Jeremi 2
1 Alò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen epi te di:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Ale e pwoklame nan zòrèy a Jérusalem pou di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mwen sonje de ou, jan ou te renmen M lè ou te jenn; lanmou ou lè ou te fiyanse avè M, jan ou te swiv Mwen nan dezè a, nan yon peyi ki pa t konn simen.
Go and you will proclaim in [the] ears of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh I remember to you [the] covenant loyalty of youth your [the] love of betrothal your walking you after me in the wilderness in a land not sown.
3 Israël te sen a SENYÈ, premye a rekòlt Li a. Tout moun ki te manje de li va vin koupab. Se mal ki va rive yo,’” deklare SENYÈ a.”
[was] a holy thing Israel to Yahweh [the] beginning of (produce his *Q(K)*) all [those who] devour it they will be held guilty calamity it will come to them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
4 Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, O lakay Jacob ak tout fanmi lakay Israël yo.
Hear [the] word of Yahweh O house of Jacob and all [the] clans of [the] house of Israel.
5 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ki enjistis papa zansèt nou yo te jwenn nan Mwen, pou yo te ale lwen Mwen, pou yo te mache dèyè sa ki vid pou te vin vid yo menm?
Thus - he says Yahweh what? did they find ancestors your in me injustice that they became distant from with me and they walked after vanity and they became vain.
6 Yo pa t mande: ‘Kote SENYÈ a ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la, ki te mennen nou nan dezè a, pou travèse yon peyi dezè ak fòs yo, nan yon peyi ak sechrès e ak fon tenèb, yon peyi ke pèsòn pa t konn travèse e kote okenn moun pa t rete?’
And not they said where? [is] Yahweh who brought up us from [the] land of Egypt who led us in the wilderness in a land of desert plain and pit in a land dry and deep darkness in a land [which] not he has passed in it anyone and not he has dwelt anyone there.
7 Mwen te mennen ou antre nan yon peyi fètil pou manje fwi li ak bon bagay li yo. Men nou te vini, e nou te souye peyi Mwen an ak eritaj Mwen an, nou te fè li vin abominab.
And I brought you into [the] land of the orchard to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its and you came and you made unclean land my and inheritance my you made into an abomination.
8 Prèt yo pa t di: ‘Kote SENYÈ a ye?’ Epi sila yo ki te responsab lalwa a pa t rekonèt Mwen. Chèf yo tou te fè transgresyon kont Mwen; pwofèt yo te pwofetize pou Baal, e te mache dèyè bagay ki pa t gen benefis.
The priests not they said where? [is] Yahweh and [those who] handled the law not they knew me and the shepherds they rebelled against me and the prophets they prophesied by Baal and after [things which] not they profited they walked.
9 “Pou sa, jiska prezan, Mwen va fè kont avèk nou”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Menm avèk pitit a pitit nou yo, Mwen va fè kont.
Therefore again I will contend with you [the] utterance of Yahweh and with [the] children of children your I will contend.
10 Alò, travèse rive nan peyi kot yo nan Kittim pou wè; voye Kédar pou obsève e wè si janmen te gen yon bagay konsa!
For pass over [the] coasts of Cyprus and see and Kedar send and consider carefully exceedingly and see there! it has happened like this.
11 Èske yon nasyon janm te chanje dye pa yo, malgre, se pa dye yo te ye? Men pèp Mwen an te fè echanj glwa pa yo pou sa ki san benefis.
¿ Has it exchanged a nation gods and they not [are] gods and people my it has exchanged glory its for [that which] not it profits.
12 Menm syèl yo etonnen, jis yo vin fremi. Reste byen dezole, deklare SENYÈ a.
Be appalled O heaven on this and shudder be desolate exceedingly [the] utterance of Yahweh.
13 Paske pèp Mwen an te komèt de kalite mal: Yo te abandone Mwen, fontèn dlo vivan yo, epi yo te fouye pou kont yo lòt sitèn; sitèn yo ki kraze ki pa ka kenbe dlo.
