Jeremiah 7
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, ki te di:
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
“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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to 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 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
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 thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
Paske si, anverite, nou korije chemen nou yo, ak zèv nou yo; si, anverite, nou pratike jistis antre yon nonm ak vwazen li,
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
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 I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
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 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
Gade byen, nou ap mete konfyans nan pawòl riz yo. Yo p ap ka fè anyen pou nou.
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
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 you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do 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 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
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 now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess 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 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
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 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
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 have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed 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 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
“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 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Èske ou pa wè ki sa y ap fè nan vil Juda yo ak nan lari Jérusalem yo?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to 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 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own 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 said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not 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 said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Ajoute ofrann nou yo sou sakrifis nou yo e manje chè.
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
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 I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for 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 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
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 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
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 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above 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 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
“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 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from 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 your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves 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 sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile 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 have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My 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, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without 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 the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
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 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
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.”
