Jeremias 33
1 IN THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF KING JOAKIM SON OF JOSIAS THERE CAME THIS WORD FROM THE LORD.
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie yon dezyèm fwa, pandan li te toujou nan prizon nan lakou gad la. Li te di:
2 Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and you shall declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded you to speak to them; abate not one word.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a ki te fè tè a, SENYÈ a ki te fòme li pou etabli li a—SENYÈ a se non Li.
3 Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.
‘Rele Mwen, Mwen va reponn ou e Mwen va di ou gwo bagay pwisan ke ou pa t janm konnen.’
4 And you shall say, Thus said the Lord; If you will not listen to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ Israël la konsènan kay nan vil sa yo, e konsènan kay a wa a Juda k ap vin kraze pou fè yon ranpa kont balkon tè syèj yo e kont nepe a,
5 to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yes, I sent them, but you listened not to me;
‘pandan y ap vini pou goumen kont Kaldeyen yo e pou plen yo ak kadav moun ke M te masakre nan kòlè Mwen ak gwo kòlè Mwen yo, epi Mwen te kache figi M kont vil sa a, akoz tout mechanste yo,
6 then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.
‘gade byen, Mwen va mennen kote li lasante ak gerizon, e Mwen va geri yo. Epi Mwen va montre yo lapè ak verite an abondans.
7 And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.
Mwen va restore bonè a Juda ak bonè a Israël, e Mwen va rebati yo jan yo te ye o kòmansman an.
8 And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,
Mwen va netwaye yo de tout inikite avèk sila yo te peche kont Mwen yo. Mwen va padone tout inikite pa sila yo te peche kont Mwen yo e pa sila yo te fè transgresyon kont Mwen yo.
9 You shall surely die, because you have prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.
Vil sa va pou Mwen yon non lajwa, lwanj ak laglwa devan tout nasyon latè yo, ki va tande afè tout byen ke M fè pou yo. Yo va gen lakrent e tranble akoz tout byen ak tout lapè ke M fè pou li.’”
10 And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Yon fwa ankò yo va tande nan plas sa a, sou sa ou w ap di a: ‘Sa se yon dezè, san moun e san bèt, sa vle di nan vil a Juda yo ak ri Jérusalem yo, ki dezole, san moun e san pèsòn ni bèt pou rete ladann,’
11 Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgement of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.
vwa lajwa a ak vwa kè kontan, vwa a yon jennonm ki fenk marye e vwa a jenn fi maryaj la, vwa a sila k ap di yo: ‘Bay remèsiman a SENYÈ dèzame yo, paske SENYÈ a bon, paske lanmou dous Li dire jis pou tout tan’; k ap pote yon ofrann remèsiman antre lakay SENYÈ a. Paske Mwen va restore bonè a peyi a jan li te ye oparavan an,” pale SENYÈ a.
12 Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which you have heard.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Va ankò gen nan plas sa a ki dezè, ki san moun, ni bèt e nan tout vil li yo, yon kote pou bèje k ap okipe bann mouton yo rete.
13 And now amend your ways and your works, and listen to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.
Nan vil a peyi kolin yo, nan vil a ba plèn yo, nan vil a dezè yo, nan peyi Benjamin an, nan andwa a Jérusalem yo e nan vil a Juda yo, bann mouton yo va ankò pase anba men a sila k ap konte yo a,” pale SENYÈ a.
14 And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.
“Gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Lè Mwen va akonpli bon pawòl la Mwen te pale konsènan lakay Israël la ak lakay Juda a.
15 But know for a certainty, that if you kill me, you bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.
“Nan jou sa yo e nan lè sa a, Mwen va fè yon Branch ladwati a David pete vin parèt. Li va egzekite lajistis ak ladwati sou tout latè.
16 Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgement of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.
Nan jou sa yo, Juda va vin sove e Jérusalem va ansekirite. Men non pa sila li va rele a: SENYÈ a se ladwati nou.”
17 And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,
“Paske, se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘David p ap janm manke yon nonm pou chita sou twòn lakay Israël la.
18 Michaeas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus says the Lord; Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.
Konsa, prèt Levit yo p ap janm manke yon nonm devan Mwen, pou ofri ofrann brile, pou brile ofrann sereyal e pou prepare sakrifis yo tout tan san rete.’”
19 Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way kill him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie e te di:
20 And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samaeas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Si ou ka kraze akò Mwen an pou jounen an, e akò Mwen an pou nwit lan, pou jou sa a ak nwit sa a pa rive nan lè deziye yo,
21 And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to kill him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt.
alò, konsa sèlman, akò Mwen an kab kraze avèk David, Sèvitè Mwen an, pou li pa gen yon fis pou renye sou twòn li an e avèk prèt Levit yo, pou ministè pa m yo.
22 And the king sent men into Egypt;
Tankou lame syèl la pa ka konte e sab lanmè a pa ka mezire, konsa Mwen va miltipliye desandan a David yo, sèvitè Mwen an ak Levit ki sèvi Mwen yo.’”
23 and they brought him thence, and brought him into the king; and he struck him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie. Li te di:
24 Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.
“Pa okipe bagay pèp sa a te pale, lè yo di: ‘De fanmi ke SENYÈ a te chwazi yo, Li te fin rejte yo’? Konsa, yo meprize pèp Mwen an; yo pa menm ankò tankou yon nasyon nan zye yo.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Si akò Mwen an pou lajounen ak lannwit pa kanpe, epi aranjman ki òdone nan syèl yo pa t fèt pa Mwen menm,
alò, sèl konsa, Mwen ta rejte desandan a Jacob yo ak David, sèvitè Mwen an e pa chwazi pami desandan li yo chèf sou desandan a Abraham, Issac ak Jacob yo. Men Mwen va restore bonè pa yo, e Mwen va genyen mizerikòd pou yo.’”
