Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, ki te di:
2 Thus speaketh Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Write thee in a book all the words that I have spoken unto thee.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Ekri tout pawòl ke M te bay ou yo nan yon liv.
3 For behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
Paske gade byen, jou yo ap vini,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘lè Mwen va restore fòtin pèp Mwen an, Israël ak Juda,’ Senyè a di. ‘Anplis, Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke m te bay a papa zansèt yo, e yo va posede li.’”
4 And these are the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah;
Alò, sila yo se pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale konsènan Israël e konsènan Juda:
5 for thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, there is fear, and no peace.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mwen te tande son a yon gwo laperèz, a yon gwo krent; pa gen lapè.
6 Ask ye now, and see, whether a male doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail; and all faces are turned into paleness?
Mande koulye a pou wè si yon gason kapab fè pitit. Poukisa Mwen wè tout gason ak men li sou ti vant yo, konsi se fanm k ap fè pitit? Epi poukisa tout figi yo vin pal konsa?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Elas, paske jou sa a gran, pa gen ki parèy a li. Li se lè a gwo doulè Jacob la; men li va sove de li.
8 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more reduce him to servitude.
“Li va vin rive nan jou sa a, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: ke Mwen va kase jouk li a soti sou kou nou. Mwen va chire kòd yo, e etranje yo p ap fè yo esklav ankò.
9 But they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
Men yo va sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a e David, wa yo a, ke Mwen va fè leve wo pou yo.
10 And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith Jehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
Pa pè anyen, O Jacob, sèvitè Mwen an,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi pa pèdi kouraj, O Israël; paske gade byen, Mwen va sove ou soti lwen e posterite ou soti nan peyi kaptivite yo. Jacob va retounen, Li va kalm, alèz, e nanpwen moun k ap fè l fè pè.
11 For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee; yet of thee will I not make a full end, but I will correct thee with judgment, and will not hold thee altogether guiltless.
Paske Mwen avèk ou, deklare SENYÈ a, pou sove ou; paske Mwen va detwi nèt tout nasyon kote Mwen te gaye ou yo, sèlman ou menm ke M p ap detwi nèt. Men m ap fè ou korije fil a mezi; Mwen p ap kite ou san pinisyon.”
12 For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is grievous.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Blesi ou yo pa kab geri, e kondisyon ou byen grav.
13 There is none to plead thy cause, to bind up [thy wound]; thou hast no healing medicines.
Nanpwen moun ki pou plede koz ou; pa gen gerizon pou maleng nan, ni ou p ap ka refè.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity: thy sins are manifold.
Tout moun ki renmen ou yo fin bliye ou, yo pa chache ou; paske Mwen te blese ou ak blesi a yon lènmi, ak pinisyon a yon moun ki mechan, akoz inikite ou gran e peche ou anpil.
15 Why criest thou because of thy bruise? thy sorrow is incurable; for the greatness of thine iniquity, [because] thy sins are manifold, I have done these things unto thee.
Poukisa w ap kriye akoz blesi ou yo? Doulè ou a pa gen gerizon. Akoz inikite ou yo gran e peche ou yo anpil, Mwen te fè ou sa a.
16 Therefore all that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be for a spoil; and all they that prey upon thee will I give to be a prey.
Akoz sa, tout sila ki devore ou yo va vin devore; epi tout advèsè ou yo, yo chak, yo va antre an kaptivite. Sila ki piyaje ou yo va tounen piyaj yo menm, e tout sila yo ki fè nou vin viktim yo, va vin viktim yo menm.
17 For I will apply a bandage unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; for they have called thee an outcast: This is Zion that no man seeketh after.
Paske M ap fè ou reprann lasante, e Mwen va geri ou de tout blesi ou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Akoz yo te rele ou yon rejte e yo te di: ‘Se Sion; nanpwen moun ki bezwen anyen ladan.’”
18 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his habitations; and the city shall be built upon her own heap; and the palace shall be inhabited after the manner thereof.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen va restore fòtin a tant a Jacob yo, e gen konpasyon pou lakay li yo; vil la va rebati sou ranblè li yo e palè a va kanpe nan pwòp plas li.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; and I will honour them, and they shall not be small.
Nan yo menm, va sòti remèsiman ak vwa a sila k ap fè fèt yo. Mwen va miltipliye yo e yo p ap diminye; anplis, Mwen va bay yo glwa, e yo p ap meprize;
20 And their sons shall be as aforetime; and their assembly shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them.
Pitit pa yo tou va tankou oparavan, e kongregasyon yo va etabli devan M. Mwen va pini tout sila k ap oprime yo.
21 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to approach, and he shall draw near unto me. For who is this that engageth his heart to draw near unto me? saith Jehovah.
Chèf pa yo va youn nan yo, e sila ki gouvène yo va sòti nan mitan yo. Mwen va mennen li toupre, e li va vin toupre Mwen; paske se kilès ki ta gen kouraj pou pwoche M?” deklare SENYÈ a.
22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
“Nou va vin pèp Mwen e Mwen va vin Bondye pa nou.”
23 Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked.
Gade byen, tanpèt SENYÈ a, kòlè Li fin depanse nèt, yon tanpèt k ap ravaje; li va eklate sou tèt a mechan yo.
24 The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart. At the end of the days ye shall consider it.
Kòlè fewòs SENYÈ a p ap detounen jiskaske li fin fè, jiskaske li fin acheve entansyon a kè Li. Nan dènye jou yo, ou va konprann sa.”
