Jeremi 17
1 Peche a Juda ekri ak yon plim fèt an fè, ak yon pwent dyaman. Li grave sou tablo kè yo, ak sou kòn lotèl pa yo.
The sin of Juda is written with a pen of iron, with the point of a diamond, it is graven upon the table of their heart, upon the horns of their altars.
2 Menm jan yo sonje pitit pa yo, se konsa yo sonje lotèl pa yo, ak Asherim sou kote bwa vèt, sou wo kolin yo.
When their children shall remember their altars, and their groves, and their green trees upon high mountains,
3 O mòn nan vil andeyò Mwen an, Mwen va bay yo tout richès ou yo ak tout trezò ou yo kon piyaj, wo plas ou yo pou peche, nan tout lizyè ou yo.
Sacrificing in the field: I will give thy strength, and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin in all thy borders.
4 Epi ou va menm pou kont ou, kite eritaj ke M te ba ou la. Konsa, Mwen va fè ou sèvi lènmi ou yo nan peyi ke ou pa konnen an; paske ou te limen nan kòlè Mwen yon dife ki va brile jis pou tout tan.
And thou shalt be left stripped of thy inheritance, which I gave thee: and I will make thee serve thy enemies in a land which thou knowest not: because thou hast kindled a fire in my wrath, it shall burn for ever.
5 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Modi se moun ki mete konfyans nan lòm, ki fè lachè vin fòs li, ak kè a sila ki tounen lwen SENYÈ a.
Thus saith the Lord: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 Paske li va tankou bwa raje nan dezè; li p ap janm wè lè bonè rive, men li va viv pami wòch savann nan dezè a, nan yon peyi sale, san moun ki rete ladann.
For he shall be like tamaric in the desert, and he shall not see when good shall come: but he shall dwell in dryness in the desert in a salt land, and not inhabited.
7 “Beni se nonm ki konfye nan SENYÈ a, ak sila ki mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a.
Blessed be the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord shall be his confidence.
8 Paske li va tankou yon ab ki plante kote dlo, ki lonje rasin li akote yon sous dlo. Li p ap pè lè chalè a rive, men fèy li yo va vèt. Li p ap twouble nan ane sechrès la, ni sispann bay fwi.
And he shall be as a tree that is planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots towards moisture: and it shall not fear when the heat cometh. And the leaf thereof shall be green, and in the time of drought it shall not be solicitous, neither shall it cease at any time to bring forth fruit.
9 Kè lòm plen manti plis ke tout lòt yo. Nanpwen lasante ladann nan. Se kilès ki ka konprann li?
The heart is perverse above all things, and unsearchable, who can know it?
10 “Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen sonde kè; Mwen pase panse a leprèv, pou M ka menm bay a chak moun selon chemen pa li, selon fwi a zèv li yo.”
I am the Lord who search the heart and prove the reins: who give to every one according to his way, and according to the fruit of his devices.
11 Kon yon pentad ki kale ze ki pa t pou li, se konsa sila ki ranmase richès san dwa. Nan mitan jou li yo, yo va kite li, e lè vi l fini, li va yon moun bèt.
As the partridge hath hatched eggs which she did not lay: so is he that hath gathered riches, and not by right: in the midst of his days he shall leave them, and in his latter end he shall be a fool.
12 Yon twòn plen ak laglwa plase an wo, depi kòmansman an, se li ki azil nou.
A high and glorious throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctification:
13 O SENYÈ, espwa Israël la, tout moun ki abandone Ou yo, va vin wont. Sila yo ki kite Mwen sou latè yo, sou latè non yo va vin enskri, akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, sous dlo vivan an.
O Lord the hope of Israel: all that forsake thee shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shall be written in the earth: because they have forsaken the Lord, the vein of living waters.
14 Geri mwen, O SENYÈ e mwen va geri nèt! Sove mwen e mwen va sove! Paske se Ou menm ki lwanj mwen an.
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed: save me, and I shall be saved, for thou art my praise.
15 Gade, y ap di mwen tout tan: “Kote pawòl SENYÈ a? Kite l ranpli koulye a”.
Behold they say to me: Where is the word of the Lord? let it come.
