Jeremiah 3
1 It is seid comunli, If a man forsakith his wijf, and sche go awei fro hym, and be weddid to an othere hosebonde, whether he schal turne ayen more to hir? whether thilke womman schal not be defoulid, and maad vncleene? Forsothe thou hast do fornycacioun with many loueris; netheles turne thou ayen to me, `seith the Lord, and Y schal resseyue thee.
Bondye di: “Si yon mari divòse ak madanm li, e li kite li pou jwenn yon lòt gason, èske li va retounen kote li? Èske tè sa a p ap souye nèt? Men ou se yon pwostitiye ak anpil renmen; sepandan, se bò kote M, ou vin vire,” deklare SENYÈ a.
2 Reise thin iyen in to streiyt, and se, where thou art not cast doun. Thou hast setun in weies, abidynge hem as a theef in wildirnesse, and thou hast defoulid the erthe in thi fornicaciouns and in thi malices.
“Leve zye ou pou wè mòn toutouni yo epi gade: “Se ki kote yo pa t kouche ak nou? Akote chemen yo, ou te chita tann yo. Tankou yon Arab nan dezè, ou te pouri peyi a ak pwostitisyon ou ak mechanste ou.
3 Wherfor the dropis of reynes weren forbodun, and no late reyn was. The forhed of a womman hoore is maad to thee; thou noldist be aschamed.
Akoz sa, farinaj lapli te vin sispann e lapli sezon prentan pa t rive. Men fon ou te gen yon fontèn pwostitiye; ou te refize vin wont.
4 Nameli fro this tyme forth clepe thou me, Thou art my fadir, the ledere of my virginyte.
Se pa depi koulye a, ou va rele a Mwen: ‘Papa mwen, ou se zanmi jenès mwen’?
5 Whether thou schalt be wrooth with outen ende, ether schalt contynue in to the ende? Lo! thou hast spoke, and hast do yuels, and thou were myyti. And for wordis of penaunce thou blasfemydist bi wordis of pride; and thou fillidist thin yuel thouyt, and schewidist thi strengthe ayens thi hosebonde, that thou maist do that thing that thou tretidist bi word.
“‘Èske Li va fache jis pou tout tan? Èske Li va ensanse ak kòlè jiska lafen?’ Gade byen, ou te pale, ou te fè bagay ki mal e ou te fè pwòp volonte ou.”
6 And the Lord seide to me, in the daies of Josie, the kyng, Whether thou hast seyn what thing the aduersarie, Israel, hath do? Sche yede to hir silf on ech hiy hil, and vndur ech tre ful of boowis, and dide fornycacioun there.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di m nan jou a wa Josias yo: “Èske ou te wè sa ke Israël enfidèl te fè a? Li te monte sou tout kolin ki wo yo e anba tout bwa vèt. La, li te yon pwostitiye.
7 And Y seide, whanne sche hadde do alle these thingis, Turne thou ayen to me; and sche turnede not ayen. And hir sistir, Juda, brekere of the lawe,
Mwen te reflechi: ‘Apre li fin fè tout bagay sa yo, li va retounen kote Mwen.’ Men li pa t retounen e sè trèt li a, Juda, te wè l.
8 siy, that for the aduersarie, Israel, dide auowtrie, Y hadde left hir, and Y hadde youe to hir a libel of forsakyng; and Juda, hir sistir, brekere of the lawe, dredde not, but also sche yede, and dide fornycacioun.
Konsa, lè Mwen te wè tout enfidelite ak pwostitiye li yo, Mwen te voye li ale, e Mwen te fè yon dekrè pou divòse ak li. Men sè trèt li a, Juda, pa t gen lakrent, men li te ale fè pwostitiye tou.
9 And bi liytnesse of hir fornicacioun sche defoulide the erthe, and dide auowtrie with a stoon, and with a tree.
Akoz li te pran pwostitiye li a kon yon bagay lejè, li te pouri peyi a e te fè adiltè ak wòch ak pyebwa.
10 And in alle these thingis hir sistir, Juda, brekere of the lawe, turnede not ayen to me, in al hir herte, but in a leesyng, seith the Lord God.
Men malgre tout sa, sè trèt li a, Juda, pa t retounen kote Mwen ak tout kè l, men pito ak desepsyon”, deklare SENYÈ a.
11 And the Lord seide to me, The aduersarie, Israel, hath iustified hir soule, in comparisoun of Juda, brekere of the lawe.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te di m: “Israël enfidèl la te montre li pi dwat pase trèt la, Juda.
12 Go thou, and crye these wordis ayens the north; and thou schalt seie, Thou aduersarie, Israel, turne ayen, seith the Lord, and Y schal not turne awei my face fro you; for Y am hooli, seith the Lord, and Y schal not be wrooth with outen ende.
Ale pwoklame pawòl sa yo vè nò, epi di: ‘Retounen, Israël enfidèl’, deklare SENYÈ a; ‘Mwen p ap gade ou ak kòlè. Paske Mwen gen mizerikòd, deklare SENYÈ a; Mwen p ap rete fache jis pou tout tan.
