Jeremi 18
1 Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a ki te di:
The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
2 “Leve desann lakay mèt krich la, e la Mwen va anonse pawòl Mwen yo a ou menm.”
Arise and you will go down [the] house of the potter and there I will cause to hear you words my.
3 Konsa, mwen te desann lakay mèt krich la. E gade byen, li t ap fè yon bagay sou wou a.
And I went down [the] house of the potter (and there! he *Q(K)*) [was] doing work on the stones.
4 Men veso ke li t ap fè ak ajil la te gate nan men mèt krich la. Pou sa, li te refòme l fè yon lòt veso jan sa te fè l plezi fè a.
And it was spoiled the vessel which he [was] making with the clay in [the] hand of the potter and he would return and he made it a vessel another just as it was pleasing in [the] eyes of the potter to do.
5 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
6 Èske Mwen pa kabab, O lakay Israël, aji avèk ou menm jan mèt krich la konn fè a? deklare SENYÈ a. Gade byen, tankou ajil la nan men mèt krich la a, se konsa ou ye nan men Mwen, O lakay Israël.
¿ Like the potter this not am I able to do to you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh here! like the clay in [the] hand of the potter so you [are] in hand my O house of Israel.
7 Nan yon moman, Mwen ka pale konsa konsènan yon nasyon, oswa konsènan yon wayòm pou dechouke li, pou jete li atè, oswa pou detwi li.
A moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.
8 Men si nasyon sa a ke Mwen te pale a, vin kite mechanste li a, Mwen va vin repanti konsènan gwo twoub ke m te gen entansyon fè rive l la.
And it will turn away the nation that from evil its which I had spoken on it and I will relent on the calamity which I had planned to do to it.
9 Oswa, nan yon lòt moman, Mwen ka pale konsènan yon nasyon, oswa konsènan yon wayòm pou bati li, oswa pou etabli li.
And a moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to build up and to plant.
10 Men si li fè mal nan zye M e pa obeyi vwa M, alò, Mwen va repanti de byen nan ke M te fè pwomès fè yo.
And it will do (the evil *Q(K)*) in view my to not to listen to voice my and I will relent on the good which I had said to do good to it.
11 “Alò, pou sa, pale ak mesye Juda yo, ak moun ki rete Jérusalem yo. Di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen ap prepare gwo malè kont nou, e Mwen ap fòme yon plan kont nou. Vire fè bak, nou chak, soti nan wout mechan li, e korije de zak nou yo.”’
And therefore say please to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh here! I [am] about to fashion on you calamity and [am] about to plan on you a plan turn back please everyone from way his wicked and make good ways your and deeds your.
12 Men yo va di: ‘Sa pa ka fèt! Paske nou ap swiv pwòp plan pa nou, e nou chak va aji selon pwòp panse a kè di nou.’
And they say despairing for after own plans our we will walk and everyone [the] stubbornness of heart his wicked we will act.
13 Akoz sa a, pale SENYÈ a: “Mande, koulye a, pami nasyon yo; se kilès ki konn tande yon koze konsa? Vyèj Israël la te fè yon bagay pi lèd pase tout bagay.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh ask please among the nations who? has he heard like these [things] a horrible [thing] she has done exceedingly [the] virgin of Israel.
14 Èske lanèj Liban konn fè fayit pou l pa kite wòch chan an a? Oswa èske dlo frèt ki koule soti depi lwen va vin sèch?
¿ Does it leave from [the] rock of [the] field [the] snow of Lebanon or? are they plucked up waters strange cool flowing.
15 Paske pèp Mwen an fin bliye Mwen. Yo brile lansan bay dye ki san valè yo. Yo chape tonbe kite chemen yo, soti nan chemen ansyen yo, pou mache nan vye ti wout, men pa sou gran chemen an.
For they have forgotten me people my to falsehood they make smoke and they have caused to stumble them in ways their paths of antiquity to walk paths a way not built up.
16 Y ap fè peyi nou vin yon dega, yon objè moun ap sifle. Tout sila ki pase ladann va etone pou sa e va souke tèt yo.
To make land their into a waste (whistling of *Q(K)*) perpetuity every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may wag with head his.
17 Tankou van lès, Mwen va gaye yo nèt devan lènmi an, Nan jou kalamite yo, Mwen va ba yo do m. Yo p ap wè figi M.
Like a wind of [the] east I will scatter them before an enemy back and not face I will show them on [the] day of disaster their.
18 Konsa yo te di: “Vini! Annou fè konplo kont Jérémie! Anverite, lalwa a p ap pral pèdi de prèt la, ni konsèy a saj yo, ni pawòl sen a pwofèt la! Vini, annou frape li ak kout lang, e pa okipe okenn nan pawòl li yo.”
And people said come so let us plan on Jeremiah plans for not it will be lost instruction from [the] priest and counsel from [the] wise and word from [the] prophet come and let us attack him with the tongue and may not we pay attention to all words his.
19 Koute mwen, SENYÈ e, koute sa ke lènmi m yo ap di!
Be attentive! O Yahweh to me and listen to [the] voice of opponents my.
20 Èske se ak mal ke yon moun dwe rekonpanse pou sa ki bon? Paske se yon fòs yo fin fouye pou mwen. Sonje kijan mwen te kanpe devan Ou, pou pale sa ki bon pou yo menm, pou m ta ka fè kòlè Ou vire kite yo.
¿ Will it be repaid in place of good evil for they have dug a pit for self my remember - standing my before you to speak on them good to turn back rage your from them.
21 Pou sa, livre pitit yo a gwo grangou e livre yo anba pouvwa nepe a. Kite madanm pa yo rete san pitit e vèv. Kite mesye yo tou vin frape a lanmò; e jennonm yo vin frape ak nepe nan batay la.
Therefore give children their to famine and pour them over [the] hands of [the] sword so they may become wives their childless and widows and men their may they be [the] slain of death young men their [those] struck down of [the] sword in battle.
22 Pou yon gwo kri ka tande soti lakay yo lè sibitman, Ou mennen rive yon bann piyajè sou yo; paske yo te fouye yon fòs pou pran mwen, e te kache pèlen pou pye m.
May it be heard a cry of distress from houses their if you will bring on them a marauding band suddenly for they have dug (a pit *Q(K)*) to capture me and snares they have hidden for feet my.
23 Malgre sa, Ou menm, O SENYÈ, Ou konnen tout manèv mòtèl yo kont mwen yo. Pa padone inikite pa yo, ni efase peche yo devan zye Ou. Men kite yo boulvèse nèt jis yo jete nèt devan Ou. Aji avèk yo nan lè kòlè Ou a!
And you O Yahweh you know all plan their on me for death may not you atone on iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not you wipe out (and let them be *Q(K)*) overthrown before you in [the] time of anger your do with them.
