Jeremi 43
1 Lè Jeremi fin di pèp la tou sa Seyè a, Bondye yo a, te voye l' di yo, ki vle di tout pawòl ki ekri pi wo a,
Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them,
2 Azarya, pitit Ochaya a, Jokanan, pitit Kareyak la, ansanm ak tout lòt mesye awogan yo di Jeremi konsa: -Manti! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa kras voye ou di nou pa desann al rete nan peyi Lejip.
Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’
3 Se Bawouk, pitit Nerija a, k'ap moute tèt ou sou nou. Li ta renmen lage nou nan men moun Babilòn yo pou yo touye nou, pou yo depòte nou lavil Babilòn.
Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.”
4 Se konsa, Jokanan, pitit Kareyak la, lòt chèf lame yo ansanm ak tout rès pèp la derefize koute pawòl Seyè a ki te di yo pou yo rete nan peyi Jida a.
And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah.
5 Lè sa a, Jokanan ak tout lòt chèf lame yo pran dènye moun ki te rete nan peyi Jida a, yo pati. Yo mennen tout moun ki te kite lòt peyi kote yo te gaye yo pou tounen vin viv nan peyi Jida a,
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah:
6 fanm kou gason, tout timoun yo, tout pitit fi wa a. Yo mennen tout moun Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te kite avèk Gedalya, pitit Akikam, pitit pitit Chafan. Yo pran pwofèt Jeremi ansanm ak Bawouk, pitit Nerija a, avèk yo tou.
men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah.
7 Yo pa koute lòd Seyè a, yo rive jouk lavil Tapanès.
And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes.
8 Antan yo te lavil Tapanès, Seyè a pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying:
9 -Pran kèk gwo wòch, antere yo nan mòtye pave ki devan pòt pou antre kay farawon an, lavil Tapanès. W'a fè l' pou moun peyi Jida yo wè ou ap fè l'.
“Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
10 Lèfini, w'a di yo: men mesaj Seyè ki gen pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay: Mwen pral voye chache sèvitè m' lan, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, mwen pral enstale fotèy li a nan anplasman kote wòch yo antere isit la. Se la l'a moute tant li a anwo yo.
And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.
11 Lè l'a rive, l'ap kraze peyi Lejip. Moun ki pou mouri anba move maladi va mouri, moun yo gen pou depòte yo, y'a depòte yo, moun pou l' fè touye yo, l'a fè touye yo.
And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.
12 L'a mete dife nan kay tout bondye moun peyi Lejip yo. L'ap boule bondye moun Lejip yo osinon l'a pran yo, l'a pote yo ale avè l'. Menm jan yon gadò mouton netwaye dènye vèmen ki nan rad li, konsa tou wa a pral piye peyi Lejip la kite l' blanch. Lèfini, l'ap vire do l' san pesonn pa di l' anyen.
And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace.
13 L'ap kraze tout gwo moniman wòch lavil Eliopolis nan peyi Lejip, l'ap boule tout kay zidòl peyi Lejip yo.
And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”
