Jeremi 19
1 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Leve al achte yon kannari. Lèfini, pran kèk chèf fanmi ak kèk chèf prèt avè ou.
Thus sayth the Lord, Goe, and buy an earthen bottel of a potter, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the Priests,
2 W'a soti lavil la, w'a pase nan pòtay Kannari Kraze, bò Fon Benn Inon an. Lè w'a rive la, w'a pale byen fò pou di yo mesaj m'a ba ou a.
And goe forth vnto the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is by the entrie of the East gate: and thou shalt preache there the wordes, that I shall tell thee,
3 Men sa w'a di yo: -Nou menm wa peyi Jida yo, ansanm ak tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo, koute mesaj Seyè a. Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Mwen pral mennen yon sèl malè isit la. Lè moun va pran nouvèl la, yo p'ap vle kwè zòrèy yo.
And shalt say, Heare yee the worde of the Lord, O Kings of Iudah, and inhabitantes of Ierusalem, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring a plague vpon this place, the which whosoeuer heareth, his eares shall tingle.
4 M'ap fè sa paske yo vire do ban mwen. Yo pran peyi a pou fè bagay yo pa t' dwe fè, yo boule lansan pou bondye moun lòt nasyon yo, bondye ni yo menm, ni zansèt yo, ni wa peyi Jida yo pa t' janm konnen. Epi yo touye yon pakèt ti inonsan.
Because they haue forsaken me, and prophaned this place, and haue burnt incense in it vnto other gods, whome neyther they, nor their fathers haue knowen, nor the Kings of Iudah (they haue filled this place also with the blood of innocents,
5 Yo moute lòt lotèl pou Baal. Yo pran pitit yo, yo touye yo, yo boule yo nèt nan dife pou Baal, bagay mwen pa janm mande yo fè, bagay mwen pa janm louvri bouch mwen di, bagay ki pa janm vin nan lide m'.
And they haue built the hie places of Baal, to burne their sonnes with fire for burnt offrings vnto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my minde)
6 Enben! Se konsa yon jou ap vini. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale. Yo p'ap janm rele isit la Tofèt, ni Fon Benn Inon. Y'a rele l' Fon Masak la.
Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor ye valley of Ben-hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.
7 Se isit la mwen pral kraze tout plan moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo t'ap fè yo. M'ap fè lènmi yo touye yo nan lagè. M'ap fè yo mouri anba men moun ki soti pou touye yo. Lèfini, m'ap kite kadav yo sèvi manje pou zwazo nan syèl la ak bèt nan bwa.
And I will bring the counsell of Iudah and Ierusalem to nought in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seeke their liues: and their carkeises will I giue to be meate for ye foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the fielde.
8 M'ap fè lavil Jerizalèm tounen dezè. Moun va sezi wè sa. Tout moun k'ap pase bò la pral sezi, y'ap mete men nan tèt lè y'a wè dega ki fèt ladan l'.
And I will make this citie desolate and an hissing, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and hisse because of all ye plagues thereof.
9 Lè lènmi yo, moun ki soti pou touye yo, va sènen lavil la, sa va ba yo yon sèl kè sere, sa va lage yo nan yon sèl mizè, y'a manje pwòp pitit gason ak pwòp pitit fi yo. Yonn pral manje lòt.
And I will feede the with the flesh of their sonnes and with the flesh of their daughters, and euery one shall eate the flesh of his friende in the siege and straitnesse, wherewith their enemies that seeke their liues, shall hold them strait.
10 Lè sa a, Seyè a di m': -W'a kraze kannari a devan je mesye ki t' al avè ou yo.
Then shalt thou breake the bottell in the sight of the men that go with thee,
11 W'a di yo: Men pawòl Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a: Mwen pral kraze pèp sa a ak tout lavil sa a. Yo pral tankou yon kannari kraze ki pa ka ranje ankò. Yo pral antere moun ata nan Tofèt, paske p'ap gen plas ankò lòt kote pou antere yo.
And shalt say vnto them, Thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Euen so will I breake this people and this citie, as one breaketh a potters vessell, that cannot be made whole againe, and they shall bury them in Topheth till there be no place to bury.
12 Se sa mwen pwomèt pou m' fè lavil sa a ansanm ak tout moun ki rete ladan l' yo. M'ap fè lavil la tounen tankou Tofèt.
Thus will I doe vnto this place, sayth the Lord, and to the inhabitantes thereof, and I will make this citie like Topheth.
13 Wi, kay lavil Jerizalèm yo ansanm ak kay wa peyi Jida yo ap tankou Tofèt. Yo p'ap ka sèvi pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye. Wi, tout kay sa yo se kote yo te moute anwo sou teras pou boule lansan pou zetwal, pou ofri diven bay lòt bondye.
For the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses of the Kings of Iudah shalbe defiled as the place of Topheth, because of al the houses vpon whose roofes they haue burnt incense vnto all the host of heauen, and haue powred out drinke offerings vnto other gods.
14 Lèfini, Jeremi kite Tofèt kote Seyè a te voye l' al bay mesaj li a, li al kanpe nan gwo lakou Tanp lan. Li di pèp la konsa:
Then came Ieremiah from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stood in the court of the Lordes house, and sayde to all the people,
15 -Men pawòl Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la: Mwen pral voye sou lavil sa a ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo, tout chatiman mwen te di m'ap voye yo, paske yo fè tèt di, yo pa vle koute sa m' di yo.
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon this citie, and vpon all her townes, all the plagues that I haue pronounced against it, because they haue hardened their neckes, and would not heare my wordes.