That two evil things it has done people my me they have forsaken a spring of - water living to dig for themselves cisterns cisterns broken which not they contain water.
14 Èske Israël se yon esklav? Èske li se yon esklav ki te fèt lakay nou? Pou ki rezon li te devni yon kaptif?
¿ A slave [is] Israel or? one born of [the] household [is] it why? has it become plunder.
15 Jenn lyon yo gwonde sou li; ak gwo bri yo leve vwa yo. Yo te fin gate peyi li nèt. Vil li yo brile nèt. Pa gen moun ki pou rete ladann.
On it they have been roaring young lions they have given voice their and they have made land its into a waste cities its (they are burnt *Q(K)*) because not inhabitant.
16 Anplis, mesye Memphis ak Tachpanès yo te brize kouwòn tèt ou a.
Also [the] people of Memphis (and Tahpanhes *Q(k)*) they will graze you scalp.
17 Èske Se pa ou menm ki fè sa lè ou kite SENYÈ Bondye ou a, pandan Li t ap mennen ou nan chemen an?
¿ Not this have you done to yourself by forsaking you Yahweh God your at [the] time of [one who] led you in the way.
18 Men koulye a, se kisa w ap fè nan wout pou rive Égypte la, lè w ale pou bwè dlo nan Rivyè Nil lan? Oswa se kisa w ap fè nan wout pou ale Assyrie a, pou bwè dlo nan flèv pa yo a?
And therefore what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Egypt to drink [the] water of [the] Shihor and what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Assyria to drink [the] water of [the] River.
19 Pwòp mechanste ou va korije ou, e enfidelite ou va repwoche ou. Pou sa, konnen e wè ke se mal e anmè ke ou te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a. Laperèz Mwen pa nan ou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo.
It will punish you wickedness your and apostasies your they will rebuke you and know and see that [is] evil and bitter forsaking you Yahweh God your and not awe of me [is] with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.
20 Paske lontan sa, Mwen te kraze jouk ou a. Mwen te chire kòd mare ou yo. Men ou te di: “Mwen p ap sèvi!’ Paske sou chak kolin ki wo, e anba chak bwa vèt, ou te kouche tankou pwostitiye.
That from long ago I broke off yoke your I tore off fetters your and you said not (I will transgress *Q(K)*) for on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant you [have been] lying down a prostitute.
21 Sepandan, Mwen te plante chan rezen pi chwazi pou ou, yon grenn ki fidèl nèt. Alò kòman konsa ou te vin detounen devan M pou tounen yon boujon ki dejenere nèt sou yon chan rezen etranje?
And I I had planted you a choice vine all of it [was] seed of reliability and how? have you changed yourself to me [the] degenerate [ones] of the vine alien.
22 Malgre se ak savon lesiv ou ta savonnen ak anpil savon, tach inikite ou rete devan M,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
That though you will wash with soda so you may increase for yourself soap [is] stained iniquity your before me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
23 “Kòman ou ka di: ‘Mwen pa sal, Mwen pa t kouri dèyè Baal yo?’ Gade chemen ou nan vale a! Konnen byen sa ou te fè a! Ou se yon jenn femèl chamo byen rapid, k ap fè chemen l kote li pito.
How? will you say not I have made myself unclean after the Baals not I have walked consider conduct your in the valley recognize what? have you done a young camel swift entwining paths its.
24 Yon femèl bourik mawon ki abitye nan savann nan, k ap pran sant van pou lè l bezwen kwaze ak mal. Nan lè chalè li, se kilès ki ka detounen l? Tout moun k ap chache l p ap fatige kò yo; nan mwa li, yo va jwenn ak li.
A wild donkey - accustomed to a wilderness in [the] lust of (self its *Q(K)*) it sniffs [the] wind heat its who? will he turn back it all [those who] seek it not they will grow weary in month its they will find it.
25 Kenbe bon fè sou pye ou e mouye gòj ou pou ou pa swaf; men ou te di: ‘Sa p ap ka fèt, Non! Paske mwen te fè renmen ak etranje yo; se dèyè yo m ap prale.’
