2 Istwa 36
1 Alò, pèp peyi a te pran Joachaz, fis Josias la, e yo te fè li wa nan plas papa li Jérusalem.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and they anointed him and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.
2 Joachaz te gen venn-twazan lè l te vin wa, e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Epi wa Egypte la te retire li sou pouvwa a Jérusalem, e li te egzije yon kontribisyon de san talan ajan ak yon talan lò sou peyi a.
The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Wa Egypte la te fè Éliakim, frè l la, wa sou Juda avèk Jérusalem, e li te chanje non li an Jojakim. Men Néco te pran frè li a, Joachaz e te mennen li an Égypte.
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 laj a venn-senkan lè l te devni wa e li te renye onzan Jérusalem. Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
6 Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te monte kont li, e te mare li avèk chenn an bwonz pou mennen li Babylone.
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Anplis, Nebucadnetsar te mennen kèk nan bagay ki sòti lakay SENYÈ a Babylone, e te mete yo nan tanp Babylone nan.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jojakim yo avèk abominasyon ke li te fè yo, ak sa ki te twouve kont li yo, men vwala, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa A Israël Avèk Juda yo. Epi Jojakin, fis li a, te vin 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, look, 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 laj a uitan lè l te vin wa, e li te renye twa mwa avèk dis jou Jérusalem. Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
10 Nan kòmansman ane a, Wa Nebucadnetsar te mennen li Babylone avèk bagay byen chè ki te sòti lakay SENYÈ a. Li te fè moun fanmi li, Sédécias, wa sou Juda avèk Jérusalem.
At the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his relative king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Sédécias te gen laj a ven-te-yen nan lè l te vin wa e li te renye pandan onzan Jérusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:
12 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye li a. Li pa t imilye li menm devan Jérémie, pwofèt ki te pale pou SENYÈ a.
and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
13 Anplis, li te fè rebèl kont Wa Nebucadnetsar ki te fè li sèmante fidelite pou Bondye. Men li te fè tèt di, e avèk kè di, li te refize vire vè SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël 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 Epi, ofisye a prèt yo avèk pèp la te manke fidèl anpil nan swiv tout abominasyon a nasyon yo, e yo te konwonpi kay ke SENYÈ a te fè sen Jérusalem nan.
Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of the LORD which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, te voye kote yo tout tan pa mesaje pa Li yo, akoz li te gen mizerikòd vè pèp li a ak sou kote ke Li te abite 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 te giyonnen mesaje Bondye yo, yo te meprize pawòl Li, e yo te moke pwofèt Li yo, jiskaske kòlè SENYÈ a te leve kont pèp Li a jiskaske pa t gen remèd pou sa.
but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
17 Akoz sa, Li te mennen kont yo wa a Kaldeyen yo ki te touye jennonm yo avèk nepe nan kay sanktyè yo a, e Li pa t fè gras pou jèn moun, ni vyèj, ni granmoun, ni moun enfim. Li te livre tout nan men li.
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 gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.
18 Tout bagay ki te sòti lakay SENYÈ a, gran kon piti, trezò lakay SENYÈ a ak trezò a wa yo avèk ofisye li yo, li te mennen tout Babylone.
All the vessels of God's house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his officials, all these he brought to Babylon.
19 Anfen, yo te brile kay Bondye a, yo te kraze miray Jérusalem nan, yo te brile tout konstriksyon fòtifye li yo avèk dife, e yo te detwi tout bagay valab li yo.
They burnt God's house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.
20 Sila ki te chape anba nepe yo, li te pote yo ale Babylone; epi yo te sèvitè li avèk fis li jiskaske wayòm Perse la te vin monte.
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 Sa te fèt pou fin akonpli pawòl SENYÈ a pa bouch a Jérémie, jiskaske tè a te fin rejwi de tout Saba li yo. Pandan tout jou dezolasyon li yo, li te kenbe Saba a jiskaske swasann-dizan an te fin pase.
to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
22 Alò, nan premye ane Cyrus la, Perse la—-pou l te kab akonpli pawòl SENYÈ a pa bouch Jérémie——SENYÈ a te boulvèse lespri a Cyrus, wa Perse la, pou li ta voye yon pwoklamasyon toupatou nan wayòm li an e anplis, ekri li pou di:
Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23 Konsa pale Cyrus, wa Perse la: “SENYÈ a, Bondye Syèl la, te ban mwen tout wayòm yo sou latè, e Li te mete m anba lòd pou bati pou Li yon kay Jérusalem, ki nan Juda. Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye pa li a, kapab avèk li e kite li monte.”
"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, '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.'"
