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.
And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.
2 Joachaz te gen venn-twazan lè l te vin wa, e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem.
A son of three and twenty years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned 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.
and turn him aside doth the king of Egypt in Jerusalem, and fineth the land a 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.
and the king of Egypt causeth Eliakim his brother to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim; and Jehoahaz his brother hath Necho taken, and bringeth him in 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.
A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah 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 hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and bindeth him in brazen fetters to take him away to Babylon.
7 Anplis, Nebucadnetsar te mennen kèk nan bagay ki sòti lakay SENYÈ a Babylone, e te mete yo nan tanp Babylone nan.
And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his temple in 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.
And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he hath done, and that which is found against him, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, and reign doth Jehoiachin his son in his stead.
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.
A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
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.
and at the turn of the year hath king Nebuchadnezzar sent and bringeth him in to Babylon, with the desirable vessels of the house of Jehovah, and causeth Zedekiah his brother to reign 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.
A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God, he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah;
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.
and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled, who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck, and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah, 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.
Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of Jehovah that He hath sanctified 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;
And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by the hand of His messengers — rising early and sending — for He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation,
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.
and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people — till there is no healing.
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.
And He causeth to go up against them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged — the whole He hath given 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.
And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes — the whole he hath brought in 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.
And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and all its desirable vessels — to destruction.
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.
And he removeth those left of the sword unto Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning 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 fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept sabbath — to the fulness of 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:
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah, hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and 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 said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God [is] with him, and he doth go up.'
