Jeremiah 16
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
2 and seide, Thou schalt not take a wijf, and sones and douytris schulen not be to thee in this place.
“Ou p ap pran yon madanm pou ou menm, ni fè fis ak fi nan kote sa a.”
3 For the Lord seith these thingis on sones and douytris, that ben gendrid in this place, and on the modris of hem, that gendride hem, and on the fadris of hem, of whos generacioun thei ben borun in this lond.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan fis ak fi ki fèt nan plas sila a, e konsènan manman yo ki te fè yo ak papa yo ki te fè yo nan peyi sa a:
4 Thei schulen die bi dethis of sikenessis, thei schulen not be biweilid, and thei schulen not be biried; thei schulen be in to a dunghil on the face of erthe, and thei schulen be wastid bi swerd and hungur; and the careyn of hem schal be in to mete to the volatilis of heuene, and to beestis of erthe.
“Yo va mouri mo yo ki byen move. Yo p ap fè dèy pou yo, ni antere yo. Yo va rete tankou fimye bèt sou sifas latè. Yo va manje nèt ak nepe ak gwo grangou. Kadav yo va devni manje pou zwazo syèl ak pou bèt sovaj latè yo.”
5 For the Lord seith these thingis, Entre thou not in to an hous of feeste, nethir go thou to biweile, nether comfourte thou hem; for Y haue take awei my pees fro this puple, seith the Lord, `Y haue take awei merci and merciful doyngis.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Pa antre nan kay doulè a, ni pa ale kriye pou yo! Pa regret yo! Paske Mwen te retire lapè M de pèp sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “lanmou Mwen ak konpasyon Mwen.”
6 And greete and smalle schulen die in this lond; thei schulen not be biried, nethir schulen be biweilid; and thei schulen not kitte hem silf, nethir ballidnesse schal be maad for hem.
Ni gran, ni piti va mouri nan peyi sa a. Yo p ap antere, yo p ap fè dèy pou yo, ni p ap gen moun ki blese kò l oswa pase razwa nan tèt li pou yo.
7 And thei schulen not breke breed among hem to hym that mourneth, to coumforte on a deed man, and thei schulen not yyue to hem drynk of a cuppe, to coumforte on her fadir and modir.
Pèsòn p ap kase pen doulè a pou yo, pou konsole okenn moun pou lanmò, ni bay yo yon tas konsolasyon pou bwè pou papa yo, oswa manman yo.
8 And thou schalt not entre in to the hous of feeste, that thou sitte with hem, and ete, and drynke.
“Anplis, ou pa prale nan yon kay ki gen fèt pou chita ak yo pou manje ak bwè.”
9 For whi the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal take awei fro this place, bifore youre iyen and in youre daies, the vois of ioie, and the vois of gladnesse, and the vois of spouse, and the vois of spousesse.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Gade byen, Mwen va elimine nèt nan plas sa, vwa rejwisans ak vwa kè kontan, vwa a jèn gason fenk marye ak vwa a jèn fi marye, devan zye nou e nan pwòp tan pa nou.
10 And whanne thou schalt telle alle these wordis to this puple, and thei schulen seie to thee, Whi spak the Lord al this greet yuel on vs? what is oure wickidnesse, ether what is oure synne which we synneden to oure Lord God?
Alò, lè ou di pèp sa a tout pawòl sa yo, yo va di ou: ‘Pou ki rezon SENYÈ a te deklare tout gwo malè sa a kont nou? Epi ki inikite oswa ki peche ke nou te fè kont SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an?’
11 thou schalt seie to hem, For youre fadris forsoken me, seith the Lord, and yeden aftir alien goddis, and seruyden hem, and worschipiden hem, and thei forsoken me, and kepten not my lawe.
Nan lè sa a, ou gen pou di yo: ‘Akoz papa zansèt nou yo te abandone Mwen,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘pou te swiv lòt dye yo, pou te sèvi yo e te pwostène devan yo. Konsa yo te abandone Mwen e yo pa t kenbe lalwa Mwen an.
