Jeremiah 26
1 At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:
Lè sa a, Jojakim, pitit Jozyas la, te fèk moute wa nan peyi Jida. Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò.
2 “This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.
Men sa Seyè a di l': -Ale kanpe nan lakou tanp lan. Ou pral di tou sa mwen te ba ou lòd di sou moun ki soti nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo pou vin adore nan Kay Seyè a. Pa wete anyen.
3 Perhaps they will listen and turn—each from his evil way of life—so that I may relent of the disaster I am planning to bring upon them because of the evil of their deeds.
Ou pa janm konnen, yo ka koute ou, yo ka pran desizyon yonn apre lòt pou yo kite move jan y'ap viv la. Mwen fè lide voye malè sou yo pou tou sa yo te fè ki mal. Men, si yo koute ou, m'a chanje lide.
4 And you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘If you do not listen to Me and walk in My law, which I have set before you,
Konsa, w'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè a bay: Koute m', swiv lòd mwen mete devan nou.
5 and if you do not listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I have sent you again and again even though you did not listen,
Louvri zòrèy nou tande mesaj pwofèt yo, sèvitè m' yo. Se mwen menm ki pa janm sispann voye yo ban nou, men nou pa vle koute yo.
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and I will make this city an object of cursing among all the nations of the earth.’”
Si nou pa koute yo, m'ap kraze tanp sa a menm jan mwen te detwi kote yo te mete apa pou mwen lavil Silo a. Nan tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè, y'a pran non lavil sa a pou bay madichon.
7 Now the priests and prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD,
Prèt yo, pwofèt yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te la yo tande Jeremi ap bay mesaj sa a nan lakou Tanp lan.
8 and as soon as he had finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people seized him, shouting, “You must surely die!
Fini Jeremi fin bay mesaj Seyè a te ba li lòd bay pèp la, prèt yo, pwofèt yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te la yo mete men sou li. Yo pran rele: -Se pou yo touye ou pou sa ou sot di la a!
9 How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will be desolate and deserted!” And all the people assembled against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
Poukisa ou pran non Seyè a pou ou di li pral kraze tanp sa a menm jan li te detwi kote yo te mete apa pou li lavil Silo a, li pral fè lavil la tounen mazi, san pesonn ladan l'? Tout pèp la sanble bò kot Jeremi nan Tanp Seyè a.
10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king’s palace to the house of the LORD and sat there at the entrance of the New Gate.
Lè chèf Jida yo vin konnen sa ki t'ap pase, yo kite palè wa a, yo kouri al nan tanp lan, y' al chita nan plas yo bò Pòtay Nèf la.
11 Then the priests and prophets said to the officials and all the people, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears!”
Prèt yo ak pwofèt yo pale ak chèf yo ansanm ak pèp la, yo di: -Nonm sa a merite pou yo touye l' paske li pale lavil Jerizalèm lan mal. Nou tout la a, nou tande l' ak pwòp zòrèy nou.
12 But Jeremiah said to all the officials and all the people, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
Lè sa a, Jeremi pale ak tout gwo chèf yo ansanm ak pèp la. Li di: -Se Seyè a ki voye m' pou m' fè nou konnen tou sa nou sot tande m' di la a sou Tanp lan ak sou lavil la.
13 So now, correct your ways and deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, so that He might relent of the disaster He has pronounced against you.
Koulye a, se pou nou chanje jan n'ap viv la, sispann fè sa ki mal. Koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap di nou. Lè sa a, l'a chanje lide, li p'ap voye malè li te di l'ap voye sou nou an.
14 As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right.
Mwen menm, mwen nan men nou. Fè sa nou vle avè m', sa nou kwè nou dwe fè a.
15 But know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its residents; for truly the LORD has sent me to speak all these words in your hearing.”
Tansèlman, si nou touye m', konnen se lanmò yon inonsan n'ap gen ni sou konsyans nou, ni sou konsyans moun ki rete nan lavil la. Paske, sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi, se Seyè a menm ki voye m' pou m' fè nou tande tout pawòl sa yo.
16 Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God!”
Lè sa a, gwo chèf yo ak tout pèp la pale ak prèt yo ansanm ak pwofèt yo. Yo di yo: -Pa gen anyen la a pou n' touye nonm sa a. Paske se nan non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, li pale ak nou.
17 Some of the elders of the land stood up and said to the whole assembly of the people,
Apre sa, kèk chèf fanmi kanpe epi yo di moun ki te sanble yo:
18 “Micah the Moreshite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and told all the people of Judah that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the temple mount a wooded ridge.’
-Sou rèy Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, pwofèt Miche, moun lavil Morechèt la, te bay tout pèp peyi Jida a mesaj sa a: Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: N'ap lakòz peyi Siyon an pral tankou yon jaden y'ap raboure. Jerizalèm ap tounen yon mazi. Gwo rakbwa pral kouvri tout mòn kote tanp lan ye a.
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone else in Judah put him to death? Did Hezekiah not fear the LORD and seek His favor, and did not the LORD relent of the disaster He had pronounced against them? But we are about to bring great harm on ourselves!”
Lè sa a, èske wa Ezekyas ak pèp peyi Jida a te fè touye pwofèt Miche? Non, yo fè wè jan yo te gen krentif Seyè a, yo mande l' pou l' gen pitye pou yo. Se konsa Seyè a chanje lide, li pa voye malè li te di l'ap voye sou yo a. Koulye a, nou soti pou nou rale yon gwo malè sou nou si nou fè nonm sa a anyen.
20 Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land the same things that Jeremiah did.
Te gen yon lòt nonm yo te rele Ouri ki t'ap pale nan non Bondye. Se te pitit Chemaya, moun lavil Kiriyat Jearim. Li menm tou, tankou Jeremi, li t'ap pale nan non Bondye sou lavil Jerizalèm ak sou peyi Jida.
21 King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.
Lè wa Jojakim, gad li yo ansanm ak tout chèf li yo tande sa li t'ap di, wa a t'ap chache yon jan pou touye li. Ouri vin konn sa, li pè, li kouri al kache nan peyi Lejip.
22 Then King Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt: Elnathan son of Achbor along with some other men.
Se konsa, wa Jojakim voye Elnatan, pitit Akbò, ansanm ak kèk lòt gason nan peyi Lejip al chache msye.
23 They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him put to the sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.
Yo pran Ouri nan peyi Lejip, yo mennen l' bay wa a. Wa a fè yo touye l'. Lèfini, yo jete kadav li nan gwo fòs endijan yo.
24 Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death.
Men, Akikam, pitit Chafan an, t'ap pwoteje Jeremi. Se konsa li pa t' kite yo lage Jeremi nan men pèp la pou yo te touye l'.
