< Jeremiah 25 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, (the same is the first year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, )
Pawòl ki te rive kote Jérémie konsènan tout pèp a Juda a, nan katriyèm ane a Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, (ki te nan premye ane Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan),
2 Which Jeremias the prophet spoke to all the people of Juda, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te pale a tout pèp Juda a e a tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem yo. Li te di:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josias the son of Ammon king of Juda until this day: this is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising before day, and speaking, and you have not hearkened.
Depi nan trèzyèm ane Josias, fis a Amon an, wa Juda a, menm rive nan jou sa a, pandan venn-twazan sila yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Konsa, mwen te pale avèk nou; mwen te leve bonè pou pale ak nou, men nou pa t koute, ni nou pa t panche zòrèy nou pou tande.
4 And the Lord hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ears to hear.
SENYÈ a te voye bannou tout sèvitè Li yo ak pwofèt yo. Li te leve bonè pou voye yo, men nou pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy nou pou koute,
5 When he said: Return ye, every one from his evil way, and from your wicked devices, and you shall dwell in the land which the Lord hath given to you, and your fathers for ever and ever.
Li te di: “Vire koulye a nou tout e kite wout mechan nou, mechanste a zak nou yo pou vin rete nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou ak papa zansèt nou yo pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan.
6 And go not after strange gods to serve them, and adore them: nor provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands, and I will not afflict you.
Pa mache dèyè lòt dye pou sèvi e adore yo, ni pa pwovoke M a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo. Konsa, Mwen p ap fè nou okenn mal.”
7 And you have not heard me, saith the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.
“Sepandan, nou pa t janm koute Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou nou ka pwovoke m a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo, jis rive nan pwòp donmaj nou.”
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because you have not heard my words:
Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Akoz nou pa t obeyi pawòl Mwen yo,
9 Behold I will send, and take all the kindreds of the north, saith the Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all the nations that are round about it: and I will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
gade byen, Mwen va voye pran tout fanmi nò yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen va voye kote Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, sèvitè Mwen an. Mwen va fè yo vini kont peyi sa a, kont tout moun ki rete ladann yo, e kont tout nasyon ki antoure li yo. Konsa, Mwen va detwi yo nèt, fè yo vin yon gwo laperèz, yon objè moun sifle kon koulèv ak yon dezolasyon k ap la pou tout tan.
10 And I will take away from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp.
Anplis, Mwen va retire sou yo vwa ki plen ak lajwa a, e vwa a kè kontan an, vwa a jennonm ki fenk marye, vwa a jenn fi marye a, son a wòch moulen yo ak limyè a lanp lan.
11 And all this land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment: and all these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Tout peyi sa a va vin yon dezolasyon ak yon gwo laperèz, e nasyon sa yo va sèvi wa Babylone nan pandan swasann-dis ane.”
12 And when the seventy years shall be expired, I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans: and I will make it perpetual desolations.
“Konsa, li va vin rive ke lè swasann-dis ane vin fini, Mwen va pini wa Babylone nan ak nasyon sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou inikite pa yo. Pou peyi Kaldeyen yo, Mwen va fè li vin yon dezolasyon nèt jis pou tout tan.
13 And I will bring upon the land all my words, that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, all that Jeremias hath prophesied against all nations:
Mwen va fè rive sou peyi sa a tout pawòl Mwen ke Mwen te pwononse kont li, tout sa ki ekri nan liv sa a, ke Jérémie te fè kon pwofesi kont tout nasyon sa yo.
14 For they have served them, whereas they were many nations, and great kings: and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their hands.
(Paske, anpil nasyon ak gwo wa va fè yo vin esklav, menm yo menm. Konsa, Mwen va rekonpanse yo selon zèv yo.)”
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take the cup of wine of this fury at my hand: and thou shalt make all nations to drink thereof, unto which I shall send thee.
Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la di mwen: “Pran tas diven kòlè sa a soti nan men Mwen, e fè tout nasyon kote Mwen voye ou yo bwè l.
16 And they shall drink, and be troubled, and be mad because of the sword, which I shall send among them.
Yo va bwè, kilbite e vin fou akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami yo.”
17 And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord, and I presented it to all the nations to drink of it, to which the Lord sent me:
Konsa, mwen te pran tas la nan men SENYÈ a, e mwen te fè tout nasyon sou sila SENYÈ a te voye mwen yo, bwè l:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof: to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse, as it is at this day.
