Jeremiah 20
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
Lè Paschhur, prèt la, fis a Immer a, ki te chèf ofisye lakay SENYÈ a, te tande Jérémie fè pwofesi sila yo,
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of the LORD.
Paschhur te fè yo bat Jérémie, pwofèt la. Li te mete li nan sèp yo ki te kote Pòtay Anwo Benjamin an, ki te nan lakay SENYÈ a.
3 It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, "The LORD has not called your name 'Pashhur,' but 'Magor-Missabib.'
Nan pwochen jou a, lè Paschhur te lage Jérémie sòti nan sèp yo, Jérémie te di li: “Paschhur se pa non ke SENYÈ a te bay ou, men pito Magor-Missabib.
4 For thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va fè ou vin yon gwo laperèz pou pwòp tèt ou, ak tout zanmi ou yo. Pandan zye ou toujou ap gade, yo va tonbe pa nepe lènmi pa yo. Se konsa, mwen va livre tout Juda, pou tonbe nan men a wa Babylone nan. Li va pote yo ale tankou egzile Babylone e li va touye yo ak nepe.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
Anplis, Mwen va livre tout richès vil sa a, tout pwodwi li yo ak tout bagay koute chè li yo, menm tout trezò a wa a Juda yo, e mwen va livre yo nan men a lènmi yo. Yo va piyaje yo, pote yo ale, e pote yo Babylone.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.'"
Konsa, ou menm, Paschhur, ou menm ak tout sila ki rete lakay ou yo, va ale an kaptivite. Ou va antre nan Babylone. Ou va mouri la, e la, ou va antere; ou menm avèk tout zanmi ou yo ki te bay fo pwofesi yo.’”
7 LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I am, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing-stock all day long; everyone mocks me.
O SENYÈ, Ou te mennen m e mwen te mennen; Ou pi fò pase m, e Ou te genyen m. Mwen te vin yon gwo blag tout lajounen; se tout moun k ap moke mwen.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, "Violence and destruction." because the word of the LORD is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
Paske chak fwa ke m pale, mwen kriye fò; mwen pwoklame vyolans ak destriksyon! Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te fè m resevwa repwòch. Mwen pase nan rizib tout lajounen.
9 If I say, "I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name," then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't contain it.
Si mwen di: “Mwen p ap sonje Li ankò, ni pale ankò nan non Li”, alò, anndan kè mwen vin kon yon dife k ap brile ki fèmen nan zo m. Mwen bouke kenbe l anndan m, mwen pa kapab.
10 For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. "Denounce, and we will denounce him," say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; "perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him."
Paske mwen tande detripe nan zòrèy anpil moun: “Danje, danje toupatou! Denonse! Wi, annou denonse li!” Tout zanmi m ke m kon fè konfyans yo, k ap tann pou yo wè lè mwen tonbe, ap di: “Petèt nou ka mennen l, pou nou ka vin enpoze nou sou li e konsa, nou va pran vanjans sou li.”
11 But the LORD is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
Men SENYÈ a avè m kon yon ewo fewòs. Akoz sa, pèsekitè mwen yo va tonbe vin fè bak. Yo p ap reyisi. Yo va wont nèt akoz yo fè fayit, ak yon wont ki p ap janm pase, ki p ap janm bliye.
12 But, the LORD of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.
Sepandan, O SENYÈ dèzame yo, Ou menm ki sonde moun dwat yo, ki wè panse ak kè a; kite mwen wè vanjans Ou sou yo; paske a Ou menm, mwen te konfye ka m nan.
13 Sing to the LORD, praise the LORD; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Chante a SENYÈ a, louwe SENYÈ a! Paske Li te delivre nanm a malere a soti nan men a malfektè yo.
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born: do not let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
Kite jou ke mwen te fèt la modi; kite jou ke manman m te akouche m nan vin pa beni!
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.
Kite nonm ki te mennen nouvèl kote papa m nan, ki te di: “Yon tigason te fèt a ou menm,” e ki te fè l byen kontan an, vin modi.
16 Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and did not repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
Men kite nonm sa a vin kon gwo vil ke SENYÈ a te kraze nèt san pitye. Kite li tande gwo kri nan granmmaten ak kri “Anmwey” a midi,
17 because he did not kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
akoz li pa t touye m avan mwen te fèt, pou manman m ta ka sèvi kon tonbo a pou vant li rete ansent pou tout tan.
18 Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Poukisa mwen te janm sòti nan vant, pou m ta gade twoub ak tristès, pou jou m yo ta pase nan wont?
