< Jeremi 26 >

1 Lè sa a, Jojakim, pitit Jozyas la, te fèk moute wa nan peyi Jida. Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,
2 Men sa Seyè a di l': -Ale kanpe nan lakou tanp lan. Ou pral di tou sa mwen te ba ou lòd di sou moun ki soti nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo pou vin adore nan Kay Seyè a. Pa wete anyen.
Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them; diminish not a word:
3 Ou pa janm konnen, yo ka koute ou, yo ka pran desizyon yonn apre lòt pou yo kite move jan y'ap viv la. Mwen fè lide voye malè sou yo pou tou sa yo te fè ki mal. Men, si yo koute ou, m'a chanje lide.
It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent of the evil, which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
4 Konsa, w'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè a bay: Koute m', swiv lòd mwen mete devan nou.
And thou shalt say to them, Thus saith the LORD, If ye will not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 Louvri zòrèy nou tande mesaj pwofèt yo, sèvitè m' yo. Se mwen menm ki pa janm sispann voye yo ban nou, men nou pa vle koute yo.
To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I have sent to you, both rising early, and sending [them], but ye have not hearkened;
6 Si nou pa koute yo, m'ap kraze tanp sa a menm jan mwen te detwi kote yo te mete apa pou mwen lavil Silo a. Nan tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè, y'a pran non lavil sa a pou bay madichon.
Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
7 Prèt yo, pwofèt yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te la yo tande Jeremi ap bay mesaj sa a nan lakou Tanp lan.
So the priests and the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
8 Fini Jeremi fin bay mesaj Seyè a te ba li lòd bay pèp la, prèt yo, pwofèt yo ansanm ak tout moun ki te la yo mete men sou li. Yo pran rele: -Se pou yo touye ou pou sa ou sot di la a!
Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded [him] to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
9 Poukisa ou pran non Seyè a pou ou di li pral kraze tanp sa a menm jan li te detwi kote yo te mete apa pou li lavil Silo a, li pral fè lavil la tounen mazi, san pesonn ladan l'? Tout pèp la sanble bò kot Jeremi nan Tanp Seyè a.
Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah, in the house of the LORD.
10 Lè chèf Jida yo vin konnen sa ki t'ap pase, yo kite palè wa a, yo kouri al nan tanp lan, y' al chita nan plas yo bò Pòtay Nèf la.
When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S [house].
11 Prèt yo ak pwofèt yo pale ak chèf yo ansanm ak pèp la, yo di: -Nonm sa a merite pou yo touye l' paske li pale lavil Jerizalèm lan mal. Nou tout la a, nou tande l' ak pwòp zòrèy nou.
Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying, This man [is] worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
12 Lè sa a, Jeremi pale ak tout gwo chèf yo ansanm ak pèp la. Li di: -Se Seyè a ki voye m' pou m' fè nou konnen tou sa nou sot tande m' di la a sou Tanp lan ak sou lavil la.
Then Jeremiah spoke to all the princes, and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
13 Koulye a, se pou nou chanje jan n'ap viv la, sispann fè sa ki mal. Koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap di nou. Lè sa a, l'a chanje lide, li p'ap voye malè li te di l'ap voye sou nou an.
Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
14 Mwen menm, mwen nan men nou. Fè sa nou vle avè m', sa nou kwè nou dwe fè a.
As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand: do with me as it seemeth good and meet to you.
15 Tansèlman, si nou touye m', konnen se lanmò yon inonsan n'ap gen ni sou konsyans nou, ni sou konsyans moun ki rete nan lavil la. Paske, sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi, se Seyè a menm ki voye m' pou m' fè nou tande tout pawòl sa yo.
But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye will surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, upon this city, and upon its inhabitants: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
16 Lè sa a, gwo chèf yo ak tout pèp la pale ak prèt yo ansanm ak pwofèt yo. Yo di yo: -Pa gen anyen la a pou n' touye nonm sa a. Paske se nan non Seyè a, Bondye nou an, li pale ak nou.
Then said the princes and all the people to the priests and to the prophets; This man [is] not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.
17 Apre sa, kèk chèf fanmi kanpe epi yo di moun ki te sanble yo:
Then arose certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 -Sou rèy Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, pwofèt Miche, moun lavil Morechèt la, te bay tout pèp peyi Jida a mesaj sa a: Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di: N'ap lakòz peyi Siyon an pral tankou yon jaden y'ap raboure. Jerizalèm ap tounen yon mazi. Gwo rakbwa pral kouvri tout mòn kote tanp lan ye a.
Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
19 Lè sa a, èske wa Ezekyas ak pèp peyi Jida a te fè touye pwofèt Miche? Non, yo fè wè jan yo te gen krentif Seyè a, yo mande l' pou l' gen pitye pou yo. Se konsa Seyè a chanje lide, li pa voye malè li te di l'ap voye sou yo a. Koulye a, nou soti pou nou rale yon gwo malè sou nou si nou fè nonm sa a anyen.
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? did he not fear the LORD, and beseech the LORD, and the LORD repented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
20 Te gen yon lòt nonm yo te rele Ouri ki t'ap pale nan non Bondye. Se te pitit Chemaya, moun lavil Kiriyat Jearim. Li menm tou, tankou Jeremi, li t'ap pale nan non Bondye sou lavil Jerizalèm ak sou peyi Jida.
And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath-jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
21 Lè wa Jojakim, gad li yo ansanm ak tout chèf li yo tande sa li t'ap di, wa a t'ap chache yon jan pou touye li. Ouri vin konn sa, li pè, li kouri al kache nan peyi Lejip.
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
22 Se konsa, wa Jojakim voye Elnatan, pitit Akbò, ansanm ak kèk lòt gason nan peyi Lejip al chache msye.
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely], Elnathan the son of Achbor, and [certain] men with him into Egypt.
23 Yo pran Ouri nan peyi Lejip, yo mennen l' bay wa a. Wa a fè yo touye l'. Lèfini, yo jete kadav li nan gwo fòs endijan yo.
And they brought forth Urijah from Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
24 Men, Akikam, pitit Chafan an, t'ap pwoteje Jeremi. Se konsa li pa t' kite yo lage Jeremi nan men pèp la pou yo te touye l'.
Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