Restrain foot your from barefoot (and throat your *Q(K)*) from thirst and you said despairing In-deed I love strange [gods] and after them I will walk.
26 Tankou vòlè vin wont lè l vin dekouvri, se konsa lakay Israël vin wont— wa yo, prens yo, ak prèt yo ak pwofèt yo!
Like [the] shame of a thief if he is found so they have been put to shame [the] house of Israel they kings their officials their and priests their and prophets their.
27 kap di pyebwa a: ‘Se ou ki papa mwen’, epi a yon wòch: ‘Se ou ki fè mwen.’ Paske yo te vire do ban Mwen olye figi yo; men nan tan gwo pwoblèm yo, yo va di Mwen: ‘Leve pou sove nou.’
[who] say To wood [are] father my you and to stone you (you gave birth to us *Q(K)*) for they have turned to me a back and not a face and at [the] time of calamity their they will say arise! and save us.
28 Men kote dye ke ou te fè pou kont ou yo ye? Kite yo leve, si yo ka sove ou nan tan twoub ou yo; paske selon fòs kantite vil ou yo, kantite dye ou ye, O Juda.
And where? [are] gods your which you made for yourself let them arise if they will save you at [the] time of calamity your for [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah.
29 Poukisa ou fè kont avè M? Nou tout te fè transgresyon kont Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Why? do you contend against me all of you you have rebelled against me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
30 “Anven Mwen te frape fis ou yo; men yo pa t aksepte okenn chatiman. Nepe ou te fin devore pwofèt ou yo tankou lyon k ap detwi.
For vanity I struck sons your correction not they accepted it devoured sword your prophets your like a lion destroying.
31 O jenerasyon, koute byen a pawòl SENYÈ a. Èske Mwen te yon dezè pou Israël, oswa yon peyi fènwa byen pwès? Poukisa pèp Mwen an di: ‘Nou lib pou nou gaye toupatou. Nou p ap vin kote Ou ankò?’
O generation you consider [the] word of Yahweh ¿ a wilderness have I been to Israel or? a land of darkness why? have they said people my we have roamed not we will come again to you.
32 Èske vyèj la ka bliye dekorasyon li yo, oswa fi maryaj la, vètman li an? Sepandan, pèp Mwen an fin bliye Mwen pandan jou ki pa ka menm konte.
¿ Will she forget a virgin ornament[s] her a bride sashes her and people my they have forgotten me days there not [is] number.
33 A la byen ou prepare chemen ou pou chache lanmou! Konsa, menm fanm mechan yo, ou te enstwi nan chemen ou yo.
How! you make good way your to seek love therefore also wicked women (you have taught *Q(K)*) ways your.
34 Anplis, sou jip ou, yo twouve san lavi a malere ki inosan yo. Ou pa t jwenn yo t ap kase kay ou. Men se akoz tout bagay sa yo,
Also on skirts your they were found [the] blood of [the] lives of needy [people] innocent not in breaking in you found them for on all these [things].
35 Sepandan, ou te di: ‘Mwen inosan. Asireman, kòlè Li pa sou mwen.’ Gade byen, Mwen va antre nan jijman avèk ou, paske ou di: ‘Mwen pa t peche.’
And you said that I am innocent surely it has turned back anger his from me here I [am] about to enter into judgment with with you because saying you not I have sinned.
36 Poukisa ou mache toupatou konsa nan chanje wout ou? Anplis, Égypte va fè ou wont, menm jan ke Assyrie te fè ou wont lan.
Why? do you treat lightly exceedingly to change way your also from Egypt you will be ashamed just as you were ashamed from Assyria.
37 Soti kote sa a tou, ou va sòti ak men ou sou tèt; paske SENYÈ a te rejte sila ke ou te fè konfyans yo e ou p ap jwenn avantaj avèk yo.”
Also from with this [one] you will go out and hands your [will be] on head your for he has rejected Yahweh objects of confidence your and not you will prosper to them.
