Jeremi 34
1 Yon lòt jou, Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò. Lè sa a, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, t'ap atake lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj li yo. Li te gen avè l' tout lame pa l' la ansanm ak sòlda tout lòt nasyon ak lòt ras li te soumèt anba pouvwa li.
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
2 Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di Jeremi: -Ale pale ak Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, w'a di li konsa: Seyè a pral lage lavil Jerizalèm nan men wa Babilòn lan ki pral mete dife ladan l'.
Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus said the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
3 Ou menm, ou p'ap chape. Y'ap arete ou, y'ap lage ou nan men l' tou. W'a kontre avè l' bab pou bab. W'a pale avè l'. Lèfini, w'ap pati pou Babilòn.
And you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Babylon.
4 Tansèlman, Sedesyas, wa Jida, koute mesaj Seyè a bay pou ou. Ou p'ap mouri nan lagè.
Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus says the LORD of you, You shall not die by the sword:
5 W'ap mouri mouri ou nan kabann ou. Lè sa a, y'a boule lansan pou ou menm jan yo te konn boule lansan pou zansèt ou yo ki te wa anvan ou. Y'a rele pou ou, y'a di: Ki lapenn sa a? Wa a mouri! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Se mwen ki bay mesaj sa a.
But you shall die in peace: and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings which were before you, so shall they burn odors for you; and they will lament you, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, says the LORD.
6 Pwofèt Jeremi bay Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, mesaj sa a lavil Jerizalèm.
Then Jeremiah the prophet spoke all these words to Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
7 Lè sa a, lame wa Babilòn lan t'ap atake lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak de lòt lavil nan peyi Jida, Lakis ak Azeka, ki t'ap kenbe tèt toujou ak lènmi yo, paske yo menm yo te byen pwoteje.
When the king of Babylon’s army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defended cities remained of the cities of Judah.
8 Men nan ki sikonstans Seyè a te pale ak Jeremi ankò. Wa Sedesyas te siyen yon kontra ansanm ak tout pèp lavil Jerizalèm pou yo te bay
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty to them;
9 tout moun menm ras ak yo, fanm kou gason, ki te esklav lakay yo libète yo. Konsa, pesonn nan moun Jida yo pa t'ap gen yon frè parèy yo k'ap sèvi yo esklav.
That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
10 Se konsa, tout chèf yo ansanm ak tout pèp la te tonbe dakò pou yo te bay tout esklav, fanm kou gason, yo te gen lakay yo libète yo, lèfini pou yo pa janm pran yo sèvi esklav ankò. Epi yo bay tout esklav yo libète yo vre.
Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
11 Men apre sa, yo chanje lide, yo pran moun yo te bay libète yo, fanm kou gason, yo fòse yo tounen sèvi yo esklav ankò.
But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
12 Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa:
Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
13 -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Mwen te pase yon kontra avèk zansèt nou yo lè mwen te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te esklav la. Mwen te di yo:
Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves, saying,
14 Lè yon ebre parèy nou vann tèt li ban nou pou l' sèvi nou esklav, apre sizan li pase ap sèvi nou, sou setyèm lanne a se pou nou ba li libète l'. Se pou nou kite l' ale. Men, zansèt nou yo pa t' koute m', yo pa t' okipe sa m' te di yo.
At the end of seven years let you go every man his brother an Hebrew, which has been sold to you; and when he has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers listened not to me, neither inclined their ear.
15 Men nou menm nan jou ki sot pase yo, nou pa t' fè menm jan ak yo, nou te fè sa ki dwat devan mwen. Tout moun te dakò pou yo te bay ebre parèy yo libète yo. Lèfini, nou te pran angajman sa a piblik devan mwen nan kay yo mete apa pou mwen an.
And you were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
16 Apre sa, nou chanje lide, nou pa respekte m'. Nou tout nou fè esklav nou te bay libète yo tounen lakay nou, fanm kou gason, nou fòse yo vin sèvi nou esklav ankò.
But you turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids.
17 Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Seyè a, mwen di nou pa koute m', nou pa bay moun pèp Izrayèl parèy nou yo libète yo. Enben, mwen menm Seyè a, m'ap ban nou libète pou nou mouri nan lagè, nan grangou, osinon anba move maladi.
Therefore thus says the LORD; You have not listened to me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, said the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
18 M'ap mete tout lòt nasyon sou latè yo vant ba lè y'a wè sa ki rive nou.
And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in two, and passed between the parts thereof,
19 Nou menm chèf peyi Jida yo ak grannèg lavil Jerizalèm yo ak lòt gwo zotobre yo, prèt yo ansanm ak tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, nou te pran yon angajman avè m' lè nou te pase nan mitan de mwatye towo bèf nou te ofri ban mwen an. Men nou pa kenbe angajman nou te pran an, nou pa fè sa nou te pwomèt mwen n'ap fè a. Se poutèt sa, sa nou te fè towo bèf nou te ofri ban mwen an, se sa mwen pral fè rive nou.
The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
20 M'ap lage nou nan men lènmi nou yo, nan men moun ki soti pou touye nou yo. Kadav nou va sèvi manje pou zwezo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa.
I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat to the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
21 M'ap pran Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout chèf li yo, m'ap lage yo nan men lènmi yo, nan men moun ki soti pou touye yo. M'ap lage yo nan men lame wa Babilòn lan ki fin leve kan yo pou yo ale.
And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon’s army, which are gone up from you.
22 M'ap pase yo lòd, y'ap tounen vin atake lavil la. Y'ap pran l', y'ap mete dife ladan l'. M'ap fè lavil peyi Jida yo tounen yon dezè san pyès moun ladan yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
Behold, I will command, says the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
