Jeremi 20
1 Lè Paschhur, prèt la, fis a Immer a, ki te chèf ofisye lakay SENYÈ a, te tande Jérémie fè pwofesi sila yo,
When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and the chief official in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,
2 Paschhur te fè yo bat Jérémie, pwofèt la. Li te mete li nan sèp yo ki te kote Pòtay Anwo Benjamin an, ki te nan lakay SENYÈ a.
he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten and put in the stocks at the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
3 Nan pwochen jou a, lè Paschhur te lage Jérémie sòti nan sèp yo, Jérémie te di li: “Paschhur se pa non ke SENYÈ a te bay ou, men pito Magor-Missabib.
The next day, when Pashhur released Jeremiah from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, “The LORD does not call you Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.
4 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va fè ou vin yon gwo laperèz pou pwòp tèt ou, ak tout zanmi ou yo. Pandan zye ou toujou ap gade, yo va tonbe pa nepe lènmi pa yo. Se konsa, mwen va livre tout Juda, pou tonbe nan men a wa Babylone nan. Li va pote yo ale tankou egzile Babylone e li va touye yo ak nepe.
For this is what the LORD says: ‘I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. They will fall by the sword of their enemies before your very eyes. And I will hand Judah over to the king of Babylon, and he will carry them away to Babylon and put them to the sword.
5 Anplis, Mwen va livre tout richès vil sa a, tout pwodwi li yo ak tout bagay koute chè li yo, menm tout trezò a wa a Juda yo, e mwen va livre yo nan men a lènmi yo. Yo va piyaje yo, pote yo ale, e pote yo Babylone.
I will give away all the wealth of this city—all its products and valuables, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah—to their enemies. They will plunder them, seize them, and carry them off to Babylon.
6 Konsa, ou menm, Paschhur, ou menm ak tout sila ki rete lakay ou yo, va ale an kaptivite. Ou va antre nan Babylone. Ou va mouri la, e la, ou va antere; ou menm avèk tout zanmi ou yo ki te bay fo pwofesi yo.’”
And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house, will go into captivity. You will go to Babylon, and there you will die and be buried—you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied these lies.’”
7 O SENYÈ, Ou te mennen m e mwen te mennen; Ou pi fò pase m, e Ou te genyen m. Mwen te vin yon gwo blag tout lajounen; se tout moun k ap moke mwen.
You have deceived me, O LORD, and I was deceived. You have overcome me and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long; everyone mocks me.
8 Paske chak fwa ke m pale, mwen kriye fò; mwen pwoklame vyolans ak destriksyon! Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te fè m resevwa repwòch. Mwen pase nan rizib tout lajounen.
For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.
9 Si mwen di: “Mwen p ap sonje Li ankò, ni pale ankò nan non Li”, alò, anndan kè mwen vin kon yon dife k ap brile ki fèmen nan zo m. Mwen bouke kenbe l anndan m, mwen pa kapab.
If I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.
10 Paske mwen tande detripe nan zòrèy anpil moun: “Danje, danje toupatou! Denonse! Wi, annou denonse li!” Tout zanmi m ke m kon fè konfyans yo, k ap tann pou yo wè lè mwen tonbe, ap di: “Petèt nou ka mennen l, pou nou ka vin enpoze nou sou li e konsa, nou va pran vanjans sou li.”
For I have heard the whispering of many: “Terror is on every side! Report him; let us report him!” All my trusted friends watch for my fall: “Perhaps he will be deceived so that we may prevail against him and take our vengeance upon him.”
11 Men SENYÈ a avè m kon yon ewo fewòs. Akoz sa, pèsekitè mwen yo va tonbe vin fè bak. Yo p ap reyisi. Yo va wont nèt akoz yo fè fayit, ak yon wont ki p ap janm pase, ki p ap janm bliye.
But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
12 Sepandan, O SENYÈ dèzame yo, Ou menm ki sonde moun dwat yo, ki wè panse ak kè a; kite mwen wè vanjans Ou sou yo; paske a Ou menm, mwen te konfye ka m nan.
O LORD of Hosts, who examines the righteous, who sees the heart and mind, let me see Your vengeance upon them, for to You I have committed my cause.
13 Chante a SENYÈ a, louwe SENYÈ a! Paske Li te delivre nanm a malere a soti nan men a malfektè yo.
Sing to the LORD! Praise the LORD! For He rescues the life of the needy from the hands of evildoers.
14 Kite jou ke mwen te fèt la modi; kite jou ke manman m te akouche m nan vin pa beni!
Cursed be the day I was born! May the day my mother bore me never be blessed.
15 Kite nonm ki te mennen nouvèl kote papa m nan, ki te di: “Yon tigason te fèt a ou menm,” e ki te fè l byen kontan an, vin modi.
Cursed be the man who brought my father the news, saying, “A son is born to you,” bringing him great joy.
16 Men kite nonm sa a vin kon gwo vil ke SENYÈ a te kraze nèt san pitye. Kite li tande gwo kri nan granmmaten ak kri “Anmwey” a midi,
May that man be like the cities that the LORD overthrew without compassion. May he hear an outcry in the morning and a battle cry at noon,
17 akoz li pa t touye m avan mwen te fèt, pou manman m ta ka sèvi kon tonbo a pou vant li rete ansent pou tout tan.
because he did not kill me in the womb so that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb forever enlarged.
18 Poukisa mwen te janm sòti nan vant, pou m ta gade twoub ak tristès, pou jou m yo ta pase nan wont?
Why did I come out of the womb to see only trouble and sorrow, and to end my days in shame?
