Jeremiah 2
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 and seide, Go thou, and crye in the eeris of Jerusalem, and seie, The Lord seith these thingis, Y hadde mynde on thee, and Y hadde merci on thee in thi yong wexynge age, and on the charite of thi spousyng, whanne thou suedist me in desert, in the lond which is not sowun.
-Ale non. Men mesaj ou pral bay nan zòrèy tout moun lavil Jerizalèm. Men sa Seyè a di: Mwen chonje jan ou te ye nan tan lontan, jan ou t'ap mouri pou mwen lè ou te jenn, jan ou te renmen m' lè nou te fèk marye. Ou te swiv mwen nan dezè a, kote anyen pa pouse.
3 Israel was hooli to the Lord, the firste of fruytis of hym; alle men that deuouren that Israel, trespassen; yuelis schulen come on hem, seith the Lord.
Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo te yon pèp ki t'ap viv apa pou mwen ase, tankou premye rekòt jaden yo mete apa pou mwen. Malè te tonbe sou tout moun ki te manyen yo paske se avè m' yo te annafè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
4 The hous of Jacob, and alle the lynagis of the hous of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord.
Nou menm, moun fanmi Jakòb yo, nou menm tout moun branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, koute mesaj Seyè a!
5 The Lord seith these thingis, What of wickidnesse foundun youre fadris in me, for thei yeden fer awey fro me, and yeden after vanyte, and weren maad veyn?
Men sa Seyè a voye di nou: -Kisa mwen te fè zansèt nou yo ki mal kifè yo te vire do ban mwen? Yo pran mache dèyè yon bann zidòl ki pa vo anyen. Yo menm tou, yo vin pa vo anyen.
6 And thei seiden not, Where is the Lord, that made vs to stie fro the lond of Egipt, that ledde vs ouer thorou desert, bi the lond vnabitable and with out weie, bi the lond of thirst, and bi the ymage of deeth, bi the lond in whiche a man yede not, nether a man dwellide.
Yo pa chonje reve mande kote Seyè a, li menm ki te fè nou moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, li menm ki te louvri chemen pou nou nan dezè a, nan yon peyi tè sèk, plen twou, yon peyi san dlo, plen danje, kote moun pa rete, kote moun pa menm pase.
7 And Y brouyte you in to the lond of Carmele, that ye schulden ete the fruyt therof, and the goodis therof; and ye entriden, and defouliden my lond, and settiden myn eritage in to abhomynacioun.
Mwen fè nou antre nan yon peyi kote ki gen bèl jaden pou nou te ka manje tout bon rekòt ak tout lòt bon bagay li yo. Men, lè nou rive ladan l', nou pa respekte peyi a. Nou fè peyi mwen te ban nou an tounen yon peyi ki ban m' degoutans.
8 Preestis seiden not, Where is the Lord? and thei that helden the lawe, knewen not me; and scheepherdis trespassiden ayens me, and profetis profesieden in Baal, and sueden idols.
Prèt yo pa janm mande kote Seyè a? Yo menm mwen te fè konnen lòd mwen yo, yo pa konnen m' ankò. Chèf yo trayi m'. Pwofèt yo pale nan non Baal. Y'ap kouri dèyè zidòl ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo.
9 Therfor yit Y schal stryue with you in doom, seith the Lord, and Y schal dispute with youre sones.
Se konsa, mwen menm Seyè a, mwen pral plede ak nou ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Mwen pral plede ak pitit pitit nou yo.
10 Go ye to the ilis of Cethym, and se ye; and sende ye in to Cedar, and biholde ye greetli; and se ye,
Ale bò solèy kouche, rive jouk sou zile Chip. Voye moun nan peyi Keda, bò solèy leve. N'a wè sa k'ap pase isit la pa janm rive lòt kote anvan sa.
11 if siche a thing is doon, if a folk chaungide hise goddis; and certeynli thei ben no goddis; but my puple chaungide hise glorie in to an ydol.
Lòt nasyon yo pa janm chanje bondye yo, malgre se pa t' bondye tout bon yo te ye. Men, pèp mwen an te pito zidòl ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo pase mwen menm, Bondye ki te fè bèl bagay pou yo a.
12 Heuenes, be ye astonyed on this thing, and, ye yatis of heuene, be ye desolat greetli, seith the Lord.
Se pou syèl la pantan lè li tande sa! Se pou l' tranble. Se pou l' rete sezi! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
13 For whi my puple hath don tweyne yuels; thei han forsake me, the welle of quyke watir, and han diggid to hem cisternes, `that weren distried, that moun not holde watris.
