Jeremiah 31

Seyè a di ankò: -Lè sa a, m'ap Bondye tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la. Yo tout y'ap vin pèp pa mwen.

At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

Nan dezè a mwen te aji ak bon kè ak moun ki te chape anba lanmò nan lagè. Moun Izrayèl yo pral resi viv ak kè poze.

Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

Byen lwen, Seyè a te fè m' wè li. Li t'ap di: Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl, mwen p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Se poutèt sa m'ap toujou aji byen ak nou.

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Bèl pèp Izrayèl mwen sa a, m'ap rebati peyi nou an. Peyi nou an va kanpe ankò. Nou pral dekwoke tanbouren nou yo ankò. Nou pral danse ak kè kontan.

Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Nou pral plante rezen sou tout mòn Samari yo. Moun ki va plante se yo ki va rekòlte.

Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

Wi, lè sa a moun k'ap veye yo va rete sou mòn Efrayim yo, y'a rele byen fò: Annou wè! Ann moute mòn Siyon, bò kot Seyè a, Bondye nou an.

For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.

Seyè a di ankò: -Chante ak kè kontan pou pèp Izrayèl la! Pi gwo nasyon pase l' nanpwen. Fè yo tande jan n'ap chante pou Bondye. Seyè a delivre pèp li a. Li delivre sa ki te rete nan pèp Izrayèl la.

For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.

Wi, se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap mennen yo sot nan nò. M'ap ranmase yo nan dènye bout latè. Sa ki avèg, sa k'ap bwete, fanm ki ansent, fanm ki gen tranche, yo tout ap vin ansanm. Se yon foul moun k'ap tounen.

Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.

Sou tout wout la y'ap lapriyè, y'ap kriye de ran dlo, antan m'ap mennen yo tounen. M'ap fè yo pran yon wout plat kote yo p'ap bite, jouk yo rive bò sous dlo yo. Mwen tankou yon papa pou pèp Izrayèl la. Efrayim se premye pitit gason m'.

They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Seyè a di ankò: -Nou menm lòt nasyon yo, koute sa m'ap di: Mache fè konnen l' nan tout zile ki byen lwen yo. Di yo: Seyè a te gaye tout pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm ki pral sanble yo ankò. Mwen pral okipe yo, tankou gadò k'ap okipe mouton l'.

Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

Mwen libere moun fanmi Jakòb yo. Mwen delivre yo anba men yon nasyon ki te pi fò pase yo.

For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

Y'ap vini sou mòn Siyon an, y'ap chante tèlman y'ap kontan. Y'a kontan anpil pou tou sa Seyè a pral ba yo. L'ap ba yo ble, diven, lwil fre, mouton, kabrit, bèf. Y'ap tankou yon jaden byen wouze. Y'ap gen tou sa yo bezwen.

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

Jennfi yo va danse tèlman y'a kontan. Jennjan ansanm ak granmoun gason yo va kontan tou. M'ap wete lapenn nan kè yo, m'ap fè yo kontan. M'ap fè yo pran kouraj. Nan mitan chagren yo, m'ap fè yo kontan.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

M'ap fè prèt yo manje vyann gra kont kò yo. Pèp mwen an va jwenn tou sa yo bezwen nan tout bon bagay m'a ba yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.

Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Yo tande yon sèl rèl nan Rama. Yo tande kriye ak gwo anmwe. Se Rachèl k'ap kriye pou pitit li yo. Li pa vle kite pesonn konsole l' paske pitit li yo mouri.

Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Sispann rèl ou yo, Rachèl. Siye dlo nan je ou. Sa ou te fè pou pitit ou yo p'ap pèdi. Y'ap tounen soti nan peyi lènmi yo.

Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

Gen bèl espwa pou ou denmen. Pitit ou yo pral tounen nan peyi yo. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.

Mwen tande moun Izrayèl yo ap plenn. Y'ap di konsa: -Seyè, nou te tankou yon ti towo mawon. Men, ou donte nou, ou moutre nou jan pou nou obeyi ou. Fè nou tounen vin jwenn ou, paske ou se Seyè a, Bondye nou an.

I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God.

Nou te vire do ba ou, men, koulye a nou vle tounen vin jwenn ou. Sa te fè nou lapenn, nou rekonèt sa nou te fè a mal. Nou te wont, nou te bese tèt nou atè, paske nou te peche nan tan jennès nou.

Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.

Izrayèl, nou se pitit gason mwen pi renmen an, pitit mwen pi pito a. Chak fwa non nou vin nan bouch mwen pou m' pini nou, mwen chonje jan mwen renmen nou. Se poutèt sa mwen fèb pou nou, m'a gen pitye pou nou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.

Mete mak sou tout wout la, plante jalon sou tout chemen an. Jwenn chemen ou te pran lè ou taprale a. Tounen non, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, tounen lakay nou nan lavil ki pou nou yo.

Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

Kilè n'a sispann drive deyò, bann wòklò! Mwen fè yon bagay tou nèf nan peyi a: Koulye a se fanm k'ap liyen gason.

How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.

Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di ankò: -Lè m'a fè pèp mwen an tounen lakay li, men sa yo pral mache di ankò nan tout peyi Jida ak nan tout lavil li yo: Se pou Seyè a beni mòn ki apa pou li a, mòn kote Bondye k'ap delivre a rete a.

Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.

Se sou mòn sa a moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun tout lavil yo pral rete. Se la moun k'ap travay latè yo ansanm ak moun k'ap gade mouton yo pral rete tou.

And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.

Mwen pral bay tout moun ki bouke yo kouraj. Mwen pral plen vant tout moun k'ap mouri grangou yo.

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.

Lè sa a, pèp la va di: M' al dòmi. Lè m' leve, mwen wè dòmi an te bon pou mwen.

Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.

Talè konsa mwen pral simen moun ak bèt nan tout peyi Izrayèl la ak nan tout peyi Jida a. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

Menm jan mwen te pran san m' pou m' te derasinen yo, lage yo atè, demoli yo, detwi yo, fè malè sou yo, se konsa tou mwen pral pran san m' pou m' rebati yo, pou m' replante yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.

Lè sa a, pesonn p'ap di ankò: Papa ak manman te manje rezen vèt, se dan timoun yo ki gasi.

In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

Moun ki manje rezen vèt la, se li menm ki va gen dan gasi. Chak moun va mouri pou sa li fè ki mal.

But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Seyè a di ankò: Lè a pral rive, mwen pral pase yon lòt kontra avèk moun peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun peyi Jida yo.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Se p'ap tankou kontra mwen te pase avèk zansèt yo a lè m' te pran men yo pou m' te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip. Atout se mwen ki te mèt yo, yo pa t' kenbe kontra mwen an. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa!

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

Men kontra mwen pral pase ak pèp Izrayèl la. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. Lè sa a, m'ap mete prensip mwen yo anndan kè yo, m'ap make lòd mwen yo nan lespri yo. M'a tounen Bondye pou yo, y'a tounen yon pèp pou mwen.

But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Pesonn p'ap bezwen moutre lòt moun nan peyi a kouman pou yo chache konnen Seyè a, paske yo tout ap konnen m', depi sa ki pi piti a jouk sa ki pi gran an. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. M'a padonnen sa yo fè ki mal, mwen p'ap chonje peche yo ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Seyè a mete solèy la pou l' klere lajounen. Li bay lalin ak zetwal yo lòd pou yo klere lannwit. Li eksite lanmè a, li fè l' move. Se li menm ki Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a: Se konsa yo rele l'.

Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:

Toutotan prensip sa yo va kenbe, se toutotan pèp Izrayèl la va yon nasyon devan mwen. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.

Si yon jou yo ka rive mezire wotè syèl la, si yo ka rive konnen fondasyon latè a, konsa tou, yon jou mwen ka rive voye tout pèp Izrayèl la jete poutèt tou sa yo fè ki mal. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.

Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Pa rete lontan ankò, yo pral rebati tout lavil Jerizalèm pou Seyè a, depi gwo fò Ananyèl la jouk Pòtay Kwen an.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.

Limit lavil la va konmanse la, l'a pran direksyon ti mòn Garèb la sou bò lwès, l'a vire bò Goa.

And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.

Y'a pran tout fon ki sèvi pou antere kadav ak pou boule fatra a, tout tè ki soti depi bò ravin Sedwon an rive nan kwen Pòtay Chwal yo sou bò lès, y'a mete yo apa pou mwen. Yo p'ap janm kraze, ni yo p'ap janm demoli yo ankò.

And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
