< Jeremiah 52 >

1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
Sedesyas te gen venteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li pase onzan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a. Manman l' te rele Amoutal. Se te pitit fi Jeremi, moun lavil Libna.
2 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Wa Sedesyas te fè sa ki mal devan Bondye menm jan ak Jojakim.
3 For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Se konsa, Seyè a te fache ni sou moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, ni sou moun peyi Jida yo, jouk jou li wete yo devan je l'. Sedesyas te pran lezam kont Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan.
4 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
Se konsa, sou dezyèm jou dizyèm mwa nevyèm lanne depi Sedesyas te wa a, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, vin atake lavil Jerizalèm ak tout lame li a. Yo moute kan yo devan miray lavil la, yo mete ranblè nan pye miray yo. Yo sènen l' nèt.
5 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
Yo fèmen lavil la depi lè sa a rive sou onzyèm lanne rèy wa Sedeisas la.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
Sou nevyèm jou katriyèm mwa menm lanne sa a, te gen yon sèl grangou nan lavil la, moun yo pa t' gen anyen pou yo manje ankò.
7 Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
Yo fè yon twou nan miray yo. Atout lame moun Babilòn yo te sènen lavil la nèt, tout sòlda jwif yo met deyò, yo kite lavil la nan mitan lannwit, yo pase nan mitan jaden wa a, yo desann nan wout pòtay la nan mitan de miray yo, yo pran chemen Fon Jouden an pou yo.
8 but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
Men, lame moun Babilòn yo rapouswiv wa Sedesyas. Lè yo rive nan plenn bò lavil Jeriko yo, yo mete men sou li. Lè sa a, tout sòlda li yo gaye, yo kouri kite l'.
9 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
Lènmi yo pran wa a, yo mennen l' bay wa Babilòn lan, ki te lavil Ribla nan peyi Amat la. Se la Nèbikadneza jije li.
10 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
Antan yo lavil Ribla, li fè yo koupe kou tout pitit wa Sedesyas yo devan wa a. Li fè koupe kou tout chèf peyi Jida yo tou.
11 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
Lèfini, li fè yo pete tou de je wa Sedesyas, epi yo mare l' ak de gwo chenn fèt an kwiv. Yo mennen l' lavil Babilòn. Yo mete Sedesyas nan prizon, li rete la jouk li mouri.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
Sou dizyèm jou senkyèm mwa nan disnevyèm lanne rèy Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, yonn nan konseye li yo, antre lavil Jerizalèm.
13 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
Li met dife nan kay Bondye a ak nan palè wa a. Li boule dènye kay ki te lavil Jerizalèm, ata kay grannèg yo.
14 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Li bay sòlda ki te avè l' yo lòd demoli tout gwo miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm yo met atè.
15 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
Lèfini, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, pran rès moun yo te kite lavil la, li depòte yo lavil Babilòn ansanm ak tout moun ki te vin rann tèt yo bay wa Babilòn lan ak tout bon bòs atizan ki te rete nan lavil la.
16 But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
Men, li kite kèk moun nan mas pèp la ki pa t' gen anyen. Li ba yo jaden rezen ak lòt jaden pou yo okipe.
17 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
Moun Babilòn yo pran gwo poto kwiv yo ki te nan tanp Seyè a, ansanm ak sipò yo, gwo basen kwiv yo, yo kraze yo fè ti moso, yo pote kwiv la ale lavil Babilòn.
18 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
Yo pran plat pou resevwa sann yo, pèl yo, kouto yo, gode yo, tas yo ak tout lòt bagay an kwiv yo te konn sèvi nan tanp lan.
19 The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
Chèf lagad la pran dènye bagay ki te fèt an lò ak an ajan: kivèt yo, recho yo, gode yo, plat pou resevwa sann yo, lanp sèt branch yo, bòl yo ak tas yo,
20 As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
de gwo poto yo, gwo basen lan ak douz estati towo ki te sèvi l' sipò yo, ak kabwèt wa Salomon te fè fè an kwiv pou mete nan tanp lan. Tout bagay sa yo te lou anpil, pesonn pa t' konn pèz yo.
21 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
De poto yo te parèy yonn ak lòt: yo chak te gen vennsèt pye wotè, se yon kòd dizwit pye longè ki pou ta fè wonn yo chak. Poto yo te vid nan mitan. Rebò yo te gen twa pous epesè.
22 The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.
Sou tèt chak poto te gen yon blòk an kwiv sèt pye edmi wotè. Sou tout wonn tèt poto yo, te gen desen ti chenn makònen yonn ak lòt, ak anpil pòtre grenad plake sou yo. Tout te fèt an kwiv. De poto yo te parèy.
23 Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
Sou wonn tèt poto yo te gen san grenad antou, men antan ou anba ou te ka wè katrevensèz grenad sèlman.
24 The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
Lèfini, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, pran Seraya, granprèt la, Sefanya, adjwen li an ansanm ak twa lòt chèf ki la pou veye pòtay tanp lan, li fè yo prizonye.
25 Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
Nan lavil la, li pran chèf ki te alatèt lame a ansanm ak sèt lòt otorite ki te toujou avèk wa a, ak sekretè kòmandan lame a ki te reskonsab pou pran moun nan lame a, ak swasant lòt grannèg. Tout moun sa yo te nan lavil la toujou.
26 Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Neboucharadan pran yo, li mennen yo bay wa Babilòn lan lavil Ribla.
27 There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
Wa a fè bat yo, lèfini li fè touye yo lavil Ribla nan peyi Amat. Se konsa yo te depòte moun peyi Jida yo byen lwen peyi yo.
28 These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
Men kantite moun wa Nèbikadneza te depòte: Nan setyèm lanne rèy li a, li depòte twamil venntwa (3.023) moun peyi Jida.
29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
Nan dizwityèm lanne rèy li a, li depòte witsantrannde (832) moun lavil Jerizalèm.
30 in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
Nan venntwazyèm lanne rèy li a, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te pran sètsankarannsenk (745) moun. Antou sa te fè katmil sisan (4.600) moun yo te depòte.
31 On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
Premye lanne wa Evilmewodak pran pouvwa a lavil Babilòn, li fè pa Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, li fè l' soti nan prizon. Lè sa a, Jojakim te gen trannsizan onz mwa, vennsenk jou, jou pou jou, depi yo te depòte l'.
32 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Evilmewodak te sèvi byen avè l', li ba l' premye plas nan mitan tout lòt wa yo te depòte lavil Babilòn tankou l' yo.
33 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
Li wete rad prizonye ki te sou Jojakim lan, li fè l' vin manje sou menm tab avè l' jouk Jojakim mouri.
34 And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
Chak jou, wa a ba li sa li te bezwen pou l' viv, konsa, konsa, jouk li mouri.
