Jeremiah 32
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, the king of Judah. The same is the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi yon lòt fwa ankò. Lè sa a Sedesyas te gen dizan depi li te wa peyi Jida, Nèbikadneza te gen dizwitan depi li te wa lavil Babilòn.
2 It was then that the army of the king of Babylon besieged Jerusalem. And Jeremiah, the prophet, was confined to the atrium of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Judah.
Lame wa Babilòn lan te sènen lavil Jerizalèm. Yo te arete pwofèt Jeremi, yo te fèmen l' nan lakou palè wa Jida a kote gad yo ye a.
3 For Zedekiah, the king of Judah, had confined him, saying: “Why do you make predictions, saying: ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it?
Se Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, ki te fè fèmen pwofèt la la, paske li t'ap fè l' repwòch dèske li te bay mesaj sa a nan non Bondye Seyè a: M'ap lage lavil Jerizalèm nan men wa Babilòn lan. L'ap pran l'.
4 And Zedekiah, the king of Judah, will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans. Instead, he will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon. And he will speak to him, mouth to mouth, and he will see him, eye to eye.
Wa Sedesyas p'ap chape anba men moun Kalde yo. M'ap lage l' nan men wa Babilòn lan. L'a konparèt devan wa a, y'a pale yonn ak lòt, je nan je.
5 And he will lead Zedekiah to Babylon. And he will be there until I visit him, says the Lord. So then, if you contend against the Chaldeans, you will have no success.’”
Apre sa, y'a mennen Sedesyas lavil Babilòn, li va rete la jouk m'a regle avè l'. Menm si nou goumen ak moun Babilòn yo, nou p'ap janm genyen lagè a. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
6 And Jeremiah said: “The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Lè sa a, Jeremi rakonte ki jan Seyè a te pale avè l'. Seyè a te di l' konsa:
7 Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your cousin, will come to you, saying: ‘Buy for yourself my field, which is in Anathoth. For it is your right, as next of kin, to buy it.’
-Anamèl, kouzen ou lan, pitit Chaloum, tonton ou bò papa, pral vin wè ou. Li pral mande ou pou achte yon jaden li genyen lavil Anatòt, paske se ou menm ki fanmi pi pre ak li, se ou menm an premye ki gen dwa achte l'.
8 And in accord with the word of the Lord, Hanamel, the son of my uncle, came to me, to the entrance of the prison, and he said to me: ‘Take possession of my field, which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. For the right of inheritance is yours, and as the next of kin you may possess it.’ Then I understood that this was the word of the Lord.
Se konsa, jan Seyè a te fè m' konnen an, kouzen m' Anamèl vin jwenn mwen nan lakou palè kote gad yo ye a. Li mande m' pou m' achte yon jaden li te genyen lavil Anatòt, nan peyi moun Benjamen yo. Li di se mwen an premye ki gen dwa achte l' paske se mwen ki fanmi pi pre ak li. Konsa, se mwen ki pou achte l' nan men l'. Lè sa a, mwen vin sèten se Seyè a menm ki te pale avè m'.
9 And I bought the field, which is in Anathoth, from Hanamel, the son of my uncle. And I weighed out the money to him, seven small coins and ten pieces of silver.
M' achte jaden an nan men Anamèl, pitit tonton m' lan, mwen peze lajan pou m' ba li a. Lajan an te rive disèt pyès an ajan.
10 And I wrote it in a book and signed it, and I summoned witnesses. And I weighed out the silver on a scale.
Apre sa, mwen siyen de papye tè yo, mwen mete so m' sou yonn. Mwen fè temwen yo siyen tou, mwen fè kontwole pèz lajan an nan balans.
11 And I received the signed deed of possession, and the stipulations, and the ratifications, with the exterior seals.
Apre sa, mwen pran de papye tè yo. Sa ki te sele a te gen kontra lavant lan jan lalwa mande l' la. Lòt papye a te rete tou louvri.
12 And I gave the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanamel, the son of my uncle, in the sight of the witnesses who had been recorded in the book of the purchase, and in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the atrium of the prison.
Mwen renmèt papye tè yo bay Bawouk, pitit gason Nerija, pitit pitit Makseja, devan Anamèl, kouzen m' lan, devan lòt temwen ki te siyen papye tè yo, devan tout moun peyi Jida ki te la nan lakou gad palè a.
13 And I instructed Baruch, in their sight, saying:
Devan yo tout, mwen di Bawouk konsa:
14 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Take these writings, this sealed deed of purchase, and this deed which is open, and place them in an earthen vessel, so that they will be preserved for many days.’
-Men lòd Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay. Pran de papye tè sa yo, sa ki sele a ak sa ki tou louvri a, mete yo nan yon ti kannari pou yo ka konsève pandan lontan.
15 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Houses, and fields, and vineyards will be possessed still, in this land.’
