Jeremi 12
1 Byen dwat, se Ou menm, O SENYÈ, lè m plede ka m avèk Ou. Anverite, mwen ta diskite yon ka lajistis avèk Ou. Poukisa chemen mechan an byen reyisi konsa? Poukisa tout sa ki aji nan manti yo rete alèz konsa?
Forsothe, Lord, thou art iust; if Y dispute with thee, netheles Y schal speke iust thingis to thee. Whi hath the weie of wickid men prosperite? It is wel to alle men that breken the lawe, and doen wickidli?
2 Ou te plante yo. Wi, konsa yo fin pran rasin. Yo grandi. Wi, yo fè fwi. Ou toupre nan lèv yo, men lespri yo lwen W.
Thou hast plauntid hem, and thei senten roote; thei encreessen, and maken fruyt; thou art niy to the mouth of hem, and fer fro the reynes of hem.
3 Men Ou konnen mwen, O SENYÈ. Ou wè mwen. Ou fè egzamen pou wè kè m vè Ou menm. Rale yo akote, tankou mouton k ap prale labatwa; mete yo apa pou jou gwo masak la.
And thou, Lord, hast knowe me, thou hast seyn me, and hast preued myn herte with thee. Gadere thou hem togidere as a flok to slayn sacrifice, and halewe thou hem in the dai of sleyng.
4 Depi kilè peyi a va gen dèy konsa, e vèdi chan an vin sèch konsa? Akoz mechanste a sila ki rete ladann yo, ni bèt ni zwazo detwi nèt; akoz yo te di: “Li p ap wè dènye fen nou an.”
Hou long schal the erthe mourne, and ech eerbe of the feeld schal be dried, for the malice of hem that dwellen ther ynne? A beeste is wastid, and a brid, for thei seiden, The Lord schal not se oure laste thingis.
5 Si ou te kouri ak moun apye yo, e yo fè ou bouke, kijan ou ka fè kous ak cheval? Malgre, nan yon peyi lapè, ou gen sekirite, men kijan ou va reyisi nan vye rakbwa Jourdain an?
If thou trauelist rennynge with foot men, hou schalt thou mow stryue with horsis? but whanne thou art sikur in the lond of pees, what schalt thou do in the pride of Jordan?
6 Paske menm frè ou yo ak lakay papa ou a; menm yo menm, te fè trèt avèk ou! Menm yo menm, te rele dèyè ou. Pa kwè yo, malgre bèl pawòl dous.
For whi bothe thi britheren and the hous of thi fadir, yhe, thei fouyten ayens thee, and crieden with ful vois aftir thee; bileue thou not to hem, whanne thei speken goodis to thee.
7 “Mwen te abandone lakay Mwen an, Mwen te abandone eritaj Mwen an; Mwen fin bay fi byeneme a nanm Mwen an pou antre nan men lènmi li yo.
I haue left myn hous, Y haue forsake myn eritage; Y yaf my loued soule in to the hondis of enemyes therof.
8 Eritaj Mwen an te vini pou Mwen, kon yon lyon k ap gwonde nan forè a. Li te gwonde kont Mwen. Akoz sa, Mwen te vin rayi li.
Myn eritage is maad as a lioun in the wode to me; it yaf vois ayens me, therfor Y hate it.
9 Èske eritaj Mwen an gen tan vin tankou yon zwazo takte nan lachas? Èske gen zwazo voras kont li tout kote? Ale, rasanble tout bèt sovaj nan chan yo. Mennen yo pou yo ka devore!
Whether myn eritage is a brid of dyuerse colours to me? whether it is a brid died thorou out? Alle beestis of the feeld, come ye, be ye gaderid togidere; haste ye for to deuoure.
10 Anpil bèje fin gate chan rezen Mwen yo. Yo te foule chan Mwen an anba pye; yo te fè bèl chan Mwen an vin yon savann dezole.
Many scheepherdis distrieden my vyner, defouliden my part, yauen my desirable porcioun in to desert of wildirnesse;
11 Li te vin yon dezè. Abandonen, li plenyen devan M. Tout latè vin dezole, akoz pèsòn pa pran sa an kè.
thei settiden it in to scateryng, and it mourenyde on me; al the lond is desolat bi desolacioun, for noon is that ayenthenkith in herte.
12 Sou tout do mòn sèch nan dezè yo, destriktè yo vin parèt, paske yon nepe SENYÈ a ap devore soti nan yon pwent peyi a jis rive nan lòt la. Nanpwen lapè pou pèsòn.
Alle distrieris of the lond camen on alle the weies of desert, for the swerd of the Lord schal deuoure fro the laste part of the lond `til to the laste part therof; no pees is to al fleisch.
13 Se ble yo te simen e yo rekòlte pikan. Yo te fè gwo efò, san ke yo pa reyisi anyen. Men se pou nou vin wont rekòlt nou an akoz gwo kòlè SENYÈ a.”
Thei sowiden wheete, and repiden thornes; thei token erytage, and it schal not profite to hem. Ye schulen be schent of youre fruytis, for the wraththe of the stronge veniaunce of the Lord.
14 Konsa pale SENYÈ a de tout vwazen mechan k ap atake eritaj ke Mwen te bay a pèp Mwen an, Israël: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou dechouke yo depi nan peyi pa yo. Anplis, Mwen va dechouke lakay Juda soti nan mitan yo.
The Lord seith these thingis ayens alle my worst neiyboris, that touchen the eritage which Y departide to my puple Israel, Lo! Y schal drawe hem out of her lond, and Y schal drawe the hous of Juda out of the myddis of hem.
15 Epi li va vin rive ke apre Mwen dechouke yo, Mwen va ankò gen konpasyon pou yo. Mwen va mennen yo retounen, yo chak a eritaj pa yo, e yo chak nan pwòp peyi pa yo.
And whanne Y schal drawe out thilke Jewis, Y schal conuerte, and haue merci on hem; and Y schal lede hem ayen, a man to his eritage, and a man in to his lond.
16 Epi si, anverite, yo va aprann chemen a pèp Mwen an, pou sèmante pa non Mwen: ‘Kon SENYÈ a viv la’, menm jan ke yo menm te enstwi pèp Mwen an pou sèmante pa Baal yo, yo va vin etabli nan mitan pèp Mwen an.
And it schal be, if thei `that ben tauyt lernen the weies of my puple, that thei swere in my name, The Lord lyueth, as thei tauyten my puple to swere in Baal, thei schulen be bildid in the myddis of my puple.
17 Men si yo pa koute, alò, Mwen va dechouke nasyon sa a, dechouke e detwi li,” deklare SENYÈ a.
That if thei heren not, Y schal drawe out that folk by drawyng out and perdicioun, seith the Lord.
