Jeremi 39
1 Alò, lè Jérusalem te vin kaptire nan nevyèm ane pouvwa Sédécias la, wa Juda a, nan dizyèm mwa, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, ak tout lame li te rive kote Jérusalem pou te fè syèj sou li.
In the ninth year and tenth month of Zedekiah king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and besieged it.
2 Nan onzyèm ane pouvwa Sédécias la, nan katriyèm mwa a, nan nevyèm jou nan mwa a, yon brèch te fèt nan miray vil la.
In the eleventh year and fourth month of Zedekiah, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken into.
3 Epi tout ofisye a wa Babylone yo te antre ladann. Yo te chita bò kote Pòtay Mitan a; Nergal-Scharetser, Samgar-Nebu, Sarsekim, chèf a enik yo, Nergal-Sar-Ezer, chèf a majisyen yo, ak tout rès chèf a wa Babylon yo.
Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came and sat in the middle gate: Nebo-Sarsekim, Samgar Nebo, and Sarsechim, an important official. Nebo-Sarsekim was a high official and all the rest were the officials of the king of Babylon.
4 Lè Sédécias, wa Juda a, ak tout mesye lagè yo te wè yo, yo te sove ale e te ale deyò lavil la nan nwit lan pa chemen jaden a wa a, atravè pòtay antre de miray yo. Konsa li te sove ale vè dezè a.
It happened that when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all his fighting men saw them, they fled. They went out at night from the city by the king's garden path, through the gate between the two walls. The king went out in the direction of the Arabah.
5 Men lame Kaldeyen yo te kouri dèyè yo e te kaptire Sédécias nan plèn Jéricho. Yo te sezi li e te mennen li monte kote Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, nan Ribla, nan peyi a Hamath la. Epi li te pwononse jijman sou li.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. Then they captured him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him.
6 Epi wa Babylone nan te touye fis a Sédécias yo, devan zye l nan Ribla. Anplis, wa Babylone nan te touye tout mesye enpòtan Juda yo.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes at Riblah. He also slaughtered all the noblemen of Judah.
7 Epi li te avegle zye Sédécias, e te mare li ak braslè an bwonz pou mennen l Babylone.
Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes and bound him in bronze chains in order to take him to Babylon.
8 Anplis, Kaldeyen yo te brile palè wa a ak dife avèk kay a pèp la, e yo te kraze miray Jérusalem yo.
Then the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the people's houses. They also tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 Tout rès pèp la ki te rete lavil la, ak sila ki te abandone vil la, ki te janbe kote li, e retay ki te rete nan vil la, Nebuzaradan, chèf gad yo, te pote yo an egzil Babylone.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, took into exile the rest of the people who were left in the city. This included the people who had deserted to the Chaldeans and the rest of the people who were left in the city.
10 Men kèk nan sila ki te malere nèt yo, ki pa t gen anyen yo, Nebuzaradan, chèf gad yo, te kite yo dèyè nan peyi Juda, e te bay yo chan rezen ak chan pou yo kiltive nan menm lè sa a.
But Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards allowed the poorest people who had nothing for themselves to remain in the land of Judah. He gave them vineyards and fields on that same day.
11 Alò, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pase lòd de Jérémie pa Nebuzaradan, chèf gad la. Li te di:
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had given an order about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards. He had said,
12 “Pran l e okipe l, pa fè l anyen ki mal, men pito aji avèk li jan li mande ou a.”
“Take him and care for him. Do not harm him. Do for him anything he tells you.”
13 Konsa Nebuzaradan, chèf gad yo, te voye pawòl pa Nebuschazban, chèf a enik yo, Nergal-Scharetser, chèf a majisyen yo, ak tout chèf a wa Babylone yo,
So Nebuzaradan the commander of the king's bodyguards, Nebushazban the high eunuch, Nergal-Sharezer the high official, and all the most important officials of the king of Babylon sent men out.
14 te voye retire Jérémie sòti nan lakou kay gad la e te fè Guedalia, fis Achikam, fis a Schaphan nan, responsab pou mennen li lakay li. Konsa, li te rete pami pèp li a.
Their men took Jeremiah from the courtyard of the guard and entrusted him to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to take him home, so Jeremiah stayed among the people.
15 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie pandan li te anprizone nan lakou kay gad la. Li te di:
Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah while he was under arrest in the courtyard of the guard, saying,
16 “Ale pale ak Ébed-Mélec, Etyopyen an pou di l: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou mennen pawòl Mwen yo sou vil sa a pou dezas e pa pou pwosperite. Konsa yo va fèt devan ou nan jou sa a.
“Speak to Ebed-Melek the Cushite and say, 'Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to carry out my words against this city for disaster and not for good. For they will all come true before you on that day.
17 Men mwen va delivre ou nan jou sa a,” deklare SENYÈ a: “Ou p ap livre nan men a moun sa yo ke ou pè yo.
But I will rescue you on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration—and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you fear.
18 Paske anverite, Mwen va sove ou e ou p ap tonbe anba nepe, men ou va gen lavi ou kon benefis, akoz ou te mete konfyans nan Mwen,” deklare SENYÈ a.’”
For I will certainly rescue you. You will not fall by the sword. You will escape with your life, since you trust in me—this was Yahweh's declaration.'”
