< Jeremi 23 >

1 “Malè a bèje k ap detwi e gaye mouton patiraj Mwen yo!” deklare SENYÈ a.
Woe to! [the] shepherds [who] are causing to stray and [who are] scattering [the] flock of pasture my [the] utterance of Yahweh.
2 Akoz sa, pale SENYÈ Bondye Israël la konsènan bèje k ap fè gadyen pèp Mwen yo: “Nou fin gaye bann mouton Mwen, chase yo ale, e nou pa t okipe yo. Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou regle nou pou mechanste a zak nou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel on the shepherds who are shepherding people my you you have scattered flock my and you have driven away them and not you have paid attention to them here I [am] about to visit on you [the] wickedness of deeds your [the] utterance of Yahweh.
3 “Epi konsa, Mwen va rasanble retay bann mouton Mwen an soti nan tout peyi ke m te pouse yo ale yo, e mennen yo retounen nan pa yo. Yo va vin bay fwi e peple anpil.
And I I will gather together [the] remnant of flock my from all the lands where I have banished them there and I will bring back them to pasture their and they will be fruitful and they will increase.
4 Anplis, Mwen va leve bèje sou yo e yo va okipe yo. Konsa, yo p ap pè ankò, ni plen ak laperèz ni okenn moun p ap manke,” deklare SENYÈ a.
And I will raise up over them shepherds and they will shepherd them and not they will be afraid again and not they will be terrified and not they will be missing [the] utterance of Yahweh.
5 “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “lè Mwen va fè leve pou lakay David, yon branch plen ladwati. Li va renye kon wa, aji ak sajès e fè jistis ak ladwati nan peyi a.
Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will raise up for David a branch righteous and he will reign a king and he will act prudently and he will do justice and righteousness in the land.
6 Nan jou Li yo, Juda va sove, e Israël va rete ansekirite. Men non pa sila yo va rele Li a: ‘SENYÈ a, Ladwati Nou an.’”
In days his it will be saved Judah and Israel it will dwell to security and this [will be] name his which anyone will call him Yahweh - [is] righteousness our.
7 “Akoz sa, gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “lè yo p ap di ankò: ‘Kon SENYÈ a viv ki te mennen fè monte fis Israël yo soti nan peyi Égypte;’
Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and not people will say again [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt.
8 men: ‘Kon SENYÈ a viv, ki te mennen e fè retounen desandan lakay Israël yo soti nan peyi nò a e soti nan tout peyi kote mwen te chase yo ale yo.’ Konsa, yo va viv sou pwòp tèren pa yo.”
That except [by] [the] life of Yahweh who he brought up and who he brought [the] offspring of [the] house of Israel from a land north-ward and from all the lands where I banished them there and they will dwell on own land their.
9 Epi pou pwofèt yo: kè m fin kase anndan m. Tout zo m yo tranble; Mwen vin kon yon moun sou, menm yon moun ki soumèt anba gwòg, akoz SENYÈ a, e akoz pawòl sen Li yo.
Of the prophets it is broken heart my in inner being my they have become weak all bones my I have become like a person drunken and like a man [whom] it has passed over him wine because of Yahweh and because of [the] words of holiness his.
10 “Paske peyi a plen ak adiltè; paske akoz madichon, peyi a ap kriye. Patiraj nan savann yo fin seche. Y ap kouri nan move chemen e pwisans yo pa pou sa ki dwat.
For adulterers it is full the land for because of a curse it has dried up the land they have become dry [the] pastures of [the] wilderness and it has become course [of life] their evil and strength their [is] not right.
11 Ni pwofèt ni prèt yo vin pouri nèt. Menm anndan lakay Mwen an, Mwen jwenn mechanste yo”, deklare SENYÈ a.
For both prophet as well as priest they are polluted also in house my I have found wickedness their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
12 Akoz sa, chemen pa yo va yon wout ki glise nan tenèb la; yo va vin chase jis rive nan fènwa e vin glise tonbe ladann; paske Mwen va mennen gwo kalamite sou yo nan ane règleman yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Therefore it will become path their for them like slippery places in the darkness they will be pushed down and they will fall on it for I will bring on them calamity [the] year of punishment their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
13 “Anplis, pami pwofèt Samarie yo, Mwen te wè yon betiz. Yo te pwofetize pa Baal e yo te egare pèp Mwen an, Israël.
And among [the] prophets of Samaria I saw offensiveness they prophesied by Baal and they caused to err people my Israel.
