Jeremiah 15
1 Then sayde the Lord vnto me, Though Moses and Samuel stoode before mee, yet mine affection coulde not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them depart.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Menm si Moyiz ak Samyèl ta kanpe la pou plede avè m' pou yo, mwen pa t'ap gen pitye pou pèp sa a. Wete yo devan je m'. Fè yo ale.
2 And if they say vnto thee, Whither shall we depart? then tell them, Thus saith the Lord, Such as are appointed to death, vnto death: and such as are for the sworde, to the sworde: and such as are for the famine, to the famine: and such as are for the captiuitie, to the captiuitie.
Lè y'a mande ou kote pou yo ale, w'a di yo: Men sa Seyè a di: Sa ki la pou mouri anba maladi pral mouri anba maladi! Sa ki la pou mouri nan lagè pral mouri nan lagè! Sa ki la pou mouri grangou pral mouri grangou! Sa ki la pou depòte, yo pral depòte yo!
3 And I wil appoint ouer them foure kindes, sayth the Lord, the sworde to slay, and the dogs to teare in pieces, and the soules of the heauen, and the beastes of the earth to deuoure, and to destroy.
Mwen pral voye kat kalite malè sou yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa: Nepe pou touye yo, chen pou trennen yo pote ale, zwezo nan syèl pou devore yo, bèt nan bwa pou fini ak yo.
4 I will scatter them also in all kingdomes of the earth, because of Manasseh the sonne of Hezekiah King of Iudah, for that which he did in Ierusalem.
M'ap fè tout nasyon sou latè sezi lè y'a wè sa ki rive yo poutèt sa Manase, pitit gason Ezekyas la, te fè nan lavil Jerizalèm lè li te wa nan peyi Jida a.
5 Who shall then haue pitie vpon thee, O Ierusalem? or who shalbe sorie for thee? or who shall go to pray for thy peace?
Seyè a di: -Ki moun ki va gen pitye pou nou, nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm? Ki moun ki va pran lapenn pou nou? Ki moun ki va kite sa y'ap fè pou vin pran nouvèl nou?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, sayth the Lord, and gone backward: therefore wil I stretch out mine hand against thee, and destroy thee: for I am weary with repenting.
Se nou menm ki voye m' jete. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Se nou menm ki vire do ban mwen. Se konsa, mwen leve men m' sou nou pou m' detwi nou, paske mwen bouke pran pasyans ak nou.
7 And I wil scatter them with the fanne in the gates of the earth I haue wasted, and destroyed my people, yet they would not returne from their wayes.
Nan tout ti bouk nan peyi a, mwen mete nou nan laye pou vannen nou tankou pay. Mwen detwi pèp mwen an, mwen kite yo san pitit. Men, yo pa kite move chemen yo t'ap swiv la.
8 Their widdowes are increased by mee aboue the sande of the sea: I haue brought vpon them, and against the assembly of the yong men a destroyer at noone day: I haue caused him to fal vpon them, and the citie suddenly, and speedily.
Mwen fè gen plis madanm ki pèdi mari yo nan peyi a pase gen grenn sab bò lanmè. Mwen touye jenn gason nou yo ki te fèk parèt nan lavi a. Mwen mete manman yo nan lapenn. M' rete konsa m' ba yo kè sere ak kè sote.
9 Shee that hath borne seuen, hath bene made weake: her heart hath failed: the sunne hath failed her, whiles it was day: she hath bene confounded, and ashamed, and the residue of them will I deliuer vnto the sworde before their enemies, sayth the Lord.
Manman ki pèdi sèt pitit la tonbe san konesans. Souf li kout. Gwo midi, solèy kouche pou li. Li wont, li pa konn sa pou l' fè ankò. M'ap lage sa ki vivan toujou nan nou yo nan men lènmi k'ap touye yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
10 Wo is mee, my mother, that thou hast borne mee, a contentious man, and a man that striueth with the whole earth I haue neither lent on vsury, nor men haue lent vnto me on vsurie: yet euery one doeth curse me.
