Jeremi 27
1 Sedesyas, pitit Jozyas la, te gen katran depi li fèk moute wa nan peyi Jida, lè Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò.
In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from Jehovah.
2 Seyè a di l' konsa: -Pran kòd ak bwa yo sèvi pou fè jouk bèf. Mete yo sou zepòl ou.
Thus said Jehovah to me: Make thee bands and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
3 Lèfini, w'a voye yo bay wa peyi Edon, wa peyi Moab, wa peyi Amon, wa peyi Tir ak wa peyi Sidon. W'a renmèt yo nan men delege wa sa yo ki te vin wè wa Sedesyas lavil Jerizalèm.
and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hands of the messengers that are come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, king of Judah.
4 W'a ba yo chak yon misyon pou mèt yo. W'a di yo men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ba yo pou mèt yo:
And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to your masters:
5 -Se mwen menm avèk gwo kouraj mwen epi ak fòs ponyèt mwen ki fè latè ansanm ak tout moun ak tout bèt k'ap viv sou latè. Mwen pran yo bay moun mwen vle.
The earth, and the men and the beasts which are upon the earth, have I made by my great power and my outstretched arm, and I give it to whomsoever it seemeth meet to me.
6 Se konsa, mwen lage tout peyi nou yo nan men Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn, sèvitè m' lan. Mwen ba li ata bèt nan bwa yo pou yo soumèt devan l'.
And now I give all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant; the beasts of the field also I give him to serve him.
7 Tout nasyon yo va sèvi l'. Y'a sèvi pitit li ak pitit pitit li jouk lè a va rive pou lòt nasyon ki pi fò pase l' yo, lòt wa ki pi gran pase l' yo va fè peyi pa l' la sèvi yo tou.
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land, even his, shall come, and then shall many nations and great kings make him their servant.
8 Men si yon nasyon osinon yon wa ak tout pèp li derefize soumèt devan Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, si yonn ladan yo refize bese tèt devan otorite li pou obeyi l', m'ap voye lagè, grangou, move maladi sou nasyon sa a pou pini l' jouk m'a fè Nèbikadneza fini nèt ak li.
And the nation and the kingdom that will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, —with the sword and with famine and with pestilence will I punish that nation, saith Jehovah, until I have consumed them by his hand.
9 Pa koute pwofèt nou yo, ni divinò nou yo, ni ankenn lòt moun ki pretann yo konnen sa ki pral rive nou, paske yo fè rèv pou nou, osinon paske yo ka li sa k'ap pase nan syèl la ou ankò paske yo konn fè maji. Yo tout ap plede di nou p'ap janm sèvi wa Babilòn lan.
Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, and your diviners, and your dreamers, your soothsayers, and your sorcerers, who say to you, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon.
10 Se manti y'ap ban nou. Si nou koute yo, y'ap depòte nou byen lwen peyi nou an. Se mwen menm k'ap mete nou deyò. Lèfini, nou tout pral mouri.
For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and that ye should perish.
11 Men, si yon nasyon asepte bese tèt li devan otorite wa Babilòn lan pou sèvi l', m'a kite l' nan peyi l', l'a travay latè, l'a rete lakay li. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith Jehovah, and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 Mwen pale ak Sedesyas, wa Jida a, mwen di l' menm bagay la tou: -Ou menm ansanm ak pèp la, se pou nou bese tèt devan otorite wa Babilòn lan. Se pou nou sèvi ni li ni pèp li a, konsa n'a viv.
And to Zedekiah, king of Judah, also, spake I according to all these words, and said: Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
13 Pa gen rezon pou nou mouri, ou menm ak tout pèp ou a, nan lagè, nan grangou, anba move maladi. Paske se sa Seyè a te di ki gen pou rive tout nasyon ki va derefize soumèt devan wa Babilòn lan.
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Gen yon bann pwofèt k'ap plede di nou p'ap janm sèvi wa Babilòn lan. Pa koute yo. Se manti y'ap bay.
Therefore hearken not to the prophets, that say to you, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
15 Se Seyè a menm ki di se pa li menm ki voye yo. Yo pran non l' pou ban nou manti. Si nou koute yo, m'ap mete nou deyò, m'ap fè nou mouri, ni nou ni pwofèt k'ap ban nou manti yo.
For I have not sent them, saith Jehovah; but they prophesy a lie in my name, that I may drive you out, and that ye may perish, ye and the prophets that prophesy to you.
16 Apre sa, mwen pale ak prèt yo ansanm ak pèp la, mwen di yo: -Men mesaj Seyè a bay. Pa koute pwofèt yo k'ap plede di nou yo pral pote tounen soti lavil Babilòn tout bagay yo te pran nan tanp lan. Se manti y'ap bay.
To the priests, also, and to all the people; spake I, saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hearken not to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, and say, Behold the vessels of the house of Jehovah shall be brought back from Babylon now shortly; for they prophesy a lie to you.
17 Pa koute yo. Soumèt devan wa Babilòn lan, konsa n'a viv. Pa gen rezon pou nou fè lavil Jerizalèm lan tounen mazi.
Hearken ye not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live! Why should this city become a desolation?
18 Si yo se pwofèt tout bon, si yo resevwa yon mesaj nan men Seyè a tout bon vre, enben, se pou y' al mande Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a pou li pa kite yo pran rès bon bagay ki nan Tanp lan, ak rès bon bagay ki lakay wa peyi Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm lan pou pote yo ale lavil Babilòn.
But if they be indeed prophets, and if the word of Jehovah be with them, let them now make intercession to Jehovah of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
19 Seyè a t'ap pale sou gwo poto kwiv yo, sou gwo basen lan ansanm ak pye l' yo, sou tout lòt richès ki te nan lavil la toujou.
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are let in this city,
20 Se bagay sa yo Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, te kite lavil Jerizalèm lè li t'ap depòte Jekonya, pitit Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, lavil Babilòn, ansanm ak grannèg peyi Jida yo ak grannèg lavil Jerizalèm yo.
which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 Wi, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te di sou rès bon bagay ki te nan kay Seyè a, nan kay wa Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm:
yea, thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem:
22 Y'ap pote yo ale lavil Babilòn. Y'ap rete la jouk lè m'a vin pran yo pou m' fè yo tounen nan plas yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day when I shall visit them, saith Jehovah. Then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
