2 Wa 25
1 Alò nan nevyèm ane règn li an, nan dizyèm jou ak nan dezyèm mwa a, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te vini. Li menm avèk tout lame li te fè kan kont Jérusalem, e li te bati yon miray syèj ki te antoure li.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.
2 Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a Wa Sédécias la.
And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
3 Nan nevyèm jou ak nan katriyèm mwa a, grangou te tèlman rèd nan vil la ke pa t gen manje pou pèp peyi a.
The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Konsa, yo te kase vil la antre e tout mesye lagè yo te sove ale nan nwit lan pa pòtay antre de mi yo akote jaden a wa a, malgre Kaldeyen yo te antoure tout vil la. Konsa, yo te sòti pa chemen dezè a.
And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king’s garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about, ) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Men lame Kaldeyen yo te kouri dèyè wa a. Yo te rive pran li nan plèn Jéricho a, e tout lame li a te gaye kite li.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
6 Yo te kaptire wa a e yo te mennen li kote wa Babylone nan Ribla e yo te pase jijman sou li.
So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
7 Yo te touye fis a Sédécias yo devan zye li, yo te pete zye a Sédécias, yo te mare l avèk chenn an bwonz yo, e yo te mennen li Babylone.
And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.
8 Alò, nan setyèm jou ak nan senkyèm mwa a, ki se te diznevyèm ane Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, Nebuzaradan, kapitèn gad yo, yon sèvitè a wa Babylone nan, te rive Jérusalem.
In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
9 Li te brile lakay SENYÈ a, lakay wa a ak tout kay Jérusalem yo. Menm tout gwo kay yo, li te brile yo avèk dife.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
10 Epi tout lame Kaldeyen yo ki te avèk kapitèn gad la te kraze, chire, tout mi ki te antoure Jérusalem yo.
And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Epi tout rès nan moun ki te kite lavil yo, sila ki te dezète al jwenn wa Babylone nan e tout rès pèp la ki te rete, Nébuzaraden, kapitèn gad la, te pote yo ale an egzil.
And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Men kapitèn gad la te kite kèk moun pami pi malere yo pou sèvi kòm ouvriye nan chan rezen yo ak pou raboure tè a.
But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
13 Alò, pilye an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ yo ak baz avèk lanmè an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ a, Kaldeyen yo te kase yo an mòso e te pote bwonz lan Babylone.
And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Yo te retire po yo, pèl yo, etennwa yo, kiyè yo ak tout veso an bwonz ki te konn sèvi nan sèvis tanp lan.
They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 Kòmandan gad la, anplis, te pran tout plato pou resevwa sann yo, avèk basen yo, sila ki te an lò fen ak sila ki te an ajan fen yo.
Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
16 De pilye yo, yon sèl lanmè a ak baz ke Salomon te fè pou lakay SENYÈ a, bwonz nan veso sila yo te depase kapasite pou peze.
That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Wotè a yon pilye te di-zuit koude e yon tèt an bwonz te sou li. Wotè a tèt an bwonz lan te twa koude, avèk yon griyaj ak grenad ki te antoure li an bwonz. Epi dezyèm pilye a te tankou sila yo avèk yon sistèm griyaj.
One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
18 Alò, kapitèn gad la te pran Seraja, wo prèt la, avèk Sophonie, dezyèm prèt la, avèk twa ofisye a tanp lan.
And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
19 Depi nan vil la, li te pran yon ofisye ki te chèf mesye lagè yo ak senk nan konseye a wa yo ki te twouve nan vil la; epi grefye a kapitèn lame ki te responsab anrejistre moun nan peyi a; epi swasant moun nan pèp peyi a te twouve nan vil la.
And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
20 Nebuzaradan, kapitèn gad la, te pran yo pou te mennen yo kote wa Babylone nan Ribla.
These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 Alò, wa Babylone nan te frape yo e te mete yo a lanmò nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath. Konsa, Juda te mennen an egzil soti nan peyi li.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land.
22 Alò, moun ki te rete nan peyi Juda yo, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te kite, li te chwazi Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan, fis a Schaphan an sou yo.
But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
23 Lè tout kapitèn yo avèk sòlda pa yo te tande ke wa Babylone nan te chwazi Guedalia kòm gouvènè, yo te vin kote Guedalia nan Mitspa; pa non, Ismaël fis a Nethania a, avèk Jochanan, fis a Karéach la, Seraja, fis a Thanhumeth la, Netofayit la, avèk Jaazania, fis a Maakatyen an, yo menm avèk mesye pa yo.
And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
24 Guedalia te sèmante a yo avèk mesye pa yo a, e te di yo: “Pa pè vin sèvitè a Kaldeyen yo. Viv nan peyi a, sèvi wa Babylone nan e sa va ale byen pou nou.”
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Men li te vin rive nan setyèm mwa a, ke Ismaël, fis a Nethania yo, fis a Élischama yo nan fanmi wayal la, te rive avèk dis òm pou te frape Guedalia e li te mouri ansanm avèk Jwif ak Kaldeyen ki te avèk li nan Mitspa yo.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
26 Alò, tout pèp la, ni gran ni piti, avèk kapitèn a fòs soulèvman yo te leve ale an Égypte; paske yo te pè Kaldeyen yo.
And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
27 Alò, li te vin rive nan trant-setyèm ane an egzil a Jojakin, wa Juda a, nan douzyèm mwa a, nan venn-setyèm jou nan mwa a, ke Évil-Merodac, wa Babylone nan, nan lane ke li te vin wa a, li te lage Jojakin, wa Juda a, soti nan prizon.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.
28 Konsa, li te pale avèk dousè anvè li e li te leve twòn li an piwo pase lòt wa ki te avèk li Babylone yo.
And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
29 Jojakin te chanje rad prizonye li yo, e li te vin pran repa l nan prezans a wa a pandan tout rès jou lavi li.
And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
30 Epi pou bous li, yon bous nòmal te bay a li menm pa wa a, yon pòsyon pou chak jou pandan tout jou lavi li.
And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
