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, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a Wa Sédécias la.
And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
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.
And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the 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 the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about: ) and [the king] went the way toward the plain.
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 his army were scattered from 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 up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they 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 they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried 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.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the month, which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto 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 all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man’s] house burnt he 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, that [were with] the captain of the guard, brake 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.
Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
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 the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land [to be] vinedressers 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 house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried 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.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
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.
And the firepans, and the bowls, [and] such things as [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the guard 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.
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house 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.
The height of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it [was] brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18 Alò, kapitèn gad la te pran Seraja, wo prèt la, avèk Sophonie, dezyèm prèt la, avèk twa ofisye a tanp lan.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
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 he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land [that were] found in the city:
20 Nebuzaradan, kapitèn gad la, te pran yo pou te mennen yo kote wa Babylone nan Ribla.
And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
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 Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah 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.
And [as for] the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
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 armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, 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 Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell 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 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
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 small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of 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 Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah 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 spake kindly to him, and 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 changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually 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 his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
