Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, nan dizyèm ane Sédécias, wa Juda a, ki te nan dizuityèm ane a Nebucadnetsar.
2 For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was confined in the court of the prison, which [was] in the king of Judah's house.
Alò, nan lè sa a, lame a wa Babylone nan t ap fè syèj sou Jérusalem, e Jérémie, pwofèt la, te fèmen nan lakou gad ki te lakay wa a Juda a.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had confined him, saying, Why dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Akoz Sédécias, wa Juda a te mete li nan prizon e te di: “Poukisa ou pwofetize konsa pou di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou bay vil sa a nan men a Wa Babylone nan e li va pran l;
4 And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
epi Sédécias, wa Juda a p ap chape nan men a Kaldeyen yo, men anverite, li va livre bay nan lamen wa Babylone nan. Li va pale ak li fasafas e va wè li zye nan zye.
5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
Epi konsa, li va pran Sédécias fè l rive Babylone e li va la jiskaske Mwen vizite li,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Malgre nou goumen kont Kaldeyen yo, nou p ap reyisi.”’”
6 And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Jérémie te reponn: “Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thy uncle shall come to thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that [is] in Anathoth: for the right of redemption [is] thine to buy [it].
Gade byen, Hanameel, fis a Schallum nan, tonton ou, ap vin kote ou, e li va di: ‘Achte pou ou menm chan mwen ki nan Anathoth, paske se ou menm ki gen dwa redanmsyon pou achte l.’”
8 So Hanameel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison, according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine, and the redemption [is] thine; buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this [was] the word of the LORD.
“Konsa, Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan, te vin kote mwen nan lakou gad la selon pawòl SENYÈ a. Li te di mwen: ‘Achte chan mwen an, souple, ki Anathoth, nan peyi Benjamin an; paske ou gen dwa posede l e redanmsyon an se pou ou. Achte l pou ou menm.’ “Epi mwen te konnen ke sa se te pawòl SENYÈ a.
9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that [was] in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, [even] seventeen shekels of silver.
Mwen te achte chan ki te Anathoth la nan men Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan e mwen te peze ajan bay pou li, disèt sik ajan.
10 And I subscribed the contract, and sealed [it], and took witnesses, and weighed [him] the money in the balances.
Mwen te siyen e mete so sou papye tè a, te rele temwen, e te peze ajan sou balans pou bay.
11 So I took the evidence of the purchase, [both] that which was sealed [according] to the law and custom, and that which was open:
Alò, mwen te pran papye vant lan, ansanm ak kopi ki te fèmen anba so a, tout tèm ak kondisyon vant yo, ak kopi a ouvri.
12 And I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel my uncle's [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
Epi mwen te bay papye vant lan bay Baruc, fis a Nérija a, fis a Macheséja a, devan zye a Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan, e devan zye a temwen ki te siyen papye vant lan, devan tout Jwif ki te chita nan lakou gad yo.
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
“Epi mwen te kòmande Baruc nan prezans yo, e mwen te di:
14 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël a: ‘Pran papye tè sila yo, zak vant sa a ki fèmen ak so, ansanm ak zak vant sa a ki ouvri, e mete yo nan yon veso fèt ak ajil, pou yo ka dire pou anpil tan.’
15 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Kay yo, jaden yo ak chan rezen yo ap vin achte ankò nan peyi sa a.’
16 Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,
“Lè mwen te fin bay papye tè a a Baruc, fis a Nérija a; alò, mwen te priye a SENYÈ a, e te di:
17 Ah LORD God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and out-stretched arm, [and] there is nothing too hard for thee:
‘A, SENYÈ Bondye! Gade byen, Ou te fè syèl yo ak tè a ak gran pouvwa Ou, e ak men Ou lonje! Nanpwen anyen ki twò difisil pou Ou,
18 Thou showest loving-kindness to thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, JEHOVAH of hosts, [is] his name,
Ou menm ki montre lanmou dous a dè milye, men rekonpanse inikite a papa yo nan sen a jenerasyon k ap swiv yo. Gran e pwisan Bondye, SENYÈ dèzame yo se non Li.
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thy eyes [are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
Gran an konsèy e pwisan an zèv, ki gen zye ki ouvri nan tout chemen a fis a lòm yo, ki rekonpanse tout moun selon chemen li, e selon fwi lan a zèv li;
20 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, [even] to this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
ki te opere sign ak mèvèy nan peyi Égypte la, jis rive nan jou sa a, an Israël e pami tout imanite; epi Ou te fè yon non pou Ou menm, jan sa ye jodi a.
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an out-stretched arm, and with great terror;
Ou te mennen pèp Ou a, Israël sòti nan peyi Égypte ak sign ak mèvèy, avèk yon men pwisan, yon bra lonje e avèk gwo laperèz.
22 And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
Epi Ou te bay yo peyi sa a, ke Ou te sèmante a papa zansèt yo pou bay yo, yon peyi k ap koule ak lèt ak siwo myèl.
