Jeremiah 17

Seyè a di: -Yo ekri peche moun Jida yo ak yon sizo an fè. Li make nan kè nou ak yon pwent an dyaman. Li grave sou kat kwen lotèl nou yo,

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

pou pitit yo ka chonje tout lotèl yo ak tout poto repozwa yo plante bò pyebwa plen fèy sou tèt mòn yo.

Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.

Nou menm k'ap fè sèvis sou mòn yo, nan mitan pyebwa yo, m'ap fè moun vin piye richès nou yo ak trezò nou yo poutèt peche nou te fè sou mòn yo toupatou nan peyi a.

O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.

Se nou menm ankò ki pral bay peyi mwen te ban nou an. M'ap fè nou tounen domestik lènmi nou yo, nan yon peyi nou pa t' janm konnen paske nou te fè m' fache. Kòlè m' tankou yon dife ki p'ap janm mouri.

And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Madichon pou moun ki vire do ban mwen pou mete konfyans yo nan moun parèy yo, pou konte sou sa moun ap fè pou yo.

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

Y'ap tankou yon ti pyebwa nan dezè k'ap pouse nan yon tè sèk, san dlo, nan yon tè sale kote pèsonn pa rete. Yo p'ap janm wè zafè yo mache byen.

For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

benediksyon pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a, wi, pou moun ki mete tout espwa yo nan li.

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

L'ap tankou pyebwa yo plante bò larivyè, k'ap plonje rasin li nan dlo. Li pa pè anyen lè sezon chalè rive, paske fèy li yo ap toujou vèt. Te mèt gen yon lanne chechrès, sa pa fè l' anyen, l'ap toujou donnen.

For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

Pa gen anyen ki ka twonpe moun pase sa ki nan kè lòt moun. Pa gen renmèd pou sa. Ki moun ki ka rive konprann sa k'ap pase nan kè lèzòm?

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen konnen tout lide ki nan tèt yo, mwen sonde santiman ki nan kè yo. M'ap bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre jan yo mennen bak yo.

I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.

Moun k'ap fè mal pou yo ka rive rich, yo tankou zwezo k'ap kouve ze yo pa t' ponn. Yo poko parèt, y'ap pèdi tou sa yo te genyen. Anvan yo mouri, yo gen tan pèdi tèt yo.

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

Tanp nou an tankou yon bèl fotèy ki kanpe sou tèt mòn lan depi nan konmansman.

A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

Seyè! Se ou ki tout espwa pèp Izrayèl la. Tout moun ki lage ou pral wont. Moun ki vire do ba ou ap disparèt tankou non ki ekri sou sab, paske yo lage ou, Seyè, ou menm ki sous dlo fre a.

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

Seyè, geri m' non, m'a gaya! Delivre m' non, m'a sove! Se pou ou m'a fè lwanj.

Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

Moun yo ap di mwen: Kote sa Seyè a te di a? Se pou l' rive vre!

Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

Men, Seyè, mwen pa t' janm kole dèyè ou pou ou te voye malè sou yo! Mwen pa t' janm mande pou move tan tonbe sou yo! Seyè, ou konn sa! Se devan ou mwen te di tou sa m' te di.

As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

Tanpri, pa kite sa vire mal pou mwen! Jou malè se ou ki tout pwoteksyon m'!

Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.

Se moun k'ap chache touye m' yo ki pou wont. Pa mwen. Se yo ki pou gen kè kase. Pa mwen. Fè malè tonbe sou yo. Kraze yo an miyèt moso!

Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Al kanpe bò Pòtay Pèp la, kote wa Jida yo pase pou antre soti nan lavil la. W'a bay mesaj sa a. Lèfini, al kanpe bò tout lòt pòtay lavil yo, w'a di menm bagay la.

Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

W'a di yo: Nou menm, wa peyi Jida ak tout moun nan peyi a, nou tout moun lavil Jerizalèm ki pase nan pòtay sa yo, koute sa Seyè a di:

And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

Li te di si nou renmen lavi nou, pa pote ankenn chay jou repo a. Pa kite yo pote chay antre nan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm yo.

Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;

Pa pote chay soti lakay nou jou repo a. Piga nou fè ankenn travay jou sa a. Se pou nou mete jou repo a apa pou Seyè a, jan mwen te bay zansèt nou yo lòd la.

Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

Men zansèt nou yo pa t' koute m', yo pa okipe sa m' te di yo a. Yo fè tèt di. Yo pa obeyi m'. Yo derefize fè sa m' te di yo fè.

But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

Men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen di: Si nou menm nou koute lòd mwen ban nou, si nou pa kite pesonn pote chay antre nan pòtay lavil la jou repo a, si nou kenbe jou repo a tankou yon jou nou mete apa pou mwen, si nou pa fè ankenn travay jou sa a,

And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

lè sa a, wa nou yo va antre nan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm yo ansanm ak chèf nou yo. Y'a chita sou fotèy wa David la. Yo menm ansanm ak tout pèp Jida a ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, y'a moute cha lagè yo ak chwal yo. Ap toujou plen moun nan lavil Jerizalèm.

Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

Moun va soti nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo, nan tout vwazinaj lavil Jerizalèm lan, y'a soti nan peyi moun Benjamen yo, nan zòn ki nan pye mòn yo, nan mòn yo ak nan sid peyi Jida a, y'a pote bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, bèt pou yo touye sou lotèl li a, ofrann grenn jaden yo ak lansan, ansanm ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi nan kay Seyè a.

And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.

Tansèlman, si nou pa koute m', si nou pa mete jou repo a apa pou Bondye, si jou sa a nou pote chay, si nou kite moun antre nan pòtay lavil Jerizalèm yo ak chay, m'ap mete dife nan pòtay li yo. Dife a va boule tout gwo kay lavil Jerizalèm yo. Pesonn p'ap ka touye dife sa a.

But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
