Jeremi 25
1 Pawòl ki te rive kote Jérémie konsènan tout pèp a Juda a, nan katriyèm ane a Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, (ki te nan premye ane Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan),
The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
2 ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te pale a tout pèp Juda a e a tout moun ki te rete Jérusalem yo. Li te di:
which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 Depi nan trèzyèm ane Josias, fis a Amon an, wa Juda a, menm rive nan jou sa a, pandan venn-twazan sila yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Konsa, mwen te pale avèk nou; mwen te leve bonè pou pale ak nou, men nou pa t koute, ni nou pa t panche zòrèy nou pou tande.
"From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
4 SENYÈ a te voye bannou tout sèvitè Li yo ak pwofèt yo. Li te leve bonè pou voye yo, men nou pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy nou pou koute,
The LORD has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear)
5 Li te di: “Vire koulye a nou tout e kite wout mechan nou, mechanste a zak nou yo pou vin rete nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou ak papa zansèt nou yo pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan.
saying, 'Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;
6 Pa mache dèyè lòt dye pou sèvi e adore yo, ni pa pwovoke M a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo. Konsa, Mwen p ap fè nou okenn mal.”
and do not go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and do not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
7 “Sepandan, nou pa t janm koute Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou nou ka pwovoke m a lakòlè ak zèv men nou yo, jis rive nan pwòp donmaj nou.”
Yet you have not listened to me,' says the LORD; 'that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.'
8 Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Akoz nou pa t obeyi pawòl Mwen yo,
Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Because you have not heard my words,
9 gade byen, Mwen va voye pran tout fanmi nò yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen va voye kote Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, sèvitè Mwen an. Mwen va fè yo vini kont peyi sa a, kont tout moun ki rete ladann yo, e kont tout nasyon ki antoure li yo. Konsa, Mwen va detwi yo nèt, fè yo vin yon gwo laperèz, yon objè moun sifle kon koulèv ak yon dezolasyon k ap la pou tout tan.
look, I will send and take all the families of the north,' says the LORD, 'and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Anplis, Mwen va retire sou yo vwa ki plen ak lajwa a, e vwa a kè kontan an, vwa a jennonm ki fenk marye, vwa a jenn fi marye a, son a wòch moulen yo ak limyè a lanp lan.
Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11 Tout peyi sa a va vin yon dezolasyon ak yon gwo laperèz, e nasyon sa yo va sèvi wa Babylone nan pandan swasann-dis ane.”
This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 “Konsa, li va vin rive ke lè swasann-dis ane vin fini, Mwen va pini wa Babylone nan ak nasyon sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou inikite pa yo. Pou peyi Kaldeyen yo, Mwen va fè li vin yon dezolasyon nèt jis pou tout tan.
It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
13 Mwen va fè rive sou peyi sa a tout pawòl Mwen ke Mwen te pwononse kont li, tout sa ki ekri nan liv sa a, ke Jérémie te fè kon pwofesi kont tout nasyon sa yo.
I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this scroll, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 (Paske, anpil nasyon ak gwo wa va fè yo vin esklav, menm yo menm. Konsa, Mwen va rekonpanse yo selon zèv yo.)”
For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.'"
15 Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la di mwen: “Pran tas diven kòlè sa a soti nan men Mwen, e fè tout nasyon kote Mwen voye ou yo bwè l.
For thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
16 Yo va bwè, kilbite e vin fou akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami yo.”
They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them."
