< Jeremi 2 >

1 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 -Ale non. Men mesaj ou pral bay nan zòrèy tout moun lavil Jerizalèm. Men sa Seyè a di: Mwen chonje jan ou te ye nan tan lontan, jan ou t'ap mouri pou mwen lè ou te jenn, jan ou te renmen m' lè nou te fèk marye. Ou te swiv mwen nan dezè a, kote anyen pa pouse.
Go and you will proclaim in [the] ears of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh I remember to you [the] covenant loyalty of youth your [the] love of betrothal your walking you after me in the wilderness in a land not sown.
3 Lè sa a, moun Izrayèl yo te yon pèp ki t'ap viv apa pou mwen ase, tankou premye rekòt jaden yo mete apa pou mwen. Malè te tonbe sou tout moun ki te manyen yo paske se avè m' yo te annafè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
[was] a holy thing Israel to Yahweh [the] beginning of (produce his *Qk) all [those who] devour it they will be held guilty calamity it will come to them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
4 Nou menm, moun fanmi Jakòb yo, nou menm tout moun branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, koute mesaj Seyè a!
Hear [the] word of Yahweh O house of Jacob and all [the] clans of [the] house of Israel.
5 Men sa Seyè a voye di nou: -Kisa mwen te fè zansèt nou yo ki mal kifè yo te vire do ban mwen? Yo pran mache dèyè yon bann zidòl ki pa vo anyen. Yo menm tou, yo vin pa vo anyen.
Thus - he says Yahweh what? did they find ancestors your in me injustice that they became distant from with me and they walked after vanity and they became vain.
6 Yo pa chonje reve mande kote Seyè a, li menm ki te fè nou moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, li menm ki te louvri chemen pou nou nan dezè a, nan yon peyi tè sèk, plen twou, yon peyi san dlo, plen danje, kote moun pa rete, kote moun pa menm pase.
And not they said where? [is] Yahweh who brought up us from [the] land of Egypt who led us in the wilderness in a land of desert plain and pit in a land dry and deep darkness in a land [which] not he has passed in it anyone and not he has dwelt anyone there.
7 Mwen fè nou antre nan yon peyi kote ki gen bèl jaden pou nou te ka manje tout bon rekòt ak tout lòt bon bagay li yo. Men, lè nou rive ladan l', nou pa respekte peyi a. Nou fè peyi mwen te ban nou an tounen yon peyi ki ban m' degoutans.
And I brought you into [the] land of the orchard to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its and you came and you made unclean land my and inheritance my you made into an abomination.
8 Prèt yo pa janm mande kote Seyè a? Yo menm mwen te fè konnen lòd mwen yo, yo pa konnen m' ankò. Chèf yo trayi m'. Pwofèt yo pale nan non Baal. Y'ap kouri dèyè zidòl ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo.
The priests not they said where? [is] Yahweh and [those who] handled the law not they knew me and the shepherds they rebelled against me and the prophets they prophesied by Baal and after [things which] not they profited they walked.
9 Se konsa, mwen menm Seyè a, mwen pral plede ak nou ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Mwen pral plede ak pitit pitit nou yo.
Therefore again I will contend with you [the] utterance of Yahweh and with [the] children of children your I will contend.
10 Ale bò solèy kouche, rive jouk sou zile Chip. Voye moun nan peyi Keda, bò solèy leve. N'a wè sa k'ap pase isit la pa janm rive lòt kote anvan sa.
For pass over [the] coasts of Cyprus and see and Kedar send and consider carefully exceedingly and see there! it has happened like this.
11 Lòt nasyon yo pa janm chanje bondye yo, malgre se pa t' bondye tout bon yo te ye. Men, pèp mwen an te pito zidòl ki pa ka fè anyen pou yo pase mwen menm, Bondye ki te fè bèl bagay pou yo a.
¿ Has it exchanged a nation gods and they not [are] gods and people my it has exchanged glory its for [that which] not it profits.
12 Se pou syèl la pantan lè li tande sa! Se pou l' tranble. Se pou l' rete sezi! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
Be appalled O heaven on this and shudder be desolate exceedingly [the] utterance of Yahweh.
