2 Wa 24
1 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'.
In his days hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and Jehoiakim is to him a servant three years; and he turneth and rebelleth against him,
2 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.
and Jehovah sendeth against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sendeth them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servants the prophets;
3 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,
only, by the command of Jehovah it hath been against Judah to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 ak pou kantite moun inonsan li te touye jouk tout lari Jerizalèm te plen san. Seyè a pa t' vle padonnen ankò.
and also the innocent blood that he hath shed, and he filleth Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah was not willing to forgive.
5 Tout rès istwa Jojakim lan, sa li te fè yo, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 Lè Jojakim mouri se Jojakin, pitit gason li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.
And Jehoiakim lieth with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigneth in his stead.
7 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.
And the king of Egypt hath not added any more to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon hath taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Phrat, all that had been to the king of Egypt.
8 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.
A son of eighteen years [is] Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
9 Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a tankou papa l'.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
10 Se sou reny li lame Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, te mache sou lavil Jerizalèm. Yo sènen lavil la.
At that time come up have servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city goeth into siege,
11 Pandan lame a te sènen lavil la, Nèbikadneza vin atake lavil la li menm menm.
and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon cometh against the city, and his servants are laying siege to it,
12 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.
and Jehoiachin king of Judah goeth out unto the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon taketh him in the eighth year of his reign,
13 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.
and bringeth out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cutteth in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had spoken.
14 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.
And he hath removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty ones of valour — ten thousand [is] the removal — and every artificer and smith, none hath been left save the poor of the people of the land.
15 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.
And he removeth Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land — he hath caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 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.
and all the men of valour seven thousand, and the artificers and the smiths a thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon bringeth them in a captivity to Babylon.
17 Apre sa, Nèbikadneza pran Matanya, tonton wa Jojakin, li mete l' wa nan peyi Jida. Li chanje non l', li rele l' Sedesyas.
And the king of Babylon causeth Mattaniah his father's brother to reign in his stead, and turneth his name to Zedekiah.
18 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.
A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
19 Wa Sedesyas te fè sa ki mal devan Bondye menm jan ak Jojakin.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah according to all that Jehoiakim did,
20 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.
for, by the anger of Jehovah it hath been against Jerusalem and against Judah, till he cast them out from His presence, that Zedekiah rebelleth against the king of Babylon.
