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 Zedekiah son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh.
2 Konsa SENYÈ a pale ak mwen: “Fè pou kont ou lyen ak jouk e mete yo sou kou ou.
This is what Yahweh said to me, “Make fetters and a yoke for yourself. Place them on your 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.
Then send them out to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the people of Ammon, the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon. Send them by the hand of those kings' ambassadors who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah 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,
Give commands to them for their masters and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: This is what you must say to 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.
“I myself made the earth by my great strength and my raised arm. I also made the people and animals on the earth, and I give it to anyone who is right 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.
So now, I myself am giving all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, my servant. Also, I am giving the living things in the fields to 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.”’”
For all the nations will serve him, his son, and his grandson until the time for his land comes. Then many nations and great kings will subdue him.
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.
So the nation and the kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon—I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine, and with the plague—this is Yahweh's declaration—until I have destroyed it 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’.
So do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your seers, your soothsayers, and sorcerers, who have been speaking to you and saying, 'Do 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 they are prophesying deceit to you in order to send you far away from your lands, for I will drive you away, and you will die.
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 places its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, I will allow it to rest in its land—this is Yahweh's declaration—and they will cultivate it and make their homes in it.”'”
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!
So I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah and gave him this message, “Place your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him and his people, and you will 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 you die—you and your people—by the sword, famine, and plague, just as I have declared about the nation that refuses to 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.
Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you and say, 'Do not serve the king of Babylon,' for they are prophesying lies to 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 out—this is Yahweh's declaration—for they are prophesying deceit in my name so that I will drive you out and you will perish, both you and the prophets who are prophesying to 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.
I proclaimed this to the priests and all the people and said, “Yahweh says this: Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you and say, 'Look! The objects belonging to Yahweh's house are being returned from Babylon now!' They are prophesying lies to you.
17 Pa koute yo. Sèvi wa Babylone nan e viv! Poukisa vil sa a ta dwe detwi nèt?
Do not listen to them. You should serve the king of Babylon and live. Why 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.
If they are prophets, and if the word of Yahweh has truly come to them, let them beg Yahweh of hosts not to send to Babylon the objects that remain in his house, the house of the king of Judah, and Jerusalem.
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,
Yahweh of hosts says this about the pillars, the large basin known as “The Sea” and its base, and the rest of the objects that remain 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.
the objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he carried Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, into captivity 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,
Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this about the objects that remain in the house of Yahweh, the house of the king of Judah, and 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.’”
'They will be brought to Babylon, and they will remain there until the day I have set to come for them—this is Yahweh's declaration—then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.'”
