Jeremi 26

1 Nan kòmansman règn a wa Jojakim nan, fis a Josias la, wa a Juda a, pawòl sa a te sòti nan SENYÈ a:

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from Yhwh, saying,

2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Kanpe nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a pou pale ak tout vil Juda a ki te vin adore lakay SENYÈ a'. Bay yo tout pawòl ke M te kòmande ou pou pale avèk yo. Pa manke menm yon mo!

Thus saith Yhwh; Stand in the court of Yhwh's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Yhwh's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:

3 Petèt yo va koute e tout moun va vire kite pwòp wout mechan pa yo, pou M ta kapab repanti de malè ke M planifye pou fè rive yo, akoz mechanste a zak yo.’”

If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.

4 Men sa ou va di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Si nou refize koute Mwen, pou mache nan lalwa ke M te mete devan nou an,

And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith Yhwh; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,

5 pou koute pawòl a sèvitè Mwen yo, pwofèt ke M te voye a nou menm tout tan, tout tan yo, —men nou pa t koute—

To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;

6 konsa, Mwen va fè kay sila kon Silo e vil sa a, Mwen va fè li vin yon madichon pou tout nasyon sou latè yo.’”

Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.

7 Prèt yo, pwofèt yo ak tout pèp la te tande Jérémie pale pawòl sa yo lakay SENYÈ a.

So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Yhwh.

8 Lè Jérémie te fin pale tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande pale a tout pèp la, prèt yo ak pwofèt yo ak tout pèp la te sezi li. Yo te di: “Fòk ou mouri!

Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Yhwh had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.

9 Poukisa ou te pwofetize nan non SENYÈ a e te di: ‘Kay sa a va tankou Silo e vil sa a va vin dezète, san moun?’” Konsa, tout pèp la te rasanble antoure Jérémie lakay SENYÈ a.

Why hast thou prophesied in the name of Yhwh, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Yhwh.

10 Lè ofisye a Juda yo te tande bagay sa yo, yo te vin monte soti lakay a wa a pou rive lakay SENYÈ a, e yo te chita nan antre Pòtay Nèf lakay SENYÈ a.

When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house unto the house of Yhwh, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of Yhwh's house.

11 Epi prèt yo ak pwofèt yo te pale ak ofisye yo ak tout pèp la e te di: “Nonm sa a merite mouri! Li te pwofetize kont vil sila a, jan nou te koute ak pwòp tande nou an.”

Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.

12 Konsa, Jérémie te pale ak tout ofisye yo ak tout pèp la. Li te di: “SENYÈ a te voye mwen pou pwofetize kont tout kay sila a, tout pawòl ke nou te tande yo.

Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, Yhwh sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.

13 Alò, pou sa, korije chemen nou yo ak zèv nou yo, e obeyi a vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an; epi SENYÈ a va chanje lide sou malè ke Li te pwononse kont nou an.

Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Yhwh your God; And Yhwh will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.

14 Men pou mwen menm, se nan men nou mwen ye. Fè sa nou pito avè m jan nou wè li bon nan zye nou an.

As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.

15 Sèlman, konnen byen ke si nou mete m a lanmò, nou va mennen san inosan vin tonbe sou nou menm, sou vil sa a, ak tout moun ki rete ladan; paske anverite, SENYÈ a te voye mwen kote nou pou pale tout pawòl sa yo nan zòrèy nou.”

But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth Yhwh hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.

16 Epi ofisye yo ak tout pèp la te di a prèt yo e a pwofèt yo: “Nou p ap pase lòd lanmò pou nonm sa a, paske li te pale nou nan non SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.”

Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of Yhwh our God.

17 Epi kèk nan ansyen peyi a te leve e te pale a tout asanble a pèp la. Yo te di:

Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,

18 “Michée, moun Moréscheth la, te pwofetize nan tan Ézéchias, wa Juda a. Li te pale a tout pèp Juda a e te di: ‘Konsa SENYÈ dèzame yo te pale: “Sion va raboure kon yon chan, Jérusalem va vin yon pil mazi e mòn kay la kon pwent ki piwo nan yon forè.”

Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.

19 “‘Èske Ézéchias, wa Juda a, ak tout Juda te mete l a lanmò? Èske li pa t gen lakrent SENYÈ a, chache favè SENYÈ a, e SENYÈ a te chanje lide Li sou malè ke li te pwononse kont yo a? Men nou ap komèt yon gwo mal kont pwòp tèt pa nou.’”

Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear Yhwh, and besought Yhwh, And Yhwh repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.

20 Anverite, te gen yon nonm ki te pwofetize nan non SENYÈ a, Urie, fis a Schemaeja a, a Kirjath-Jearim. Li te pwofetize kont vil sa a e kont peyi sa a, pawòl parèy a tout sa a Jérémie yo.

And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of Yhwh, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath–jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:

21 Lè wa Jojakim ak tout mesye pwisan pa li yo ak tout ofisye yo te tande pawòl li yo, alò, wa a te eseye mete l a lanmò. Men Urie te tande. Li te krent e li te sove ale rive an Égypte.

And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;

22 Konsa, wa Jojakim te voye mesye li yo an Égypte: Elnathan, fis a Acbor a e kèk lòt mesye avèk li te ale antre an Égypte.

And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.

23 Epi yo te mennen Urie soti an Égypte, te fè l rive kote wa Jojakim ki te touye l ak yon nepe e te jete kadav li nan simityè endijan yo.

And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.

24 Men, men Achikam la, fis a Schaphan nan, te avèk Jérémie, ki te fè l pa rive nan men a pèp la pou mete l a lanmò.

Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
