< Jeremiah 19 >
1 Thus sayth the Lord, Goe, and buy an earthen bottel of a potter, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients 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 goe forth vnto the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is by the entrie of the East gate: and thou shalt preache there the wordes, 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 shalt say, Heare yee the worde of the Lord, O Kings of Iudah, and inhabitantes of Ierusalem, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring a plague vpon this place, the which whosoeuer heareth, his eares 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 haue forsaken me, and prophaned this place, and haue burnt incense in it vnto other gods, whome neyther they, nor their fathers haue knowen, nor the Kings of Iudah (they haue filled this place also 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 haue built the hie places of Baal, to burne their sonnes with fire for burnt offrings vnto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my minde)
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, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor ye valley of Ben-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 bring the counsell of Iudah and Ierusalem to nought in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seeke their liues: and their carkeises will I giue to be meate for ye foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the fielde.
“‘“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 citie desolate and an hissing, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and hisse because of all ye 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 feede the with the flesh of their sonnes and with the flesh of their daughters, and euery one shall eate the flesh of his friende in the siege and straitnesse, wherewith their enemies that seeke their liues, shall hold them strait.
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 Then shalt thou breake the bottell 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 vnto them, Thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Euen so will I breake this people and this citie, as one breaketh a potters vessell, that cannot be made whole againe, and they shall bury them 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 doe vnto this place, sayth the Lord, and to the inhabitantes thereof, and I will make this citie like 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 For the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses of the Kings of Iudah shalbe defiled as the place of Topheth, because of al the houses vpon whose roofes they haue burnt incense vnto all the host of heauen, and haue powred out drinke offerings vnto 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 Then came Ieremiah from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stood in the court of the Lordes house, and sayde 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 the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon this citie, and vpon all her townes, all the plagues that I haue pronounced against it, because they haue hardened their neckes, and would not heare my wordes.
“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.’”