13 Paske pèp mwen an fè de kalite peche: Yo vire do ban mwen, mwen menm sous dlo fre a. Y' ale fè rezèvwa pou dlo. Rezèvwa yo tou fann, yo pa ka kenbe dlo.
That two evil things it has done people my me they have forsaken a spring of - water living to dig for themselves cisterns cisterns broken which not they contain water.
14 Se pa esklav moun pèp Izrayèl yo ye. Ni yo pa fèt nan esklavaj. Poukisa atò lènmi ap bwote yo ale konsa?
¿ A slave [is] Israel or? one born of [the] household [is] it why? has it become plunder.
15 Y'ap gwonde sou li tankou lyon, y'ap rele byen fò. Yo fè peyi a tounen yon savann. Yo mete dife nan tout lavil li yo. Pa rete yon moun ladan yo.
On it they have been roaring young lions they have given voice their and they have made land its into a waste cities its (they are burnt *QK) because not inhabitant.
16 Ata moun Menmfis yo ak moun Tapanès yo ap kale tèt yo.
Also [the] people of Memphis (and Tahpanhes *Qk) they will graze you scalp.
17 Se nou menm ki chache sa, paske nou vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, antan li t'ap moutre nou chemen pou nou pran an.
¿ Not this have you done to yourself by forsaking you Yahweh God your at [the] time of [one who] led you in the way.
18 Koulye a, kisa nou kwè n'a jwenn lè nou pran chemen Lejip pou n al bwè dlo nan larivyè Nil? Kisa ou kwè n'a jwenn lè nou pran chemen Lasiri pou n al bwè dlo nan larivyè Lefrat?
And therefore what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Egypt to drink [the] water of [the] Shihor and what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Assyria to drink [the] water of [the] River.
19 Se mal nou fè a k'ap tounen yon fwèt pou nou! Se vire nou vire do ban mwen an k'ap kondannen nou! Se pou nou konnen jan sa pa dous, jan sa pa bon pou nou vire do ban mwen, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou sispann gen krentif pou mwen. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
It will punish you wickedness your and apostasies your they will rebuke you and know and see that [is] evil and bitter forsaking you Yahweh God your and not awe of me [is] with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.
20 Izrayèl, gen lontan depi ou pa rekonèt otorite m' ankò! W'ap manje kòd, w'ap di: Mwen p'ap sèvi Seyè a. Lèfini, sou tout ti mòn anba tout gwo pyebwa ou nan dezòd, w'ap fè sèvis pou lòt bondye.
That from long ago I broke off yoke your I tore off fetters your and you said not (I will transgress *QK) for on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant you [have been] lying down a prostitute.
21 Mwen te plante ou tankou yon pye rezen kalite, ki soti nan bon semans. Men koulye a, gade jan ou chanje: Ou tounen yon vye pye rezen mawon. M' pa konnen kote ou soti.
And I I had planted you a choice vine all of it [was] seed of reliability and how? have you changed yourself to me [the] degenerate [ones] of the vine alien.
22 Ou te mèt lave kò ou ak gwo savon, ou te mèt fwote kò ou ak potas, m'ap toujou wè kras malpwòpte ou yo sou ou. Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye a, ki di sa.
That though you will wash with soda so you may increase for yourself soap [is] stained iniquity your before me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
23 Ki jan ou fè ka di ou nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen, ou pa janm kouri dèyè Baal yo? Gade tout vye makakri w'ap fè nan fon an! Rekonèt sa ou fè a non! Ou tankou yon jenn fenmèl chamo ki lage nan bwa, w'ap kouri adwat agoch.
How? will you say not I have made myself unclean after the Baals not I have walked consider conduct your in the valley recognize what? have you done a young camel swift entwining paths its.
24 Ou tankou yon fenmèl bourik mawon nan savann. Lè li an chalè, l'ap pran sant van an. Lè li bezwen kwaze, ki moun ki ka kenbe l'? Mal yo pa bezwen bat kò yo pou yo jwenn li. Depi se mwa li, y'ap jwenn li.
A wild donkey - accustomed to a wilderness in [the] lust of (self its *QK) it sniffs [the] wind heat its who? will he turn back it all [those who] seek it not they will grow weary in month its they will find it.
