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 Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 Konsa SENYÈ a pale ak mwen: “Fè pou kont ou lyen ak jouk e mete yo sou kou ou.
'Thus said Jehovah unto me, Make to thee bands and yokes,
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 thou hast put them on thy neck, and hast sent them unto the king of Edom, and unto the king of Moab, and unto the king of the sons of Ammon, and unto the king of Tyre, and unto the king of Zidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming in to Jerusalem, unto 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,
And thou hast commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel,
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.
Thus do ye say unto your lords, I — I have made the earth with man, and the cattle that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My stretched-out arm, and I have given it to whom it hath been right in Mine 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, I — I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and also the beast of the field I have given 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.”’”
And served him have all the nations, and his son, and his son's son, till the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and done service for him have many nations and great kings.
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 hath come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that do not serve him — Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon — and that which putteth not its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation — an affirmation of Jehovah — till I consume 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’.
'And ye, ye do not hearken unto your prophets, and unto your diviners, and unto your dreamers, and unto your observers of clouds, and unto your sorcerers who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye 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 falsehood they are prophesying to you, so as to remove you far from off your ground, and I have driven you out, and ye have perished.
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.”
And the nation that causeth its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and hath served him — I have left it on its ground — an affirmation of Jehovah — and it hath tilled it, and dwelt 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!
And unto Zedekiah king of Judah I have spoken according to all these words, saying, 'Cause your necks to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and 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 do ye die, thou and thy people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation that doth 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 ye do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, — for falsehood they are prophesying 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 — an affirmation of Jehovah — and they are prophesying in My name falsely, so as to drive you out, and ye have perished, ye, 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.
And unto the priests, and unto all this people, I have spoken, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not hearken unto the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Lo, the vessels of the house of Jehovah are brought back from Babylon now in haste, for falsehood they are prophesying to you.
17 Pa koute yo. Sèvi wa Babylone nan e viv! Poukisa vil sa a ta dwe detwi nèt?
Ye do not hearken unto them, serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why is this city a waste?
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 a word of Jehovah be with them, let them intercede, I pray you, with Jehovah of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of Jehovah, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into 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 said Jehovah of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest 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.
That Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with all the freemen 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,
Surely thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of Jehovah, and of 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.’”
To Babylon they are brought, and there they are till the day of My inspecting them — an affirmation of Jehovah; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back unto this place.'
