Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Ieremiah, concerning all the people of Iudah in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah that was in the first yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel:
Seyè a te bay Jeremi yon mesaj sou pèp peyi Jida a, nan katriyèm lanne rèy wa Jojakim, pitit Jozyas, nan peyi Jida. Lè sa a, Nèbikadneza te nan premye lanne li depi li te wa peyi Babilòn.
2 The which Ieremiah the Prophet spake vnto all the people of Iudah, and to all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying,
Men mesaj pwofèt Jeremi te bay tout pèp peyi Jida a ak tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo:
3 From the thirteenth yeere of Iosiah the sonne of Amon King of Iudah, euen vnto this day (that is the three and twentieth yeere) the word of the Lord hath come vnto mee, and I haue spoken vnto you rising earely and speaking, but ye woulde not heare.
-Depi trèzyèm lanne rèy wa Jozyas, pitit Amon, nan peyi Jida rive jòdi a, sa fè venntwazan depi Seyè a ap pale avè m', venntwazan depi m'ap pale ak nou san rete, nou pa vle koute m'.
4 And the Lord hath sent vnto you all his seruantes the Prophets, rising early and sending them, but yee would not heare, nor encline your eares to obey.
Seyè a pa janm sispann voye pwofèt li yo, sèvitè l' yo, ban nou. Men nou pa vle koute yo, nou derefize louvri zòrèy nou pou nou tande yo.
5 They sayde, Turne againe now euery one from his euill way, and from the wickednes of your inuentions, and ye shall dwell in the lande that the Lord hath giuen vnto you, and to your fathers for euer and euer.
Yo te di nou pou nou manyè kite vye chemen nou t'ap swiv yo, pou nou manyè sispann fè sa ki mal. Konsa, nou ta ka viv toujou nan peyi Seyè a te ban nou an, peyi li te bay zansèt nou yo pou tout tan tout tan an.
6 And go not after other gods to serue them and to worshippe them, and prouoke me not to anger with the workes of your hands, and I will not punish you.
Pwofèt yo di nou: Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye, pa fè sèvis pou yo, pa mete ajenou devan yo. Pa sèvi zidòl nou fè ak men nou pou Seyè a pa fache. Konsa, si nou obeyi Seyè a li p'ap pini nou.
7 Neuerthelesse ye would not heare me, saith the Lord, but haue prouoked mee to anger with the workes of your hands to your owne hurt.
Men, se Seyè a menm ki di sa, nou derefize koute l'. Nou fè l' fache ak zidòl nou fè ak men nou. Se konsa nou rale malè sou tèt nou.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, Because ye haue not heard my wordes,
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: Paske nou pa koute m' lè m' pale nou,
9 Beholde, I will send and take to mee all the families of the North, saith the Lord, and Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel my seruant, and will bring them against this lande, and against the inhabitantes thereof, and against all these nations rounde about, and will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and an hissing, and a continuall desolation.
mwen pral voye chache tout moun ki bò nò yo ansanm ak sèvitè m' lan, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Mwen pral fè yo vin kraze peyi Jida a ak tout moun ki rete ladan l' yo ansanm ak tout peyi nan vwazinaj yo. Mwen pral detwi yo tout. M'ap fè yo tounen yon dezè ki va fè moun sezi, yon pil mazi pou tout tan.
10 Moreouer I will take from them the voyce of mirth and the voyce of gladnesse, the voyce of the bridegrome and the voyce of the bride, the noise of the milstones, and the light of the candle.
M'ap fè yo p'ap tande moun ap pran plezi yo la. Yo p'ap tande vwa moun ki gen kè kontan. Yo p'ap tande yo fè fèt pou moun k'ap marye. M'ap fè p'ap gen grenn pou moulen, p'ap gen lwil pou mete nan lanp.
11 And this whole land shalbe desolate, and an astonishment, and these nations shall serue the King of Babel seuentie yeeres.
Tout peyi a pral kraze tounen mazi, yon dezè. Nasyon ki nan vwazinaj yo pral sèvi wa Babilòn lan pandan swasanndizan.
