Jeremiah 20
1 And Pashhur, the son of Immer, the priest who had been appointed leader in the house of the Lord, heard Jeremiah prophesying these words.
Pachou, pitit gason Imè a, te tande Jeremi t'ap di tout bagay sa yo. Pachou te yon prèt ki te chèf reskonsab Tanp Seyè a.
2 And Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah, and he sent him to the stocks, which were at the upper gate of Benjamin at the house of the Lord.
Li fè yo bat Jeremi, lèfini li mete l' nan sèp ki te bò gwo Pòtay Benjamen an nan Tanp Seyè a.
3 And when it had become light on the next day, Pashhur led Jeremiah from the stocks. And Jeremiah said to him: “The Lord has not called your name: ‘Pashhur,’ but instead: ‘Fear all around.’”
Nan denmen maten, Pachou fè yo wete Jeremi nan sèp la. Lè sa a, Jeremi di l' konsa: -Seyè a chanje non ou. Li pa rele ou Pachou ankò. Li menm li rele ou: Malè toupatou.
4 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will give you over to fear, you and all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it. And I will give all of Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon. And he will lead them away to Babylon, and he will strike them with the sword.
Se Seyè a menm ki di sa: Mwen pral fè ou tounen yon malè pou ou menm ak pou tout zanmi ou yo. Ou pral wè yo mouri anba nepe lènmi yo. Mwen pral lage tout moun peyi Jida yo nan men wa lavil Babilòn lan. L'ap pran yon pati ladan yo, l'ap fè yo prizonye, l'ap depòte yo lavil Babilòn, l'ap touye lòt yo.
5 And I will give away the entire substance of this city, and all its labor, and every precious thing. And I will give all the treasures of the kings of Judah into the hands of their enemies. And they will plunder them, and take them away, and lead them into Babylon.
M'ap fè lènmi yo piye tout richès ki nan lavil la, tou sa moun yo travay fè, tout bèl bagay koute chè yo sere, ata trezò wa Jida yo. M'ap lage tou sa nan men lènmi yo. Yo pral piye yo, y'ap pran tou sa yo genyen pote ale lavil Babilòn.
6 But you, Pashhur, and all the inhabitants of your house, will go into captivity. And you will go to Babylon. And there you shall die. And there you shall be buried, you and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied a lie.”
Ou menm menm, Pachou, y'ap fè ou prizonye ansanm ak tout moun lakay ou yo, y'ap depòte nou lavil Babilòn. Se la w'a mouri, se la y'a antere ou ansanm ak tout zanmi ou yo ki t'ap koute mesaj manti ou t'ap bay yo.
7 “You have led me away, O Lord, and I have been led away. You have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I have become a derision all day long; everyone mocks me.
Seyè, ou pran tèt mwen, wi, mwen kite ou pran tèt mwen. Ou pi fò pase m'. Se ou ki genyen. Tout lajounen moun ap ri m'. Yo tout ap pase m' nan rizib.
8 For I speak now as I have long spoken: crying out against iniquity and proclaiming devastation. And the word of the Lord has been made into a reproach against me and a derision, all day long.
Chak fwa pou m' pale se rele pou m' rele. M'ap di byen fò: Men y'ap kraze brize! Men y'ap piye! Paske lè m'ap fè konnen mesaj ou, y'ap fè m' wont, y'ap pase m' nan betiz.
9 Then I said: I will not call him to mind, nor will I speak any longer in his name. And my heart became like a raging fire, enclosed within my bones. And I became weary of continuing to bear it.
Men, lè m' di: Mwen p'ap nonmen non Seyè a, mwen p'ap pale nan non l' ankò, mesaj ou yo te tankou yon dife nan zo m' k'ap boule tout anndan m'. Mwen fè sa m' kapab pou enpoze l' soti. Malgre sa, li soti soti l'.
10 For I heard the insults of many, and terror all around: ‘Persecute him!’ and, ‘Let us persecute him!’ from all the men who had been at peace with me and who had kept watch by my side. ‘If only there were some way that he might be deceived, and we might prevail against him and obtain vengeance from him!’
Mwen tande tout moun ap di: -Any! Kote moun pase yo pè! Annou denonse l' bay otorite yo. Ata pi bon zanmi m' yo ap tann konsa mwen fè yon fo pa. Y'ap di: Nou ka pran pawòl nan bouch li pou antrave l'. Lè sa a, n'a met men sou li, n'a tire revanj nou.
11 But the Lord is with me, like a strong warrior. For this reason, those who persecute me will fall, and they will be ineffective. They will be greatly confounded. For they have not understood the everlasting disgrace that will never be wiped away.
Men, Seyè a kanpe la avè mwen. Se yon vanyan gason li ye, li gen pouvwa. Se poutèt sa se moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo ki pral bite. Se yo ki pral anba. Yo pral wont anpil paske sa p'ap mache pou yo. Se va yon wont pesonn p'ap janm bliye.
12 And you, O Lord of hosts, the Tester of the just, who sees the temperament and the heart: I beg you to let me see your vengeance upon them. For I have revealed my case to you.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a sonde tout moun san patipri. Li konnen sa ki nan kè yo ak sa ki nan tèt yo. Se pou m' wè ou tire revanj ou sou yo, paske se nan men ou menm mwen renmèt kòz mwen.
13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he has freed the soul of the poor from the hand of the wicked.
Chante pou Seyè a. Fè lwanj li! Li rache pòv malere yo anba men mechan yo.
14 Cursed is the day on which I was born! The day on which my mother gave birth to me: let it not be blessed!
Madichon pou jou mwen te fèt la! Ankenn benediksyon pou jou manman m' te fè m' lan!
15 Cursed is the man who announced it to my father, saying, ‘A male child has been born to you,’ causing him to rejoice with gladness.
Madichon pou moun ki t' al fè papa m' konnen li gen yon pitit gason epi ki te fè kè l' kontan lè sa a!
16 Let that man be like the cities that the Lord has overthrown without regret. Let him hear an outcry in the morning, and wailing at the time of midday!
Se pou nonm sa a tankou moun lavil Seyè a detwi pou tout tan an yo. Nan maten, se pou l' tande rèl moun ki nan lapenn. Vè midi, l'a tande siyal lagè,
17 So let him be, who did not put me to death from the womb, so that my mother would have been my sepulcher, and her womb would have been my eternal resting place!
Paske li pa t' touye m' anvan m' te fèt la, pou vant manman m' te tou sèvi m' kavo: li ta rete ansent mwen pou tout tan.
18 Why did I depart from the womb, so that I would see hardship and sorrow, and so that my days would be consumed by trouble?”
Poukisa m' te fèt atò? Pou m' te ka nan lapenn, nan lafliksyon, pou m' te ka mouri nan lawont?
