Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi:
2 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
-Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap pale avè ou. Ekri nan yon liv tou sa mwen te di ou.
3 For, behold, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
Paske, talè konsa mwen pral fè pèp mwen an, moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo kanpe ankò. M'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt yo, y'a reprann peyi a pou yo ankò.
4 These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Men mesaj Seyè a voye bay moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo.
5 For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of peace.
Mwen tande moun ap rele anmwe. Tout moun tèt anba, yo pa konn sa pou yo fè.
6 Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned pale?
Mande sa ki genyen! Al gade non! Eske gason konn pouse pitit? Poukisa mwen wè tout gason men anba tivant tankou fanm ki gen tranche? Y'ap dekonpoze, figi yo rale.
7 Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he will be saved out of it.
Ala malè, mezanmi! Se yon gwo jou malè k'ap vini. Pa gen jou ki ka parèt devan li. Se va yon tan lafliksyon pou fanmi Jakòb la! Men, y'a chape anba l'.
8 It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: Lè jou sa a va vini, m'a kraze jouk bèf ki dèyè kou yo a, m'a kase chenn ki nan ren yo a. Yo p'ap janm esklav moun lòt nasyon ankò.
9 but they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, y'a sèvi ansanm ak yon pitit David m'a mete wa sou yo.
10 Therefore do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD. Do not be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm pitit Jakòb, sèvitè mwen an. Nou pa bezwen tranble, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl. M'ap vin delivre nou nan peyi lwen sa yo. M'ap vin sove pitit nou yo nan peyi kote yo te depòte nou an. N'ap tounen lakay nou pou nou viv ak kè poze, san pesonn pa chache nou kont ankò.
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
M'ap vin jwenn nou, m'ap sove nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap disparèt tout nasyon kote mwen te gaye nou yo. Nou menm, mwen p'ap detwi nou. Men, pou pini se pou m' pini nou, jan sa dwe fèt. Mwen p'ap kite anyen pou nou.
12 For the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a ankò: Pou jan ou donmaje a, pa gen renmèd pou ou. Malenng ou an p'ap janm geri.
13 There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
Pa gen pesonn pou defann kòz ou. Se vre, yo konn geri malenng. Men, pou malenng pa ou la, pa gen renmèd.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you. They do not seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
Tout moun ki t'ap fè lamou avè ou yo bliye ou. Yo yonn pa okipe ou ankò. Mwen frape ou, tankou si m' te lènmi ou. Pinisyon an te rèd pou ou, paske peche ou la te grav anpil. Ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste.
15 Why do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
Poukisa w'ap plenyen pou jan ou donmaje a, pou soufrans ou ki pa ka fini an? Se paske peche ou la te grav anpil, ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste kifè mwen pini ou konsa.
16 Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become prey.
Men, yon lè yo gen pou yo devore moun k'ap devore ou koulye a. Y'ap fè tout moun ki pa vle wè ou yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo. Y'ap piye moun k'ap piye ou yo. Y'ap fini ak moun k'ap fini avè ou yo.
17 For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
Nou menm moun Siyon, yo te rele nou: moun yo mete deyò. Yo t'ap di: pa gen moun pou okipe nou. Men, se mwen menm k'ap ban nou renmèd, k'ap geri tout malenng nou yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
18 The LORD says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral fè moun fanmi Jakòb yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo. Mwen pral gen pitye pou chak fanmi. Yo pral rebati lavil yo sou anplasman vye mazi yo. Yo pral rebati gwo bèl kay yo kote yo te ye anvan an.
19 Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
Y'a tande moun ap chante lakay yo, y'a tande moun ap rele tèlman yo kontan. M'ap fè yo peple, yo p'ap fin disparèt. M'ap fè moun fè lwanj yo. Moun p'ap meprize yo ankò.
20 Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress them.
Pitit gason yo va tankou nan tan lontan. M'ap fè peyi a kanpe byen fèm ankò devan mwen. M'a pini tout moun k'ap peze yo.
21 Their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from among them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says the LORD.
Se yonn nan nou ki va chèf nan peyi a. Wi, se nan mitan nou yon chèf va soti pou gouvènen nou. L'a vin jwenn mwen lè m'a rele l'. Paske pesonn p'ap pran chans vin jwenn mwen si mwen pa rele l'. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
22 “You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'a ye ankò, mwen menm m'a Bondye yo.
23 Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
Lè Bondye ankòlè se tankou yon van tanpèt, yon siklòn k'ap tonbe sou tèt mechan yo.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
Li p'ap sispann toutotan li pa fin fè tou sa li soti pou li fè a. Nan jou k'ap vini yo, pèp la va konprann sa pi byen.