Paske pèp mwen an fè de kalite peche: Yo vire do ban mwen, mwen menm sous dlo fre a. Y' ale fè rezèvwa pou dlo. Rezèvwa yo tou fann, yo pa ka kenbe dlo.
14 Whether Israel is a boond man, ether is borun boonde?
Se pa esklav moun pèp Izrayèl yo ye. Ni yo pa fèt nan esklavaj. Poukisa atò lènmi ap bwote yo ale konsa?
15 Whi therfor is he maad in to prey? Liouns roriden on hym, and yauen her vois; thei han set the londe of hym in to wildernesse, the citees of him ben brent, and noon is that dwellith in tho.
Y'ap gwonde sou li tankou lyon, y'ap rele byen fò. Yo fè peyi a tounen yon savann. Yo mete dife nan tout lavil li yo. Pa rete yon moun ladan yo.
16 Also the sones of Menfis and of Tafnys han defoulid thee, `til to the cop of the heed.
Ata moun Menmfis yo ak moun Tapanès yo ap kale tèt yo.
17 Whether this is not don to thee, for thou forsokist thi Lord God, in that tyme in which he ledde thee bi the weie?
Se nou menm ki chache sa, paske nou vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, antan li t'ap moutre nou chemen pou nou pran an.
18 And now what wolt thou to thee in the weie of Egipt, that thou drynke troblid watir? And what is to thee with the weie of Assiriens, that thou drynke water of the flood?
Koulye a, kisa nou kwè n'a jwenn lè nou pran chemen Lejip pou n al bwè dlo nan larivyè Nil? Kisa ou kwè n'a jwenn lè nou pran chemen Lasiri pou n al bwè dlo nan larivyè Lefrat?
19 Thi malice schal repreue thee, and thi turnyng awei schal blame thee; wite thou and se, that it is yuel and bittir that thou hast forsake thi Lord God, and that his drede is not at thee, seith the Lord God of oostis.
Se mal nou fè a k'ap tounen yon fwèt pou nou! Se vire nou vire do ban mwen an k'ap kondannen nou! Se pou nou konnen jan sa pa dous, jan sa pa bon pou nou vire do ban mwen, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou sispann gen krentif pou mwen. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
20 Fro the world thou hast broke my yok, thou hast broke my bondis, and seidist, Y schal not serue. For thou hoore didist hordom in ech hiy litil hil, and vndur ech tree ful of bowis.
Izrayèl, gen lontan depi ou pa rekonèt otorite m' ankò! W'ap manje kòd, w'ap di: Mwen p'ap sèvi Seyè a. Lèfini, sou tout ti mòn anba tout gwo pyebwa ou nan dezòd, w'ap fè sèvis pou lòt bondye.
21 Forsothe Y plauntide thee a chosun vyner, al trewe seed; hou therfor art thou, alien vyner, turned to me in to a schrewid thing?
Mwen te plante ou tankou yon pye rezen kalite, ki soti nan bon semans. Men koulye a, gade jan ou chanje: Ou tounen yon vye pye rezen mawon. M' pa konnen kote ou soti.
22 Thouy thou waischist thee with fulleris clei, and multypliest to thee the erbe borith, thou art defoulid in thi wickidnesse bifore me, seith the Lord God.
Ou te mèt lave kò ou ak gwo savon, ou te mèt fwote kò ou ak potas, m'ap toujou wè kras malpwòpte ou yo sou ou. Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye a, ki di sa.
23 Hou seist thou, Y am not defoulid, Y yede not aftir Baalym? Se thi weies in the greet valei, wite thou what thou hast do; a swifte rennere ordeynynge hise weies.
Ki jan ou fè ka di ou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen, ou pa janm kouri dèyè Baal yo? Gade tout vye makakri w'ap fè nan fon an! Rekonèt sa ou fè a non! Ou tankou yon jenn fenmèl chamo ki lage nan bwa, w'ap kouri adwat agoch.
24 A wielde asse customable in wildirnesse drow the wynd of his loue in the desire of his soule; no man schal turne awei it. Alle that seken it, schulen not faile; thei schulen fynde it in the flux of vncleene blood therof.
Ou tankou yon fenmèl bourik mawon nan savann. Lè li an chalè, l'ap pran sant van an. Lè li bezwen kwaze, ki moun ki ka kenbe l'? Mal yo pa bezwen bat kò yo pou yo jwenn li. Depi se mwa li, y'ap jwenn li.
25 Forbede thi foot fro nakidnesse, and thi throte fro thirst; and thou seidist, Y dispeiride, Y schal not do; for Y louede brennyngli alien goddis, and Y schal go aftir hem.