13 Netheles knowe thou thi wickidnesse; for thou hast trespassid ayens thi Lord God, and thou hast spred abrood thi weies to aliens vndur ech tre ful of bowis; and thou herdist not my vois, seith the Lord.
Sèlman rekonèt inikite ou, ke ou te transgrese kont SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a. Ou te gaye favè ou bay etranje yo anba tout bwa vèt e ou pa t obeyi vwa M,’” deklare SENYÈ a.
14 Be ye conuertid, sones, turnynge ayen, seith the Lord, for Y am youre hosebonde; and Y schal take you oon of a citee, and tweyne of a kynrede, and Y schal lede you in to Sion;
“Retounen, O fis enfidèl,” deklare SENYÈ a, “paske Mwen se yon mèt pou nou. Mwen va retire de nou, youn nan yon vil e de nan yon fanmi, e Mwen va mennen nou Sion.”
15 and Y schal yyue to you scheepherdis after myn herte, and thei schulen feede you with kunnyng and teching.
“Konsa, Mwen va bannou bèje selon pwòp kè Mwen, ki va fè nou manje sou konesans ak bon konprann.
16 And whanne ye schulen be multiplied, and encreesse in the lond, in tho daies, seith the Lord, thei schulen no more seie, The arke of testament of the Lord; nether it schal stie on the herte, nether thei schulen thenke on it, nether it schal be visitid, nether it schal be ferthere.
Li va vin rive nan jou sa yo ke lè nou vin ogmante, e vin anpil nan peyi a”, deklare SENYÈ a, “yo p ap di mo ankò: ‘Lach akò SENYÈ a’. Ni sa p ap vini nan tèt yo. Yo p ap sonje li, yo p ap remake pèt li, ni li p ap refèt ankò.
17 In that tyme thei schulen clepe Jerusalem The seete of the Lord, and alle hethene men schulen be gaderid togidere to it, in the name of the Lord, in Jerusalem; and thei schulen not go aftir the schrewidnesse of her worste herte.
Nan lè sa a, yo va rele Jérusalem: ‘Twòn SENYÈ a’ e tout nasyon yo va rasanble vè li; vè Jérusalem, vè non SENYÈ a. Ni yo p ap ankò mache ak tèt di ak kè mechan yo.
18 In tho daies the hous of Juda schal go to the hous of Israel; and thei schulen come togidere fro the lond of the north to the lond which Y yaf to youre fadris.
Nan jou sa yo, lakay Juda va mache ak lakay Israël, e yo va vini ansanm sòti nan peyi nò pou rive nan peyi ke Mwen te bay a papa zansèt nou yo kon eritaj la.”
19 Forsothe Y seide, Hou schal Y sette thee among sones, and schal yyue to thee a desirable lond, a ful cleer eritage of the oostis of hethene men? And Y seide, Thou schalt clepe me fadir, and thou schalt not ceesse to entre aftir me.
“Epi Mwen te di: ‘Kòman Mwen fè lanvi pou plase ou pami fis Mwen yo, e bay ou yon bèl peyi, eritaj ki pi bèl pami nasyon yo!’ Epi Mwen te di: ‘Ou va rele Mwen: “Papa Mwen”, e ou p ap detounen sispann swiv Mwen.’”
20 But as if a womman dispisith hir louyere, so the hous of Israel dispiside me, seith the Lord.
“Anverite, kon yon fanm fè trèt pou kite mari li, se konsa ou te fè trèt kite Mwen, O lakay Israël”, deklare SENYÈ a.
21 A vois is herd in weies, the weping and yellyng of the sones of Israel; for thei maden wickid her weie, thei foryaten her Lord God.
Yon vwa vin tande sou wotè mòn vid yo; vwa k ap kriye ak vwa siplikasyon a fis Israël yo; akoz yo te pèvèti chemen yo, yo te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye yo.
22 Be ye conuertid, sones, turnynge ayen, and Y schal heele youre turnyngis awei. Lo! we comen to thee; for thou art oure Lord God.
“Retounen, O fis enfidèl, Mwen va geri enfidelite ou.” “Gade byen, nou vin kote Ou; paske Ou se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
23 Verili litil hillis weren lieris, the multitude of mounteyns was fals; verili in oure Lord God is the helthe of Israel.
Anverite, soutyèn kolin yo se yon desepsyon, yon zen sou mòn yo. Anverite, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se sali Israël.
24 Schenschipe eete the trauel of oure fadris, fro oure yongthe; schenschipe eet the flockis of hem, and the droues of hem, the sones of hem, and the douytris of hem.
Men afè wont sa a te manje fòs zèv zansèt nou yo depi nan jenès nou. Li te manje bann mouton yo ak twoupo yo, fis ak fi yo.
25 We schulen slepe in oure schenschipe, and oure sclaundir schal hile vs; for we synneden to oure Lord God, bothe we and oure fadris, fro oure yongthe `til to this dai; and we herden not the vois of oure Lord God.
Kite nou kouche nan wont nou, e kite imilyasyon kouvre nou. Paske nou te peche kontre Senyè a, nou menm ak papa nou yo, depi nan jenès nou yo, jis rive menm jodi a. E nou pa t obeyi lavwa Senyè a, papa nou.
