Jeremiah 38
1 Forsothe Safacie, sone of Nathan, and Jedelie, sone of Fassur, and Jothal, sone of Selemye, and Fassour, sone of Melchie, herden the wordis whiche Jeremye spak to al the puple,
Chefatya, pitit Matan, Gedalya, pitit Pachou, Jeoukal, pitit Chelemya, ak Pachou, pitit Malkya, te vin konnen Jeremi t'ap pale ak pèp la. Li t'ap di yo konsa:
2 `and seide, The Lord seith these thingis, Who euer dwellith in this citee, schal die bi swerd, and hungur, and pestilence; but he that flieth to Caldeis, shal lyue, and his soule schal be hool and lyuynge.
-Men mesaj Seyè a bay: tout moun ki va rete nan lavil la pral mouri. Sa ki pa mouri nan lagè pral mouri grangou, osinon move maladi ap pote yo ale. Men, tout moun ki va soti al rann tèt yo bay moun Babilòn yo p'ap mouri. Y'a sove lavi yo.
3 The Lord seith these thingis, This citee to be bitakun schal be bitakun in to the hond of the oost of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal take it.
Wi, men sa Seyè a di: Mwen pral lage lavil la nan men lame moun Babilòn yo. Y'ap pran lavil la pou yo.
4 And the princes seiden to the kyng, We preien, that this man be slayn; for of bifore castyng he discoumfortith the hondis of men werriours, that dwelliden in this citee, and the hondis of al the puple, and spekith to hem bi alle these wordis. For whi this man sekith not pees to this puple, but yuel.
Chèf yo al di wa a: -Se pou yo touye nonm sa a. Paske lè l'ap pale konsa, li fè sòlda yo ansanm ak tout lòt moun ki rete nan lavil la pèdi kouraj. Nonm sa a pa soti pou l' ede pèp la. Se mal ase li vle pou li.
5 And kyng Sedechie seide, Lo! he is in youre hondis, for it is not leueful that the kyng denye ony thing to you.
Wa Sedesyas reponn: -Bon! Fè sa nou vle avè l'. Mwen pa ka di nou anyen.
6 Therfor thei token Jeremye, and castiden hym doun in to the lake of Elchie, sone of Amalech, which was in the porche of the prisoun; and thei senten doun Jeremye bi cordis in to the lake, wherynne was no watir, but fen; therfor Jeremye yede doun in to the filthe.
Se konsa, te gen yon gwo pi nan lakou palè a ki te pou Malkija, pitit gason wa a. Yo pran Jeremi, yo desann li nan fon sitèn lan avèk kòd. Pa t' gen dlo ladan l', men te gen anpil labou. Jeremi antre nan labou a.
7 Forsothe Abdemalech Ethiopien, a chast man and oneste, herde, that was in the kyngis hous, that thei hadden sent Jeremye in to the lake; sotheli the king sat in the yate of Beniamyn.
Lè sa a, te gen yon moun peyi Letiopi ki te rele Ebèdmelèk. Se te yon nèg konfyans ki t'ap travay lakay wa a. Li vin konnen yo te mete Jeremi nan sitèn lan. Jou sa a, wa a te chita ap rann jijman bò Pòtay Benjamen an.
8 And Abdemalech yede out of the kyngis hous, and spak to the kyng,
Ebèdmelèk soti nan palè a, li ale bò pòtay la, li di wa a konsa:
9 and seide, My lord the kyng, these men diden yuele alle thingis, what euer thingis thei diden ayens Jeremye, the profete, sendynge hym in to the lake, that he die there for hungur; for whi looues ben no more in the citee.
-Monwa, mèt mwen, sa mesye yo fè pwofèt Jeremi an pa bon non. Yo desann li nan fon sitèn lan kote, wè pa wè, l'ap mouri grangou, paske pa gen pen lavil la ankò.
10 Therfor the kyng comaundide to Abdemelech Ethiopien, and seide, Take with thee thretti men fro hennus, and reise thou Jeremye, the profete, fro the lake, bifor that he die.