12 But also ye wrouyten worse than youre fadris; for lo! ech man goith aftir the schrewidnesse of his yuel herte, that he here not me.
Nou tou, te fè mal plis menm ke papa zansèt nou yo. Paske gade byen, nou chak ap mache selon tèt di a pwòp kè mechan pa nou, san koute Mwen.
13 And Y schal caste you out of this lond, in to the lond which ye and youre fadris knowen not; and ye schulen serue there to alien goddis dai and niyt, whiche schulen not yiue reste to you.
Akoz sa, Mwen va jete nou deyò peyi sa a, antre nan yon peyi ke nou pa t janm konnen, ni nou menm, ni papa zansèt nou yo. La menm, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo lajounen kon lannwit, paske Mwen p ap bannou okenn favè.’
14 Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and it schal no more be seid, The Lord lyueth, that ledde the sones of Israel out of the lond of Egipt;
“Akoz sa, gade byen, gen jou k ap vini,” deklare SENYÈ a: “lè fraz sila a p ap menm repete ankò: ‘Jan SENYÈ vivan an, ki te mennen, fè fis Israël yo soti nan peyi Égypte la’,
15 but the Lord lyueth, that ledde the sones of Israel fro the lond of the north, and fro alle londis to whiche Y castide hem out; and Y schal lede hem ayen in to her lond which Y yaf to the fadris of hem.
Men: ‘Jan SENYÈ vivan an, ki te mennen fè monte fis Israël yo soti nan peyi nò a e soti nan tout peyi kote Li te ekzile yo.’ Paske Mwen va restore yo a pwòp peyi yo, ke Mwen te bay a papa zansèt yo.
16 Lo! Y schal sende many fischeris to hem, seith the Lord, and thei schulen fische hem; and aftir these thingis Y schal sende many hunteris to hem, and thei schulen hunte hem fro ech mounteyn, and fro ech litil hil, and fro the caues of stoonys.
“Gade byen, Mwen ap voye anpil moun lapèch,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi yo va fè lapèch pou yo. Apre sa a, Mwen va voye anpil moun lachas e yo va fè lachas pou yo nan tout kolin ak nan tout kwen nan gwo wòch yo.
17 For myn iyen ben on alle the weies of hem; tho weies ben not hid fro my face, and the wickidnesse of hem was not priuy fro myn iyen.
Paske zye M sou tout chemen pa yo. Yo pa kache devan figi Mwen, ni inikite yo pa kache devan zye M.
18 And Y schal yelde first the double wickidnessis and synnes of hem, for thei defouliden my lond in the slayn beestis of her idols, and filliden myn eritage with her abhomynaciouns.
Premyèman, Mwen va rekonpanse doub tout inikite ak peche yo, akoz yo te fè peyi a pouri nèt. Akoz yo te ranpli eritaj Mwen an ak kadav a zidòl abominab yo, e eritaj Mwen an ak abominasyon pa yo.”
19 Lord, my strengthe, and my stalworthnesse, and my refuyt in the dai of tribulacioun, hethene men schulen come to thee fro the fertheste places of erthe, and schulen seie, Verili oure fadris helden a leesyng in possessioun, vanyte that profitide not to hem.
O SENYÈ, fòs mwen an, sitadèl mwen an e sekou mwen an nan jou gwo malè a, vè Ou menm, nasyon yo va vini soti nan dènye pwent latè. Yo va di: “Papa zansèt nou yo pa t gen okenn eritaj sof ke manti sa ki pouriyen, san enpòtans e san benefis.”
20 Whether a man schal make goddis to hym silf? and tho ben no goddis.
Èske lòm dwe fè dye pou kont li, malgre se pa dye yo ye?
21 Therfor lo! Y schal schewe to hem bi this while, Y schal schewe to hem myn hond, and my vertu; and thei schulen wite, that the name to me is Lord.
“Akoz sa, gade byen, Mwen va fè yo konnen, fwa sa a, Mwen va fè yo konnen pouvwa M, ak pwisans Mwen. Konsa, yo va konnen ke non Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
