Jeremiah 37

And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.

Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn, te mete Sedesyas, yonn nan pitit Jozyas yo, wa nan peyi Jida nan plas Jekonya, pitit Jojakim.

But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.

Men, ni Sedesyas, ni chèf li yo, ni ankenn lòt moun nan peyi a pa te vle tande mesaj Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeremi pou yo.

And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.

Men, wa Sedesyas te voye Jewoukal, pitit Chelemya, ak Sefanya, prèt la, pitit Maseja, bò kot pwofèt Jeremi pou mande l' lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye yo a, pou yo tout.

Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.

Lè sa a, yo pa t' ankò mete Jeremi nan prizon. Li t'ap ale vini jan l' te vle nan mitan pèp la.

Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.

Lame moun Babilòn yo te sènen lavil Jerizalèm. Lè yo pran nouvèl lame farawon an te travèse fwontyè peyi Lejip la, yo wete kò yo devan lavil Jerizalèm.

Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Jeremi. Li di l': -Men repons w'a voye bay Sedesyas:

Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.

Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la pale. Men sa n'a di wa Jida ki te voye nou bò kote m' lan. Lame farawon an t'ap vin ede nou. Men l'ap tounen lakay li nan peyi Lejip.

And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.

Lè sa a, moun Babilòn yo ap tounen dèyè nou ankò, y'ap atake lavil la, y'ap pran l', y'ap boule l'.

Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.

Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa: Pa twonpe tèt nou. Pa konprann moun Babilòn yo pati ale nèt, yo gen pou yo tounen.

For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.

Menm si nou ta rive kraze tout lame moun Babilòn k'ap fè nou lagè a epi se sa ki blese yo ase nou kite kouche anba tant yo, yo tout y'ap leve, y'ap vin boule lavil la ratè.

And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,

Lè sa a, lame moun Babilòn yo te wete kò yo devan Jerizalèm, paske yo te pran nouvèl mouvman lame farawon an.

Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.

Jeremi te vle fè yon ti soti andeyò lavil la pou li ale nan peyi moun Benjamen yo. Li tapral resevwa pòsyon pa l' nan yon tè fanmi li ansanm ak tout rès moun yo t'ap separe.

And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.

Lè li rive Pòtay Benjamen, li kontre ak kòmandman pòs la ki te rele Jirija. Se te pitit Chelemya, pitit pitit Ananya. Jirija rete Jeremi, li di l' konsa: -Anhan! Ou pral rann tèt ou bay moun Babilòn yo!

Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.

Jeremi reponn li: -Non, monchè! Mwen pa pral rann tèt mwen kras bay moun Babilòn yo. Men Jirija pa koute l' menm. Li boukle Jeremi, li mennen l' bay chèf yo.

Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.

Chèf yo move sou Jeremi, yo fè bat li byen bat. Apre sa, yo fèmen msye lakay Jonatan, sekretè tanp lan. Yo te pran kay sa a sèvi yo prizon.

When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;

Yo mete Jeremi nan yon kacho anba tanp lan. Yo kite l' pase kèk tan la.

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.

Apre sa, wa Sedesyas voye chache l'. Lè Jeremi rive nan palè a, wa a pran l' sou kote, li mande l': -Eske Seyè a ba ou yon mesaj pou mwen? Jeremi reponn: -Wi, monwa. Men li: Yo pral lage ou nan men wa lavil Babilòn lan.

Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?

Apre sa Jeremi mande wa a: -Sa mwen fè ou, sa m' fè chèf ou yo, sa m' fè pèp la pou ou mete m' nan prizon?

Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?

Kisa ki rive pwofèt ou yo ki te di ou wa lavil Babilòn lan pa t'ap vin atake ni ou menm ni peyi a?

Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

Koulye a, monwa, mèt mwen, tanpri, koute sa m'ap mande ou. Tanpri souple, pa voye m' tounen nan prizon kay Jonatan, sekretè a. Si ou fè sa, nanpwen rechap pou mwen.

Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

Se konsa, wa Sedesyas bay lòd pou yo fèmen Jeremi nan lakou gad palè yo. Chak jou se pou yo ba li yon pen y'a pran nan Riyèl Boulanje yo jouk jou p'ap gen pen ankò nan lavil la. Se konsa Jeremi rete nan lakou gad palè yo.
