Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, became king in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.
Alò, Sédécias, fis a Josias ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè wa nan peyi Juda a, te renye kon wa nan plas a Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan.
2 But he and his servants and the people of the land did not give ear to the words of the Lord which he said by Jeremiah the prophet.
Men ni li menm, ni sèvitè li yo, ni pèp peyi a te koute pawòl SENYÈ a, ke li te pale pa Jérémie, pwofèt la.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.
Men wa Sédécias te voye Jucal, fis a Schélémia a, ak Sophonie, fis a Maaséja a, kote Jérémie, pwofèt la. Li te di: “Souple, priye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou menm.”
4 (Now Jeremiah was going about among the people, for they had not put him in prison.
Alò, Jérémie te toujou ap sikile pami pèp la, paske yo potko mete l nan prizon.
5 And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.)
Antretan, lame Farawon an te gen tan sòti an Égypte; epi lè Kaldeyen ki t ap fè syèj Jérusalem yo te tande rapò de yo a, yo te leve syèj la sou Jérusalem.
6 Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie, pwofèt la e te di:
7 The Lord, the God of Israel, has said: This is what you are to say to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from me: See, Pharaoh's army, which has come out to your help, will go back to Egypt, to their land.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Konsa nou va di a wa Juda a, ki te voye nou kote m pou mande konsèy la: “Gade byen, lame Farawon ki te vin parèt pou bannou asistans lan va retounen nan pwòp peyi li an Égypte.
8 And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.
Kaldeyen yo va retounen pou goumen kont vil sa a, e yo va pran l pou brile l ak dife.”’”
9 The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Pa twonpe tèt nou pou nou di: “Kaldeyen yo vrèman va kite nou”, paske vrèman, yo pa prale.
10 For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire.
Paske menm si nou te bat tout lame Kaldeyen ki t ap goumen kont nou yo e te gen sèlman moun blese ki rete pami yo, yo chak nan tant pa yo, yo ta soulve e brile vil sa a ak dife.’”
11 And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè lame Kaldeyen an te leve syèj Jérusalem nan akoz lame Farawon an,
12 Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, with the purpose of taking up his heritage there among the people.
ke Jérémie te sòti deyò Jérusalem pou ale nan peyi Benjamin pou l ta ka pran posesyon a yon teren pami pèp la.
13 But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans.
Pandan li te kote Pòtay Benjamin an, yon kapitèn nan gad la ki te rele Jireija, fis a Schélémia, fis a Hanania a, te la. Li te arete Jérémie, pwofèt la e te di: “W ap vin apiye Kaldeyen yo!”
14 Then Jeremiah said, That is not true; I am not going to the Chaldaeans. But he would not give ear to him: so Irijah made him prisoner and took him to the rulers.
Men Jérémie te di: “Manti! Mwen p ap apiye Kaldeyen yo”. Men li te refize koute li. Konsa, Jireija te arete Jérémie e te mennen li kote ofisye yo.
15 And the rulers were angry with Jeremiah, and gave him blows and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Ofisye yo te fache ak Jérémie. Yo te bat li e yo te anprizone li lakay Jonathan, grefye a, ke yo te sèvi pou prizon.
16 So Jeremiah came into the hole of the prison, under the arches, and was there for a long time.
Lè Jérémie te fin rive nan donjon an, sa vle di, yon chanm prizon, li te rete la pandan anpil jou.
17 Then King Zedekiah sent and got him out: and the king, questioning him secretly in his house, said, Is there any word from the Lord? And Jeremiah said, There is. Then he said, You will be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon.
Konsa, Wa Sédécias te voye retire li. Nan palè li, wa a an sekrè te kesyone l. Li te mande: “Èske gen yon pawòl ki sòti nan SENYÈ a?” Jérémie te reponn: “Wi, genyen!” Epi li te di: “Ou va livre nan men wa a Babylone nan.”
18 Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison?
Anplis, Jérémie te di a Wa Sédécias: “Nan ki fason mwen te peche kont ou an, oswa kont sèvitè ou yo, oswa kont pèp sa a, pou ou te mete m nan prizon an?
19 Where now are your prophets who said to you, The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land?
Alò, ki kote pwofèt ki te pwofetize devan ou ye, ki t ap di: ‘Wa Babylone nan p ap parèt kont nou, ni kont peyi sa a’?
20 And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.
Men koulye a, souple, koute mwen, O mèt mwen, e wa mwen: souple, kite demann mwen an rive devan ou, e pa fè m retounen lakay Jonathan, grefye a, pou mwen pa mouri la.”
21 Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.
Epi Wa Sédécias te pase lòd e yo te pase lòd selon Jérémie pou l rete nan lakou kay gad la. Yo te bay li yon pen ki sòti nan lari boulanje a, jiskaske tout pen nan vil la te fini nèt. Konsa, Jérémie te rete nan lakou kay gad la.
