Jeremiah 17
1 The sinne of Iudah is written with a pen of yron, and with the poynt of a diamonde, and grauen vpon the table of their heart, and vpon the hornes of your altars.
Peche a Juda ekri ak yon plim fèt an fè, ak yon pwent dyaman. Li grave sou tablo kè yo, ak sou kòn lotèl pa yo.
2 They remember their altars as their children, with their groues by the greene trees vpon the hilles.
Menm jan yo sonje pitit pa yo, se konsa yo sonje lotèl pa yo, ak Asherim sou kote bwa vèt, sou wo kolin yo.
3 O my mountaine in the fielde, I will giue thy substance, and all thy treasures to be spoyled, for the sinne of thy high places throughout all thy borders.
O mòn nan vil andeyò Mwen an, Mwen va bay yo tout richès ou yo ak tout trezò ou yo kon piyaj, wo plas ou yo pou peche, nan tout lizyè ou yo.
4 And thou shalt rest, and in thee shall be a rest from thine heritage that I gaue thee, and I will cause thee to serue thine enemies in the land, which thou knowest not: for yee haue kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burne for euer.
Epi ou va menm pou kont ou, kite eritaj ke M te ba ou la. Konsa, Mwen va fè ou sèvi lènmi ou yo nan peyi ke ou pa konnen an; paske ou te limen nan kòlè Mwen yon dife ki va brile jis pou tout tan.
5 Thus saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arme, and withdraweth his heart from the Lord.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Modi se moun ki mete konfyans nan lòm, ki fè lachè vin fòs li, ak kè a sila ki tounen lwen SENYÈ a.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the wildernesse, and shall not see when any good commeth, but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernesse, in a salt land, and not inhabited.
Paske li va tankou bwa raje nan dezè; li p ap janm wè lè bonè rive, men li va viv pami wòch savann nan dezè a, nan yon peyi sale, san moun ki rete ladann.
7 Blessed be the man, that trusteth in ye Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
“Beni se nonm ki konfye nan SENYÈ a, ak sila ki mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a.
8 For he shall be as a tree that is planted by the water, which spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not feele when the heate commeth, but her leafe shall be greene, and shall not care for the yeere of drought, neyther shall cease from yeelding fruit.
Paske li va tankou yon ab ki plante kote dlo, ki lonje rasin li akote yon sous dlo. Li p ap pè lè chalè a rive, men fèy li yo va vèt. Li p ap twouble nan ane sechrès la, ni sispann bay fwi.
9 The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can knowe it?
Kè lòm plen manti plis ke tout lòt yo. Nanpwen lasante ladann nan. Se kilès ki ka konprann li?
10 I the Lord search the heart, and try ye reines, euen to giue euery man according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes.
“Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen sonde kè; Mwen pase panse a leprèv, pou M ka menm bay a chak moun selon chemen pa li, selon fwi a zèv li yo.”
11 As the partryche gathereth the yong, which she hath not brought forth: so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leaue them in the middes of his dayes, and at his ende shall bee a foole.
Kon yon pentad ki kale ze ki pa t pou li, se konsa sila ki ranmase richès san dwa. Nan mitan jou li yo, yo va kite li, e lè vi l fini, li va yon moun bèt.
12 As a glorious throne exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuarie.
Yon twòn plen ak laglwa plase an wo, depi kòmansman an, se li ki azil nou.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee, shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shalbe written in the earth, because they haue forsaken the Lord, the fountaine of liuing waters.
O SENYÈ, espwa Israël la, tout moun ki abandone Ou yo, va vin wont. Sila yo ki kite Mwen sou latè yo, sou latè non yo va vin enskri, akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, sous dlo vivan an.
14 Heale me, O Lord, and I shall bee whole: saue me, and I shall bee saued: for thou art my prayse.
Geri mwen, O SENYÈ e mwen va geri nèt! Sove mwen e mwen va sove! Paske se Ou menm ki lwanj mwen an.
15 Behold, they say vnto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come nowe.
Gade, y ap di mwen tout tan: “Kote pawòl SENYÈ a? Kite l ranpli koulye a”.
16 But I haue not thrust in my selfe for a pastour after thee, neither haue I desired the day of miserie, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips, was right before thee.
