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,
Nan kòmansman règn wa Sédécias, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, pawòl sa a te rive kote Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, epi te di,
2 Thus saith Yhwh to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
Konsa SENYÈ a pale ak mwen: “Fè pou kont ou lyen ak jouk e mete yo sou kou 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;
Epi voye pawòl kote wa Edom an, wa Moab la, wa a fis Ammon yo, wa Tyre la e wa a Sidon an pa mesaje ki vini Jérusalem kote Sédécias, wa Juda a.
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;
Kòmande yo ale kote mèt pa yo e di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, konsa nou va di a mèt nou 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.
“Mwen te fè latè, lèzòm ak bèt ki sou sifas latè yo pa gran pouvwa Mwen ak men M lonje, e Mwen va bay li a sila ki fè M plezi nan zye mwen.
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.
Koulye a, Mwen te bay tout peyi sila yo nan men a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone, sèvitè Mwen an e Mwen te bay li, anplis, bèt sovaj chan yo pou sèvi li.
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 li e fis li ak gran fis li jis rive nan lè pwòp peyi li vini. Nan moman sa a, anpil nasyon ak anpil wa va fè li vin sèvitè yo.”’”
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.
“Li va rive ke nasyon oswa wayòm ki refize sèvi Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, e ki pa mete kou li anba jouk a wa Babylone nan, Mwen va pini nasyon sa a ak nepe a, ak gwo grangou e ak envazyon ensèk k ap ravaje tout chan yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “jiskaske Mwen fin detwi nasyon sa a pa men 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:
“Men pou nou menm, pa koute pwofèt nou yo, divinò nou yo, moun ki fè rèv yo, moun k ap devine yo, ni sila ki fè wanga yo, k ap di: ‘Nou p ap sèvi wa Babylone nan’.
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.
Paske pwofesi pa yo se manti y ap bannou pou yo deplase nou ale lwen peyi nou, pou fè M ta pouse bourade nou deyò e nou va peri.
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 nasyon a ki bese kou li anba jouk wa Babylone nan e ki sèvi li, Mwen va kite nan peyi li,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Konsa, yo va travay tè a pou viv ladann.”
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 te pale pawòl tankou sila yo a Sédécias, wa Juda a. Mwen te di l: “Mennen kou nou anba jouk a wa Babylone nan pou sèvi li ak pèp li a, e 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?
Poukisa nou va mouri, nou menm avèk pèp nou an, pa nepe, gwo grangou, ak ravaj bèt ki manje tout chan yo, kon SENYÈ a te pale a nasyon sa a ki refize sèvi wa Babylone nan?
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.
Konsa, pa koute pawòl a pwofèt k ap pale ak nou, k ap di: ‘Nou p ap oblije sèvi wa Babylone nan,’ paske y ap fè pwofesi manti a nou menm.
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.
Paske Mwen pa t voye yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Yo fè fo pwofesi nan non Mwen, pou m ka pouse bourade nou deyò pou nou ka peri, nou menm ak pwofèt ki fè pwofesi sa yo bannou 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, mwen te pale ak prèt yo e a tout pèp sa a. Mwen te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Pa koute pawòl a pwofèt nou yo ki fè pwofesi bannou ki di: ‘Gade byen, veso lakay SENYÈ yo va retounen rapid soti Babylone;’ paske yo fè pwofesi manti bannou.
17 Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
Pa koute yo. Sèvi wa Babylone nan e viv! Poukisa vil sa a ta dwe detwi nèt?
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.
Men si se pwofèt yo ye, e si pawòl SENYÈ a avèk yo, kite yo koulye a fè demann a SENYÈ dèzame yo, pou veso ki rete lakay SENYÈ yo, lakay wa Juda a ak Jérusalem yo pa ale Babylone.
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,
Paske se konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo konsènan pilye yo, konsènan lanmè a, konsènan baz yo e konsènan tout lòt veso ki rete nan vil sa a,
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;
ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, pa t pran lè l te pote Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan, wa Juda a, te fè sòti Jérusalem pou rive Babylone, ak tout gwo moun Juda ak Jérusalem 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, se konsa SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, te pale konsènan veso ki rete lakay SENYÈ yo, lakay wa Juda a ak Jérusalem yo,
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.
‘Yo va pote rive Babylone e yo va la jis rive jou ke m vizite yo a,’ deklare SENYÈ a. ‘Apre, Mwen va mennen yo retounen e restore yo nan plas sa a.’”