14 Osi, pami pwofèt Jérusalem yo, Mwen te wè yon move bagay: Zak adiltè, e yo mache nan sa ki fo. Yo ranfòse men a malfektè yo, pou okenn moun pa vire kite mechanste li. Yo tout vin pou Mwen tankou Sodome e abitan li yo kon Gomorrhe.
And among [the] prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible [thing] they have committed adultery and they have walked in falsehood and they have strengthened [the] hands of evil-doers to not they have turned away anyone from evil his they have become to me all of them like Sodom and inhabitants its like Gomorrah.
15 Akoz sa, pale SENYÈ dèzame yo konsènan pwofèt yo: “Gade byen, Mwen ap bay yo manje bwa lanmè e fè yo bwè dlo anpwazone; paske soti nan pwofèt Jérusalem yo, tout kalite pouriti gaye nan tout peyi a.”
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts on the prophets here I [am] about to make eat them wormwood and I will make drink them water of poison for from with [the] prophets of Jerusalem it has gone out wicked behavior to all the land.
16 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Pa koute pawòl a pwofèt k ap fè pwofesi devan nou yo. Y ap mennen nou nan bagay ki pou ryen. Yo pale yon vizyon ki sòti nan pwòp imajinasyon pa yo, men pa nan bouch SENYÈ a.
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts may not you listen to [the] words of the prophets who are prophesying to you [are] deluding they you [the] vision of own heart their they speak not from [the] mouth of Yahweh.
17 Yo kontinye di a sila k ap meprize Mwen yo, ‘SENYÈ a te di: “Nou va gen lapè”’” e pou tout sila k ap mache nan pwòp tèt di yo, yo di: “Malè p ap rive nou.”
[they are] saying Continually to [those who] despise me he says Yahweh peace it will belong to you and every [one who] walks in [the] stubbornness of own heart his they have said not it will come on you calamity.
18 Men se kilès ki te kanpe nan konsèy a SENYÈ a, pou l ta wè e tande pawòl li? Kilès ki te prete atansyon a pawòl Mwen, e te koute l?
For who? has he stood in [the] council of Yahweh so he may see and he may hear word his who? has he paid attention to (word his *Q(K)*) and has he listened?
19 Gade byen, tanpèt SENYÈ a deja sòti ak gwo kòlè li. Tankou yon toubiyon k ap vire touwon, li va vire desann sou tèt a mechan an.
There! - [the] storm of Yahweh rage it has gone out and a storm whirling on [the] head of wicked [people] it will whirl about.
20 Kòlè SENYÈ a p ap vire fè bak jiskaske Li fin fèt pou l acheve tout volonte a kè li yo. Nan dènye jou yo, nou va konprann sa byen klè.
Not it will turn back [the] anger of Yahweh until has brought about he and until has carried out he [the] purposes of heart his at [the] end of the days you will understand it understanding.
21 Mwen pa t voye pwofèt sila yo, men yo te kouri. Mwen pa t pale ak yo, men yo te fè pwofesi.
Not I sent the prophets and they they ran not I spoke to them and they they prophesied.
22 Men si yo te konn kanpe nan konsèy Mwen an; alò, yo t ap anonse pawòl Mwen yo a pèp Mwen an pou fè yo vire fè bak kite wout mechan yo, ak mechanste a zak pa yo.
And if they had stood in council my so they may cause to hear words my people my and they will turn back them from way their wicked and from [the] wickedness of deeds their.
23 “Èske Mwen se pa yon Bondye ki toupre?” deklare SENYÈ a: “E ki pa yon Bondye ki lwen?
¿ A God from near [am] I [the] utterance of Yahweh and not a God from a distance.
24 Èske yon nonm ka kache kò l yon kote kachèt pou M pa wè l?” deklare SENYÈ a? “Èske Mwen pa ranpli syèl yo ak tè a?” deklare SENYÈ a?”
Or? will he hide himself anyone in hiding places and I not I will see him [the] utterance of Yahweh ¿ not the heavens and the earth [am] I filling [the] utterance of Yahweh.
25 “Mwen te tande sa pwofèt ki fè fo pwofesi nan non Mwen yo te di. Y ap di: ‘Mwen te fè yon rèv, mwen te fè yon rèv!’
I have heard [that] which they have said the prophets who prophesy in name my falsehood saying I have dreamed I have dreamed.
26 Pou konbyen de tan? Èske gen yon bagay nan kè pwofèt ki fè fo pwofesi yo, menm pwofèt sila ki twonpe pwòp kè yo?
Until when? ¿ [is] there in [the] heart of the prophets [who] prophesy falsehood and [the] prophets of [the] deceitfulness of own heart their.
