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 thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith 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, saith 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 thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
“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 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; 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 hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith 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 thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth 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 thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee [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 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and [that] for all thy sins, even in all thy 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 [thee] to pass with thine enemies into a land [which] thou knowest 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, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy 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 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy 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 thy hand: for thou hast 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] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou 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 saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou 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 thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith 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 thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee 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.”
