Jeremiah 19
1 Thus saith Jehovah: Go and buy a potter's earthen flagon, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ale achte yon po kanari nan men mèt krich la. Pran kèk nan ansyen a pèp yo, ak kèk nan prèt prensipal yo.
2 and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the pottery-gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
Konsa, ale deyò nan vale Ben-Hinnom nan, ki akote antre pòtay kanari kraze a, e la pwoklame pawòl ke M pale ou yo.
3 and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle;
Di: ‘Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, O wa Juda yo ak moun ki rete Jérusalem yo: konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou mennen gwo malè sou plas sa a, k ap fè zòrèy a tout moun ki tande yo vin toudi.
4 because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place [from me], and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
Akoz yo te abandone Mwen, yo te fè plas sa a vin pa pwòp, e yo te brile sakrifis nan li bay lòt dye, ke ni yo menm, ni papa zansèt yo, ni wa a Juda yo pa t janm konnen—epi akoz yo te plen plas sa a ak san a inosan yo,
5 and they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire as burnt-offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it up into my mind:
akoz yo te bati wo plas a Baal yo pou brile pwòp fis pa yo nan dife kon ofrann brile a Baal yo, yon bagay ke Mwen pa t janm kòmande, ni pale, ni li pa t janm antre nan tèt Mwen.’
6 therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor Valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.
Akoz tout sa a, gade byen, jou yo ap vini,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou plas sa a pa rele ‘Topheth’ ankò, oswa ‘Vale Ben-Hinnom’ nan; men pito, ‘Vale a Gwo Masak’ la.
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life, and their carcases will I give as food to the fowl of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth.
“‘“Mwen va fè nil tout konsèy Juda ak Jérusalem nan plas sa a. Mwen va fè yo tonbe pa nepe devan lènmi yo, e pa men a sila k ap chache lavi yo. Konsa, Mwen va bay kadav yo pou manje a zwazo syèl yo, ak bèt sovaj latè yo.
8 And I will make this city an astonishment and a hissing; every one that passeth by shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
Anplis, Mwen va fè vil sa a yon dega, yon objè degoutan k ap fè moun soufle anlè kon koulèv. Tout moun ki pase akote li va vin etone, e sifle anlè akoz tout dezas li yo.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the straitness wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
Mwen va fè yo manje chè pwòp fis pa yo ak fi pa yo. Yo va manje chè youn lòt nan syèj la, ak nan gwo twoub avèk sila lènmi pa yo, ak sila k ap chache lavi yo va twouble yo.”’
10 And thou shalt break the flagon in the sight of the men that go with thee,
“Nan moman sa a, ou gen pou kraze kanari a devan zye a tout moun ki akonpanye ou.
11 and shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.
Epi di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Se konsa Mwen va kraze pèp sa a ak vil sa a, jis jan ke yon moun kraze yon po kanari, pou l pa ka repare ankò. Yo va antere Topheth, jis lè pa gen plas pou antere ankò.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith Jehovah, and to the inhabitants thereof, and make this city as Topheth.
Se konsa, mwen va trete plas sa a ak moun ki rete ladann yo,” deklare SENYÈ a, “pou fè vil sa a tankou Topheth.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah shall be as the place of Topheth, defiled, all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of the heavens, and have poured out drink-offerings unto other gods.
Lakay Juda ak lakay a wa Juda yo va vin souye kon Topheth, akoz anwo twati a tout kay yo te brile sakrifis a tout lame syèl yo, e te vide bwason kon ofrann a lòt dye yo.”’”
14 And Jeremiah came from Topheth, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of Jehovah's house, and said to all the people,
Konsa, Jérémie te sòti Topheth, kote SENYÈ a te voye l pwofetize a. Li te kanpe nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a e te di a tout pèp la:
15 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her cities all the evil that I have spoken against it; for they have hardened their necks, not to hear my words.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou mennen sou vil sila a ak tout bouk li yo tout gwo twoub ke M te deklare kont li yo, akoz yo te fè tèt yo di pou pa koute pawòl Mwen yo.’”
