Jeremiah 19
1 Thus said YHWH: “Go, and you have acquired a potter’s earthen vessel, and from [the] elderly of the people, and from [the] elderly 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 you have gone forth to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and have proclaimed there the words that I speak to you,
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 have said, Hear a word of YHWH, you kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem!” Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Behold, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of everyone who is hearing it tingles,
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 that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make incense in it to other gods, that they did not know, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place [with] innocent blood,
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 have built the high places of Ba‘al to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Ba‘al, that I did not command, nor spoke of, nor did it come up on My heart.
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, days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “and this place is no longer called The Tophet and Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but Valley of the 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 have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcass for food to the bird of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth,
“‘“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 have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, everyone passing by it is astonished, and hisses for all its plagues.
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 have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and they each eat the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the constriction with which their enemies constrict them, and those seeking their life.”
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 “And you have broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with you,
“Nan moman sa a, ou gen pou kraze kanari a devan zye a tout moun ki akonpanye ou.
11 and have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: Thus I break this people and this city, as one breaks the potter’s vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury—without 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 so I do to this place—a declaration of YHWH—and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
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 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been as the place of Tophet—defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made incense to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to 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 And Jeremiah comes in from Tophet, to where YHWH had sent him to prophesy, and he stands in the court of the house of YHWH, and he says 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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing to this city, and on all its cities, all the calamity that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck to not hear My words!”
“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.’”