Ala yon malè pou mwen! O manman mwen, poukisa ou te fè m'? Mwen nan kont, mwen nan pale anpil ak tout moun nan peyi a. Mwen pa prete moun lajan, mwen pa prete lajan nan men moun. Malgre sa, tout moun ap ban m' madichon.
11 The Lord sayd, Surely thy remnant shall haue wealth: surely I will cause thine enemie to intreate thee in the time of trouble, and in the time of affliction.
Seyè, se pou tout madichon yo rive m' vre si mwen pa sèvi ou byen, si mwen pa t' plede avè ou pou tout lènmi m' yo, lè yo te nan malè, lè yo te nan tou sak pa bon.
12 Shall the yron breake the yron, and the brasse that commeth from the North?
Pesonn pa ka kraze bout fè k'ap soti nan nò a, fè ki melanje ak kwiv la.
13 Thy substance and thy treasures wil I giue to be spoyled without gaine, and that for all thy sinnes euen in all thy borders.
Seyè a di m' ankò: -M'ap pran tout richès ak tout trezò pèp mwen an, m'ap lage yo nan piyay. Se konsa yo pral peye pou tout peche yo te fè toupatou nan peyi a.
14 And I wil make thee to go with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burne you.
M'ap fè nou tounen domestik lènmi nou yo nan yon peyi nou pa konnen, paske nou fè m' fè kolè. Tankou yon dife m'ap boule nou.
15 O Lord, thou knowest, remember me, and visite me, and reuenge me of my persecuters: take mee not away in the continuance of thine anger: know that for thy sake I haue suffered rebuke.
Lè sa a mwen di: -Ou menm, Seyè, ou konn tout bagay. Pa bliye m' non! Vin pote m' sekou! Tire revanj pou mwen sou moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo! Pa al twò dousman ak yo pou yo pa gen tan touye m'. Chonje se poutèt ou y'ap joure m' konsa!
16 Thy wordes were founde by me, and I did eate them, and thy worde was vnto me the ioy and reioycing of mine heart: for thy Name is called vpon me, O Lord God of hostes.
Lè ou pale avè m', mwen koute tou sa ou di m'. Pawòl ou yo, se tout plezi m'. Yo fè kè m' kontan, paske yo mete m' apa pou ou, Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
17 I sate not in the assembly of the mockers, neither did I reioyce, but sate alone because of thy plague: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
Mwen pa pèdi tan m' chita ak moun k'ap bay blag pou m' pran plezi m' ak yo. Ou te pran m' anba ponyèt ou. M' mete kò m' sou kote, paske ou te fè m' fache menm jan avè ou!
18 Why is mine heauines continuall? and my plague desperate and cannot be healed? why art thou vnto me as a lyar, and as waters that faile?
Poukisa m'ap soufri san rete konsa? Poukisa kote m' blese a pa ka geri? M' pa ka jwenn renmèd pou li. Gen lè ou soti pou ou woule m'? Ou tankou yon sous ki bay dlo lè l' vle.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou returne, then wil I bring thee againe, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take away the precious from the vile, thou shalt be according to my worde: let them returne vnto thee, but returne not thou vnto them.
Men sa Seyè a reponn mwen: -Si ou tounen vin jwenn mwen, m'ap resevwa ou, w'a kanpe devan m' ankò pou ou sèvi m'. Si ou sispann pale anlè pou se bon pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch ou ase, m'a fè ou pale pou mwen ankò. Lè sa a, se pèp la ki va tounen vin jwenn ou. Ou p'ap bezwen al dèyè yo.
20 And I will make thee vnto this people a strong brasen wall, and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not preuaile against thee: for I am with thee to saue thee and to deliuer thee, saith ye Lord.
M'ap fè ou kanpe devan moun sa yo tankou yon miray fèt an kwiv byen solid. Y'a goumen avè ou, men yo p'ap ka fè ou anyen. M'ap kanpe la avè ou pou m' pwoteje ou, pou m' delivre ou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
21 And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeeme thee out of the hand of the tyrants.
M'ap delivre ou anba men mechan yo, m'ap fè ou soti anba ponyèt lwijanboje yo.
