< Jeremiah 20 >

1 And he heard Pashhur [the] son of Immer the priest and he [was] an officer a chief in [the] house of Yahweh Jeremiah prophesying the words these.
Pachou, pitit gason Imè a, te tande Jeremi t'ap di tout bagay sa yo. Pachou te yon prèt ki te chèf reskonsab Tanp Seyè a.
2 And he struck Pashhur Jeremiah the prophet and he put him on the stock[s] which [was] at [the] gate of Benjamin upper which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh.
Li fè yo bat Jeremi, lèfini li mete l' nan sèp ki te bò gwo Pòtay Benjamen an nan Tanp Seyè a.
3 And it was from [the] next day and he brought out Pashhur Jeremiah from the stock[s] and he said to him Jeremiah not Pashhur he has called Yahweh name your that except Terror from around.
Nan denmen maten, Pachou fè yo wete Jeremi nan sèp la. Lè sa a, Jeremi di l' konsa: -Seyè a chanje non ou. Li pa rele ou Pachou ankò. Li menm li rele ou: Malè toupatou.
4 For thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to make you into a terror to yourself and to all friends your and they will fall by [the] sword of enemies their and eyes your [will be] looking and all Judah I will give in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will take into exile them Babylon towards and he will strike down them with the sword.
Se Seyè a menm ki di sa: Mwen pral fè ou tounen yon malè pou ou menm ak pou tout zanmi ou yo. Ou pral wè yo mouri anba nepe lènmi yo. Mwen pral lage tout moun peyi Jida yo nan men wa lavil Babilòn lan. L'ap pran yon pati ladan yo, l'ap fè yo prizonye, l'ap depòte yo lavil Babilòn, l'ap touye lòt yo.
5 And I will give all [the] wealth of the city this and all property its and every precious thing its and all [the] treasures of [the] kings of Judah I will give in [the] hand of enemies their and they will plunder them and they will take them and they will bring them Babylon towards.
M'ap fè lènmi yo piye tout richès ki nan lavil la, tou sa moun yo travay fè, tout bèl bagay koute chè yo sere, ata trezò wa Jida yo. M'ap lage tou sa nan men lènmi yo. Yo pral piye yo, y'ap pran tou sa yo genyen pote ale lavil Babilòn.
6 And you O Pashhur and all [those who] dwell of house your you will go in captivity and Babylon you will go and there you will die and there you will be buried you and all friends your whom you prophesied to them with falsehood.
Ou menm menm, Pachou, y'ap fè ou prizonye ansanm ak tout moun lakay ou yo, y'ap depòte nou lavil Babilòn. Se la w'a mouri, se la y'a antere ou ansanm ak tout zanmi ou yo ki t'ap koute mesaj manti ou t'ap bay yo.
7 You deceived me O Yahweh and I was deceived you prevailed over me and you prevailed I have become a laughing stock all the day all of it [is] mocking me.
Seyè, ou pran tèt mwen, wi, mwen kite ou pran tèt mwen. Ou pi fò pase m'. Se ou ki genyen. Tout lajounen moun ap ri m'. Yo tout ap pase m' nan rizib.
8 For as often as I speak I cry out violence and havoc I proclaim for it has become [the] word of Yahweh for me a reproach and derision all the day.
Chak fwa pou m' pale se rele pou m' rele. M'ap di byen fò: Men y'ap kraze brize! Men y'ap piye! Paske lè m'ap fè konnen mesaj ou, y'ap fè m' wont, y'ap pase m' nan betiz.
9 And I will say not I will remember him and not I will speak again in name his and it will become in heart my like a fire burning shut up in bones my and I will be weary to hold [it] in and not I will be able.
Men, lè m' di: Mwen p'ap nonmen non Seyè a, mwen p'ap pale nan non l' ankò, mesaj ou yo te tankou yon dife nan zo m' k'ap boule tout anndan m'. Mwen fè sa m' kapab pou enpoze l' soti. Malgre sa, li soti soti l'.
10 For I have heard [the] whispering of many [people] terror [is] from round about tell and let us tell about him every person of peace my [are] [the] watchers of stumbling my perhaps he will be deceived and we will prevail to him and we will take vengeance our from him.
Mwen tande tout moun ap di: -Any! Kote moun pase yo pè! Annou denonse l' bay otorite yo. Ata pi bon zanmi m' yo ap tann konsa mwen fè yon fo pa. Y'ap di: Nou ka pran pawòl nan bouch li pou antrave l'. Lè sa a, n'a met men sou li, n'a tire revanj nou.
11 And Yahweh [is] with me like a warrior ruthless there-fore persecutors my they will stumble and not they will prevail they will be ashamed exceedingly for not they will succeed ignominy of perpetuity not it will be forgotten.
Men, Seyè a kanpe la avè mwen. Se yon vanyan gason li ye, li gen pouvwa. Se poutèt sa se moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo ki pral bite. Se yo ki pral anba. Yo pral wont anpil paske sa p'ap mache pou yo. Se va yon wont pesonn p'ap janm bliye.
12 And O Yahweh of hosts [who] tests [the] righteous [who] sees kidneys and heart let me see vengeance your from them for to you I have made known case my.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a sonde tout moun san patipri. Li konnen sa ki nan kè yo ak sa ki nan tèt yo. Se pou m' wè ou tire revanj ou sou yo, paske se nan men ou menm mwen renmèt kòz mwen.
13 Sing to Yahweh praise Yahweh for he has delivered [the] life of [the] needy from [the] hand of evil-doers.
Chante pou Seyè a. Fè lwanj li! Li rache pòv malere yo anba men mechan yo.
14 [is] cursed The day when I was born on it [the] day when she bore me mother my may not it be blessed.
Madichon pou jou mwen te fèt la! Ankenn benediksyon pou jou manman m' te fè m' lan!
15 [be] cursed The person who he bore [the] news father my saying he has been born to you a son a male surely he made rejoice him.
Madichon pou moun ki t' al fè papa m' konnen li gen yon pitit gason epi ki te fè kè l' kontan lè sa a!
16 And he will be the person that like the cities which he overthrew Yahweh and not he had compassion and he will hear a cry of distress in the morning and a shout of alarm at [the] time of noon.
Se pou nonm sa a tankou moun lavil Seyè a detwi pou tout tan an yo. Nan maten, se pou l' tande rèl moun ki nan lapenn. Vè midi, l'a tande siyal lagè,
17 That not he killed me from [the] womb and she became for me mother my grave my and womb her [was] pregnant of perpetuity.
Paske li pa t' touye m' anvan m' te fèt la, pou vant manman m' te tou sèvi m' kavo: li ta rete ansent mwen pou tout tan.
18 Why? this from [the] womb did I come forth to see trouble and sorrow and they have come to an end in shame days my.
Poukisa m' te fèt atò? Pou m' te ka nan lapenn, nan lafliksyon, pou m' te ka mouri nan lawont?
