Jeremiah 36
1 Now it came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
Nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, pawòl sa a te rive a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a. Li te di:
2 Take a book and put down in it all the words I have said to you against Israel and against Judah and against all the nations, from the day when my word came to you in the days of Josiah till this day.
“Pran yon woulo e ekri sou li tout pawòl ke M te pale ou konsènan Israël, konsènan Juda, e konsènan tout nasyon yo, depi nan jou ke M te premyèman pale ak ou a, depi nan jou a Josias yo, jis pou rive nan jou sa a.
3 It may be that the people of Judah, hearing of all the evil which it is my purpose to do to them, will be turned, every man from his evil ways; so that they may have my forgiveness for their evil-doing and their sin.
Petèt, lakay Juda va tande afè tout malè ke M gen lentansyon fè rive yo, jiskaske tout moun va detounen kite chemen mechan pa yo; epi konsa, Mwen kapab padone inikite ak peche yo.”
4 Then Jeremiah sent for Baruch, the son of Neriah; and Baruch took down from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he had said to him, writing them in a book.
Konsa, Jérémie te rele Baruc, fis a Nérija a, e Baruc te ekri sou yon woulo, selon dikte Jérémie, tout pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale a li yo.
5 And Jeremiah gave orders to Baruch, saying, I am shut up, and am not able to go into the house of the Lord:
Jérémie te kòmande Baruc. Li te di: “Mwen limite. Mwen p ap ka antre lakay SENYÈ a.
6 So you are to go, reading there from the book, which you have taken down from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house, on a day when they go without food, and in the hearing of all the men of Judah who have come out from their towns.
Akoz sa, ou va ale li depi nan woulo ke ou te ekri selon dikte mwen an, pawòl a SENYÈ a. Li l a pèp lakay SENYÈ a nan yon jou jèn. Epi anplis, ou va li yo a tout pèp Juda a lè yo antre sòti nan vil yo.
7 It may be that their prayer for grace will go up to the Lord, and that every man will be turned from his evil ways: for great is the wrath and the passion made clear by the Lord against this people.
Petèt siplikasyon yo va vini devan SENYÈ a, e tout moun va detounen kite chemen mechan yo. Paske kòlè ak gwo mekontantman SENYÈ a pwononse kont pèp sa a, byen gran.”
8 And Baruch, the son of Neriah, did as Jeremiah the prophet gave him orders to do, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
Baruc, fis a Nérija a, te fè selon tout sa ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te kòmande li yo. Li te li nan woulo pawòl a SENYÈ a, lakay SENYÈ a.
9 Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.
Alò, nan senkyèm ane Jojakim lan, fis a Josias, wa a Juda a, nan nevyèm mwa a, tout pèp Jérusalem nan ak tout moun ki te antre soti nan vil Jérusalem yo, te pwoklame yon jèn devan SENYÈ a.
10 Then Baruch gave a public reading of the words of Jeremiah from the book, in the house of the Lord, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher square, as one goes in by the new doorway of the Lord's house, in the hearing of all the people.
Epi Baruc te li nan woulo pawòl a Jérémie yo lakay SENYÈ a nan chanm a Guemaria, fis Schaphan an, grefye nan tribinal anwo a, nan antre Pòtay Nèf la lakay SENYÈ a, devan tout pèp la.
11 And Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, after hearing all the words of the Lord from the book,
Alò, lè Michée, fis a Guemaria, fis a Schaphan an, te tande tout pawòl a SENYÈ a soti nan liv la,
12 Went down to the king's house, to the scribe's room: and all the rulers were seated there, Elishama the scribe and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the rulers.
Li te desann lakay wa a, nan chanm grefye a. Epi gade byen, tout ofisye yo te chita la—-Élischama, grefye a, Delaja, fis a Schemaeja a, Elnathan, fis a Acbor a, Guemaria, fis a Schaphan an e Sédécias, fis a Hanania a, ak tout lòt chèf yo.
13 Then Micaiah gave them an account of all the words which had come to his ears when Baruch was reading the book to the people.
Michée te deklare a yo menm tout pawòl ke li te tande lè Baruc te li soti nan liv a pèp la.
14 So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down to them.
Epi tout ofisye yo te voye Jehudi, fis a Nethania, fis a Schélémia, fis a Cuschi a, kote Baruc e te di: “Pran nan men ou woulo ke ou te li a pèp la e vini.” Konsa Baruc, fis a Nethania, te pran woulo a nan men l e te ale kote yo.
15 Then they said to him, Be seated now, and give us a reading from it. So Baruch did so, reading it to them.
Yo te di li: “Chita la, souple e li li bannou.” Konsa, Baruc te li li bay yo.
16 Now it came about that, after hearing all the words, they said to one another in fear, We will certainly give the king an account of all these words.
Lè yo te tande tout pawòl yo; ak gwo perèz, yo te vire youn vè lòt e yo te di a Baruc: “Anverite, nou va bay rapò tout pawòl sa yo bay wa a.”
