Jeremi 30
1 Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, ki te di:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Ekri tout pawòl ke M te bay ou yo nan yon liv.
“Thus spoke YHWH, God of Israel, saying, Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you on a scroll.
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, days are coming—a declaration of YHWH—and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said YHWH, and I have caused them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they possess it.”
4 Alò, sila yo se pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale konsènan Israël e konsènan Juda:
And these [are] the words that YHWH has spoken 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.
Surely thus said YHWH: “We have heard a voice of trembling, Fear—and there is no 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?
Now ask and see, is a male bringing forth? Why have I seen every man [With] his hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
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.
Woe! For that day [is] great, without any like it, Indeed, it [is] the time of Jacob’s tribulation, Yet he is 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.
And it has come to pass in that day, A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, I break his yoke from off your neck, And I draw away your bands, And strangers lay no more service on him.
9 Men yo va sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a e David, wa yo a, ke Mwen va fè leve wo pou yo.
And they have served their God YHWH, And David their king whom I 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.
And you, do not be afraid, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, Nor be frightened, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.
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,” A declaration of YHWH, “To save you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have scattered you, Only, I do not make an end of you, And I have disciplined you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you.”
12 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Blesi ou yo pa kab geri, e kondisyon ou byen grav.
For thus said YHWH: “Your breach is incurable, your stroke grievous,
13 Nanpwen moun ki pou plede koz ou; pa gen gerizon pou maleng nan, ni ou p ap ka refè.
There is none judging your cause to bind up, There are no healing medicines for you.
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 loving you have forgotten you, They do not seek you, For I struck you with the stroke of an enemy, The discipline of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, your sins have been mighty!
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 concerning your breach? Your pain [is] incurable, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, Your sins have been mighty! I have done these 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 consuming you are consumed, And all your adversaries—all of them—Go into captivity, And your spoilers have been for a spoil, And I give up all your plunderers to plunder.
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 increase health to you, And I heal you from your strokes,” A declaration of YHWH, “For they have called you an outcast, [saying], It [is] Zion, There is none seeking for her.”
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.
Thus said YHWH: “Behold, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And I pity his dwelling places, And the city has been built on its heap, And the palace remains according to its ordinance.
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;
And thanksgiving has gone forth from them, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honorable, and they are not 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.
And his sons have been as before, And his congregation is established before Me, And I have seen after all his oppressors.
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.
And his majestic one has been of himself, And his ruler goes forth from his midst, And I have caused him to draw near, And he has drawn near to Me, For who [is] he who has pledged his heart To draw near to Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
22 “Nou va vin pèp Mwen e Mwen va vin Bondye pa nou.”
“And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for 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, a whirlwind of YHWH—Fury has gone forth—a cutting whirlwind, It stays 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 fierceness of the anger of YHWH Does not turn back until He has done [it], Indeed, until His establishing the purposes of His heart. In the latter end of the days you consider it!
