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 said the LORD, "Go, and buy a potter's earthen bottle, and take with you some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the cohanim;

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 go forth to the Valley of Ben Hinnom, which is by the entry of the Potsherd Gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you;

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 say, 'Hear the word of the LORD, kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem: thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Look, I will bring evil on this place, which whoever hears, his ears 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 have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, that they did not know, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place 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 have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings to Baal; which I did not command, nor spoke it, neither came it into my mind:

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, look, the days come," says the LORD, "that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The 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.

I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those who seek their life: and their dead bodies will I give to be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.

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'.

I will make this city an astonishment, and a hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.

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.

I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat everyone the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their life, shall distress them."'

10 Lè sa a, Seyè a di m': -W'a kraze kannari a devan je mesye ki t' al avè ou yo.

Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men who go with you,

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 shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again; and they shall bury in Topheth, until there is 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 do to this place," says the LORD, "and to its inhabitants, even making this city as 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.

and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to 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 Jeremiah from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house, and said 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, 'Look, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.'"
