< Jeremiah 13 >

1 The Lord seith these thingis to me, Go, and take in possessioun to thee a lynnun breigirdil; and thou schalt putte it on thi leendis, and thou schalt not bere it in to watir.
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 Y took in possessioun a breigirdil, bi the word of the Lord; and Y puttide aboute my leendis.
Se konsa m' achte yon sentiwon jan Seyè a te di m' lan. Mwen mare l' nan ren mwen.
3 And the word of the Lord was maad to me in the secounde tyme,
Apre sa, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
4 and seide, Take the brigirdil, which thou haddist in possessioun, which is aboute thi leendis; and rise thou, and go to Eufrates, and hide thou it there, in the hoole of a stoon.
-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 Y yede, and hidde it in Eufrates, as the Lord comaundide to 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 don aftir ful many daies, the Lord seide to me, Rise thou, and go to Eufrates, and take fro thennus the brigirdil, whiche Y comaundide to thee, that thou schuldist 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 Y yede to Eufrates, and diggide out, and Y took the breigirdil fro the place, where Y hadde hidde it; and lo! the breigirdil was rotun, so that it was not able to ony vss.
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 the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
9 and seide, The Lord seith these thingis, So Y schal make rotun the pride of Juda, and the myche pride of Jerusalem,
-Men ki jan mwen pral kraze lògèy moun granpanpan peyi Jida yo, ak gwo lògèy moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
10 and this worste puple, that nylen here my wordis, and goen in the schrewidnesse of her herte; and thei yeden aftir alien goddis, to serue hem, and to worschipe hem; and thei schulen be as this breigirdil, which is not able to ony vss.
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 as a breigirdil cleueth to the leendis of a man, so Y ioynede faste to me al the hous of Israel, and al the hous of Juda, seith the Lord, that thei schulden be to me in to a puple, and in to name, and in to heriyng, and in to glorie; and thei herden not.
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 Therfor thou schalt seie to hem this word, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Ech potel schal be fillid of wyn. And thei schulen seie to thee, Whether we witen not, that ech potel schal be fillid of wyn?
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 thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y shal fille with drunkenesse alle the dwelleris of this lond, and the kyngis of the generacioun of Dauith, that sitten on his trone, and the prestis, and profetis, and alle the dwelleris of Jerusalem.
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 Y schal scatere hem, a man fro his brother, and the fadris and sones togidere, seith the Lord; Y schal not spare, and Y schal not graunte, nether Y schal do mercy, that I leese not hem.
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 Here ye, and perseyue with eeris; nyle ye be reisid, for the Lord spak.
Nou menm pèp Izrayèl, Seyè a ap pale, louvri zòrèy nou pou nou tande! Pa fè gwo kòlèt!
16 Yyue ye glorie to youre Lord God, bifore that it wexe derk, and bifor that youre feet hirte at derk hillis; ye schulen abide liyt, and he schal sette it in to the schadewe of deeth, and in to derknesse.
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 That if ye heren not this, my soule schal wepe in hid place for the face of pride; it wepynge schal wepe, and myn iye shal caste out a teer, for the floc of the Lord is takun.
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 Seye thou to the kyng, and to the ladi, Be ye mekid, sitte ye, for the coroun of youre glorie schal go doun fro youre heed.
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 south ben closid, and noon is that openith; al Juda is translatid bi perfit passyng ouere, ether goynge out of her lond.
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 Reise ye youre iyen, and se ye, what men comen fro the north; where is the floc which is youun to thee, thi noble scheep?
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 schalt thou seie, whanne he schal visite thee? for thou hast tauyt hem ayens thee, and thou hast tauyt ayens thin heed. Whether sorewis han not take thee, as a womman trauelynge of child?
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 That if thou seist in thin herte, Whi camen these thingis to me? for the multitude of thi wickidnesse thi schamefulere thingis ben schewid, thi feet ben defoulid.
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 If a man of Ethiopie mai chaunge his skyn, ether a pard mai chaunge hise dyuersitees, and ye moun do wel, whanne ye han lerned yuel.
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 Y schal sowe hem abrood, as stobil which is rauyschid of the wynd in desert.
Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen pral gaye yo tankou pay van ap gaye nan savann.
25 This is thi lot, and the part of thi mesure of me, seith the Lord; for thou foryetidist me, and tristidist in a leesyng.
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 Wherfor and Y made nakid thin hipis ayens thi face, and thi schenschipe apperide,
Se mwen menm menm ki pral leve rad nou jouk sou tèt nou, pou yo wè nou toutouni.
27 thin auowtries, and thin neyyng, and the felonye of thi fornycacioun on litle hillis in the feeld; Y siy thin abhomynaciouns. Jerusalem, wo to thee, thou schalt not be clensid after me til yit.
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?
