Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord in the tenth year of Sedecias king of Juda: the same is eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor.
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, nan dizyèm ane Sédécias, wa Juda a, ki te nan dizuityèm ane a Nebucadnetsar.
2 At that time the army of the king o Babylon besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremias the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Juda.
Alò, nan lè sa a, lame a wa Babylone nan t ap fè syèj sou Jérusalem, e Jérémie, pwofèt la, te fèmen nan lakou gad ki te lakay wa a Juda a.
3 For Sedecias king of Juda had shut him up, saying: Why dost thou prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it?
Akoz Sédécias, wa Juda a te mete li nan prizon e te di: “Poukisa ou pwofetize konsa pou di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou bay vil sa a nan men a Wa Babylone nan e li va pran l;
4 And Sedecias king of Juda shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans: but he shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon: and he shall speak to him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes.
epi Sédécias, wa Juda a p ap chape nan men a Kaldeyen yo, men anverite, li va livre bay nan lamen wa Babylone nan. Li va pale ak li fasafas e va wè li zye nan zye.
5 And he shall lead Sedecias to Babylon: and he shall be there till I visit him, saith the Lord. But if you will fight against the Chaldeans, you shall have no success.
Epi konsa, li va pran Sédécias fè l rive Babylone e li va la jiskaske Mwen vizite li,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Malgre nou goumen kont Kaldeyen yo, nou p ap reyisi.”’”
6 And Jeremias said: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Jérémie te reponn: “Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Sellum thy cousin shall come to thee, saying: Buy thee my field, which is in Anathoth, for it is thy right to buy it, being akin.
Gade byen, Hanameel, fis a Schallum nan, tonton ou, ap vin kote ou, e li va di: ‘Achte pou ou menm chan mwen ki nan Anathoth, paske se ou menm ki gen dwa redanmsyon pou achte l.’”
8 And Hanameel my uncle’s son cam to me, according to the word of the to the entry of the prison, and said me: Buy my held, which is in in the land of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thins, and thou art next of kin to possess it. And I understood this was the word of the Lord.
“Konsa, Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan, te vin kote mwen nan lakou gad la selon pawòl SENYÈ a. Li te di mwen: ‘Achte chan mwen an, souple, ki Anathoth, nan peyi Benjamin an; paske ou gen dwa posede l e redanmsyon an se pou ou. Achte l pou ou menm.’ “Epi mwen te konnen ke sa se te pawòl SENYÈ a.
9 And I bought the held of my uncle’s son, that is in Anathoth: and I weighed him the money, seven staters, and ten pieces of silver.
Mwen te achte chan ki te Anathoth la nan men Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan e mwen te peze ajan bay pou li, disèt sik ajan.
10 And I wrote it in a book and sealed it, and took witnesses: and I weighed him the money in the balances.
Mwen te siyen e mete so sou papye tè a, te rele temwen, e te peze ajan sou balans pou bay.
11 And I took the deed of the purchase that was sealed, and the stipulations, and the ratifications with the seals that were on the outside.
Alò, mwen te pran papye vant lan, ansanm ak kopi ki te fèmen anba so a, tout tèm ak kondisyon vant yo, ak kopi a ouvri.
12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neri the son of Maasias in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, and before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
Epi mwen te bay papye vant lan bay Baruc, fis a Nérija a, fis a Macheséja a, devan zye a Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan, e devan zye a temwen ki te siyen papye vant lan, devan tout Jwif ki te chita nan lakou gad yo.
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying:
“Epi mwen te kòmande Baruc nan prezans yo, e mwen te di:
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take these writings, this deed of the purchase that is sealed up, and this deed that is open: and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël a: ‘Pran papye tè sila yo, zak vant sa a ki fèmen ak so, ansanm ak zak vant sa a ki ouvri, e mete yo nan yon veso fèt ak ajil, pou yo ka dire pou anpil tan.’
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Houses, and fields, and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Kay yo, jaden yo ak chan rezen yo ap vin achte ankò nan peyi sa a.’
