< Jeremiah 36 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:
Nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, pawòl sa a te rive a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a. Li te di:
2 'Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
“Pran yon woulo e ekri sou li tout pawòl ke M te pale ou konsènan Israël, konsènan Juda, e konsènan tout nasyon yo, depi nan jou ke M te premyèman pale ak ou a, depi nan jou a Josias yo, jis pou rive nan jou sa a.
3 It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way, and I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.'
Petèt, lakay Juda va tande afè tout malè ke M gen lentansyon fè rive yo, jiskaske tout moun va detounen kite chemen mechan pa yo; epi konsa, Mwen kapab padone inikite ak peche yo.”
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which He had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
Konsa, Jérémie te rele Baruc, fis a Nérija a, e Baruc te ekri sou yon woulo, selon dikte Jérémie, tout pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale a li yo.
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: 'I am detained, I cannot go into the house of the LORD;
Jérémie te kòmande Baruc. Li te di: “Mwen limite. Mwen p ap ka antre lakay SENYÈ a.
6 therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD'S house upon a fast-day; and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
Akoz sa, ou va ale li depi nan woulo ke ou te ekri selon dikte mwen an, pawòl a SENYÈ a. Li l a pèp lakay SENYÈ a nan yon jou jèn. Epi anplis, ou va li yo a tout pèp Juda a lè yo antre sòti nan vil yo.
7 It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way; for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.'
Petèt siplikasyon yo va vini devan SENYÈ a, e tout moun va detounen kite chemen mechan yo. Paske kòlè ak gwo mekontantman SENYÈ a pwononse kont pèp sa a, byen gran.”
8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD'S house.
Baruc, fis a Nérija a, te fè selon tout sa ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te kòmande li yo. Li te li nan woulo pawòl a SENYÈ a, lakay SENYÈ a.
9 Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD, all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
Alò, nan senkyèm ane Jojakim lan, fis a Josias, wa a Juda a, nan nevyèm mwa a, tout pèp Jérusalem nan ak tout moun ki te antre soti nan vil Jérusalem yo, te pwoklame yon jèn devan SENYÈ a.
10 Then did Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S house, in the ears of all the people.
Epi Baruc te li nan woulo pawòl a Jérémie yo lakay SENYÈ a nan chanm a Guemaria, fis Schaphan an, grefye nan tribinal anwo a, nan antre Pòtay Nèf la lakay SENYÈ a, devan tout pèp la.
11 And when Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
Alò, lè Michée, fis a Guemaria, fis a Schaphan an, te tande tout pawòl a SENYÈ a soti nan liv la,
12 he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber; and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
Li te desann lakay wa a, nan chanm grefye a. Epi gade byen, tout ofisye yo te chita la—-Élischama, grefye a, Delaja, fis a Schemaeja a, Elnathan, fis a Acbor a, Guemaria, fis a Schaphan an e Sédécias, fis a Hanania a, ak tout lòt chèf yo.
13 Then Micaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Michée te deklare a yo menm tout pawòl ke li te tande lè Baruc te li soti nan liv a pèp la.
14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying: 'Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come.' So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
Epi tout ofisye yo te voye Jehudi, fis a Nethania, fis a Schélémia, fis a Cuschi a, kote Baruc e te di: “Pran nan men ou woulo ke ou te li a pèp la e vini.” Konsa Baruc, fis a Nethania, te pran woulo a nan men l e te ale kote yo.
15 And they said unto him: 'Sit down now, and read it in our ears.' So Baruch read it in their ears.
Yo te di li: “Chita la, souple e li li bannou.” Konsa, Baruc te li li bay yo.
16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said unto Baruch: 'We will surely tell the king of all these words.'
Lè yo te tande tout pawòl yo; ak gwo perèz, yo te vire youn vè lòt e yo te di a Baruc: “Anverite, nou va bay rapò tout pawòl sa yo bay wa a.”
