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, this word came from the LORD:
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!
“The LORD says: ‘Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Don’t omit 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.’”
It may be they will listen, and every man turn from his evil way, that I may relent from the evil which I intend to do to 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,
You shall tell them, “The LORD says: ‘If you will not listen 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 listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them—but you have not listened—
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 I will 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.
The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the LORD’s house.
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!
When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, “You shall 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 have you prophesied in the LORD’s name, saying, ‘This house will be like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’?” All the people were crowded around Jeremiah in the LORD’s house.
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, they came up from the king’s house to the LORD’s house; and they sat in the entry of the new gate of the LORD’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 the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, “This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you 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 Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying, “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you 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.
Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the LORD your God’s voice; then the LORD will relent from the evil that he has 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.
But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me what is good and right in your eyes.
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.”
Only know for certain that if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, on this city, and on its inhabitants; for in truth the LORD has sent me to 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 the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: “This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.”
17 Epi kèk nan ansyen peyi a te leve e te pale a tout asanble a pèp la. Yo te di:
Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke 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 Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, ‘The LORD of Hosts says: “‘Zion will be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem will 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 to death? Didn’t he fear the LORD, and entreat the favor of the LORD, and the LORD relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? We would commit great evil against our own souls that way!”
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.
There was also a man who prophesied in the LORD’s name, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he 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.
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 Uriah 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.
Then Jehoiakim the king sent 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.
They fetched Uriah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed 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.
But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
