Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word which he has spoken Yahweh to you O house of Israel.
Men, koute sa Seyè a di sou nou, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
2 Thus - he says Yahweh [the] way of the nations may not you learn and from [the] signs of the heavens may not you be dismayed for they are dismayed the nations from them.
Li di konsa: -Piga nou swiv lòt nasyon yo. Nou pa bezwen pèdi tèt nou lè nou wè siy nan syèl la. Se moun lòt nasyon yo ki pou pè lè konsa.
3 For [the] customs of the peoples [is] futility it for a tree from a forest someone has cut down it [the] work of [the] hands of a craftsman with tool.
Relijyon moun sa yo pa vo anyen. Yo koupe yon pyebwa nan rakbwa, yo fè yon bòs atizan travay li ak sizo.
4 With silver and with gold he beautifies it with nails and with hammers they make strong them and not it will wobble.
Yo dekore l' ak ajan, ak lò. Yo pran mato ak klou yo kloure l' pou fè l' kanpe pou l' pa tonbe.
5 [are] like A scarecrow of a cucumber field they and not they speak certainly they are carried for not they walk may not you be afraid from them for not they do harm and also [is] doing good there not with them.
Bondye sa yo kanpe tankou pikèt nan jaden konkonm. Yo pa ka pale. Se pote pou yo pote yo, paske yo pa ka mache. Nou pa bezwen pè yo, yo pa ka fè anyen ni an byen ni an mal.
6 From there not [is] like you O Yahweh [are] great you and [is] great name your in strength.
Seyè, pa gen tankou ou! Ou gen pouvwa. Yo respekte ou pou sa ou fè.
7 Who? not will he fear you O king of the nations for for you it is befitting that among all [the] wise [people] of the nations and among all kingdom their from there not [is] like you.
Ou se wa tout nasyon. Ki moun ki pa ta gen krentif pou ou! Nan tout moun lespri ki sou latè, nan tout chèf yo, pa gen tankou ou!
8 And in one they are stupid and they may be foolish [the] correction of futilities [is] wood it.
Yo tout se yon bann egare san konprann. Kisa zidòl bwa yo ka moutre yo pase sa?
9 Silver beaten from Tarshish it is brought and gold from Uphaz [the] work of a craftsman and [the] hands of a metalsmith [is] violet stuff and purple clothing their [are the] work of skillful [people] all of them.
Ajan an, se nan peyi Tasis li soti an fèy plat. Lò a soti nan peyi Oufaz. Tou sa se travay bòs atizan ak bòs fòjon. Yo pran twal violèt ak twal wouj pou fè rad mete sou zidòl yo. Sa tou, se atizan ki fè yo ak men.
10 And Yahweh [is] God truth he [is] God living and king of perpetuity from wrath his it shakes the earth and not they will endure nations indignation his.
Men ou menm Seyè, ou se Bondye tout bon an, Bondye vivan an, Wa ki la pou tout tan an. Lè ou ankòlè, tout latè pran tranble, nasyon yo pa ka sipòte.
11 Like this you will say to them gods the who heavens the and earth the not they made may they perish from earth the and from under heavens the these.
Nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl yo, n'a di moun lòt nasyon yo konsa: Tout bondye sa yo ki pa t' fè syèl la ak latè a pral disparèt sou latè, yo yonn p'ap rete anba syèl la.
12 [he] made [the] earth By power his [he] established [the] world by wisdom his and by understanding his he stretched out [the] heavens.
Seyè a te fè latè ak fòs pouvwa li. Li kreye dènye bagay ak bon konprann li. Avèk entèlijans li, li louvri syèl la anwo latè.
13 To [the] sound of giving forth he a tumult of waters in the heavens and he made come up clouds from [the] end of (the earth *Q(K)*) lightning for the rain he makes and he brought out [the] wind from storehouses his.
Li pase lòd, epi dlo ki anwo syèl la pran gwonde. Li fè gwo nwaj yo moute soti toupatou. Li fè zèklè yo klere pou fè lapli vini. Li fè van yo soti kote li te sere yo.
14 He is stupid every person from knowledge he has been put to shame every metalsmith from [the] idol for [is] deception molten image his and not breath [is] in them.
Lè konsa tout moun rete egare, yo pa konprann anyen. Moun k'ap fè zidòl yo wont sa yo fè a, paske bondye yo fè yo se fo bondye yo ye, yo pa gen lavi nan yo.
15 [are] futility They a work of mockery at [the] time of punishment their they will perish.
Yo pa vo anyen. Yo bon pou pase nan betiz. Y'ap disparèt lè Seyè a ap vin regle ak yo.
16 Not [is] like these [the] portion of Jacob for [is [the] one who] formed everything he and Israel [is] [the] tribe of inheritance his [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Men, Bondye Jakòb la pa tankou yo. Se li menm ki fè tout bagay. Li chwazi pèp Izrayèl la pou rele l' pa l'. Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, se konsa yo rele l'.
17 Gather up from [the] ground bundle your (O [you who] dwell *Q(K)*) in the siege.
Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, lènmi sènen nou toupatou. Ranmase pakèt nou!
18 For thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to hurl forth [the] inhabitants of the land at the time this and I will cause distress to them so that they may find.
Men sa Seyè a di nou: Fwa sa a mwen pral mete nou deyò nan peyi a. M'ap bare chemen nou pou nou yonn pa chape.
19 Woe! to me on fracture my [is] severe wound my and I I said surely this [is] a sickness and I will endure it.
Moun Jerizalèm yo rele: -Ki malè sa a pou nou! Nou pran! Pa gen anyen ki ka sove nou! Nou te kwè se yon malè nou ta ka sipòte.
20 Tent my it has been devastated and all tent cords my they have been snapped children my they have gone out from me and there not [are] they there not [is one who] pitches again tent my and [one who] raises tent curtains my.
Yo ravaje tout tant nou yo. Yo koupe tout kòd ki te kenbe yo. Nou pèdi tout pitit nou yo, yo pote yo ale. Pa gen pesonn pou mete tant nou yo kanpe ankò, pesonn pou moute rido nou yo.
21 For they have behaved stupidly the shepherds and Yahweh not they have sought there-fore not they have prospered and all flock their it has been scattered.
Mwen reponn: -Chèf nou yo fin pèdi tèt yo. Yo pa mande Bondye konsèy. Se poutèt sa yo pa t' kapab fè anyen. Yo kite pèp la andebandad.
22 [the] sound of A report there! [it is] coming and a din great from a land of [the] north to make [the] cities of Judah a desolation a habitation of jackals.
Koute non! Nouvèl la ap kouri vini! Gen yon gwo mouvman nan peyi bò nò a. Lame l' yo pral fè lavil peyi Jida yo tounen mazi, kote bèt nan bwa rete.
23 I know O Yahweh that not [belongs] to person way his not [belongs] to a person [who] walks to direct step[s] his.
Seyè, mwen konnen pesonn pa mèt tèt yo, pesonn pa ka kontwole kote yo prale.
24 Correct me O Yahweh only in justice may not [it be] in anger your lest you should diminish me.
Korije pèp ou a, Seyè. Men, pa peze l' twòp! Pa fè kòlè sou li, paske w'a fini avè l'.
25 Pour out rage your on the nations which not they have known you and on clans which on name your not they have called for they have consumed Jacob and they have consumed him and they have made an end of him and habitation his they have devastated.
Mete ou ankòlè sou nasyon ki pa konnen ou yo, sou pèp ki p'ap sèvi ou yo. Paske se yo menm k'ap fin touye pitit Jakòb yo. Y'ap touye yo nèt. Yo fin ravaje peyi kote nou rete a.
