Jeremiah 28
1 This is what happened in the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year. The prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, told me in the Lord's Temple in front of the priests and all the people:
Nan menm lanne a, nan katriyèm lanne rèy Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, nan senkyèm mwa a, pwofèt Ananya, pitit Azou, moun lavil Gabawon, vin pale avè m' nan tanp Seyè a. Devan tout prèt yo ansanm ak pèp la, li di mwen:
2 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
-Men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay: Mwen kraze pouvwa wa Babilòn lan.
3 Before two years have passed I'm going to bring back to Jerusalem all the Temple objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed and took to Babylon.
Nan dezan, jou pou jou, m'ap pote tout bagay ki te nan tanp Seyè a tounen nan plas yo. Wi, tou sa wa Nèbikadneza te pran nan tanp lan pou l' te pote ale lavil Babilòn, m'ap fè yo tounen nan plas yo.
4 I will also bring back to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with all the exiles from Judah who were taken to Babylon, declares the Lord, because I'm going to break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”
M'ap fè Jekonya, pitit Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout moun peyi Jida yo te depòte lavil Babilòn yo tounen isit. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Wi, mwen pral kraze pouvwa wa Babilòn ki t'ap peze nou an.
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah responded to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people who were standing in the Lord's Temple.
Lè sa a, devan tout prèt yo ansanm ak foul moun ki te nan kay Seyè a, pwofèt Jeremi reponn pwofèt Ananya.
6 “Amen!” said Jeremiah. “I wish the Lord would do just that! I wish the Lord would fulfill your prophetic words and bring back Temple objects and all the exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon.
Li di konsa: -Dakò! Se pou Seyè a fè sa vre! Se pou li fè sa ou di a rive vre, pou l' fè tout bagay ki te nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak moun yo te depòte yo tounen soti lavil Babilòn.
7 But even so, pay attention to this message I'm going to tell you and everyone here.
Tansèlman, koute byen sa m'ap di ou, ou menm ansanm ak pèp la:
8 The prophets of long ago who came before you and me prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many countries and great kingdoms.
Pwofèt ki te vini anvan m' yo ak anvan ou tou te fè konnen lagè, grangou ak move maladi pral tonbe sou anpil gwo peyi, sou anpil gran wa ak tout pèp yo.
9 When it comes to a prophet who prophesies peace, see if their prophecies come true. Only that will prove they are really sent by the Lord.”
Men, lè yon pwofèt di tout bagay pral mache byen, se lè sa li di ki gen pou rive a rive vre y'a rekonèt se Seyè a ki te voye l'.
10 Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it.
Lè sa a, pwofèt Ananya pran jouk bèf ki te sou zepòl Jeremi an, li kraze l' an miyèt moso.
11 Hananiah announced in front of everyone, “This is what the Lord says: Just like this, before two years have passed I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.” Jeremiah the prophet left.
Apre sa, li pran pale ankò devan tout pèp la. Li di konsa: -Men mesaj Seyè a: Nan dezan, jou pou jou, se konsa mwen pral kraze pouvwa Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan. Mwen pral kraze jouk bèf li te mete sou zepòl tout nasyon yo. Apre sa, pwofèt Jeremi al fè wout li.
12 However, right after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from his neck, a message of the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Kèk tan apre pwofèt Ananya te kraze jouk bèf ki te sou zepòl pwofèt Jeremi an, Seyè a pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa:
13 “Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the Lord says: You may have broken a wooden yoke of wood, but you have replaced it with an iron yoke.
-Ale pale ak Ananya. W'a di l' men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou te kraze yon jouk bèf fèt an bwa. Ou pral ranplase l' ak yon jouk bèf fèt an fè.
14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have tied iron yokes on the necks of all these nations to force them to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”
Paske men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la di: M'ap mete yon jouk fè sou zepòl tout nasyon sa yo pou yo sèvi Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan. Ata bèt nan bwa va soumèt devan l'.
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen to this, Hananiah! The Lord didn't send you, but you have convinced these people to believe in a lie.
Apre sa, pwofèt Jeremi di pwofèt Ananya konsa: -Koute byen, Ananya! Se pa Seyè a ki te voye ou di sa, tande. Ou twonpe konfyans pèp la.
16 So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to get rid of you from the earth. You will die this year because you have promoted rebellion against the Lord.”
Se sa ki fè men sa Seyè a di: Li pral disparèt ou sou latè. Anvan lanne an bout, w'ap mouri, paske ou pouse pèp la pou l' te kenbe tèt ak Seyè a!
17 The prophet Hananiah died in the seventh month of that very year.
Menm lanne an vre, nan setyèm mwa a, pwofèt Ananya mouri.
