Jeremi 44
1 Pawòl ki te rive kote Jérémie pou tout Jwif ki te rete nan peyi Égypte yo, sila ki te rete nan Migdol yo, Tachpanès Noph ak nan peyi a Pathros yo. Li te di:
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt — who are dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros — saying,
2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Nou menm, nou te wè tout malè ke M te mennen sou Jérusalem ak tout vil Juda yo. Gade byen, nan jou sa a, yo fin kraze nèt e pèsòn pa rete nan yo,
'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Ye — ye have seen all the evil that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah, and lo, they [are] a waste this day, and there is none dwelling in them,
3 akoz mechanste ke yo te fè pou pwovoke M a lakòlè, akoz yo te kontinye brile sakrifis pou sèvi lòt dye ke yo pa t konnen, ni yo, ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo.
because of their wickedness that they have done, by provoking Me to anger, by going to make perfume, by serving other gods, that they knew not, they, ye, and your fathers.
4 Malgre sa, Mwen te voye bannou tout sèvitè mwen yo, pwofèt yo, ankò e ankò e Mwen te di: “Ah, pa fè bagay abominab sila ke m menm rayi a.”
'And I send unto you all my servants, the prophets, rising early and sending, saying: I pray you, do not this abomination that I have hated —
5 Men yo pa t koute, ni panche zòrèy yo pou kite mechanste yo, pou yo pa brile sakrifis a lòt dye yo.
and they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, to turn back from their wickedness, not to make perfume to other gods,
6 Akoz sa, kòlè Mwen ak mekontantman Mwen te vide e te brile nan vil Juda yo ak nan ri a Jérusalem yo, jiskaske yo vin detwi nèt e vin yon dezolasyon jis rive jodi a.’
and poured out is My fury, and Mine anger, and it burneth in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are for a waste, for a desolation, as [at] this day.
7 “Alò, konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Poukisa n ap fè gwo mal sa a nou menm, pou nou ta koupe retire nèt de nou menm, gason, fanm, pitit, ak tibebe, pou kite tèt nou san retay.
'And, now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Why are ye doing great evil unto your own souls, to cut off to you man and woman, infant and suckling, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave to you a remnant:
8 Epi pwovoke M a lakòlè avèk zèv men nou, brile sakrifis a lòt dye nan peyi Égypte yo, kote nou ap antre pou rezide, pou nou kab vin koupe retire nèt e devni yon madichon ak yon repwòch pami tout nasyon sou latè yo?
by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by making perfume to other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye are going in to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all nations of the earth?
9 Èske nou fin bliye mechanste a papa zansèt nou yo, mechanste a wa a Juda yo, mechanste a madanm yo, pwòp mechanste pa nou, mechanste a madanm pa nou yo, ke yo te komèt nan peyi Juda a ak nan ri Jérusalem yo.
'Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
10 Men yo pa t repanti, menm jis rive jodi a, ni yo pa t gen lakrent, ni mache nan lalwa Mwen, ni règleman ke M te mete devan nou yo ak devan papa zansèt nou yo.’
They have not been humbled unto this day, nor have they been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My statutes, that I have set before you and before your fathers.
11 “Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen ap fikse fas Mwen kont nou pou malè, menm pou koupe retire tout Juda.
'Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am setting my face against you for evil, even to cut off all Judah,
12 Epi Mwen va retire retay Juda ki te fikse panse yo sou antre nan peyi Égypte pou abite la, e yo va tout twouve move desten pa yo. La, nan peyi Égypte, yo va tonbe pa nepe e rankontre desten yo nan gwo grangou. Yo va devni yon madichon, yon objè degoutan, yon anatèm ak yon repwòch.
and I have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by sword, by famine they are consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine they die, and they have been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach.
13 Epi Mwen va pini sila ki rete an peyi Égypte, kon mwen te pini Jérusalem, ak nepe a, ak grangou, ak bèt ki ravaje chan e ak epidemi.
'And I have seen after those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and with pestilence,
14 Konsa, p ap gen moun ki chape, ni ki retounen nan retay Juda ki te antre nan peyi Égypte pou rezide la ak entansyon pou retounen nan peyi Juda, kote yo gen anvi retounen viv la. Paske okenn moun p ap retounen sof ke kèk grenn ki chape.’”
and there is not an escaped and remaining one of the remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, whither they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do not turn back, except those escaping.'
15 Epi tout sila ki te konnen ke madanm yo t ap brile sakrifis a lòt dye yo, ansanm ak tout fanm ki te kanpe la yo, yon gwo asanble, menm ak tout moun ki te rete Pathros nan peyi Égypte la, te reponn a Jérémie. Yo te di:
And they answer Jeremiah — all the men who are knowing that their wives are making perfume to other gods, and all the women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros — saying:
16 “Pou mesaj ke ou te pale nou nan non SENYÈ a, nou p ap koute ou!
'The word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of Jehovah — we are not hearkening unto thee;
17 Men pito, nou va akonpli tout pawòl ki te sòti nan bouch pa nou, lè n ap brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la, e vide bwason devan l, menm jan ke nou menm, ak papa zansèt nou yo, wa nou yo, ak prèt nou yo te konn fè nan vil Juda yo ak nan ri a Jérusalem yo. Paske nan lè sa a, nou te gen kont manje, nou te byen alèz e nou pa t konn soufri malè.
for we certainly do everything that hath gone out of our mouth, to make perfume to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her libations, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and — we are satisfied with bread, and we are well, and evil we have not seen.
