Jeremiah 11
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa:
2 'Hear ye the words of this covenant, and ye have spoken unto the men of Judah, and unto the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
-Koute kondisyon nou te pase nan kontra a. W'a pale ak moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.
3 and thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who doth not obey the words of this covenant,
W'a di yo men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Madichon pou tout moun ki pa kenbe kondisyon ki nan kontra a.
4 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to My voice, and ye have done them, According to all that I command you, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
Se kontra sa a mwen te pase ak zansèt nou yo lè mwen t'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip, peyi ki te tankou yon gwo dife nan dèyè yo. Mwen te di yo: Se pou nou koute m', se pou nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè. Se konsa, n'a yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm, m'a sèl Bondye nou.
5 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day. And I answer and say, 'Amen, O Jehovah.'
Lè sa a m'a kenbe pwomès ak gwo sèman mwen te fè bay zansèt nou yo, pou m' te ba yo yon bon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo. Se peyi sa a ki pa nou jòdi a! Mwen reponn: -Se vre, Seyè!
6 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear ye the words of this covenant, And ye have done them.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' ankò: -Al repete tout pawòl sa yo byen fò nan zòrèy moun lavil peyi Jida yo, ak nan zòrèy moun nan tout lari lavil Jerizalèm. Di yo: Koute kondisyon ki nan kontra a. Fè tou sa ki ladan l'.
7 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt — till this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Hearken to My voice,
Paske, depi lè mwen t'ap fè zansèt nou yo soti kite peyi Lejip jouk rive jòdi a, mwen pa manke avèti yo. Depi lè sa a m' dèyè yo, m'ap mande yo pou yo koute sa m' te di yo!
8 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they walk each in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.'
Men yo pa tande, zòrèy yo bouche. Mwen te mande yo pou yo te fè tou sa mwen te ba yo lòd fè nan kontra a, men yo derefize. Se konsa mwen pini yo jan m' te di yo sa nan kontra a.
9 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Moun Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm moute konplo sou do mwen.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel, and the house of Judah, Have made void My covenant, that I made with their fathers.
Yo tonbe ankò nan menm peche ak zansèt yo ki te refize koute sa m' t'ap di yo. Yo menm tou, yo kouri dèyè lòt bondye pou fè sèvis pou yo. Ni moun peyi Izrayèl yo, ni moun peyi Jida yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak zansèt yo a.
11 Therefore thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto them evil, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried unto Me, And I do not hearken unto them.
Enben! Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale: Mwen pral voye yon malè sou yo. Yo p'ap ka chape anba l'. Y'a kriye nan pye m', mwen p'ap koute yo.
12 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried unto the gods, To whom they are making perfume, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their vexation.
Lè sa a, se pou moun peyi Jida yo ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo al kriye nan pye bondye y'ap sèvi yo. Se pa pou yo yo te konn boule ofrann yo! Tansèlman, bondye sa yo p'ap ka sove yo lè malè a va rive sou yo.
13 For — the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O Judah, And — the number of the streets of Jerusalem Ye have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make perfume to Baal.
Nou menm moun peyi Jida, nou gen yon bondye pou chak lavil nan peyi a! Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, mezi lari nou genyen se mezi lotèl nou bati pou boule ofrann pou Baal, zidòl k'ap fè nou wont la!
14 And thou, thou dost not pray for this people, Nor dost thou lift up for them cry and prayer, For I do not hearken in the time of their calling unto Me for their vexation.
Ou menm, Jeremi, ou pa bezwen vin plede pou moun sa yo. Ou pa bezwen plenyen pou yo, ni ou pa bezwen lapriyè pou yo. Paske y'a rele nan pye m' lè malè a va rive sou yo, mwen p'ap tande yo.
15 What — to My beloved in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And the holy flesh do pass over from thee? When thou dost evil, then thou exultest.
Seyè a di ankò: -Pèp mwen renmen anpil la gen move lide dèyè tèt yo. Ki dwa yo genyen pou yo vin nan Tanp mwen an? Yo gen lè konprann yo ka egzante malè k'ap vin sou yo a avèk bèl pwomès y'ap fè m' yo, yo ka chape anba l' avèk vyann anpil bèt y'ap ofri pou mwen yo, apre sa pou y' al pran plezi yo?
16 'An olive, green, fair, of goodly fruit,' Hath Jehovah called thy name, At the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire against it, And broken have been its thin branches.
Yon lè, mwen te rele yo: Bèl pye oliv mwen an, plen fèy, chaje donn. Men, koulye a, m'ap vini ak yon bri loraj, m'ap mete dife nan fèy li yo, m'ap kase tout branch li yo.
17 And Jehovah of Hosts, who is planting thee, Hath spoken evil concerning thee, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make perfume to Baal.
Se mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te plante pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak pèp Jida a. Men koulye a, mwen pran desizyon pou m' voye malè sou yo. Se yo menm ki chache l' avèk tou sa yo fè ki mal: Se yo ki fè m' fache paske y' al boule ofrann pou Baal!
18 And, O Jehovah, cause me to know, and I know, Then Thou hast showed me their doings.
Seyè a fè m' konnen yo t'ap moute yon konplo sou do mwen. Li fè m' wè jan yo t'ap manniganse sou do m' pou yo pran m'.
19 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That against me they have devised devices: We destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.
Mwen menm, mwen te tankou yon ti mouton tou dou yo t'ap mennen labatwa, mwen pa t' konnen se sou do m' yo t'ap konplote konsa lè yo t'ap di: Annou koupe pyebwa ki byen kanpe a. Ann disparèt li sou latè pou pesonn pa chonje l' ankò.
20 And O Jehovah of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance against them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.'
Lè sa a, mwen lapriyè, mwen di: -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ou se yon jij ki pa nan patipri. Ou sonde tou sa ki nan kè ak nan lide moun. Mwen lage kòz mwen nan men ou. Fè m' wè jan w'ap tire revanj ou sou yo.
21 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking thy life, saying: Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, And thou dost not die by our hands.
Mesye lavil Anatòt yo te soti pou yo touye m'. Yo di m' konsa: O wi, si ou louvri bouch ou pou pale nan non Seyè a ankò, n'ap touye ou.
22 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: 'Lo, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
Enben, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: M' pral regle ak yo! Jenn gason yo pral mouri nan lagè. Pitit gason ak pitit fi yo pral mouri grangou.
23 And they have no remnant, For I bring evil unto the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!'
Lè lè a va rive pou yo peye pou sa yo fè a, m'ap voye yon sèl malè sou moun lavil Anatòt yo. Yo yonn p'ap chape.
