Jeremi 33
1 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie yon dezyèm fwa, pandan li te toujou nan prizon nan lakou gad la. Li te di:
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ a ki te fè tè a, SENYÈ a ki te fòme li pou etabli li a—SENYÈ a se non Li.
These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;
3 ‘Rele Mwen, Mwen va reponn ou e Mwen va di ou gwo bagay pwisan ke ou pa t janm konnen.’
Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge.
4 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ Israël la konsènan kay nan vil sa yo, e konsènan kay a wa a Juda k ap vin kraze pou fè yon ranpa kont balkon tè syèj yo e kont nepe a,
For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said about the houses of this town and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been broken down to make earthworks and ...;
5 ‘pandan y ap vini pou goumen kont Kaldeyen yo e pou plen yo ak kadav moun ke M te masakre nan kòlè Mwen ak gwo kòlè Mwen yo, epi Mwen te kache figi M kont vil sa a, akoz tout mechanste yo,
... and to make them full of the dead bodies of men whom I have put to death in my wrath and in my passion, and because of whose evil-doing I have kept my face covered from this town.
6 ‘gade byen, Mwen va mennen kote li lasante ak gerizon, e Mwen va geri yo. Epi Mwen va montre yo lapè ak verite an abondans.
See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.
7 Mwen va restore bonè a Juda ak bonè a Israël, e Mwen va rebati yo jan yo te ye o kòmansman an.
And I will let the fate of Judah and of Israel be changed, building them up as at first.
8 Mwen va netwaye yo de tout inikite avèk sila yo te peche kont Mwen yo. Mwen va padone tout inikite pa sila yo te peche kont Mwen yo e pa sila yo te fè transgresyon kont Mwen yo.
And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil against me.
9 Vil sa va pou Mwen yon non lajwa, lwanj ak laglwa devan tout nasyon latè yo, ki va tande afè tout byen ke M fè pou yo. Yo va gen lakrent e tranble akoz tout byen ak tout lapè ke M fè pou li.’”
And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.
10 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Yon fwa ankò yo va tande nan plas sa a, sou sa ou w ap di a: ‘Sa se yon dezè, san moun e san bèt, sa vle di nan vil a Juda yo ak ri Jérusalem yo, ki dezole, san moun e san pèsòn ni bèt pou rete ladann,’
This is what the Lord has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,
11 vwa lajwa a ak vwa kè kontan, vwa a yon jennonm ki fenk marye e vwa a jenn fi maryaj la, vwa a sila k ap di yo: ‘Bay remèsiman a SENYÈ dèzame yo, paske SENYÈ a bon, paske lanmou dous Li dire jis pou tout tan’; k ap pote yon ofrann remèsiman antre lakay SENYÈ a. Paske Mwen va restore bonè a peyi a jan li te ye oparavan an,” pale SENYÈ a.
Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, says the Lord.
12 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo: “Va ankò gen nan plas sa a ki dezè, ki san moun, ni bèt e nan tout vil li yo, yon kote pou bèje k ap okipe bann mouton yo rete.
This is what the Lord of armies has said: Again there will be in this place, which is a waste, without man and without beast, and in all its towns, a resting-place where the keepers of sheep will make their flocks take rest.
13 Nan vil a peyi kolin yo, nan vil a ba plèn yo, nan vil a dezè yo, nan peyi Benjamin an, nan andwa a Jérusalem yo e nan vil a Juda yo, bann mouton yo va ankò pase anba men a sila k ap konte yo a,” pale SENYÈ a.
In the towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering them, says the Lord.
14 “Gade byen, jou yo ap vini”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Lè Mwen va akonpli bon pawòl la Mwen te pale konsènan lakay Israël la ak lakay Juda a.
See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will give effect to the good word which I have said about the people of Israel and the people of Judah.
15 “Nan jou sa yo e nan lè sa a, Mwen va fè yon Branch ladwati a David pete vin parèt. Li va egzekite lajistis ak ladwati sou tout latè.
In those days and at that time, I will let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in righteousness in the land.
16 Nan jou sa yo, Juda va vin sove e Jérusalem va ansekirite. Men non pa sila li va rele a: SENYÈ a se ladwati nou.”
In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.
17 “Paske, se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘David p ap janm manke yon nonm pou chita sou twòn lakay Israël la.
For the Lord has said, David will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel;
18 Konsa, prèt Levit yo p ap janm manke yon nonm devan Mwen, pou ofri ofrann brile, pou brile ofrann sereyal e pou prepare sakrifis yo tout tan san rete.’”
And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.
19 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Si ou ka kraze akò Mwen an pou jounen an, e akò Mwen an pou nwit lan, pou jou sa a ak nwit sa a pa rive nan lè deziye yo,
The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,
21 alò, konsa sèlman, akò Mwen an kab kraze avèk David, Sèvitè Mwen an, pou li pa gen yon fis pou renye sou twòn li an e avèk prèt Levit yo, pou ministè pa m yo.
Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.
22 Tankou lame syèl la pa ka konte e sab lanmè a pa ka mezire, konsa Mwen va miltipliye desandan a David yo, sèvitè Mwen an ak Levit ki sèvi Mwen yo.’”
As it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.
23 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 “Pa okipe bagay pèp sa a te pale, lè yo di: ‘De fanmi ke SENYÈ a te chwazi yo, Li te fin rejte yo’? Konsa, yo meprize pèp Mwen an; yo pa menm ankò tankou yon nasyon nan zye yo.
Have you taken note of what these people have said, The two families, which the Lord took for himself, he has given up? This they say, looking down on my people as being, in their eyes, no longer a nation.
25 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Si akò Mwen an pou lajounen ak lannwit pa kanpe, epi aranjman ki òdone nan syèl yo pa t fèt pa Mwen menm,
The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me,
26 alò, sèl konsa, Mwen ta rejte desandan a Jacob yo ak David, sèvitè Mwen an e pa chwazi pami desandan li yo chèf sou desandan a Abraham, Issac ak Jacob yo. Men Mwen va restore bonè pa yo, e Mwen va genyen mizerikòd pou yo.’”
Then I will give up caring for the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will let their fate be changed and will have mercy on them.
