Jeremiah 34
1 The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord (when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and all his hoste, and all the kingdomes of the earth, that were vnder the power of his hand, and all people fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cites thereof) saying,
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a, lè Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, ak tout lame li a, ak tout wayòm latè ki te anba pouvwa l yo ak tout pèp yo, t ap goumen kont Jérusalem e kont tout vil li yo, ki te di:
2 Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Goe, and speake to Zedekiah King of Iudah, and tell him, Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the hand of the King of Babel, and he shall burne it with fire,
Konsa pale SENYÈ Bondye Israël la: “Ale pale a Sédécias, wa Juda a, epi di li: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, Mwen ap bay vil sa a pou antre nan men a wa Babylone nan, e li va brile li ak dife.
3 And thou shall not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and deliuered into his hand, and thine eyes shall beholde the face of the King of Babel, and he shall speake with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babel.
Ou p ap chape nan men l, paske anverite, ou va kapte e va livre nan men l. Konsa, zye ou va wè wa Babylone nan. Li va pale avèk ou fasafas. Se nan Babylone ou prale.”’”
4 Yet heare the worde of the Lord, O Zedekiah, King of Iudah: thus sayth the Lord of thee, Thou shalt not dye by the sword,
“Sepandan, tande pawòl SENYÈ a, O Sédécias, wa Juda a. Konsa pale SENYÈ a konsènan ou menm, ‘Ou p ap mouri pa nepe.
5 But thou shalt die in peace: and according to the burning for thy fathers the former Kings which were before thee, so shall they burne odours for thee, and they shall lament thee, saying, Oh lorde: for I haue pronounced the worde, sayth the Lord.
Ou va mouri anpè. Tankou epis yo te brile pou antèman papa zansèt ou yo, ansyen wa ki te avan ou yo, se konsa yo va brile epis pou ou. Yo va fè kri dèy pou ou: “Anmwey mèt nou an”, paske se Mwen ki bay mo sa a’ deklare SENYÈ a.”
6 Then Ieremiah the Prophet spake all these words vnto Zedekiah King of Iudah in Ierusalem,
Epi Jérémie te pale tout pawòl sila yo a Sédécias, wa Juda nan Jérusalem
7 (When the King of Babels hoste fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cities of Iudah, that were left, euen against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these strong cities remained of the cities of Iudah)
lè lame a wa Babylone nan te goumen kont Jérusalem e kont tout rès vil Juda yo; konsi, Lakis ak Azéka, paske se sèl yo ki te rete kon vil fòtifye pami vil a Juda yo.
8 This is the worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, after that the King Zedekiah had made a couenant with all the people, which were at Ierusalem, to proclaime libertie vnto them,
Pawòl ki te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a apre Wa Sédécias te fin fè yon antant ak tout moun ki te Jérusalem yo pou libere yo:
9 That euery man should let his seruant go free, and euery man his handmayde, which was an Ebrue or an Ebruesse, and that none should serue himselfe of them, to wit, of a Iewe his brother.
pou chak moun ta bay libète a sèvitè li e chak moun a sèvant li, yon gason Ebre oswa yon fanm Ebre; pou pèsòn pa ta kenbe yo, yon Jwif frè parèy yo, nan esklavaj.
10 Now when all the princes, and all the people which had agreed to the couenant, heard that euery one should let his seruant go free, and euery one his handmaide, and that none should serue them selues of them any more, they obeyed and let them go.
Epi tout ofisye yo ak tout pèp la te obeyi a sila ki te antre nan akò a, ke chan moun ta libere sèvitè ak sèvant li yo, pou okenn moun pa ta kenbe yo an esklavaj. Yo te obeyi e te bay yo libète.
11 But afterwarde they repented and caused the seruants and the handmayds, whom they had let go free, to returne, and helde them in subiection as seruants and handmayds.
Men apre yo te fin vire, yo te reprann sèvitè ak sèvant ke yo te bay libète yo, e te fè yo soumèt ankò nan wòl sèvitè ak sèvant yo.