12 And when the seuentie yeres are accomplished, I will visite the King of Babel and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquities, euen the land of the Caldeans, and will make it a perpetuall desolation,
Apre swasanndizan sa yo, m'a pini wa Babilòn lan ansanm ak pèp li a pou peche yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. M'ap detwi peyi moun Kalde yo, m'ap fè l' tounen mazi pou tout tan.
13 And I will bring vpon that lande all my wordes which I haue pronounced against it, euen all that is written in this booke, which Ieremiah hath prophecied against all nations.
M'ap voye sou peyi Babilòn lan tout malè mwen te di m'ap voye yo, tou sa pwofèt Jeremi te fè konnen nan non mwen sou nasyon yo, jan sa ekri nan liv sa a.
14 For many nations, and great Kings shall euen serue themselues of them: thus will I recompense them according to their deedes, and according to the workes of their owne handes.
Yo menm tou moun Babilòn yo, anpil lòt nasyon ak gran wa va fè yo tounen esklav. M'ap fè yo peye pou tou sa yo fè.
15 For thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken vnto me, Take the cuppe of wine of this mine indignation at mine hand, and cause all the nations, to whome I sende thee, to drinke it.
Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di m': -Men yon gode plen diven kòlè Bondye nan men m'. Pran li, pote l' bay tout moun nan peyi kote m'ap voye ou yo pou yo bwè.
16 And they shall drinke, and be moued and be mad, because of the sworde that I will sende among them.
Y'a bwè, pye yo ap trese, y'a pèdi tèt yo lè y'a wè lagè m'ap voye nan mitan yo.
17 Then tooke I the cup at the Lordes hand, and made all people to drinke, vnto whome the Lord had sent me:
Se konsa, mwen pran gode a nan men Seyè a, mwen pote l' bay tout moun nan tout peyi kote Seyè a te voye m' lan, mwen fè yo bwè ladan l'.
18 Euen Ierusalem, and the cities of Iudah, and the Kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them desolate, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse, as appeareth this day:
Mwen fè moun lavil Jerizalèm ak moun lavil Jida yo bwè ladan l' ansanm ak wa yo, chèf yo, pou lavil yo ka tounen mazi, yon dezè pou moun mete men nan tèt lè yo wè sa, pou moun sèvi ak non yo pou bay madichon, jan y'ap fè l' jouk koulye a.
19 Pharaoh also, King of Egypt, and his seruants, and his princes, and all his people:
Men moun mwen fè bwè nan gode a tou: Farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ansanm ak sòlda li yo, chèf li yo ak tout pèp li a,
20 And all sortes of people, and all the Kings of the lande of Vz: and all the Kings of the lande of the Philistims, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod:
tout ras moun ki rete bò solèy kouche yo ansanm ak tout wa peyi Ouz yo, tout wa nan peyi Filisti yo: wa lavil Askalon, wa lavil Gaza, wa lavil Ekwon, wa ki rete nan lavil Asdòd,
21 Edom, and Moab, and the Ammonites,
moun peyi Edon, moun peyi Moab ak moun Amon yo,
22 And all the Kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the Kings of the Yles, that are beyonde the Sea,
tout wa peyi Tir yo, wa peyi Sidon ak wa tout peyi ki lòt bò lanmè Mediterane a,
23 And Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that dwell in the vttermost corners,
moun lavil Dedan, moun lavil Teman ak moun lavil Bouz, ansanm ak tout moun ki koupe cheve nan tèt yo kout,
24 And all the Kings of Arabia, and all the Kings of Arabia, that dwell in the desert,
tout wa peyi Arabi yo, tout wa ki rete nan dezè bò solèy kouche a,
25 And all the Kings of Zimri, and all the Kings of Elam, and all the Kings of the Medes,
tout wa Zimri yo, tout wa Elam yo ak tout wa Medi yo,
26 And all the Kings of the North, farre and neere one to another, and all the kingdomes of the worlde, which are vpon the earth, and the king of Sheshach shall drinke after them.
tout wa ki sou bò nò yo, sa ki lwen yo ak sa ki pre yo, yonn apre lòt. Tout nasyon ki sou latè gen pou bwè ladan l'. Apre yo tout, se va tou pa wa lavil Babilòn lan pou l' bwè ladan l' tou.
27 Therefore say thou vnto them, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Drinke and bee drunken, and spewe and fall, and rise no more, because of the sworde, which I will sende among you.
