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.
Sédécias te gen laj a venteyen ane lè l te devni wa a e li te renye pandan onz ane Jérusalem. Non manman l te Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie nan Libna a.
2 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a tankou tout sa ke Jojakim te fè yo.
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.
Paske akoz kòlè SENYÈ a, bagay sa a te rive Jérusalem ak Juda jiskaske Li te jete yo deyò prezans Li. Epi Sédécias te fè rebèl kont wa Babylone nan.
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.
Alò, li te vin rive nan nevyèm ane règn li an, nan dizyèm jou nan dizyèm mwa a, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te vini, li menm ak tout lame li a, kont Jérusalem, te fè kan kont li e te bati yon miray syèj ki te antoure li.
5 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a wa Sédécias.
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.
Nan Nevyèm jou nan katriyèm mwa a, gwo grangou a te tèlman rèd nan vil la ke pa t gen manje pou pèp peyi a.
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,
Konsa yo te kase antre nan vil la, e tout mesye lagè yo te kouri kite vil la pandan lannwit lan bò kote pòtay ki te antre de miray ki te akote jaden a wa a. Sepandan, Kaldeyen yo te antoure vil la nèt. Yo te ale pa chemen Araba a vle di dezè a.
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 Kaldeyen an te kouri dèyè wa a. Li te rive sou Sédécias nan plèn Jéricho e tout lame li a te gen tan gaye kite li.
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.
Epi yo te kaptire wa a. Yo te mennen li monte kote wa Babylone nan nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath, e li te kondane li la.
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.
Wa Babylone nan te touye fis a Sédécias yo devan zye l e anplis, li te touye tout prens Juda yo Ribla.
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.
Anplis, li te avegle zye a Sédécias. Konsa, wa Babylone nan te anprizone l ak braslè an bwonz, te mennen li Babylone, e te mete l nan prizon jis rive jou ke li te mouri an.
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.
Alò, nan dizyèm jou nan senkyèm mwa a, ki te diz-nevyèm ane a wa Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, Nebuzaradan, chèf an tèt kò gad la, ki te nan sèvis wa a Babylone nan, te rive Jérusalem.
13 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
Li te brile kay SENYÈ a lakay wa a, ak tout kay Jérusalem yo; menm tout gwo kay yo, li te brile yo ak dife.
14 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Konsa, tout lame Kaldeyen ki te avèk chèf kò gad yo, te demoli tout miray ki te antoure Jérusalem yo.
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.
Epi Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad yo, te mennen, pote an egzil kèk nan moun ki pi malere pami pèp la, tout lòt moun ki te rete nan vil la, sila ki te dezète Jérusalem yo pou ale kote wa Babylone nan ak tout rès moun metye yo.
16 But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
Men Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad la, te kite kèk moun nan pi malere yo pou okipe chan rezen yo, e pou laboure tè a.
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.
Alò, pilye an bwonz, ki te apatyen a lakay SENYÈ a, baz yo, ak gwo lanmè an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ a, Kaldeyen yo te kraze yo an mòso e te pote tout bwonz yo Babylone.
18 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
Anplis, yo te pran veso yo, pèl yo, etoufè yo, basen yo, po yo ak tout veso an bwonz ki te 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.
Anplis, chèf kò gad la te retire bòl yo, plato sann yo, basen yo, po yo, chandelye yo, sa ki te fèt an lò fen ak sa ki te fèt an ajan fen.
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 pilye yo, sèl lanmè a, douz towo an bwonz ki te anba lanmè a, ak baz yo, ke Wa Salomon te fè pou lakay SENYÈ a——bwonz nan tout veso sa yo te depase kontwòl nan pwa.
21 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
Epi pou pilye yo, wotè a chak pilye te diz-uit koude, li te mezire douz koude sikonferans lan, kat dwat nan epesè e vid nan mitan.
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.
Alò, yon tèt kouvèti an bwonz te sou li; epi wotè a chak tèt kouvèti te senk koude, ak yon sistèm mèch fèt avèk chèn an fil tòde pou tèt kouvèti ak grenad sou tèt kouvèti ki antoure l yo, tout nan bwonz nèt. Epi dezyèm pilye a te tankou sila a, menm ak grenad yo.
23 Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
Te gen katre-ven-sèz grenad byen parèt; tout nan grenad yo te kontwole an santèn, sou sistèm mèch la toupatou.
24 The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
Epi chèf kò gad la te pran Seraja, chèf prèt la, Sophonie, dezyèm wo prèt la, ak twa ofisye a tanp yo.
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.
Anplis, li te pran soti nan vil la, yon ofisye ki te yon sipèvizè pou mesye lagè yo, sèt nan konseye wa ki te twouve nan vil yo, grefye a wo kòmandan ki te òganize pèp peyi a ak swasant mesye a pèp ki te twouve nan mitan vil yo.
26 Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad la te pran yo e te mennen yo kote wa Babylone nan 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.
Epi wa Babylone nan te frape yo mete a lanmò nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath la. Konsa, Juda te mennen ale an egzil kite peyi li.
28 These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
Sila yo se moun ke Nebucadnetsar te pote ale an egzil nan setyèm ane a: twa-mil-venn-twa Jwif;
29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
nan diz-uityèm ane Nebucadnetsar a, ui-san-trant-de moun ki sòti Jérusalem;
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 venn-twazyèm ane a Nebucadnetsar a, Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad yo te pote an egzil sèt-san-karant-senk Jwif. Nom de moun antou te kat-mil moun.
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.
Alò, li te vin rive nan trant-setyèm ane egzil Jojakin, wa Juda a, nan douzyèm mwa a, sou venn-senkyèm jou a mwa a, ke Évil-Merodac, wa Babylone nan, nan premye ane règn li a, te montre favè li a Jojakin, wa Juda a, e te lage li nan prizon.
32 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Konsa, li te pale dousman avèk li e te mete twòn li pi wo pase twòn a wa ki te avèk li Babylone 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.
Konsa, Jojakin te chanje rad prizonye li a, e te pran repa li nan prezans a wa a pandan tout rès jou lavi li yo.
34 And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
Pou okipe li, li te resevwa yon pòsyon nòmal chak jou pandan tout rès jou lavi li, jis rive jou li te mouri an.
