2 Istwa 36
1 Moun peyi Jida yo chwazi Joakaz, pitit gason Joas la, yo mete l' wa nan plas papa l'.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
2 Joakaz te gen venntwazan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Neko, wa peyi Lejip la, mete l' atè, li fòse peyi Jida a ba li sètmil senksan (7500) liv ajan ak swasannkenz liv lò.
The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 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.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 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.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.
6 Nebikadneza, wa Babilòn, anvayi peyi Jida, li fè wa Jojakim prizonye, li mete l' anba chenn doub, li mennen l' lavil Babilòn.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebikadneza pran tout bèl bagay ki te nan Tanp Seyè a, li pote yo lavil Babilòn, li mete yo nan tanp bondye pa l'.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
9 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.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
10 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.
At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Sedesyas te gen venteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li pase onzan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, li pa t' soumèt devan pwofèt Jeremi ki t'ap pale pawòl Bondye nan zòrèy li.
He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.
13 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.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
14 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.
Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 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.
The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
16 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.
but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
17 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.
Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
18 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.
All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
19 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.
They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
20 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.
He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
21 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.
to fulfill the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
22 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:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23 -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.
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
