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 twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a tankou tout sa ke Jojakim te fè yo.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as 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.
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against 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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
5 Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a wa Sédécias.
The city remained under siege 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.
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
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.
Then the city wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of the Arabah,
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 Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left 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.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
10 Wa Babylone nan te touye fis a Sédécias yo devan zye l e anplis, li te touye tout prens Juda yo Ribla.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there 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.
Then he gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
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.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer of the king of Babylon, entered 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.
He burned down the Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
14 Konsa, tout lame Kaldeyen ki te avèk chèf kò gad yo, te demoli tout miray ki te antoure Jérusalem yo.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down all the walls 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.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported some of the poor people and those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as the rest of the craftsmen.
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.
But Nebuzaradan allowed others of the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the fields.
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 Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took all the bronze 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.
They also took all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items used in the Temple service.
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.
The commander of the guard removed the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or 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.
The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
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.
Each column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls four fingers thick.
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.
The bronze capital on top of one column was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
23 Te gen katre-ven-sèz grenad byen parèt; tout nan grenad yo te kontwole an santèn, sou sistèm mèch la toupatou.
There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
24 Epi chèf kò gad la te pran Seraja, chèf prèt la, Sophonie, dezyèm wo prèt la, ak twa ofisye a tanp yo.
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple doorkeepers.
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.
From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and seven of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
26 Nebuzaradan, chèf kò gad la te pran yo e te mennen yo kote wa Babylone nan Ribla.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before 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.
The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their land.
28 Sila yo se moun ke Nebucadnetsar te pote ale an egzil nan setyèm ane a: twa-mil-venn-twa Jwif;
This is a record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile. In the seventh year of his reign he took 3,023 Judeans.
29 nan diz-uityèm ane Nebucadnetsar a, ui-san-trant-de moun ki sòti Jérusalem;
In his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 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 his twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took another 745 Judeans, making a total of 4,600.
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.
In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
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.
The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there with 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.
So Jehoiachin was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently at the king's table for the rest 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.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
