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 cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, come hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encampeth against it, and buildeth against it a fortification round about.
2 Yo sènen l' nèt. Yo fèmen lavil la depi lè sa a rive sou onzyèm lanne reny Sedesyas la.
And the city entereth into siege till 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.
on the ninth of the month — when the famine is severe in the city, and there hath not been 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.
then the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the city round about, and [the king] goeth 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 pursue after the king, and overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from 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 seize the king, and bring him up unto the king of Babylon, to Riblah, and they speak with him — judgment.
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 the sons of Zedekiah they have slaughtered before his eyes, and the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and bindeth him with brazen fetters, and they bring 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 of the month (it [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), hath Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, come 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 burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, yea, every great house he hath burned 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 have all the forces of the Chaldeans, who [are] with the chief of the executioners, broken 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, those left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, hath Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners removed;
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.
and of the poor of the land hath the chief of the executioners left for vine-dressers and for 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 brass that [are] in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the sea of brass, that [is] in the house of Jehovah, have the Chaldeans broken in pieces, and bear away 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 pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they minister they have taken,
15 Chèf lagad la pran kivèt yo, recho yo ak dènye bagay ki te fèt an lò ak an ajan:
and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, hath the chief of the executioners taken.
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 that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah, there was no weighing of the brass of all these 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.
eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the chapiter on it [is] of brass, and the height of the chapiter [is] three cubits, and the net and the pomegranates [are] on the chapiter round about — the whole [is] of brass; and like these hath the second pillar, with the net.
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 chief of the executioners taketh Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
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 hath taken a certain eunuch who is appointed over the men of war, and five men of those seeing the king's face who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host, who mustereth the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city,
20 Neboucharadan pran yo, li mennen yo bay wa Babilòn lan lavil Ribla.
and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners taketh them, and causeth them to go unto the king of Babylon, to Libnah,
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 smiteth them, and putteth them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removeth Judah from off its 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 the people that is left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath left — he appointeth over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, 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 all the heads of the forces hear — they and the men — that the king of Babylon hath appointed Gedaliah, and they come in unto Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite — 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 Gedaliah sweareth to them, and to their men, and saith to them, 'Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is good for 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 cometh to pass, in the seventh month, come hath Ishmael son of Nathaniah, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him, and they smite Gedaliah, and he dieth, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have been with him in 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 all the people rise, from small even unto great, and the heads of the forces, and come in to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence 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 cometh to pass, in the thirty and seventh year of the removal of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty and seventh of the month hath Evil-Merodach king of Babylon lifted up, in the year of his reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
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 speaketh with him good things and putteth his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] 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 hath changed the garments of his restraint, and he hath eaten bread continually before him all 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 — a continual allowance — hath been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all days of his life.
