< Jeremiah 8 >

1 At that time, sayeth the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the Kings of Iudah, and the bones of their princes, and the bones of the Priests and the bones of the Prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Ierusalem out of their graues.
“Nan lè sa a”, deklare SENYÈ a: “yo va mennen fè vin parèt zo a wa a Juda yo, ak zo a prens pa yo, zo a prèt yo ak zo a pwofèt yo, e zo a pèp Jérusalem yo soti nan tonm pa yo.
2 And they shall spread them before the sunne and the moone, and all the host of heauen, whom they haue loued, and whome they haue serued, and whome they haue followed, and whome they haue sought, and whome they haue worshipped: they shall not be gathered nor be buried, but shall be as doung vpon the earth.
Yo va gaye yo parèt devan solèy la, lalin nan ak tout lame syèl, ke yo te renmen yo, ke yo te sèvi yo, ke yo te kouri dèyè yo, e ke yo te adore yo. Yo p ap ranmase, ni yo p ap antere; yo va rete kon fimye bèt sou sifas latè.
3 And death shall bee desired rather then life of all the residue that remaineth of this wicked familie, which remaine in all the places where I haue scattered them, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
Epi pami retay sila ki rete nan fanmi mechan sila yo, se lanmò ke y ap chwazi pito ke lavi, retay ki rete nan tout plas ke M te konn bourade yo rive yo,” deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.
4 Thou shalt say vnto them also, Thus sayeth the Lord, Shall they fall and not arise? shall he turne away and not turne againe?
“Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “‘Èske moun konn tonbe pou l pa leve ankò? Èske moun konn vire kite pou l pa retounen
5 Wherefore is this people of Ierusalem turned backe by a perpetuall rebellion? they gaue themselues to deceit, and would not returne.
Poukisa pèp sa a, Jérusalem, te vire akote nan enfidelite san rete a? Yo kenbe rèd a desepsyon. Yo refize retounen.
6 I hearkened and heard, but none spake aright: no man repented him of his wickednesse, saying, What haue I done? euery one turned to their race, as the horse rusheth into the battell.
Mwen te koute e te tande, men yo pa t pale sa ki dwat; okenn moun pa t repanti de mechanste yo pou l ta di: ‘Kisa mwen te fè la a?’ Yo chak vin vire nan pwòp chemen pa yo, tankou yon cheval k ap kouri antre nan batay.
7 Euen the storke in the aire knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle and the crane and the swallowe obserue the time of their comming, but my people knoweth not the iudgement of the Lord.
Menm zwazo sigòy anlè a konnen sezon li. Toutrèl ak iwondèl ak valèt kontwole lè antre sòti pa yo; men pèp Mwen an pa konnen règleman SENYÈ a.
8 Howe doe yee say, Wee are wise, and the Lawe of the Lord is with vs? Loe, certeinly in vaine made hee it, the penne of the scribes is in vaine.
“‘Kòman nou ka di: “Mwen saj’, epi lalwa SENYÈ a avèk nou?” Men gade byen, fo plim a skrib yo fè sa tounen gwo manti.
9 The wise men are ashamed: they are afraid and taken. loe, they haue reiected the word of the Lord, and what wisdome is in them?
Mesye saj yo vin wont, yo vin deranje e sezi. Gade byen, yo te rejte pawòl SENYÈ la. Ki kalite sajès ka rete nan yo?
10 Therefore will I giue their wiues vnto others, and their fieldes to them that shall possesse them: for euery one from the least euen vnto the greatest is giuen to couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, euery one dealeth falsely.
Akoz sa, Mwen va bay madanm pa yo a lòt moun, ak chan pa yo a lòt moun k ap okipe yo. Paske soti nan pi piti a jis rive nan pi gran an, yo tout lanvi gen sa ki pou lòt. Soti nan pwofèt la jis rive nan prèt la, tout aji ak desepsyon.
11 For they haue healed the hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
Yo fè gerizon pèp Mwen an ak pansma lejè. Y ap di: “Lapè, lapè,” men nanpwen lapè.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore shall they fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayeth the Lord.
Èske yo pa t wont akoz zak abominab yo te fè yo? Anverite, yo pa t wont. Yo pa t konprann menm ki jan pou yo ta vin wont. Akoz sa, yo va tonbe pami sila k ap tonbe yo. Nan lè pinisyon pa yo, yo va abese,” di SENYÈ a.
13 I wil surely consume them, sayth the Lord: there shalbe no grapes on the vine, nor figges on the figtree, and the leafe shall fade, and the things that I haue giuen them, shall depart from them.
“‘Anverite, Mwen va detwi yo nèt, “deklare SENYÈ a. P ap gen rezen sou chan rezen an, ni fig sou pye figye etranje a. Fèy yo va fennen, epi sa ke M te bay yo va disparèt.’”
14 Why doe we stay? assemble your selues, and let vs enter into the strong cities, and let vs be quiet there: for the Lord our God hath put vs to silence and giuen vs water with gall to drinke, because we haue sinned against the Lord.
“Poukisa nou chita an plas? Rasanble nou! Annou antre nan vil fòtifye yo, epi la, annou rete an silans; paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou tonbe an silans. Li te bannou dlo anpwazone pou nou bwè, paske nou te peche kont SENYÈ a.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold troubles.
Nou te tann lapè, men anyen bon pa t vini; yon tan gerizon, men gade byen, gwo laperèz.
16 The neying of his horses was heard from Dan, the whole lande trembled at the noyse of the neying of his strong horses: for they are come, and haue deuoured the land with all that is in it, the citie, and those that dwell therein.
Soti nan Dan te tande gwo souf cheval. Ak son ranni a etalon li yo, tout tè a souke; paske yo te vini devore peyi a ak tout ki sa ki ladann, vil la ansanm ak tout moun ki rete ladann.
17 For beholde, I will sende serpents, and cockatrices among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall sting you, sayth the Lord.
“Paske gade byen, Mwen ap voye sèpan yo kont nou, vipè yo ki p ap ka chame; e yo va mòde nou,” deklare SENYÈ a.
18 I would haue comforted my selfe against sorowe, but mine heart is heauie in me.
Tristès Mwen depase gerizon; kè M fennen anndan m!
19 Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people for feare of them of a farre countrey, Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why haue they prouoked mee to anger with their grauen images, and with the vanities of a strange god?
Gade byen! Koute kri a fi pèp mwen an soti nan yon peyi byen lwen: “Èske SENYÈ a pa nan Sion? Èske wa li a pa nan li?” “Poukisa yo pwovoke fachez Mwen ak imaj taye yo; ak zidòl etranje yo?”
20 The haruest is past, the sommer is ended, and we are not holpen.
“Rekòlt la fin pase. Gran sezon an fini, e nou poko sove.”
21 I am sore vexed for the hurt of ye daughter of my people: I am heauie, and astonishment hath taken me.
Akoz fi a pèp mwen an brize, mwen menm brize tou; mwen fè dèy konsi pou yon mò. Mwen kraze ba nèt.
22 Is there no balme at Gilead? is there no Physition there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recouered.
Èske pa gen pomad gerizon nan Galaad? Èske nanpwen doktè la? Alò poukisa lasante fi a pèp mwen an pa t restore?
