Jeremias 19
1 Then said the Lord to me, Go and get an earthen bottle, the work of the potter, and you shall bring [some] of the elders of the people, and of the priests;
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Leve al achte yon kannari. Lèfini, pran kèk chèf fanmi ak kèk chèf prèt avè ou.
2 and you shall go forth to the burial-place of the sons of their children, which is at the entrance of the gate of Charsith; and do you read there all these words which I shall speak to you:
W'a soti lavil la, w'a pase nan pòtay Kannari Kraze, bò Fon Benn Inon an. Lè w'a rive la, w'a pale byen fò pou di yo mesaj m'a ba ou a.
3 and you shall say to them, Hear you the word of the Lord, you kings of Juda, and men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem, and they that enter in by these gates; thus says the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] bring evil upon this place, so that the ears of every one that hears it shall tingle.
Men sa w'a di yo: -Nou menm wa peyi Jida yo, ansanm ak tout moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo, koute mesaj Seyè a. Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Mwen pral mennen yon sèl malè isit la. Lè moun va pran nouvèl la, yo p'ap vle kwè zòrèy yo.
4 Because they forsook me, and profaned this place, and burnt incense in it to strange gods, which they and their fathers knew not; and the kings of Juda have filled this place with innocent blood,
M'ap fè sa paske yo vire do ban mwen. Yo pran peyi a pou fè bagay yo pa t' dwe fè, yo boule lansan pou bondye moun lòt nasyon yo, bondye ni yo menm, ni zansèt yo, ni wa peyi Jida yo pa t' janm konnen. Epi yo touye yon pakèt ti inonsan.
5 and built high places for Baal, to burn their children in the fire, which things I commanded not, neither did I design [them] in my heart:
Yo moute lòt lotèl pou Baal. Yo pran pitit yo, yo touye yo, yo boule yo nèt nan dife pou Baal, bagay mwen pa janm mande yo fè, bagay mwen pa janm louvri bouch mwen di, bagay ki pa janm vin nan lide m'.
6 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when this place shall no more be called, The fall and burial-place of the son of Ennom, but, The burial-place of slaughter.
Enben! Se konsa yon jou ap vini. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale. Yo p'ap janm rele isit la Tofèt, ni Fon Benn Inon. Y'a rele l' Fon Masak la.
7 And I will destroy the counsel of Juda and the counsel of Jerusalem in this place; and I will cast them down with the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and I will give their dead bodies for food to the birds of the sky and to the wild beasts of the earth.
Se isit la mwen pral kraze tout plan moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo t'ap fè yo. M'ap fè lènmi yo touye yo nan lagè. M'ap fè yo mouri anba men moun ki soti pou touye yo. Lèfini, m'ap kite kadav yo sèvi manje pou zwazo nan syèl la ak bèt nan bwa.
8 And I will bring this city to desolation and [make it] a hissing; every one that passes by it shall scowl, and hiss because of all her plague.
M'ap fè lavil Jerizalèm tounen dezè. Moun va sezi wè sa. Tout moun k'ap pase bò la pral sezi, y'ap mete men nan tèt lè y'a wè dega ki fèt ladan l'.
9 And they shall eat the flesh of their sons, and the flesh of their daughters; and they shall eat every one the flesh of his neighbor in the blockade, and in the siege wherewith their enemies shall besiege them.
Lè lènmi yo, moun ki soti pou touye yo, va sènen lavil la, sa va ba yo yon sèl kè sere, sa va lage yo nan yon sèl mizè, y'a manje pwòp pitit gason ak pwòp pitit fi yo. Yonn pral manje lòt.
10 And you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men that go forth with you,
Lè sa a, Seyè a di m': -W'a kraze kannari a devan je mesye ki t' al avè ou yo.
11 and you shall say, Thus says the Lord, Thus will I break in pieces this people, and this city, even as an earthen vessel is broken in pieces which can’t be mended again.
W'a di yo: Men pawòl Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a: Mwen pral kraze pèp sa a ak tout lavil sa a. Yo pral tankou yon kannari kraze ki pa ka ranje ankò. Yo pral antere moun ata nan Tofèt, paske p'ap gen plas ankò lòt kote pou antere yo.
12 Thus will I do, says the Lord, to this place, and to the inhabitants of it, that this city may be given up, as one that is falling to ruin.
Se sa mwen pwomèt pou m' fè lavil sa a ansanm ak tout moun ki rete ladan l' yo. M'ap fè lavil la tounen tankou Tofèt.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Juda shall be as a ruinous place, because of their uncleannesses in all the houses, wherein they burnt incense upon their roofs to all the host of heaven, and poured drink-offerings to strange gods.
Wi, kay lavil Jerizalèm yo ansanm ak kay wa peyi Jida yo ap tankou Tofèt. Yo p'ap ka sèvi pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye. Wi, tout kay sa yo se kote yo te moute anwo sou teras pou boule lansan pou zetwal, pou ofri diven bay lòt bondye.
14 And Jeremias came from [the place] of the Fall, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the Lord's house: and said to all the people, Thus says the Lord;
Lèfini, Jeremi kite Tofèt kote Seyè a te voye l' al bay mesaj li a, li al kanpe nan gwo lakou Tanp lan. Li di pèp la konsa:
15 Behold I bring upon this city, and upon all the cities belonging to it, and upon the villages of it, all the evils which I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their neck, [that they might not] listen to my commands.
-Men pawòl Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la: Mwen pral voye sou lavil sa a ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo, tout chatiman mwen te di m'ap voye yo, paske yo fè tèt di, yo pa vle koute sa m' di yo.
