Jeremiah 52
1 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.
Sédécias te gen laj a venteyen ane lè l te devni wa a e li te renye pandan onz ane Jérusalem. Non manman l te Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie nan Libna a.
2 He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a tankou tout sa ke Jojakim te fè yo.
3 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.
Paske akoz kòlè SENYÈ a, bagay sa a te rive Jérusalem ak Juda jiskaske Li te jete yo deyò prezans Li. Epi Sédécias te fè rebèl kont wa Babylone nan.
4 In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
Alò, li te vin rive nan nevyèm ane règn li an, nan dizyèm jou nan dizyèm mwa a, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te vini, li menm ak tout lame li a, kont Jérusalem, te fè kan kont li e te bati yon miray syèj ki te antoure li.
5 The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a wa Sédécias.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
Nan Nevyèm jou nan katriyèm mwa a, gwo grangou a te tèlman rèd nan vil la ke pa t gen manje pou pèp peyi a.
7 Then the city wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of the Arabah,
Konsa yo te kase antre nan vil la, e tout mesye lagè yo te kouri kite vil la pandan lannwit lan bò kote pòtay ki te antre de miray ki te akote jaden a wa a. Sepandan, Kaldeyen yo te antoure vil la nèt. Yo te ale pa chemen Araba a vle di dezè a.
8 but the Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left him.
Men lame Kaldeyen an te kouri dèyè wa a. Li te rive sou Sédécias nan plèn Jéricho e tout lame li a te gen tan gaye kite li.
9 They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
Epi yo te kaptire wa a. Yo te mennen li monte kote wa Babylone nan nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath, e li te kondane li la.
10 The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at Riblah.
Wa Babylone nan te touye fis a Sédécias yo devan zye l e anplis, li te touye tout prens Juda yo Ribla.
11 Then he gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
Anplis, li te avegle zye a Sédécias. Konsa, wa Babylone nan te anprizone l ak braslè an bwonz, te mennen li Babylone, e te mete l nan prizon jis rive jou ke li te mouri an.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
Alò, nan dizyèm jou nan senkyèm mwa a, ki te diz-nevyèm ane a wa Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, Nebuzaradan, chèf an tèt kò gad la, ki te nan sèvis wa a Babylone nan, te rive Jérusalem.
13 He burned down the Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
Li te brile kay SENYÈ a lakay wa a, ak tout kay Jérusalem yo; menm tout gwo kay yo, li te brile yo ak dife.
14 The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Konsa, tout lame Kaldeyen ki te avèk chèf kò gad yo, te demoli tout miray ki te antoure Jérusalem yo.
15 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported some of the poor people and those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as the rest of the craftsmen.
Epi Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad yo, te mennen, pote an egzil kèk nan moun ki pi malere pami pèp la, tout lòt moun ki te rete nan vil la, sila ki te dezète Jérusalem yo pou ale kote wa Babylone nan ak tout rès moun metye yo.
16 But Nebuzaradan allowed others of the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the fields.
Men Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad la, te kite kèk moun nan pi malere yo pou okipe chan rezen yo, e pou laboure tè a.
17 The Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
Alò, pilye an bwonz, ki te apatyen a lakay SENYÈ a, baz yo, ak gwo lanmè an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ a, Kaldeyen yo te kraze yo an mòso e te pote tout bwonz yo Babylone.
18 They also took all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items used in the Temple service.
Anplis, yo te pran veso yo, pèl yo, etoufè yo, basen yo, po yo ak tout veso an bwonz ki te sèvi nan tanp lan.
19 The commander of the guard removed the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or silver.
Anplis, chèf kò gad la te retire bòl yo, plato sann yo, basen yo, po yo, chandelye yo, sa ki te fèt an lò fen ak sa ki te fèt an ajan fen.
20 The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
De pilye yo, sèl lanmè a, douz towo an bwonz ki te anba lanmè a, ak baz yo, ke Wa Salomon te fè pou lakay SENYÈ a——bwonz nan tout veso sa yo te depase kontwòl nan pwa.
21 Each column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls four fingers thick.
Epi pou pilye yo, wotè a chak pilye te diz-uit koude, li te mezire douz koude sikonferans lan, kat dwat nan epesè e vid nan mitan.
22 The bronze capital on top of one column was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
Alò, yon tèt kouvèti an bwonz te sou li; epi wotè a chak tèt kouvèti te senk koude, ak yon sistèm mèch fèt avèk chèn an fil tòde pou tèt kouvèti ak grenad sou tèt kouvèti ki antoure l yo, tout nan bwonz nèt. Epi dezyèm pilye a te tankou sila a, menm ak grenad yo.
23 There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
Te gen katre-ven-sèz grenad byen parèt; tout nan grenad yo te kontwole an santèn, sou sistèm mèch la toupatou.
24 The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple doorkeepers.
Epi chèf kò gad la te pran Seraja, chèf prèt la, Sophonie, dezyèm wo prèt la, ak twa ofisye a tanp yo.
25 From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and seven of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
Anplis, li te pran soti nan vil la, yon ofisye ki te yon sipèvizè pou mesye lagè yo, sèt nan konseye wa ki te twouve nan vil yo, grefye a wo kòmandan ki te òganize pèp peyi a ak swasant mesye a pèp ki te twouve nan mitan vil yo.
26 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad la te pran yo e te mennen yo kote wa Babylone nan Ribla.
27 The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their land.
Epi wa Babylone nan te frape yo mete a lanmò nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath la. Konsa, Juda te mennen ale an egzil kite peyi li.
28 This is a record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile. In the seventh year of his reign he took 3,023 Judeans.
Sila yo se moun ke Nebucadnetsar te pote ale an egzil nan setyèm ane a: twa-mil-venn-twa Jwif;
29 In his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 from Jerusalem.
nan diz-uityèm ane Nebucadnetsar a, ui-san-trant-de moun ki sòti Jérusalem;
30 In his twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took another 745 Judeans, making a total of 4,600.
nan venn-twazyèm ane a Nebucadnetsar a, Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad yo te pote an egzil sèt-san-karant-senk Jwif. Nom de moun antou te kat-mil moun.
31 In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
Alò, li te vin rive nan trant-setyèm ane egzil Jojakin, wa Juda a, nan douzyèm mwa a, sou venn-senkyèm jou a mwa a, ke Évil-Merodac, wa Babylone nan, nan premye ane règn li a, te montre favè li a Jojakin, wa Juda a, e te lage li nan prizon.
32 The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there with him in Babylon.
Konsa, li te pale dousman avèk li e te mete twòn li pi wo pase twòn a wa ki te avèk li Babylone yo.
33 So Jehoiachin was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently at the king's table for the rest of his life.
Konsa, Jojakin te chanje rad prizonye li a, e te pran repa li nan prezans a wa a pandan tout rès jou lavi li yo.
34 The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
Pou okipe li, li te resevwa yon pòsyon nòmal chak jou pandan tout rès jou lavi li, jis rive jou li te mouri an.
