Jeremi 8
1 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Lè sa a, yo pral detere zosman wa Jida yo, zosman chèf li yo, zosman prèt yo, zosman pwofèt yo, zosman tout moun ki te rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.
At that time, sayeth the Lord, they shall bring out the bones of the Kings of Iudah, and the bones of their princes, and the bones of the Priests and the bones of the Prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Ierusalem out of their graues.
2 Yo pral kite yo atè a konsa devan solèy la, devan lalin lan, devan zetwal yo ki nan syèl la, paske se bagay sa yo moun sa yo te renmen, se sa yo t'ap sèvi, se sa yo t'ap swiv. Se sa yo t' al mande sa pou yo fè. Se pou yo yo t'ap fè sèvis. Pesonn p'ap ranmase zosman yo pou antere yo. Y'a tounen fimye atè a.
And they shall spread them before the sunne and the moone, and all the host of heauen, whom they haue loued, and whome they haue serued, and whome they haue followed, and whome they haue sought, and whome they haue worshipped: they shall not be gathered nor be buried, but shall be as doung vpon the earth.
3 Nan move ras sa a, gen yon ti rès moun ki va chape. Mwen pral gaye yo yon bann kote sou latè pou yo rete. Lè sa a, y'a règrèt yo pa t' mouri pito. Se Seyè a ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
And death shall bee desired rather then life of all the residue that remaineth of this wicked familie, which remaine in all the places where I haue scattered them, sayeth the Lord of hostes.
4 W'a di yo pou mwen men pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a: Lè yon moun tonbe, èske li pa leve ankò? Lè yon moun pèdi chemen l', èske li pa tounen kote l' soti a?
Thou shalt say vnto them also, Thus sayeth the Lord, Shall they fall and not arise? shall he turne away and not turne againe?
5 Poukisa atò, nou menm pèp lavil Jerizalèm, nou vire do ban mwen, epi nou pa vle chanje? Nou kenbe pye zidòl nou yo la tòt. Nou derefize tounen vin jwenn mwen.
Wherefore is this people of Ierusalem turned backe by a perpetuall rebellion? they gaue themselues to deceit, and would not returne.
6 M' pare zòrèy mwen pou m' tande tout sa n'ap di: Men, pawòl ki soti nan bouch nou pa laverite. Pa gen yonn nan nou ki gen lapenn pou mechanste n'ap fè yo. Pa gen yonn ki di: Kisa m'ap fè la a konsa? Tankou yon chwal k'ap kouri pou al nan lagè, yo pa tande yo pa wè, yo lage kò yo pi fon nan mechanste yo.
I hearkened and heard, but none spake aright: no man repented him of his wickednesse, saying, What haue I done? euery one turned to their race, as the horse rusheth into the battell.
7 Ata zwezo yo rele sigòy yo konnen lè pou yo tounen lakay yo. Menm toutrèl, ziwondèl ak valèt, yo konnen lè pou yo vwayaje tounen. Men, nou menm pèp mwen an, nou pa konnen regleman mwen ban nou pou nou swiv yo.
Euen the storke in the aire knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle and the crane and the swallowe obserue the time of their comming, but my people knoweth not the iudgement of the Lord.
8 Ki jan nou ka fè di nou gen bon konprann, lalwa Seyè a avèk nou? Men dirèktè lalwa yo, se yon bann malonèt. Avèk bèl pawòl yo, yo fè l' di sa li pa di.
Howe doe yee say, Wee are wise, and the Lawe of the Lord is with vs? Loe, certeinly in vaine made hee it, the penne of the scribes is in vaine.
9 Nou fè moun ki gen bon konprann yo wont. Yo kraponnen, yo kite moun pran tèt yo. Yo voye pawòl Seyè a jete. Kote bon konprann yo koulye a?
The wise men are ashamed: they are afraid and taken. loe, they haue reiected the word of the Lord, and what wisdome is in them?
10 Se poutèt sa m'ap pran madanm yo bay lòt moun. M'ap pran jaden yo bay moun k'ap anvayi peyi yo a. Paske yo tout, gran kou piti, ap fè akrèk dèyè lajan. Ni pwofèt yo, ni prèt yo, yo tout ap twonpe pèp la pou fè lajan.
