Jeremiah 43

1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremias had made an end of speaking to the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words:

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——

2 Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremias: Thou tellest a lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell there.

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’.

3 But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us to be carried away captives to Babylon.

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.”

4 So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda.

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.

5 But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda:

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—

6 Men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.

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.

7 And they went Into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis.

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

8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnis, saying:

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

9 Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao’s house in Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda.

“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.

10 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, and he shall set his throne over them.

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.

11 And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: such as are for death, to death: and such as are for captivity, to captivity: and such as are for the sword, to the sword.

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.

12 And he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

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.

13 And he shall break the statues of the house of the sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.

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.”’”