17 Konsa, mwen te pran tas la nan men SENYÈ a, e mwen te fè tout nasyon sou sila SENYÈ a te voye mwen yo, bwè l:
Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:
18 Jérusalem ak vil Juda yo, wa pa li yo ak prens li yo, pou fè yo vin detwi nèt, yon gwo laperèz, yon objè k ap fè moun sifle anlè kon koulèv, yon madichon, jis jan sa ye jodi a;
Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its officials, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
19 Farawon, wa Égypte la, sèvitè li yo, prens li yo ak tout pèp li a;
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his officials, and all his people;
20 epi tout etranje yo, tout wa peyi Uts yo, tout wa peyi Filisten yo, menm Askalon, Gaza, Ékron, ak sila ki rete Asdod yo;
and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Édom, Moab ak fis Ammon yo;
Edom, and Moab, and the people of Ammon;
22 epi tout wa Tyr yo, tout wa Sidon yo ak wa peyi kot ki lòtbò lanmè yo;
and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
23 Dedan ak Théma, ak Buz e tout sila ki koupe kwen cheve yo;
Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
24 epi tout wa Arabie yo ak tout wa a pèp etranje ki rete nan dezè yo;
and all the kings of Arabia, [and all the kings of the mixed people] who dwell in the wilderness;
25 epi tout wa Zimri yo, tout wa a Élam yo ak tout wa a Médie yo;
and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
26 epi tout wa nò yo, ni pre, ni lwen, youn avèk lòt; epi tout wayòm latè ki sou sifas tè a. Wa Schéschac la va bwè apre yo.
and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
27 “Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, “Bwè, vin sou, vomi, tonbe e pa leve ankò akoz nepe ke Mwen va voye pami nou an.”’
"You shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you."'
28 Epi li va vin rive ke si yo refize pran tas la nan men ou pou bwè, alò ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Anverite, nou va bwè!
It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "You shall surely drink.
29 Paske gade byen, Mwen ap kòmanse fè yon zèv k ap yon kalamite nan vil sa a, ki rele pa non Mwen an. Èske nou dwe konplètman chape anba pinisyon? Nou p ap chape anba pinisyon, paske Mwen ap fè apèl nepe a kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo”, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo.”’
For, look, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,"' says the LORD of hosts.
30 “Akoz sa, ou va pwofetize kont yo ak tout pawòl sa yo. Ou va di yo: ‘SENYÈ a va gwonde fò depi anwo; vwa l va eksprime depi nan abitasyon sen li an. Li va gwonde ak pwisans kont bann mouton pa li an. Li va rele fò tankou sila k ap foule rezen yo, kont tout sila ki rete sou latè yo.
Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, 'The LORD will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Yon zen va rive soti nan dènye ekstremite latè, akoz SENYÈ a gen yon kont pou regle ak tout nasyon yo. Li va antre nan jijman ak tout chè yo. Pou mechan yo, li va livre yo a nepe,’” deklare SENYÈ a.
A noise shall come even to the remotest parts of the earth; for the LORD brings charges against the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,' says the LORD.
32 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Gade byen, mal la va sòti vin parèt de nasyon a nasyon, e yon gwo tanpèt va tòde jis rive nan pwent pi lwen de mond lan.
'Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Look, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.'
33 Sila ki touye pa SENYÈ yo nan jou sa a va soti nan yon pwent latè jis rive nan lòt la. Yo p ap kriye pou yo, vin ranmase yo, ni antere. Yo va tankou fimye bèt sou sifas latè.
The slain of the LORD shall be on that day from all areas of the earth. They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.
34 Kriye fò, nou menm k ap fè bèje yo; rele anmwey! Woule kò nou nan sann, nou menm ki mèt a bann mouton yo; paske jou a masak nou yo ak egzil la fin rive, e nou va tonbe kon veso pi chwazi a.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow in dust, you principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and you shall fall like a goodly vessel.
35 Sove ale pa p posib pou bèje yo. Mèt bann mouton yo p ap chape.
The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
36 Tande kri a bèje yo, ak plent a mèt bann mouton yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a ap detwi patiraj yo,
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock. For the LORD lays waste their pasture.
37 Epi pak mouton lapè yo tonbe an silans, akoz gwo kòlè SENYÈ a.”
The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38 Li soti nan kote kachèt Li yo kon lyon an, paske peyi yo te devni yon gwo laperèz akoz gwo vyolans nepe k ap oprime, e akoz gwo raj a kòlè Li.
He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment, because of the sword of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."
