< Chronicles II 36 >
1 And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father.
Moun peyi Jida yo chwazi Joakaz, pitit gason Joas la, yo mete l' wa nan plas papa l'.
2 Joachaz [was] twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem.
Joakaz te gen venntwazan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa.
3 And the king brought him over to Egypt; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Neko, wa peyi Lejip la, mete l' atè, li fòse peyi Jida a ba li sètmil senksan (7500) liv ajan ak swasannkenz liv lò.
4 And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao.
Apre sa, Neko pran Elyakim, frè Joakaz, li mete l' wa nan plas li. Lè sa a, li chanje non Elyakim, li rele l' Jojakim. Lèfini, li pran Joakaz, li mennen l' nan peyi Lejip.
5 Joachim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
Jojakim te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan onzan. Li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, Bondye li a.
6 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.
Nebikadneza, wa Babilòn, anvayi peyi Jida, li fè wa Jojakim prizonye, li mete l' anba chenn doub, li mennen l' lavil Babilòn.
7 And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon.
Nebikadneza pran tout bèl bagay ki te nan Tanp Seyè a, li pote yo lavil Babilòn, li mete yo nan tanp bondye pa l'.
8 And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead.
Tout rès istwa Jojakim lan, jan li te sèvi vye zidòl yo ak tout mechanste li te fè yo, nou jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Se Jojakin, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
9 Jechonias [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
Jojakin te gen dizwitan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa dis jou. Li menm tou, li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a.
10 And at the turn of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Sedekias his father's brother king over Juda and Jerusalem.
Nan sezon prentan ki vin apre sa, wa Nebikadneza fè Jojakin prizonye, li mennen l' lavil Babilòn. Li pran tout richès ki te nan Tanp Seyè a pote ale. Apre sa, Nebikadneza pran Sedesyas, frè papa Jojakin, li mete l' wa lavil Jerizalèm nan peyi Jida.
11 Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Sedesyas te gen venteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li pase onzan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a.
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God: he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremias, nor because of the word of the Lord;
Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, li pa t' soumèt devan pwofèt Jeremi ki t'ap pale pawòl Bondye nan zòrèy li.
13 in that he rebelled against king Nabuchodonosor, which he adjured him by God [not to do]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.
Sedesyas leve kont wa Nebikadneza ki te fè l' sèmante devan Bondye li t'ap toujou soumèt devan li. Li fè tèt di, li derefize chanje lavi li t'ap mennen an pase pou l' ta tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
14 And all the great men of Juda, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem.
Ata lòt chèf peyi Jida yo, prèt yo ansanm ak tout pèp la te lage kò yo nan sèvi yon bann vye zidòl, tankou tout lòt nasyon yo te konn fè. Yo derespekte Tanp Seyè a te mete apa pou li menm lavil Jerizalèm.
15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets; rising early and sending his messengers, for he spared his people, and his sanctuary.
Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, pa t' manke voye pwofèt pou avèti pèp li a, paske li pa t' vle anyen rive ni pèp li a ni Tanp li a.
16 Nevertheless they sneered at his messengers, and set at nought his words, and mocked his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against his people, till there was no remedy.
Men, yo pase mesaje Bondye yo nan betiz, yo pa okipe sa Bondye te di yo, yo pase pwofèt yo anba rizib. Bout pou bout, Seyè a te vin sitèlman fache pa t' gen rechap pou yo ankò.
17 And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands.
Se konsa Seyè a fè wa Babilòn lan moute vin atake yo. Wa a touye tout jenn gason peyi Jida a nan Tanp lan menm. Li pa t' gen pitye pou pesonn, granmoun kou timoun, fanm kou gason, malad ou pa malad. Bondye lage yo tout nan men wa a.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon.
Wa a menm pran dènye sa ki te nan Tanp lan ak nan pyès trezò Tanp lan ansanm ak richès wa a ak richès lòt gwo chèf yo, li pote yo lavil Babilòn.
19 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt its palaces with fire, and [utterly destroyed] every beautiful vessel.
Lèfini, li mete dife nan Tanp lan. Li kraze miray lavil la. Li boule tout gwo kay yo ak tout bèl bagay koute chè ki te ladan yo.
20 And he carried away the remnant to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until [the establishment of] the kingdom of the Medes.
Li pran tout moun ki pa t' mouri yo, li depòte yo lavil Babilòn kote yo sèvi l', li menm ansanm ak pitit li yo, tankou esklav, jouk gouvènman an pase nan men wa peyi Pès la.
21 That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its sabbaths in resting [and] sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.
Se konsa, sa Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an rive vre: Pandan swasanndizan tè a pral rete san yon moun ladan l', li pral pran repo pou tout jou repo yo pa t' janm ba li a.
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfillment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
Lè sa a, wa Siris pa t' ankò gen ennan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Pès la, lè Seyè a mete lide nan tèt wa a pou li bay yon lòd, fè kouche l' sou papye, voye l' toupatou nan peyi a pou yo te ka li l' pou tout moun tande. Sa te pase konsa pou pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an te ka rive vre. Men lòd la:
23 Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
-Mwen menm Siris, wa peyi Pès la, men lòd mwen bay: Seyè a, Bondye nan syèl la, te mete m' chèf sou tout peyi ki sou latè. Li ban m' reskonsablite pou m' bati yon Tanp pou li lavil Jerizalèm nan peyi Jida. Nou mande pou Bondye pèp sa a beni tout moun ki fè pati pèp Izrayèl la, pou yo moute lavil Jerizalèm.