Apre sa, Seyè a di m' konsa: W'a di yo men lòd Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la bay. Se pou yo bwè pou yo sou, jouk yo vonmi. Y'a tonbe, yo p'ap ka leve lè y'a wè lagè m'ap voye sou yo a.
28 But if they refuse to take the cuppe at thine hande to drinke, then tell them, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Ye shall certainely drinke.
Si yo ta rive refize pran gode a nan men ou pou yo pa bwè ladan l', w'a di yo: Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di wè pa wè se pou yo bwè l'.
29 For loe, I beginne to plague the citie, where my Name is called vpon, and shoulde you goe free? Ye shall not goe quite: for I will call for a sword vpon al the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hostes.
Premye kote m'ap konmanse fè malè, se va lavil yo mete apa pou mwen an. Atò, se nou menm ki pou pa ta resevwa pinisyon nou? Non, nou p'ap chape, paske mwen pral voye lagè sou tout moun sou latè. Se mwen menm, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, ki di sa.
30 Therefore prophecie thou against them al these words, and say vnto them, The Lord shall roare from aboue, and thrust out his voyce from his holy habitation: he shall roare vpon his habitation, and crie aloude, as they that presse the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Ou menm, Jeremi, se pou ou fè yo konnen tou sa mwen di ou. W'a di yo: -Seyè a rete anwo nan syèl la, l'ap gwonde. Li rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, l'ap pale byen fò. L'ap gwonde anwo pèp li a. L'ap rele tankou moun k'ap kraze rezen. Li move sou tout moun ki rete sou latè.
31 The sounde shall come to the endes of the earth: for the Lord hath a controuersie with the nations, and will enter into iudgement with all flesh, and he will giue them that are wicked, to the sworde, saith the Lord.
Bri a rive nan zòrèy moun toupatou sou latè. Seyè a gen yon kont pou l' regle ak nasyon yo. Li rele yo tout nan tribinal. L'ap fè touye tout moun ki antò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
32 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Behold, a plague shall goe foorth from nation to nation, and a great whirlewinde shalbe raised vp from the coastes of the earth,
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: -Malè a pral tonbe sou nasyon yo yonn apre lòt, yon gwo van tanpèt ap moute soti nan bout latè.
33 And the slaine of the Lord shall be at that day, from one ende of the earth, euen vnto the other ende of the earth: they shall not bee mourned, neither gathered nor buried, but shalbe as the dongue vpon the grounde.
Jou sa a, depi yon bout latè rive lòt bout la, se va kadav moun Seyè a pral touye. P'ap gen pesonn pou kriye pou yo, pesonn pou ranmase yo atè a, pesonn pou antere yo. Kadav yo va tounen fimye atè a.
34 Howle, ye shepherdes, and crie, and wallowe your selues in the ashes, ye principall of the flocke: for your dayes of slaughter are accomplished, and of your dispersion, and ye shall fall like precious vessels.
Nou menm chèf ki reskonsab pèp la, rele anmwe, woule kò nou atè. Lè a rive pou yo koupe tèt nou. Yo pral gaye nou. Nou pral tonbe atè. Nou pral kraze tankou bèl potich ki koute chè.
35 And the flight shall faile from the shepherdes, and the escaping from the principall of the flocke.
P'ap gen kote pou chèf yo al kache. P'ap gen kote pou moun ki reskonsab pran swen pèp la ka ale pou yo jwenn pwoteksyon.
36 A voyce of the crye of the shepherdes, and an howling of the principall of the flocke shalbe heard: for the Lord hath destroyed their pasture.
Y'ap tande chèf yo ap rele, y'ap tande yo ap rele anmwe, paske Seyè a pral ravaje peyi yo.
37 And the best pastures are destroyed because of the wrath and indignation of the Lord.
Tout bèl peyi yo pral tounen mazi, paske Seyè a move anpil.
38 He hath forsaken his couert, as the lyon: for their land is waste, because of the wrath of the oppressor, and because of ye wrath of his indignatio.
Tankou yon lyon ki kouri kite twou li, tout moun ap mete deyò. Peyi a pral tounen yon dezè apre lagè san manman sa a, apre gwo kòlè Seyè a.