17 And they asked Baruch, saying: 'Tell us now: How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?'
Epi yo te mande Baruc e te di: “Di nou, souple, kijan ou te ekri tout pawòl sa yo? Èske se te selon dikte pa li?”
18 Then Baruch answered them: 'He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.'
Epi Baruc te di yo: “Li te dikte tout pawòl sa yo e mwen te ekri yo ak lank nan liv la.”
19 Then said the princes unto Baruch: 'Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man know where ye are.'
Alò, ofisye yo te di a Baruc: “Ale, kache tèt ou, ou menm ak Jérémie e pa kite pèsòn konnen kote nou ye.”
20 And they went in to the king into the court; but they had deposited the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
Pou sa, yo te ale kote wa a nan lakou a, men yo te depoze woulo a nan chanm Élischama, grefye a, e yo te fè rapò tout pawòl sa yo a wa a.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll; and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes that stood beside the king.
Epi wa a te voye Jehudi chache woulo a, e li te retire li nan chanm Élischama, grefye a. Epi Jehudi te li li bay wa a ansanm ak tout ofisye ki te kanpe akote wa a.
22 Now the king was sitting in the winter-house in the ninth month; and the brazier was burning before him.
Alò, wa a te chita nan kay sezon livè a, nan nevyèm mwa a, ak dife ki t ap brile nan recho la devan l.
23 And it came to pass, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
Lè Jehudi te fin li twa oswa kat pòsyon, wa a te koupe li ak yon kouto e te jete li nan dife ki te nan recho a, jiskaske woulo a te fin manje nèt nan dife ki te nan recho a.
24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
Malgre sa, wa a ak tout sèvitè ki te tande pawòl sila yo pa t pè, ni yo pa t chire rad yo.
25 Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had entreated the king not to burn the roll; but he would not hear them.
Menmsi Elnathan, Delaja ak Guemaria te sipliye wa a pou l pa brile woulo a, li te refize koute yo.
26 And the king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but the LORD hid them.
Epi wa a te kòmande Jerachmeel, fis a wa a, Seraja, fis Azriel e Schélémia, fis a Abdeel, pou sezi Baruc, grefye a ak Jérémie, pwofèt la, men SENYÈ a te kache yo.
27 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie lè wa a te fin brile woulo pawòl ke Baruc te ekri selon dikte Jérémie a e te di:
28 'Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
“Pran ankò yon lòt woulo e ekri sou li tout menm pawòl ki te ekri sou premye woulo ke Jojakim, wa Juda a, te brile a.
29 And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah thou shalt say: Thus saith the LORD: Thou hast burned this roll, saying: Why hast thou written therein, saying: The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
Epi konsènan Jojakim, wa Juda a, ou va di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ou te brile woulo sa a e ou te di: ‘Poukisa ou te ekri sou li ke wa Babylone nan va, anverite, vin detwi peyi sa a e va fè ni lòm ni bèt vin disparèt ladann?’”’
30 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
‘Akoz sa’, pale SENYÈ a konsènan Jojakim wa Juda a: “Li p ap gen okenn moun ki pou chita sou twòn David la, e kadav li va jete deyò nan chalè lajounen ak gwo fredi lannwit.
31 And I will visit upon him and his seed and his servants their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they hearkened not.'
Anplis, Mwen va pini li ak desandan li yo ak sèvitè pou inikite yo, e Mwen va mennen sou yo ak sila k ap viv Jérusalem yo, ak mesye Juda yo, tout malè ke M te deklare a yo menm yo—men yo pa t koute.”’”
32 Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides unto them many like words.
Epi Jérémie te pran yon lòt woulo. Li te bay li a Baruc, fis a Nérija a, grefye a, epi li te ekri sou li selon dikte a Jérémie, tout pawòl a liv ke Jojakim, wa Juda a te brile nan dife a; epi anpil pawòl parèy a yo te ajoute nan yo.
