Jeremiah 25
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, — it [is] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, —
Pawòl ki te rive kote Jérémie konsènan tout pèp a Juda a, nan katriyèm ane a Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, (ki te nan premye ane Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan),
2 Which Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even unto all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te pale a tout pèp Juda a e a tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem yo. Li te di:
3 'From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and unto this day — this three and twentieth year — hath the word of Jehovah been unto me, and I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened;
Depi nan trèzyèm ane Josias, fis a Amon an, wa Juda a, menm rive nan jou sa a, pandan venn-twazan sila yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Konsa, mwen te pale avèk nou; mwen te leve bonè pou pale ak nou, men nou pa t koute, ni nou pa t panche zòrèy nou pou tande.
4 And Jehovah hath sent unto you all His servants, the prophets, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying:
SENYÈ a te voye bannou tout sèvitè Li yo ak pwofèt yo. Li te leve bonè pou voye yo, men nou pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy nou pou koute,
5 'Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that Jehovah hath given to you and to your fathers from age unto age,
Li te di: “Vire koulye a nou tout e kite wout mechan nou, mechanste a zak nou yo pou vin rete nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou ak papa zansèt nou yo pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan.
6 And ye do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do ye provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;
Pa mache dèyè lòt dye pou sèvi e adore yo, ni pa pwovoke M a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo. Konsa, Mwen p ap fè nou okenn mal.”
7 And ye have not hearkened unto Me — an affirmation of Jehovah — so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
“Sepandan, nou pa t janm koute Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou nou ka pwovoke m a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo, jis rive nan pwòp donmaj nou.”
8 'Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Because that ye have not obeyed My words,
Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Akoz nou pa t obeyi pawòl Mwen yo,
9 Lo, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north — an affirmation of Jehovah — even unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for wastes age-during.
gade byen, Mwen va voye pran tout fanmi nò yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen va voye kote Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, sèvitè Mwen an. Mwen va fè yo vini kont peyi sa a, kont tout moun ki rete ladann yo, e kont tout nasyon ki antoure li yo. Konsa, Mwen va detwi yo nèt, fè yo vin yon gwo laperèz, yon objè moun sifle kon koulèv ak yon dezolasyon k ap la pou tout tan.
10 And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
Anplis, Mwen va retire sou yo vwa ki plen ak lajwa a, e vwa a kè kontan an, vwa a jennonm ki fenk marye, vwa a jenn fi marye a, son a wòch moulen yo ak limyè a lanp lan.
11 And all this land hath been for a waste, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.
Tout peyi sa a va vin yon dezolasyon ak yon gwo laperèz, e nasyon sa yo va sèvi wa Babylone nan pandan swasann-dis ane.”
12 'And it hath come to pass, at the fulness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation — an affirmation of Jehovah — their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for desolations age-during.
“Konsa, li va vin rive ke lè swasann-dis ane vin fini, Mwen va pini wa Babylone nan ak nasyon sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou inikite pa yo. Pou peyi Kaldeyen yo, Mwen va fè li vin yon dezolasyon nèt jis pou tout tan.
13 And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, that Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations.
Mwen va fè rive sou peyi sa a tout pawòl Mwen ke Mwen te pwononse kont li, tout sa ki ekri nan liv sa a, ke Jérémie te fè kon pwofesi kont tout nasyon sa yo.
14 For laid service on them — also them — have many nations and great kings, and I have given recompence to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.
(Paske, anpil nasyon ak gwo wa va fè yo vin esklav, menm yo menm. Konsa, Mwen va rekonpanse yo selon zèv yo.)”
15 'For thus said Jehovah God of Israel unto me, Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and thou hast caused all the nations to drink it unto whom I am sending thee;
Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la di mwen: “Pran tas diven kòlè sa a soti nan men Mwen, e fè tout nasyon kote Mwen voye ou yo bwè l.
16 And they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shewn themselves foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.
Yo va bwè, kilbite e vin fou akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami yo.”
17 'And I take the cup out of the hand of Jehovah, and cause all the nations to drink unto whom Jehovah sent me:
Konsa, mwen te pran tas la nan men SENYÈ a, e mwen te fè tout nasyon sou sila SENYÈ a te voye mwen yo, bwè l:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to waste, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day.
