Jeremiah 19
1 Thus said Jehovah, 'Go, and thou hast got a potter's earthen vessel, and of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ale achte yon po kanari nan men mèt krich la. Pran kèk nan ansyen a pèp yo, ak kèk nan prèt prensipal yo.
2 and thou hast gone forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery, and hast proclaimed there the words that I speak unto thee,
Konsa, ale deyò nan vale Ben-Hinnom nan, ki akote antre pòtay kanari kraze a, e la pwoklame pawòl ke M pale ou yo.
3 and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: 'Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which the ears of every one who is hearing it do tingle,
Di: ‘Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, O wa Juda yo ak moun ki rete Jérusalem yo: konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou mennen gwo malè sou plas sa a, k ap fè zòrèy a tout moun ki tande yo vin toudi.
4 because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this place, and make perfume in it to other gods, that they knew not, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they have filled this place [with] innocent blood,
Akoz yo te abandone Mwen, yo te fè plas sa a vin pa pwòp, e yo te brile sakrifis nan li bay lòt dye, ke ni yo menm, ni papa zansèt yo, ni wa a Juda yo pa t janm konnen—epi akoz yo te plen plas sa a ak san a inosan yo,
5 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons with fire, burnt-offerings to Baal, that I commanded not, nor spake of, nor did it come up on My heart.
akoz yo te bati wo plas a Baal yo pou brile pwòp fis pa yo nan dife kon ofrann brile a Baal yo, yon bagay ke Mwen pa t janm kòmande, ni pale, ni li pa t janm antre nan tèt Mwen.’
6 'Therefore, lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and this place is not called any more, Tophet, and Valley of the son of Hinnom, but, Valley of slaughter.
Akoz tout sa a, gade byen, jou yo ap vini,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou plas sa a pa rele ‘Topheth’ ankò, oswa ‘Vale Ben-Hinnom’ nan; men pito, ‘Vale a Gwo Masak’ la.
7 And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and I have given their carcase for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth,
“‘“Mwen va fè nil tout konsèy Juda ak Jérusalem nan plas sa a. Mwen va fè yo tonbe pa nepe devan lènmi yo, e pa men a sila k ap chache lavi yo. Konsa, Mwen va bay kadav yo pou manje a zwazo syèl yo, ak bèt sovaj latè yo.
8 and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for all its plagues.
Anplis, Mwen va fè vil sa a yon dega, yon objè degoutan k ap fè moun soufle anlè kon koulèv. Tout moun ki pase akote li va vin etone, e sifle anlè akoz tout dezas li yo.
9 And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters, and each the flesh of his friend they do eat, in the siege and in the straitness with which straiten them do their enemies, and those seeking their life.
Mwen va fè yo manje chè pwòp fis pa yo ak fi pa yo. Yo va manje chè youn lòt nan syèj la, ak nan gwo twoub avèk sila lènmi pa yo, ak sila k ap chache lavi yo va twouble yo.”’
10 'And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going with thee,
“Nan moman sa a, ou gen pou kraze kanari a devan zye a tout moun ki akonpanye ou.
11 and hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Thus do I break this people and this city, as one breaketh the potter's vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in Tophet they bury — without place to bury;
Epi di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Se konsa Mwen va kraze pèp sa a ak vil sa a, jis jan ke yon moun kraze yon po kanari, pou l pa ka repare ankò. Yo va antere Topheth, jis lè pa gen plas pou antere ankò.
12 so I do to this place — an affirmation of Jehovah — and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
Se konsa, mwen va trete plas sa a ak moun ki rete ladann yo,” deklare SENYÈ a, “pou fè vil sa a tankou Topheth.
13 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, have been — as the place of Tophet — defiled, even all the houses on whose roofs they have made perfume to all the host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other gods.'
Lakay Juda ak lakay a wa Juda yo va vin souye kon Topheth, akoz anwo twati a tout kay yo te brile sakrifis a tout lame syèl yo, e te vide bwason kon ofrann a lòt dye yo.”’”
14 And Jeremiah cometh in from Tophet, whither Jehovah had sent him to prophesy, and he standeth in the court of the house of Jehovah, and he saith unto all the people:
Konsa, Jérémie te sòti Topheth, kote SENYÈ a te voye l pwofetize a. Li te kanpe nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a e te di a tout pèp la:
15 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto this city, and on all its cities, all the evil that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their neck — not to hear My words!'
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou mennen sou vil sila a ak tout bouk li yo tout gwo twoub ke M te deklare kont li yo, akoz yo te fè tèt yo di pou pa koute pawòl Mwen yo.’”
