Jeremi 23
1 “Malè a bèje k ap detwi e gaye mouton patiraj Mwen yo!” deklare SENYÈ a.
Wo to the scheepherdis, that scateren and to-drawen the floc of my lesewe, seith the Lord.
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.
Therfor the Lord God of Israel seith these thingis to the scheepherdis, that feeden my puple, Ye han scaterid my floc, and han cast hem out, and han not visitid hem; lo! Y schal visite on you the malice of youre studies, seith the Lord.
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 Y schal gadere togidere the remenauntis of my floc fro alle londis, to whiche Y schal caste hem out thidur; and Y schal turne hem to her feeldis, and thei schulen encreesse, and schulen be multiplied.
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 Y schal reise schepherdis on hem, and thei schulen feede hem; thei schulen no more drede, and schulen not be aferd; and noon schal be souyt of the noumbre seith the Lord.
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.
Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal reise a iust buriownyng to Dauid; and he schal regne a kyng, and he schal be wijs, and he schal make doom and riytfulnesse in erthe.
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 tho daies Juda schal be sauid, and Israel schal dwelle tristili; and this is the name which thei schulen clepe hym, The Lord oure riytful.
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;’
For this thing lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and thei schulen no more seie, The Lord lyueth, that ledde the sones of Israel out of the lond of Egipt;
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.”
but, The Lord lyueth, that ledde out, and brouyte the seed of the hous of Israel fro the lond of the north, and fro alle londis to whiche Y hadde cast hem out thidur; and thei schulen dwelle in her lond.
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.
To the prophetis; Myn herte is contrit in the myddis of me, alle my boonys trembliden togidere; Y am maad as a man drunkun, and as a man weet of wyn, of the face of the Lord, and of the face of the hooli wordis of hym;
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 the lond is fillid with auowteris. For the erthe mourenede of the face of cursyng; the feeldis of desert ben maad drie, the cours of hem is maad yuel, and her strengthe is vnlijk.
11 Ni pwofèt ni prèt yo vin pouri nèt. Menm anndan lakay Mwen an, Mwen jwenn mechanste yo”, deklare SENYÈ a.
For whi the profete and the prest ben defoulid; and in myn hous, seith the Lord, Y foond the yuel of hem.
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.
Therfor the weie of hem schal be as slidur in derknessis, for thei schulen be hurtlid, and schulen falle doun therynne; for Y schal bringe on hem yuels, the yeer of visitacioun of hem, seith the Lord.
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 in the profetis of Samarie Y siy fonnednesse, and thei profesieden in Baal, and disseyueden my puple 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 in the profetis of Jerusalem Y siy licnesse, auoutrie, and the weie of leesyng; and thei confortiden the hondis of the worste men, that ech man schulde not conuerte fro his malice; alle thei ben maad as Sodom to me, and alle the dwellers therof `ben maad as Gommorre.
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.”
Therfor the Lord of oostis seith these thingis to the prophetis, Lo! Y schal feed hem with wermod, and Y schal yyue drynke to hem with galle; for whi defoulyng is goen out of the profetis of Jerusalem on al the lond.
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.
The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Nyle ye here the wordis of profetis, that profesien to you, and disseyuen you; thei speken the visioun of her herte, not of the mouth of the Lord.
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.”
Thei seien to hem that blasfemen me, The Lord spak, Pees schal be to you; and thei seiden to ech man that goith in the schrewidnesse of his herte, Yuel schal not come on you.
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 whi who is present in the councel of the Lord, and siy, and herde his word? who bihelde, and herde the word of hym?
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.
Lo! the whirlewynd of the Lordis indignacioun schal go out, and tempest brekynge schal come on the heed of wickid men.
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.
The strong veniaunce of the Lord schal not turne ayen, til that he do, and til that he fille the thouyt of his herte. In the laste daies ye schulen vndurstonde the councel of hym.
