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:

That same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet, who was of Gibeon, spoke to me in the LORD’s house, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,

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

“The LORD of Hosts, 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.

Within two full years I will bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried 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 bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, who went to Babylon,’ says the LORD; ‘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,

Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people who stood in the LORD’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.

even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so. May the LORD perform your words which you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD’s house, and all those who are captives, from Babylon to this place.

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

Nevertheless listen now to this word that I speak in your ears, and in the ears 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 have been before me and before you of old prophesied against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, of evil, and of pestilence.

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.”

As for the prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet happens, then the prophet will be known, that the LORD has truly sent him.”

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

Then Hananiah the prophet took the bar from off 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 spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “The LORD says: ‘Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from off the neck of all the nations within two full years.’” Then the prophet Jeremiah went 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:

Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, after Hananiah the prophet had broken the bar from off the neck of the prophet 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 tell Hananiah, saying, ‘The LORD says, “You have broken the bars of wood, but you have made in their place bars 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 the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel says, “I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they will serve him. I have also given him the animals of the field.”’”

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 Hananiah the prophet, “Listen, Hananiah! The LORD has not sent you, but you make this people trust 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.’”

Therefore the LORD says, ‘Behold, I will send you away from off the surface of the earth. This year you will die, because you have spoken rebellion against the LORD.’”

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

So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
