Jeremiah 39
1 In the tenth month of the ninth year of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his whole army arrived at Jerusalem and 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 On the ninth day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah's reign, the city wall was broken through.
Sou nevyèm jou nan katriyèm mwa, onzyèm lanne rèy Sedesyas la, lènmi yo fè yon twou nan miray ranpa a.
3 All the officials of the king of Babylon came in and took over the city, making their headquarters at the Middle Gate. They were Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the other officials 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 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the defenders saw them there, they ran away. They escaped from the city during the night through the king's garden, passing through the gate between the two walls, and took the road to the Arabah.
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 But the Babylonian army chased after them and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They captured him and brought him before Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he put him on trial and punished 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 The king of Babylon had Zedekiah's sons killed as Zedekiah watched, and he also executed all of Judah's leaders there in Riblah.
Li fè yo touye pitit gason Sedesyas yo la devan je msye. Li fè touye tout chèf peyi Jida yo tou.
7 Then he had Zedekiah's eyes gouged out, and had him bound with bronze chains and taken away 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 The Babylonians burned down the king's palace and the people's houses, and they demolished Jerusalem's city walls.
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 Then Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard carried off to Babylon the rest of the people who had stayed in the city, together with those who had deserted and gone over to him.
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 he left behind in the land of Judah some of the poorest people who didn't have any property. He gave them vineyards and fields at that 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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders to Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard regarding Jeremiah, saying,
Men Nèbikadneza, wa lavil Babilòn, bay Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la lòd sa a pou Jeremi:
12 “Go and get Jeremiah and watch out that nothing bad happens to him. Do whatever he wants.”
-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 Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the army captains of the king of Babylon
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 took Jeremiah from the guard's courtyard, and they handed him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. Jeremiah stayed there with his own 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 During the time that Jeremiah had been kept prisoner in the guard's courtyard, a message from the Lord had come to him:
Antan Jeremi te nan prizon nan lakou gad palè yo, Seyè a te pale avè l' pou di l' konsa:
16 “Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to keep my promise I made against this city—to harm it and not to help it—you'll see it for yourself when it happens.
-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 But when that day comes I'm going to save you, declares the Lord. You won't be handed over to the people you're afraid of.
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 I promise to rescue you so that you're won't be killed. Your reward will be your life, because you trusted in me, declares the Lord.”
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.