Men pou mwen menm, mwen pa t kouri pou m ta sispann fè bèje pou Ou, ni mwen pa t anvi wè jou malè sa a. Ou konnen! Tout pawòl lèv mwen yo te nan prezans Ou.
17 Be not terrible vnto mee: thou art mine hope in the day of aduersitie.
Pa fè m gwo laperèz. Ou se azil mwen nan jou gwo twoub la.
18 Let them bee confounded, that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be afraide, but let not me be afraide: bring vpon them the day of aduersitie, and destroy them with double destruction.
Ke sila ki pèsekite mwen yo vin wont, men pou mwen menm, pa kite mwen vin wont; kite yo twouble nèt, men pa kite m vin twouble. Mennen sou yo yon jou gwo twoub. Detwi yo ak yon destriksyon ki doub!
19 Thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Goe and stande in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the Kings of Iudah come in, and by the which they goe out, and in all ye gates of Ierusalem,
Konsa SENYÈ a te pale mwen: “Ale kanpe nan pòtay piblik la, kote wa Juda yo fè antre sòti a, nan tout pòtay Jérusalem yo.
20 And say vnto them, Heare the word of the Lord, ye Kings of Iudah, and al Iudah, and all the inhabitants of Ierusale, that enter in by these gates.
Pale yo konsa: ‘Koute pawòl SENYÈ a, wa Juda yo, e tout Juda ak tout sila k ap viv Jérusalem yo, k ap fè antre sòti nan pòtay yo:
21 Thus sayth the Lord, Take heede to your soules, and beare no burden in the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Ierusalem.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Veye afè nou e pa pote okenn chaj nan jou Saba a, ni pa mennen anyen antre nan pòtay Jérusalem nan.
22 Neither cary foorth burdens out of your houses in the Sabbath day: neither doe yee any worke, but sanctifie the Sabbath, as I commanded your fathers.
Nou p ap fè okenn chaj sòti lakay nou nan jou Saba a. Ni pa fè okenn travay, men kenbe jou Saba a sen, jan Mwen te kòmande papa zansèt nou yo.
23 But they obeied not, neither inclined their eares, but made their neckes stiffe and would not heare, nor receiue correction.
Men yo pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy yo, men yo te fè tèt di pou yo pa ta koute, ni vin korije.
24 Neuerthelesse if ye will heare me, sayth the Lord, and beare no burden through the gates of the citie in the Sabbath day, but sanctifie ye Sabbath day, so that ye do no worke therein,
Men li va vin rive ke si ou koute M byen pre,” deklare SENYÈ a, “pou pa fè chaj antre nan pòtay lavil sa a nan jou Saba a, men ou kenbe Saba a sen e pa fè travay sou li,
25 Then shall the Kings and the princes enter in at the gates of this citie, and shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and shall ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both they and their princes, the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem: and this citie shall remaine for euer.
alò, va genyen moun ki antre nan pòtay lavil sa a, wa ak prens ki chita sou twòn a David yo, monte sou cha yo ak sou cheval yo, yo menm ak prens pa yo, moun Juda ak sila ki rete Jérusalem yo e vil sa a va abite jis pou tout tan.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Iudah, and from about Ierusalem, and from the land of Beniamin, and from the plaine, and from the mountaines, and from the South, which shall bring burnt offrings, and sacrifices, and meate offrings, and incense, and shall bring sacrifice of prayse into the house of the Lord.
Yo va antre ladann soti nan vil a Juda yo ak tout andwa ki antoure Jérusalem yo; soti nan peyi Benjamin, soti nan ba plèn nan, nan peyi kolin yo ak nan dezè a, k ap pote ofrann brile, sakrifis, ofrann sereyal, ak lansan e yo va mennen sakrifis a remèsiman lakay SENYÈ a.
27 But if ye will not heare me to sanctifie the Sabbath day, and not to beare a burden nor to go through the gates of Ierusalem in the Sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Men si nou pa koute Mwen e pa kenbe jou Saba a sen ak sispann pote chaj e antre nan pòtay Jérusalem nan jou Saba a; alò, Mwen va limen yon dife nan pòtay li yo. Konsa, li va devore palè Jérusalem yo, e li p ap etenn menm.”’”