Lè sa a, wa a bay Ebèdmelèk lòd pou li pran trant lòt moun avè l' pou li wete Jeremi nan sitèn lan anvan l' mouri.
11 Therfor whanne Abdemelech hadde take men with hym, he entride in to the hous of the kyng, that was vndur the celer; and he took fro thennus elde clothis, and elde ragges, that weren rotun; and he sente tho doun to Jeremye, in to the lake, bi cordis.
Se konsa Ebelmelèk pran moun yo avè l', li antre nan palè a, li ale yon kote ki anba pyès depo richès wa a, li pran yon bann moso twal chire ak vye rad, li mare yo nan kòd, li file yo desann bay Jeremi nan sitèn lan.
12 And Abdemelech Ethiopien seide to Jeremye, Putte thou elde clothis, and these to-rent and rotun thingis vndur the cubit of thin hondis, and on the cordis. Therfor Jeremye dide so.
Epi li di Jeremi konsa: -Mete moso twal yo ak vye rad yo anba zesèl ou pou kòd yo pa kòche ou. Jeremi fè sa vre.
13 And thei drowen out Jeremye with cordis, and ledden hym out of the lake. Forsothe Jeremye dwellide in the porche of the prisoun.
Epi yo rale l' moute soti nan sitèn lan avèk kòd yo. Apre sa, Jeremi rete nan lakou gad palè yo.
14 And kyng Sedechie sente, and took hym Jeremye, the profete, at the thridde dore that was in the hous of the Lord. And the kyng seide to Jeremye, Y axe of thee a word; hide thou not ony thing fro me.
Yon lòt fwa ankò, wa Sedesyas voye chache pwofèt Jeremi, li fè yo mennen l' ba li bò twazyèm pòt pou antre nan kay Seyè a. Wa a di l' konsa: -Mwen gen yon bagay m' bezwen mande ou. Reponn mwen kare, pa kache m' anyen.
15 Forsothe Jeremye seide to Sedechie, If Y telle to thee, whether thou schalt not sle me? And if Y yyue councel to thee, thou schalt not here me.
Jeremi reponn li: -Ala, si mwen pale ou kare, w'ap fè yo touye m'. Si m' ba ou yon konsèy, ou p'ap koute m'.
16 Therfor Sedechie the king swoor to Jeremye priueli, and seide, The Lord lyueth, that maad to vs this soule, Y schal not sle thee, and Y schal not bitake thee in to the hondis of these men, that seken thi lijf.
Wa Sedesyas rele Jeremi sou kote, li fè l' sèman. Li di l' konsa: -Mwen pran Bondye vivan an, Bondye ki ban nou lavi a, pou temwen, mwen p'ap fè touye ou, ni mwen p'ap lage ou nan men moun ki vle touye ou yo.
17 And Jeremye seide to Sedechie, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, If thou goest forth, and goest out to the princes of the kyng of Babiloyne, thi soule schal lyue, and this citee schal not be brent with fier, and thou schalt be saaf, thou and thin hous.
Lè sa a, Jeremi di Sedesyas konsa: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Si ou al rann tèt ou bay chèf wa Babilòn lan, yo p'ap touye ou. Yo p'ap boule lavil la. Yo p'ap touye ni ou menm, ni fanmi ou.
18 Forsothe if thou goest not out to the princes of the kyng of Babiloyne, this citee schal be bitakun in to the hondis of Caldeis; and thei schulen brenne it with fier, and thou schalt not ascape fro the hond of hem.
Men, si ou pa al rann tèt ou bay chèf yo, lavil la pral tonbe nan men moun Babilòn yo, y'ap boule l'. Lèfini, ou p'ap ka chape anba men yo.
19 And kyng Sedechie seide to Jeremye, Y am angwischid for the Jewis that fledden ouer to Caldeis, lest perauenture Y be bitakun in to the hondis of hem, and thei scorne me.
