2 Wa 24
1 Nan jou pa li yo, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te monte e Jojakim te vin sèvitè li pandan twazan. Epi, konsa, li te vire fè rebèl kont li.
During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded. So Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years, until he turned and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
2 SENYÈ a te voye kont li twoup a Kaldeyen yo, twoup a Siryen yo, twoup Moabit yo ak twoup Amonit yo. Li te voye yo kont Juda pou detwi li, selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè li yo, pwofèt yo.
And the LORD sent Chaldean, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiders against Jehoiakim in order to destroy Judah, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servants the prophets.
3 Anverite, sou kòmand SENYÈ a, li te rive Juda, pou retire yo devan zye Li akoz peche a Manassé yo selon tout sa ke li te fè yo,
Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command, to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done,
4 anplis, ak san inosan li te vèse yo. Paske li te ranpli Jérusalem avèk san inosan e SENYÈ a pa t padone sa.
and also for the innocent blood he had shed. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was unwilling to forgive.
5 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jojakim yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Juda Yo?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
6 Konsa, Jojakim te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo e Jojakin, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
And Jehoiakim rested with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
7 Wa Égypte la pa t sòti nan peyi li ankò, paske wa Babylone nan te kaptire tout sa ki te pou wa Égypte la soti nan flèv Égypte la jis rive nan Rivyè Euphrate la.
Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
8 Jojakin te gen di-zuit ane lè li te devni wa e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Néhuschtha, fi a Elnathan an Jérusalem.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.
9 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa li te konn fè yo.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father had done.
10 Nan tan sa a, sèvitè a wa Babylone yo te monte Jérusalem e vil la te antre anba syèj.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
11 Epi Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te rive nan vil la pandan sèvitè li yo t ap fè syèj li.
And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it.
12 Jojakin, wa Juda a, te sòti kote wa a Babylone nan, li menm avèk manman li, sèvitè li yo avèk kapitèn li yo ak ofisye li yo. Konsa, wa a Babylone nan te pran li an kaptivite nan uityèm ane règn pa li a.
Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials all surrendered to the king of Babylon. So in the eighth year of his reign, the king of Babylon took him captive.
13 Li te pote fè sòti depi la, tout trezò lakay SENYÈ a ak trezò lakay wa a. Li te koupe an mòso tout veso lò ke Salomon, wa Israël la, te fè nan tanp SENYÈ a, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te di a.
As the LORD had declared, Nebuchadnezzar also carried off all the treasures from the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD.
14 Konsa, li te mennen an egzil tout Jérusalem avèk tout kapitèn ak tout moun avèk gwo kouraj yo; di-mil kaptif, avèk tout mèt ouvriye ak tout sila ki konn fòme oswa fonn metal yo.
He carried into exile all Jerusalem—all the commanders and mighty men of valor, all the craftsmen and metalsmiths—ten thousand captives in all. Only the poorest people of the land remained.
15 Konsa, li te mennen Jokajin sòti an egzil Babylone, anplis, manman a wa a avèk madanm li yo, ofisye li yo ak tout mesye ki te chèf dirijan peyi yo. Li te mennen yo ale an egzil soti Jérusalem jis rive Babylone.
Nebuchadnezzar carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, as well as the king’s mother, his wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land. He took them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 Tout mesye gwo kouraj ak pwisans yo, sèt-mil, mèt ouvriye yo, mil, tout te plen avèk fòs e pare pou fè lagè. Tout sila yo, wa Babylone nan te mennen an egzil Babylone.
The king of Babylon also brought into exile to Babylon all seven thousand men of valor and a thousand craftsmen and metalsmiths—all strong and fit for battle.
17 Epi wa Babylone nan te fè tonton Jokajin nan, Matthania, wa nan plas li e li te chanje non li an Sédécias.
Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Sédécias te gen laj a venteyen ane lè l te devni wa a, e li te renye pandan onzan Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Hamuthal, fis a Jérémie an nan Libna.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
19 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke Jojakim te konn fè yo.
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Paske akoz kòlè SENYÈ a, tout sa te rive Jérusalem avèk Juda jiskaske Li te jete yo deyò prezans Li. Epi Sédécias te fè rebèl kont wa Babylone nan.
For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
