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 of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his force unto Jerusalem, and they lay siege against 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 of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, hath the city been broken up;
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.
and come in do all the heads of the king of Babylon, and they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo, Sarsechim, chief of the eunuchs, Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the rest of the heads 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.
And it cometh to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah, and all the men of war, have seen them, that they flee and go forth by night from the city, the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls, and he goeth forth the way of the plain.
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.
And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him, and bring him up unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him — judgments.
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.
And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah, in Riblah, before his eyes, yea, all the freemen of Judah hath the king of Babylon slaughtered.
7 Epi li te avegle zye Sédécias, e te mare li ak braslè an bwonz pou mennen l Babylone.
And the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth him with brazen fetters, to bring him in 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.
And the house of the king, and the house of the people, have the Chaldeans burnt with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem they have broken down.
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.
And the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to him, and the remnant of the people who are left, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, removed [to] Babylon.
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.
And of the poor people, who have nothing, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left in the land of Judah, and he giveth to them vineyards and fields on the same day.
11 Alò, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te pase lòd de Jérémie pa Nebuzaradan, chèf gad la. Li te di:
And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon giveth a charge concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, saying,
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 place thine eyes upon him, and do no evil thing to him, but as he speaketh unto thee, so do with him.'
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,
And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners sendeth, and Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the Mages, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon;
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.
yea, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and give him unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwelleth in the midst of the people.
15 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote Jérémie pandan li te anprizone nan lakou kay gad la. Li te di:
And unto Jeremiah hath a word of Jehovah been — in his being detained in the court of the prison — 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.
'Go, and thou hast spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in My words unto this city for evil, and not for good, and they have been before thee in 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.
And I have delivered thee in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah — and thou art not given into the hand of the men of whose face thou art afraid,
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 do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast trusted in Me — an affirmation of Jehovah.'
