Jeremiah 7
1 The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, ki te di:
2 Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
“Kanpe nan pòtay lakay SENYÈ a. La, pwoklame pawòl sa a. Di l konsa: ‘Koute pawòl SENYÈ a, nou tout nan Juda, ki antre nan pòtay sa yo pou adore SENYÈ a!’”
3 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, “Korije chemen nou yo ak zèv nou yo, e Mwen va kite nou rete nan plas sa a.
4 Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.
Pa mete konfyans nan pawòl manti k ap di nou: ‘Sa se tanp SENYÈ a, tanp SENYÈ a, tanp SENYÈ a.’
5 For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour,
Paske si, anverite, nou korije chemen nou yo, ak zèv nou yo; si, anverite, nou pratike jistis antre yon nonm ak vwazen li,
6 And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,
si nou pa oprime etranje a, òfelen an, oswa vèv la e pa vèse san inosan a nan plas sa, ni mache dèyè lòt dye anvè pwòp destriksyon nou,
7 Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer.
alò, Mwen va kite nou rete nan plas sa a, nan peyi ke M te bay a papa zansèt nou yo jis pou tout tan.
8 Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.
Gade byen, nou ap mete konfyans nan pawòl riz yo. Yo p ap ka fè anyen pou nou.
9 Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?
Èske nou va vòlè, touye moun, komèt adiltè, bay fo temwayaj, ofri sakrifis a Baal, e mache dèyè lòt dye ke nou pa t konnen,
10 And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?
epi konsa, vin kanpe devan Mwen nan kay sila a, ki rele pa non Mwen an, pou di M: ‘Nou delivre,’ —konsa pou nou ka fè tout bagay abominab sila yo?
11 Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.
Èske kay sila a, ki rele pa non pa M nan, èske non l vin chanje pou l vin yon kav plen vòlè devan zye nou? Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen te wè l,” deklare SENYÈ a.
12 But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel.
“Men ale koulye a kote plas Mwen an Silo, kote non Mwen te rete an premye a. Gade la pou wè sa M te fè li akoz mechanste a pèp Mwen an, Israël la.
13 Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).
Konsa, akoz nou te fè tout bagay sa yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “akoz Mwen te pale ak nou, lè M te leve bonè pou nou te pale, men nou pa t tande. Mwen te rele nou, men nou pa t reponn.
14 Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.
Akoz sa a, Mwen va fè rive nan kay ki rele pa non Mwen an, nan sila nou mete konfyans lan e plas ke M te bay a nou menm ak papa zansèt nou yo, menm sa M te fè nan Silo a.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.
Mwen va jete nou deyò pou zye m pa wè nou, tankou Mwen te jete tout frè nou yo deyò, tout desandan Éphraïm yo.
16 Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.
“Pou ou menm, pa priye pou pèp sila a. Pa leve yon kri pou yo, ni entèsede avè M, paske Mwen pa tande ou.
17 Seest thou not what they doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
Èske ou pa wè ki sa y ap fè nan vil Juda yo ak nan lari Jérusalem yo?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.
Timoun yo ranmase bwa, papa yo mete dife ladann e fanm yo bat pat farin nan pou fè gato pou rèn syèl la. Yo vide ofrann bwason bay lòt dye yo pou yo ka vekse M.
19 Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lord, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?
Èske yo vekse M? deklare SENYÈ a. “Èske se pa tèt yo ke y ap vekse jis rive nan malkonprann ki rive sou pwòp figi yo?”
20 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.
Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a, “Kòlè Mwen ak chalè Mwen va vide sou plas sa a, ni sou lòm, ni bèt, ni bwa chan, ak sou tout fwi tè yo. Li va brile, e li p ap ka etenn.”
21 Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Ajoute ofrann nou yo sou sakrifis nou yo e manje chè.
22 For I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings and sacrifices.
Paske Mwen pa t pale ak papa zansèt nou yo, ni kòmande yo nan jou ke M te mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la, pou ofrann brile, ni pou sakrifis.
23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be well vnto you.
Men sa ke M te kòmande yo e Mwen te di: ‘Obeyi vwa M, e Mwen va Bondye nou e nou va pèp Mwen. Mache nan tout vwa ke M kòmande nou yo, pou tout bagay ale byen ak nou.’
24 But they would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.
Sepandan, yo pa t obeyi, ni yo pa t panche zòrèy vè Mwen. Men yo te mache nan pwòp konsèy pa yo, nan tèt di a kè mechan yo, e yo te fè an aryè olye yo fè devan.
25 Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.
Depi nan jou ke papa zansèt nou yo te sòti nan peyi Égypte la, jis rive nan jou sila a, Mwen te voye bannou tout sèvitè Mwen yo ak pwofèt yo. Chak jou Mwen te leve granmmaten pou voye yo.
26 Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke and did worse then their fathers.
Sepandan, yo pa t koute Mwen, ni panche zòrèy yo, men yo te fè tèt di. Yo te fè plis mal pase papa yo.
27 Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.
“Ou va pale tout pawòl sa yo avèk yo, men yo p ap koute ou. Ou va rele kote yo, men yo p ap reponn ou.
28 But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone out of their mouth.
Ou va di yo: ‘Sa se nasyon ki pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, ni ki pa t aksepte koreksyon. Verite fin peri e koupe retire nèt nan bouch yo.
29 Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lord hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Koupe retire cheve ou, e jete li. Kòmanse fè gwo kri sou wotè vid yo. Paske SENYÈ a fin rejte e abandone jenerasyon kòlè Li a.’
30 For the children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lord: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute it.
“Paske fis a Juda yo te fè mal nan zye M,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Yo te mete bagay abominab pa yo nan kay ki rele pa non Mwen an, pou souye li.
31 And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
Yo te bati wo plas la nan Topheth, ki nan vale a fis a Hinnom an, pou brile fis ak fi pa yo nan dife, ke M pa t kòmande, ni sa pa t rive nan tèt Mwen.
32 Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.
Pou sa, gade byen, jou yo ap vini,” deklare SENYÈ a: “lè li p ap rele Topheth ankò, ni vale a fis a Hinnom an, men vale a masak la; paske yo va fè antèman Topheth, jis pa gen plas pou antere ankò.
33 And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie them away.
Kadav mouri a pèp sila yo va fè manje pou zwazo syèl yo ak pou bèt latè yo. Epi nanpwen moun k ap chase yo ale.
34 Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom and the voice of the bride: for the lande shalbe desolate.
Nan moman sa a, Mwen va fè sispann soti nan vil a Juda yo ak lari a Jérusalem yo, vwa a kè kontan ak vwa a jennonm k ap marye a, ak fi maryaj la; paske peyi a va devaste nèt.”