Izrayèl, manyè sispann! W'ap plede fatige janm ou yo! Gòj ou ap fin chèch! Men w'ap di: Non! M' pa kab fè anyen pou sa! Mwen renmen bondye lòt nasyon yo. Fòk m' al dèyè yo.
26 As a theef is schent, whanne he is takun, so the hous of Israel ben schent; thei, and kyngis of hem, the princes, and prestis, and the prophetis of hem,
Menm jan yon vòlè wont lè yo bare l', se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo pral wont, ni wa yo, ni chèf yo, ni prèt yo, ni pwofèt yo!
27 that seien to a tree, Thou art my fadir; and to a stoon, Thou hast gendrid me. Thei turneden to me the bak, and not the face; and in the tyme of her turment thei schulen seie, Ryse thou, and delyuere vs.
Yo rele pyebwa yo papa! Yo rele wòch yo manman m' ki fè m'! Wi, yo pito vire ban m' do, pase pou yo tounen vin jwenn mwen. Men, depi yo nan traka, y'ap rele: -Seyè, leve non! Vin delivre nou!
28 Where ben thi goddis, whiche thou madist to thee? Rise thei, and delyuere thee in the tyme of thi turment; for aftir the noumbre of thi citees weren thi goddis, thou Juda.
Men, nou menm moun Jida yo, kote bondye nou te fè pou nou yo? Lè nou nan traka, se yo ki pou leve vin delivre nou, si yo kapab! Moun Jida, nou gen yon bondye nan chak lavil nou yo!
29 What wolen ye stryue with me in doom? Alle ye han forsake me, seith the Lord.
Poukisa n'ap plede avè m' konsa? Nou tout nou kenbe tèt avè m'. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!
30 In veyn Y smoot youre sones, thei resseyueden not chastisyng; youre swerd deuouride youre prophetis, youre generacioun is distried as a lioun.
Mwen te pini pitit nou yo, men sa pa t' sèvi anyen. Nou pa t' dakò pou m' te korije nou! Tankou lyon ki fin wè mò, nou rale nepe nou yo, nou touye pwofèt nou yo.
31 Se ye the word of the Lord, whether Y am maad a wildirnesse to Israel, ether a lond late bryngynge forth fruyt? Whi therfor seide my puple, We han go awei, we schulen no more come to thee?
(Nou menm k'ap viv koulye a, koute byen sa Seyè a ap di a.) Pèp Izrayèl, èske mwen te tankou yon dezè pou nou, tankou yon kote ki fènwa anpil? Poukisa atò pou nou di: -Nou granmoun tèt nou, nou p'ap janm tounen vin jwenn ou ankò!
32 Whethir a virgyn schal foryete hir ournement? and a spousesse `schal foryete hir brest girdil? But mi puple hath foryete me bi daies with out noumbre.
Eske yon jenn fi ka bliye bijou li yo? Eske yon lamarye ka bliye rad nòs li? Men, pèp mwen an bliye m', m' pa ka konte depi kilè.
33 What enforsist thou to schewe thi weie good to seke loue, which ferthermore bothe hast tauyt thi malices thi weies,
Ou konnen byen sa pou ou fè lè w'ap kouri dèyè gason. Lè konsa, nanpwen krim ou p'ap fè.
34 and the blood of pore men and innocentis is foundun in thi wyngis? Y fond not hem in dichis, but in alle thingis whiche Y remembride bifore.
Rad ou yo tache ak san pòv ansanm ak san inonsan, moun ou pa t' bare ap fè anyen ki mal. Malgre tou sa,
35 And thou seidist, Y am with out synne and innocent; and therfor thi stronge veniaunce be turned awei fro me. Lo! Y schal stryue with thee in doom; for thou seidist, Y synnede not.
w'ap plede di ou pa antò. Seyè a pa fache avè ou ankò. Men, mwen menm Seyè a, mwen pral pini ou paske ou refize rekonèt ou te fè sa ou pa t' dwe fè.
36 Hou vijl art thou maad, rehersynge thi weies? and thou schalt be schent of Egipt, as thou were schent of Assur.
Gade jan w'ap avili tèt ou, lè w'ap kouri dèyè bondye lòt nasyon yo! W'ap pran wont nan men peyi Lejip menm jan sa te rive ou avèk peyi Lasiri.
37 For whi and thou schalt go out of this lond, and thin hondis schulen be on thin heed; for whi the Lord hath al to-broke thi trist, and thou schalt haue no thing to prosperite.
W'a vire do ou kite peyi Lejip. Avèk men ou, w'a bouche figi ou tèlman w'a wont. Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen voye moun ou fè konfyans yo jete. Yo p'ap ka fè anyen pou ou.
