Jeremi 27
1 Nan kòmansman règn wa Sédécias, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, pawòl sa a te rive kote Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, epi te di,
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 Konsa SENYÈ a pale ak mwen: “Fè pou kont ou lyen ak jouk e mete yo sou kou ou.
Thus said the Lord to me, Make for thyself bands and yoke-bars, and put them around thy neck,
3 Epi voye pawòl kote wa Edom an, wa Moab la, wa a fis Ammon yo, wa Tyre la e wa a Sidon an pa mesaje ki vini Jérusalem kote Sédécias, wa Juda a.
And send such to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of 'Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by means of the messengers who come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah the king of Judah;
4 Kòmande yo ale kote mèt pa yo e di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, konsa nou va di a mèt nou yo,
And thou shalt charge them unto their masters, saying, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your masters,
5 “Mwen te fè latè, lèzòm ak bèt ki sou sifas latè yo pa gran pouvwa Mwen ak men M lonje, e Mwen va bay li a sila ki fè M plezi nan zye mwen.
It is I who have made the earth, the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and I have given it unto the one who seemeth proper in my eyes.
6 Koulye a, Mwen te bay tout peyi sila yo nan men a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone, sèvitè Mwen an e Mwen te bay li, anplis, bèt sovaj chan yo pou sèvi li.
And now it is I who have given all these countries into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and also the beasts of the field have I given him to serve him.
7 Tout nasyon yo va sèvi li e fis li ak gran fis li jis rive nan lè pwòp peyi li vini. Nan moman sa a, anpil nasyon ak anpil wa va fè li vin sèvitè yo.”’”
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his land is also come in its turn: when many nations and great kings shall make it serve.
8 “Li va rive ke nasyon oswa wayòm ki refize sèvi Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, e ki pa mete kou li anba jouk a wa Babylone nan, Mwen va pini nasyon sa a ak nepe a, ak gwo grangou e ak envazyon ensèk k ap ravaje tout chan yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “jiskaske Mwen fin detwi nasyon sa a pa men li.
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck in the yoke of the king of Babylon, —even that nation will I punish with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, saith the Lord, until I have made an end of them by his hand.
9 “Men pou nou menm, pa koute pwofèt nou yo, divinò nou yo, moun ki fè rèv yo, moun k ap devine yo, ni sila ki fè wanga yo, k ap di: ‘Nou p ap sèvi wa Babylone nan’.
But do ye not hearken to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your enchanters, and to your sorcerers, who speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;
10 Paske pwofesi pa yo se manti y ap bannou pou yo deplase nou ale lwen peyi nou, pou fè M ta pouse bourade nou deyò e nou va peri.
For falsehood do they prophesy unto you, in order to remove you far from your land; and that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish.
11 Men nasyon a ki bese kou li anba jouk wa Babylone nan e ki sèvi li, Mwen va kite nan peyi li,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Konsa, yo va travay tè a pou viv ladann.”
But the nation that will bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, —that one will I then let remain quietly in its own land, saith the Lord: and it shall till it, and dwell therein.
12 Mwen te pale pawòl tankou sila yo a Sédécias, wa Juda a. Mwen te di l: “Mennen kou nou anba jouk a wa Babylone nan pou sèvi li ak pèp li a, e viv!
And unto Zedekiah the king of Judah did I speak in accordance with all these words, saying, Bring your neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, that ye may live.
13 Poukisa nou va mouri, nou menm avèk pèp nou an, pa nepe, gwo grangou, ak ravaj bèt ki manje tout chan yo, kon SENYÈ a te pale a nasyon sa a ki refize sèvi wa Babylone nan?
Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Konsa, pa koute pawòl a pwofèt k ap pale ak nou, k ap di: ‘Nou p ap oblije sèvi wa Babylone nan,’ paske y ap fè pwofesi manti a nou menm.
And do ye not hearken unto the words of the prophets that say unto you, as followeth, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
15 Paske Mwen pa t voye yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Yo fè fo pwofesi nan non Mwen, pou m ka pouse bourade nou deyò pou nou ka peri, nou menm ak pwofèt ki fè pwofesi sa yo bannou yo.”
For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy in my name falsely: in order that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
16 Apre, mwen te pale ak prèt yo e a tout pèp sa a. Mwen te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: Pa koute pawòl a pwofèt nou yo ki fè pwofesi bannou ki di: ‘Gade byen, veso lakay SENYÈ yo va retounen rapid soti Babylone;’ paske yo fè pwofesi manti bannou.
And unto the priests and unto all this people did I speak, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Do not hearken to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of the Lord shall be brought again from Babylon now speedily; for a falsehood do they prophesy unto you.
17 Pa koute yo. Sèvi wa Babylone nan e viv! Poukisa vil sa a ta dwe detwi nèt?
Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, that ye may live: wherefore should this city become a ruin?
18 Men si se pwofèt yo ye, e si pawòl SENYÈ a avèk yo, kite yo koulye a fè demann a SENYÈ dèzame yo, pou veso ki rete lakay SENYÈ yo, lakay wa Juda a ak Jérusalem yo pa ale Babylone.
And if they be prophets, and if the word of the Lord be with them, let them now make intercession with the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, may not be carried to Babylon.
19 Paske se konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo konsènan pilye yo, konsènan lanmè a, konsènan baz yo e konsènan tout lòt veso ki rete nan vil sa a,
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts of the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,
20 ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, pa t pran lè l te pote Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan, wa Juda a, te fè sòti Jérusalem pou rive Babylone, ak tout gwo moun Juda ak Jérusalem yo.
Which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon did not take away, when he carried away into exile Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
21 Wi, se konsa SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, te pale konsènan veso ki rete lakay SENYÈ yo, lakay wa Juda a ak Jérusalem yo,
[Yea] for thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem,
22 ‘Yo va pote rive Babylone e yo va la jis rive jou ke m vizite yo a,’ deklare SENYÈ a. ‘Apre, Mwen va mennen yo retounen e restore yo nan plas sa a.’”
Unto Babylon shall they be carried, and there shall they remain until the day that I think of them, saith the Lord, when I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.
