Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yhwh, saying,
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, ki te di:
2 Thus speaketh Yhwh God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Ekri tout pawòl ke M te bay ou yo nan yon liv.
3 For, lo, the days come, saith Yhwh, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Yhwh: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
Paske gade byen, jou yo ap vini,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘lè Mwen va restore fòtin pèp Mwen an, Israël ak Juda,’ Senyè a di. ‘Anplis, Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke m te bay a papa zansèt yo, e yo va posede li.’”
4 And these are the words that Yhwh spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Alò, sila yo se pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale konsènan Israël e konsènan Juda:
5 For thus saith Yhwh; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mwen te tande son a yon gwo laperèz, a yon gwo krent; pa gen lapè.
6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Mande koulye a pou wè si yon gason kapab fè pitit. Poukisa Mwen wè tout gason ak men li sou ti vant yo, konsi se fanm k ap fè pitit? Epi poukisa tout figi yo vin pal konsa?
7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Elas, paske jou sa a gran, pa gen ki parèy a li. Li se lè a gwo doulè Jacob la; men li va sove de li.
8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yhwh of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
“Li va vin rive nan jou sa a, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: ke Mwen va kase jouk li a soti sou kou nou. Mwen va chire kòd yo, e etranje yo p ap fè yo esklav ankò.
9 But they shall serve Yhwh their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
Men yo va sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a e David, wa yo a, ke Mwen va fè leve wo pou yo.
10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith Yhwh; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
Pa pè anyen, O Jacob, sèvitè Mwen an,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi pa pèdi kouraj, O Israël; paske gade byen, Mwen va sove ou soti lwen e posterite ou soti nan peyi kaptivite yo. Jacob va retounen, Li va kalm, alèz, e nanpwen moun k ap fè l fè pè.
11 For I am with thee, saith Yhwh, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Paske Mwen avèk ou, deklare SENYÈ a, pou sove ou; paske Mwen va detwi nèt tout nasyon kote Mwen te gaye ou yo, sèlman ou menm ke M p ap detwi nèt. Men m ap fè ou korije fil a mezi; Mwen p ap kite ou san pinisyon.”
12 For thus saith Yhwh, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Blesi ou yo pa kab geri, e kondisyon ou byen grav.
13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
Nanpwen moun ki pou plede koz ou; pa gen gerizon pou maleng nan, ni ou p ap ka refè.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
Tout moun ki renmen ou yo fin bliye ou, yo pa chache ou; paske Mwen te blese ou ak blesi a yon lènmi, ak pinisyon a yon moun ki mechan, akoz inikite ou gran e peche ou anpil.
15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
Poukisa w ap kriye akoz blesi ou yo? Doulè ou a pa gen gerizon. Akoz inikite ou yo gran e peche ou yo anpil, Mwen te fè ou sa a.
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
Akoz sa, tout sila ki devore ou yo va vin devore; epi tout advèsè ou yo, yo chak, yo va antre an kaptivite. Sila ki piyaje ou yo va tounen piyaj yo menm, e tout sila yo ki fè nou vin viktim yo, va vin viktim yo menm.
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Yhwh; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
Paske M ap fè ou reprann lasante, e Mwen va geri ou de tout blesi ou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Akoz yo te rele ou yon rejte e yo te di: ‘Se Sion; nanpwen moun ki bezwen anyen ladan.’”
18 Thus saith Yhwh; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen va restore fòtin a tant a Jacob yo, e gen konpasyon pou lakay li yo; vil la va rebati sou ranblè li yo e palè a va kanpe nan pwòp plas li.
19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
Nan yo menm, va sòti remèsiman ak vwa a sila k ap fè fèt yo. Mwen va miltipliye yo e yo p ap diminye; anplis, Mwen va bay yo glwa, e yo p ap meprize;
20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
Pitit pa yo tou va tankou oparavan, e kongregasyon yo va etabli devan M. Mwen va pini tout sila k ap oprime yo.
21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith Yhwh.
Chèf pa yo va youn nan yo, e sila ki gouvène yo va sòti nan mitan yo. Mwen va mennen li toupre, e li va vin toupre Mwen; paske se kilès ki ta gen kouraj pou pwoche M?” deklare SENYÈ a.
22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
“Nou va vin pèp Mwen e Mwen va vin Bondye pa nou.”
23 Behold, the whirlwind of Yhwh goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
Gade byen, tanpèt SENYÈ a, kòlè Li fin depanse nèt, yon tanpèt k ap ravaje; li va eklate sou tèt a mechan yo.
24 The fierce anger of Yhwh shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
Kòlè fewòs SENYÈ a p ap detounen jiskaske li fin fè, jiskaske li fin acheve entansyon a kè Li. Nan dènye jou yo, ou va konprann sa.”
