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, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto the whole people all the words of the Lord their God, with which the Lord their God had sent him to them, [namely, ] 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.

That then spoke 'Azaryah the son of Hosha'yah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the presumptuous men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Ye shall not go into Egypt to sojourn 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 Neriyah setteth thee on against us, in order to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, or carry us away as exiles 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 Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies, and all the people, hearkened not to the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Judah.

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 Jochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the armies, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all the nations, whither they had been driven, to sojourn in the land of Judah;

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.

The men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriyah;

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

And they entered into the land of Egypt; for they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord; and they came as far as Thachpanches.

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

Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Thachpanches, 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 hide them in the mortar in the brick-kiln which is at the entrance of Pharaoh's house in Thachpanches, before the eyes of the Jewish men;

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 unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden; and he shall spread his royal pavilion 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 smite the land of Egypt: such as are destined for death shall be given to death; and such as are destined for captivity, to captivity; and such as are destined 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 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive: and he shall wrap around him the land of Egypt, as a shepherd wrappeth his garment around him; and he shall go forth from there 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 Bethshemesh, which is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
