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.

Thus speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee 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, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

4 Alò, sila yo se pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale konsènan Israël e konsènan Juda:

And these are the words that the LORD spake 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 thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, 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 ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child: wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into 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.

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall 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.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands; and strangers shall no more serve themselves of 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.

but they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto 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 fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and none shall 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 thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee with judgment, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.

12 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Blesi ou yo pa kab geri, e kondisyon ou byen grav.

For thus saith the LORD, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous.

13 Nanpwen moun ki pou plede koz ou; pa gen gerizon pou maleng nan, ni ou p ap ka refè.

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast 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 thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy 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 criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

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 they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a 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 unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast, [saying], It is Zion, whom no man seeketh 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.

Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

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 out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall 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 shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that 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.

And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is he that hath had boldness to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

22 “Nou va vin pèp Mwen e Mwen va vin Bondye pa nou.”

And ye 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 tempest of the LORD, [even his] fury, is gone forth, a sweeping tempest: it shall burst upon 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 shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it.
