Jeremi 9
1 Jan mwen ta renmen wè tèt mwen tounen yon sous dlo, de je m' yo tounen de fontenn k'ap bay dlo, pou m' kriye lajounen kou lannwit, pou moun yo touye nan pèp mwen an!
Who? will he give head my [was] water and eye my [was] a fountain of tear[s] so I may bewail by day and night [those] slain of [the] daughter of people my.
2 Jan mwen ta renmen jwenn yon ti kote pou m' rete nan mitan dezè a, pou m' manyè kite pèp mwen an, pou m' al byen lwen yo. Yo yonn pa kenbe pawòl yo ak Bondye. Se yon bann trèt yo ye.
Who? will he give me in the wilderness a lodging place of travelers and I will leave people my and I will go from with them for all of them [are] adulterers an assembly of treacherous [people].
3 Yo toujou pare pou bay manti. Se metye yo sa. Se sa ki penmèt yo rive vin chèf nan peyi a. Y'ap fè dezaksyon sou dezaksyon. Yo pa konnen m' ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
And they have bent tongue their bow of their falsehood and not to faithfulness they are strong in the land for from evil to evil - they have gone out and me not they know [the] utterance of Yahweh.
4 Se pou tout moun veye kò yo ak zanmi yo. Pesonn pa ka fè frè yo konfyans. Paske tout frè vle pase devan pwòp frè yo. Tout moun ap bay zanmi yo kout lang.
Each from neighbor his take heed and on any brother may not you rely for every brother certainly he cheats and every neighbor a slanderer he goes about.
5 Yo tout ap woule zanmi yo. Pesonn pa di laverite. Y'ap file lang yo pou bay manti. Y'ap touye tèt yo nan fè mechanste.
And each neighbor his they deceive and truth not they speak they have taught tongue their to speak falsehood to iniquire they are weary.
6 Y'ap fè britalite sou britalite. Y'ap twonpe moun yonn dèyè lòt. Yo derefize rekonèt mwen. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
Dwelling you in among deceit on deceit they have refused to know me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
7 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: -Mwen pral pase yo nan dife pou m' netwaye yo tankou yo fè l' pou lò. Mwen pral sonde yo. Pèp mwen an fè twòp mechanste. Pou jan yo fè mechanste, se sa m' bliye m' p'ap fè yo.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to refine them and I will test them for how? will I act because of [the] daughter of people my.
8 Lang yo tankou ponya wouye. Se manti ase ki nan bouch yo. Lè y'ap pale ak zanmi yo, se bèl pawòl ase ki nan bouch yo. Men nan kè yo, se pèlen y'ap pare pou yo.
[is] an arrow (Beaten *Q(K)*) tongue their deceit it speaks with mouth his peace with neighbor his someone speaks and in inner being his he sets ambush his.
9 Atò pou m' pa ta pini yo pou tout bagay sa yo? Atò pou m' pa ta pran revanj mwen sou yon nasyon konsa? Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
¿ On these [things] not will I visit them [the] utterance of Yahweh or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
10 Mwen di: -Mwen pral kriye, mwen pral plenn pou mòn yo, mwen pral plenn sò patiraj bèt yo. Paske yo fin boule. Pesonn pa pase la ankò. Ou pa tande bri yon bèt ladan yo. Depi zwezo k'ap vole nan syèl la jouk bèt nan bwa, tout met deyò, y' ale.
On the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing and on [the] pastures of [the] wilderness lamentation for they are left desolate because not anyone [who] passes through and not people hear [the] sound of livestock from [the] bird[s] of the heavens and unto animal[s] they have fled they have gone.
11 M'ap fè lavil Jerizalèm tounen yon pil mazi kote chat mawon rete. M'ap fè tout lavil peyi Jida yo tounen dezè san pesonn ladan yo.
And I will make Jerusalem into heaps of stones a habitation of jackals and [the] cities of Judah I will make a waste because not inhabitant.
12 Mwen mande ki moun gen lespri ase pou konprann sa k'ap rive la a? Ki moun Seyè a te esplike bagay sa yo? Se pou l' fè moun konnen poukisa peyi a fini konsa, poukisa li boule tankou dezè a, poukisa pa gen pesonn ladan l' ankò.
Who? [is] the person wise and he may understand this and whom it has spoken [the] mouth of Yahweh to him so he may declare it concerning what? has it been destroyed the land has it become desolate? like wilderness because not [one who] passes by.
13 Seyè a reponn mwen: -Sa rive konsa paske pèp mwen an pa kenbe tou sa mwen te moutre yo. Yo pa koute m'. Yo pa fè sa m' te di yo fè.
