Jeremiah 18
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l' konsa:
2 Arise and you will go down [the] house of the potter and there I will cause to hear you words my.
-Leve non! Desann kay bòs k'ap fè krich yo. Rive la, m'a ba ou yon mesaj.
3 And I went down [the] house of the potter (and there! he *Q(K)*) [was] doing work on the stones.
Mwen desann vre kay bòs k'ap fè krich yo. Mwen wè msye t'ap bay yon krich fòm nan tou a.
4 And it was spoiled the vessel which he [was] making with the clay in [the] hand of the potter and he would return and he made it a vessel another just as it was pleasing in [the] eyes of the potter to do.
Depi krich li t'ap fè a pa t' soti byen, li kraze l', li pran tè a, li fè yon lòt krich avè l' jan li te vle fè l' la.
5 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di m' konsa:
6 ¿ Like the potter this not am I able to do to you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh here! like the clay in [the] hand of the potter so you [are] in hand my O house of Israel.
-Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, èske mwen pa gen dwa fè ak nou sa bòs la fè ak tè a? Nou nan men mwen menm jan tè a nan men bòs k'ap fè krich la, tande!
7 A moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.
Yon lè mwen pran desizyon pou m' derasinen yon nasyon osinon yon peyi ki gen wa, pou m' kraze l', pou m' detwi l'.
8 And it will turn away the nation that from evil its which I had spoken on it and I will relent on the calamity which I had planned to do to it.
Men, si nasyon an chanje, si li sispann fè mechanste ki lakòz mwen te move a, m'ap chanje lide, m' p'ap fè l' sa m' te fè lide fè l' la.
9 And a moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to build up and to plant.
Yon lòt lè, mwen pran desizyon pou m' leve yon nasyon osinon pou m' fè gouvènman yon wa kanpe.
10 And it will do (the evil *Q(K)*) in view my to not to listen to voice my and I will relent on the good which I had said to do good to it.
Men, si nasyon an fè sa ki pa fè m' plezi, si li pa koute m', mwen p'ap fè tout byen mwen te fè lide fè pou li a.
11 And therefore say please to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh here! I [am] about to fashion on you calamity and [am] about to plan on you a plan turn back please everyone from way his wicked and make good ways your and deeds your.
Bon! Koulye a, ou pral pale ak moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo. Men sa Seyè a voye di yo: M'ap pare yon malè pou nou. Mwen fè lide pini nou. Se pou nou chanje, se pou nou kite move pant n'ap swiv la. Chache viv pi byen, manyè sispann fè sa ki mal.
12 And they say despairing for after own plans our we will walk and everyone [the] stubbornness of heart his wicked we will act.
Y'ap reponn ou: Se tan ou w'ap pèdi! N'ap toujou kenbe tèt ak Bondye. N'ap toujou fè tout vye lide ki nan tèt nou.
13 Therefore thus he says Yahweh ask please among the nations who? has he heard like these [things] a horrible [thing] she has done exceedingly [the] virgin of Israel.
Lè sa a, Seyè a di ankò: -Al mande moun lòt nasyon yo si yo te janm tande yon bagay konsa rive anvan sa? Moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè yon bann bagay moun pa ka gade!
14 ¿ Does it leave from [the] rock of [the] field [the] snow of Lebanon or? are they plucked up waters strange cool flowing.
Eske ou janm wè pa gen lanèj sou wòch nan tèt mòn peyi Liban yo? Eske ou janm wè ti sous dlo fre k'ap desann soti nan mòn yo cheche?
15 For they have forgotten me people my to falsehood they make smoke and they have caused to stumble them in ways their paths of antiquity to walk paths a way not built up.
Men, pèp mwen an bliye m'. Y'ap boule lansan pou zidòl ki pa vo anyen. Kifè yo kite chemen pou yo te swiv la, chemen yo t'ap swiv depi nan tan lontan an, yo pran mache nan raje, kote ki pa gen chemen trase.
16 To make land their into a waste (whistling of *Q(K)*) perpetuity every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may wag with head his.
Yo fè peyi a tounen yon savann dezole, tout moun se mete men nan tèt! Tout moun k'ap pase bò la pral sezi wè sa. Yo pral souke tèt yo.
17 Like a wind of [the] east I will scatter them before an enemy back and not face I will show them on [the] day of disaster their.
Se konsa mwen pral gaye yo devan lènmi yo, menm jan van lès gaye pousyè. M'ap vire do ba yo lè malè va tonbe sou yo. M' p'ap okipe yo menm.
18 And people said come so let us plan on Jeremiah plans for not it will be lost instruction from [the] priest and counsel from [the] wise and word from [the] prophet come and let us attack him with the tongue and may not we pay attention to all words his.
Lè sa a, pèp la va di: -Annou moute yon konplo sou do Jeremi. N'a toujou jwenn prèt pou di nou sa Bondye vle. Va toujou gen moun ki gen bon konprann pou ban nou konsèy. Va toujou gen pwofèt pou fè nou konnen mesaj Bondye yo. Annou wè! Ann touye l' anba kout lang. Nou pa bezwen tande sa l'ap di nou la a.
19 Be attentive! O Yahweh to me and listen to [the] voice of opponents my.
Lè sa a, mwen lapriyè, mwen di: -O Seyè! Tande sa m'ap di ou. Koute sa moun ki pa vle wè m' yo ap di sou mwen.
20 ¿ Will it be repaid in place of good evil for they have dug a pit for self my remember - standing my before you to speak on them good to turn back rage your from them.
Lè yon moun fè ou byen, èske se mal pou ou fè li? Yo fouye yon twou pou fè m' tonbe ladan l'. Chonje jan m' te kanpe devan ou pou m' te pale pou yo, pou m' te mande ou pa fè kòlè sou yo.
21 Therefore give children their to famine and pour them over [the] hands of [the] sword so they may become wives their childless and widows and men their may they be [the] slain of death young men their [those] struck down of [the] sword in battle.
Koulye a, Seyè, se pou ou fè pitit yo mouri grangou. Se pou ou kite yo mouri anba kout nepe. Se pou madanm yo pèdi pitit yo ansanm ak mari yo. Se pou maladi lapès touye mesye yo. Se pou jenn gason yo mouri nan lagè.
22 May it be heard a cry of distress from houses their if you will bring on them a marauding band suddenly for they have dug (a pit *Q(K)*) to capture me and snares they have hidden for feet my.
Y'ap rete konsa, w'ap voye yon bann piyajè sou yo. Lè sa a se va rèl nan tout kay yo. Tou sa, paske yo te fouye yon twou pou fè m' tonbe ladan l'. Yo te mete pèlen pou mwen sou wout mwen.
23 And you O Yahweh you know all plan their on me for death may not you atone on iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not you wipe out (and let them be *Q(K)*) overthrown before you in [the] time of anger your do with them.
Men ou menm, Seyè, ou konnen tout konplo y'ap fè pou touye m'. Pa padonnen mechanste yo. Pa janm padonnen peche yo. Se pou yo tonbe atè la devan je ou. Lè ou an kòlè, regle yo.
