Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from Yhwh, saying,
Sedesyas, pitit Jozyas la, te gen katran depi li fèk moute wa nan peyi Jida, lè Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò.
2 Thus saith Yhwh to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
Seyè a di l' konsa: -Pran kòd ak bwa yo sèvi pou fè jouk bèf. Mete yo sou zepòl ou.
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
Lèfini, w'a voye yo bay wa peyi Edon, wa peyi Moab, wa peyi Amon, wa peyi Tir ak wa peyi Sidon. W'a renmèt yo nan men delege wa sa yo ki te vin wè wa Sedesyas lavil Jerizalèm.
4 And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
W'a ba yo chak yon misyon pou mèt yo. W'a di yo men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ba yo pou mèt yo:
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
-Se mwen menm avèk gwo kouraj mwen epi ak fòs ponyèt mwen ki fè latè ansanm ak tout moun ak tout bèt k'ap viv sou latè. Mwen pran yo bay moun mwen vle.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
Se konsa, mwen lage tout peyi nou yo nan men Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn, sèvitè m' lan. Mwen ba li ata bèt nan bwa yo pou yo soumèt devan l'.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
Tout nasyon yo va sèvi l'. Y'a sèvi pitit li ak pitit pitit li jouk lè a va rive pou lòt nasyon ki pi fò pase l' yo, lòt wa ki pi gran pase l' yo va fè peyi pa l' la sèvi yo tou.
8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith Yhwh, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Men si yon nasyon osinon yon wa ak tout pèp li derefize soumèt devan Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, si yonn ladan yo refize bese tèt devan otorite li pou obeyi l', m'ap voye lagè, grangou, move maladi sou nasyon sa a pou pini l' jouk m'a fè Nèbikadneza fini nèt ak li.
9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
Pa koute pwofèt nou yo, ni divinò nou yo, ni ankenn lòt moun ki pretann yo konnen sa ki pral rive nou, paske yo fè rèv pou nou, osinon paske yo ka li sa k'ap pase nan syèl la ou ankò paske yo konn fè maji. Yo tout ap plede di nou p'ap janm sèvi wa Babilòn lan.
10 For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
Se manti y'ap ban nou. Si nou koute yo, y'ap depòte nou byen lwen peyi nou an. Se mwen menm k'ap mete nou deyò. Lèfini, nou tout pral mouri.
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith Yhwh; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
Men, si yon nasyon asepte bese tèt li devan otorite wa Babilòn lan pou sèvi l', m'a kite l' nan peyi l', l'a travay latè, l'a rete lakay li. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
12 I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Mwen pale ak Sedesyas, wa Jida a, mwen di l' menm bagay la tou: -Ou menm ansanm ak pèp la, se pou nou bese tèt devan otorite wa Babilòn lan. Se pou nou sèvi ni li ni pèp li a, konsa n'a viv.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yhwh hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Pa gen rezon pou nou mouri, ou menm ak tout pèp ou a, nan lagè, nan grangou, anba move maladi. Paske se sa Seyè a te di ki gen pou rive tout nasyon ki va derefize soumèt devan wa Babilòn lan.
14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Gen yon bann pwofèt k'ap plede di nou p'ap janm sèvi wa Babilòn lan. Pa koute yo. Se manti y'ap bay.
15 For I have not sent them, saith Yhwh, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
Se Seyè a menm ki di se pa li menm ki voye yo. Yo pran non l' pou ban nou manti. Si nou koute yo, m'ap mete nou deyò, m'ap fè nou mouri, ni nou ni pwofèt k'ap ban nou manti yo.
16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith Yhwh; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Yhwh's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Apre sa, mwen pale ak prèt yo ansanm ak pèp la, mwen di yo: -Men mesaj Seyè a bay. Pa koute pwofèt yo k'ap plede di nou yo pral pote tounen soti lavil Babilòn tout bagay yo te pran nan tanp lan. Se manti y'ap bay.
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
Pa koute yo. Soumèt devan wa Babilòn lan, konsa n'a viv. Pa gen rezon pou nou fè lavil Jerizalèm lan tounen mazi.
18 But if they be prophets, and if the word of Yhwh be with them, let them now make intercession to Yhwh of Armies, that the vessels which are left in the house of Yhwh, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
Si yo se pwofèt tout bon, si yo resevwa yon mesaj nan men Seyè a tout bon vre, enben, se pou y' al mande Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pou li pa kite yo pran rès bon bagay ki nan Tanp lan, ak rès bon bagay ki lakay wa peyi Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm lan pou pote yo ale lavil Babilòn.
19 For thus saith Yhwh of Armies concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
Seyè a t'ap pale sou gwo poto kwiv yo, sou gwo basen lan ansanm ak pye l' yo, sou tout lòt richès ki te nan lavil la toujou.
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
Se bagay sa yo Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, te kite lavil Jerizalèm lè li t'ap depòte Jekonya, pitit Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, lavil Babilòn, ansanm ak grannèg peyi Jida yo ak grannèg lavil Jerizalèm yo.
21 Yea, thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of Yhwh, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
Wi, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te di sou rès bon bagay ki te nan kay Seyè a, nan kay wa Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm:
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith Yhwh; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
Y'ap pote yo ale lavil Babilòn. Y'ap rete la jouk lè m'a vin pran yo pou m' fè yo tounen nan plas yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
