Jeremi 30
1 Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 -Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap pale avè ou. Ekri nan yon liv tou sa mwen te di ou.
“Thus spoke YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you on a scroll.
3 Paske, talè konsa mwen pral fè pèp mwen an, moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo kanpe ankò. M'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt yo, y'a reprann peyi a pou yo ankò.
For behold, days are coming—a declaration of YHWH—and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said YHWH, and I have caused them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they possess it.”
4 Men mesaj Seyè a voye bay moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo.
And these [are] the words that YHWH has spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
5 Mwen tande moun ap rele anmwe. Tout moun tèt anba, yo pa konn sa pou yo fè.
Surely thus said YHWH: “We have heard a voice of trembling, Fear—and there is no peace.
6 Mande sa ki genyen! Al gade non! Eske gason konn pouse pitit? Poukisa mwen wè tout gason men anba tivant tankou fanm ki gen tranche? Y'ap dekonpoze, figi yo rale.
Now ask and see, is a male bringing forth? Why have I seen every man [With] his hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
7 Ala malè, mezanmi! Se yon gwo jou malè k'ap vini. Pa gen jou ki ka parèt devan li. Se va yon tan lafliksyon pou fanmi Jakòb la! Men, y'a chape anba l'.
Woe! For that day [is] great, without any like it, Indeed, it [is] the time of Jacob’s tribulation, Yet he is saved out of it.
8 Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: Lè jou sa a va vini, m'a kraze jouk bèf ki dèyè kou yo a, m'a kase chenn ki nan ren yo a. Yo p'ap janm esklav moun lòt nasyon ankò.
And it has come to pass in that day, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, I break his yoke from off your neck, And I draw away your bands, And strangers lay no more service on him.
9 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, y'a sèvi ansanm ak yon pitit David m'a mete wa sou yo.
And they have served their God YHWH, And David their king whom I raise up to them.
10 Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm pitit Jakòb, sèvitè mwen an. Nou pa bezwen tranble, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl. M'ap vin delivre nou nan peyi lwen sa yo. M'ap vin sove pitit nou yo nan peyi kote yo te depòte nou an. N'ap tounen lakay nou pou nou viv ak kè poze, san pesonn pa chache nou kont ankò.
And you, do not be afraid, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, Nor be frightened, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.
11 M'ap vin jwenn nou, m'ap sove nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap disparèt tout nasyon kote mwen te gaye nou yo. Nou menm, mwen p'ap detwi nou. Men, pou pini se pou m' pini nou, jan sa dwe fèt. Mwen p'ap kite anyen pou nou.
For I [am] with you,” A declaration of YHWH, “To save you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have scattered you, Only, I do not make an end of you, And I have disciplined you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you.”
12 Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a ankò: Pou jan ou donmaje a, pa gen renmèd pou ou. Malenng ou an p'ap janm geri.
For thus said YHWH: “Your breach is incurable, your stroke grievous,
13 Pa gen pesonn pou defann kòz ou. Se vre, yo konn geri malenng. Men, pou malenng pa ou la, pa gen renmèd.
There is none judging your cause to bind up, There are no healing medicines for you.
14 Tout moun ki t'ap fè lamou avè ou yo bliye ou. Yo yonn pa okipe ou ankò. Mwen frape ou, tankou si m' te lènmi ou. Pinisyon an te rèd pou ou, paske peche ou la te grav anpil. Ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste.
All loving you have forgotten you, They do not seek you, For I struck you with the stroke of an enemy, The discipline of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, your sins have been mighty!
15 Poukisa w'ap plenyen pou jan ou donmaje a, pou soufrans ou ki pa ka fini an? Se paske peche ou la te grav anpil, ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste kifè mwen pini ou konsa.
Why do you cry concerning your breach? Your pain [is] incurable, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Your sins have been mighty! I have done these to you.
16 Men, yon lè yo gen pou yo devore moun k'ap devore ou koulye a. Y'ap fè tout moun ki pa vle wè ou yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo. Y'ap piye moun k'ap piye ou yo. Y'ap fini ak moun k'ap fini avè ou yo.
Therefore all consuming you are consumed, And all your adversaries—all of them—Go into captivity, And your spoilers have been for a spoil, And I give up all your plunderers to plunder.
17 Nou menm moun Siyon, yo te rele nou: moun yo mete deyò. Yo t'ap di: pa gen moun pou okipe nou. Men, se mwen menm k'ap ban nou renmèd, k'ap geri tout malenng nou yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
For I increase health to you, And I heal you from your strokes,” A declaration of YHWH, “For they have called you an outcast, [saying], It [is] Zion, There is none seeking for her.”
18 Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral fè moun fanmi Jakòb yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo. Mwen pral gen pitye pou chak fanmi. Yo pral rebati lavil yo sou anplasman vye mazi yo. Yo pral rebati gwo bèl kay yo kote yo te ye anvan an.
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And I pity his dwelling places, And the city has been built on its heap, And the palace remains according to its ordinance.
19 Y'a tande moun ap chante lakay yo, y'a tande moun ap rele tèlman yo kontan. M'ap fè yo peple, yo p'ap fin disparèt. M'ap fè moun fè lwanj yo. Moun p'ap meprize yo ankò.
And thanksgiving has gone forth from them, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honorable, and they are not small.
20 Pitit gason yo va tankou nan tan lontan. M'ap fè peyi a kanpe byen fèm ankò devan mwen. M'a pini tout moun k'ap peze yo.
And his sons have been as before, And his congregation is established before Me, And I have seen after all his oppressors.
21 Se yonn nan nou ki va chèf nan peyi a. Wi, se nan mitan nou yon chèf va soti pou gouvènen nou. L'a vin jwenn mwen lè m'a rele l'. Paske pesonn p'ap pran chans vin jwenn mwen si mwen pa rele l'. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
And his majestic one has been of himself, And his ruler goes forth from his midst, And I have caused him to draw near, And he has drawn near to Me, For who [is] he who has pledged his heart To draw near to Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
22 Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'a ye ankò, mwen menm m'a Bondye yo.
“And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.”
23 Lè Bondye ankòlè se tankou yon van tanpèt, yon siklòn k'ap tonbe sou tèt mechan yo.
Behold, a whirlwind of YHWH—Fury has gone forth—a cutting whirlwind, It stays on the head of the wicked.
24 Li p'ap sispann toutotan li pa fin fè tou sa li soti pou li fè a. Nan jou k'ap vini yo, pèp la va konprann sa pi byen.
The fierceness of the anger of YHWH Does not turn back until He has done [it], Indeed, until His establishing the purposes of His heart. In the latter end of the days you consider it!