16 And after I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
“Lè mwen te fin bay papye tè a a Baruc, fis a Nérija a; alò, mwen te priye a SENYÈ a, e te di:
17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, behold thou hast made heaven and earth by thy great power, and thy stretched out arm: no word shall be hard to thee:
‘A, SENYÈ Bondye! Gade byen, Ou te fè syèl yo ak tè a ak gran pouvwa Ou, e ak men Ou lonje! Nanpwen anyen ki twò difisil pou Ou,
18 Thou shewest mercy unto thousands, and returnest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: O most mighty, great, and powerful, the Lord of hosts is thy name.
Ou menm ki montre lanmou dous a dè milye, men rekonpanse inikite a papa yo nan sen a jenerasyon k ap swiv yo. Gran e pwisan Bondye, SENYÈ dèzame yo se non Li.
19 Great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought: whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of Adam, to render unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his devices.
Gran an konsèy e pwisan an zèv, ki gen zye ki ouvri nan tout chemen a fis a lòm yo, ki rekonpanse tout moun selon chemen li, e selon fwi lan a zèv li;
20 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even until this day, and in Israel, and amongst men, and hast made thee a name as at this day.
ki te opere sign ak mèvèy nan peyi Égypte la, jis rive nan jou sa a, an Israël e pami tout imanite; epi Ou te fè yon non pou Ou menm, jan sa ye jodi a.
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel, out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, and with great terror.
Ou te mennen pèp Ou a, Israël sòti nan peyi Égypte ak sign ak mèvèy, avèk yon men pwisan, yon bra lonje e avèk gwo laperèz.
22 And best given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.
Epi Ou te bay yo peyi sa a, ke Ou te sèmante a papa zansèt yo pou bay yo, yon peyi k ap koule ak lèt ak siwo myèl.
23 And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed not thy voice, and they walked not in thy law: and they did not any of those things that thou didst command them to do, and all these evils are come upon them.
Yo te antre e te pran posesyon li, men yo pa t obeyi a vwa Ou, ni mache nan lalwa Ou. Yo pa t fè anyen nan tout sa Ou te kòmande yo fè yo. Pou sa, Ou fè tout malè sa a rive sou yo.
24 Behold works are built up against the city to take it: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken, is all come to pass, as thou thyself seest.
“Gade byen, men balkon tè syèj yo fin rive kote vil la pou pran l. Epi vil la fin bay nan men a Kaldeyen ki goumen kont li yo, akoz nepe, ak gwo grangou, avèk ensèk ak maladi ki devaste. Konsa, sa Ou te pale a fin rive. Gade byen, Ou wè l.
25 And sayest thou to me, O Lord God: Buy a field for money, and take witnesses, whereas the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans?
Ou te di mwen, O Senyè BONDYE, ‘Achte pou ou menm chan an ak lajan; rele temwen yo’ —malgre vil la fin bay nan men a Kaldeyen yo.”
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive a Jérémie. Li te di:
27 Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh: shall any thing be hard for me?
“Gade byen, Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye a tout chè yo. Èske gen bagay twò difisil pou Mwen?
28 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it.
Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou bay vil sa a nan men a Kaldeyen yo, e nan men a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, e li va pran l.
29 And the Chaldeans that fight against this city, shall come and set it on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they offered sacrifice to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath.
Kaldeyen k ap goumen kont vil sa yo va antre mete dife nan tout vil sa a, e brile li, ak kay kote te gen ofrann lansan a Baal sou twati yo, e yo te vide ofrann bwason yo a lòt dye pou fè M fache.’”
30 For the children of Israel, and the children of Juda, have continually done evil in my eyes from their youth: the children of Israel who even till now provoke me with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
“Anverite, fis Israël yo ak fis Juda yo t ap fè sèlman sa ki mal devan zye M soti nan jenès yo; paske fis a Israël yo te pwovoke M sèlman a lakòlè ak zèv men yo”, deklare SENYÈ a.
