Jeremiah 39
1 And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
Nan dizyèm mwa, nevyèm lanne rèy Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, vini ak tout lame li a, li atake lavil Jerizalèm. Li sènen li toupatou.
2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into;
Sou nevyèm jou nan katriyèm mwa, onzyèm lanne rèy Sedesyas la, lènmi yo fè yon twou nan miray ranpa a.
3 and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Lè sa a, tout gwo chèf wa Babilòn yo antre nan lavil la, yo pran pozisyon nan Pòtay Mitan an: Te gen Negal Sarezè, Samga-Nebo, Sasekim, ki te chèf nèg konfyans wa yo, yon lòt Negal-Sarezè ki te chèf konseye yo ansanm ak tout lòt gwo chèf wa Babilòn yo.
4 And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
Lè wa Sedesyas ak tout sòlda li yo wè sa, yo tann lannwit rive, yo mete deyò. Yo pase nan jaden wa a, yo soti nan pòtay kote de miray yo kontre a, yo kite lavil la. Yo pran chemen ki mennen nan Fon Jouden an.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him.
Men, sòlda lame Babilòn yo rapouswiv yo. Yo mete men sou Sedesyas nan plenn toupre lavil Jeriko a. Yo pran l', yo mennen l' bay Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, ki te lavil Ribla, nan peyi Amat. Rive la, wa Babilòn lan bay lòd sa pou yo fè Sedesyas.
6 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
Li fè yo touye pitit gason Sedesyas yo la devan je msye. Li fè touye tout chèf peyi Jida yo tou.
7 and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
Apre sa, li fe yo pete de je Sedesyas. Lèfini, li fè yo mare l' ak de chenn kwiv pou yo mennen l' Babilòn.
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Moun Babilòn yo menm, bò pa yo, mete dife nan kay wa a, nan kay tout grannèg yo epi yo kraze miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm.
9 And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
Lèfini, Nebouzaradan, chèf gad yo, pran tout rès moun ki te rete nan lavil la ansanm ak sa ki te kouri kite lavil la, li depòte yo lavil Babilòn.
10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Men, li kite tout moun ki pòv yo, tout moun ki pa gen anyen yo rete nan peyi Jida a. Li ba yo jaden rezen ak lòt jaden pou yo travay.
11 And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying,
Men Nèbikadneza, wa lavil Babilòn, bay Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la lòd sa a pou Jeremi:
12 Take him, and keep an eye upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
-Chache kote Jeremi ye. Pran swen li byen. Pa fè l' anyen. Okontrè, tout sa l'a mande, w'a ba li l'.
13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
Se konsa Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, Nebouchasban, chèf nèg konfyans yo, Negal-Sarezè, chèf konseye yo, ansanm ak tout lòt chèf wa Babilòn yo
14 even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people.
voye chache Jeremi nan lakou gad palè yo. Yo renmèt li nan men Gedalya, pitit Akikam, pitit pitit Chafan, ki te pou fè l' rive lakay li san danje. Se konsa Jeremi te rete nan mitan pèp la.
15 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Antan Jeremi te nan prizon nan lakou gad palè yo, Seyè a te pale avè l' pou di l' konsa:
16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day.
-Al pale ak Ebèdmelèk, moun peyi Letiopi a. W'a di li men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay: Mwen pral fè tou sa mwen te di ki gen pou rive a rive vre. Se va pou malè lavil la, se p'ap pou byen li. Lè sa a, w'a la pou wè tout bagay.
17 And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid;
Men jou sa a m'ap sove ou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Ou p'ap tonbe nan men moun k'ap fè ou pè yo.
18 for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
Se vre wi, m'ap sove ou, yo p'ap touye ou. W'ap sove, w'ap vivan paske ou te gen konfyans nan mwen. Wi, se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
