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 Jehoiakim's days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked Judah; Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then Jehoiakim turned back 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.
Yahweh sent against Jehoiakim bands of Chaldeans, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites; he sent them against Judah to destroy it. This was in conformity with the word of Yahweh that had been 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,
It was certainly at the mouth of Yahweh that this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, because of the sins of Manasseh, 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 because of the innocent blood that he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood. Yahweh was not willing to pardon that.
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 other matters concerning Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
Jehoiakim slept with his ancestors, and Jehoiachin his son became king 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.
The king of Egypt did not attack any more out of his land, because the king of Babylon had conquered all the lands that had been controlled by the king of Egypt, 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 began to reign; he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother's name was Nehushta; she was 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.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did 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 army of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged the city.
11 Epi Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te rive nan vil la pandan sèvitè li yo t ap fè syèj li.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his soldiers 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.
and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers. The king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his own 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.
Nebuchadnezzar took out from there all the valuable things in the house of Yahweh, and those in the king's palace. He cut into pieces all the golden objects that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, as Yahweh had said would happen.
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 took into exile all Jerusalem, all the leaders, and all the fighting men, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one was left except the poorest people in 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.
Nebuchadnezzar took Jehoiachin into exile at Babylon, as well as the king's mother, wives, officers, and the chief 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.
All the fighting men, seven thousand in number, and one thousand craftsmen and blacksmiths, all of them fit for fighting—the king of Babylon brought these men into exile at Babylon.
17 Epi wa Babylone nan te fè tonton Jokajin nan, Matthania, wa nan plas li e li te chanje non li an Sédécias.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, 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 began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
19 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, selon tout sa ke Jojakim te konn fè yo.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did 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.
Through Yahweh's anger, all these events happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he drove them out of his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