Wa Sedesyas reponn: -Ou konnen sa m' pè? Se moun peyi Jida yo ki deja al rann tèt yo bay moun Babilòn yo. Mwen pè pou moun Babilòn yo pa lage m' nan men yo pou yo maltrete m'.
20 Forsothe Jeremye answeride, and seide to hym, Thei schulen not bitake thee; Y biseche, here thou the vois of the Lord, which Y schal speke to thee, and it schal be wel to thee, and thi soule schal lyue.
Jeremi di l' konsa: -Moun Babilòn yo p'ap fè ou sa. Koute mesaj Seyè a ba ou nan sa mwen di ou la a, pou tout bagay pase byen pou ou. Konsa ou p'ap mouri.
21 That if thou wolt not go out, this is the word which the Lord schewide to me, Lo!
Si ou derefize al rann tèt ou, men sa ki pral rive ou, dapre sa Seyè a fè m' wè:
22 alle the wymmen, that weren left in the hous of the kyng of Juda, schulen be led out to the princes of the kyng of Babiloyne; and tho wymmen schulen seie, Thi pesible men disseyueden thee, and hadden the maistrye ayens thee; thei drenchiden thee in filthe, and thi feet in slidirnesse, and yeden awei fro thee.
Yo pral pran tout fanm ki rete nan palè wa Jida a, y'ap mennen yo bay chèf wa Babilòn lan. Medam yo pral di: Moun ki te pi bon zanmi wa a pran tèt li, yo fè l' fè sa yo vle. Koulye a, bra msye pran n'a pèlen. Yo kouri kite l' pou kont li.
23 And alle thi wyues and thi sones schulen be led out to Caldeis, and thou schalt not ascape the hondis of hem; but thou schalt be bitakun in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal brenne this citee bi fier.
Yo pral pran tout madanm ou yo, tout pitit ou yo, y'ap mennen yo bay moun Babilòn yo. Ou menm, ou p'ap chape anba men yo. Wa Babilòn lan ap fè ou prizonye, lèfini l'ap fè mete dife nan lavil sa a.
24 Therfore Sedechie seide to Jeremye, No man wite these wordis, and thou schalt not die.
Sedesyas di Jeremi konsa: -Pa kite pesonn konnen tout pawòl sa yo. Konsa ou p'ap mouri.
25 Sotheli if the princes heren, that Y spak with thee, and comen to thee, and seien to thee, Schewe thou to vs what thou spakest with the kyng, hide thou not fro vs, and we schulen not sle thee; and what the kyng spak with thee,
Si chèf yo rive konnen mwen te pale avè ou, y'ap vin jwenn ou, y'ap mande ou sa ou te di m' ak sa m' te reponn ou. Y'ap pwomèt yo p'ap touye ou si ou pa kache yo anyen.
26 thou schalt seie to hem, Knelyngli Y puttide forth my preiris bifore the kyng, that he schulde not comaunde me to be led ayen in to the hous of Jonathan, and Y schulde die there.
Lè sa a, w'a reponn yo: Se mande mwen t'ap mande wa a, tanpri souple, pou l' pa voye m' tounen nan prizon lakay Jonatan pou m' pa mouri la.
27 Therfor alle the princes camen to Jeremye, and axiden hym; and he spak to hem bi alle the wordis whiche the kyng hadde comaundid to hym, and thei ceessiden fro hym; for whi no thing was herd.
Tout chèf yo vini jwenn Jeremi vre. Yo mande l' yon bann pawòl. Jeremi reponn yo jan wa a te di l' la. Pa t' gen anyen chèf yo te ka fè paske pesonn pa t' tande koze Jeremi te gen ak wa a.
28 Therfor Jeremye dwellide in the porche of the prisoun, til to the dai wherynne Jerusalem was takun; and it was don, that Jerusalem schulde be takun.
Jeremi rete nan lakou gad palè yo jouk jou yo pran lavil Jerizalèm.
