Jeremiah 37
1 And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Alò, Sédécias, fis a Josias ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè wa nan peyi Juda a, te renye kon wa nan plas a Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of Yhwh, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
Men ni li menm, ni sèvitè li yo, ni pèp peyi a te koute pawòl SENYÈ a, ke li te pale pa Jérémie, pwofèt la.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto Yhwh our God for us.
Men wa Sédécias te voye Jucal, fis a Schélémia a, ak Sophonie, fis a Maaséja a, kote Jérémie, pwofèt la. Li te di: “Souple, priye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou menm.”
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Alò, Jérémie te toujou ap sikile pami pèp la, paske yo potko mete l nan prizon.
5 Then Pharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Antretan, lame Farawon an te gen tan sòti an Égypte; epi lè Kaldeyen ki t ap fè syèj Jérusalem yo te tande rapò de yo a, yo te leve syèj la sou Jérusalem.
6 Then came the word of Yhwh unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie, pwofèt la e te di:
7 Thus saith Yhwh, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Konsa nou va di a wa Juda a, ki te voye nou kote m pou mande konsèy la: “Gade byen, lame Farawon ki te vin parèt pou bannou asistans lan va retounen nan pwòp peyi li an Égypte.
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
Kaldeyen yo va retounen pou goumen kont vil sa a, e yo va pran l pou brile l ak dife.”’”
9 Thus saith Yhwh; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Pa twonpe tèt nou pou nou di: “Kaldeyen yo vrèman va kite nou”, paske vrèman, yo pa prale.
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Paske menm si nou te bat tout lame Kaldeyen ki t ap goumen kont nou yo e te gen sèlman moun blese ki rete pami yo, yo chak nan tant pa yo, yo ta soulve e brile vil sa a ak dife.’”
11 And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Alò, li te vin rive ke lè lame Kaldeyen an te leve syèj Jérusalem nan akoz lame Farawon an,
12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
ke Jérémie te sòti deyò Jérusalem pou ale nan peyi Benjamin pou l ta ka pran posesyon a yon teren pami pèp la.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
Pandan li te kote Pòtay Benjamin an, yon kapitèn nan gad la ki te rele Jireija, fis a Schélémia, fis a Hanania a, te la. Li te arete Jérémie, pwofèt la e te di: “W ap vin apiye Kaldeyen yo!”
14 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Men Jérémie te di: “Manti! Mwen p ap apiye Kaldeyen yo”. Men li te refize koute li. Konsa, Jireija te arete Jérémie e te mennen li kote ofisye yo.
15 Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Ofisye yo te fache ak Jérémie. Yo te bat li e yo te anprizone li lakay Jonathan, grefye a, ke yo te sèvi pou prizon.
16 When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Lè Jérémie te fin rive nan donjon an, sa vle di, yon chanm prizon, li te rete la pandan anpil jou.
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from Yhwh? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Konsa, Wa Sédécias te voye retire li. Nan palè li, wa a an sekrè te kesyone l. Li te mande: “Èske gen yon pawòl ki sòti nan SENYÈ a?” Jérémie te reponn: “Wi, genyen!” Epi li te di: “Ou va livre nan men wa a Babylone nan.”
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Anplis, Jérémie te di a Wa Sédécias: “Nan ki fason mwen te peche kont ou an, oswa kont sèvitè ou yo, oswa kont pèp sa a, pou ou te mete m nan prizon an?
19 Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Alò, ki kote pwofèt ki te pwofetize devan ou ye, ki t ap di: ‘Wa Babylone nan p ap parèt kont nou, ni kont peyi sa a’?
20 Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Men koulye a, souple, koute mwen, O mèt mwen, e wa mwen: souple, kite demann mwen an rive devan ou, e pa fè m retounen lakay Jonathan, grefye a, pou mwen pa mouri la.”
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Epi Wa Sédécias te pase lòd e yo te pase lòd selon Jérémie pou l rete nan lakou kay gad la. Yo te bay li yon pen ki sòti nan lari boulanje a, jiskaske tout pen nan vil la te fini nèt. Konsa, Jérémie te rete nan lakou kay gad la.
