Jeremiah 11

1 The worde that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,

Seyè a pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa:

2 Heare ye the wordes of this couenant, and speake vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem,

-Koute kondisyon nou te pase nan kontra a. W'a pale ak moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo.

3 And say thou vnto them, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the wordes of this couenant,

W'a di yo men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Madichon pou tout moun ki pa kenbe kondisyon ki nan kontra a.

4 Which I commanded vnto your fathers, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt, from the yron fornace, saying, Obey my voyce, and doe according to all these things, which I commande you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God,

Se kontra sa a mwen te pase ak zansèt nou yo lè mwen t'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip, peyi ki te tankou yon gwo dife nan dèyè yo. Mwen te di yo: Se pou nou koute m', se pou nou fè tou sa mwen ban nou lòd fè. Se konsa, n'a yon pèp ki rele m' pa m'. Mwen menm, m'a sèl Bondye nou.

5 That I may confirme the othe, that I haue sworne vnto your fathers, to giue them a lande, which floweth with milke and hony, as appeareth this day. Then answered I and sayde, So be it, O Lord.

Lè sa a m'a kenbe pwomès ak gwo sèman mwen te fè bay zansèt nou yo, pou m' te ba yo yon bon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo. Se peyi sa a ki pa nou jòdi a! Mwen reponn: -Se vre, Seyè!

6 Then the Lord saide vnto me, Cry all these words in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, saying, Heare yee the words of this couenant, and doe them.

Apre sa, Seyè a di m' ankò: -Al repete tout pawòl sa yo byen fò nan zòrèy moun lavil peyi Jida yo, ak nan zòrèy moun nan tout lari lavil Jerizalèm. Di yo: Koute kondisyon ki nan kontra a. Fè tou sa ki ladan l'.

7 For I haue protested vnto your fathers, whe I brought them vp out of the land of Egypt vnto this day, rising earely and protesting, saying, Obey my voyce.

Paske, depi lè mwen t'ap fè zansèt nou yo soti kite peyi Lejip jouk rive jòdi a, mwen pa manke avèti yo. Depi lè sa a m' dèyè yo, m'ap mande yo pou yo koute sa m' te di yo!

8 Neuerthelesse they would not obey, nor encline their eare: but euery one walked in the stubbernesse of his wicked heart: therefore I will bring vpon them all the wordes of this couenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did it not.

Men yo pa tande, zòrèy yo bouche. Mwen te mande yo pou yo te fè tou sa mwen te ba yo lòd fè nan kontra a, men yo derefize. Se konsa mwen pini yo jan m' te di yo sa nan kontra a.

9 And the Lord sayd vnto me, A conspiracie is found among the men of Iudah, and among the inhabitants of Ierusalem.

Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Moun Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm moute konplo sou do mwen.

10 They are turned backe to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to heare my wordes: and they went after other gods to serue them: thus the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue broken my couenant, which I made with their fathers.

Yo tonbe ankò nan menm peche ak zansèt yo ki te refize koute sa m' t'ap di yo. Yo menm tou, yo kouri dèyè lòt bondye pou fè sèvis pou yo. Ni moun peyi Izrayèl yo, ni moun peyi Jida yo pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase ak zansèt yo a.

11 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will bring a plague vpon them, which they shall not be able to escape, and though they crye vnto me, I will not heare them.

Enben! Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale: Mwen pral voye yon malè sou yo. Yo p'ap ka chape anba l'. Y'a kriye nan pye m', mwen p'ap koute yo.

12 Then shall the cities of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem goe, and crie vnto the gods vnto whome they offer incense, but they shall not bee able to helpe them in time of their trouble.

Lè sa a, se pou moun peyi Jida yo ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo al kriye nan pye bondye y'ap sèvi yo. Se pa pou yo yo te konn boule ofrann yo! Tansèlman, bondye sa yo p'ap ka sove yo lè malè a va rive sou yo.

13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Iudah, and according to the number of the streetes of Ierusalem haue yee set vp altars of confusion, euen altars to burne incense vnto Baal.