18 Men depi lè nou te sispann brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la ak vide bwason devan l, nou te vin manke tout bagay, e nou te vin anile pa nepe ak gwo grangou.”
'And from the time we have ceased to make perfume to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her libations, we have lacked all, and by sword and by famine we have been consumed,
19 Fanm yo te pale: “Lè nou t ap brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la, e nou t ap vide ofrann bwason a li menm, èske se te san mari nou ke nou te fè pou li gato sakrifis nan imaj li e te vide ofrann bwason a li menm?”
and when we are making perfume to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her libations — without our husbands have we made for her cakes to idolize her, and to pour out to her libations?'
20 Epi Jérémie te di a tout pèp la, a mesye yo ak fanm yo—menm a tout pèp ki t ap reponn li konsa yo—e li te di:
And Jeremiah saith unto all the people, concerning the men and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are answering him, saying:
21 Pou sakrifis lafimen ke nou te brile nan vil a Juda yo ak ri a Jérusalem yo, nou menm ak papa zansèt nou yo, wa nou yo, ak prens nou yo e pèp peyi a, èske SENYÈ a pa t sonje yo, e èske tout sa pa t antre nan panse Li?
'The perfume that ye made in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your heads, and the people of the land, hath not Jehovah remembered it? yea, it cometh up on His heart.
22 Konsa, SENYÈ a pa t ka sipòte sa akoz mechanste a zak nou yo, akoz zak abominab ke nou te komèt yo. Se pou sa, peyi nou an fin detwi nèt, yon objè degoutan ak yon madichon, san pèsòn pou rete ladann, jan li ye jodi a.
And Jehovah is not able any more to accept [you], because of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that ye have done, and your land is for a waste, and for an astonishment, and for a reviling, without inhabitant, as [at] this day.
23 Akoz nou te brile sakrifis yo, nou te peche kont SENYÈ a e pa t obeyi vwa SENYÈ a, ni mache nan lalwa Li, règleman Li yo, ak temwayaj Li yo; akoz sa, gran malè sa a vin tonbe sou nou, jan li ye jodi a.
'Because that ye have made perfume, and because ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and in His law, and in His statutes, and in His testimonies ye have not walked, therefore hath this evil met you as [at] this day.'
24 Konsa, Jérémie te di a tout pèp la, ansanm ak tout fanm yo: “Tande pawòl SENYÈ a, tout Juda ki rete nan peyi Égypte la,
And Jeremiah saith unto all the people, and unto all the women, 'Hear ye a word of Jehovah, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt,
25 Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, konsa: ‘Pou nou menm ak madanm nou, nou te pale ak bouch nou, nou te akonpli sa ak men nou, e nou te di: “Anverite, nou va akonpli ve ke nou te fè yo, pou nou brile sakrifis a rèn syèl la, e vide bwason nou yo a li menm.” “‘Ale fè l, pou akonpli ve nou yo; e byen si, akonpli ve nou yo!’
Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying: Ye and your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have fulfilled, saying: We certainly execute our vows that we have vowed, to make perfume to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her libations, ye do certainly establish your vows, and certainly execute your vows.
26 “Sepandan, tande pawòl SENYÈ a, tout moun Juda ki rete nan peyi Égypte la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen te sèmante pa gran non Mwen,’ SENYÈ a di: ‘Pinga non Mwen janm nome ankò nan bouch a okenn moun Juda nan tout peyi Égypte la, pou ta di: “Jan Senyè BONDYE a viv la.”
'Therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Lo, I — I have sworn by My great name, said Jehovah, My name is no more proclaimed by the mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Live doth the Lord Jehovah — in all the land of Egypt.
27 Gade byen, M ap veye sou yo pou malè yo, e pa pou byen yo. Tout mesye Juda ki nan peyi Égypte yo, va rankontre lafen pa yo ak nepe e ak gwo grangou jiskaske yo fin disparèt nèt.
Lo, I am watching over them for evil, and not for good, and consumed have been all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt, by sword and by famine, till their consumption.
28 Sila ki chape anba nepe yo va retounen sòti nan peyi Égypte pou rive Juda p ap gen anpil menm. Nan lè sa a, retay Juda ki te ale nan peyi Égypte pou rezide yo, va konnen pawòl a kilès k ap kanpe, si se pa M nan, oswa pa yo a’.
'And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and known have all the remnant of Judah who are coming into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, whose word is established, Mine or theirs.
29 “‘Sa va sèvi kon sign pou nou’, SENYÈ a di: ‘ke Mwen va pini nou nan plas sa a, pou nou ka konnen ke pawòl Mwen va, anverite, kanpe kont nou pou malè nou.’
'And this [is] to you the sign — an affirmation of Jehovah — that I am seeing after you in this place, so that ye know that My words are certainly established against you for evil;
30 Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va livre Farawon Hophra, wa Égypte la, nan men lènmi li yo; nan men a sila k ap chache lavi li, menm jan ke m te livre Sédécias, wa Juda a, nan men Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, ki te ènmi li e ki t ap chache lavi li.’”
Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who is seeking his life.'
