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 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,
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 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,
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 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,
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 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,
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 with fire, burnt-offerings to Baal, that I commanded not, nor spake of, nor did it come up on My heart.
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, 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.
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 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,
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 have made this city for a desolation, and for a hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for 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.
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.
10 Lè sa a, Seyè a di m': -W'a kraze kannari a devan je mesye ki t' al avè ou yo.
'And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the men who are going 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 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;
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.
so I do to this place — an affirmation of Jehovah — and to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet;
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, 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.'
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:
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:
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 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!'
