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——

And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, for which Jehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

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’.

then spake Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, “Thou speakest falsely; Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there;

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.”

but Baruch, the son of Neriah, setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldaeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive 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, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of Jehovah, to remain 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—

But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven to dwell in the land of Judah,

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.

the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had left with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah;

7 Epi yo te antre nan peyi Égypte la paske yo pa t obeyi a vwa SENYÈ e yo te rive jis Tachpnaès.

and they went into the land of Egypt; for they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah; and they came to Tahpanhes.

8 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote Jérémie nan Tachpanès. Li te di:

Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying:

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.

Take in thy hand great stones, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln which is at the entrance of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah,

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.

and say to them: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send, and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne upon these stones which I have hidden, and he shall spread his royal canopy 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.

And he shall come and smite the land of Egypt, and deliver those that are for death to death, and those that are for captivity to captivity, and those that are for the sword to 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.

And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive; and he shall wrap himself in the land of Egypt, as a shepherd wrappeth himself in his garment, and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

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.”’”

And he shall break in pieces the images of Bethshemesh in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.
