Jeremias 34
1 Thus said the Lord; Make to yourself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about your neck,
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, lè Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, ak tout lame li a, ak tout wayòm latè ki te anba pouvwa l yo ak tout pèp yo, t ap goumen kont Jérusalem e kont tout vil li yo, ki te di:
Konsa pale SENYÈ Bondye Israël la: “Ale pale a Sédécias, wa Juda a, epi di li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen ap bay vil sa a pou antre nan men a wa Babylone nan, e li va brile li ak dife.
3 and you shall send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda.
Ou p ap chape nan men l, paske anverite, ou va kapte e va livre nan men l. Konsa, zye ou va wè wa Babylone nan. Li va pale avèk ou fasafas. Se nan Babylone ou prale.”’”
4 And you shall commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your lords;
“Sepandan, tande pawòl SENYÈ a, O Sédécias, wa Juda a. Konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan ou menm, ‘Ou p ap mouri pa nepe.
5 I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whoever it shall seem [good] in mine eyes.
Ou va mouri anpè. Tankou epis yo te brile pou antèman papa zansèt ou yo, ansyen wa ki te avan ou yo, se konsa yo va brile epis pou ou. Yo va fè kri dèy pou ou: “Anmwey mèt nou an”, paske se Mwen ki bay mo sa a’ deklare SENYÈ a.”
6 I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labour for him.
Epi Jérémie te pale tout pawòl sila yo a Sédécias, wa Juda nan Jérusalem
lè lame a wa Babylone nan te goumen kont Jérusalem e kont tout rès vil Juda yo; konsi, Lakis ak Azéka, paske se sèl yo ki te rete kon vil fòtifye pami vil a Juda yo.
8 And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, says the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand.
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a apre Wa Sédécias te fin fè yon antant ak tout moun ki te Jérusalem yo pou libere yo:
9 And listen you not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretell events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, You shall by no means work for the king of Babylon:
pou chak moun ta bay libète a sèvitè li e chak moun a sèvant li, yon gason Ebre oswa yon fanm Ebre; pou pèsòn pa ta kenbe yo, yon Jwif frè parèy yo, nan esklavaj.
10 for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land.
Epi tout ofisye yo ak tout pèp la te obeyi a sila ki te antre nan akò a, ke chan moun ta libere sèvitè ak sèvant li yo, pou okenn moun pa ta kenbe yo an esklavaj. Yo te obeyi e te bay yo libète.
11 But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it.
Men apre yo te fin vire, yo te reprann sèvitè ak sèvant ke yo te bay libète yo, e te fè yo soumèt ankò nan wòl sèvitè ak sèvant yo.
12 I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke], and serve the king of Babylon.
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a. Li te di:
Konsa pale SENYÈ Bondye Israël la: Mwen te fè yon akò ak papa zansèt nou yo nan jou ke M te mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la, soti nan kay esklavaj la. Mwen te di:
14 For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,
Nan fen sèt ane yo, nou chak va libere frè Ebre ki te vann a li menm nan, e ki te sèvi nou pandan sis ane yo. Yo va voye li lib de nou menm. Men papa zansèt nou yo pa t obeyi Mwen, ni pa t panche zòrèy yo kote Mwen.
15 for I sent them not, says the Lord; and they prophesy [in] my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and you should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you.
Malgre sa, nan tan sa a, nou te vire fè sa ki dwat nan zye M, chak moun te pwoklame libète a vwazen li e nou te fè yon akò avèk Mwen nan kay ki rele pa non Mwen an.
16 I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Listen not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous [words].
Men koulye a, nou te vire derespekte non Mwen, chak moun te reprann sèvitè ak sèvant ke nou te libere selon dezi yo, e nou te fè yo vin soumèt pou devni ankò sèvitè ak sèvant nou.
17 I sent them not.
Akoz sa, pale SENYÈ a: “Nou pa t obeyi Mwen nan pwoklame libète chak mesye a frè li, e chak mesye a vwazen li, gade byen, Mwen ap pwoklame libète pou nou,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou nepe a, pou envazyon ensèk ak maladi, pou gwo grangou. Konsa, Mwen va fè nou vin yon objè lèd e degoutan pou tout wayòm yo sou latè yo.
18 If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said.
Mwen va bay mesye ki te transgrese akò Mwen yo, ki pa t akonpli pawòl a akò ke yo te fè devan M, lè yo te koupe jenn bèf lan an de mòso pou te pase nan mitan de pati li yo—
19 And as for the remaining vessels,
Ofisyèl a Juda yo, ak ofisyèl a Jérusalem yo, ofisye tribinal la e prèt ak tout pèp peyi ki te pase antre de pati jenn bèf la—
20 which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem,
Mwen va livre yo nan men a lènmi yo, e nan men a sila k ap chache pran lavi yo. Epi kadav yo va sèvi kon manje pou zwazo syèl yo, ak bèt sovaj latè yo.
“Sédécias, wa Juda a, ak ofisye pa l yo, Mwen va livre yo nan men lènmi pa yo, nan men a sila k ap chache lavi yo ak nan men a lame Babylone ki te ale kite nou an.
22 they shall go into Babylon, says the Lord.
Gade byen, Mwen va pase lòd”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan vil sa a. Konsa, yo va goumen kont li, pran li e brile li ak dife, epi Mwen va fè lavil Juda yo vin yon kote dezète san moun ki rete ladan yo.”
