Jeremiah 44
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Pawòl ki te rive kote Jérémie pou tout Jwif ki te rete nan peyi Égypte yo, sila ki te rete nan Migdol yo, Tachpanès Noph ak nan peyi a Pathros yo. Li te di:
2 Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
“Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Nou menm, nou te wè tout malè ke M te mennen sou Jérusalem ak tout vil Juda yo. Gade byen, nan jou sa a, yo fin kraze nèt e pèsòn pa rete nan yo,
3 Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other elohim, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
akoz mechanste ke yo te fè pou pwovoke M a lakòlè, akoz yo te kontinye brile sakrifis pou sèvi lòt dye ke yo pa t konnen, ni yo, ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo.
4 Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
Malgre sa, Mwen te voye bannou tout sèvitè mwen yo, pwofèt yo, ankò e ankò e Mwen te di: “Ah, pa fè bagay abominab sila ke m menm rayi a.”
5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other elohim.
Men yo pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy yo pou kite mechanste yo, pou yo pa brile sakrifis a lòt dye yo.
6 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
Akoz sa, kòlè Mwen ak mekontantman Mwen te vide e te brile nan vil Juda yo ak nan ri a Jérusalem yo, jiskaske yo vin detwi nèt e vin yon dezolasyon jis rive jodi a.’
7 Therefore now this saith YHWH, the Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
“Alò, konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Poukisa n ap fè gwo mal sa a nou menm, pou nou ta koupe retire nèt de nou menm, gason, fanm, pitit, ak tibebe, pou kite tèt nou san retay.
8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other elohim in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Epi pwovoke M a lakòlè avèk zèv men nou, brile sakrifis a lòt dye nan peyi Égypte yo, kote nou ap antre pou rezide, pou nou kab vin koupe retire nèt e devni yon madichon ak yon repwòch pami tout nasyon sou latè yo?
9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Èske nou fin bliye mechanste a papa zansèt nou yo, mechanste a wa a Juda yo, mechanste a madanm yo, pwòp mechanste pa nou, mechanste a madanm pa nou yo, ke yo te komèt nan peyi Juda a ak nan ri Jérusalem yo.
10 They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
Men yo pa t repanti, menm jis rive jodi a, ni yo pa t gen lakrent, ni mache nan lalwa Mwen, ni règleman ke M te mete devan nou yo ak devan papa zansèt nou yo.’
11 Therefore thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
“Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen ap fikse fas Mwen kont nou pou malè, menm pou koupe retire tout Juda.
12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
Epi Mwen va retire retay Juda ki te fikse panse yo sou antre nan peyi Égypte pou abite la, e yo va tout twouve move desten pa yo. La, nan peyi Égypte, yo va tonbe pa nepe e rankontre desten yo nan gwo grangou. Yo va devni yon madichon, yon objè degoutan, yon anatèm ak yon repwòch.
13 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
Epi Mwen va pini sila ki rete an peyi Égypte, kon mwen te pini Jérusalem, ak nepe a, ak grangou, ak bèt ki ravaje chan e ak epidemi.
14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
Konsa, p ap gen moun ki chape, ni ki retounen nan retay Juda ki te antre nan peyi Égypte pou rezide la ak entansyon pou retounen nan peyi Juda, kote yo gen anvi retounen viv la. Paske okenn moun p ap retounen sof ke kèk grenn ki chape.’”
15 Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other elohim, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
Epi tout sila ki te konnen ke madanm yo t ap brile sakrifis a lòt dye yo, ansanm ak tout fanm ki te kanpe la yo, yon gwo asanble, menm ak tout moun ki te rete Pathros nan peyi Égypte la, te reponn a Jérémie. Yo te di:
16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of YHWH, we will not hearken unto thee.
“Pou mesaj ke ou te pale nou nan non SENYÈ a, nou p ap koute ou!
