Jeremi 52
1 Sédécias te gen laj a venteyen ane lè l te devni wa a e li te renye pandan onz ane Jérusalem. Non manman l te Hamuthal, fi a Jérémie nan Libna a.
Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a tankou tout sa ke Jojakim te fè yo.
And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Paske akoz kòlè SENYÈ a, bagay sa a te rive Jérusalem ak Juda jiskaske Li te jete yo deyò prezans Li. Epi Sédécias te fè rebèl kont wa Babylone nan.
And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.
4 Alò, li te vin rive nan nevyèm ane règn li an, nan dizyèm jou nan dizyèm mwa a, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te vini, li menm ak tout lame li a, kont Jérusalem, te fè kan kont li e te bati yon miray syèj ki te antoure li.
And it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.
5 Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a wa Sédécias.
And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 Nan Nevyèm jou nan katriyèm mwa a, gwo grangou a te tèlman rèd nan vil la ke pa t gen manje pou pèp peyi a.
Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment for the people of the land.
7 Konsa yo te kase antre nan vil la, e tout mesye lagè yo te kouri kite vil la pandan lannwit lan bò kote pòtay ki te antre de miray ki te akote jaden a wa a. Sepandan, Kaldeyen yo te antoure vil la nèt. Yo te ale pa chemen Araba a vle di dezè a.
And the city was broken, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads to the wilderness.
8 Men lame Kaldeyen an te kouri dèyè wa a. Li te rive sou Sédécias nan plèn Jéricho e tout lame li a te gen tan gaye kite li.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away from him.
9 Epi yo te kaptire wa a. Yo te mennen li monte kote wa Babylone nan nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath, e li te kondane li la.
And when they had captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against him.
10 Wa Babylone nan te touye fis a Sédécias yo devan zye l e anplis, li te touye tout prens Juda yo Ribla.
And the king of Babylon cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.
11 Anplis, li te avegle zye a Sédécias. Konsa, wa Babylone nan te anprizone l ak braslè an bwonz, te mennen li Babylone, e te mete l nan prizon jis rive jou ke li te mouri an.
And he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until the day of his death.
12 Alò, nan dizyèm jou nan senkyèm mwa a, ki te diz-nevyèm ane a wa Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, Nebuzaradan, chèf an tèt kò gad la, ki te nan sèvis wa a Babylone nan, te rive Jérusalem.
Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.
13 Li te brile kay SENYÈ a lakay wa a, ak tout kay Jérusalem yo; menm tout gwo kay yo, li te brile yo ak dife.
And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.
14 Konsa, tout lame Kaldeyen ki te avèk chèf kò gad yo, te demoli tout miray ki te antoure Jérusalem yo.
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.
15 Epi Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad yo, te mennen, pote an egzil kèk nan moun ki pi malere pami pèp la, tout lòt moun ki te rete nan vil la, sila ki te dezète Jérusalem yo pou ale kote wa Babylone nan ak tout rès moun metye yo.
Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Men Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad la, te kite kèk moun nan pi malere yo pou okipe chan rezen yo, e pou laboure tè a.
Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
17 Alò, pilye an bwonz, ki te apatyen a lakay SENYÈ a, baz yo, ak gwo lanmè an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ a, Kaldeyen yo te kraze yo an mòso e te pote tout bwonz yo Babylone.
The Chaldeans also broke apart the bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord. And they took all the brass of these things to Babylon.
18 Anplis, yo te pran veso yo, pèl yo, etoufè yo, basen yo, po yo ak tout veso an bwonz ki te sèvi nan tanp lan.
And they took the cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.
19 Anplis, chèf kò gad la te retire bòl yo, plato sann yo, basen yo, po yo, chandelye yo, sa ki te fèt an lò fen ak sa ki te fèt an ajan fen.
And the chief of the military took the water pots, and the censers, and the pitchers, and the basins, and the lampstands, and the mortars, and the little cups, whatever was gold, for the gold, and whatever was silver, for the silver,
20 De pilye yo, sèl lanmè a, douz towo an bwonz ki te anba lanmè a, ak baz yo, ke Wa Salomon te fè pou lakay SENYÈ a——bwonz nan tout veso sa yo te depase kontwòl nan pwa.
as well as the two pillars, and the one brass sea, and the twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord. There was no weight of brass left behind out of all these vessels.
21 Epi pou pilye yo, wotè a chak pilye te diz-uit koude, li te mezire douz koude sikonferans lan, kat dwat nan epesè e vid nan mitan.
Now concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled it. Moreover, its thickness was four fingers, and the interior was hollow.
22 Alò, yon tèt kouvèti an bwonz te sou li; epi wotè a chak tèt kouvèti te senk koude, ak yon sistèm mèch fèt avèk chèn an fil tòde pou tèt kouvèti ak grenad sou tèt kouvèti ki antoure l yo, tout nan bwonz nèt. Epi dezyèm pilye a te tankou sila a, menm ak grenad yo.
And heads of brass were upon both. And the height of one head was five cubits. And little nets with pomegranates were upon the heads all around, all of brass. The second pillar was similar, and the pomegranates.
23 Te gen katre-ven-sèz grenad byen parèt; tout nan grenad yo te kontwole an santèn, sou sistèm mèch la toupatou.
And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.
24 Epi chèf kò gad la te pran Seraja, chèf prèt la, Sophonie, dezyèm wo prèt la, ak twa ofisye a tanp yo.
And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.
25 Anplis, li te pran soti nan vil la, yon ofisye ki te yon sipèvizè pou mesye lagè yo, sèt nan konseye wa ki te twouve nan vil yo, grefye a wo kòmandan ki te òganize pèp peyi a ak swasant mesye a pèp ki te twouve nan mitan vil yo.
He also took from the city one eunuch who was in charge of the men of war, and seven men among those who served before the face of the king, who were found in the city, and a scribe, a leader of the military, who tested the new recruits, and sixty men from the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26 Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad la te pran yo e te mennen yo kote wa Babylone nan Ribla.
Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Epi wa Babylone nan te frape yo mete a lanmò nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath la. Konsa, Juda te mennen ale an egzil kite peyi li.
And the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was carried away from his land.
28 Sila yo se moun ke Nebucadnetsar te pote ale an egzil nan setyèm ane a: twa-mil-venn-twa Jwif;
This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
29 nan diz-uityèm ane Nebucadnetsar a, ui-san-trant-de moun ki sòti Jérusalem;
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;
30 nan venn-twazyèm ane a Nebucadnetsar a, Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad yo te pote an egzil sèt-san-karant-senk Jwif. Nom de moun antou te kat-mil moun.
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, carried away of the Jews seven hundred forty-five souls. Therefore, all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
31 Alò, li te vin rive nan trant-setyèm ane egzil Jojakin, wa Juda a, nan douzyèm mwa a, sou venn-senkyèm jou a mwa a, ke Évil-Merodac, wa Babylone nan, nan premye ane règn li a, te montre favè li a Jojakin, wa Juda a, e te lage li nan prizon.
And it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the very first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and he brought him out of the prison house.
32 Konsa, li te pale dousman avèk li e te mete twòn li pi wo pase twòn a wa ki te avèk li Babylone yo.
And he spoke with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after him in Babylon.
33 Konsa, Jojakin te chanje rad prizonye li a, e te pran repa li nan prezans a wa a pandan tout rès jou lavi li yo.
And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.
34 Pou okipe li, li te resevwa yon pòsyon nòmal chak jou pandan tout rès jou lavi li, jis rive jou li te mouri an.
And for his meals, a continual provision was allotted to him by the king of Babylon, a measure for every single day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
