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 Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut within the courtyard of the guard, 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.
“Yahweh the maker, says this—Yahweh, who forms in order to establish—Yahweh is his name,
3 ‘Rele Mwen, Mwen va reponn ou e Mwen va di ou gwo bagay pwisan ke ou pa t janm konnen.’
'Call to me, and I will answer you. I will demonstrate great things to you, mysteries that you do not understand.'
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 Yahweh, God of Israel, says this concerning the houses in this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that are torn down because of the siege ramps and the sword,
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,
'The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill the houses with corpses of people whom I will kill in my wrath and fury, when I hide my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
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.
But see, I am about to bring healing and a cure, for I will heal them and will bring to them abundance, peace, and faithfulness.
7 Mwen va restore bonè a Juda ak bonè a Israël, e Mwen va rebati yo jan yo te ye o kòmansman an.
For I will bring back the fortunes of Judah and Israel; I will build them up as in the beginning.
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.
Then I will purify them from all the iniquity that they have committed against me. I will pardon all the iniquities that they have done against me, and all the ways that they rebelled 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.’”
For this city will become for me an object of joy, a song of praise and honor for all the nations of the earth who will hear of all the good things that I am going to do for it. Then they will fear and tremble because of all the good things and the peace that I will give to 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,’
Yahweh says this, 'In this place about which you are now saying, “It is desolate, a place with neither man nor beast,” in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate having neither man nor beast, there will be heard again
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.
the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, the sound of those who say, while they bring thank offerings to the house of Yahweh, “Give thanks to Yahweh of hosts, for Yahweh is good, and his unfailing love lasts forever!” For I will restore the fortunes of the land to what they were before,' says Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh of hosts says this: 'In this desolate place, where now there is neither man nor beast—in all its cities there will again be pastures where shepherds can rest their flocks.
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 cities in the hill country, the lowlands, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the ones counting them,' says Yahweh.
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.
'Look! Days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will do what I have promised for the house of Israel and the house 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 in that time I will make a righteous branch to grow for David, and he will carry out justice and 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 be saved, and Jerusalem will live in security, for this is what she will be called, “Yahweh 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 Yahweh says this: 'A man from David's line will never be lacking to sit on the throne of the house 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.’”
nor will a man from the Levitical priests be lacking before me to raise burnt offerings, to burn food offerings, and to perform grain offerings all the time.'”
19 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie e te di:
The word of Yahweh 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,
“Yahweh says this: 'If you can break my covenant with day and night so that there will no longer be day or night at their proper 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 you will be able to break my covenant with David my servant, so that he will no longer have a son to sit on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical 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 the hosts of heaven cannot be counted, and as the sand of the seashores cannot be measured, so I will increase the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who serve before me.'”
23 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie. Li te di:
The word of Yahweh 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 not considered what this people has declared when they said, 'The two families that Yahweh chose, now he has rejected them'? In this way they despise my people, saying that they are no longer a nation in their sight.
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,
I, Yahweh, say this, 'If I have not established the covenant of day and night, and if I have not fixed the laws of heaven and earth,
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 reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant, and not bring from them a person to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and show mercy to them.'”
