Jeremi 30
1 Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, ki te di:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Ekri tout pawòl ke M te bay ou yo nan yon liv.
“The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
3 Paske gade byen, jou yo ap vini,’ deklare SENYÈ a: ‘lè Mwen va restore fòtin pèp Mwen an, Israël ak Juda,’ Senyè a di. ‘Anplis, Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke m te bay a papa zansèt yo, e yo va posede li.’”
For, behold, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
4 Alò, sila yo se pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale konsènan Israël e konsènan Juda:
These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mwen te tande son a yon gwo laperèz, a yon gwo krent; pa gen lapè.
For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of peace.
6 Mande koulye a pou wè si yon gason kapab fè pitit. Poukisa Mwen wè tout gason ak men li sou ti vant yo, konsi se fanm k ap fè pitit? Epi poukisa tout figi yo vin pal konsa?
Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned pale?
7 Elas, paske jou sa a gran, pa gen ki parèy a li. Li se lè a gwo doulè Jacob la; men li va sove de li.
Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he will be saved out of it.
8 “Li va vin rive nan jou sa a, deklare SENYÈ dèzame yo: ke Mwen va kase jouk li a soti sou kou nou. Mwen va chire kòd yo, e etranje yo p ap fè yo esklav ankò.
It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
9 Men yo va sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a e David, wa yo a, ke Mwen va fè leve wo pou yo.
but they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
10 Pa pè anyen, O Jacob, sèvitè Mwen an,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi pa pèdi kouraj, O Israël; paske gade byen, Mwen va sove ou soti lwen e posterite ou soti nan peyi kaptivite yo. Jacob va retounen, Li va kalm, alèz, e nanpwen moun k ap fè l fè pè.
Therefore do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD. Do not be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
11 Paske Mwen avèk ou, deklare SENYÈ a, pou sove ou; paske Mwen va detwi nèt tout nasyon kote Mwen te gaye ou yo, sèlman ou menm ke M p ap detwi nèt. Men m ap fè ou korije fil a mezi; Mwen p ap kite ou san pinisyon.”
For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
12 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Blesi ou yo pa kab geri, e kondisyon ou byen grav.
For the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
13 Nanpwen moun ki pou plede koz ou; pa gen gerizon pou maleng nan, ni ou p ap ka refè.
There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
14 Tout moun ki renmen ou yo fin bliye ou, yo pa chache ou; paske Mwen te blese ou ak blesi a yon lènmi, ak pinisyon a yon moun ki mechan, akoz inikite ou gran e peche ou anpil.
All your lovers have forgotten you. They do not seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
15 Poukisa w ap kriye akoz blesi ou yo? Doulè ou a pa gen gerizon. Akoz inikite ou yo gran e peche ou yo anpil, Mwen te fè ou sa a.
Why do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
16 Akoz sa, tout sila ki devore ou yo va vin devore; epi tout advèsè ou yo, yo chak, yo va antre an kaptivite. Sila ki piyaje ou yo va tounen piyaj yo menm, e tout sila yo ki fè nou vin viktim yo, va vin viktim yo menm.
Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become prey.
17 Paske M ap fè ou reprann lasante, e Mwen va geri ou de tout blesi ou yo,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Akoz yo te rele ou yon rejte e yo te di: ‘Se Sion; nanpwen moun ki bezwen anyen ladan.’”
For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
18 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen va restore fòtin a tant a Jacob yo, e gen konpasyon pou lakay li yo; vil la va rebati sou ranblè li yo e palè a va kanpe nan pwòp plas li.
The LORD says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
19 Nan yo menm, va sòti remèsiman ak vwa a sila k ap fè fèt yo. Mwen va miltipliye yo e yo p ap diminye; anplis, Mwen va bay yo glwa, e yo p ap meprize;
Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
20 Pitit pa yo tou va tankou oparavan, e kongregasyon yo va etabli devan M. Mwen va pini tout sila k ap oprime yo.
Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress them.
21 Chèf pa yo va youn nan yo, e sila ki gouvène yo va sòti nan mitan yo. Mwen va mennen li toupre, e li va vin toupre Mwen; paske se kilès ki ta gen kouraj pou pwoche M?” deklare SENYÈ a.
Their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from among them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says the LORD.
22 “Nou va vin pèp Mwen e Mwen va vin Bondye pa nou.”
“You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Gade byen, tanpèt SENYÈ a, kòlè Li fin depanse nèt, yon tanpèt k ap ravaje; li va eklate sou tèt a mechan yo.
Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
24 Kòlè fewòs SENYÈ a p ap detounen jiskaske li fin fè, jiskaske li fin acheve entansyon a kè Li. Nan dènye jou yo, ou va konprann sa.”
The fierce anger of the LORD will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