12 Therefore the worde of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a. Li te di:
13 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I made a couenant with your fathers, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of seruants, saying,
Konsa pale SENYÈ Bondye Israël la: Mwen te fè yon akò ak papa zansèt nou yo nan jou ke M te mennen yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la, soti nan kay esklavaj la. Mwen te di:
14 At the terme of seuen yeres let ye go, euery man his brother an Ebrewe which hath bene solde vnto thee: and when he hath serued the sixe yeres, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers obeyed me not, neither inclined their eares.
Nan fen sèt ane yo, nou chak va libere frè Ebre ki te vann a li menm nan, e ki te sèvi nou pandan sis ane yo. Yo va voye li lib de nou menm. Men papa zansèt nou yo pa t obeyi Mwen, ni pa t panche zòrèy yo kote Mwen.
15 And ye were nowe turned, and had done right in my sight in proclayming libertie, euery man to his neighbour, and ye had made a couenant before mee in the house, whereupon my Name is called.
Malgre sa, nan tan sa a, nou te vire fè sa ki dwat nan zye M, chak moun te pwoklame libète a vwazen li e nou te fè yon akò avèk Mwen nan kay ki rele pa non Mwen an.
16 But ye repented, and polluted my Name: for ye haue caused euery man his seruant, and euery man his handmayde, whom ye had set at libertie at their pleasure, to returne, and holde them in subiection to bee vnto you as seruantes and as handmaydes.
Men koulye a, nou te vire derespekte non Mwen, chak moun te reprann sèvitè ak sèvant ke nou te libere selon dezi yo, e nou te fè yo vin soumèt pou devni ankò sèvitè ak sèvant nou.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Ye haue not obeyed mee, in proclayming freedome euery man to his brother, and euery man to his neighbour: beholde, I proclaime a libertie for you, saith the Lord, to the sworde, to the pestilence, and to the famine, and I will make you a terrour to all the kingdomes of the earth.
Akoz sa, pale SENYÈ a: “Nou pa t obeyi Mwen nan pwoklame libète chak mesye a frè li, e chak mesye a vwazen li, gade byen, Mwen ap pwoklame libète pou nou,” deklare SENYÈ a: “pou nepe a, pou envazyon ensèk ak maladi, pou gwo grangou. Konsa, Mwen va fè nou vin yon objè lèd e degoutan pou tout wayòm yo sou latè yo.
18 And I will giue those men that haue broken my couenant, and haue not kept the wordes of the couenant, which they had made before me, when they cut the calfe in twaine, and passed betweene the partes thereof:
Mwen va bay mesye ki te transgrese akò Mwen yo, ki pa t akonpli pawòl a akò ke yo te fè devan M, lè yo te koupe jenn bèf lan an de mòso pou te pase nan mitan de pati li yo—
19 The princes of Iudah, and the princes of Ierusalem, the Eunuches, and the Priestes, and all the people of the lande, which passed betweene the partes of the calfe,
Ofisyèl a Juda yo, ak ofisyèl a Jérusalem yo, ofisye tribinal la e prèt ak tout pèp peyi ki te pase antre de pati jenn bèf la—
20 I wil euen giue them into the hand of their enemies, and into the handes of them that seeke their life: and their dead bodies shalbe for meate vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the earth.
Mwen va livre yo nan men a lènmi yo, e nan men a sila k ap chache pran lavi yo. Epi kadav yo va sèvi kon manje pou zwazo syèl yo, ak bèt sovaj latè yo.
21 And Zedekiah King of Iudah, and his princes will I giue into the hand of their enemies, and into the hande of them that seeke their life, and into the hande of the King of Babels hoste, which are gone vp from you.
“Sédécias, wa Juda a, ak ofisye pa l yo, Mwen va livre yo nan men lènmi pa yo, nan men a sila k ap chache lavi yo ak nan men a lame Babylone ki te ale kite nou an.
22 Beholde, I will commande, saith the Lord, and cause them to returne to this citie, and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burne it with fire: and I will make the cities of Iudah desolate without an inhabitant.
Gade byen, Mwen va pase lòd”, deklare SENYÈ a: “Epi Mwen va mennen yo retounen nan vil sa a. Konsa, yo va goumen kont li, pran li e brile li ak dife, epi Mwen va fè lavil Juda yo vin yon kote dezète san moun ki rete ladan yo.”
