< 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 there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time — and he [is] yet detained 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 said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at establishing it, Jehovah [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 unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things — thou hast not known them.
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 said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool;
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.
they are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
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.
Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed 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.
And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built 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.
And cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they 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.
And it hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing 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
Thus said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, 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.
Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah [is] good, For His kindness [is] to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at the first, said Jehovah.
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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place — that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities — a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock 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 low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the numberer, said Jehovah.
14 Seyè a di ankò: Yon jou pral vini, mwen pral kenbe pwomès mwen te fè moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo.
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have established the good word That I spake unto 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 cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness 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 is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: 'Our Righteousness.'
17 Seyè a di ankò: Va toujou gen yon wa ki soti nan fanmi David la pou gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la.
For thus said Jehovah: 'Not cut off to David is one sitting 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.
And to the priests — the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice — all the days.'
19 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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.
'Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly 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 is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the 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 host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.'
23 Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l':
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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.
'Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise — So that they are no more a people 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 said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed —
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.
Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.'
