Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah (that is, the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),
Seyè a te bay Jeremi yon mesaj sou pèp peyi Jida a, nan katriyèm lanne rèy wa Jojakim, pitit Jozyas, nan peyi Jida. Lè sa a, Nèbikadneza te nan premye lanne li depi li te wa peyi Babilòn.
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto all the people of Judah and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
Men mesaj pwofèt Jeremi te bay tout pèp peyi Jida a ak tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, the king of Judah, even unto this day, these three and twenty years, the word of Jehovah hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
-Depi trèzyèm lanne rèy wa Jozyas, pitit Amon, nan peyi Jida rive jòdi a, sa fè venntwazan depi Seyè a ap pale avè m', venntwazan depi m'ap pale ak nou san rete, nou pa vle koute m'.
4 And Jehovah hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear,
Seyè a pa janm sispann voye pwofèt li yo, sèvitè l' yo, ban nou. Men nou pa vle koute yo, nou derefize louvri zòrèy nou pou nou tande yo.
5 when they said, Turn again now every one from his evil way, and from the wickedness of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah hath given unto you and to your fathers from of old even for ever.
Yo te di nou pou nou manyè kite vye chemen nou t'ap swiv yo, pou nou manyè sispann fè sa ki mal. Konsa, nou ta ka viv toujou nan peyi Seyè a te ban nou an, peyi li te bay zansèt nou yo pou tout tan tout tan an.
6 And go not after other gods, to serve them and to worship them; and provoke me not to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
Pwofèt yo di nou: Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye, pa fè sèvis pou yo, pa mete ajenou devan yo. Pa sèvi zidòl nou fè ak men nou pou Seyè a pa fache. Konsa, si nou obeyi Seyè a li p'ap pini nou.
7 But ye have not hearkened unto me, saith Jehovah; that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, to your own hurt.
Men, se Seyè a menm ki di sa, nou derefize koute l'. Nou fè l' fache ak zidòl nou fè ak men nou. Se konsa nou rale malè sou tèt nou.
8 Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Because ye have not listened to my words,
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Paske nou pa koute m' lè m' pale nou,
9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith Jehovah, and [I will send] to Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual wastes.
mwen pral voye chache tout moun ki bò nò yo ansanm ak sèvitè m' lan, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Mwen pral fè yo vin kraze peyi Jida a ak tout moun ki rete ladan l' yo ansanm ak tout peyi nan vwazinaj yo. Mwen pral detwi yo tout. M'ap fè yo tounen yon dezè ki va fè moun sezi, yon pil mazi pou tout tan.
10 And I will cause to perish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.
M'ap fè yo p'ap tande moun ap pran plezi yo la. Yo p'ap tande vwa moun ki gen kè kontan. Yo p'ap tande yo fè fèt pou moun k'ap marye. M'ap fè p'ap gen grenn pou moulen, p'ap gen lwil pou mete nan lanp.
11 And this whole land shall become a waste, an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Tout peyi a pral kraze tounen mazi, yon dezè. Nasyon ki nan vwazinaj yo pral sèvi wa Babilòn lan pandan swasanndizan.
12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, [that] I will visit on the king of Babylon and on that nation, saith Jehovah, their iniquity, and on the land of the Chaldeans, and I will make it perpetual desolations.
Apre swasanndizan sa yo, m'a pini wa Babilòn lan ansanm ak pèp li a pou peche yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. M'ap detwi peyi moun Kalde yo, m'ap fè l' tounen mazi pou tout tan.
13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
M'ap voye sou peyi Babilòn lan tout malè mwen te di m'ap voye yo, tou sa pwofèt Jeremi te fè konnen nan non mwen sou nasyon yo, jan sa ekri nan liv sa a.
14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.
Yo menm tou moun Babilòn yo, anpil lòt nasyon ak gran wa va fè yo tounen esklav. M'ap fè yo peye pou tou sa yo fè.
15 For thus hath Jehovah the God of Israel said unto me: Take the cup of the wine of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send thee to drink it.
Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di m': -Men yon gode plen diven kòlè Bondye nan men m'. Pran li, pote l' bay tout moun nan peyi kote m'ap voye ou yo pou yo bwè.
16 And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
Y'a bwè, pye yo ap trese, y'a pèdi tèt yo lè y'a wè lagè m'ap voye nan mitan yo.
17 And I took the cup at Jehovah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Jehovah had sent me:
Se konsa, mwen pran gode a nan men Seyè a, mwen pote l' bay tout moun nan tout peyi kote Seyè a te voye m' lan, mwen fè yo bwè ladan l'.
