Jeremi 36
1 Nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, pawòl sa a te rive a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a. Li te di:
And these are the words of the book which Jeremias sent from Jerusalem to the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the false prophets, even an epistle to Babylon for the captivity, and to all the people;
2 “Pran yon woulo e ekri sou li tout pawòl ke M te pale ou konsènan Israël, konsènan Juda, e konsènan tout nasyon yo, depi nan jou ke M te premyèman pale ak ou a, depi nan jou a Josias yo, jis pou rive nan jou sa a.
(after the departure of Jechonias the king and the queen, and the eunuchs, and every freeman, and bondman, and artificer, out of Jerusalem; )
3 Petèt, lakay Juda va tande afè tout malè ke M gen lentansyon fè rive yo, jiskaske tout moun va detounen kite chemen mechan pa yo; epi konsa, Mwen kapab padone inikite ak peche yo.”
by the hand of Eleasan son of Saphan, and Gamarias son of Chelcias, (whom Sedekias king of Juda sent to the king of Babylon to Babylon) saying,
4 Konsa, Jérémie te rele Baruc, fis a Nérija a, e Baruc te ekri sou yon woulo, selon dikte Jérémie, tout pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale a li yo.
Thus said the Lord God of Israel concerning the captivity which I caused to be carried away from Jerusalem;
5 Jérémie te kòmande Baruc. Li te di: “Mwen limite. Mwen p ap ka antre lakay SENYÈ a.
Build ye houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruits thereof;
6 Akoz sa, ou va ale li depi nan woulo ke ou te ekri selon dikte mwen an, pawòl a SENYÈ a. Li l a pèp lakay SENYÈ a nan yon jou jèn. Epi anplis, ou va li yo a tout pèp Juda a lè yo antre sòti nan vil yo.
and take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and be multiplied, and be not diminished.
7 Petèt siplikasyon yo va vini devan SENYÈ a, e tout moun va detounen kite chemen mechan yo. Paske kòlè ak gwo mekontantman SENYÈ a pwononse kont pèp sa a, byen gran.”
And seek the peace of the land into which I have carried you captive, and ye shall pray to the Lord for the people: for in its peace ye shall [have] peace.
8 Baruc, fis a Nérija a, te fè selon tout sa ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te kòmande li yo. Li te li nan woulo pawòl a SENYÈ a, lakay SENYÈ a.
For thus saith the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and hearken not to your dreams which ye dream.
9 Alò, nan senkyèm ane Jojakim lan, fis a Josias, wa a Juda a, nan nevyèm mwa a, tout pèp Jérusalem nan ak tout moun ki te antre soti nan vil Jérusalem yo, te pwoklame yon jèn devan SENYÈ a.
For they prophesy to you unrighteous [words] in my name; and I sent them not.
10 Epi Baruc te li nan woulo pawòl a Jérémie yo lakay SENYÈ a nan chanm a Guemaria, fis Schaphan an, grefye nan tribinal anwo a, nan antre Pòtay Nèf la lakay SENYÈ a, devan tout pèp la.
For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place.
11 Alò, lè Michée, fis a Guemaria, fis a Schaphan an, te tande tout pawòl a SENYÈ a soti nan liv la,
And I will devise for you a device of peace, and not evil, to bestow upon you these [good things].
12 Li te desann lakay wa a, nan chanm grefye a. Epi gade byen, tout ofisye yo te chita la—-Élischama, grefye a, Delaja, fis a Schemaeja a, Elnathan, fis a Acbor a, Guemaria, fis a Schaphan an e Sédécias, fis a Hanania a, ak tout lòt chèf yo.
And do ye pray to me, and I will hearken to you: and do ye earnestly seek me, and ye shall find me;
13 Michée te deklare a yo menm tout pawòl ke li te tande lè Baruc te li soti nan liv a pèp la.
for ye shall seek me with your whole heart.
14 Epi tout ofisye yo te voye Jehudi, fis a Nethania, fis a Schélémia, fis a Cuschi a, kote Baruc e te di: “Pran nan men ou woulo ke ou te li a pèp la e vini.” Konsa Baruc, fis a Nethania, te pran woulo a nan men l e te ale kote yo.
And I will appear to you:
15 Yo te di li: “Chita la, souple e li li bannou.” Konsa, Baruc te li li bay yo.
whereas ye said, The Lord has appointed for us prophets in Babylon:
16 Lè yo te tande tout pawòl yo; ak gwo perèz, yo te vire youn vè lòt e yo te di a Baruc: “Anverite, nou va bay rapò tout pawòl sa yo bay wa a.”