17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
Men pito, nou va akonpli tout pawòl ki te sòti nan bouch pa nou, lè n ap brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la, e vide bwason devan l, menm jan ke nou menm, ak papa zansèt nou yo, wa nou yo, ak prèt nou yo te konn fè nan vil Juda yo ak nan ri a Jérusalem yo. Paske nan lè sa a, nou te gen kont manje, nou te byen alèz e nou pa t konn soufri malè.
18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Men depi lè nou te sispann brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la ak vide bwason devan l, nou te vin manke tout bagay, e nou te vin anile pa nepe ak gwo grangou.”
19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Fanm yo te pale: “Lè nou t ap brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la, e nou t ap vide ofrann bwason a li menm, èske se te san mari nou ke nou te fè pou li gato sakrifis nan imaj li e te vide ofrann bwason a li menm?”
20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
Epi Jérémie te di a tout pèp la, a mesye yo ak fanm yo—menm a tout pèp ki t ap reponn li konsa yo—e li te di:
21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not YHWH remember them, and came it not into his mind?
Pou sakrifis lafimen ke nou te brile nan vil a Juda yo ak ri a Jérusalem yo, nou menm ak papa zansèt nou yo, wa nou yo, ak prens nou yo e pèp peyi a, èske SENYÈ a pa t sonje yo, e èske tout sa pa t antre nan panse Li?
22 So that YHWH could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
Konsa, SENYÈ a pa t ka sipòte sa akoz mechanste a zak nou yo, akoz zak abominab ke nou te komèt yo. Se pou sa, peyi nou an fin detwi nèt, yon objè degoutan ak yon madichon, san pèsòn pou rete ladann, jan li ye jodi a.
23 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against YHWH, and have not obeyed the voice of YHWH, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day
Akoz nou te brile sakrifis yo, nou te peche kont SENYÈ a e pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ a, ni mache nan lalwa Li, règleman Li yo, ak temwayaj Li yo; akoz sa, gran malè sa a vin tonbe sou nou, jan li ye jodi a.
24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of YHWH, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
Konsa, Jérémie te di a tout pèp la, ansanm ak tout fanm yo: “Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, tout Juda ki rete nan peyi Égypte la,
25 Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, konsa: ‘Pou nou menm ak madanm nou, nou te pale ak bouch nou, nou te akonpli sa ak men nou, e nou te di: “Anverite, nou va akonpli ve ke nou te fè yo, pou nou brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la, e vide bwason nou yo a li menm.” “‘Ale fè l, pou akonpli ve nou yo; e byen si, akonpli ve nou yo!’
26 Therefore hear ye the word of YHWH, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith YHWH, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Master YHWH liveth.
“Sepandan, tande pawòl SENYÈ a, tout moun Juda ki rete nan peyi Égypte la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen te sèmante pa gran non Mwen,’ SENYÈ a di: ‘Pinga non Mwen janm nome ankò nan bouch a okenn moun Juda nan tout peyi Égypte la, pou ta di: “Jan Senyè BONDYE a viv la.”
27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
Gade byen, M ap veye sou yo pou malè yo, e pa pou byen yo. Tout mesye Juda ki nan peyi Égypte yo, va rankontre lafen pa yo ak nepe e ak gwo grangou jiskaske yo fin disparèt nèt.
28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
Sila ki chape anba nepe yo va retounen sòti nan peyi Égypte pou rive Juda p ap gen anpil menm. Nan lè sa a, retay Juda ki te ale nan peyi Égypte pou rezide yo, va konnen pawòl a kilès k ap kanpe, si se pa M nan, oswa pa yo a’.
29 And this shall be a sign unto you, saith YHWH, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
“‘Sa va sèvi kon sign pou nou’, SENYÈ a di: ‘ke Mwen va pini nou nan plas sa a, pou nou ka konnen ke pawòl Mwen va, anverite, kanpe kont nou pou malè nou.’
30 Thus saith YHWH; Behold, I will give Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va livre Farawon Hophra, wa Égypte la, nan men lènmi li yo; nan men a sila k ap chache lavi li, menm jan ke m te livre Sédécias, wa Juda a, nan men Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, ki te ènmi li e ki t ap chache lavi li.’”
