Jeremi 28

1 Alò, nan menm ane a, nan kòmansman règn a Sédécias, wa Juda a, nan katriyèm ane, nan senkyèm mwa Hanania, fis a Azzur a, pwofèt ki te sòti nan Gabaon an, te pale ak mwen lakay SENYÈ a, nan prezans a prèt yo e a tout pèp yo. Li te di:

And it happened in that year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me, in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying:

2 “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la, ‘Mwen te kase jouk wa Babylone nan.

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.

3 Pandan dezan Mwen va fè rive nan plas sa a, tout veso lakay SENYÈ yo, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pran fè sòti nan plas sa a pou te pote Babylone yo.

There are still two years of days, and then I will cause to be carried back to this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, took from this place and carried away to Babylon.

4 Anplis, Mwen va mennen fè retounen nan plas sa a, Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan, wa a Juda a ak tout egzile Juda ki te ale Babylone yo,’ deklare SENYÈ a, ‘paske Mwen va kase fado a wa a Babylone nan.’”

And I will return to this place: Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and all those taken captive from Judah, who were brought into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will crush the yoke of the king of Babylon.”

5 Answit pwofèt Jérémie te pale ak pwofèt Hanania nan prezans a prèt yo, e nan prezans lan a tout moun ki te kanpe lakay SENYÈ yo,

And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet, before the eyes of the priests and before the eyes of all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord.

6 epi pwofèt Jérémie te di: “Amen! Ke SENYÈ a fè l konsa. Ke SENYÈ a kapab konfime pawòl ke ou te pale yo, pou fè mennen retounen veso lakay SENYÈ yo, e tout moun ki ekzile yo, sòti Babylone pou antre nan plas sa a.

And Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen, may the Lord accomplish this; may the Lord act upon your words, which you have prophesied, so that the vessels may be carried back to the house of the Lord, and so that all those taken captive may return from Babylon to this place.

7 Malgre sa, tande pawòl sa a ke m prèt pou pale nan tande pa w ak tande a tout pèp la!

Yet truly, listen to this word, which I am speaking to your ears and to the ears of all the people.

8 Pwofèt ki te avan mwen yo, e avan ou depi nan tan ansyen an, te pwofetize kont anpil peyi e kont gwo wayòm, pou lagè, pou kalamite ak envazyon ensèk ki ta ravaje peyi yo.

The prophets, who were before me and before you, from the beginning, have prophesied over many lands and over great kingdoms, about war, and about affliction, and about famine.

9 Pwofèt ki te pwofetize lapè a, lè pwofesi sa a vin rive; alò, pwofèt sa a va vin rekonèt kon yon pwofèt ke SENYÈ te vrèman voye.”

The prophet who has predicted peace, if his word will occur, then the prophet will be known as one whom the Lord has sent in truth.”

10 Alò Hanania, pwofèt la, te retire jouk la sou kou Jérémie e te kraze li.

And Hananiah the prophet took the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and he broke it.

11 Hanania te pale nan prezans a tout pèp la e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Menm konsa, avan dezan, Mwen va kase jouk Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, fè l sòti sou kou a tout nasyon yo.’” Alò, pwofèt Jérémie te al fè wout li.

And Hananiah spoke in the sight of all the people, saying: “Thus says the Lord: So shall I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, after two years of days, from the neck of all the people.”

12 Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie lè Hanania te fin kase jouk a sou kou pwofèt Jérémie an. Li te di:

And Jeremiah the prophet went his own way. And after Hananiah the prophet had broken the chain from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

13 “Ale pale ak Hanania e di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “Ou te kase jouk ki fèt an bwa yo, men ou fè rive olye de yo, jouk yo ki fèt an fè.”

“Go, and you shall say to Hananiah: Thus says the Lord: You have broken chains of wood, and so you will make for them chains of iron.

14 Paske konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Mwen te mete yon jouk fèt an fè sou kou a tout nasyon sila yo, pou yo ka sèvi Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan; epi yo va sèvi li. Anplis, Mwen te bay li bèt chan yo.”’”

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I have placed a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, so that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. Moreover, I have given to him even the beasts of the earth.”

15 Epi Jérémie, pwofèt la, te di a Hanania, pwofèt la: “Koute koulye a, Hanania, SENYÈ a pa t voye ou e ou te fè pèp sa a kwè nan yon manti.

And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, and so you have caused this people to trust in a lie.

16 Pou sa, se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou retire ou sou sifas tè a. Ane sa a, ou va mouri, akoz ou te konseye rebelyon kont SENYÈ a.’”

For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will send you away from the face of the earth. This year, you shall die. For you have spoken against the Lord.”

17 Se konsa Hanania, pwofèt la, te mouri nan menm ane sa a nan setyèm mwa a.

And Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.
