< 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':
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, 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:
Thus saith the Lord, who will do, and will form it, and prepare 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.
Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will shew thee great things, and sure things which thou knowest not.
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 thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Juda, which rue destroyed, and to the bulwarks, and to 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.
Of them that come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in my wrath, and in my indignation, hiding my face from this city because of all their 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.
Behold I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth.
7 M'ap fè peyi Izrayèl ak peyi Jida kanpe ankò. Zafè yo pral mache tankou nan tan lontan.
And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning.
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 their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and despised 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.
And it shall be to me a name, and a joy, and a praise, and a gladness before all the nations of the earth, that shall hear of all the good things which I will do to them: and they shall fear and be troubled for all the good things, and for all the peace that I will make for them.
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
Thus saith the Lord: There shall be heard again in this place (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast: in the cities of Juda, and without Jerusalem, which are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast)
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 them that shall say: Give ye glory to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring their vows into the house of the Lord: for I will bring back the captivity of the land as at the first, saith 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.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall be again in this place that is desolate without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an 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.
And in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: and in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda shall the flocks pass again under the hand of him that numbereth them, saith 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, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel, and to the house of Juda.
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 make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David, and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth.
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 shall Juda be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely: and this is the name that they shall call him, The Lord our just one.
17 Seyè a di ankò: Va toujou gen yon wa ki soti nan fanmi David la pou gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la.
For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon 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.
Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually:
19 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, 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.
Thus saith the Lord: If my covenant with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:
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.
Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and 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 stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers.
23 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, 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.
Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen, are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is 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.
Thus saith the Lord: If I have not set my covenant between day and night, and laws to 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.
Surely I will also cast; off the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will bring back their captivity, and will have mercy on them.
