Jeremiah 20
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the LORD’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
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 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the LORD’s house.
Li fè yo bat Jeremi, lèfini li mete l' nan sèp ki te bò gwo Pòtay Benjamen an nan Tanp Seyè a.
3 On the next day, Pashhur released Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.
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 the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them captive to Babylon, and will kill 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 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, yes, I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hand of their enemies. They will make them captives, take them, and carry them to Babylon.
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 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house will go into captivity. You will come to Babylon, and there you will die, and there you will be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.’”
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 LORD, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks 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; I cry, “Violence and destruction!” because the LORD’s word has been made a reproach to me, and a derision, all 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 If I say that I will not make mention of him, or speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary with holding it in. I can’t.
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 defaming of many: “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on 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 But the LORD is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonour which will never 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 But the LORD of Hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for I have revealed my cause to you.
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 the LORD! Praise the LORD, for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Chante pou Seyè a. Fè lwanj li! Li rache pòv malere yo anba men mechan yo.
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born. Don’t let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
Madichon pou jou mwen te fèt la! Ankenn benediksyon pou jou manman m' te fè m' lan!
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, “A boy is born to you,” making him very glad.
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 Let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and didn’t repent. Let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime,
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 because he didn’t kill me from the womb. So my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
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 did I come out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Poukisa m' te fèt atò? Pou m' te ka nan lapenn, nan lafliksyon, pou m' te ka mouri nan lawont?
