Jeremiah 40
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh after - set free him Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards from Ramah when took he him and he [was] bound with chains in among all [the] exile[s] of Jerusalem and Judah who were being taken into exile Babylon towards.
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò apre Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te lage l' lavil Rama. Yo te fè Jeremi prizonye ansanm ak tout moun lavil Jerizalèm ak moun peyi Jida yo. Yo te mete l' nan chenn ansanm ak tout moun yo t'ap depòte lavil Babilòn.
2 And he took [the] chief of [the] bodyguards Jeremiah and he said to him Yahweh God your he spoke the harm this against the place this.
Chèf lagad la pran Jeremi sou kote, li di l' konsa: -Seyè a, Bondye ou la, te di li t'ap fè malè sa a tonbe sou peyi a.
3 And he has brought [it] and he has done Yahweh just as he said for you sinned to Yahweh and not you listened to voice his and it has happened to you (the thing *Q(K)*) this.
Koulye a sa li te di li t'ap fè a, li fè l'. Sa ki lakòz? Se paske pèp ou a te antò devan Seyè a, yo pa t' vle koute l'.
4 And now here! I have set free you this day from the chains which [are] on hand your if it is good in view your to come with me Babylon come so I may set eye my on you and if [is] displeasing in view your to come with me Babylon refrain see all the land [is] before you to [the place] good and to the [place] right in view your to go there towards go.
Atòkile, m'ap wete chenn ki nan ponyèt ou yo, m'ap lage ou. Si ou vle vini ak mwen lavil Babilòn, ou mèt vini, m'a pran swen ou. Men, si ou pa vle tou, ou pa blije vini. Tout peyi a devan ou, ou mèt ale kote ou vle.
5 And still he not he will return and return! to Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan whom he has appointed [the] king of Babylon over [the] cities of Judah and remain with him in among the people or to any [place] right in view your to go go and he gave to him [the] chief of [the] bodyguards a food allowance and a present and he let go him.
Lè Neboucharadan wè Jeremi pa reponn, li di l' ankò: -Tounen al jwenn Gedalya, pitit Akikam, pitit pitit Chafan, lavil Mispa. Se li menm wa Babilòn lan mete pou gouvènen tout lavil nan peyi Jida yo. W'a rete avè l' nan mitan pèp la. Ou gen dwa tou ale kote ou vle nan peyi a. Lèfini, li bay Jeremi yon kado ansanm ak kèk pwovizyon pou l' manje, epi li voye l' ale.
6 And he went Jeremiah to Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam Mizpah towards and he remained with him in among the people who remained in the land.
Jeremi al jwenn Gedalya, pitit Akikam lan, lavil Mispa. Li rete la avè l' ansanm ak moun yo te kite nan peyi a.
7 And they heard all [the] commanders of the armies which [were] in the open country they and men their that he had appointed [the] king of Babylon Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam over the land and that - he had appointed with him men and women and little one[s] and some of [the] poor people of the land from [those] who not they had been taken into exile Babylon towards.
Te gen yon rès lame peyi Jida a ki te andeyò lavil Jerizalèm. Chèf yo ansanm ak sòlda yo vin konnen wa Babilòn lan te mete Gedalya, pitit Akikam lan, chèf sou tout peyi a. Wa a te kite tout moun yo pa t' depòte yo sou kont li, tout moun pòv yo, fanm kou gason, granmoun kou timoun.
8 And they came to Gedaliah Mizpah towards and Ishmael [the] son Nethaniah and Johanan and Jonathan [the] sons of Kareah and Seraiah [the] son of Tanhumeth and [the] sons of - (Ephai *Q(K)*) the Netophathite and Jezaniah [the] son of the Maacathite they and men their.
Se konsa, Izmayèl, pitit Netanya, Jokanan ak Jonatan, pitit Karejak, Seraya, pitit Tannoumèt, pitit Efayi yo, moun lavil Netofa, ansanm ak Jezanya, pitit Makat, yo moute lavil Mispa, y' al jwenn Gedalya ansanm ak tout sòlda yo.
9 And he swore an oath to them Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and to men their saying may not you be afraid from serving the Chaldeans remain in the land and serve [the] king of Babylon so it may go well for you.
Gedalya di yo konsa: -Mwen ban nou pawòl mwen, nou pa bezwen pè soumèt nou devan moun Babilòn yo. Rete nan peyi a. Sèvi wa Babilòn lan. Tout bagay va mache byen pou nou.
10 And I here I [will be] dwelling at Mizpah to stand before the Chaldeans who they will come to us and you gather wine and summer fruit and oil and put [them] in vessels your and dwell in cities your which you have taken hold of.
Mwen menm, m'ap rete isit lavil Mispa. Konsa, m'a pale pou nou ak moun Babilòn yo lè y'a vini. Nou menm, nou mèt al fè rekòt rezen, lòt fwi ak lwil. Mete yo nan depo. Nou mèt rete nan lavil kote n'a ye yo.
11 And also all the Jews who [were] in Moab - and among [the] people of Ammon and in Edom and who [were] in all the lands they heard that he had given [the] king of Babylon a remnant to Judah and that he had appointed over them Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan.
Konsa tou, tout jwif ki te nan peyi Moab, nan peyi Amon, nan peyi Edon ak nan tout lòt peyi vin konnen wa Babilòn lan te penmèt kèk jwif rete nan peyi Jida, li te mete Gedalya, pitit Akikam, pitit pitit Chafan, chèf sou yo tout.
12 And they returned all the Jews from all the places where they had been driven away there and they came [the] land of Judah to Gedaliah Mizpah towards and they gathered wine and summer fruit much exceedingly.
Yo kite peyi kote yo te gaye yo, yo tounen nan peyi Jida, yo vin jwenn Gedalya lavil Mispa. Yo fè yon bèl rekòt rezen ak lòt fwi an kantite.
13 And Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies which [were] in the open country they came to Gedaliah Mizpah towards.
Yon jou, Jokanan, pitit Karejak, ansanm ak tout lòt chèf lame ki te andeyò yo vin jwenn Gedalya lavil Mispa.
14 And they said to him ¿ really do you know that Baalis - [the] king of [the] people of Ammon he has sent Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah to strike you life and not he believed them Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam.
Yo di l' konsa: -Ou pa konnen Baalis, wa peyi Amon an, voye Izmayèl, pitit Netanya a, pou touye ou? Men Gedalya pa t' vle kwè yo.
15 And Johanan [the] son of Kareah he said to Gedaliah in secrecy at Mizpah saying let me go please and let me strike down Ishmael [the] son of Nethaniah and anyone not he will know why? will he strike you life and will they be scattered all Jews who have gathered to you and will it perish [the] remnant of Judah.
Lè sa a, Jokanan al jwenn Gedalya an kachèt lavil Mispa, li di l' konsa: -Eske ou vle m' al touye Izmayèl pou ou? Pesonn p'ap konn anyen. Poukisa pou ou kite l' ansasinen ou? Si li touye ou, sa pral lakòz tout jwif ki te sanble bò kote ou yo pral gaye ankò. Sa pral lakòz ti ponyen moun ki rete nan peyi Jida a rive disparèt.
16 And he said Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam to Johanan [the] son of Kareah may not (you do *Q(k)*) the thing this for falsehood you [are] speaking concerning Ishmael.
Men, Gedalya reponn: -Pa fè sa, monchè! Sa w'ap di sou Izmayèl la pa vre!