31 For this city hath been to me a provocation and indignation from the day that they built it, until this day, in which it shall be taken out of my sight.
“Anverite, vil sa a te atire kòlè M ak raj Mwen an soti nan jou ke yo te bati li a, menm rive nan jou sa a, pou sa ta dwe retire devan figi Mwen,
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel, and of the children of Juda, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
akoz tout mechanste ke fis Israël yo ak fis Juda yo te fè, pou yo ta pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè—yo menm, wa yo, chèf yo, prèt yo, pwofèt yo, mesye a Juda yo, ak tout moun ki rete Jérusalem yo.
33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces: when I taught them early in the morning, and instructed them, and they would not hearken to receive instruction.
Yo te vire do ban Mwen olye figi yo. Malgre enstriksyon ke Mwen te bay yo ankò e ankò, men yo pa t ap koute M pou resevwa lenstriksyon an.
34 And they have set their idols in the house, in which my name is called upon, to defile it.
Men yo te mete bagay abominab pa yo nan kay ki rele pa non pa M nan, pou souye l.
35 And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to consecrate their sons and their daughters to Moloch: which I commanded them not, neither entered it into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and cause Juda to sin.
Yo te bati wo plas a Baal ki nan vale Ben-Hinnom nan, pou fè fis yo pase nan dife a Moloc, bagay ke M pa t kòmande yo, ni sa pa t antre nan panse M ke yo ta dwe fè bagay abominab sa a, pou fè Juda peche.”
36 And now, therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to this city, whereof you say that it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
Alò, pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, konsènan vil sa a ke ou te di: “Li te livre nan men a wa a Babylone nan pa nepe, pa gwo grangou, e pa gwo epidemi.”
37 Behold I will gather them together out of all the lands to which I have cast them out in my anger, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation: and I will bring them again into this place, and will cause them to dwell securely.
“Gade byen, Mwen va ranmase yo soti nan tout peyi kote Mwen te pouse bourade yo, ale nan kòlè ak raj Mwen an, ak gran endiyasyon Mwen an; epi Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan plas sa a. Epi la, Mwen va fè yo rete anpè.
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo;
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all days: and that it may be well with them, and with their children after them.
Epi Mwen va bay yo yon sèl kè ak yon sèl chemen pou yo ka toujou gen lakrent Mwen pou pwòp byen pa yo e pou byen a pitit apre yo.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and will not cease to do them good: and I will give my fear in their heart, that they may not revolt from me.
Mwen va fè yon akò k ap pou tout tan nèt avèk yo, ke Mwen p ap vire kite yo, pou fè yo byen. Konsa Mwen va mete lakrent Mwen anndan kè yo pou yo pa vire kite Mwen.
41 And I will rejoice over them, when I shall do them good: and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with all my soul.
Mwen va rejwi de yo pou fè byen pou yo. E Mwen va, ak fidelite, plante yo nan peyi sa a, ak tout kè Mwen e ak tout nanm Mwen.”
42 For thus saith the Lord: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil: so will I bring upon them all the good that I now speak to them.
Paske SENYÈ a di, “Menm jan ke M te mennen tout gwo dezas sa a sou pèp sa a, konsa Mwen va mennen sou yo tout bonte ke Mwen ap pwomèt yo.
43 And fields shall be purchased in this land: whereof you say that it is desolate, because there remaineth neither man nor beast, and it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
Chan yo va vin achte nan peyi sa a kote ou te di: ‘Sa se yon dezolasyon, san moun ni bèt. Li livre nan men a Kaldeyen yo.’
44 Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be written, and sealed, and witnesses shall be taken, in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, in the cities of Juda, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: for I will bring their captivity, saith the Lord.
Mesye yo va achte chan yo pou lajan, siyen, mete so sou papye tè yo, e rele temwen nan peyi Benjamin an, nan andwa a Jérusalem yo, nan vil a Juda yo, nan vil a peyi kolin yo, nan vil nan ba plèn yo, ak nan vil dezè yo; paske Mwen va ranvèse kaptivite yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