Therefore will I giue their wiues vnto others, and their fieldes to them that shall possesse them: for euery one from the least euen vnto the greatest is giuen to couetousnesse, and from the Prophet euen vnto the Priest, euery one dealeth falsely.
11 Yo pa pran malè ki rive pèp mwen an pou anyen. Y'ap plede di: Tout bagay ap mache byen! Pa gen danje! Epi, manti! Anyen p'ap mache.
For they haue healed the hurt of the daughter of my people with sweete woordes, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
12 Ou kwè yo ta wont pou bagay lèd yo fè yo? Bichi! Yo pa wont menm. Yo pa konn sa ki rele wont. Se poutèt sa, yo pral tonbe menm jan lòt yo te tonbe a. Lè m'a pini yo, se va bout yo. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not ashamed, neither coulde they haue any shame: therefore shall they fall among the slaine: when I shall visite them, they shall be cast downe, sayeth the Lord.
13 Mwen te soti pou m' te ranmase pèp mwen an tankou moun k'ap ranmase rekòt li. Men, yo te tankou pye rezen san yon rezen ladan l', tankou pye fig frans san yon fig frans ladan l'. Se poutèt sa m' kite etranje pran peyi a nan men yo.
I wil surely consume them, sayth the Lord: there shalbe no grapes on the vine, nor figges on the figtree, and the leafe shall fade, and the things that I haue giuen them, shall depart from them.
14 Pèp la menm ap di: -Poukisa nou rete bra kwaze konsa? Annou sanble! Ann kouri ale nan lavil ki gen ranpa yo! Se la pou nou mouri. Paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kondannen nou pou n' mouri. Li ban nou pwazon pou n' bwè, paske nou antò devan li.
Why doe we stay? assemble your selues, and let vs enter into the strong cities, and let vs be quiet there: for the Lord our God hath put vs to silence and giuen vs water with gall to drinke, because we haue sinned against the Lord.
15 Nou t'ap tann li ban nou kè poze ak lasante. Men anyen pa mache. Nou t'ap tann li vin geri nou, men se pè l'ap fè nou pè.
We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold troubles.
16 Lènmi deja rive nan zòn lavil Dann lan. Nou tande souf chwal yo. Tout tè a ap tranble lè chwal yo ap ranni. Lènmi an ap vini, l'ap detwi peyi a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'. L'ap kraze lavil yo ansanm ak tout moun ki ladan yo.
The neying of his horses was heard from Dan, the whole lande trembled at the noyse of the neying of his strong horses: for they are come, and haue deuoured the land with all that is in it, the citie, and those that dwell therein.
17 Seyè a di ankò: -Men m'ap lage sèpan dèyè nou, move sèpan nou p'ap ka chame. Y'ap mòde nou.
For beholde, I will sende serpents, and cockatrices among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall sting you, sayth the Lord.
18 Anyen pa ka soulaje lapenn mwen! Kè m' ap fann!
I would haue comforted my selfe against sorowe, but mine heart is heauie in me.
19 Koute jan pèp mwen an ap rele mande sekou toupatou nan peyi a. Gen lè Seyè a pa sou mòn Siyon an ankò? Gen lè wa Siyon an pa la ankò? Seyè a reponn: -Poukisa nou fè m' fache konsa? N'ap sèvi zidòl, n'ap fè sèvis pou bondye lòt nasyon yo ki pa vo anyen.
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people for feare of them of a farre countrey, Is not the Lord in Zion? is not her king in her? Why haue they prouoked mee to anger with their grauen images, and with the vanities of a strange god?
20 Pèp la ap rele: -Sezon chalè a fini. Sezon rekòt la pase. Nou pa sove jouk koulye a!
The haruest is past, the sommer is ended, and we are not holpen.
21 Kè m' ap fann lè m' wè jan y'ap kraze pèp mwen an. M' pa wè sa pou m' fè ankò! M' dekouraje nèt.
I am sore vexed for the hurt of ye daughter of my people: I am heauie, and astonishment hath taken me.
22 Pa gen renmèd pou yo nan peyi Galarad? Pa gen dòktè ankò laba a? Poukisa atò pèp mwen an pa ka jwenn lasante?
Is there no balme at Gilead? is there no Physition there? Why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recouered.