25 Izrayèl, manyè sispann! W'ap plede fatige janm ou yo! Gòj ou ap fin chèch! Men w'ap di: Non! M' pa kab fè anyen pou sa! Mwen renmen bondye lòt nasyon yo. Fòk m' al dèyè yo.
Restrain foot your from barefoot (and throat your *QK) from thirst and you said despairing In-deed I love strange [gods] and after them I will walk.
26 Menm jan yon vòlè wont lè yo bare l', se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo pral wont, ni wa yo, ni chèf yo, ni prèt yo, ni pwofèt yo!
Like [the] shame of a thief if he is found so they have been put to shame [the] house of Israel they kings their officials their and priests their and prophets their.
27 Yo rele pyebwa yo papa! Yo rele wòch yo manman m' ki fè m'! Wi, yo pito vire ban m' do, pase pou yo tounen vin jwenn mwen. Men, depi yo nan traka, y'ap rele: -Seyè, leve non! Vin delivre nou!
[who] say To wood [are] father my you and to stone you (you gave birth to us *QK) for they have turned to me a back and not a face and at [the] time of calamity their they will say arise! and save us.
28 Men, nou menm moun Jida yo, kote bondye nou te fè pou nou yo? Lè nou nan traka, se yo ki pou leve vin delivre nou, si yo kapab! Moun Jida, nou gen yon bondye nan chak lavil nou yo!
And where? [are] gods your which you made for yourself let them arise if they will save you at [the] time of calamity your for [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah.
29 Poukisa n'ap plede avè m' konsa? Nou tout nou kenbe tèt avè m'. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa!
Why? do you contend against me all of you you have rebelled against me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
30 Mwen te pini pitit nou yo, men sa pa t' sèvi anyen. Nou pa t' dakò pou m' te korije nou! Tankou lyon ki fin wè mò, nou rale nepe nou yo, nou touye pwofèt nou yo.
For vanity I struck sons your correction not they accepted it devoured sword your prophets your like a lion destroying.
31 (Nou menm k'ap viv koulye a, koute byen sa Seyè a ap di a.) Pèp Izrayèl, èske mwen te tankou yon dezè pou nou, tankou yon kote ki fènwa anpil? Poukisa atò pou nou di: -Nou granmoun tèt nou, nou p'ap janm tounen vin jwenn ou ankò!
O generation you consider [the] word of Yahweh ¿ a wilderness have I been to Israel or? a land of darkness why? have they said people my we have roamed not we will come again to you.
32 Eske yon jenn fi ka bliye bijou li yo? Eske yon lamarye ka bliye rad nòs li? Men, pèp mwen an bliye m', m' pa ka konte depi kilè.
¿ Will she forget a virgin ornament[s] her a bride sashes her and people my they have forgotten me days there not [is] number.
33 Ou konnen byen sa pou ou fè lè w'ap kouri dèyè gason. Lè konsa, nanpwen krim ou p'ap fè.
How! you make good way your to seek love therefore also wicked women (you have taught *QK) ways your.
34 Rad ou yo tache ak san pòv ansanm ak san inonsan, moun ou pa t' bare ap fè anyen ki mal. Malgre tou sa,
Also on skirts your they were found [the] blood of [the] lives of needy [people] innocent not in breaking in you found them for on all these [things].
35 w'ap plede di ou pa antò. Seyè a pa fache avè ou ankò. Men, mwen menm Seyè a, mwen pral pini ou paske ou refize rekonèt ou te fè sa ou pa t' dwe fè.
And you said that I am innocent surely it has turned back anger his from me here I [am] about to enter into judgment with with you because saying you not I have sinned.
36 Gade jan w'ap avili tèt ou, lè w'ap kouri dèyè bondye lòt nasyon yo! W'ap pran wont nan men peyi Lejip menm jan sa te rive ou avèk peyi Lasiri.
Why? do you treat lightly exceedingly to change way your also from Egypt you will be ashamed just as you were ashamed from Assyria.
37 W'a vire do ou kite peyi Lejip. Avèk men ou, w'a bouche figi ou tèlman w'a wont. Mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen voye moun ou fè konfyans yo jete. Yo p'ap ka fè anyen pou ou.
Also from with this [one] you will go out and hands your [will be] on head your for he has rejected Yahweh objects of confidence your and not you will prosper to them.