Nou menm moun peyi Jida, nou gen yon bondye pou chak lavil nan peyi a! Nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, mezi lari nou genyen se mezi lotèl nou bati pou boule ofrann pou Baal, zidòl k'ap fè nou wont la!

14 Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp a crie, or prayer for them: for when they cry vnto mee in their trouble, I will not heare them.

Ou menm, Jeremi, ou pa bezwen vin plede pou moun sa yo. Ou pa bezwen plenyen pou yo, ni ou pa bezwen lapriyè pou yo. Paske y'a rele nan pye m' lè malè a va rive sou yo, mwen p'ap tande yo.

15 What shoulde my beloued tarie in mine house, seeing they haue committed abomination with manie? and the holy flesh goeth away from thee: yet when thou doest euill, thou reioycest.

Seyè a di ankò: -Pèp mwen renmen anpil la gen move lide dèyè tèt yo. Ki dwa yo genyen pou yo vin nan Tanp mwen an? Yo gen lè konprann yo ka egzante malè k'ap vin sou yo a avèk bèl pwomès y'ap fè m' yo, yo ka chape anba l' avèk vyann anpil bèt y'ap ofri pou mwen yo, apre sa pou y' al pran plezi yo?

16 The Lord called thy name, A greene oliue tree, faire, and of goodly fruite: but with noyse and great tumult he hath set fyre vpon it, and the branches of it are broken.

Yon lè, mwen te rele yo: Bèl pye oliv mwen an, plen fèy, chaje donn. Men, koulye a, m'ap vini ak yon bri loraj, m'ap mete dife nan fèy li yo, m'ap kase tout branch li yo.

17 For the Lord of hostes that planted thee, hath pronounced a plague against thee, for the wickednes of the house of Israel, and of the house of Iudah, which they haue done against themselues to prouoke me to anger in offering incense vnto Baal.

Se mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki te plante pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak pèp Jida a. Men koulye a, mwen pran desizyon pou m' voye malè sou yo. Se yo menm ki chache l' avèk tou sa yo fè ki mal: Se yo ki fè m' fache paske y' al boule ofrann pou Baal!

18 And the Lord hath taught me, and I knowe it, euen then thou shewedst mee their practises.

Seyè a fè m' konnen yo t'ap moute yon konplo sou do mwen. Li fè m' wè jan yo t'ap manniganse sou do m' pou yo pran m'.

19 But I was like a lambe, or a bullocke, that is brought to the slaughter, and I knewe not that they had deuised thus against me, saying, Let vs destroy the tree with the fruite thereof, and cut him out of the lande of the liuing, that his name may be no more in memory.

Mwen menm, mwen te tankou yon ti mouton tou dou yo t'ap mennen labatwa, mwen pa t' konnen se sou do m' yo t'ap konplote konsa lè yo t'ap di: Annou koupe pyebwa ki byen kanpe a. Ann disparèt li sou latè pou pesonn pa chonje l' ankò.

20 But O Lord of hostes, that iudgest righteously, and triest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.

Lè sa a, mwen lapriyè, mwen di: -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ou se yon jij ki pa nan patipri. Ou sonde tou sa ki nan kè ak nan lide moun. Mwen lage kòz mwen nan men ou. Fè m' wè jan w'ap tire revanj ou sou yo.

21 The Lord therefore speaketh thus of the men of Anathoth, (that seeke thy life, and say, Prophecie not in the Name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hands)

Mesye lavil Anatòt yo te soti pou yo touye m'. Yo di m' konsa: O wi, si ou louvri bouch ou pou pale nan non Seyè a ankò, n'ap touye ou.

22 Thus therefore sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will visite them: the yong men shall die by the sword: their sonnes and their daughters shall die by famine,

Enben, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: M' pral regle ak yo! Jenn gason yo pral mouri nan lagè. Pitit gason ak pitit fi yo pral mouri grangou.

23 And none of them shall remaine: for I will bring a plague vpon the men of Anathoth, euen the yeere of their visitation.

Lè lè a va rive pou yo peye pou sa yo fè a, m'ap voye yon sèl malè sou moun lavil Anatòt yo. Yo yonn p'ap chape.
