Jeremiah 15
1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Menm si Moïse ak Samuel te kanpe devan M, kè M pa t ap avèk pèp sa a. Voye yo sòti nan prezans Mwen! Kite yo ale nèt!
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say unto you, Where shall we go forth? then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
Konsa l ap rive ke lè yo mande ou: ‘Ki jan n ap prale?’, alò, ou va di yo: ‘Se konsa SENYÈ a pale: “Sila ki pou mouri yo, a lanmò; ak sila ki pou nepe yo, a nepe; sila ki pou gwo grangou yo, a gwo grangou a; e sila ki pou kaptif yo, a kaptivite.”’
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
“Mwen va chwazi sou yo kat kalite jan,” pale SENYÈ a: “nepe ki pou touye, chen ki pou chire yo, e bèt syèl yo, ak bèt latè pou devore e detwi yo.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Mwen va fè yo yon objè sezisman pami tout wayòm latè yo, akoz Manassé, fis a Ézéchias la, wa Juda a, pou sa li te fè Jérusalem nan.”
5 For who shall have pity upon you, O Jerusalem? or who shall lament for you? or who shall go aside to ask how you do?
“Anverite, se kilès k ap gen pitye pou ou, O Jérusalem? Oswa kilès k ap fè gwo kri pou ou? Oswa k ap vire sou kote pou mande si ou byen?
6 You have forsaken me, says the LORD, you are gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with repenting.
Ou menm ki abandonen Mwen an,” deklare SENYÈ a, “Ou kontinye ap fè bak. Pou sa, Mwen te lonje men M kont ou e Mwen te pou detwi ou. Mwen bouke demontre ou konpasyon!
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.
Mwen te vannen yo ak yon fouchèt vannen nan pòtay peyi a. Mwen te prive yo de pitit yo. Mwen te detwi pèp Mwen an. Yo pa t vire kite chemen yo.
8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
Vèv pa yo vin plis ke grenn sab lanmè devan Mwen. Mwen te fè parèt kont yo; kont manman a yon jennonm, yon destriktè a midi. Mwen te sibitman fè desann sou li gwo doulè ak sezisman.
9 She that has borne seven languishes: she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she has been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.
Sila ki te fè sèt pitit gason te vin chagren; li te rale denyè souf. Solèy pa li te vin desann nan mitan lajounen; li te soufri wont e li te menm imilye. Konsa, Mwen va remèt sila ki chape de nepe yo devan lènmi yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on interest, nor men have lent to me on interest; yet every one of them does curse me.
Malè se mwen, manman m, ki te fè mwen, yon nonm ki fè twoub leve, yon nonm ki fè kontansyon nan tout latè a! Mwen pa t prete lajan a lòt moun, ni pèsòn pa t prete mwen; malgre sa, yo tout ban m madichon.
11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with your remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to plead you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
SENYÈ a te di: “Anverite, Mwen va bay ou fòs pou sa ki bon. Anverite, Mwen va fè lènmi an fè siplikasyon pou ou nan yon tan gwo dezas, ak yon tan gwo doulè.
12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
Èske yon moun ka kraze fè; fè ki sòti nan nò, oswa bwonz?
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
Mwen va bay gwo richès ou ak trezò ou yo, kon piyaj ki san frè; sa a, konsa, pou tout peche ou yo, menm anndan tout lizyè ou yo.
14 And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you know not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
Mwen va fè lènmi ou yo mennen yo nan yon peyi ke ou pa konnen; paske yon dife te vin limen nan kòlè Mwen ki va brile sou ou.”
15 O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
Ou menm ki konnen, O SENYÈ, sonje mwen e pran vanjans sou pèsekitè mwen yo. Nan pasyans Ou, O SENYÈ, pa retire m nèt; rekonèt ke pou non Ou, mwen te sipòte repwòch.
16 Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
Pawòl Ou yo te vin twouve; mwen te manje yo. Pawòl Ou yo te vin pou mwen yon gwo jwa ki fè kè m rejwi; paske mwen te rele pa non Ou, O SENYÈ Bondye Dèzame yo.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
Mwen pa t chita nan sèk moun k ap fè banbòch, ni mwen pa t vante tèt mwen wo. Akoz men Ou sou mwen, mwen te chita apa pou kont mwen, paske Ou te ranpli mwen ak endiyasyon.
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
Poukisa, doulè mwen an rete tout tan, eblese mwen an reste san gerizon? Èske Ou menm, anverite, va devni pou mwen kon yon sous twonpe, ak dlo sou sila yo pa ka depann?
19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: let them return unto you; but return not you unto them.
Konsa, pale SENYÈ a: “Si ou retounen, alò, Mwen va mennen ou ankò pou ou kanpe devan M. Si ou separe sa ki presye soti de sa ki san valè, ou va vin tankou bouch Mwen. Yo va retounen kote ou; men ou menm, ou pa p retounen kote yo menm.
20 And I will make you unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
Mwen va fè ou devan pèp sa a, yon miray fòtifye ak bwonz. Malgre yo goumen kont ou, yo p ap genyen sou ou; paske Mwen avèk ou pou ba ou sekou e pou delivre ou,” deklare SENYÈ a.
21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
“Konsa, Mwen va delivre ou nan men a mechan yo e Mwen va rachte ou soti nan men a vyolan yo.”
