2 Kings 25
1 Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.
Alò nan nevyèm ane règn li an, nan dizyèm jou ak nan dezyèm mwa a, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te vini. Li menm avèk tout lame li te fè kan kont Jérusalem, e li te bati yon miray syèj ki te antoure li.
2 And the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a Wa Sédécias la.
3 Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
Nan nevyèm jou ak nan katriyèm mwa a, grangou te tèlman rèd nan vil la ke pa t gen manje pou pèp peyi a.
4 So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
Konsa, yo te kase vil la antre e tout mesye lagè yo te sove ale nan nwit lan pa pòtay antre de mi yo akote jaden a wa a, malgre Kaldeyen yo te antoure tout vil la. Konsa, yo te sòti pa chemen dezè a.
5 But the Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
Men lame Kaldeyen yo te kouri dèyè wa a. Yo te rive pran li nan plèn Jéricho a, e tout lame li a te gaye kite li.
6 And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.
Yo te kaptire wa a e yo te mennen li kote wa Babylone nan Ribla e yo te pase jijman sou li.
7 And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.
Yo te touye fis a Sédécias yo devan zye li, yo te pete zye a Sédécias, yo te mare l avèk chenn an bwonz yo, e yo te mennen li Babylone.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
Alò, nan setyèm jou ak nan senkyèm mwa a, ki se te diznevyèm ane Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, Nebuzaradan, kapitèn gad yo, yon sèvitè a wa Babylone nan, te rive Jérusalem.
9 And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;
Li te brile lakay SENYÈ a, lakay wa a ak tout kay Jérusalem yo. Menm tout gwo kay yo, li te brile yo avèk dife.
10 And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
Epi tout lame Kaldeyen yo ki te avèk kapitèn gad la te kraze, chire, tout mi ki te antoure Jérusalem yo.
11 And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;
Epi tout rès nan moun ki te kite lavil yo, sila ki te dezète al jwenn wa Babylone nan e tout rès pèp la ki te rete, Nébuzaraden, kapitèn gad la, te pote yo ale an egzil.
12 But he let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.
Men kapitèn gad la te kite kèk moun pami pi malere yo pou sèvi kòm ouvriye nan chan rezen yo ak pou raboure tè a.
13 And the brass pillars in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases, and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took the brass to Babylon.
Alò, pilye an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ yo ak baz avèk lanmè an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ a, Kaldeyen yo te kase yo an mòso e te pote bwonz lan Babylone.
14 And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
Yo te retire po yo, pèl yo, etennwa yo, kiyè yo ak tout veso an bwonz ki te konn sèvi nan sèvis tanp lan.
15 And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.
Kòmandan gad la, anplis, te pran tout plato pou resevwa sann yo, avèk basen yo, sila ki te an lò fen ak sila ki te an ajan fen yo.
16 The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
De pilye yo, yon sèl lanmè a ak baz ke Salomon te fè pou lakay SENYÈ a, bwonz nan veso sila yo te depase kapasite pou peze.
17 One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
Wotè a yon pilye te di-zuit koude e yon tèt an bwonz te sou li. Wotè a tèt an bwonz lan te twa koude, avèk yon griyaj ak grenad ki te antoure li an bwonz. Epi dezyèm pilye a te tankou sila yo avèk yon sistèm griyaj.
18 And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
Alò, kapitèn gad la te pran Seraja, wo prèt la, avèk Sophonie, dezyèm prèt la, avèk twa ofisye a tanp lan.
19 And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
Depi nan vil la, li te pran yon ofisye ki te chèf mesye lagè yo ak senk nan konseye a wa yo ki te twouve nan vil la; epi grefye a kapitèn lame ki te responsab anrejistre moun nan peyi a; epi swasant moun nan pèp peyi a te twouve nan vil la.
20 These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Nebuzaradan, kapitèn gad la, te pran yo pou te mennen yo kote wa Babylone nan Ribla.
21 And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his land.
Alò, wa Babylone nan te frape yo e te mete yo a lanmò nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath. Konsa, Juda te mennen an egzil soti nan peyi li.
22 As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
Alò, moun ki te rete nan peyi Juda yo, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te kite, li te chwazi Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan, fis a Schaphan an sou yo.
23 Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of the Maacathite, came with all their men.
Lè tout kapitèn yo avèk sòlda pa yo te tande ke wa Babylone nan te chwazi Guedalia kòm gouvènè, yo te vin kote Guedalia nan Mitspa; pa non, Ismaël fis a Nethania a, avèk Jochanan, fis a Karéach la, Seraja, fis a Thanhumeth la, Netofayit la, avèk Jaazania, fis a Maakatyen an, yo menm avèk mesye pa yo.
24 Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
Guedalia te sèmante a yo avèk mesye pa yo a, e te di yo: “Pa pè vin sèvitè a Kaldeyen yo. Viv nan peyi a, sèvi wa Babylone nan e sa va ale byen pou nou.”
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Men li te vin rive nan setyèm mwa a, ke Ismaël, fis a Nethania yo, fis a Élischama yo nan fanmi wayal la, te rive avèk dis òm pou te frape Guedalia e li te mouri ansanm avèk Jwif ak Kaldeyen ki te avèk li nan Mitspa yo.
26 Then all the people, small and great, and the captains of the forces, got up and went away to Egypt, for fear of the Chaldaeans.
Alò, tout pèp la, ni gran ni piti, avèk kapitèn a fòs soulèvman yo te leve ale an Égypte; paske yo te pè Kaldeyen yo.
27 And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison;
Alò, li te vin rive nan trant-setyèm ane an egzil a Jojakin, wa Juda a, nan douzyèm mwa a, nan venn-setyèm jou nan mwa a, ke Évil-Merodac, wa Babylone nan, nan lane ke li te vin wa a, li te lage Jojakin, wa Juda a, soti nan prizon.
28 And said kind words to him, and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Konsa, li te pale avèk dousè anvè li e li te leve twòn li an piwo pase lòt wa ki te avèk li Babylone yo.
29 And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.
Jojakin te chanje rad prizonye li yo, e li te vin pran repa l nan prezans a wa a pandan tout rès jou lavi li.
30 And for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day for the rest of his life.
Epi pou bous li, yon bous nòmal te bay a li menm pa wa a, yon pòsyon pou chak jou pandan tout jou lavi li.
