< Jeremiah 13 >

1 Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and you will put it on loins your and in water not you must cause to go it.
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Al achte yon sentiwon lenn, mare l' nan ren ou. Men, piga ou tranpe l' nan dlo.
2 And I bought the loincloth according to [the] word of Yahweh and I put [it] on loins my.
Se konsa m' achte yon sentiwon jan Seyè a te di m' lan. Mwen mare l' nan ren mwen.
3 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me a second [time] saying.
Apre sa, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
4 Take the loincloth which you bought which [is] on loins your and arise go Perath towards and hide it there in [the] cleft of the rock.
-Pran sentiwon lenn ou te achte a, sa ki mare nan ren ou lan, ale bò larivyè Lefrat la. W'a kache l' nan yon fant wòch.
5 And I went and I hid it at Perath just as he had commanded Yahweh me.
Mwen leve vre, m' ale bò larivyè Lefrat la, mwen kache l' jan Seyè a te ban m' lòd la.
6 And it was from [the] end of days many and he said Yahweh to me arise go Perath towards and take from there the loincloth which I commanded you to hide it there.
Apre yon bon ti tan, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Leve non! Tounen bò larivyè Lefrat la, al pran sentiwon mwen te ba ou lòd kache a.
7 And I went Perath towards and I dug and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it there and there! it was ruined the loincloth not it was profitable for anything.
Se konsa, m' ale bò larivyè Lefrat la, mwen chache, mwen pran sentiwon an kote m' te kache l' la. Men, li te gate, li pa t' vo anyen ankò.
8 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
9 Thus he says Yahweh thus I will ruin [the] pride of Judah and [the] pride of Jerusalem great.
-Men ki jan mwen pral kraze lògèy moun granpanpan peyi Jida yo, ak gwo lògèy moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
10 The people this wicked who are refusing - to hear words my who walk in [the] stubbornness of own heart their and they have walked after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them and let it be like the loincloth this which not it is profitable for anything.
Moun sa yo se move moun yo ye. Yo refize koute m' lè m' pale yo. Yo fè tèt di, yo fè tout vye lide ki vin nan tèt yo. Y' al dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Se konsa y'ap tounen tankou sentiwon lenn lan ki pa bon pou anyen ankò.
11 For just as it clings loincloth to [the] loins of a person so I have made cling to me all [the] house of Israel and all [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh to become for me a people and a name and praise and honor and not they listened.
Menm jan moun mare sentiwon nan ren yo, se konsa mwen te vle pou moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo te mare avè m', pou yo te ka yon pèp apa pou mwen, yon non, yon lwanj, yon bèl bagay pou mwen. Men yo pa koute m'. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
12 And you will speak to them the word this. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel every wineskin it will be filled wine and they will say to you ¿ really not do we know that every wineskin it will be filled wine.
W'a di yo pawoli sa a: Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Potich diven fèt pou mete diven ladan l'. Y'a reponn ou: Men wi, tout potich diven fèt pou mete diven ladan l'. Se bagay nou konnen.
13 And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to fill all [the] inhabitants of the land this and the kings who sit for David on throne his and the priests and the prophets and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem drunkenness.
Lè sa a w'a di yo: Men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen di: Mwen pral plen vant tout moun nan peyi a ak diven jouk yo sou, depi wa a ki chita sou fotèy David la, prèt yo, pwofèt yo, jouk dènye moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm.
14 And I will smash them each to brother his and the parents and the children alike [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will show pity and not I will have mercy and not I will have compassion from destroying them.
Apre sa, m'ap frape yo yonn ak lòt pou yo kraze, granmoun kou timoun, tout ansanm. M'ap san pitye, mwen p'ap kite yonn chape. Mwen p'ap pran priyè, m'ap touye yo tout.
15 Hear and give ear may not you be haughty for Yahweh he has spoken.
Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, Seyè a ap pale, louvri zòrèy nou pou nou tande! Pa fè gwo kòlèt!
16 Give to Yahweh God your glory before he will bring darkness and before they will stumble feet your on mountains of twilight and you will wait for light and he will make it into deep darkness (and he will make [it] *Q(K)*) into thick darkness.
Fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye nou an, anvan fènwa bare nou, pou pye nou pa al bite sou mòn yo lannwit la, anvan li fè limyè nou t'ap tann lan tounen yon gwo fènwa, yon dekou ki fènwa kou lank.
17 And if not you will listen to it in secret places it will weep self my because of pride and utterly it will weep and it may run down eye my tear[s] for it has been taken captive [the] flock of Yahweh.
Si nou pa koute l', mwen pral kache kò m' yon kote pou m' kriye, paske nou gen twòp lògèy. Je m' pral koule dlo, yo pral ponpe dlo, paske yo pral fè pèp Seyè a prizonye, yo pral depòte yo.
18 Say to the king and to the queen-mother make low sit for it has come down [the] place of head your [the] crown of splendor your.
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Pale ak wa a ansanm ak manman l'. Di yo desann soti sou fotèy yo, paske bèl kouwòn ki te sou tèt yo a tonbe atè.
19 [the] cities of The Negev they have been shut up and there not [is one who] opens it has been taken into exile Judah all of it it has been taken into exile completeness.
Yo sènen tout lavil ki nan sid peyi Jida a. Pesonn pa ka pase. Yo depòte dènye moun peyi Jida yo. Yo pa kite yonn deyò.
20 (Lift up *Q(K)*) eyes your (and see *Q(K)*) those [who] are coming from [the] north where? [is] the flock [which] it was given to you [the] sheep of beauty your.
Jerizalèm, leve je ou gade. Gade lènmi ou yo k'ap desann soti nan nò! Kote moun ki te sou kont ou yo, moun ki t'ap fè ou mache tèt byen wo a?
21 What? will you say that he will appoint over you and you you taught them over you close friends to chief ¿ not labor-pains will they seize you like a woman giving birth.
Kisa w'a di lè w'a wè moun ou te kwè ki te zanmi ou yo leve dèyè ou pou yo vin chèf sou ou nan peyi ou? Ou pral nan lapenn tankou yon fanm ansent ki gen tranche.
22 And if you will say in heart your why? have they happened to me these [things] in [the] greatness of iniquity your they have been uncovered skirts your they have suffered violence heels your.
W'a mande tèt ou: Poukisa tout bagay sa yo ap rive ou? Se paske sa ou te fè a te grav anpil kifè yo mete ou toutouni, yo fè kadejak sou ou.
23 ¿ Will he change a Cushite skin his and a leopard spots its also you you will be able to do good O [those] trained to do evil.
Moun po nwa pa ka chanje koulè po yo. Leyopa pa ka wete takte nwa ki sou kò li yo. Konsa tou, nou menm ki fin gen labitid fè sa ki mal nou pa ka fè sa byen.
24 And I will scatter them like chaff [which] passes away to [the] wind of [the] wilderness.
Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral gaye yo tankou pay van ap gaye nan savann.
25 This [is] lot your [the] portion of measure your from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh that you have forgotten me and you have trusted in falsehood.
Seyè a di: Men sa k'ap tann nou. Men sa mwen deside fè nou paske nou te bliye m', nou t' al mete konfyans nou nan fo bondye.
26 And also I I will strip off skirts your on face your and it will be visible shame your.
Se mwen menm menm ki pral leve rad nou jouk sou tèt nou, pou yo wè nou toutouni.
27 Adulteri your and neighings your [the] wickedness of prostitution your on hills in the field I have seen detestable things your woe! to you O Jerusalem not you are clean after when? yet.
Mwen te wè n'ap fè bagay mwen rayi. Tankou yon nonm marye k'ap kouri dèyè madanm lòt moun, tankou poulen k'ap ranni dèyè jiman, nou kouri dèyè lòt bondye, n'ap rele nan pye yo. San ankenn wont, n'ap fè sèvis pou yo sou tèt ti mòn yo ak nan laplenn. Aa! moun lavil Jerizalèm, nou fini vre! Kilè n'a sispann? Kilè n'a manyè netwaye kè nou?
