2 Wa 25
1 Se konsa sou dizyèm jou dizyèm mwa nevyèm lanne depi Sedesyas te wa a, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, vin atake lavil Jerizalèm ak tout lame li a. Yo moute kan yo devan miray lavil la, yo mete ranblè nan tout pye miray yo.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem; and he encamped against it, and built a mound against it.
2 Yo sènen l' nèt. Yo fèmen lavil la depi lè sa a rive sou onzyèm lanne reny Sedesyas la.
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedekias on the ninth day of the month.
3 Sou nevyèm jou katriyèm mwa menm lanne sa a, te gen yon sèl grangou nan lavil la, moun yo pa t' gen anyen pou yo manje ankò.
And the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Yo fè yon twou nan miray yo. Atout lame moun Babilòn yo te sènen lavil la nèt, tout sòlda jwif yo mete deyò kite lavil la nan mitan lannwit. Yo pase nan mitan jaden wa a, yo desann nan wout pòtay la nan mitan de miray yo, yo pran chemen fon Jouden an pou yo.
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went forth by night, by the way of the gate between the walls, this is [the gate] of the king's garden: and the Chaldeans [were set] against the city round about: and [the king] went by the way of the plain.
5 Men, lame moun Babilòn yo pousib wa Sedesyas. Lè yo rive nan plenn bò lavil Jeriko yo, yo mete men sou li. Lè sa a, tout sòlda li yo gaye, yo kouri kite l'.
And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was dispersed from about him.
6 Sòlda lènmi yo pran wa a, yo mennen l' bay wa Babilòn lan ki te lavil Ribla. Se la Nèbikadneza jije li.
And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha; and he gave judgement upon him.
7 Antan yo lavil Ribla, li fè yo koupe kou tout pitit wa Sedesyas yo devan wa a, papa yo. Lèfini, li fè yo pete tou de je wa Sedesyas, epi yo mare l' ak de gwo chenn fèt an kwiv. Yo mennen l' lavil Babilòn.
And he killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
8 Sou setyèm jou senkyèm mwa nan diznevyèm lanne reny Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, yonn nan konseye li yo, antre lavil Jerizalèm.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (this [is] the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon), came Nabuzardan, captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
9 Li met dife nan kay Bondye a ak nan palè wa a. Li boule dènye kay ki te lavil Jerizalèm, ata kay grannèg yo.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every house did the captain of the guard burn.
10 Li bay sòlda ki te avè l' yo lòd demoli tout gwo miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm yo met atè.
And the force of the Chaldeans pulled down the wall of Jerusalem round about.
11 Lèfini, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, pran rès moun yo te kite nan lavil la, li depòte yo lavil Babilòn ansanm ak tout moun ki te vin rann tèt yo bay wa Babilòn lan ak tout bon bòs ki te rete nan lavil la.
And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard removed the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the men who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
12 Men, li kite kèk moun nan mas pèp la, nan sa ki te pi pòv yo. Li ba yo jaden rezen ak lòt jaden pou yo okipe.
But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
13 Moun Babilòn yo pran gwo poto kwiv yo ki te nan Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak sipò yo ak basin kwiv yo. Yo kraze yo an ti moso, yo pote kwiv la ale lavil Babilòn.
And the Chaldeans broke to pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and carried their brass to Babylon.
14 Yo pran plat pou resevwa sann yo, pèl yo, kouto yo, gode yo, tas yo, kiyè yo ak tout lòt bagay an kwiv yo te konn sèvi nan tanp lan.
And the cauldrons, and the shovels, and the bowls, and the censers, and all the brazen vessels with which they minister, he took.
15 Chèf lagad la pran kivèt yo, recho yo ak dènye bagay ki te fèt an lò ak an ajan:
And the captain of the guard took the fire-pans, and the gold and silver bowls.
16 de gwo poto won yo, gwo basin lan ak douz estati towo bèf ki te sèvi l' sipò yo, ak kabwèt wa Salomon te fè fè an kwiv pou mete nan Tanp lan. Tout bagay sa yo te lou anpil, pesonn pa t' konn pèz yo.
Two pillars, and one sea, and the bases which Solomon made for the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all the vessels.
17 Chak poto te gen vennsèt pye wotè. Sou tèt chak poto te gen yon blòk an kwiv sèt pye edmi wotè. Sou tout wonn tèt poto yo, te gen desen ti chenn makònen yonn ak lòt ak anpil pòtre grenad plake sou yo. Tout te fèt an kwiv. De poto yo te parèy.
