Jeremiah 42

1 Then all the captaines of the hoste, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Iezaniah the sonne of Hoshaaiah, and all the people from the least vnto the most came,

Lè sa a, tout chèf lame yo ansanm ak Jokanan, pitit Kareja a, ak Jezanya, pitit Ochaya a ak tout moun yo, gran kou piti, y' al bò kot pwofèt Jeremi,

2 And saide vnto Ieremiah the Prophete, Heare our prayer, we beseeche thee, and pray for vs vnto the Lord thy God, euen for all this remnant (for we are left, but a fewe of many, as thine eyes doe beholde)

yo di l' konsa: -Tanpri, fè sa n'ap mande ou la a. Lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou nou. Lapriyè pou ti rès moun ki chape yo. Paske, jan ou ka wè l' la, nou te anpil, koulye a se yon ti ponyen moun nou ye.

3 That the Lord thy God may shewe vs the way wherein wee may walke, and the thing that we may doe.

Mande Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou l' fè nou konnen ki chimen pou n' pran, kisa pou n' fè.

4 Then Ieremiah the Prophet said vnto them, I haue heard you: behold, I will pray vnto ye Lord your God according to your wordes, and whatsoeuer thing the Lord shall answere you, I will declare it vnto you: I will keepe nothing backe from you.

Jeremi reponn yo: -Dakò. Mwen pral lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan nou mande m' lan. Apre sa, m'a fè nou konnen repons Seyè a ban nou. Mwen p'ap kache nou anyen.

5 Then they said to Ieremiah, The Lord be a witnesse of trueth, and faith betweene vs, if we doe not, euen according to all things for ye which the Lord thy God shall send thee to vs.

Yo di Jeremi konsa: -Si nou pa fè tou sa Seyè a, Bondye ou la, va di ou pou nou fè, se pou Seyè a kanpe pou l' akize nou. Lè sa a, l'a gen rezon l' nan pla men l'.

6 Whether it be good or euill, we will obey the voyce of the Lord God, to whom we sende thee that it may be well with vs, when wee obey the voyce of the Lord our God.

Se nou menm ki mande ou pou lapriyè Seyè a pou nou. Kit sa fè nou plezi, kit sa pa fè nou plezi, se pou nou koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va di nou. Konsa, tout bagay va mache byen pou nou, si nou koute l'.

7 And so after ten dayes came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah.

Dis jou apre, Seyè a bay Jeremi repons lan.

8 Then called he Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, which were with him, and all ye people from ye least to the most,

Jeremi rele Jokanan, pitit Karejak la, ak tout lòt chèf lame ki te avè l' yo ansanm ak tout pèp la, gran kou piti.

9 And saide vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, vnto whom ye sent me to present your prayers before him,

Li di yo: -Nou te voye m' al lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou m' te mande l' kichòy pou nou. Men repons li bay:

10 If ye will dwell in this land, then I wil build you, and not destroy you, and I will plant you, and not roote you out: for I repent me of the euill that I haue done vnto you.

Si nou vle rete nan peyi sa a, m'ap mete nou kanpe ankò. Mwen p'ap kraze nou. M'ap fè nou pran rasin ankò, mwen p'ap dechouke nou. Paske malè mwen te voye sou nou an ban m' gwo lapenn.

11 Feare not for the King of Babel, of whom ye are afraide: be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you from his hand,

Koulye a, nou pa bezwen tranble devan wa Babilòn lan. Nou pa bezwen pè l'. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap pale ak nou. Mwen la avèk nou pou sove nou, pou delivre nou anba men l'.

12 And I will graunt you mercie that he may haue compassion vpon you, and he shall cause you to dwell in your owne land.

Paske mwen gen bon kè, m'a fè l' gen pitye pou nou, l'a kite nou tounen lakay nou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither heare the voyce of the Lord your God,

Jeremi di yo ankò: -Si nou pa koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè nou konnen, si nou di: Non, nou p'ap rete nan peyi a!

14 Saying, Nay, but we will goe into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no warre, nor heare the sounde of the trumpet, nor haue hunger of bread, and there will we dwell,

Non! Se nan peyi Lejip nou pral viv, kote nou p'ap wè lagè, kote nou p'ap tande twonpèt k'ap bay siyal lagè a, kote nou p'ap soufri grangou. Se la pou n' al viv.

15 (And nowe therefore heare the worde of the Lord, ye remnant of Iudah: thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and goe to dwell there)

Enben, nou menm ti ponyen moun ki rete nan moun Jida yo, koute byen sa Seyè a di nou: Men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la bay: Si nou soti vre pou nou ale nan peyi Lejip, si nou desann nan peyi sa a pou nou rete,

16 Then the sworde that ye feared, shall take you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, for the which ye care, shall there hang vpon you in Egypt, and there shall ye die.

enben, lagè k'ap fè nou pè a ap rive jwenn nou jouk laba nan peyi Lejip la. Grangou k'ap ban nou tout tèt chaje sa yo pral swiv nou jouk laba a. N'ap mouri nan peyi Lejip.

17 And all the men that set their faces to enter into Egypt to dwell there, shall die by ye sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, and none of them shall remaine nor escape from the plague, that I will bring vpon them.

Tout moun ki soti vre pou y' ale nan peyi Lejip pou yo ka rete viv la pral mouri nan lagè, grangou pral touye yo, move maladi ap fini ak yo nèt. Lè sa a, nou yonn p'ap chape anba malè m'ap voye sou nou an.

18 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, As mine anger and my wrath hath bene powred foorth vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shall my wrath be powred foorth vpon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt, and ye shall be a detestation, and an astonishment, and a curse and a reproche, and ye shall see this place no more.

Wi! Men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay ankò: Menm jan mwen te move anpil sou moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, se menm jan an tou m'ap move anpil sou nou si nou desann peyi Lejip. Konsa, moun va sezi wè nou, y'a vire tèt yo pou yo pa gade nou. Y'a pase nou nan betiz, y'a sèvi ak non nou pou bay madichon. Nou p'ap janm wè peyi sa a ankò.

19 O ye remnant of Iudah, the Lord hath said concerning you, Goe not into Egypt: knowe certeinely that I haue admonished you this day.

Wi, men sa Seyè a voye fè nou konnen, nou menm ti ponyen ki rete nan peyi Jida a. Piga nou desann nan peyi Lejip. Mwen tou pale nou jòdi a.

20 Surely ye dissembled in your hearts When ye sent me vnto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for vs vnto the Lord our God, and declare vnto vs euen according vnto al that the Lord our God shall say, and we will doe it.

Se pi gwo erè nou te fè. Lè nou te mande m' al lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou, nou te di m': Lapriyè li pou nou. W'a fè nou konnen tou sa l'a di ou, epi n'a fè l'.

21 Therefore I haue this day declared it you, but you haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me vnto you.

Jòdi a, mwen fè nou konnen repons li, men nou pa vle koute anyen nan sa li voye m' di nou an.

22 Nowe therefore, knowe certeinely that ye shall die by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to goe and dwell.

Enben, konn sa byen, nou pral mouri nan lagè, grangou ap touye nou, move maladi ap fini ak nou nan peyi kote nou vle al rete a.
