Jeremi 32

1 Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, nan dizyèm ane Sédécias, wa Juda a, ki te nan dizuityèm ane a Nebucadnetsar.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

2 Alò, nan lè sa a, lame a wa Babylone nan t ap fè syèj sou Jérusalem, e Jérémie, pwofèt la, te fèmen nan lakou gad ki te lakay wa a Juda a.

Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.

3 Akoz Sédécias, wa Juda a te mete li nan prizon e te di: “Poukisa ou pwofetize konsa pou di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou bay vil sa a nan men a Wa Babylone nan e li va pran l;

For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;

4 epi Sédécias, wa Juda a p ap chape nan men a Kaldeyen yo, men anverite, li va livre bay nan lamen wa Babylone nan. Li va pale ak li fasafas e va wè li zye nan zye.

and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;

5 Epi konsa, li va pran Sédécias fè l rive Babylone e li va la jiskaske Mwen vizite li,” deklare SENYÈ a. “Malgre nou goumen kont Kaldeyen yo, nou p ap reyisi.”’”

and he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?

6 Jérémie te reponn: “Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:

And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

7 Gade byen, Hanameel, fis a Schallum nan, tonton ou, ap vin kote ou, e li va di: ‘Achte pou ou menm chan mwen ki nan Anathoth, paske se ou menm ki gen dwa redanmsyon pou achte l.’”

Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.

8 “Konsa, Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan, te vin kote mwen nan lakou gad la selon pawòl SENYÈ a. Li te di mwen: ‘Achte chan mwen an, souple, ki Anathoth, nan peyi Benjamin an; paske ou gen dwa posede l e redanmsyon an se pou ou. Achte l pou ou menm.’ “Epi mwen te konnen ke sa se te pawòl SENYÈ a.

So Hanamel mine uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

9 Mwen te achte chan ki te Anathoth la nan men Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan e mwen te peze ajan bay pou li, disèt sik ajan.

And I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel mine uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.

10 Mwen te siyen e mete so sou papye tè a, te rele temwen, e te peze ajan sou balans pou bay.

And I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.

11 Alò, mwen te pran papye vant lan, ansanm ak kopi ki te fèmen anba so a, tout tèm ak kondisyon vant yo, ak kopi a ouvri.

So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, [according to] the law and custom, and that which was open:

12 Epi mwen te bay papye vant lan bay Baruc, fis a Nérija a, fis a Macheséja a, devan zye a Hanameel, fis a tonton m nan, e devan zye a temwen ki te siyen papye vant lan, devan tout Jwif ki te chita nan lakou gad yo.

and I delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel mine uncle’s [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the guard.

13 “Epi mwen te kòmande Baruc nan prezans yo, e mwen te di:

And I charged Baruch before them, saying,

14 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël a: ‘Pran papye tè sila yo, zak vant sa a ki fèmen ak so, ansanm ak zak vant sa a ki ouvri, e mete yo nan yon veso fèt ak ajil, pou yo ka dire pou anpil tan.’

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase, both that which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel; that they may continue many days.

15 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Kay yo, jaden yo ak chan rezen yo ap vin achte ankò nan peyi sa a.’

For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought in this land.

16 “Lè mwen te fin bay papye tè a a Baruc, fis a Nérija a; alò, mwen te priye a SENYÈ a, e te di:

Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,

17 ‘A, SENYÈ Bondye! Gade byen, Ou te fè syèl yo ak tè a ak gran pouvwa Ou, e ak men Ou lonje! Nanpwen anyen ki twò difisil pou Ou,

Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and by thy stretched out arm; there is nothing too hard for thee:

18 Ou menm ki montre lanmou dous a dè milye, men rekonpanse inikite a papa yo nan sen a jenerasyon k ap swiv yo. Gran e pwisan Bondye, SENYÈ dèzame yo se non Li.

which shewest mercy unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the great, the mighty God, the LORD of hosts is his name:

19 Gran an konsèy e pwisan an zèv, ki gen zye ki ouvri nan tout chemen a fis a lòm yo, ki rekonpanse tout moun selon chemen li, e selon fwi lan a zèv li;

great in counsel, and mighty in work: whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men; to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:

20 ki te opere sign ak mèvèy nan peyi Égypte la, jis rive nan jou sa a, an Israël e pami tout imanite; epi Ou te fè yon non pou Ou menm, jan sa ye jodi a.

which didst set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, both in Israel and among [other] men; and madest thee a name, as at this day;

21 Ou te mennen pèp Ou a, Israël sòti nan peyi Égypte ak sign ak mèvèy, avèk yon men pwisan, yon bra lonje e avèk gwo laperèz.

and didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;

22 Epi Ou te bay yo peyi sa a, ke Ou te sèmante a papa zansèt yo pou bay yo, yon peyi k ap koule ak lèt ak siwo myèl.

and gavest them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing milk and honey;

23 Yo te antre e te pran posesyon li, men yo pa t obeyi a vwa Ou, ni mache nan lalwa Ou. Yo pa t fè anyen nan tout sa Ou te kòmande yo fè yo. Pou sa, Ou fè tout malè sa a rive sou yo.

and they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:

24 “Gade byen, men balkon tè syèj yo fin rive kote vil la pou pran l. Epi vil la fin bay nan men a Kaldeyen ki goumen kont li yo, akoz nepe, ak gwo grangou, avèk ensèk ak maladi ki devaste. Konsa, sa Ou te pale a fin rive. Gade byen, Ou wè l.

Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.

25 Ou te di mwen, O Senyè BONDYE, ‘Achte pou ou menm chan an ak lajan; rele temwen yo’ —malgre vil la fin bay nan men a Kaldeyen yo.”

And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and call witnesses; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

26 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive a Jérémie. Li te di:

Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

27 “Gade byen, Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye a tout chè yo. Èske gen bagay twò difisil pou Mwen?

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

28 Pou sa, pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou bay vil sa a nan men a Kaldeyen yo, e nan men a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, e li va pran l.

Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:

29 Kaldeyen k ap goumen kont vil sa yo va antre mete dife nan tout vil sa a, e brile li, ak kay kote te gen ofrann lansan a Baal sou twati yo, e yo te vide ofrann bwason yo a lòt dye pou fè M fache.’”

and the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.

30 “Anverite, fis Israël yo ak fis Juda yo t ap fè sèlman sa ki mal devan zye M soti nan jenès yo; paske fis a Israël yo te pwovoke M sèlman a lakòlè ak zèv men yo”, deklare SENYÈ a.

For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done that which was evil in my sight from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.

31 “Anverite, vil sa a te atire kòlè M ak raj Mwen an soti nan jou ke yo te bati li a, menm rive nan jou sa a, pou sa ta dwe retire devan figi Mwen,

For this city hath been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face:

32 akoz tout mechanste ke fis Israël yo ak fis Juda yo te fè, pou yo ta pwovoke Mwen a lakòlè—yo menm, wa yo, chèf yo, prèt yo, pwofèt yo, mesye a Juda yo, ak tout moun ki rete Jérusalem yo.

because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

33 Yo te vire do ban Mwen olye figi yo. Malgre enstriksyon ke Mwen te bay yo ankò e ankò, men yo pa t ap koute M pou resevwa lenstriksyon an.

And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.

34 Men yo te mete bagay abominab pa yo nan kay ki rele pa non pa M nan, pou souye l.

But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.

35 Yo te bati wo plas a Baal ki nan vale Ben-Hinnom nan, pou fè fis yo pase nan dife a Moloc, bagay ke M pa t kòmande yo, ni sa pa t antre nan panse M ke yo ta dwe fè bagay abominab sa a, pou fè Juda peche.”

And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination; to cause Judah to sin.

36 Alò, pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, konsènan vil sa a ke ou te di: “Li te livre nan men a wa a Babylone nan pa nepe, pa gwo grangou, e pa gwo epidemi.”

And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

37 “Gade byen, Mwen va ranmase yo soti nan tout peyi kote Mwen te pouse bourade yo, ale nan kòlè ak raj Mwen an, ak gran endiyasyon Mwen an; epi Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan plas sa a. Epi la, Mwen va fè yo rete anpè.

Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:

38 Yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo;

and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:

39 Epi Mwen va bay yo yon sèl kè ak yon sèl chemen pou yo ka toujou gen lakrent Mwen pou pwòp byen pa yo e pou byen a pitit apre yo.

and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me for ever; for the good of them, and of their children after them:

40 Mwen va fè yon akò k ap pou tout tan nèt avèk yo, ke Mwen p ap vire kite yo, pou fè yo byen. Konsa Mwen va mete lakrent Mwen anndan kè yo pou yo pa vire kite Mwen.

and I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

41 Mwen va rejwi de yo pou fè byen pou yo. E Mwen va, ak fidelite, plante yo nan peyi sa a, ak tout kè Mwen e ak tout nanm Mwen.”

Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.

42 Paske SENYÈ a di, “Menm jan ke M te mennen tout gwo dezas sa a sou pèp sa a, konsa Mwen va mennen sou yo tout bonte ke Mwen ap pwomèt yo.

For thus saith the LORD: Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

43 Chan yo va vin achte nan peyi sa a kote ou te di: ‘Sa se yon dezolasyon, san moun ni bèt. Li livre nan men a Kaldeyen yo.’

And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate, without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans;

44 Mesye yo va achte chan yo pou lajan, siyen, mete so sou papye tè yo, e rele temwen nan peyi Benjamin an, nan andwa a Jérusalem yo, nan vil a Juda yo, nan vil a peyi kolin yo, nan vil nan ba plèn yo, ak nan vil dezè yo; paske Mwen va ranvèse kaptivite yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.

Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
