Jeremiah 37
1 Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, 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, listened to the words of the LORD, which he spoke 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 Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah, the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "Pray now to the LORD 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 Pharaoh's army had come forth out of Egypt; and when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news of them, they broke up 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 the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie, pwofèt la e te di:
7 "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: "Look, Pharaoh's army, which has 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 The Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall 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 says the LORD, "Do not deceive 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 you had struck the whole army of the Chaldeans who fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yes would 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 It happened 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 receive his portion there, 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 When he was in the Benjamin Gate, a captain of the guard was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "You are falling 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 Jeremiah said, "It is false; I am not falling away to the Chaldeans." But he did not listen to him; so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the officials.
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 And the officials were angry with Jeremiah, and struck 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 had come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, 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 fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, "Is there any word from the LORD?" Jeremiah said, "There is." He said also, "You shall 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 to king Zedekiah, "Wherein have I sinned against you, or against your servants, or against this people, that you 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 now are your prophets who prophesied to 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 Now please hear, my lord the king: please let my petition be presented before you, that you not cause me 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, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard; and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
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.
