Jeremi 33
1 Jeremi te nan prizon toujou nan lakou palè kote gad yo ye a lè Seyè a pale avè l' ankò. Li di l':
Moreover the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 -Se mwen menm ki fè latè a, ki ba li fòm, ki kenbe l' nan plas li. Se mwen menm yo rele Seyè a. Men sa mwen di:
“The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:
3 Rele m', m'a reponn ou. M'a fè ou konnen yon bann gwo bagay, yon bann mèvèy ou pa t' janm konnen.
‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you do not know.’
4 Wi, men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen di sou kay lavil Jerizalèm yo, sou kay wa peyi Jida yo, ki fin kraze paske moun Babilòn yo sènen lavil la, y'ap atake l'.
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword:
5 Gen moun ki soti pou kenbe tèt ak moun Babilòn yo. Moun sa yo lakòz kay yo pral plen kadav moun mwen pral touye tèlman mwen fache, tèlman mwen move. Mwen p'ap okipe lavil Jerizalèm ankò paske moun li yo fè twòp mechanste.
‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,
6 Men, mwen pral ba yo renmèd pou yo sa gaya. M'ap geri yo. M'ap fè yo konnen jan sa bon lè moun viv ak kè poze san ankenn danje.
behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 M'ap fè peyi Izrayèl ak peyi Jida kanpe ankò. Zafè yo pral mache tankou nan tan lontan.
I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
8 M'ap mete yo nan kondisyon pou yo sèvi m', m'ap wete tout peche yo te fè kont mwen yo. M'ap padonnen tou sa yo te fè ki mal lè yo t'ap fè wòklò avè m' lan.
I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
9 Lè sa a, lavil Jerizalèm pral fè kè m' kontan. Li pral sèvi yon lwanj pou mwen, yon bèl bagay devan tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè. Lè y'a konnen tout byen mwen pral fè pou moun Jerizalèm yo, lè y'a wè tout bèl bagay m'a fè pou yo, y'a tranble tèlman y'a pè, y'a sezi.
This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”
10 Seyè a di ankò: Y'ap di peyi a tounen yon dezè, pa gen moun, pa gen bèt ladan l'. Se vre wi. Lavil peyi Jida yo, tout lari lavil Jerizalèm blanch: ou pa jwenn ni moun, ni bèt ladan yo. Men nan peyi a y'a tande ankò
The LORD says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
11 vwa moun k'ap pran plezi yo, moun ki gen kè kontan. Y'a tande mizik pou moun k'ap marye yo. Y'a tande moun k'ap chante lè y'ap pote ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi nan tanp Seyè a. Y'a di: Lwanj pou Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a paske li bon! Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou! Wi, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò jan l' te ye anvan an. Se Seyè a ki di sa.
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Armies, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says the LORD.
12 Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: -Nan peyi sa a ki fini, peyi kote ou pa jwenn ni moun ni bèt la nan tout lavil yo, va gen kote pou gadò mouton yo mennen mouton yo al manje.
The LORD of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 Nan lavil ki nan mòn yo, nan lavil ki nan plenn yo bò lanmè a ak nan sid peyi a, nan tout peyi Benjamen an, nan tout ti bouk nan vwazinaj Jerizalèm yo, nan tout lavil Jida yo, gadò mouton yo va fè mouton pase devan yo yonn apre lòt pou konte yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says the LORD.
14 Seyè a di ankò: Yon jou pral vini, mwen pral kenbe pwomès mwen te fè moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo.
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
15 Jou sa a, lè sa a, m'a fè yon nonm soti nan fanmi David la pou gouvènen yo. Se va yon wa ki va fè sa ki dwat, ki p'ap nan patipri.
“In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
16 Lè sa a, moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo va sove, y'a viv san kè sote. Y'a rele lavil Jerizalèm Seyè a, Delivrans nou an.
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: The LORD our righteousness.”
17 Seyè a di ankò: Va toujou gen yon wa ki soti nan fanmi David la pou gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la.
For the LORD says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
18 Va toujou gen prèt nan fanmi Levi a pou sèvi m' nan tanp lan, pou boule ofrann nan dife pou mwen, pou fè ofrann grenn jaden ak lòt ofrann bèt pou mwen chak jou.
The Levitical priests will not lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
19 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 -Mwen pase yon kontra ak lajounen, yon kontra ak lannwit pou yo toujou rive lè pou yo rive a. Eske nou ka kraze kontra sa yo? Non.
“The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
21 Enben, konsa tou, mwen siyen yon kontra ak David, sèvitè m' lan, pou toujou gen yonn nan pitit li yo chita sou fotèy wa a nan peyi a. Mwen siyen yon kontra ak moun Levi yo ansanm ak prèt k'ap sèvi m' yo. Kontra sa yo p'ap janm kase.
then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he will not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.
22 Mwen pral fè fanmi David, sèvitè m' lan, peple. Mwen pral fè moun Levi k'ap sèvi m' yo peple sitèlman yo p'ap ka konte kantite ki genyen. Y'ap tankou zetwal nan syèl la, tankou grenn sab bò lanmè.
As the army of the sky cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
23 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 -Ou tande jan moun yo ap di mwen voye moun Izrayèl yo ak moun Jida yo jete, de fanmi mwen menm mwen te chwazi pou mwen yo! Se konsa y'ap meprize pèp mwen an. Yo pa konsidere l' tankou yon nasyon ankò.
“Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
25 Men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen di: Mwen fè yon kontra ak lajounen, mwen fè yon kontra ak lannwit. Mwen bay regleman jan pou tout bagay nan syèl la ak sou latè a mache.
The LORD says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,
26 Menm jan m'ap toujou kenbe kontra sa yo, konsa tou m'ap toujou kenbe pawòl mwen ak pitit Jakòb yo, mwen p'ap janm voye pitit pitit David, sèvitè m' lan, jete. M'ap toujou chwazi yonn nan fanmi David la pou gouvènen moun ki soti nan ras Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb yo. Wi, m'a gen pitye pou yo, m'a fè yo kanpe ankò.
then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
