10 You have trusted(AL) in your wickedness
    and have said, ‘No one sees me.’(AM)
Your wisdom(AN) and knowledge mislead(AO) you
    when you say to yourself,
    ‘I am, and there is none besides me.’
11 Disaster(AP) will come upon you,
    and you will not know how to conjure it away.
A calamity will fall upon you
    that you cannot ward off with a ransom;
a catastrophe you cannot foresee
    will suddenly(AQ) come upon you.

12 “Keep on, then, with your magic spells
    and with your many sorceries,(AR)
    which you have labored at since childhood.
Perhaps you will succeed,
    perhaps you will cause terror.
13 All the counsel you have received has only worn you out!(AS)
    Let your astrologers(AT) come forward,
those stargazers who make predictions month by month,
    let them save(AU) you from what is coming upon you.
14 Surely they are like stubble;(AV)
    the fire(AW) will burn them up.
They cannot even save themselves
    from the power of the flame.(AX)
These are not coals for warmth;
    this is not a fire to sit by.
15 That is all they are to you—
    these you have dealt with
    and labored(AY) with since childhood.
All of them go on in their error;
    there is not one that can save(AZ) you.
