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 hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah — it [is] 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.
And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet hath been shut up in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king of Judah,
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;
Where Zedekiah king of Judah hath shut him up, saying, 'Wherefore art thou prophesying, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he hath captured 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 doth not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and his mouth hath spoken with his mouth, and his eyes see 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 [to] Babylon he leadeth Zedekiah, and there he is till My inspecting him, — an affirmation of Jehovah — because ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye do not prosper.'
6 Jérémie te reponn: “Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
And Jeremiah saith, 'A word of Jehovah hath been 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.’”
Lo, Hanameel son of Shallum, thine uncle, is coming unto thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that [is] in Anathoth, for thine [is] the right of redemption — to buy.
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.
And Hanameel, my uncle's son, cometh in unto me, according to the word of Jehovah, unto the court of the prison, and saith unto me, 'Buy, I pray thee, my field that [is] in Anathoth, that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for thine [is] the right of possession, and thine of redemption — buy for thee.' And I know that it [is] the word of Jehovah,
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 buy the field, that [is] in Anathoth, from Hanameel, my uncle's son, and I weigh to him the money — 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 write in a book, and seal, and cause witnesses to testify, and weigh the silver in 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.
And I take the purchase-book, the sealed one, according to law and custom, and the open one.
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 give the purchase-book unto Baruch son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle's son, and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the purchase-book, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting in the court of the prison.
13 “Epi mwen te kòmande Baruc nan prezans yo, e mwen te di:
And I charge Baruch before their eyes, 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 said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Take these books, this purchase-book, both the sealed one and the open one, and thou hast put them in an earthen vessel, that they may remain 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 said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Again are houses and fields and vineyards 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:
And I pray unto Jehovah — after my giving the purchase-book unto Baruch son of Neriah — 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 Jehovah, lo, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm; there is nothing too wonderful 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.
Doing kindness to thousands, and recompensing iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the great, the mighty, Jehovah 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 act, in that Thine eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each 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.
In that thou hast done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt unto this day, and in Israel, and among men, and Thou dost make for 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 Thou bringest forth Thy people Israel from the land of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear,
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 thou givest to them this land that thou didst swear to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with 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 come in, and possess it, and they have not hearkened to Thy voice, and in Thy law have not walked, all that which Thou didst lay a charge on them to do they have not done, and Thou dost proclaim [to] them all this evil.
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.
'Lo, the mounts — they have come in to the city to capture it, and the city hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which Thou hast spoken hath come to pass, and lo, Thou art seeing;
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.”
Yet Thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy for thee the field with money, and cause witnesses to testify — and the city hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!'
26 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive a Jérémie. Li te di:
And the word of Jehovah is unto Jeremiah, saying:
27 “Gade byen, Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye a tout chè yo. Èske gen bagay twò difisil pou Mwen?
'Lo, I [am] Jehovah, God of all flesh: For Me is anything too wonderful?
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 said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he hath captured 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 come in have the Chaldeans who are fighting against this city, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned it, and the houses on whose roofs they made perfume to Baal, and poured out libations to other gods, so as 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 sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been only doing evil in Mine eyes, from their youth; for the sons of Israel are only provoking Me with the work of their hands — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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 a cause of Mine anger, and a cause of My fury, hath this city been to Me, even from the day that they built it, and unto this day — to turn it aside 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 sons of Israel, and of the sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me — they, their kings, their heads, 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 turn unto Me the neck, and not the face, and teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not hearkening to accept instruction.
34 Men yo te mete bagay abominab pa yo nan kay ki rele pa non pa M nan, pou souye l.
'And they set their abominations in the house over which My name is called, so as 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 build the high places of Baal, that [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come up on my heart to do this abomination, so as 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 said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning this city, of which ye are saying, It hath been given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by famine, and by 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.
Lo, I am gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath, and I have brought them back unto this place, and have caused them to dwell confidently;
38 Yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo;
and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for 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 have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons 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 have made for them a covenant age-during, in that I turn not back from after them for My doing them good, and My fear I put in their heart, so as not to turn aside 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.”
and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with all My 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 said Jehovah: As I brought in unto this people all this great evil, so I am bringing in on them all the good that I am speaking concerning 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 bought hath been the field in this land of which ye are saying, A desolation it [is], without man and beast, it hath been 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.
Fields with money they buy, so as to write in a book, and to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of Benjamin, and in suburbs of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah, and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low country, and in cities of the south, for I turn back their captivity — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