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a waste, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
Mwen fè moun lavil Jerizalèm ak moun lavil Jida yo bwè ladan l' ansanm ak wa yo, chèf yo, pou lavil yo ka tounen mazi, yon dezè pou moun mete men nan tèt lè yo wè sa, pou moun sèvi ak non yo pou bay madichon, jan y'ap fè l' jouk koulye a.
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Men moun mwen fè bwè nan gode a tou: Farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ansanm ak sòlda li yo, chèf li yo ak tout pèp li a,
20 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
tout ras moun ki rete bò solèy kouche yo ansanm ak tout wa peyi Ouz yo, tout wa nan peyi Filisti yo: wa lavil Askalon, wa lavil Gaza, wa lavil Ekwon, wa ki rete nan lavil Asdòd,
21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;
moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab ak moun Amon yo,
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea;
tout wa peyi Tir yo, wa peyi Sidon ak wa tout peyi ki lòt bò lanmè Mediterane a,
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off;
moun lavil Dedan, moun lavil Teman ak moun lavil Bouz, ansanm ak tout moun ki koupe cheve nan tèt yo kout,
24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert;
tout wa peyi Arabi yo, tout wa ki rete nan dezè bò solèy kouche a,
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
tout wa Zimri yo, tout wa Elam yo ak tout wa Medi yo,
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth; and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
tout wa ki sou bò nò yo, sa ki lwen yo ak sa ki pre yo, yonn apre lòt. Tout nasyon ki sou latè gen pou bwè ladan l'. Apre yo tout, se va tou pa wa lavil Babilòn lan pou l' bwè ladan l' tou.
27 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, and be drunken, and vomit, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword that I will send among you.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: W'a di yo men lòd Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la bay. Se pou yo bwè pou yo sou, jouk yo vonmi. Y'a tonbe, yo p'ap ka leve lè y'a wè lagè m'ap voye sou yo a.
28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Ye shall certainly drink.
Si yo ta rive refize pran gode a nan men ou pou yo pa bwè ladan l', w'a di yo: Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di wè pa wè se pou yo bwè l'.
29 For behold, I begin to bring evil on the city that is called by my name, and should ye be altogether unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished; for I call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Premye kote m'ap konmanse fè malè, se va lavil yo mete apa pou mwen an. Atò, se nou menm ki pou pa ta resevwa pinisyon nou? Non, nou p'ap chape, paske mwen pral voye lagè sou tout moun sou latè. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
30 And thou, prophesy unto them all these words, and say unto them, Jehovah will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar upon his dwelling-place, he will give a shout, as they that tread [the vintage], against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Ou menm, Jeremi, se pou ou fè yo konnen tou sa mwen di ou. W'a di yo: -Seyè a rete anwo nan syèl la, l'ap gwonde. Li rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, l'ap pale byen fò. L'ap gwonde anwo pèp li a. L'ap rele tankou moun k'ap kraze rezen. Li move sou tout moun ki rete sou latè.
31 The noise shall come to the end of the earth: for Jehovah hath a controversy with the nations, he entereth into judgment with all flesh; as for the wicked, he will give them up to the sword, saith Jehovah.
Bri a rive nan zòrèy moun toupatou sou latè. Seyè a gen yon kont pou l' regle ak nasyon yo. Li rele yo tout nan tribinal. L'ap fè touye tout moun ki antò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
32 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: -Malè a pral tonbe sou nasyon yo yonn apre lòt, yon gwo van tanpèt ap moute soti nan bout latè.
33 And the slain of Jehovah shall [be] at that day from [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the face of the ground.
Jou sa a, depi yon bout latè rive lòt bout la, se va kadav moun Seyè a pral touye. P'ap gen pesonn pou kriye pou yo, pesonn pou ranmase yo atè a, pesonn pou antere yo. Kadav yo va tounen fimye atè a.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in the dust], noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel.
Nou menm chèf ki reskonsab pèp la, rele anmwe, woule kò nou atè. Lè a rive pou yo koupe tèt nou. Yo pral gaye nou. Nou pral tonbe atè. Nou pral kraze tankou bèl potich ki koute chè.
35 And refuge shall perish from the shepherds, and escape from the noble ones of the flock.
P'ap gen kote pou chèf yo al kache. P'ap gen kote pou moun ki reskonsab pran swen pèp la ka ale pou yo jwenn pwoteksyon.
36 There shall be a voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the noble ones of the flock: for Jehovah layeth waste their pasture;
Y'ap tande chèf yo ap rele, y'ap tande yo ap rele anmwe, paske Seyè a pral ravaje peyi yo.
37 and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
Tout bèl peyi yo pral tounen mazi, paske Seyè a move anpil.
38 He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
Tankou yon lyon ki kouri kite twou li, tout moun ap mete deyò. Peyi a pral tounen yon dezè apre lagè san manman sa a, apre gwo kòlè Seyè a.
