Jeremi 32

1 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi yon lòt fwa ankò. Lè sa a Sedesyas te gen dizan depi li te wa peyi Jida, Nèbikadneza te gen dizwitan depi li te wa lavil Babilòn.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.

2 Lame wa Babilòn lan te sènen lavil Jerizalèm. Yo te arete pwofèt Jeremi, yo te fèmen l' nan lakou palè wa Jida a kote gad yo ye a.

For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

3 Se Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, ki te fè fèmen pwofèt la la, paske li t'ap fè l' repwòch dèske li te bay mesaj sa a nan non Bondye Seyè a: M'ap lage lavil Jerizalèm nan men wa Babilòn lan. L'ap pran l'.

For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, 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;

4 Wa Sedesyas p'ap chape anba men moun Kalde yo. M'ap lage l' nan men wa Babilòn lan. L'a konparèt devan wa a, y'a pale yonn ak lòt, je nan je.

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;

5 Apre sa, y'a mennen Sedesyas lavil Babilòn, li va rete la jouk m'a regle avè l'. Menm si nou goumen ak moun Babilòn yo, nou p'ap janm genyen lagè a. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

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.

6 Lè sa a, Jeremi rakonte ki jan Seyè a te pale avè l'. Seyè a te di l' konsa:

And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

7 -Anamèl, kouzen ou lan, pitit Chaloum, tonton ou bò papa, pral vin wè ou. Li pral mande ou pou achte yon jaden li genyen lavil Anatòt, paske se ou menm ki fanmi pi pre ak li, se ou menm an premye ki gen dwa achte l'.

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.

8 Se konsa, jan Seyè a te fè m' konnen an, kouzen m' Anamèl vin jwenn mwen nan lakou palè kote gad yo ye a. Li mande m' pou m' achte yon jaden li te genyen lavil Anatòt, nan peyi moun Benjamen yo. Li di se mwen an premye ki gen dwa achte l' paske se mwen ki fanmi pi pre ak li. Konsa, se mwen ki pou achte l' nan men l'. Lè sa a, mwen vin sèten se Seyè a menm ki te pale avè m'.

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.

9 M' achte jaden an nan men Anamèl, pitit tonton m' lan, mwen peze lajan pou m' ba li a. Lajan an te rive disèt pyès an ajan.

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.

10 Apre sa, mwen siyen de papye tè yo, mwen mete so m' sou yonn. Mwen fè temwen yo siyen tou, mwen fè kontwole pèz lajan an nan balans.

And I signed the deed, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

11 Apre sa, mwen pran de papye tè yo. Sa ki te sele a te gen kontra lavant lan jan lalwa mande l' la. Lòt papye a te rete tou louvri.

So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:

12 Mwen renmèt papye tè yo bay Bawouk, pitit gason Nerija, pitit pitit Makseja, devan Anamèl, kouzen m' lan, devan lòt temwen ki te siyen papye tè yo, devan tout moun peyi Jida ki te la nan lakou gad palè a.

And I gave the deed 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 signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.

13 Devan yo tout, mwen di Bawouk konsa:

And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

14 -Men lòd Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay. Pran de papye tè sa yo, sa ki sele a ak sa ki tou louvri a, mete yo nan yon ti kannari pou yo ka konsève pandan lontan.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.

15 Paske yon lè yo va achte kay, jaden ak pye rezen nan peyi a ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

16 Apre mwen te fin bay Bawouk, pitit gason Nerija a, papye tè yo, mwen lapriyè Seyè a, mwen di l':

Now when I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,

17 -Aa, Seyè, Bondye! Se avèk fòs kouraj ou, se avèk gwo pouvwa ou ou te fè syèl la ak latè a. Anyen pa twò difisil pou ou.

Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and outstretched arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:

18 Ou fè mil jenerasyon nan yon fanmi wè jan ou gen bon kè. Men tou, ou fè pitit peye pou peche papa ak manman yo te fè. Ou se yon Bondye ki gen pouvwa, ki gen fòs. Yo rele ou: Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.

Thou showest lovingkindness to thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,

19 Plan travay ou, se gwo zafè. Yo pa ka konte bèl bagay ou fè yo. Je ou louvri sou tou sa moun ap fè, pou bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre sa yo fè, dapre jan yo mennen bak yo.

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:

20 Depi nan tan lontan rive jouk jounen jòdi a, ou te fè mirak ak mèvèy nan peyi Lejip, nan peyi Izrayèl ak nan tout lòt nasyon yo. Konsa, koulye a yo konnen ou toupatou.

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;

21 Ou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip ak fòs ponyèt ou ak gwo kouraj ou. Ou te fè anpil mirak ak anpil mèvèy, anpil bagay ki te fè moun pè.

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 outstretched arm, and with great terror;

22 Ou te ba yo peyi ou te pwomèt ou t'ap bay zansèt yo a, peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo.

And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

23 Yo rive nan peyi a, yo pran l' pou yo, men yo derefize koute ou. Yo pa viv jan ou te mande yo viv la. Yo pa fè tou sa ou te ba yo lòd fè a. Se konsa, ou voye tout gwo malè sa a sou yo jòdi a.

