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,
Now Phassur the son of Emmur, the priest, who was appointed chief in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.
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.
And Phassur struck Jeremias the prophet, and put him in the stocks, that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, in 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.
And when it was light the next day, Phassur brought Jeremias out of the stocks. And Jeremias said to him: The Lord hath not called thy name Phassur, but fear on every side.
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 thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver thee up to fear, thee and all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thy eyes shall see it, and I will give all Juda into the hand of the king of Babylon: and he shall strike them with 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.
And I will give all the substance of this city, and all its labour, and every precious thing thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Juda will I give into the hands of their enemies: and they shall pillage them, and take them away, and carry them 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.’”
But thou, Phassur, and all that dwell in thy house, shall go into captivity, and thou shalt go to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied a lie.
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.
Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all scoff at 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 I am speaking now this long time, crying out against iniquity, and I often proclaim devastation: and the word of the Lord is made a reproach to me, and a derision all the day.
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.
Then I said: I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: and there came in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was wearied, not being able to bear it.
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 heard the reproaches of many, and terror on every side: Persecute him, and let us persecute him: from all the men that were my familiars, and continued at my side: if by any means he may be deceived, and we may prevail against him, and be revenged on 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 as a strong warrior: therefore they that persecute me shall fall, and shall be weak: they shall be greatly confounded, because they have not understood the everlasting reproach, which never shall be effaced.
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.
And thou, O Lord of hosts, prover of the just, who seest the reins and the heart: let me see, I beseech thee, thy vengeance on them: for to thee I have laid open 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 ye to the Lord, praise the Lord: because he hath delivered the soul of the poor out of the hand of the wicked.
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 wherein I was borne: let not the day in which my mother bore me, 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 that brought the tidings to my father, saying: A man child is born to thee: and made him greatly rejoice.
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,
Let that man be as the cities that the Lord hath overthrown, and hath not repented: let him hear a cry in the morning, and howling at noontide:
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.
Who slew me not from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb an everlasting conception.
18 Poukisa mwen te janm sòti nan vant, pou m ta gade twoub ak tristès, pou jou m yo ta pase nan wont?
Why came I out of the womb, to see labour and sorrow, and that my days should be spent in confusion?