16 Men pou mwen menm, mwen pa t kouri pou m ta sispann fè bèje pou Ou, ni mwen pa t anvi wè jou malè sa a. Ou konnen! Tout pawòl lèv mwen yo te nan prezans Ou.
And I am not troubled, following thee for my pastor, and I have not desired the day of man, thou knowest. That which went out of my lips, hath been right in thy sight.
17 Pa fè m gwo laperèz. Ou se azil mwen nan jou gwo twoub la.
Be not thou a terror unto me, thou art my hope in the day of affliction.
18 Ke sila ki pèsekite mwen yo vin wont, men pou mwen menm, pa kite mwen vin wont; kite yo twouble nèt, men pa kite m vin twouble. Mennen sou yo yon jou gwo twoub. Detwi yo ak yon destriksyon ki doub!
Let them be confounded that persecute me, and let not me be confounded: let them be afraid, and let not me be afraid: bring upon them the day of affliction, and with a double destruction, destroy them.
19 Konsa SENYÈ a te pale mwen: “Ale kanpe nan pòtay piblik la, kote wa Juda yo fè antre sòti a, nan tout pòtay Jérusalem yo.
Thus saith the Lord to me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Juda come in, and go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem:
20 Pale yo konsa: ‘Koute pawòl SENYÈ a, wa Juda yo, e tout Juda ak tout sila k ap viv Jérusalem yo, k ap fè antre sòti nan pòtay yo:
And thou shalt say to them: Hear the word of the Lord, ye kings of Juda, and all Juda, and all the inhabitant of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates.
21 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Veye afè nou e pa pote okenn chaj nan jou Saba a, ni pa mennen anyen antre nan pòtay Jérusalem nan.
Thus saith the Lord: Take heed to your souls and carry no burdens on the Sabbath day: and bring them not in by the gates of Jerusalem.
22 Nou p ap fè okenn chaj sòti lakay nou nan jou Saba a. Ni pa fè okenn travay, men kenbe jou Saba a sen, jan Mwen te kòmande papa zansèt nou yo.
And do not bring burdens out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work: sanctify the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
23 Men yo pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy yo, men yo te fè tèt di pou yo pa ta koute, ni vin korije.
But they did not hear, nor incline their ear: but hardened their neck, that they might not hear me, and might not receive instruction.
24 Men li va vin rive ke si ou koute M byen pre,” deklare SENYÈ a, “pou pa fè chaj antre nan pòtay lavil sa a nan jou Saba a, men ou kenbe Saba a sen e pa fè travay sou li,
And it shall come to pass: if you will hearken to me, saith the Lord, to bring in no burdens by the gates of this city on the sabbath day: and if you will sanctify the sabbath day, to do no work therein:
25 alò, va genyen moun ki antre nan pòtay lavil sa a, wa ak prens ki chita sou twòn a David yo, monte sou cha yo ak sou cheval yo, yo menm ak prens pa yo, moun Juda ak sila ki rete Jérusalem yo e vil sa a va abite jis pou tout tan.
Then shall there enter in by the gates of this city kings and princes, sitting upon the throne of David, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited forever.
26 Yo va antre ladann soti nan vil a Juda yo ak tout andwa ki antoure Jérusalem yo; soti nan peyi Benjamin, soti nan ba plèn nan, nan peyi kolin yo ak nan dezè a, k ap pote ofrann brile, sakrifis, ofrann sereyal, ak lansan e yo va mennen sakrifis a remèsiman lakay SENYÈ a.
And they shall come from the cities of Juda, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plains, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing holocausts, and victims, and sacrifices, and frankincense, and they shall bring in an offering into the house of the Lord.
27 Men si nou pa koute Mwen e pa kenbe jou Saba a sen ak sispann pote chaj e antre nan pòtay Jérusalem nan jou Saba a; alò, Mwen va limen yon dife nan pòtay li yo. Konsa, li va devore palè Jérusalem yo, e li p ap etenn menm.”’”
But if you will not hearken to me, to sanctify the sabbath day, and not to carry burdens, and not to bring them in by the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day: I will kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the houses of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
