Jeremi 19
1 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ale achte yon po kanari nan men mèt krich la. Pran kèk nan ansyen a pèp yo, ak kèk nan prèt prensipal yo.
Then said the Lord to me, Go and get an earthen bottle, the work of the potter, and thou shalt bring [some] of the elders of the people, and of the priests;
2 Konsa, ale deyò nan vale Ben-Hinnom nan, ki akote antre pòtay kanari kraze a, e la pwoklame pawòl ke M pale ou yo.
and thou shalt go forth to the burial-place of the sons of their children, which is at the entrance of the gate of Charsith; and do thou read there all these words which I shall speak to thee:
3 Di: ‘Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, O wa Juda yo ak moun ki rete Jérusalem yo: konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou mennen gwo malè sou plas sa a, k ap fè zòrèy a tout moun ki tande yo vin toudi.
and thou shalt say to them, Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye kings of Juda, and men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and they that enter in by these gates; thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] bring evil upon this place, so that the ears of every one that hears it shall tingle.
4 Akoz yo te abandone Mwen, yo te fè plas sa a vin pa pwòp, e yo te brile sakrifis nan li bay lòt dye, ke ni yo menm, ni papa zansèt yo, ni wa a Juda yo pa t janm konnen—epi akoz yo te plen plas sa a ak san a inosan yo,
Because they forsook me, and profaned this place, and burnt incense in it to strange gods, which they and their fathers knew not; and the kings of Juda have filled this place with innocent blood,
5 akoz yo te bati wo plas a Baal yo pou brile pwòp fis pa yo nan dife kon ofrann brile a Baal yo, yon bagay ke Mwen pa t janm kòmande, ni pale, ni li pa t janm antre nan tèt Mwen.’
and built high places for Baal, to burn their children in the fire, which things I commanded not, neither did I design [them] in my heart:
6 Akoz tout sa a, gade byen, jou yo ap vini,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou plas sa a pa rele ‘Topheth’ ankò, oswa ‘Vale Ben-Hinnom’ nan; men pito, ‘Vale a Gwo Masak’ la.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when this place shall no more be called, The fall and burial-place of the son of Ennom, but, The burial-place of slaughter.
7 “‘“Mwen va fè nil tout konsèy Juda ak Jérusalem nan plas sa a. Mwen va fè yo tonbe pa nepe devan lènmi yo, e pa men a sila k ap chache lavi yo. Konsa, Mwen va bay kadav yo pou manje a zwazo syèl yo, ak bèt sovaj latè yo.
And I will destroy the counsel of Juda and the counsel of Jerusalem in this place; and I will cast them down with the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the sky and to the wild beasts of the earth.
8 Anplis, Mwen va fè vil sa a yon dega, yon objè degoutan k ap fè moun soufle anlè kon koulèv. Tout moun ki pase akote li va vin etone, e sifle anlè akoz tout dezas li yo.
And I will bring this city to desolation and [make it] a hissing; every one that passes by it shall scowl, and hiss because of all her plague.
9 Mwen va fè yo manje chè pwòp fis pa yo ak fi pa yo. Yo va manje chè youn lòt nan syèj la, ak nan gwo twoub avèk sila lènmi pa yo, ak sila k ap chache lavi yo va twouble yo.”’
And they shall eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his neighbour in the blockade, and in the siege wherewith their enemies shall besiege them.
10 “Nan moman sa a, ou gen pou kraze kanari a devan zye a tout moun ki akonpanye ou.
And thou shalt break the bottle in the sight of the men that go forth with thee,
11 Epi di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Se konsa Mwen va kraze pèp sa a ak vil sa a, jis jan ke yon moun kraze yon po kanari, pou l pa ka repare ankò. Yo va antere Topheth, jis lè pa gen plas pou antere ankò.
and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord, Thus will I break in pieces this people, and this city, even as an earthen vessel is broken in pieces which cannot be mended again.
12 Se konsa, mwen va trete plas sa a ak moun ki rete ladann yo,” deklare SENYÈ a, “pou fè vil sa a tankou Topheth.
Thus will I do, saith the Lord, to this place, and to the inhabitants of it, that this city may be given up, as one that is falling to ruin.
13 Lakay Juda ak lakay a wa Juda yo va vin souye kon Topheth, akoz anwo twati a tout kay yo te brile sakrifis a tout lame syèl yo, e te vide bwason kon ofrann a lòt dye yo.”’”
And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Juda shall be as a ruinous place, because of their uncleannesses in all the houses, wherein they burnt incense upon their roofs to all the host of heaven, and poured drink-offerings to strange gods.
14 Konsa, Jérémie te sòti Topheth, kote SENYÈ a te voye l pwofetize a. Li te kanpe nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a e te di a tout pèp la:
And Jeremias came from [the place] of the Fall, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord's house: and said to all the people, Thus saith the Lord;
15 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou mennen sou vil sila a ak tout bouk li yo tout gwo twoub ke M te deklare kont li yo, akoz yo te fè tèt yo di pou pa koute pawòl Mwen yo.’”
Behold I bring upon this city, and upon all the cities belonging to it, and upon the villages of it, all the evils which I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their neck, [that they might not] hearken to my commands.