23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
Yo te antre e te pran posesyon li, men yo pa t obeyi a vwa Ou, ni mache nan lalwa Ou. Yo pa t fè anyen nan tout sa Ou te kòmande yo fè yo. Pou sa, Ou fè tout malè sa a rive sou yo.
24 Behold the mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and behold, thou seest [it].
“Gade byen, men balkon tè syèj yo fin rive kote vil la pou pran l. Epi vil la fin bay nan men a Kaldeyen ki goumen kont li yo, akoz nepe, ak gwo grangou, avèk ensèk ak maladi ki devaste. Konsa, sa Ou te pale a fin rive. Gade byen, Ou wè l.
25 And thou hast said to me, O LORD GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Ou te di mwen, O Senyè BONDYE, ‘Achte pou ou menm chan an ak lajan; rele temwen yo’ —malgre vil la fin bay nan men a Kaldeyen yo.”
26 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive a Jérémie. Li te di:
27 Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
“Gade byen, Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye a tout chè yo. Èske gen bagay twò difisil pou Mwen?
28 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou bay vil sa a nan men a Kaldeyen yo, e nan men a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, e li va pran l.
29 And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Kaldeyen k ap goumen kont vil sa yo va antre mete dife nan tout vil sa a, e brile li, ak kay kote te gen ofrann lansan a Baal sou twati yo, e yo te vide ofrann bwason yo a lòt dye pou fè M fache.’”
30 For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done evil only before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
“Anverite, fis Israël yo ak fis Juda yo t ap fè sèlman sa ki mal devan zye M soti nan jenès yo; paske fis a Israël yo te pwovoke M sèlman a lakòlè ak zèv men yo”, deklare SENYÈ a.
31 For this city hath been to me [as] a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
“Anverite, vil sa a te atire kòlè M ak raj Mwen an soti nan jou ke yo te bati li a, menm rive nan jou sa a, pou sa ta dwe retire devan figi Mwen,
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
akoz tout mechanste ke fis Israël yo ak fis Juda yo te fè, pou yo ta pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè—yo menm, wa yo, chèf yo, prèt yo, pwofèt yo, mesye a Juda yo, ak tout moun ki rete Jérusalem yo.
33 And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising early and teaching [them], yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
Yo te vire do ban Mwen olye figi yo. Malgre enstriksyon ke Mwen te bay yo ankò e ankò, men yo pa t ap koute M pou resevwa lenstriksyon an.
34 But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
Men yo te mete bagay abominab pa yo nan kay ki rele pa non pa M nan, pou souye l.
35 And they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] to Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Yo te bati wo plas a Baal ki nan vale Ben-Hinnom nan, pou fè fis yo pase nan dife a Moloc, bagay ke M pa t kòmande yo, ni sa pa t antre nan panse M ke yo ta dwe fè bagay abominab sa a, pou fè Juda peche.”
36 And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
Alò, pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, konsènan vil sa a ke ou te di: “Li te livre nan men a wa a Babylone nan pa nepe, pa gwo grangou, e pa gwo epidemi.”
37 Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety.
“Gade byen, Mwen va ranmase yo soti nan tout peyi kote Mwen te pouse bourade yo, ale nan kòlè ak raj Mwen an, ak gran endiyasyon Mwen an; epi Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan plas sa a. Epi la, Mwen va fè yo rete anpè.
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
Yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo;
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Epi Mwen va bay yo yon sèl kè ak yon sèl chemen pou yo ka toujou gen lakrent Mwen pou pwòp byen pa yo e pou byen a pitit apre yo.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Mwen va fè yon akò k ap pou tout tan nèt avèk yo, ke Mwen p ap vire kite yo, pou fè yo byen. Konsa Mwen va mete lakrent Mwen anndan kè yo pou yo pa vire kite Mwen.
41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
Mwen va rejwi de yo pou fè byen pou yo. E Mwen va, ak fidelite, plante yo nan peyi sa a, ak tout kè Mwen e ak tout nanm Mwen.”
42 For thus saith the LORD; As I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
Paske SENYÈ a di, “Menm jan ke M te mennen tout gwo dezas sa a sou pèp sa a, konsa Mwen va mennen sou yo tout bonte ke Mwen ap pwomèt yo.
43 And fields shall be bought in this land, of which ye say, [It is] desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Chan yo va vin achte nan peyi sa a kote ou te di: ‘Sa se yon dezolasyon, san moun ni bèt. Li livre nan men a Kaldeyen yo.’
44 Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal [them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
Mesye yo va achte chan yo pou lajan, siyen, mete so sou papye tè yo, e rele temwen nan peyi Benjamin an, nan andwa a Jérusalem yo, nan vil a Juda yo, nan vil a peyi kolin yo, nan vil nan ba plèn yo, ak nan vil dezè yo; paske Mwen va ranvèse kaptivite yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
