Jeremi 1
1 Pawòl a Jérémie yo, fis a Hilkija a, yon nan prèt yo ki te nan Anathoth nan peyi Benjamin.
[the] words of Jeremiah [the] son of Hilkiah one of the priests who [were] at Anathoth in [the] land of Benjamin.
2 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini kote li nan jou Josias yo, fis a Amon an, wa Juda a, nan trèzyèm ane règn li an.
Whom it came [the] word of Yahweh to him in [the] days of Josiah [the] son of Amon [the] king of Judah in thir-teen year of reigning his.
3 Li te anplis, vin rive nan jou Jojakim yo, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, jis rive nan fen onzyèm ane Sédécias, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, jis rive nan egzil a Jérusalem nan senkyèm mwa a.
And it came in [the] days of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah until was finished one [plus] ten year of Zedekiah [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah until went into exile Jerusalem in the month fifth.
4 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen e te di:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
5 Avan Mwen te fòme ou nan vant, Mwen te konnen ou, e avan ou te fèt mwen te konsakre ou. Mwen te deziye ou kon yon pwofèt a nasyon yo.
Before (I formed you *Q(k)*) in the belly I knew you and before you came forth from [the] womb I set apart you a prophet to the nations I appointed you.
6 Konsa, mwen te di: “Malè a mwen, Senyè BONDYE! Gade byen, mwen pa menm konnen kijan pou m pale, paske mwen se sèlman yon jennonm.”
And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh here! not I know to speak for [am] a youth I.
7 Men SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Pa di: ‘Mwen se sèlman yon jennonm’, paske tout kote Mwen voye ou, ou va ale, e tout sa ke Mwen kòmande ou, ou va pale l.
And he said Yahweh to me may not you say [am] a youth I for to every [one] whom I will send you you will go and all that I will command you you will speak.
8 Pa pè yo, Paske Mwen avèk ou pou delivre ou”, SENYÈ a di.
May not you be afraid of them for [will be] with you I to deliver you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
9 Epi SENYÈ a te lonje men L e te touche bouch mwen. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Gade byen, Mwen te mete pawòl Mwen nan bouch ou.
And he stretched out Yahweh hand his and he touched mouth my and he said Yahweh to me here! I have put words my in mouth your.
10 Ou wè, Mwen te deziye ou nan jou sa a sou nasyon yo, ak sou wayòm yo, pou rache, pou demoli, pou detwi, pou boulvèse, pou bati ak pou plante.”
See I appoint you - the day this over the nations and over kingdoms to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy and to tear down to build and to plant.
11 Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di: “Se kisa ou wè, Jérémie?” Mwen te reponn: “Mwen wè yon bout branch zanmann.”
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying what? [are] you seeing O Jeremiah and I said a branch of an almond tree I [am] seeing.
12 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Ou te wè byen; paske Mwen ap veye sou pawòl Mwen pou pawòl Mwen vin fèt.”
And he said Yahweh to me you have done well to see for [am] watching I over word my to do it.
13 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen yon dezyèm fwa epi te di: “Se kisa ou wè”? Epi mwen te di: “Mwen wè yon chodyè k ap bouyi, k ap apiye fas li kont nò a.”
And it came [the] word of Yahweh - to me a second [time] saying what? [are] you seeing and I said a pot blown upon I [am] seeing and face its [is] away from [the] face of north-ward.
14 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Depi nan nò a, mal la va pete vin parèt sou tout sila ki rete nan peyi a.
And he said Yahweh to me from [the] north it will be let loose calamity on all [the] inhabitants of the land.
15 Paske gade byen, Mwen ap rele tout fanmi a wayòm yo nan nò”, deklare SENYÈ a; “Yo va vini, e yo chak va plase twòn yo nan antre pòtay Jérusalem nan, kont tout miray antoure li yo, e kont tout vil Juda yo.
For - here I [am] summoning all [the] clans of [the] kingdoms of north-ward [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will come and they will set each one throne his [the] entrance of - [the] gates of Jerusalem and on all walls its all around and on all [the] cities of Judah.
16 Mwen va pwononse jijman Mwen sou yo pou tout mechanste yo, akòz yo te abandone Mwen, te ofri sakrifis a lòt dye yo, e te adore pwòp zèv men pa yo.
And I will speak judgments my with them on all wickedness their which they have forsaken me and they have made smoke to gods other and they have bowed down to [the] products of hands their.
17 “Alò, pou sa a, mare senti ou, epi leve pou pale yo tout sa ke M kòmande ou. Pa pè devan yo, sinon Mwen va fè ou pè devan yo.
And you you will gird loins your and you will arise and you will say to them all that I I will command you may not you be dismayed because of them lest I should make dismayed you before them.
18 Gade byen, Mwen te fè ou menm jodi a kon yon vil fòtifye, kon yon pilye fè e kon miray an bwonz kont yon peyi nèt—a wa Juda yo, ak prens li yo, vè prèt li yo e a pèp a peyi a.
And I here! I have made you this day into a city of fortification and into a pillar of iron and into walls of bronze on all the land to [the] kings of Judah to officials its to priests its and to [the] people of the land.
19 Yo va goumen kont ou, men yo p ap reyisi; paske Mwen avèk ou pou delivre ou,” deklare SENYÈ a.
And they will fight against you and not they will prevail to you for [will be] with you I [the] utterance of Yahweh to deliver you.