Paske yon lè yo va achte kay, jaden ak pye rezen nan peyi a ankò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
16 And after I had delivered the deed of possession to Baruch, the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
Apre mwen te fin bay Bawouk, pitit gason Nerija a, papye tè yo, mwen lapriyè Seyè a, mwen di l':
17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, you have made heaven and earth, by your great strength and by your outstretched arm. No word is difficult for you.
-Aa, Seyè, Bondye! Se avèk fòs kouraj ou, se avèk gwo pouvwa ou ou te fè syèl la ak latè a. Anyen pa twò difisil pou ou.
18 You act with mercy a thousand-fold, but you repay the iniquity of the fathers into the sinews of their sons after them. The Lord of hosts is your name: most strong, great, and powerful!
Ou fè mil jenerasyon nan yon fanmi wè jan ou gen bon kè. Men tou, ou fè pitit peye pou peche papa ak manman yo te fè. Ou se yon Bondye ki gen pouvwa, ki gen fòs. Yo rele ou: Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a.
19 You are great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought. Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of Adam, so that you may repay each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his intentions.
Plan travay ou, se gwo zafè. Yo pa ka konte bèl bagay ou fè yo. Je ou louvri sou tou sa moun ap fè, pou bay chak moun sa yo merite dapre sa yo fè, dapre jan yo mennen bak yo.
20 You caused signs and portents in the land of Egypt, and in Israel, and among men, even until this day. And you have made a name for yourself, just as in this day.
Depi nan tan lontan rive jouk jounen jòdi a, ou te fè mirak ak mèvèy nan peyi Lejip, nan peyi Izrayèl ak nan tout lòt nasyon yo. Konsa, koulye a yo konnen ou toupatou.
21 And you have led your people Israel away from the land of Egypt, with signs and portents, and with a robust hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
Ou fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip ak fòs ponyèt ou ak gwo kouraj ou. Ou te fè anpil mirak ak anpil mèvèy, anpil bagay ki te fè moun pè.
22 And you have given them this land, which you swore, to their fathers, that you would give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Ou te ba yo peyi ou te pwomèt ou t'ap bay zansèt yo a, peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo.
23 And they entered it and possessed it. But they did not obey your voice, and they did not walk in your law. And they did not do all of the things that you commanded them to do. And so, all of these evils have happened to them.
Yo rive nan peyi a, yo pran l' pou yo, men yo derefize koute ou. Yo pa viv jan ou te mande yo viv la. Yo pa fè tou sa ou te ba yo lòd fè a. Se konsa, ou voye tout gwo malè sa a sou yo jòdi a.
24 Behold, fortifications were built against the city, so as to capture it. And the city was given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, before the face of the sword, and of famine, and of pestilence. And what you have spoken has occurred, just as you yourself discern.
Moun Babilòn yo sènen lavil la, y'ap anpile tè nan pye miray yo, y'ap pwoche pou yo pran lavil la. Nou ta mèt di lavil la nan men yo deja. Lagè, grangou ak move maladi fin kraze kouraj moun yo. Ou wè sa ou te di a rive vre.
25 So why, O Lord God, are you saying to me: ‘Buy a field with money, and summon witnesses,’ while the city is being given into the hands of the Chaldeans?”
Wi, sa ki rete pou lavil la tonbe nan men moun Babilòn yo pa anyen. Poukisa atò, Seyè Bondye, ou ban m' lòd achte jaden sa a pou lajan kach devan temwen?
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, li di l' konsa:
27 “Behold, I am the Lord God; I am above all flesh. Can any word be difficult for me?
-Mwen menm Seyè a, mwen se Bondye tout moun sou latè. Pa gen anyen ki twò difisil pou m' fè.
28 Therefore, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they will capture it.
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm mwen di ou: m'ap lage lavil sa a nan men moun Babilòn yo, nan men Nèbikadneza, wa yo a! Y'ap pran lavil la.
29 And the Chaldeans fighting against this city will advance, and set fire to it, and burn it, along with the houses on whose roofs they were offering sacrifice to Baal and were pouring out libations to strange gods, so that they provoked me to wrath.
Moun Babilòn k'ap atake lavil la pral antre ladan l'. Y'ap mete dife, y'ap boule l'. Y'ap mete dife nan kay kote moun yo te fè m' fache anpil la, lè yo te moute anwo twati a pou boule lansan pou Baal, pou fè ofrann diven pou lòt bondye.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, from their youth, have continually done evil in my eyes. The sons of Israel, even until now, have been provoking me with the work of their hands, says the Lord.
