Jeremiah 33
1 Moreover the word of Yhwh came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie yon dezyèm fwa, pandan li te toujou nan prizon nan lakou gad la. Li te di:
2 Thus saith Yhwh the maker thereof, Yhwh that formed it, to establish it; Yhwh is his name;
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a ki te fè tè a, SENYÈ a ki te fòme li pou etabli li a—SENYÈ a se non Li.
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
‘Rele Mwen, Mwen va reponn ou e Mwen va di ou gwo bagay pwisan ke ou pa t janm konnen.’
4 For thus saith Yhwh, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ Israël la konsènan kay nan vil sa yo, e konsènan kay a wa a Juda k ap vin kraze pou fè yon ranpa kont balkon tè syèj yo e kont nepe a,
5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
‘pandan y ap vini pou goumen kont Kaldeyen yo e pou plen yo ak kadav moun ke M te masakre nan kòlè Mwen ak gwo kòlè Mwen yo, epi Mwen te kache figi M kont vil sa a, akoz tout mechanste yo,
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
‘gade byen, Mwen va mennen kote li lasante ak gerizon, e Mwen va geri yo. Epi Mwen va montre yo lapè ak verite an abondans.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
Mwen va restore bonè a Juda ak bonè a Israël, e Mwen va rebati yo jan yo te ye o kòmansman an.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
Mwen va netwaye yo de tout inikite avèk sila yo te peche kont Mwen yo. Mwen va padone tout inikite pa sila yo te peche kont Mwen yo e pa sila yo te fè transgresyon kont Mwen yo.
9 And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
Vil sa va pou Mwen yon non lajwa, lwanj ak laglwa devan tout nasyon latè yo, ki va tande afè tout byen ke M fè pou yo. Yo va gen lakrent e tranble akoz tout byen ak tout lapè ke M fè pou li.’”
10 Thus saith Yhwh; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Yon fwa ankò yo va tande nan plas sa a, sou sa ou w ap di a: ‘Sa se yon dezè, san moun e san bèt, sa vle di nan vil a Juda yo ak ri Jérusalem yo, ki dezole, san moun e san pèsòn ni bèt pou rete ladann,’
11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise Yhwh of Armies: for Yhwh is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of Yhwh. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith Yhwh.
vwa lajwa a ak vwa kè kontan, vwa a yon jennonm ki fenk marye e vwa a jenn fi maryaj la, vwa a sila k ap di yo: ‘Bay remèsiman a SENYÈ dèzame yo, paske SENYÈ a bon, paske lanmou dous Li dire jis pou tout tan’; k ap pote yon ofrann remèsiman antre lakay SENYÈ a. Paske Mwen va restore bonè a peyi a jan li te ye oparavan an,” pale SENYÈ a.
12 Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Va ankò gen nan plas sa a ki dezè, ki san moun, ni bèt e nan tout vil li yo, yon kote pou bèje k ap okipe bann mouton yo rete.
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith Yhwh.
Nan vil a peyi kolin yo, nan vil a ba plèn yo, nan vil a dezè yo, nan peyi Benjamin an, nan andwa a Jérusalem yo e nan vil a Juda yo, bann mouton yo va ankò pase anba men a sila k ap konte yo a,” pale SENYÈ a.
14 Behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
“Gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Lè Mwen va akonpli bon pawòl la Mwen te pale konsènan lakay Israël la ak lakay Juda a.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
“Nan jou sa yo e nan lè sa a, Mwen va fè yon Branch ladwati a David pete vin parèt. Li va egzekite lajistis ak ladwati sou tout latè.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, Jehovah-Tsidkenu, Yhwh Our Righteousness.
Nan jou sa yo, Juda va vin sove e Jérusalem va ansekirite. Men non pa sila li va rele a: SENYÈ a se ladwati nou.”
17 For thus saith Yhwh; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
“Paske, se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘David p ap janm manke yon nonm pou chita sou twòn lakay Israël la.
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle grain offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
Konsa, prèt Levit yo p ap janm manke yon nonm devan Mwen, pou ofri ofrann brile, pou brile ofrann sereyal e pou prepare sakrifis yo tout tan san rete.’”
19 And the word of Yhwh came unto Jeremiah, saying,
Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie e te di:
20 Thus saith Yhwh; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Si ou ka kraze akò Mwen an pou jounen an, e akò Mwen an pou nwit lan, pou jou sa a ak nwit sa a pa rive nan lè deziye yo,
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
alò, konsa sèlman, akò Mwen an kab kraze avèk David, Sèvitè Mwen an, pou li pa gen yon fis pou renye sou twòn li an e avèk prèt Levit yo, pou ministè pa m yo.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
Tankou lame syèl la pa ka konte e sab lanmè a pa ka mezire, konsa Mwen va miltipliye desandan a David yo, sèvitè Mwen an ak Levit ki sèvi Mwen yo.’”
23 Moreover the word of Yhwh came to Jeremiah, saying,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie. Li te di:
24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Yhwh hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
“Pa okipe bagay pèp sa a te pale, lè yo di: ‘De fanmi ke SENYÈ a te chwazi yo, Li te fin rejte yo’? Konsa, yo meprize pèp Mwen an; yo pa menm ankò tankou yon nasyon nan zye yo.
25 Thus saith Yhwh; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Si akò Mwen an pou lajounen ak lannwit pa kanpe, epi aranjman ki òdone nan syèl yo pa t fèt pa Mwen menm,
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
alò, sèl konsa, Mwen ta rejte desandan a Jacob yo ak David, sèvitè Mwen an e pa chwazi pami desandan li yo chèf sou desandan a Abraham, Issac ak Jacob yo. Men Mwen va restore bonè pa yo, e Mwen va genyen mizerikòd pou yo.’”
