Jeremias 42
1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS from the Lord in the days of Joakim, king of Juda, saying,
Epi tout gran chèf lame yo, Jochanan, fis a Karéach la, Jezania, fis Hosée a, ak tout pèp la, ni piti, ni gran, te pwoche.
2 Go to the house of the Archabin, and you shall bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of the courts, and give them wine to drink.
Yo te di a Jérémie, pwofèt la: “Souple, kite demand nou an vin parèt devan ou, e priye SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, pou nou; pou tout retay sa a, akoz nou se sèlman kèk grenn ki rete pami anpil nan nou, jan zye ou konn wè nou an,
3 So I brought forth Jechonias the son of Jeremin the son of Chabasin, and his brethren, and his sons, and all the family of the Archabin;
pou SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, kapab pale nou de chemen ke nou ta dwe pran an, ak bagay ke nou ta dwe fè a.”
4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Joanan, the son of Ananias, the son of Godolias, a man of God, who dwells near the house of the princes that are over the house of Maasaeas the son of Selom, who kept the court.
Jérémie, pwofèt la, te di yo: “Mwen te tande. Gade byen, mwen va priye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, an akò ak tout pawòl nou yo, epi mwen va di nou tout mesaj avèk sila SENYÈ a va reponn nou yo. Mwen p ap kenbe dèyè menm yon mo pou nou.”
5 And I set before them a jar of wine, and cups, and I said, Drink you wine.
Epi yo te di a Jérémie: “Ke SENYÈ a kapab yon vrè fidèl temwen kont nou si nou pa aji selon tout mesaj ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, va voye pou nou.
6 But they said, We will on no account drink wine, for our father Jonadab the son of Rechab commanded us, saying, You shall on no account drink wine, [neither] you, nor your sons for ever:
Kit li dous, kit li pa dous, nou va koute vwa SENYÈ a sou sila nou ap voye ou a, pou sa kapab ale byen pou nou lè nou koute vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.”
7 nor shall you at all build houses, nor sow any seed, nor shall you have a vineyard: for you shall dwell in tents all your days; that you may live many days upon the land, in which you sojourn.
Alò, lè sèt jou fin ekoule, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie.
8 And we listened to the voice of Jonadab our father, so as to drink no wine all our days, we, and our wives, and our sons, and our daughters;
Konsa, li te rele Jochanan, fis a Karéach la, ak tout chèf lame ki te avè l yo ak tout pèp la, ni piti, ni gran.
9 and so as to build no houses to dwell in: and we have had no vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Epi li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, a Sila nou te voye mwen pou prezante sa nou t ap mande devan L lan:
10 but we have lived in tents, and have listened, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
‘Si, anverite, nou va rete nan peyi sa a; alò, Mwen va ankouraje nou, Mwen p ap detwi nou, Mwen va plante nou e Mwen p ap dechouke nou, men Mwen va ralanti sou malè avèk sila Mwen te aflije nou an.
11 And it came to pass, when Nabuchodonosor came up against the land, that we said we would come in; and we entered into Jerusalem, for fear of the host of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the host of the Assyrians: and we lived there.
Pa pè wa Babylone nan, k ap bannou perèz nan moman sa a. Pa pè l, paske Mwen avèk nou pou sove nou e pou delivre nou de men l.
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Anplis, Mwen va montre nou konpasyon, pou l ta genyen konpasyon anvè nou e restore nou sou pwòp tè pa nou.
13 Thus says the Lord, Go, and say to the men of Juda, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will you not receive correction to listen to my words?
“‘Men si nou ap di: “Nou p ap rete nan peyi sa a,” pou nou pa ta koute vwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
14 The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the word which he commanded his children, that they should drink no wine; and they have not drunk [it]: but I spoke to you early, and you listened not.
epi di: “Non, men nou va ale nan peyi Égypte, kote nou p ap tande afè lagè, ni son a twonpèt, ni grangou pou pen, e se la nou va rete;”’
15 And I sent to you my servants the prophets, saying, Turn you every one from his evil way, and amend your practices, and go not after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: but you inclined not your ears, and listened not.
alò, nan ka sa a, koute pawòl SENYÈ a, O retay a Juda yo. Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Si nou, anverite, fikse vizaj nou pou antre an Égypte e pou antre nan rezidans lan,
16 But the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command of their father; but this people has not listened to me.
alò, nepe ke nou vrèman krent lan va rive pran nou nan peyi Égypte la, epi grangou ke nou krent anpil la, va swiv nou de prè an Égypte, e la nou va mouri.
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring upon Juda and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.
Konsa, tout mesye ki fikse panse yo pou rive la an Égypte, pou fè rezidans yo la, va mouri pa nepe, pa grangou, ak gwo epidemi. Yo p ap gen retay, ni ki chape sou gwo malè ke Mwen va fè vini sou yo a.’
18 Therefore thus says the Lord; Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have listened to the command of their father, to do as their father commanded them:
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Tankou gwo kòlè ak mekontantman Mwen te vide sou sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, se konsa gwo kòlè Mwen va vide sou nou lè nou antre an Égypte. Konsa, nou va devni yon madichon, yon objè degoutan, yon anatèm e yon repwòch. Ni nou p ap janm wè kote sila a ankò.’
19 there shall never be lacking a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand before my face while the earth remains.
“SENYÈ a te pale ak nou, O retay Juda a: ‘Pa ale antre an Égypte!’ Nou ta dwe konprann byen klè ke jodi a, mwen te avèti nou sa.
Paske nou twonpe pwòp tèt nou. Se nou menm ki te voye mwen kote SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou te di: “Priye pou nou a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, epi nenpòt sa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an di, fè nou konnen e nou va fè l.”
Konsa, jodi a, mwen te di nou, men nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, menm nan tout sa Li te voye mwen pale nou yo.
Akoz sa, nou ta koulye a dwe konprann ke nou va mouri pa nepe, pa grangou e pa gwo epidemi, nan plas kote nou vle ale rezide a.
