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.
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
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 against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by 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 at the commandment of the LORD came [this] upon Judah, to remove [them] out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
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 that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, [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.
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
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.
And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
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 began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother’s name [was] Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke papa li te konn fè yo.
And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that 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 came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
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 against the city, and his servants did besiege 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.
And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
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.
And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
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.
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, [even] ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
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.
And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, [those] carried he into captivity 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.
And all the men of might, [even] seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all [that were] strong [and] apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 Epi wa Babylone nan te fè tonton Jokajin nan, Matthania, wa nan plas li e li te chanje non li an Sédécias.
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father’s brother king in his stead, 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 and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name [was] Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke Jojakim te konn fè yo.
And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that 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 through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