27 Yo gen entansyon fè pèp Mwen an bliye non Mwen ak rèv ke yo repete youn ak lòt yo, menm jan ke papa zansèt yo te bliye non M akoz Baal?
Who plan to make forget people my name my by dreams their which they recount each to neighbor his just as they forgot ancestors their name my for Baal.
28 Pwofèt ki fè rèv la, kite li repete rèv li a. Epi sila ki gen pawòl pa M, kite l pale pawòl pa M nan ak verite. Kisa gen nan pay ki sanble ak sereyal?
The prophet whom [is] with him a dream let him recount [the] dream and whom word my [is] with him let him speak word my faithfulness what? [belongs] to the straw with the grain [the] utterance of Yahweh.
29 Èske pawòl Mwen pa tankou yon dife?” deklare SENYÈ a: “Èske li pa tankou yon mato ki kraze fann wòch?”
¿ Not thus [is] word my like fire [the] utterance of Yahweh and like a hammer [which] it shatters rock.
30 Pou sa, gade byen, “Mwen kont pwofèt yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Ki vòlè pawòl Mwen yo soti nan youn lòt.”
Therefore here I [am] on the prophets [the] utterance of Yahweh [who] steal words my each from with neighbor his.
31 “Gade byen, Mwen kont pwofèt yo”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Ki sèvi lang yo pou deklare, ‘SENYÈ a deklare’.
Here I [am] on the prophets [the] utterance of Yahweh who take tongue their and they have uttered an utterance.
32 Gade byen, Mwen kont sila ki te fè pwofesi fo rèv” deklare SENYÈ a: “E ki te repete yo pou egare pèp Mwen yo ak manti yo, ak ògèy san kontwòl yo, malgre se pa Mwen ki te voye yo, ni kòmande yo. Ni yo pa founi okenn benefis pou pèp sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a.
Here I [am] on [those who] prophesy dreams of falsehood [the] utterance of Yahweh and they have recounted them and they caused to err people my by falsehoods their and by recklessness their and I not I sent them and not I appointed them and certainly not they benefit the people this [the] utterance of Yahweh.
33 “Alò, lè pèp sa a, pwofèt la oswa prèt la mande ou pou di: ‘Se kilès ki pòt pawòl SENYÈ a?’ Alò, ou va reponn yo: ‘Ki pòt pawòl sa a?’ “Mwen va retire jete nou” deklare SENYÈ a’.
And if it will ask you the people this or the prophet or a priest saying what? [is] [the] burden of Yahweh and you will say to them what? burden and I will abandon you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
34 Epi pou pwofèt la, prèt la oswa pèp la ki di: ‘Pòt pawòl SENYÈ a’, Mwen va mennen pinisyon sou moun sila a ak lakay li.
And the prophet and the priest and the people who he will say [the] burden of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on the person that and on house his.
35 Konsa nou chak va di a vwazen li, ak frè li: ‘Se ki repons SENYÈ a te bay’, oswa ‘se ak kilès SENYÈ a te pale?’
Thus you will say each to neighbor his and each to brother his what? did he answer Yahweh and what? did he say Yahweh.
36 Paske nou p ap sonje pwofesi SENYÈ a ankò, akoz pawòl a chak moun va devni pwop mesaj li. Konsa nou fin tòde pawòl a SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye nou an.
And [the] burden of Yahweh not you will remember again for the burden it is for a person own word his and you change [the] words of God living Yahweh of hosts God our.
37 Pou sa a, nou va di a pwofèt sa a: ‘Ki repons SENYÈ a te bannou?’ epi ‘Kisa SENYÈ a te di’?
Thus you will say to the prophet what? did he answer you Yahweh and what? did he say Yahweh.
38 Akoz nou di: ‘Pwofesi SENYÈ a,’ anverite, konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz nou sèvi pawòl sila a, “pwofesi SENYÈ a,” Mwen ap voye kote nou pou di: “Nou pa pou di ‘Pwofesi SENYÈ a!”’
And if [the] burden of Yahweh you will say therefore thus he says Yahweh because have spoken you the word this [the] burden of Yahweh and I sent to you saying not you must say [the] burden of Yahweh.
39 Akoz sa, gade byen, Mwen va, anverite, bliye nou e jete nou lwen prezans Mwen, ansanm ak vil ke M te bannou ak papa zansèt nou yo.
Therefore here [am] I and I will surely you lift up and I will abandon you and the city which I gave to you and to ancestors your from on face my.
40 Mwen va fè poze yon repwòch ki p ap janm sòti sou nou, ak yon imilyasyon ki p ap janm bliye.”
And I will put on you a reproach of perpetuity and shame of perpetuity which not it will be forgotten.
