Jeremiah 37
1 And King Zedekiah the sonne of Iosiah reigned for Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim, whome Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel made King in the land of Iudah.
Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn, te mete Sedesyas, yonn nan pitit Jozyas yo, wa nan peyi Jida nan plas Jekonya, pitit Jojakim.
2 But neither he, nor his seruants, nor the people of the land would obey the wordes of the Lord, which he spake by the ministerie of the Prophet Ieremiah.
Men, ni Sedesyas, ni chèf li yo, ni ankenn lòt moun nan peyi a pa te vle tande mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi pou yo.
3 And Zedekiah the King sent Iehucal the sonne of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the sonne of Maaseiah the Priest to the Prophet Ieremiah, saying, Pray now vnto the Lord our God for vs.
Men, wa Sedesyas te voye Jewoukal, pitit Chelemya, ak Sefanya, prèt la, pitit Maseja, bò kot pwofèt Jeremi pou mande l' lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye yo a, pou yo tout.
4 (Now Ieremiah went in and out among the people: for they had not put him into the prison.
Lè sa a, yo pa t' ankò mete Jeremi nan prizon. Li t'ap ale vini jan l' te vle nan mitan pèp la.
5 Then Pharaohs hoste was come out of Egypt: and when the Caldeans that besieged Ierusalem, heard tidings of them, they departed from Ierusalem)
Lame moun Babilòn yo te sènen lavil Jerizalèm. Lè yo pran nouvèl lame farawon an te travèse fwontyè peyi Lejip la, yo wete kò yo devan lavil Jerizalèm.
6 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto the Prophet Ieremiah, saying,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Jeremi. Li di l': -Men repons w'a voye bay Sedesyas:
7 Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Thus shall ye say to the King of Iudah, that sent you vnto me to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaohs hoste, which is come forth to helpe you, shall returne to Egypt into their owne land.
Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pale. Men sa n'a di wa Jida ki te voye nou bò kote m' lan. Lame farawon an t'ap vin ede nou. Men l'ap tounen lakay li nan peyi Lejip.
8 And the Caldeans shall come againe, and fight against this citie, and take it and burne it with fire.
Lè sa a, moun Babilòn yo ap tounen dèyè nou ankò, y'ap atake lavil la, y'ap pran l', y'ap boule l'.
9 Thus sayth the Lord, Deceiue not your selues, saying, The Caldeans shall surely depart from vs: for they shall not depart.
Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa: Pa twonpe tèt nou. Pa konprann moun Babilòn yo pati ale nèt, yo gen pou yo tounen.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole hoste of the Caldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should euery man rise vp in his tent, and burne this citie with fire.
Menm si nou ta rive kraze tout lame moun Babilòn k'ap fè nou lagè a epi se sa ki blese yo ase nou kite kouche anba tant yo, yo tout y'ap leve, y'ap vin boule lavil la ratè.
11 When the hoste of the Caldeans was broken vp from Ierusalem, because of Pharaohs armie,
Lè sa a, lame moun Babilòn yo te wete kò yo devan Jerizalèm, paske yo te pran nouvèl mouvman lame farawon an.
12 Then Ieremiah went out of Ierusalem to goe into the land of Beniamin, separating himselfe thence from among the people.
Jeremi te vle fè yon ti soti andeyò lavil la pou li ale nan peyi moun Benjamen yo. Li tapral resevwa pòsyon pa l' nan yon tè fanmi li ansanm ak tout rès moun yo t'ap separe.
13 And when hee was in the gate of Beniamin, there was a chiefe officer, whose name was Iriiah, the sonne of Shelemiah, the sonne of Hananiah, and he tooke Ieremiah the Prophet, saying, Thou fleest to the Caldeans.
Lè li rive Pòtay Benjamen, li kontre ak kòmandman pòs la ki te rele Jirija. Se te pitit Chelemya, pitit pitit Ananya. Jirija rete Jeremi, li di l' konsa: -Anhan! Ou pral rann tèt ou bay moun Babilòn yo!
14 Then sayde Ieremiah, That is false, I flee not to the Caldeans: but he would not heare him: so Iriiah tooke Ieremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jeremi reponn li: -Non, monchè! Mwen pa pral rann tèt mwen kras bay moun Babilòn yo. Men Jirija pa koute l' menm. Li boukle Jeremi, li mennen l' bay chèf yo.
15 Wherefore the princes were angry with Ieremiah, and smote him, and layde him in prison in the house of Iehonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Chèf yo move sou Jeremi, yo fè bat li byen bat. Apre sa, yo fèmen msye lakay Jonatan, sekretè tanp lan. Yo te pran kay sa a sèvi yo prizon.
16 When Ieremiah was entred into the dungeon, and into the prisons, and had remained there a long time,
Yo mete Jeremi nan yon kacho anba tanp lan. Yo kite l' pase kèk tan la.
17 Then Zedekiah the King sent, and tooke him out, and the King asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any worde from the Lord? And Ieremiah sayd, Yea: for, sayd he, thou shalt be deliuered into the hand of the King of Babel.
Apre sa, wa Sedesyas voye chache l'. Lè Jeremi rive nan palè a, wa a pran l' sou kote, li mande l': -Eske Seyè a ba ou yon mesaj pou mwen? Jeremi reponn: -Wi, monwa. Men li: Yo pral lage ou nan men wa lavil Babilòn lan.
18 Moreouer, Ieremiah sayd vnto King Zedekiah, What haue I offended against thee, or against thy seruants, or against this people, that ye haue put me in prison?
Apre sa Jeremi mande wa a: -Sa mwen fè ou, sa m' fè chèf ou yo, sa m' fè pèp la pou ou mete m' nan prizon?
19 Where are nowe your prophets, which prophecied vnto you, saying, The King of Babel shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Kisa ki rive pwofèt ou yo ki te di ou wa lavil Babilòn lan pa t'ap vin atake ni ou menm ni peyi a?
20 Therefore heare nowe, I pray thee, O my lorde the King: let my prayer be accepted before thee, that thou cause mee not to returne to the house of Iehonathan the scribe, least I die there.
Koulye a, monwa, mèt mwen, tanpri, koute sa m'ap mande ou. Tanpri souple, pa voye m' tounen nan prizon kay Jonatan, sekretè a. Si ou fè sa, nanpwen rechap pou mwen.
21 Then Zedekiah the King commanded, that they should put Ieremiah in the court of the prison, and that they should giue him dayly a piece of bread out of the bakers streete vntill all the bread in the citie were eaten vp. Thus Ieremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Se konsa, wa Sedesyas bay lòd pou yo fèmen Jeremi nan lakou gad palè yo. Chak jou se pou yo ba li yon pen y'a pran nan Riyèl Boulanje yo jouk jou p'ap gen pen ankò nan lavil la. Se konsa Jeremi rete nan lakou gad palè yo.