17 Epi yo te mande Baruc e te di: “Di nou, souple, kijan ou te ekri tout pawòl sa yo? Èske se te selon dikte pa li?”
18 Epi Baruc te di yo: “Li te dikte tout pawòl sa yo e mwen te ekri yo ak lank nan liv la.”
19 Alò, ofisye yo te di a Baruc: “Ale, kache tèt ou, ou menm ak Jérémie e pa kite pèsòn konnen kote nou ye.”
20 Pou sa, yo te ale kote wa a nan lakou a, men yo te depoze woulo a nan chanm Élischama, grefye a, e yo te fè rapò tout pawòl sa yo a wa a.
21 Epi wa a te voye Jehudi chache woulo a, e li te retire li nan chanm Élischama, grefye a. Epi Jehudi te li li bay wa a ansanm ak tout ofisye ki te kanpe akote wa a.
Thus saith the Lord concerning Achiab, and concerning Sedekias; Behold, I [will] deliver them into the hands of the king of Babylon; and he shall smite them in your sight.
22 Alò, wa a te chita nan kay sezon livè a, nan nevyèm mwa a, ak dife ki t ap brile nan recho la devan l.
And they shall make of them a curse in all the captivity of Juda in Babylon, saying, The Lord do to thee as he did to Sedekias, and as he did to Achiab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire;
23 Lè Jehudi te fin li twa oswa kat pòsyon, wa a te koupe li ak yon kouto e te jete li nan dife ki te nan recho a, jiskaske woulo a te fin manje nèt nan dife ki te nan recho a.
because of the iniquity which they wrought in Israel, and [because] they committed adultery with the wives of their fellow-citizens; and spoke a word in my name, which I did not command them [to speak], and I am witness, saith the Lord.
24 Malgre sa, wa a ak tout sèvitè ki te tande pawòl sila yo pa t pè, ni yo pa t chire rad yo.
And to Samaeas the Aelamite thou shalt say,
25 Menmsi Elnathan, Delaja ak Guemaria te sipliye wa a pou l pa brile woulo a, li te refize koute yo.
I sent thee not in my name: and to Sophonias the priest the son of Maasaeas say thou,
26 Epi wa a te kòmande Jerachmeel, fis a wa a, Seraja, fis Azriel e Schélémia, fis a Abdeel, pou sezi Baruc, grefye a ak Jérémie, pwofèt la, men SENYÈ a te kache yo.
The Lord has made thee priest in the place of Jodae the priest, to be ruler in the house of the Lord over every prophet, and to every madman, and thou shalt put them in prison, and into the dungeon.
27 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie lè wa a te fin brile woulo pawòl ke Baruc te ekri selon dikte Jérémie a e te di:
And now wherefore have ye reviled together Jeremias of Anathoth, who prophesied to you?
28 “Pran ankò yon lòt woulo e ekri sou li tout menm pawòl ki te ekri sou premye woulo ke Jojakim, wa Juda a, te brile a.
Did he not send for this purpose? for in the course of this month he sent to you to Babylon, saying, It is far off: build ye houses, and inhabit [them]; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
29 Epi konsènan Jojakim, wa Juda a, ou va di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Ou te brile woulo sa a e ou te di: ‘Poukisa ou te ekri sou li ke wa Babylone nan va, anverite, vin detwi peyi sa a e va fè ni lòm ni bèt vin disparèt ladann?’”’
And Sophonias read the book in the ears of Jeremias.
30 ‘Akoz sa’, pale SENYÈ a konsènan Jojakim wa Juda a: “Li p ap gen okenn moun ki pou chita sou twòn David la, e kadav li va jete deyò nan chalè lajounen ak gwo fredi lannwit.
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
31 Anplis, Mwen va pini li ak desandan li yo ak sèvitè pou inikite yo, e Mwen va mennen sou yo ak sila k ap viv Jérusalem yo, ak mesye Juda yo, tout malè ke M te deklare a yo menm yo—men yo pa t koute.”’”
Send to the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Samaeas the Aelamite, Since Samaeas has prophesied to you, and I sent him not, and he has made you to trust in iniquity,
32 Epi Jérémie te pran yon lòt woulo. Li te bay li a Baruc, fis a Nérija a, grefye a, epi li te ekri sou li selon dikte a Jérémie, tout pawòl a liv ke Jojakim, wa Juda a te brile nan dife a; epi anpil pawòl parèy a yo te ajoute nan yo.
therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will visit Samaeas, and his family: and there shall not be a man of them in the midst of you to see the good which I will do to you: they shall not see [it].
