Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith Jehovah, they shall bring forth the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Lè sa a, yo pral detere zosman wa Jida yo, zosman chèf li yo, zosman prèt yo, zosman pwofèt yo, zosman tout moun ki te rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.
2 and they shall spread them out to the sun and to the moon and to all the host of the heavens, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the ground.
Yo pral kite yo atè a konsa devan solèy la, devan lalin lan, devan zetwal yo ki nan syèl la, paske se bagay sa yo moun sa yo te renmen, se sa yo t'ap sèvi, se sa yo t'ap swiv. Se sa yo t' al mande sa pou yo fè. Se pou yo yo t'ap fè sèvis. Pesonn p'ap ranmase zosman yo pou antere yo. Y'a tounen fimye atè a.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, in all the places whither I have driven those that remain, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Nan move ras sa a, gen yon ti rès moun ki va chape. Mwen pral gaye yo yon bann kote sou latè pou yo rete. Lè sa a, y'a règrèt yo pa t' mouri pito. Se Seyè a ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa.
4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah: Do [men] fall, and not rise up? Doth one turn away, and not return?
W'a di yo pou mwen men pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a: Lè yon moun tonbe, èske li pa leve ankò? Lè yon moun pèdi chemen l', èske li pa tounen kote l' soti a?
5 Why hath this people of Jerusalem slidden back with a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Poukisa atò, nou menm pèp lavil Jerizalèm, nou vire do ban mwen, epi nou pa vle chanje? Nou kenbe pye zidòl nou yo la tòt. Nou derefize tounen vin jwenn mwen.
6 I hearkened and heard: they speak not what is right; there is no man who repenteth him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Every one turneth to his course, like a horse rushing into the battle.
M' pare zòrèy mwen pou m' tande tout sa n'ap di: Men, pawòl ki soti nan bouch nou pa laverite. Pa gen yonn nan nou ki gen lapenn pou mechanste n'ap fè yo. Pa gen yonn ki di: Kisa m'ap fè la a konsa? Tankou yon chwal k'ap kouri pou al nan lagè, yo pa tande yo pa wè, yo lage kò yo pi fon nan mechanste yo.
7 Even a stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times, and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of Jehovah.
Ata zwezo yo rele sigòy yo konnen lè pou yo tounen lakay yo. Menm toutrèl, ziwondèl ak valèt, yo konnen lè pou yo vwayaje tounen. Men, nou menm pèp mwen an, nou pa konnen regleman mwen ban nou pou nou swiv yo.
8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Behold, certainly the lying pen of the scribes hath made it falsehood.
Ki jan nou ka fè di nou gen bon konprann, lalwa Seyè a avèk nou? Men dirèktè lalwa yo, se yon bann malonèt. Avèk bèl pawòl yo, yo fè l' di sa li pa di.
9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: behold, they have rejected Jehovah's word; and what wisdom is in them?
Nou fè moun ki gen bon konprann yo wont. Yo kraponnen, yo kite moun pran tèt yo. Yo voye pawòl Seyè a jete. Kote bon konprann yo koulye a?
10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, their fields to those that shall possess [them]; for every one, from the least even unto the greatest, is given to covetousness; from the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely.
Se poutèt sa m'ap pran madanm yo bay lòt moun. M'ap pran jaden yo bay moun k'ap anvayi peyi yo a. Paske yo tout, gran kou piti, ap fè akrèk dèyè lajan. Ni pwofèt yo, ni prèt yo, yo tout ap twonpe pèp la pou fè lajan.
11 And they have healed the breach of the daughter of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace! when there is no peace.
Yo pa pran malè ki rive pèp mwen an pou anyen. Y'ap plede di: Tout bagay ap mache byen! Pa gen danje! Epi, manti! Anyen p'ap mache.
12 Are they ashamed that they have committed abomination? Nay, they are not at all ashamed, and they know not how to blush. Therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith Jehovah.
Ou kwè yo ta wont pou bagay lèd yo fè yo? Bichi! Yo pa wont menm. Yo pa konn sa ki rele wont. Se poutèt sa, yo pral tonbe menm jan lòt yo te tonbe a. Lè m'a pini yo, se va bout yo. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
13 I will utterly take them away, saith Jehovah: there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree; and the leaf is faded: and I will give them up to those that shall pass over them.
Mwen te soti pou m' te ranmase pèp mwen an tankou moun k'ap ranmase rekòt li. Men, yo te tankou pye rezen san yon rezen ladan l', tankou pye fig frans san yon fig frans ladan l'. Se poutèt sa m' kite etranje pran peyi a nan men yo.
14 Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced cities, and let us be silent there: for Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.
Pèp la menm ap di: -Poukisa nou rete bra kwaze konsa? Annou sanble! Ann kouri ale nan lavil ki gen ranpa yo! Se la pou nou mouri. Paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, kondannen nou pou n' mouri. Li ban nou pwazon pou n' bwè, paske nou antò devan li.
15 Peace is looked for, and there is no good; a time of healing, and behold, terror.
Nou t'ap tann li ban nou kè poze ak lasante. Men anyen pa mache. Nou t'ap tann li vin geri nou, men se pè l'ap fè nou pè.
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: the whole land trembleth at the sound of the neighing of his steeds, and they come, and devour the land, and all it contains, the city and those that dwell therein.
Lènmi deja rive nan zòn lavil Dann lan. Nou tande souf chwal yo. Tout tè a ap tranble lè chwal yo ap ranni. Lènmi an ap vini, l'ap detwi peyi a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'. L'ap kraze lavil yo ansanm ak tout moun ki ladan yo.
17 For behold, I send among you serpents, vipers against which there is no charm, and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.
Seyè a di ankò: -Men m'ap lage sèpan dèyè nou, move sèpan nou p'ap ka chame. Y'ap mòde nou.
18 My comfort in my sadness! my heart is faint in me!
Anyen pa ka soulaje lapenn mwen! Kè m' ap fann!
19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people, from a very far country: Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, with foreign vanities?
Koute jan pèp mwen an ap rele mande sekou toupatou nan peyi a. Gen lè Seyè a pa sou mòn Siyon an ankò? Gen lè wa Siyon an pa la ankò? Seyè a reponn: -Poukisa nou fè m' fache konsa? N'ap sèvi zidòl, n'ap fè sèvis pou bondye lòt nasyon yo ki pa vo anyen.
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Pèp la ap rele: -Sezon chalè a fini. Sezon rekòt la pase. Nou pa sove jouk koulye a!
21 — For the breach of the daughter of my people am I crushed; I go mourning; astonishment hath taken hold of me.
Kè m' ap fann lè m' wè jan y'ap kraze pèp mwen an. M' pa wè sa pou m' fè ankò! M' dekouraje nèt.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? is there no physician there? Why then is there no dressing applied for the healing of the daughter of my people?
Pa gen renmèd pou yo nan peyi Galarad? Pa gen dòktè ankò laba a? Poukisa atò pèp mwen an pa ka jwenn lasante?
