Jeremi 28

1 Alò, nan menm ane a, nan kòmansman règn a Sédécias, wa Juda a, nan katriyèm ane, nan senkyèm mwa Hanania, fis a Azzur a, pwofèt ki te sòti nan Gabaon an, te pale ak mwen lakay SENYÈ a, nan prezans a prèt yo e a tout pèp yo. Li te di:

This is what happened in the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, in the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year. The prophet Hananiah, son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, told me in the Lord's Temple in front of the priests and all the people:

2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, ‘Mwen te kase jouk wa Babylone nan.

“This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Pandan dezan Mwen va fè rive nan plas sa a, tout veso lakay SENYÈ yo, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pran fè sòti nan plas sa a pou te pote Babylone yo.

Before two years have passed I'm going to bring back to Jerusalem all the Temple objects that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed and took to Babylon.

4 Anplis, Mwen va mennen fè retounen nan plas sa a, Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan, wa a Juda a ak tout egzile Juda ki te ale Babylone yo,’ deklare SENYÈ a, ‘paske Mwen va kase fado a wa a Babylone nan.’”

I will also bring back to Jerusalem Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with all the exiles from Judah who were taken to Babylon, declares the Lord, because I'm going to break the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

5 Answit pwofèt Jérémie te pale ak pwofèt Hanania nan prezans a prèt yo, e nan prezans lan a tout moun ki te kanpe lakay SENYÈ yo,

Then the prophet Jeremiah responded to the prophet Hananiah in front of the priests and all the people who were standing in the Lord's Temple.

6 epi pwofèt Jérémie te di: “Amen! Ke SENYÈ a fè l konsa. Ke SENYÈ a kapab konfime pawòl ke ou te pale yo, pou fè mennen retounen veso lakay SENYÈ yo, e tout moun ki ekzile yo, sòti Babylone pou antre nan plas sa a.

“Amen!” said Jeremiah. “I wish the Lord would do just that! I wish the Lord would fulfill your prophetic words and bring back Temple objects and all the exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon.

7 Malgre sa, tande pawòl sa a ke m prèt pou pale nan tande pa w ak tande a tout pèp la!

But even so, pay attention to this message I'm going to tell you and everyone here.

8 Pwofèt ki te avan mwen yo, e avan ou depi nan tan ansyen an, te pwofetize kont anpil peyi e kont gwo wayòm, pou lagè, pou kalamite ak envazyon ensèk ki ta ravaje peyi yo.

The prophets of long ago who came before you and me prophesied war, disaster, and disease against many countries and great kingdoms.

9 Pwofèt ki te pwofetize lapè a, lè pwofesi sa a vin rive; alò, pwofèt sa a va vin rekonèt kon yon pwofèt ke SENYÈ te vrèman voye.”

When it comes to a prophet who prophesies peace, see if their prophecies come true. Only that will prove they are really sent by the Lord.”

10 Alò Hanania, pwofèt la, te retire jouk la sou kou Jérémie e te kraze li.

Then the prophet Hananiah removed the yoke from the prophet Jeremiah's neck and broke it.

11 Hanania te pale nan prezans a tout pèp la e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Menm konsa, avan dezan, Mwen va kase jouk Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, fè l sòti sou kou a tout nasyon yo.’” Alò, pwofèt Jérémie te al fè wout li.

Hananiah announced in front of everyone, “This is what the Lord says: Just like this, before two years have passed I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations.” Jeremiah the prophet left.

12 Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie lè Hanania te fin kase jouk a sou kou pwofèt Jérémie an. Li te di:

However, right after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from his neck, a message of the Lord came to Jeremiah:

13 “Ale pale ak Hanania e di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “Ou te kase jouk ki fèt an bwa yo, men ou fè rive olye de yo, jouk yo ki fèt an fè.”

“Go and tell Hananiah that this is what the Lord says: You may have broken a wooden yoke of wood, but you have replaced it with an iron yoke.

14 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Mwen te mete yon jouk fèt an fè sou kou a tout nasyon sila yo, pou yo ka sèvi Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan; epi yo va sèvi li. Anplis, Mwen te bay li bèt chan yo.”’”

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I have tied iron yokes on the necks of all these nations to force them to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”

15 Epi Jérémie, pwofèt la, te di a Hanania, pwofèt la: “Koute koulye a, Hanania, SENYÈ a pa t voye ou e ou te fè pèp sa a kwè nan yon manti.

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, “Listen to this, Hananiah! The Lord didn't send you, but you have convinced these people to believe in a lie.

16 Pou sa, se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou retire ou sou sifas tè a. Ane sa a, ou va mouri, akoz ou te konseye rebelyon kont SENYÈ a.’”

So this is what the Lord says: I'm going to get rid of you from the earth. You will die this year because you have promoted rebellion against the Lord.”

17 Se konsa Hanania, pwofèt la, te mouri nan menm ane sa a nan setyèm mwa a.

The prophet Hananiah died in the seventh month of that very year.
