Jeremiah 30

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

Men mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi:

Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

-Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, k'ap pale avè ou. Ekri nan yon liv tou sa mwen te di ou.

For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

Paske, talè konsa mwen pral fè pèp mwen an, moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo kanpe ankò. M'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt yo, y'a reprann peyi a pou yo ankò.

And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

Men mesaj Seyè a voye bay moun Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun Jida yo.

For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

Mwen tande moun ap rele anmwe. Tout moun tèt anba, yo pa konn sa pou yo fè.

Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Mande sa ki genyen! Al gade non! Eske gason konn pouse pitit? Poukisa mwen wè tout gason men anba tivant tankou fanm ki gen tranche? Y'ap dekonpoze, figi yo rale.

Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

Ala malè, mezanmi! Se yon gwo jou malè k'ap vini. Pa gen jou ki ka parèt devan li. Se va yon tan lafliksyon pou fanmi Jakòb la! Men, y'a chape anba l'.

For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a di ankò: Lè jou sa a va vini, m'a kraze jouk bèf ki dèyè kou yo a, m'a kase chenn ki nan ren yo a. Yo p'ap janm esklav moun lòt nasyon ankò.

But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye yo a, y'a sèvi ansanm ak yon pitit David m'a mete wa sou yo.

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

Nou pa bezwen pè, nou menm pitit Jakòb, sèvitè mwen an. Nou pa bezwen tranble, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl. M'ap vin delivre nou nan peyi lwen sa yo. M'ap vin sove pitit nou yo nan peyi kote yo te depòte nou an. N'ap tounen lakay nou pou nou viv ak kè poze, san pesonn pa chache nou kont ankò.

For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

M'ap vin jwenn nou, m'ap sove nou. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. M'ap disparèt tout nasyon kote mwen te gaye nou yo. Nou menm, mwen p'ap detwi nou. Men, pou pini se pou m' pini nou, jan sa dwe fèt. Mwen p'ap kite anyen pou nou.

For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a ankò: Pou jan ou donmaje a, pa gen renmèd pou ou. Malenng ou an p'ap janm geri.

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

Pa gen pesonn pou defann kòz ou. Se vre, yo konn geri malenng. Men, pou malenng pa ou la, pa gen renmèd.

All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

Tout moun ki t'ap fè lamou avè ou yo bliye ou. Yo yonn pa okipe ou ankò. Mwen frape ou, tankou si m' te lènmi ou. Pinisyon an te rèd pou ou, paske peche ou la te grav anpil. Ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste.

Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

Poukisa w'ap plenyen pou jan ou donmaje a, pou soufrans ou ki pa ka fini an? Se paske peche ou la te grav anpil, ou te fè anpil gwo mechanste kifè mwen pini ou konsa.

Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

Men, yon lè yo gen pou yo devore moun k'ap devore ou koulye a. Y'ap fè tout moun ki pa vle wè ou yo prizonye, y'ap depòte yo. Y'ap piye moun k'ap piye ou yo. Y'ap fini ak moun k'ap fini avè ou yo.

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

Nou menm moun Siyon, yo te rele nou: moun yo mete deyò. Yo t'ap di: pa gen moun pou okipe nou. Men, se mwen menm k'ap ban nou renmèd, k'ap geri tout malenng nou yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.

Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.

Seyè a di ankò: -Mwen pral fè moun fanmi Jakòb yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo. Mwen pral gen pitye pou chak fanmi. Yo pral rebati lavil yo sou anplasman vye mazi yo. Yo pral rebati gwo bèl kay yo kote yo te ye anvan an.

And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

Y'a tande moun ap chante lakay yo, y'a tande moun ap rele tèlman yo kontan. M'ap fè yo peple, yo p'ap fin disparèt. M'ap fè moun fè lwanj yo. Moun p'ap meprize yo ankò.

Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

Pitit gason yo va tankou nan tan lontan. M'ap fè peyi a kanpe byen fèm ankò devan mwen. M'a pini tout moun k'ap peze yo.

And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.

Se yonn nan nou ki va chèf nan peyi a. Wi, se nan mitan nou yon chèf va soti pou gouvènen nou. L'a vin jwenn mwen lè m'a rele l'. Paske pesonn p'ap pran chans vin jwenn mwen si mwen pa rele l'. Se Seyè a ki di sa.

And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'a ye ankò, mwen menm m'a Bondye yo.

Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

Lè Bondye ankòlè se tankou yon van tanpèt, yon siklòn k'ap tonbe sou tèt mechan yo.

The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

Li p'ap sispann toutotan li pa fin fè tou sa li soti pou li fè a. Nan jou k'ap vini yo, pèp la va konprann sa pi byen.
