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 Pashur, the sonne of Immer, the Priest, which was appointed gouernour in the house of the Lord, heard that Ieremiah prophecied 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.
Then Pashur smote Ieremiah the Prophet, and put him in the stockes that were in the hie gate of Beniamin 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.
And on the morning, Pashur brought Ieremiah out of the stockes. Then said Ieremiah vnto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, 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 thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee to be a terrour to thy self, and to al thy friends, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall beholde it, and I will giue all Iudah into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall cary them captiue into Babel, and shall slay them with the sworde.
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.
Moreouer, I will deliuer all the substance of this citie, and all the labours thereof, and al the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the Kings of Iudah will I giue into the hande of their enemies, which shall spoyle them, and take them away and cary them to Babel.
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 thou Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captiuitie, and thou shalt come to Babel, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buryed there, thou and all thy friendes, to whome thou hast prophecied lyes.
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.
O Lord, thou hast deceiued me, and I am deceiued: thou art stronger then I, and hast preuailed: I am in derision daily: euery one mocketh 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 since I spake, I cryed out of wrong, and proclaimed desolation: therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproche vnto me, and in derision daily.
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 speake any more in his Name. But his worde was in mine heart as a burning fire shut vp in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
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 had heard the railing of many, and feare on euery side. Declare, said they, and wee wil declare it: all my familiars watched for mine halting, saying, It may be that he is deceiued: so we shall preuaile against him, and we shall execute our vengeance vpon 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 mightie gyant: therefore my persecuters shall be ouerthrowen, and shall not preuaile, and shalbe greatly confounded: for they haue done vnwisely, and their euerlasting shame shall neuer 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.
But, O Lord of hostes, that tryest the righteous, and seest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened 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 vnto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath deliuered the soule of the poore from the hande 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: and let not the day wherein my mother bare 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 shewed my father, saying, A man child is borne vnto thee, and comforted him.
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,
And let that man be as the cities, which the Lord hath ouerturned and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the showting at noone tide,
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 hath not slaine me, euen from the wombe, or that my mother might haue bene my graue, or her wobe a perpetual conception.
18 Poukisa mwen te janm sòti nan vant, pou m ta gade twoub ak tristès, pou jou m yo ta pase nan wont?
How is it, that I came forth of the wombe, to see labour and sorowe, that my dayes shoulde be consumed with shame?