Jérusalem ak vil Juda yo, wa pa li yo ak prens li yo, pou fè yo vin detwi nèt, yon gwo laperèz, yon objè k ap fè moun sifle anlè kon koulèv, yon madichon, jis jan sa ye jodi a;
19 Pharao the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people,
Farawon, wa Égypte la, sèvitè li yo, prens li yo ak tout pèp li a;
20 And all in general: all the kings of the land of Ausitis, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus.
epi tout etranje yo, tout wa peyi Uts yo, tout wa peyi Filisten yo, menm Askalon, Gaza, Ékron, ak sila ki rete Asdod yo;
21 And Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon.
Édom, Moab ak fis Ammon yo;
22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon: and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea.
epi tout wa Tyr yo, tout wa Sidon yo ak wa peyi kot ki lòtbò lanmè yo;
23 And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have their hair cut round.
Dedan ak Théma, ak Buz e tout sila ki koupe kwen cheve yo;
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, that dwell in the desert.
epi tout wa Arabie yo ak tout wa a pèp etranje ki rete nan dezè yo;
25 And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Medes:
epi tout wa Zimri yo, tout wa a Élam yo ak tout wa a Médie yo;
26 And all the kings of the north far and near, every one against his brother: and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face thereof: and the king of Sesac shall drink after them.
epi tout wa nò yo, ni pre, ni lwen, youn avèk lòt; epi tout wayòm latè ki sou sifas tè a. Wa Schéschac la va bwè apre yo.
27 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit: and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I shall send among you.
“Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, “Bwè, vin sou, vomi, tonbe e pa leve ankò akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami nou an.”’
28 And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Drinking you shall drink:
Epi li va vin rive ke si yo refize pran tas la nan men ou pou bwè, alò ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Anverite, nou va bwè!
29 For behold I begin to bring evil on the city wherein my name is called upon: and shall you be as innocent and escape free? you shall not escape free: for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.
Paske gade byen, Mwen ap kòmanse fè yon zèv k ap yon kalamite nan vil sa a, ki rele pa non Mwen an. Èske nou dwe konplètman chape anba pinisyon? Nou p ap chape anba pinisyon, paske Mwen ap fè apèl nepe a kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”’
30 And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord shall roar from on high, and shall utter his voice from his holy habitation: roaring he shall roar upon the place of his beauty: the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“Akoz sa, ou va pwofetize kont yo ak tout pawòl sa yo. Ou va di yo: ‘SENYÈ a va gwonde fò depi anwo; vwa l va eksprime depi nan abitasyon sen li an. Li va gwonde ak pwisans kont bann mouton pa li an. Li va rele fò tankou sila k ap foule rezen yo, kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo.
31 The noise is come even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord entereth into judgement with the nations: he entereth into judgement with all flesh; the wicked I have delivered up to the sword, saith the Lord.
Yon zen va rive soti nan dènye ekstremite latè, akoz SENYÈ a gen yon kont pou regle ak tout nasyon yo. Li va antre nan jijman ak tout chè yo. Pou mechan yo, li va livre yo a nepe,’” deklare SENYÈ a.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation: and a great whirlwind shall go forth from the ends of the earth.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Gade byen, mal la va sòti vin parèt de nasyon a nasyon, e yon gwo tanpèt va tòde jis rive nan pwent pi lwen de mond lan.
33 And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth.
Sila ki touye pa SENYÈ yo nan jou sa a va soti nan yon pwent latè jis rive nan lòt la. Yo p ap kriye pou yo, vin ranmase yo, ni antere. Yo va tankou fimye bèt sou sifas latè.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels.
Kriye fò, nou menm k ap fè bèje yo; rele anmwey! Woule kò nou nan sann, nou menm ki mèt a bann mouton yo; paske jou a masak nou yo ak egzil la fin rive, e nou va tonbe kon veso pi chwazi a.
35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves.
Sove ale pa p posib pou bèje yo. Mèt bann mouton yo p ap chape.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath wasted their pastures.
Tande kri a bèje yo, ak plent a mèt bann mouton yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a ap detwi patiraj yo,
37 And the fields of peace have been silent, because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
Epi pak mouton lapè yo tonbe an silans, akoz gwo kòlè SENYÈ a.”
38 He has forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
Li soti nan kote kachèt Li yo kon lyon an, paske peyi yo te devni yon gwo laperèz akoz gwo vyolans nepe k ap oprime, e akoz gwo raj a kòlè Li.
