Jeremi 43

1 Lè Jeremi fin di pèp la tou sa Seyè a, Bondye yo a, te voye l' di yo, ki vle di tout pawòl ki ekri pi wo a,

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:

2 Azarya, pitit Ochaya a, Jokanan, pitit Kareyak la, ansanm ak tout lòt mesye awogan yo di Jeremi konsa: -Manti! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa kras voye ou di nou pa desann al rete nan peyi Lejip.

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.

3 Se Bawouk, pitit Nerija a, k'ap moute tèt ou sou nou. Li ta renmen lage nou nan men moun Babilòn yo pou yo touye nou, pou yo depòte nou lavil Babilòn.

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.

4 Se konsa, Jokanan, pitit Kareyak la, lòt chèf lame yo ansanm ak tout rès pèp la derefize koute pawòl Seyè a ki te di yo pou yo rete nan peyi Jida a.

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.

5 Lè sa a, Jokanan ak tout lòt chèf lame yo pran dènye moun ki te rete nan peyi Jida a, yo pati. Yo mennen tout moun ki te kite lòt peyi kote yo te gaye yo pou tounen vin viv nan peyi Jida a,

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:

6 fanm kou gason, tout timoun yo, tout pitit fi wa a. Yo mennen tout moun Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te kite avèk Gedalya, pitit Akikam, pitit pitit Chafan. Yo pran pwofèt Jeremi ansanm ak Bawouk, pitit Nerija a, avèk yo tou.

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.

7 Yo pa koute lòd Seyè a, yo rive jouk lavil Tapanès.

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

8 Antan yo te lavil Tapanès, Seyè a pale ak Jeremi, li di l' konsa:

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

9 -Pran kèk gwo wòch, antere yo nan mòtye pave ki devan pòt pou antre kay farawon an, lavil Tapanès. W'a fè l' pou moun peyi Jida yo wè ou ap fè l'.

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.

10 Lèfini, w'a di yo: men mesaj Seyè ki gen pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay: Mwen pral voye chache sèvitè m' lan, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, mwen pral enstale fotèy li a nan anplasman kote wòch yo antere isit la. Se la l'a moute tant li a anwo yo.

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.

11 Lè l'a rive, l'ap kraze peyi Lejip. Moun ki pou mouri anba move maladi va mouri, moun yo gen pou depòte yo, y'a depòte yo, moun pou l' fè touye yo, l'a fè touye yo.

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.

12 L'a mete dife nan kay tout bondye moun peyi Lejip yo. L'ap boule bondye moun Lejip yo osinon l'a pran yo, l'a pote yo ale avè l'. Menm jan yon gadò mouton netwaye dènye vèmen ki nan rad li, konsa tou wa a pral piye peyi Lejip la kite l' blanch. Lèfini, l'ap vire do l' san pesonn pa di l' anyen.

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.

13 L'ap kraze tout gwo moniman wòch lavil Eliopolis nan peyi Lejip, l'ap boule tout kay zidòl peyi Lejip yo.

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.
