Jeremiah 25
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
Pawòl ki te rive kote Jérémie konsènan tout pèp a Juda a, nan katriyèm ane a Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, (ki te nan premye ane Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan),
2 So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:
ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te pale a tout pèp Juda a e a tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem yo. Li te di:
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
Depi nan trèzyèm ane Josias, fis a Amon an, wa Juda a, menm rive nan jou sa a, pandan venn-twazan sila yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Konsa, mwen te pale avèk nou; mwen te leve bonè pou pale ak nou, men nou pa t koute, ni nou pa t panche zòrèy nou pou tande.
4 And the LORD has sent all His servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear.
SENYÈ a te voye bannou tout sèvitè Li yo ak pwofèt yo. Li te leve bonè pou voye yo, men nou pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy nou pou koute,
5 The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
Li te di: “Vire koulye a nou tout e kite wout mechan nou, mechanste a zak nou yo pou vin rete nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou ak papa zansèt nou yo pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan.
6 Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’
Pa mache dèyè lòt dye pou sèvi e adore yo, ni pa pwovoke M a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo. Konsa, Mwen p ap fè nou okenn mal.”
7 ‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’
“Sepandan, nou pa t janm koute Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou nou ka pwovoke m a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo, jis rive nan pwòp donmaj nou.”
8 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Because you have not obeyed My words,
Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Akoz nou pa t obeyi pawòl Mwen yo,
9 behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
gade byen, Mwen va voye pran tout fanmi nò yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen va voye kote Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, sèvitè Mwen an. Mwen va fè yo vini kont peyi sa a, kont tout moun ki rete ladann yo, e kont tout nasyon ki antoure li yo. Konsa, Mwen va detwi yo nèt, fè yo vin yon gwo laperèz, yon objè moun sifle kon koulèv ak yon dezolasyon k ap la pou tout tan.
10 Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Anplis, Mwen va retire sou yo vwa ki plen ak lajwa a, e vwa a kè kontan an, vwa a jennonm ki fenk marye, vwa a jenn fi marye a, son a wòch moulen yo ak limyè a lanp lan.
11 And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
Tout peyi sa a va vin yon dezolasyon ak yon gwo laperèz, e nasyon sa yo va sèvi wa Babylone nan pandan swasann-dis ane.”
12 But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
“Konsa, li va vin rive ke lè swasann-dis ane vin fini, Mwen va pini wa Babylone nan ak nasyon sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou inikite pa yo. Pou peyi Kaldeyen yo, Mwen va fè li vin yon dezolasyon nèt jis pou tout tan.
13 I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
Mwen va fè rive sou peyi sa a tout pawòl Mwen ke Mwen te pwononse kont li, tout sa ki ekri nan liv sa a, ke Jérémie te fè kon pwofesi kont tout nasyon sa yo.
14 For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
(Paske, anpil nasyon ak gwo wa va fè yo vin esklav, menm yo menm. Konsa, Mwen va rekonpanse yo selon zèv yo.)”
15 This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la di mwen: “Pran tas diven kòlè sa a soti nan men Mwen, e fè tout nasyon kote Mwen voye ou yo bwè l.
16 And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
Yo va bwè, kilbite e vin fou akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami yo.”
17 So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
Konsa, mwen te pran tas la nan men SENYÈ a, e mwen te fè tout nasyon sou sila SENYÈ a te voye mwen yo, bwè l:
18 to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;
Jérusalem ak vil Juda yo, wa pa li yo ak prens li yo, pou fè yo vin detwi nèt, yon gwo laperèz, yon objè k ap fè moun sifle anlè kon koulèv, yon madichon, jis jan sa ye jodi a;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
Farawon, wa Égypte la, sèvitè li yo, prens li yo ak tout pèp li a;
20 all the mixed tribes; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
epi tout etranje yo, tout wa peyi Uts yo, tout wa peyi Filisten yo, menm Askalon, Gaza, Ékron, ak sila ki rete Asdod yo;
21 Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
Édom, Moab ak fis Ammon yo;
22 all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;
epi tout wa Tyr yo, tout wa Sidon yo ak wa peyi kot ki lòtbò lanmè yo;
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;
Dedan ak Théma, ak Buz e tout sila ki koupe kwen cheve yo;
24 all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;
epi tout wa Arabie yo ak tout wa a pèp etranje ki rete nan dezè yo;
25 all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
epi tout wa Zimri yo, tout wa a Élam yo ak tout wa a Médie yo;
26 all the kings of the north, both near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach will drink it too.
epi tout wa nò yo, ni pre, ni lwen, youn avèk lòt; epi tout wayòm latè ki sou sifas tè a. Wa Schéschac la va bwè apre yo.
27 “Then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, because of the sword I will send among you.’
“Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, “Bwè, vin sou, vomi, tonbe e pa leve ankò akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami nou an.”’
28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘You most certainly must drink it!
Epi li va vin rive ke si yo refize pran tas la nan men ou pou bwè, alò ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Anverite, nou va bwè!
29 For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.’
Paske gade byen, Mwen ap kòmanse fè yon zèv k ap yon kalamite nan vil sa a, ki rele pa non Mwen an. Èske nou dwe konplètman chape anba pinisyon? Nou p ap chape anba pinisyon, paske Mwen ap fè apèl nepe a kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”’
30 So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“Akoz sa, ou va pwofetize kont yo ak tout pawòl sa yo. Ou va di yo: ‘SENYÈ a va gwonde fò depi anwo; vwa l va eksprime depi nan abitasyon sen li an. Li va gwonde ak pwisans kont bann mouton pa li an. Li va rele fò tankou sila k ap foule rezen yo, kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo.
31 The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’”
Yon zen va rive soti nan dènye ekstremite latè, akoz SENYÈ a gen yon kont pou regle ak tout nasyon yo. Li va antre nan jijman ak tout chè yo. Pou mechan yo, li va livre yo a nepe,’” deklare SENYÈ a.
32 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Gade byen, mal la va sòti vin parèt de nasyon a nasyon, e yon gwo tanpèt va tòde jis rive nan pwent pi lwen de mond lan.
33 Those slain by the LORD on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.
Sila ki touye pa SENYÈ yo nan jou sa a va soti nan yon pwent latè jis rive nan lòt la. Yo p ap kriye pou yo, vin ranmase yo, ni antere. Yo va tankou fimye bèt sou sifas latè.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For the days of your slaughter have come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
Kriye fò, nou menm k ap fè bèje yo; rele anmwey! Woule kò nou nan sann, nou menm ki mèt a bann mouton yo; paske jou a masak nou yo ak egzil la fin rive, e nou va tonbe kon veso pi chwazi a.
35 Flight will evade the shepherds, and escape will elude the leaders of the flock.
Sove ale pa p posib pou bèje yo. Mèt bann mouton yo p ap chape.
36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.
Tande kri a bèje yo, ak plent a mèt bann mouton yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a ap detwi patiraj yo,
37 The peaceful meadows have been silenced because of the LORD’s burning anger.
Epi pak mouton lapè yo tonbe an silans, akoz gwo kòlè SENYÈ a.”
38 He has left His den like a lion, for their land has been made a desolation by the sword of the oppressor, and because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Li soti nan kote kachèt Li yo kon lyon an, paske peyi yo te devni yon gwo laperèz akoz gwo vyolans nepe k ap oprime, e akoz gwo raj a kòlè Li.