21 Mwen pa t voye pwofèt sila yo, men yo te kouri. Mwen pa t pale ak yo, men yo te fè pwofesi.
Y sente not the profetis, and thei runnen; Y spak not to hem, and thei profesieden.
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.
If thei hadden stonde in my councel, and hadde maad knowun my wordis to my puple, forsothe Y hadde turned hem awei fro her yuel weie, and fro her worste thouytis.
23 “Èske Mwen se pa yon Bondye ki toupre?” deklare SENYÈ a: “E ki pa yon Bondye ki lwen?
Gessist thou, whether Y am God of niy, seith the Lord, and not God afer?
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?”
A man schal not be priuy in hid places, and Y schal not se hym, seith the Lord. Whether Y fille not heuene and erthe? seith the Lord.
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!’
Y herde what thingis the profetis seiden, profesiynge a leesyng in my name, and seiynge, Y dremede dremes.
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?
Hou longe is this thing in the herte of profetis, profesiynge a leesyng, and profesiynge the disseite of her herte?
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?
Whiche wolen make, that my puple foryete my name for the dremes of hem, which ech man tellith to his neiybore, as the fadris of hem foryaten my name 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?
A profete that hath a dreme, telle a dreem; and he that hath my word, speke verili my word. What is with chaffis to the wheete? seith the Lord.
29 Èske pawòl Mwen pa tankou yon dife?” deklare SENYÈ a: “Èske li pa tankou yon mato ki kraze fann wòch?”
Whether my wordis ben not as fier brennynge, seith the Lord, and as an hamer al to-brekynge a stoon?
30 Pou sa, gade byen, “Mwen kont pwofèt yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Ki vòlè pawòl Mwen yo soti nan youn lòt.”
Therfor lo! Y am redi to the profetis, seith the Lord, that stelen my wordis, ech man fro his neiybore.
31 “Gade byen, Mwen kont pwofèt yo”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Ki sèvi lang yo pou deklare, ‘SENYÈ a deklare’.
Lo! Y to the profetis, seith the Lord, that taken her tungis, and seien, The Lord seith.
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.
Lo! Y to the profetis, dremynge a leesyng, seith the Lord; which telden tho, and disseyueden my puple in her leesyng, and in her myraclis, whanne Y hadde not sente hem, nether hadde comaundide to hem; whiche profitiden no thing to this puple, seith the Lord.
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’.
Therfor if this puple, ether profete, ether prest, axith thee, and seith, What is the birthun of the Lord? thou schalt seie to hem, Ye ben the birthun, for Y schal caste you awei, seith the Lord;
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 a profete, and a prest, and the puple, that seith, The birthun of the Lord, Y schal visite on that man, and on his hous.
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?’
Ye schulen seie these thingis, ech man to his neiybore, and to his brother, What answeride the Lord? and what spak the Lord?
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.
For the birthun of the Lord schal no more be remembrid, and the word of ech man schal be birthun to hym; and ye han peruertid the wordis of lyuynge God, of the Lord of oostis, youre God.
37 Pou sa a, nou va di a pwofèt sa a: ‘Ki repons SENYÈ a te bannou?’ epi ‘Kisa SENYÈ a te di’?
Thou schalt seie these thingis to the profete, What answeride the Lord to thee? and what spak the Lord?
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!”’
Forsothe if ye seien, The birthin of the Lord, for this thing the Lord seith these thingis, For ye seiden this word, The birthun of the Lord, and Y sente to you, and Y seide, Nyle ye seie, The birthun of the Lord; therfor lo!
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.
Y schal take you awei, and schal bere, and Y schal forsake you, and the citee which Y yaf to you, and to youre fadris, fro my face.
40 Mwen va fè poze yon repwòch ki p ap janm sòti sou nou, ak yon imilyasyon ki p ap janm bliye.”
And Y schal yyue you in to euerlastynge schenschipe, and in to euerlastynge sclaundir, that schal neuere be doon awei bi foryetyng.
