< Jeremiah 52 >

1 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.
Sedesyas te gen venteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li pase onzan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a. Manman l' te rele Amoutal. Se te pitit fi Jeremi, moun lavil Libna.
2 And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
Wa Sedesyas te fè sa ki mal devan Bondye menm jan ak Jojakim.
3 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.
Se konsa, Seyè a te fache ni sou moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, ni sou moun peyi Jida yo, jouk jou li wete yo devan je l'. Sedesyas te pran lezam kont Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan.
4 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.
Se konsa, sou dezyèm jou dizyèm mwa nevyèm lanne depi Sedesyas te wa a, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, vin atake lavil Jerizalèm ak tout lame li a. Yo moute kan yo devan miray lavil la, yo mete ranblè nan pye miray yo. Yo sènen l' nèt.
5 And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Yo fèmen lavil la depi lè sa a rive sou onzyèm lanne rèy wa Sedeisas la.
6 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.
Sou nevyèm jou katriyèm mwa menm lanne sa a, te gen yon sèl grangou nan lavil la, moun yo pa t' gen anyen pou yo manje ankò.
7 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.
Yo fè yon twou nan miray yo. Atout lame moun Babilòn yo te sènen lavil la nèt, tout sòlda jwif yo met deyò, yo kite lavil la nan mitan lannwit, yo pase nan mitan jaden wa a, yo desann nan wout pòtay la nan mitan de miray yo, yo pran chemen Fon Jouden an pou yo.
8 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.
Men, lame moun Babilòn yo rapouswiv wa Sedesyas. Lè yo rive nan plenn bò lavil Jeriko yo, yo mete men sou li. Lè sa a, tout sòlda li yo gaye, yo kouri kite l'.
9 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.
Lènmi yo pran wa a, yo mennen l' bay wa Babilòn lan, ki te lavil Ribla nan peyi Amat la. Se la Nèbikadneza jije li.
10 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.
Antan yo lavil Ribla, li fè yo koupe kou tout pitit wa Sedesyas yo devan wa a. Li fè koupe kou tout chèf peyi Jida yo tou.
11 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.
Lèfini, li fè yo pete tou de je wa Sedesyas, epi yo mare l' ak de gwo chenn fèt an kwiv. Yo mennen l' lavil Babilòn. Yo mete Sedesyas nan prizon, li rete la jouk li mouri.
12 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.
Sou dizyèm jou senkyèm mwa nan disnevyèm lanne rèy Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, yonn nan konseye li yo, antre lavil Jerizalèm.
13 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.
Li met dife nan kay Bondye a ak nan palè wa a. Li boule dènye kay ki te lavil Jerizalèm, ata kay grannèg yo.
14 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.
Li bay sòlda ki te avè l' yo lòd demoli tout gwo miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm yo met atè.
15 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.
Lèfini, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, pran rès moun yo te kite lavil la, li depòte yo lavil Babilòn ansanm ak tout moun ki te vin rann tèt yo bay wa Babilòn lan ak tout bon bòs atizan ki te rete nan lavil la.
16 Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
Men, li kite kèk moun nan mas pèp la ki pa t' gen anyen. Li ba yo jaden rezen ak lòt jaden pou yo okipe.
17 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.
Moun Babilòn yo pran gwo poto kwiv yo ki te nan tanp Seyè a, ansanm ak sipò yo, gwo basen kwiv yo, yo kraze yo fè ti moso, yo pote kwiv la ale lavil Babilòn.
18 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.
Yo pran plat pou resevwa sann yo, pèl yo, kouto yo, gode yo, tas yo ak tout lòt bagay an kwiv yo te konn sèvi nan tanp lan.
19 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,
Chèf lagad la pran dènye bagay ki te fèt an lò ak an ajan: kivèt yo, recho yo, gode yo, plat pou resevwa sann yo, lanp sèt branch yo, bòl yo ak tas yo,
20 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.
de gwo poto yo, gwo basen lan ak douz estati towo ki te sèvi l' sipò yo, ak kabwèt wa Salomon te fè fè an kwiv pou mete nan tanp lan. Tout bagay sa yo te lou anpil, pesonn pa t' konn pèz yo.
21 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.
De poto yo te parèy yonn ak lòt: yo chak te gen vennsèt pye wotè, se yon kòd dizwit pye longè ki pou ta fè wonn yo chak. Poto yo te vid nan mitan. Rebò yo te gen twa pous epesè.
22 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.
Sou tèt chak poto te gen yon blòk an kwiv sèt pye edmi wotè. Sou tout wonn tèt poto yo, te gen desen ti chenn makònen yonn ak lòt, ak anpil pòtre grenad plake sou yo. Tout te fèt an kwiv. De poto yo te parèy.
23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.
Sou wonn tèt poto yo te gen san grenad antou, men antan ou anba ou te ka wè katrevensèz grenad sèlman.
24 And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.
Lèfini, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, pran Seraya, granprèt la, Sefanya, adjwen li an ansanm ak twa lòt chèf ki la pou veye pòtay tanp lan, li fè yo prizonye.
25 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.
Nan lavil la, li pran chèf ki te alatèt lame a ansanm ak sèt lòt otorite ki te toujou avèk wa a, ak sekretè kòmandan lame a ki te reskonsab pou pran moun nan lame a, ak swasant lòt grannèg. Tout moun sa yo te nan lavil la toujou.
26 Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Neboucharadan pran yo, li mennen yo bay wa Babilòn lan lavil Ribla.
27 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.
Wa a fè bat yo, lèfini li fè touye yo lavil Ribla nan peyi Amat. Se konsa yo te depòte moun peyi Jida yo byen lwen peyi yo.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
Men kantite moun wa Nèbikadneza te depòte: Nan setyèm lanne rèy li a, li depòte twamil venntwa (3.023) moun peyi Jida.
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;
Nan dizwityèm lanne rèy li a, li depòte witsantrannde (832) moun lavil Jerizalèm.
30 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.
Nan venntwazyèm lanne rèy li a, Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, te pran sètsankarannsenk (745) moun. Antou sa te fè katmil sisan (4.600) moun yo te depòte.
31 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.
Premye lanne wa Evilmewodak pran pouvwa a lavil Babilòn, li fè pa Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, li fè l' soti nan prizon. Lè sa a, Jojakim te gen trannsizan onz mwa, vennsenk jou, jou pou jou, depi yo te depòte l'.
32 And he spoke with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after him in Babylon.
Evilmewodak te sèvi byen avè l', li ba l' premye plas nan mitan tout lòt wa yo te depòte lavil Babilòn tankou l' yo.
33 And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.
Li wete rad prizonye ki te sou Jojakim lan, li fè l' vin manje sou menm tab avè l' jouk Jojakim mouri.
34 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.
Chak jou, wa a ba li sa li te bezwen pou l' viv, konsa, konsa, jouk li mouri.