The height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was of brass: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits: the border, and the pomegranates on the chapiter round about were all of brass: and so it was with the second pillar with its border.
18 Lèfini, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, pran Seraja, granprèt la, Sefanya, adjwen granprèt la, ansanm ak twa lòt gwo chèf nan Tanp lan, li fè yo prizonye.
And the captain of the guard took Saraias the high-priest, and Sophonias the second in order, and the three doorkeepers.
19 Nan lavil la, li pran chèf ki te kòmandan lame a ansanm ak senk lòt otorite ki te konseye wa a, ak sekretè kòmandan lame a ki te reskonsab pou pran moun nan lame a, ak swasant lòt grannèg. Tout moun sa yo te nan lavil la toujou.
And they took out of the city one eunuch who was commander of the men of war, and five men that saw the face of the king, that were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander-in-chief, who took account of the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city.
20 Neboucharadan pran yo, li mennen yo bay wa Babilòn lan lavil Ribla.
And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 Wa a fè bat yo, lèfini, li fè touye yo lavil Ribla nan peyi Amat. Se konsa yo te depòte moun Jida yo byen lwen peyi yo.
And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Reblatha in the land of Aemath. So Juda was carried away from his land.
22 Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pran Gedalya, pitit Achikam, pitit pitit Chafan, li mete l' chèf sou rès moun li te kite nan peyi a.
And [as for] the people that were left in the land of Juda, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon left, even over them he set Godolias son of Achicam son of Saphan.
23 Rès chèf lame yo ansanm ak sòlda yo vin konnen wa Babilòn lan te mete Gedalya chèf sou tout peyi a. Se konsa Ismayèl, pitit Netanya, Joanan, pitit Karèd, Seraja, pitit Tannoumèt, moun lavil Netofa, ansanm ak Zezanya, pitit Makan, yo moute lavil Mispa, y' al jwenn Gedalya ansanm ak tout sòlda yo.
And all the captains of the host, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had [thus] appointed Godolias, and they came to Godolias to Massephath, both Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Jona son of Careth, and Saraias, son of Thanamath the Netophathite, and Jezonias son of a Machathite, they and their men.
24 Gedalya di yo: —Mwen ban nou pawòl mwen, nou pa bezwen pè soumèt devan moun Babilòn yo. Rete nan peyi a. Sevi wa Babilòn lan. Tout bagay va mache byen pou nou.
And Godolias swore to them and their men, and said to them, Fear not the incursion of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Nan setyèm mwa a menm lanne sa a, Ismayèl, pitit Netanya, pitit pitit Elichama, rive Mispa ansanm ak dis lòt moun. Ismayèl te yon ti fanmi wa a. Yo touye Gedalya ansanm ak tout gason jwif ki te lavil Mispa avèk Gedalya. Yo touye tout sòlda moun Babilòn ki te la tou.
And it came to pass in the seventh month [that] Ismael son of Nathanias son of Helisama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and he struck Godolias, that he died, [him] and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him in Massepha.
26 Lè sa a, tout moun, granmoun kou timoun, ansanm ak chèf lame yo leve, yo desann peyi Lejip paske yo te pè moun Babilòn yo.
And all the people, great and small rose up, [they] and the captains of the forces, and went into Egypt; because they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 Premye lanne wa Evilmewodak pran pouvwa a lavil Babilòn, li fè pa Jojakin, wa Jida a, li fè l' soti nan prizon. Lè sa a, Jojakin te gen trannsizan, onz mwa vennsèt jou, jou pou jou, depi yo te depòte l'.
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the carrying away of Joachim king of Juda, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, [that] Evialmarodec king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Joachim king of Juda, and brought him out of his prison-house.
28 Evilmewodak te sèvi byen avè l', li ba l' premye plas nan mitan tout lòt wa yo te depòte lavil Babilòn tankou l' yo.
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29 Li wete rad prizonye ki te sou Jojakin lan, li fè l' vin manje sou menm tab avè l' chak jou jouk Jojakin mouri.
And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30 Chak jou, wa a ba li sa li te bezwen pou l' viv, konsa, konsa, jouk li mouri.
And his portion, a continual portion, was given him out of the house of the king, a daily rate for every day all the days of his life.