17 And questioning Baruch, they said, Say now, how did you put all these words down in writing from his mouth?
Epi yo te mande Baruc e te di: “Di nou, souple, kijan ou te ekri tout pawòl sa yo? Èske se te selon dikte pa li?”
18 Then Baruch, answering, said, He said all these things to me by word of mouth, and I put them down with ink in the book.
Epi Baruc te di yo: “Li te dikte tout pawòl sa yo e mwen te ekri yo ak lank nan liv la.”
19 Then the rulers said to Baruch, Go and put yourself in a safe place, you and Jeremiah, and let no man have knowledge of where you are.
Alò, ofisye yo te di a Baruc: “Ale, kache tèt ou, ou menm ak Jérémie e pa kite pèsòn konnen kote nou ye.”
20 Then they went into the open square to the king; but the book they put away in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they gave the king an account of all the words.
Pou sa, yo te ale kote wa a nan lakou a, men yo te depoze woulo a nan chanm Élischama, grefye a, e yo te fè rapò tout pawòl sa yo a wa a.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the book, and he took it from the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi gave a reading of it in the hearing of the king and all the rulers who were by the king's side.
Epi wa a te voye Jehudi chache woulo a, e li te retire li nan chanm Élischama, grefye a. Epi Jehudi te li li bay wa a ansanm ak tout ofisye ki te kanpe akote wa a.
22 Now the king was seated in the winter house, and a fire was burning in the fireplace in front of him.
Alò, wa a te chita nan kay sezon livè a, nan nevyèm mwa a, ak dife ki t ap brile nan recho la devan l.
23 And it came about that whenever Jehudi, in his reading, had got through three or four divisions, the king, cutting them with his penknife, put them into the fire, till all the book was burned up in the fire which was burning in the fireplace.
Lè Jehudi te fin li twa oswa kat pòsyon, wa a te koupe li ak yon kouto e te jete li nan dife ki te nan recho a, jiskaske woulo a te fin manje nèt nan dife ki te nan recho a.
24 But they had no fear and gave no signs of grief, not the king or any of his servants, after hearing all these words.
Malgre sa, wa a ak tout sèvitè ki te tande pawòl sila yo pa t pè, ni yo pa t chire rad yo.
25 And Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made a strong request to the king not to let the book be burned, but he would not give ear to them.
Menmsi Elnathan, Delaja ak Guemaria te sipliye wa a pou l pa brile woulo a, li te refize koute yo.
26 And the king gave orders to Jerahmeel, the king's son, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord kept them safe.
Epi wa a te kòmande Jerachmeel, fis a wa a, Seraja, fis Azriel e Schélémia, fis a Abdeel, pou sezi Baruc, grefye a ak Jérémie, pwofèt la, men SENYÈ a te kache yo.
27 Then after the book, in which Baruch had put down the words of Jeremiah, had been burned by the king, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie lè wa a te fin brile woulo pawòl ke Baruc te ekri selon dikte Jérémie a e te di:
28 Take another book and put down in it all the words which were in the first book, which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, put into the fire.
“Pran ankò yon lòt woulo e ekri sou li tout menm pawòl ki te ekri sou premye woulo ke Jojakim, wa Juda a, te brile a.
29 And about Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: You have put this book into the fire, saying, Why have you put in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come, causing the destruction of this land and putting an end to every man and beast in it?
Epi konsènan Jojakim, wa Juda a, ou va di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ou te brile woulo sa a e ou te di: ‘Poukisa ou te ekri sou li ke wa Babylone nan va, anverite, vin detwi peyi sa a e va fè ni lòm ni bèt vin disparèt ladann?’”’
30 For this reason the Lord has said of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, He will have no son to take his place on the seat of David: his dead body will be put out to undergo the heat of the day and the cold of the night.
‘Akoz sa’, pale SENYÈ a konsènan Jojakim wa Juda a: “Li p ap gen okenn moun ki pou chita sou twòn David la, e kadav li va jete deyò nan chalè lajounen ak gwo fredi lannwit.
31 And I will send punishment on him and on his seed and on his servants for their evil-doing; I will send on them and on the people of Jerusalem and the men of Judah, all the evil which I said against them, but they did not give ear.
Anplis, Mwen va pini li ak desandan li yo ak sèvitè pou inikite yo, e Mwen va mennen sou yo ak sila k ap viv Jérusalem yo, ak mesye Juda yo, tout malè ke M te deklare a yo menm yo—men yo pa t koute.”’”
32 Then Jeremiah took another book, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who put down in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which had been burned in the fire by Jehoiakim, king of Judah: and in addition a number of other words of the same sort.
Epi Jérémie te pran yon lòt woulo. Li te bay li a Baruc, fis a Nérija a, grefye a, epi li te ekri sou li selon dikte a Jérémie, tout pawòl a liv ke Jojakim, wa Juda a te brile nan dife a; epi anpil pawòl parèy a yo te ajoute nan yo.
