2 Chronicles 36
1 The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in succession to his father.
Moun peyi Jida yo chwazi Joakaz, pitit gason Joas la, yo mete l' wa nan plas papa l'.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months.
Joakaz te gen venntwazan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa.
3 Then the king of Egypt removed him from the throne in Jerusalem and imposed a tax on Judah of 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 Neco, king of Egypt, made Eliakim, Jehoahaz's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz back with him to Egypt.
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 Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
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 Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jehoiakim. He captured him and put bronze shackles on him, and brought him 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 Nebuchadnezzar also took some items from the Lord's Temple, and he 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 The rest of what Jehoiakim, the disgusting sins he committed, and all the evidence against him, are written down in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin took over as king.
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 Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
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 In the spring of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and brought him to Babylon, along with valuable items from the Lord's Temple, and he made Jehoiachin's uncle Zedekiah king over Judah 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 Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years.
Sedesyas te gen venteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li pase onzan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a.
12 He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and he refused to admit his pride when the prophet Jeremiah warned him directly from 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 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath of loyalty by God. Zedekiah was arrogant and hard-hearted, and refused to come back to the Lord, the 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 All the leaders of the priests and the people were also totally faithless and sinful, following all the disgusting practices of the heathen nations. They defiled the Lord's Temple that he had set apart as holy 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 Again and again the Lord, the God of their fathers, warned his people through his prophets, because he wanted to show mercy to them and to his Temple.
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 But they ridiculed God's messengers, they despised his warnings and mocked his prophets, until the Lord's anger against his people was provoked to such an extent it couldn't be stopped.
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 So the Lord brought the king of Babylon to attack them. His army killed by the sword their best young men even in the sanctuary. The Babylonians did not spare young men or young women, the sick or the elderly. God handed them all over to Nebuchadnezzar.
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 He took back to Babylon all the articles, large and small, from God's Temple, and from the Temple treasury, and from the king and from his officials.
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 Then the Babylonians burned down God's Temple and demolished Jerusalem's walls. They set fire to all the palaces and destroyed everything that had any value.
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 Nebuchadnezzar took into exile in Babylon those who had not been killed. They were slaves for himself and his sons, until the kingdom of Persia took over.
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 So to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the land enjoyed its Sabbaths as rest all the time it was left desolate, keeping the Sabbath until seventy years were completed.
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 Persia, to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, 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 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go there. May the Lord your God be with you.’”
-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.