Jérusalem ak vil Juda yo, wa pa li yo ak prens li yo, pou fè yo vin detwi nèt, yon gwo laperèz, yon objè k ap fè moun sifle anlè kon koulèv, yon madichon, jis jan sa ye jodi a;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
Farawon, wa Égypte la, sèvitè li yo, prens li yo ak tout pèp li a;
20 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,
epi tout etranje yo, tout wa peyi Uts yo, tout wa peyi Filisten yo, menm Askalon, Gaza, Ékron, ak sila ki rete Asdod yo;
21 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Édom, Moab ak fis Ammon yo;
22 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Zidon, And the kings of the isle that [is] beyond the sea,
epi tout wa Tyr yo, tout wa Sidon yo ak wa peyi kot ki lòtbò lanmè yo;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
Dedan ak Théma, ak Buz e tout sila ki koupe kwen cheve yo;
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
epi tout wa Arabie yo ak tout wa a pèp etranje ki rete nan dezè yo;
25 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
epi tout wa Zimri yo, tout wa a Élam yo ak tout wa a Médie yo;
26 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off, one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinketh after them.
epi tout wa nò yo, ni pre, ni lwen, youn avèk lòt; epi tout wayòm latè ki sou sifas tè a. Wa Schéschac la va bwè apre yo.
27 And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts God of Israel, Drink ye, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
“Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, “Bwè, vin sou, vomi, tonbe e pa leve ankò akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami nou an.”’
28 And it hath come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of thy hand to drink, That thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do certainly drink.
Epi li va vin rive ke si yo refize pran tas la nan men ou pou bwè, alò ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Anverite, nou va bwè!
29 For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am beginning to do evil, And ye — ye are entirely acquitted! Ye are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
Paske gade byen, Mwen ap kòmanse fè yon zèv k ap yon kalamite nan vil sa a, ki rele pa non Mwen an. Èske nou dwe konplètman chape anba pinisyon? Nou p ap chape anba pinisyon, paske Mwen ap fè apèl nepe a kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”’
30 And thou, thou dost prophesy unto them all these words, and hast said unto them: Jehovah from the high place doth roar, And from His holy habitation giveth forth His voice, He surely roareth for His habitation, A shout as of treaders down, God answereth all the inhabitants of the land,
“Akoz sa, ou va pwofetize kont yo ak tout pawòl sa yo. Ou va di yo: ‘SENYÈ a va gwonde fò depi anwo; vwa l va eksprime depi nan abitasyon sen li an. Li va gwonde ak pwisans kont bann mouton pa li an. Li va rele fò tankou sila k ap foule rezen yo, kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo.
31 Wasting hath come unto the end of the earth, For a controversy hath Jehovah with nations, He hath executed judgment for all flesh, The wicked! He hath given them to the sword, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Yon zen va rive soti nan dènye ekstremite latè, akoz SENYÈ a gen yon kont pou regle ak tout nasyon yo. Li va antre nan jijman ak tout chè yo. Pou mechan yo, li va livre yo a nepe,’” deklare SENYÈ a.
32 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Gade byen, mal la va sòti vin parèt de nasyon a nasyon, e yon gwo tanpèt va tòde jis rive nan pwent pi lwen de mond lan.
33 And the pierced of Jehovah have been in that day, From the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are.
Sila ki touye pa SENYÈ yo nan jou sa a va soti nan yon pwent latè jis rive nan lòt la. Yo p ap kriye pou yo, vin ranmase yo, ni antere. Yo va tankou fimye bèt sou sifas latè.
34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, ye honourable of the flock, For full have been your days, For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And ye have fallen as a desirable vessel.
Kriye fò, nou menm k ap fè bèje yo; rele anmwey! Woule kò nou nan sann, nou menm ki mèt a bann mouton yo; paske jou a masak nou yo ak egzil la fin rive, e nou va tonbe kon veso pi chwazi a.
35 And perished hath refuge from the shepherds, And escape from the honourable of the flock.
Sove ale pa p posib pou bèje yo. Mèt bann mouton yo p ap chape.
36 A voice [is] of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the honourable of the flock, For Jehovah is spoiling their pasture.
Tande kri a bèje yo, ak plent a mèt bann mouton yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a ap detwi patiraj yo,
37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.
Epi pak mouton lapè yo tonbe an silans, akoz gwo kòlè SENYÈ a.”
38 He hath forsaken, as a young lion, His covert, Surely their land hath become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!
Li soti nan kote kachèt Li yo kon lyon an, paske peyi yo te devni yon gwo laperèz akoz gwo vyolans nepe k ap oprime, e akoz gwo raj a kòlè Li.