Paske, moun Izrayèl yo ak moun Jida yo, se sa ki mal ase y'ap fè depi nan konmansman. Wi, moun Izrayèl yo, se fache y'ap fè m' fache ase ak tou sa y'ap fè a. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
31 For this city has been a cause of fury and indignation to me, from the day when they built it, until this day, in which it will be taken away from my sight,
Lavil Jerizalèm sa a, depi jou yo te bati l' la rive jouk jòdi a, se kòlè l'ap fè m' fè, se move san l'ap fè m' fè. Kifè koulye a, mwen pa ka wè l' devan je m' ankò.
32 because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their leaders and their priests and their prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Akòz tou sa moun peyi Izrayèl yo ak moun peyi Jida yo te fè ki mal, m' about ak yo tout, ni wa yo, ni chèf yo, ni prèt yo, ni pwofèt yo, ni moun peyi Jida yo, ni moun lavil Jerizalèm yo.
33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. And though I taught them and instructed them, rising at first light, they were not willing to listen, so that they would receive discipline.
Yo vire do ban mwen. Malgre mwen pa t' janm sispann montre yo sa pou yo fè, yo pa t' vle koute m', yo pa vle aprann.
34 And they have placed their idols in the house where my name is invoked, so that they defiled it.
Yo mete vye zidòl yo nan tanp yo te mete apa pou mwen an, yo fè tanp lan pa nan kondisyon pou sèvi m' ankò.
35 And they have built the exalted places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that they may initiate their sons and their daughters into Molech, though I did not command, nor did it enter into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and so lead Judah into sin.
Yo bati lotèl pou Baal nan Fon Benninon an, yo ofri pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo pou yo touye pou Molòk, bagay mwen pa t' janm ba yo lòd fè, bagay ki pa t' janm vin nan lide m'. Lè yo fè bagay degoutan sa a, yo fè pèp Jida a tonbe nan peche.
36 And now, because of these things, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to this city, about which you say that it will be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa: -Koulye a mwen ta renmen di yon lòt bagay sou lavil Jerizalèm. Ou te di ansanm ak lòt yo: Lagè, grangou ak move maladi ap fini ak lavil la, l'ap tonbe nan men wa Babilòn lan.
37 Behold, I will gather them together from all the lands to which I have cast them out in my fury, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation. And I will lead them back to this place, and I will cause them to live in confidence.
Enben, wi! Mwen te fache sou yo, mwen te move anpil, mwen te fè gwo kòlè. Lè sa a, mwen gaye yo nan yon bann peyi. Men, mwen pral sanble yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen isit la ankò pou yo ka viv san kè sote.
38 And they will be my people, and I will be their God.
Lè sa a, yo menm y'a tounen pèp ki apa pou mwen an ankò, mwen menm m'a tounen Bondye yo ankò.
39 And I will give to them one heart and one way, so that they may fear me all their days, and so that it may be well with them, and with their sons after them.
Sèl lide m'ap mete nan tèt yo tout, sèl anvi m'a ba yo tout, se pou yo gen krentif pou mwen tout tan. Se va pou byen yo ak pou byen pitit pitit yo.
40 And I will form an everlasting covenant with them, and I will not cease to do good for them. And I will put my fear into their heart, so that they do not withdraw from me.
M'ap pase yon kontra ak yo ki p'ap janm kase. M'ap pran angajman mwen p'ap janm lage yo. Mwen p'ap janm sispann fè yo byen. Wi, m'a fè yo gen krentif pou mwen ak tout kè yo. Konsa, yo p'ap janm vire do ban mwen ankò.
41 And I will rejoice over them, while I do good for them. And I will plant them in this land, in truth, with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
M'a pran plezi pou m' fè yo byen. M'a travay ak tout kè m' ak tout nanm mwen pou yo pran rasin nèt nan peyi a.
42 For thus says the Lord: Just as I have led over this people all this great evil, so will I lead over them all the good that I am speaking to them now.
Seyè a di ankò: Menm jan se mwen menm ki te fè gwo malè sa a rive pèp la, konsa tou, se mwen menm ki pral ba yo tout bon bagay mwen te pwomèt m'ap ba yo.
43 And fields will be possessed in this land, about which you say that it is desolate because there remains neither man nor beast, and because it has been given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
W'ap di ansanm ak lòt moun yo: Peyi a fini. Pa gen yon moun, pa gen yon bèt ladan l'. Yo lage peyi a nan men moun Babilòn yo. Men yon lè, moun va achte tè nan peyi a ankò.
44 Fields will be bought for money, and deeds will be written and signed, and witnesses will be summoned, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south. For I will convert their captivity, says the Lord.”
Wi, nan tout peyi Benjamen an, nan tout ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj lavil Jerizalèm yo, nan tout lavil Jida yo, nan lavil ki nan mòn yo, nan tout lavil ki nan plenn yo, bò lanmè, ak nan sid peyi a, moun va achte jaden, y'a pase papye tè, y'a sele yo, y'a fè temwen siyen yo. Paske m'ap fè pèp la tounen nan peyi a ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Jerizalèm
