2 Kings 24
1 During the reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar, kind of Babylon, invaded the country and Jehoiakim submitted to him. But after three years Jehoiakim rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
Pandan reny Jojakim lan, Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn, anvayi peyi Jida. Pandan twazan Jojakim soumèt devan li. Apre sa, li konmanse kenbe tèt avè l'.
2 Then the Lord sent bands of raiders against Judah to destroy them. They came from Babylonia, Aram, Moab, and Ammon, just as the Lord had said through his servants the prophets.
Lè sa a, Seyè a voye ansasen soti nan peyi Babilòn, nan peyi Siri, nan peyi Moab ak nan peyi Amon vin dèyè Jojakim. Li lage yo nan peyi Jida a pou yo fini avè l' dapre sa Seyè a te di nan bouch pwofèt yo, sèvitè l' yo.
3 The Lord spoke against Judah to banish them from his presence because of all the sins that Manasseh had committed, and the innocent people he had killed,
Sa te rive peyi Jida a paske Seyè a te vle wete pèp peyi Jida a devan je l' poutèt peche wa Manase te fè yo,
4 filling Jerusalem with their blood. The Lord was not willing to forgive this.
ak pou kantite moun inonsan li te touye jouk tout lari Jerizalèm te plen san. Seyè a pa t' vle padonnen ankò.
5 The rest of what happened in Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Tout rès istwa Jojakim lan, sa li te fè yo, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
6 Jehoiakim died, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
Lè Jojakim mouri se Jojakin, pitit gason li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.
7 The king of Egypt didn't leave his country again for the king of Babylon had taken all the territory that used to belong to him, from the Wadi of Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River.
Wa peyi Lejip la pa janm soti kite peyi l' la ankò, paske wa peyi Babilòn lan te pran tout zòn ki te pou wa peyi Lejip la, depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan ravin Lejip.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan. She came from Jerusalem.
Jojakin te gen dizwitan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa. Manman l' te rele Neouchta. Se te pitit fi Elnatan, moun lavil Jerizalèm.
9 Jehoiachin did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father had done.
Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a tankou papa l'.
10 At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged it.
Se sou reny li lame Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, te mache sou lavil Jerizalèm. Yo sènen lavil la.
11 Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came himself while his officers were besieging the city.
Pandan lame a te sènen lavil la, Nèbikadneza vin atake lavil la li menm menm.
12 Jehoiachin, king of Israel, surrendered to the king of Babylon, along with his mother, his officers, his commanders, and his officials. It was in the eighth year of his reign that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jehoiachin.
Lè sa a, Jojakin, wa peyi Jida a, al rann tèt li bay wa Babilòn lan ansanm ak manman l', pitit gason l' yo, chèf lame l' yo ak chèf palè li yo. Wa a fè yo tout prizonye. Lè sa a, Nèbikadneza t'ap mache sou witan depi li te wa.
13 Nebuchadnezzar took all the treasures from the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he cut up all the gold items that Solomon, king of Israel, had made for the Lord's Temple, as the Lord had said would happen.
Li pran tout richès ki te nan Tanp Seyè a ak nan palè wa a. Li kraze tout bèl bagay an lò Salomon, wa pèp Izrayèl la, te fè pou sèvi nan Tanp Seyè a, jan Seyè a te fè konn sa depi lontan an.
14 He deported all of Jerusalem, all the commanders and experienced soldiers, all the craftsmen and metalworkers, a total of ten thousand prisoners. Only the very poor people of the land were left.
Nèbikadneza depòte dènye moun ki te lavil Jerizalèm, tout chèf yo, tout grannèg yo, li depòte tout atizan yo ak tout bòs fòjon yo. Sa te fè dimil (10.000) moun antou. Se moun pòv yo ase li kite nan peyi Jida a.
15 He took Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon, as well as the king's mother and the king's wives and his officials and the leading men of the land, he deported them all from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Nèbikadneza fè Jojakin prizonye ansanm ak manman l', madanm li yo, chèf nan gouvènman l' yo ak tout grannèg peyi Jida yo. Li depòte yo, li pran yo lavil Jerizalèm li mennen yo peyi Babilòn.
16 The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon all seven thousand fighting men and one thousand craftsmen and metalworkers, who were all strong and ready for battle.
Wa peyi Babilòn lan te depòte antou sètmil (7.000) prizonye nan peyi Babilòn, ansanm ak mil atizan ak bòs fòjon san konte vanyan gason ki te ka fè lagè.
17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king instead of him, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Apre sa, Nèbikadneza pran Matanya, tonton wa Jojakin, li mete l' wa nan peyi Jida. Li chanje non l', li rele l' Sedesyas.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
Sedesyas te gen venteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li pase onzan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a. Manman l' te rele Amoutal. Se te pitit fi Jeremi, moun lavil Libna.
19 He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Wa Sedesyas te fè sa ki mal devan Bondye menm jan ak Jojakin.
20 All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Se konsa, Seyè a te fache ni sou moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, ni sou moun peyi Jida yo jouk jou li wete yo devan je l'. Men, rive yon lè Sedesyas derefize soumèt devan Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan.
