< Jeremiah 36 >

1 And it happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: it happened 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 the volume of a book, and you shall write in it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah, and against all the nations, from the day when I first spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to 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 Perhaps it may be that the house of Judah, upon hearing all the evils that I have decided to do to them, may return, each one from his wicked way, and then I will forgive their iniquity 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 Therefore, Jeremiah called Baruch, the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord, which he had spoken to him, in the volume of 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 instructed Baruch, saying: “I am confined, and so I am unable to enter into the house of the Lord.
Jérémie te kòmande Baruc. Li te di: “Mwen limite. Mwen p ap ka antre lakay SENYÈ a.
6 Therefore, you shall enter and read from the volume, in which you have written from my mouth the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the house of the Lord on the day of the fast. Moreover, you shall also read them in the hearing of all those of Judah who are arriving from their cities.
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 Perhaps it may happen that they pray in the sight of the Lord, and each one may return from his wicked way. For great is the fury and indignation that the Lord has declared 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, acted in accord with all that Jeremiah, the prophet, had instructed him, reading from the volume the words of the Lord, in the house of the Lord.
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 And it happened that, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, in the ninth month, they proclaimed a fast, in the sight of the Lord, to all the people in Jerusalem, and to the entire multitude which had flowed together, from the cities of Judah, into Jerusalem.
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 And Baruch read from the volume the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, at the treasury of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper vestibule, at the entrance to the new gate of the house of the Lord, 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 when Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard 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 he descended to the house of the king, to the treasury of the scribe. And behold, all the leaders were sitting 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 leaders.
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 And Micaiah announced to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the volume to the ears of 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 And so, all the leaders sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, “Take in your hand the volume, from which you have read in the hearing of the people, and come.” Therefore, Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the volume in his hand, and he went 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 And they said to him, “Sit and read these things in our hearing.” And Baruch read in their hearing.
Yo te di li: “Chita la, souple e li li bannou.” Konsa, Baruc te li li bay yo.
16 Therefore, when they had heard all the words, each one looked at his neighbor in astonishment, and they said to Baruch: “We ought to report all these words to the king.”
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 they questioned him, saying, “Describe to us how you wrote all these words 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 said to them: “He was speaking with his mouth, as if reading to me. And I wrote in a volume with ink.”
Epi Baruc te di yo: “Li te dikte tout pawòl sa yo e mwen te ekri yo ak lank nan liv la.”
19 And the leaders said to Baruch: “Go away and hide, you and Jeremiah, and let no one know 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 And they entered to the king, in the court. Furthermore, they stored the volume in the treasury of Elishama, the scribe. And they announced all the words in the hearing of the king.
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 And the king sent Jehudi to take the volume. And bringing it from the treasury of Elishama, the scribe, he read it in the hearing of the king and of all the leaders who were standing around the king.
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 sitting in the winter house, in the ninth month. And there was a hearth placed before him, filled with burning coals.
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 when Jehudi had read three or four pages, he cut it with a small knife, and he threw it into the fire which was upon the hearth, until the entire volume was consumed by the fire which was upon the hearth.
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 And the king and all his servants, who had heard all these words, were not afraid, and they did not rend their garments.
Malgre sa, wa a ak tout sèvitè ki te tande pawòl sila yo pa t pè, ni yo pa t chire rad yo.
25 Yet truly, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah contradicted the king, so that he might not burn the book. But he did not listen 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 instructed Jerahmeel, the son of Amelech, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, so that they would apprehend Baruch, the scribe, and Jeremiah, the prophet. But the Lord concealed them.
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 And after the king had burned the volume and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, 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 “Again, take another volume and write in it all the former words, which were in the first volume that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, has burned.
“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 you shall say to Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: Thus says the Lord: You have burned that volume, saying: ‘Why have you written in it, announcing that the king of Babylon will advance quickly, and will devastate this land, and will cause both man and beast to cease from 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 Because of this, thus says the Lord against Jehoiakim, the king of Judah: There will be, from him, no one who may sit upon the throne of David. And his dead body shall be cast out: to the heat by day, and to the frost by 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 visit against him, and against his offspring, and against his servants for their iniquities. And I will lead over them, and over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and over the men of Judah, all the evil that I have declared against them, for they have not listened.”
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 up another volume, and he gave it to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the scribe, who wrote in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book that Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, had burned with fire. And moreover, there were many more words added than there had been before.
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.