And he said Yahweh because have forsaken they law my which I set before them and not they have listened to voice my and not they have walked in it.
14 Yo fè tèt di pi rèd, yo rete ap sèvi zidòl Baal zansèt yo te fè yo konnen an.
And they have walked after [the] stubbornness of own heart their and after the Baals which they taught them ancestors their.
15 Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, m' di: Mwen pral ba yo zèb anmè pou yo manje, mwen pral ba yo dlo anpwazonnen pou yo bwè.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to feed them the people this wormwood and I will give to drink them water of poison.
16 Mwen pral gaye yo nan mitan yon bann nasyon ni yo menm ni zansèt yo pa t' janm konnen. Mwen pral voye lènmi fè yo lagè jouk mwen fin touye yo nèt.
And I will scatter them among the nations which not they knew they and ancestors their and I will send forth after them the sword until have made an end of I them.
17 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Kalkile sou sa ki gen pou rive a! Rele medam yo pou yo vin kenbe rèl la pou nou! Voye chache sa ki konn rele yo! Fè yo vini!
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts consider and summon the wailing [women] and they may come and to the skillful [women] send so they may come.
18 Pèp la di: Di yo fè vit vin plenn sò nou! Annou kriye, annou fè je nou kouri dlo!
And they may hasten and they may take up on us wailing so they may run down eyes our tear[s] and eyelids our they may flow water.
19 Tande rèl moun yo sou mòn Siyon an. -Woy! Woy! Gade jan nou fini! Ala wont nou wont! Se pou nou kite peyi nou an! Yo kraze tout kay nou yo.
For a sound of wailing it has been heard from Zion how! we have been devastated we have been put to shame exceedingly for we have left [the] land for people have cast down dwellings our.
20 Mwen di: -Nou menm medam, koute sa Seyè a ap di. Louvri zòrèy nou pou nou tande pawòl k'ap soti nan bouch li. Moutre pitit fi nou yo jan pou yo plenn. Y'a moutre zanmi fi yo jan pou yo rele.
For hear O women [the] word of Yahweh so it may receive ear your [the] word of mouth his and teach daughters your a mourning song and every woman neighbor her a lamentation.
21 Lanmò ap pase nan fennèt yo. L'ap antre nan gwo bèl kay nou yo. Li pase men l' pran timoun nan lari, ak jenn gason sou plas mache yo.
For it has come up death in windows our it has come in fortresses our to cut off child[ren] from [the] street young men from [the] open places.
22 Seyè a di: -Kadav yo gaye toupatou, tankou fimye yo simen nan jaden, tankou grap diri moun k'ap ranmase rekòt yo kite atè. Pa gen pesonn pou ranmase yo.
Speak thus [the] utterance of Yahweh and it will fall [the] corpse[s] of people like dung on [the] surface of the field[s] and like cut grain from behind the reaper and there not [will be one who] gathers.
23 Piga moun ki gen lespri yo fè grandizè dèske yo gen bon konprann, ni moun ki vanyan yo dèske yo vanyan, ni moun rich yo dèske yo rich.
Thus - he says Yahweh may not he boast a wise [person] in wisdom his and may not he boast the mighty [person] in might his may not he boast a rich [person] in rich[es] his.
24 Men si yon moun vle fè grandizè, l'a fè grandizè dèske li konnen m', dèske li konprann mwen. Paske mwen gen bon kè, Mwen fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki kòrèk sou latè. Se bagay sa yo ki fè m' plezi. Se mwen Seyè a ki di sa.
That except in this let him boast who [-ever] boasts he has insight and he knows me that I [am] Yahweh [who] does covenant loyalty justice and righteousness on the earth for in these things I delight [the] utterance of Yahweh.
25 Seyè a di ankò: -Yon jou pral rive kote mwen pral regle moun ki pote mak kontra m' lan sou kò yo, men ki pa konnen m' nan kè yo:
Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on every [man] circumcised in a foreskin.
26 moun peyi Lejip yo, moun peyi Jida yo, moun peyi Edon yo, moun peyi Amon yo, moun peyi Moab yo, moun ki koupe cheve yo kout epi ki rete nan dezè a. Yo yonn pa kenbe kontra m' lan. Wi, ni moun peyi sa yo ni moun pèp Izrayèl yo, yo yonn pa kenbe kontra m' lan.
On Egypt and on Judah and on Edom and on [the] people of Ammon and on Moab and on all [those who] are cut off of [the] corner who dwell in the wilderness for all the nations [are] uncircumcised and all [the] house of Israel [are] uncircumcised of heart.
