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':
While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time:
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:
“Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it, the LORD is His name:
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 and show you great and unsearchable things 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 this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses of this city and the palaces of the kings of Judah that have been torn down for defense against the siege ramps and 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.
The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill those places with the corpses of the men I will strike down in My anger and in My wrath. I have hidden My face from this city because of all its wickedness.
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.
Nevertheless, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal its people and reveal to them the 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 Judah and Israel from captivity and will rebuild them as in former times.
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.
And I will cleanse them from all the iniquity they have committed against Me, and will forgive all their sins of rebellion 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.
So this city will bring Me renown, joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I do for it. They will tremble in awe because of all the goodness and prosperity that I will provide for 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
This is what the LORD says: In this place you say is a wasteland without man or beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted—inhabited by neither man nor beast—there will be heard again
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 sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those bringing thank offerings into the house of the LORD, saying: ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good; His loving devotion endures forever.’ For I will restore the land from captivity as in former times, 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.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: In this desolate place, without man or beast, and in all its cities, there will once more be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.
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, the foothills, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and the cities surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one 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 are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the gracious promise that I have spoken to the house of Israel and 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 to sprout for David a righteous Branch, and He will administer 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 securely, and this is the name by which it 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 this is what 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.
nor will the priests who are Levites ever fail to have a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to present sacrifices.”
19 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
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.
“This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed 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 may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.
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 hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”
23 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
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.
“Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation.
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.
This is what the LORD says: If I have not established My covenant with the day and the night and the fixed order 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 would also reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have compassion on them.”
