Jeremi 43
1 Men la menm Jérémie, ke SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, te voye a, te fin pale tout pèp la tout pawòl a SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a—— sa vle di, tout pawòl sila yo——
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
2 Azaria, fis a Hosée, Jochanan, fis a Karéach e tout mesye ògeye yo te di a Jérémie: “W ap bay manti! SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pa t voye ou di: ‘Nou p ap antre Égypte pou rete la’.
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
3 Men se Baruc, fis a Nérija a, k ap chofe ou kont nou pou livre nou nan men a Kaldeyen yo, pou yo menm mete nou a lanmò, oswa ekzile nou Babylone.”
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
4 Pou sa, Jochanan, fis a Karéach la ak tout chèf lame yo, ak tout pèp la, pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ a pou rete nan peyi Juda a.
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah.
5 Men Jochanan, fis a Karéach la, ak tout chèf lame yo te pran tout retay a Juda yo, ki te retounen soti nan tout nasyon kote yo te konn chase yo rive, pou yo ta ka rete nan peyi Juda a—
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
6 mesye yo, fanm yo, timoun yo, fi a wa yo, e chak moun ke Nebuzaradan, chèf a kò gad la te kite avèk Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan ak granpapa a Schaphan, ansanm ak Jérémie, pwofèt la e Baruc, fis a Nérija a.
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
7 Epi yo te antre nan peyi Égypte la paske yo pa t obeyi a vwa SENYÈ e yo te rive jis Tachpnaès.
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
8 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie nan Tachpanès. Li te di:
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 “Pran kèk nan gwo wòch nan men ou, e sere yo nan mòtye nan pave brik ki nan antre palè Farawon ki nan Tachpanès la, devan zye a kèk nan Jwif yo.
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
10 Epi di yo: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Gade byen, Mwen va voye chache Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan sèvitè Mwen an, e Mwen va plase twòn li byen dirèk anwo wòch sila ke m te kache yo; epi li va ouvri gwo abri wayàl pa l anwo yo.
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
11 Anplis, li va vin frape peyi Égypte la. Sila ki te fèt pou mouri va mouri; sila pou prizon yo, va vin anprizone, e sila ki pou nepe yo, va jwenn nepe.
He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
12 Epi Mwen va mete dife sou tanp dye Égypte yo, li va brile yo e soti avèk yo kon prizonye. Li va vlope li menm ak peyi Égypte kon yon bèje vlope kò l ak vètman li, e li va sòti la, ansekirite.
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
13 Anplis, li va kraze nèt imaj an wòch Beth-Schémech yo, ki nan peyi Égypte la, epi tanp dye a Égypte yo, li va brile yo ak dife.”’”
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
