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:

It happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year and the fifth month, Hananiah son of Azzur the prophet, who was from Gibeon, spoke to me in Yahweh's house in front of the priests and all the people. He said,

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

“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have broken the yoke imposed by 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.

Within two years I will bring back to this place all the objects belonging to Yahweh's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took from this place and transported 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.’”

Then I will bring back to this place Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the captives of Judah who were sent to Babylon—this is Yahweh's declaration—for I will 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,

So Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet in front of the priests and to all the people who stood in Yahweh's house.

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.

Jeremiah the prophet said, “May Yahweh do this! May Yahweh confirm the words that you prophesied and bring back to this place the objects belonging to Yahweh's house, and all the captives from Babylon.

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

However, listen to the word that I am proclaiming in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people.

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 who existed before me and you from long ago also prophesied about many nations and against great kingdoms, about war, famine, and plague.

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.”

So the prophet who prophesies that there will be peace—if his word comes true, then it will be known that he is indeed a prophet sent out by Yahweh.”

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

But Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet 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.

Then Hananiah spoke in front of all the people and said, “Yahweh says this: Just like this, within two years I will break from off the neck of every nation the yoke imposed by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.” Then Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.

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

After Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

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 speak to Hananiah and say, 'Yahweh says this: You broke a yoke of wood, but I will make instead a yoke of iron.'

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.”’”

For Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all of these nations to serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have also given him the wild beasts in the fields to rule over.”

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.

Next Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet, “Listen Hananiah! Yahweh has not sent you, but you yourself have caused this people to believe in lies.

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 Yahweh says this: Look, I am about to send you out from the earth. You will die this year, since you proclaimed rebellion against Yahweh.”

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

In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.
