Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa:
2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
-Koute kondisyon nou te pase nan kontra a. W'a pale ak moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.
3 and say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man that heareth not the words of this covenant,
W'a di yo men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Madichon pou tout moun ki pa kenbe kondisyon ki nan kontra a.
4 which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
Se kontra sa a mwen te pase ak zansèt nou yo lè mwen t'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip, peyi ki te tankou yon gwo dife nan dèyè yo. Mwen te di yo: Se pou nou koute m', se pou nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè. Se konsa, n'a yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm, m'a sèl Bondye nou.
5 that I may establish the oath which I sware unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day. Then answered I, and said, Amen, O LORD.
Lè sa a m'a kenbe pwomès ak gwo sèman mwen te fè bay zansèt nou yo, pou m' te ba yo yon bon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo. Se peyi sa a ki pa nou jòdi a! Mwen reponn: -Se vre, Seyè!
6 And the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' ankò: -Al repete tout pawòl sa yo byen fò nan zòrèy moun lavil peyi Jida yo, ak nan zòrèy moun nan tout lari lavil Jerizalèm. Di yo: Koute kondisyon ki nan kontra a. Fè tou sa ki ladan l'.
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Paske, depi lè mwen t'ap fè zansèt nou yo soti kite peyi Lejip jouk rive jòdi a, mwen pa manke avèti yo. Depi lè sa a m' dèyè yo, m'ap mande yo pou yo koute sa m' te di yo!
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.
Men yo pa tande, zòrèy yo bouche. Mwen te mande yo pou yo te fè tou sa mwen te ba yo lòd fè nan kontra a, men yo derefize. Se konsa mwen pini yo jan m' te di yo sa nan kontra a.
9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Moun Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm moute konplo sou do mwen.
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Yo tonbe ankò nan menm peche ak zansèt yo ki te refize koute sa m' t'ap di yo. Yo menm tou, yo kouri dèyè lòt bondye pou fè sèvis pou yo. Ni moun peyi Izrayèl yo, ni moun peyi Jida yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak zansèt yo a.
11 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them.
Enben! Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale: Mwen pral voye yon malè sou yo. Yo p'ap ka chape anba l'. Y'a kriye nan pye m', mwen p'ap koute yo.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Lè sa a, se pou moun peyi Jida yo ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo al kriye nan pye bondye y'ap sèvi yo. Se pa pou yo yo te konn boule ofrann yo! Tansèlman, bondye sa yo p'ap ka sove yo lè malè a va rive sou yo.
13 For according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
Nou menm moun peyi Jida, nou gen yon bondye pou chak lavil nan peyi a! Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, mezi lari nou genyen se mezi lotèl nou bati pou boule ofrann pou Baal, zidòl k'ap fè nou wont la!
14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
Ou menm, Jeremi, ou pa bezwen vin plede pou moun sa yo. Ou pa bezwen plenyen pou yo, ni ou pa bezwen lapriyè pou yo. Paske y'a rele nan pye m' lè malè a va rive sou yo, mwen p'ap tande yo.
15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness [with] many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
Seyè a di ankò: -Pèp mwen renmen anpil la gen move lide dèyè tèt yo. Ki dwa yo genyen pou yo vin nan Tanp mwen an? Yo gen lè konprann yo ka egzante malè k'ap vin sou yo a avèk bèl pwomès y'ap fè m' yo, yo ka chape anba l' avèk vyann anpil bèt y'ap ofri pou mwen yo, apre sa pou y' al pran plezi yo?
16 The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair with goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Yon lè, mwen te rele yo: Bèl pye oliv mwen an, plen fèy, chaje donn. Men, koulye a, m'ap vini ak yon bri loraj, m'ap mete dife nan fèy li yo, m'ap kase tout branch li yo.
17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have wrought for themselves in provoking me to anger by offering incense unto Baal.
Se mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te plante pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak pèp Jida a. Men koulye a, mwen pran desizyon pou m' voye malè sou yo. Se yo menm ki chache l' avèk tou sa yo fè ki mal: Se yo ki fè m' fache paske y' al boule ofrann pou Baal!
18 And the LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then thou shewedst me their doings.
Seyè a fè m' konnen yo t'ap moute yon konplo sou do mwen. Li fè m' wè jan yo t'ap manniganse sou do m' pou yo pran m'.
19 But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
Mwen menm, mwen te tankou yon ti mouton tou dou yo t'ap mennen labatwa, mwen pa t' konnen se sou do m' yo t'ap konplote konsa lè yo t'ap di: Annou koupe pyebwa ki byen kanpe a. Ann disparèt li sou latè pou pesonn pa chonje l' ankò.
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
Lè sa a, mwen lapriyè, mwen di: -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ou se yon jij ki pa nan patipri. Ou sonde tou sa ki nan kè ak nan lide moun. Mwen lage kòz mwen nan men ou. Fè m' wè jan w'ap tire revanj ou sou yo.
21 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Thou shalt not prophesy in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
Mesye lavil Anatòt yo te soti pou yo touye m'. Yo di m' konsa: O wi, si ou louvri bouch ou pou pale nan non Seyè a ankò, n'ap touye ou.
22 therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;
Enben, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: M' pral regle ak yo! Jenn gason yo pral mouri nan lagè. Pitit gason ak pitit fi yo pral mouri grangou.
23 and there shall be no remnant unto them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Lè lè a va rive pou yo peye pou sa yo fè a, m'ap voye yon sèl malè sou moun lavil Anatòt yo. Yo yonn p'ap chape.
