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 Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your 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.
Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
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.
O my mountain in the field, I will give your substance and all your treasures to the spoil, and your high places for sin, throughout all your 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 you, even yourself, shall discontinue from your heritage that I gave you; and I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land which you know not: for all of you have kindled a fire in mine anger, which 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 says the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs 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 the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good comes; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, 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 is the man that trusts in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
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.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
9 Kè lòm plen manti plis ke tout lòt yo. Nanpwen lasante ladann nan. Se kilès ki ka konprann li?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: 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 the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
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 sits on eggs, and hatches them not; so he that gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
12 Yon twòn plen ak laglwa plase an wo, depi kòmansman an, se li ki azil nou.
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
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 you shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain 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 you are my praise.
15 Gade, y ap di mwen tout tan: “Kote pawòl SENYÈ a? Kite l ranpli koulye a”.
Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
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.
As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow you: neither have I desired the woeful day; you know: that which came out of my lips was right before you.
17 Pa fè m gwo laperèz. Ou se azil mwen nan jou gwo twoub la.
Be not a terror unto me: you are my hope in the day of evil.
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, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
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 said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they 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 say unto them, Hear all of you the word of the LORD, all of you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants 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 says the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it 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.
Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do all of you any work, but hallow all of you 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 obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor 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 all of you diligently hearken unto me, says the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow 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 into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
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 Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and food offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto 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 all of you will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
