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, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built a mound all around about 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 put in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
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 on the ninth of the month, when 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.
The city was broken into, and all the men of war [fled] in the night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were all round about the city; ] and the people went the way toward 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 army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from around 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 seized the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they called him to account.
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 they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried 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, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebusaradan, the chief of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto 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; also, all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
10 Li bay sòlda ki te avè l' yo lòd demoli tout gwo miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm yo met atè.
And the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the guard tear down.
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 the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had run over to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebusaradan the captain of the guard lead away into exile;
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 from the poorest of the land the captain of the guard left some 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 pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break up, and they carried the copper thereof 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 pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 Chèf lagad la pran kivèt yo, recho yo ak dènye bagay ki te fèt an lò ak an ajan:
And the censers, and the bowls, the gold of the golden things, and the silver of the silver things, took the captain of the guard away.
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.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels was too much to be weighed.
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.
Eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and the capital upon it was copper; and the height of the capital was three cubits; and the wreathed work, and the pomegranates upon the capitals round about, were all of copper: and the same had the second pillar together with the wreathed work.
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 Serayah the chief-priest, and Zephanyahu the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
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 out of the city he took one court-officer that was appointed over the men of war, and five men of those that could come into the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army 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 Nebusaradan the captain of the guard took these, and conducted them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
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 smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Chamath. So did Judah wander away into exile out of their 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 Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had left, he appointed over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shaphan.
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 when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedalyahu, they came to Gedalyahu to Mizpah; even Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, and Jochanan the son of Kareach, and Serayah the son of Tanchumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazanyahu the son of a Ma'achathite, 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 Gedalyahu swore to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans: remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it will 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.
But it happened in the seventh month, that there came Ishma'el the son of Nethanyah, the son of Elishama', of the seed royal, and ten men with him, and they smote Gedalyahu, so that he died, also the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
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 then arose all the people, from small to great, and the captains of the armies, and went to Egypt; for 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 seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the year that he became king did lift up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah out of the prison;
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 chair above the chair 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 allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, all the days of his life.