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 didst command them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

24 Moun Babilòn yo sènen lavil la, y'ap anpile tè nan pye miray yo, y'ap pwoche pou yo pran lavil la. Nou ta mèt di lavil la nan men yo deja. Lagè, grangou ak move maladi fin kraze kouraj moun yo. Ou wè sa ou te di a rive vre.

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.

25 Wi, sa ki rete pou lavil la tonbe nan men moun Babilòn yo pa anyen. Poukisa atò, Seyè Bondye, ou ban m' lòd achte jaden sa a pou lajan kach devan temwen?

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.

26 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l' konsa:

Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,

27 -Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen se Bondye tout moun sou latè. Pa gen anyen ki twò difisil pou m' fè.

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

28 Se poutèt sa, mwen menm mwen di ou: m'ap lage lavil sa a nan men moun Babilòn yo, nan men Nèbikadneza, wa yo a! Y'ap pran lavil la.

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

29 Moun Babilòn k'ap atake lavil la pral antre ladan l'. Y'ap mete dife, y'ap boule l'. Y'ap mete dife nan kay kote moun yo te fè m' fache anpil la, lè yo te moute anwo twati a pou boule lansan pou Baal, pou fè ofrann diven pou lòt bondye.

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.

30 Paske, moun Izrayèl yo ak moun Jida yo, se sa ki mal ase y'ap fè depi nan konmansman. Wi, moun Izrayèl yo, se fache y'ap fè m' fache ase ak tou sa y'ap fè a. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

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.

31 Lavil Jerizalèm sa a, depi jou yo te bati l' la rive jouk jòdi a, se kòlè l'ap fè m' fè, se move san l'ap fè m' fè. Kifè koulye a, mwen pa ka wè l' devan je m' ankò.

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,

32 Akòz tou sa moun peyi Izrayèl yo ak moun peyi Jida yo te fè ki mal, m' about ak yo tout, ni wa yo, ni chèf yo, ni prèt yo, ni pwofèt yo, ni moun peyi Jida yo, ni moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.

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.

33 Yo vire do ban mwen. Malgre mwen pa t' janm sispann montre yo sa pou yo fè, yo pa t' vle koute m', yo pa vle aprann.

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.

34 Yo mete vye zidòl yo nan tanp yo te mete apa pou mwen an, yo fè tanp lan pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi m' ankò.

But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

35 Yo bati lotèl pou Baal nan Fon Benninon an, yo ofri pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo pou yo touye pou Molòk, bagay mwen pa t' janm ba yo lòd fè, bagay ki pa t' janm vin nan lide m'. Lè yo fè bagay degoutan sa a, yo fè pèp Jida a tonbe nan peche.

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.

36 Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa: -Koulye a mwen ta renmen di yon lòt bagay sou lavil Jerizalèm. Ou te di ansanm ak lòt yo: Lagè, grangou ak move maladi ap fini ak lavil la, l'ap tonbe nan men wa Babilòn lan.

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;

37 Enben, wi! Mwen te fache sou yo, mwen te move anpil, mwen te fè gwo kòlè. Lè sa a, mwen gaye yo nan yon bann peyi. Men, mwen pral sanble yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen isit la ankò pou yo ka viv san kè sote.

Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where 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:

38 Lè sa a, yo menm y'a tounen pèp ki apa pou mwen an ankò, mwen menm m'a tounen Bondye yo ankò.

And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

39 Sèl lide m'ap mete nan tèt yo tout, sèl anvi m'a ba yo tout, se pou yo gen krentif pou mwen tout tan. Se va pou byen yo ak pou byen pitit pitit yo.

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:

40 M'ap pase yon kontra ak yo ki p'ap janm kase. M'ap pran angajman mwen p'ap janm lage yo. Mwen p'ap janm sispann fè yo byen. Wi, m'a fè yo gen krentif pou mwen ak tout kè yo. Konsa, yo p'ap janm vire do ban mwen ankò.

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.

41 M'a pran plezi pou m' fè yo byen. M'a travay ak tout kè m' ak tout nanm mwen pou yo pran rasin nèt nan peyi a.

Yea, 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.

42 Seyè a di ankò: Menm jan se mwen menm ki te fè gwo malè sa a rive pèp la, konsa tou, se mwen menm ki pral ba yo tout bon bagay mwen te pwomèt m'ap ba yo.

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.

43 W'ap di ansanm ak lòt moun yo: Peyi a fini. Pa gen yon moun, pa gen yon bèt ladan l'. Yo lage peyi a nan men moun Babilòn yo. Men yon lè, moun va achte tè nan peyi a ankò.

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.

44 Wi, nan tout peyi Benjamen an, nan tout ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj lavil Jerizalèm yo, nan tout lavil Jida yo, nan lavil ki nan mòn yo, nan tout lavil ki nan plenn yo, bò lanmè, ak nan sid peyi a, moun va achte jaden, y'a pase papye tè, y'a sele yo, y'a fè temwen siyen yo. Paske m'ap fè pèp la tounen nan peyi a ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Jerizalèm

Men shall buy fields for money, and sign deeds, 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 captives to return, saith the LORD.
