< Jeremiah 22 >

1 The Lord seith these thingis, Go thou doun in to the hous of the kyng of Juda, and thou schalt speke there this word, and schalt seie,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ale desann kote kay wa Juda a, e pale pawòl sa a:
2 Thou kyng of Juda, that sittist on the seete of Dauid, here the word of the Lord, thou, and thi seruauntis, and thi puple, that entren bi these yatis.
Di l konsa: ‘Koute pawòl SENYÈ a, O wa Juda, ki chita sou twòn David la, ou menm, sèvitè ou yo ak pèp ou a ki antre nan pòtay sila yo.
3 The Lord seith these thingis, Do ye doom, and riytfulnesse, and delyuere ye hym that is oppressid bi violence fro the hond of the fals chalenger; and nyle ye make sori, nether oppresse ye wickidli a comelyng, and a fadirles child, and a widewe, and schede ye not out innocent blood in this place.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Fè jistis ak ladwati e delivre sila ki te vòlè devan pouvwa sila ki te oprime l la. Anplis pa maltrete ni fè vyolans a yon etranje, òfelen an ak vèv la. Ni pa vèse san inosan nan plas sa a.
4 For if ye doynge don this word, kyngis of the kyn of Dauid sittynge on his trone schulen entre bi the yatis of this hous, and schulen stie on charis and horsis, thei, and the seruauntis, and the puple of hem.
Paske si nou menm mesye yo va, anverite, fè bagay sa a, alò, wa yo va antre nan pòtay kay sa a, e va chita nan plas David sou twòn li an. Yo va monte sou cha yo ak sou cheval yo—yo menm, sèvitè yo ak pèp li a.
5 That if ye heren not these wordis, Y swoore in my silf, seith the Lord, that this hous schal be in to wildirnesse.
Men si nou pa obeyi pawòl sa yo, Mwen sèmante pa Mwen menm,” deklare SENYÈ a: “ke kay sila a va vin dezole.”’”
6 For the Lord seith these thingis on the hous of the kyng of Juda, Galaad, thou art to me the heed of the Liban; credence be not youun to me, if Y sette not thee a wildirnesse, citees vnhabitable.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan kay wa a Juda a: “Ou tankou Galaad pou Mwen, tankou tèt mòn Liban an. Malgre, anverite Mwen va fè nou kon yon dezè, kon vil ki abandone.
7 And Y schal halewe on thee a man sleynge, and hise armuris; and thei schulen kitte doun thi chosun cedris, and schulen caste doun in to fier.
Paske Mwen va mete destriktè apa pou ou, yo chak ak zam yo. Epi yo va koupe mete atè bwa sèd pi chwazi ou yo e jete yo nan dife.
8 And many folkis schulen passe bi this citee, and ech man schal seie to his neiybore, Whi dide the Lord thus to this greet citee?
“Anpil nasyon va pase kote vil sa a. Konsa, yo va di youn lòt: ‘Poukisa SENYÈ a te fè bagay sa a gwo vil sa a?’
9 And thei schulen answere, For thei forsoken the couenaunt of her Lord God, and worschipiden alien goddis, and serueden hem.
Epi yo va reponn: ‘Akoz yo te abandone akò SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a, e te pwostène yo a lòt dye yo e te sèvi yo.’”
10 Nyle ye biwepe hym that is deed, nether weile ye on hym bi wepyng; biweile ye hym that goith out, for he schal no more turne ayen, nether he schal se the lond of his birthe.
Pa kriye pou mò yo. Pa fè dèy pou li, men kriye san rete pou sila ki sòti a; paske li p ap janm retounen, ni li p ap wè peyi l ankò.
11 For the Lord seith these thingis to Sellum, the sone of Josie, the kyng of Juda, that regnede for Josye, his fadir, He that yede out of this place, schal no more turne ayen hidur;
Paske se konsa SENYÈ a pale a Schallum, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, ki te vin wa nan plas Josias, papa li, ki te ale kite plas sa a: “Li p ap janm retounen la,
12 but in the place to which Y translatide him, there he schal die, and he schal no more se this lond.
men nan plas kote li te mennen an kaptivite a, se la li va mouri e li p ap wè peyi sila ankò.”
13 Wo to him that bildith his hous in vnriytfulnesse, and his soleris not in doom; he schal oppresse his freend in veyn, and he schal not yelde his hire to hym.
“Malè a sila ki bati kay li san ladwati, chanm anlè yo san jistis, ki itilize sèvis vwazen li san peye e ki pa bay li salè li,
14 Which seith, Y schal bilde to me a large hous, and wide soleris; which openeth wyndows to hym silf, and makith couplis of cedre, and peyntith with reed colour.
Ki di: “Mwen va bati pou mwen menm yon kay ak anpil espas, ak gwo chanm anlè. Mwen va koupe fenèt li yo, ba li panno bwa sèd e pentire l an koulè wouj.’
15 Whether thou schalt regne, for thou comparisonest thee to a cedre? whether thi fadir eet not, and drank, and dide doom and riytfulnesse thanne, whanne it was wel to hym?
“Èske ou dwe wa akoz ou pi fò nan afè bwa sèd? Èske papa ou pa t manje, bwè e fè jistis ak sa ki dwat? Epi sa te ale byen pou li.
16 He demyde the cause of a pore man, and nedi, in to his good; whether not therfor for he knew me? seith the Lord.
Li te plede koz a malere ak aflije yo, epi sa te ale byen. Èske se pa sa ki vle di ou rekonèt Mwen an?” deklare SENYÈ a.
17 Forsothe thin iyen and herte ben to aueryce, and to schede innocent blood, and to fals caleng, and to the perfourmyng of yuel werk.
“Men zye ou ak kè ou rete sèlman sou richès ki ranmase nan zak malonèt, nan vèse san inosan, nan opresyon ak vyolans.”
18 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis to Joachym, the sone of Josie, the kyng of Juda, Thei schulen not biweile hym, Wo brother! and wo sistir! thei schulen not sowne togidere to hym, Wo lord! and wo noble man!
Pou sa, konsa SENYÈ a pale konsènan Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a: “Yo p ap fè dèy pou li. Ni rele ‘Anmwey, frè m!’ ni ‘Anmwey sè m!’ “Yo p ap fè gwo kri pou li. Ni ‘Anmwey, mèt mwen!’ Ni ‘Anmwey, pou grand pwisans li!’
19 He schal be biried with the biriyng of an asse, he schal be rotun, and cast forth without the yatis of Jerusalem.
Li va antere ak antèman bourik, trennen e jete deyò pòtay Jérusalem yo.”
20 Stie thou on the Liban, and cry thou, and yyue thi vois in Basan, and cry to hem that passen forth, for alle thi louyeris ben al to-brokun.
“Ale monte kote Liban. Kriye fò e leve vwa ou nan Basan. Kriye anplis depi Abarim, paske tout moun ki renmen ou yo vin kraze nèt.
21 Y spak to thee in thi plentee, and thou seidist, Y schal not here; this is thi weie fro thi yongthe, for thou herdist not my vois.
Mwen te pale ak ou nan pwosperite, men ou te di: ‘Mwen p ap koute’! Konsa abitid ou depi nan jenès ou, ke ou te refize obeyi lavwa M.
22 Wynd schal feede alle thi scheepherdis, and thi louyeris schulen go in to caitifte;
Van an va bale fè disparèt tout bèje ou yo, ak moun ki renmen ou yo, y ap wale an kaptivite. Konsa, ou va anverite wont e imilye akoz tout mechanste ou yo.
23 and thanne thou that sittist in the Liban, and makist nest in cedris, schalt be schent, and be aschamed of al thi malice. Hou weilidist thou, whanne sorewis weren comun to thee, as the sorew of a womman trauelynge of child?
Nou menm k ap viv Liban, ki fè nich ak bwa sèd yo, nou va plenyen nan gòj lè gran doulè a rive sou ou; doulè tankou yon fanm k ap akouche a!
24 I lyue, seith the Lord, for thouy Jeconye, the sone of Joachym, kyng of Juda, were a ring in my riyt hond, fro thennus Y schal drawe awei hym.
“Kon Mwen viv la”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Menmsi Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan, te yon bag so nan men dwat Mwen; malgre sa, Mwen ta rale retire ou.
25 And Y schal yyue thee in the hond of hem that seken thi lijf, and in the hond of hem whos face thou dredist, and in the hond of Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, and in the hond of Caldeis.
Epi mwen ta lese ou tonbe nan men a sila k ap chache lavi ou yo; wi, nan men a sila ke ou krent anpil yo, menm nan men Nebucadnetsar, wa a Babylone nan, e nan men a Kaldeyen yo.
26 And Y schal sende thee, and thi moder that gendride thee, in to an alien lond, in which ye weren not borun, and there ye schulen die;
Mwen va jete ou ak manman ou ki te fè ou a jis nan yon lòt peyi kote ou pa t fèt, e la ou va mouri.
27 and thei schulen not turne ayen in to the lond, to which thei reisen her soule, that thei turne ayen thidur.
Men pou peyi kote yo ta vle retounen an, yo p ap retounen la.”
28 Whether this man Jeconye is an erthene vessel, and al to-brokun? whether a vessel withouten al likyng? Whi ben he and his seed cast awei, and cast forth in to a lond which thei knewen not?
Èske nonm sa a, Jenocia se yon po meprize, kraze nèt? Oswa èske li se yon veso lèd, san valè? Poukisa li menm ak desandan li yo te jete deyò konsa e depoze nan yon peyi ke yo pa t konnen?
29 Erthe, erthe, erthe, here thou the word of the Lord.
O latè, latè, latè, tande pawòl SENYÈ a!
30 The Lord seith these thingis, Write thou this man bareyn, a man that schal not haue prosperite in hise daies; for of his seed schal be no man, that schal sitte on the seete of Dauid, and haue powere ferthere in Juda.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mete nonm sa a nan lis kon ‘san pitit’, yon nonm ki p ap reyisi nan jou li yo. Paske nanpwen moun nan desandan li yo ki va reyisi, ni k ap chita sou twòn David la, ni gouvène ankò nan Juda.”
