2 Wa 25
1 Alò nan nevyèm ane règn li an, nan dizyèm jou ak nan dezyèm mwa a, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan te vini. Li menm avèk tout lame li te fè kan kont Jérusalem, e li 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.
2 Konsa, vil la te anba syèj jis rive nan onzyèm ane a Wa Sédécias la.
The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 Nan nevyèm jou ak nan katriyèm mwa a, grangou 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.
4 Konsa, yo te kase vil la antre e tout mesye lagè yo te sove ale nan nwit lan pa pòtay antre de mi yo akote jaden a wa a, malgre Kaldeyen yo te antoure tout vil la. Konsa, yo te sòti pa chemen dezè a.
Then the city wall was broken through, and all the soldiers escaped at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They ran away in the direction of the Arabah,
5 Men lame Kaldeyen yo te kouri dèyè wa a. Yo te rive pran li nan plèn Jéricho a, e tout lame li a te 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.
6 Yo te kaptire wa a e yo te mennen li kote wa Babylone nan Ribla e yo te pase jijman sou li.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he was sentenced.
7 Yo te touye fis a Sédécias yo devan zye li, yo te pete zye a Sédécias, yo te mare l avèk chenn an bwonz yo, e yo te mennen li Babylone.
They slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and then gouged out his eyes, bound him in bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
8 Alò, nan setyèm jou ak nan senkyèm mwa a, ki se te diznevyèm ane Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, Nebuzaradan, kapitèn gad yo, yon sèvitè a wa Babylone nan, te rive Jérusalem.
On the seventh 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.
9 Li te brile lakay SENYÈ a, lakay wa a ak tout kay Jérusalem yo. Menm tout gwo kay yo, li te brile yo avèk dife.
He burned down the Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
10 Epi tout lame Kaldeyen yo ki te avèk kapitèn gad la te kraze, chire, tout mi ki te antoure Jérusalem yo.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Epi tout rès nan moun ki te kite lavil yo, sila ki te dezète al jwenn wa Babylone nan e tout rès pèp la ki te rete, Nébuzaraden, kapitèn gad la, te pote yo ale an egzil.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported 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 population.
12 Men kapitèn gad la te kite kèk moun pami pi malere yo pou sèvi kòm ouvriye nan chan rezen yo ak pou raboure tè a.
But the commander of the guard allowed the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the fields.
13 Alò, pilye an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ yo ak baz avèk lanmè an bwonz ki te lakay SENYÈ a, Kaldeyen yo te kase yo an mòso e te pote bwonz lan 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.
14 Yo te retire po yo, pèl yo, etennwa yo, kiyè yo ak tout veso an bwonz ki te konn sèvi nan sèvis tanp lan.
They also took all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, dishes, and all the other bronze items used in the Temple service.
15 Kòmandan gad la, anplis, te pran tout plato pou resevwa sann yo, avèk basen yo, sila ki te an lò fen ak sila ki te an ajan fen yo.
The commander of the guard removed the censers and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or silver.
16 De pilye yo, yon sèl lanmè a ak baz ke Salomon te fè pou lakay SENYÈ a, bwonz nan veso sila yo te depase kapasite pou peze.
The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
17 Wotè a yon pilye te di-zuit koude e yon tèt an bwonz te sou li. Wotè a tèt an bwonz lan te twa koude, avèk yon griyaj ak grenad ki te antoure li an bwonz. Epi dezyèm pilye a te tankou sila yo avèk yon sistèm griyaj.
Each column was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital on top of one column was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
18 Alò, kapitèn gad la te pran Seraja, wo prèt la, avèk Sophonie, dezyèm prèt la, avèk twa ofisye a tanp lan.
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple doorkeepers.
19 Depi nan vil la, li te pran yon ofisye ki te chèf mesye lagè yo ak senk nan konseye a wa yo ki te twouve nan vil la; epi grefye a kapitèn lame ki te responsab anrejistre moun nan peyi a; epi swasant moun nan pèp peyi a te twouve nan vil la.
From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and five 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.
20 Nebuzaradan, kapitèn gad la, te pran yo pou 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.
21 Alò, wa Babylone nan te frape yo e te mete yo a lanmò nan Ribla nan peyi Hamath. Konsa, Juda te mennen an egzil soti nan 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.
22 Alò, moun ki te rete nan peyi Juda yo, ke Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te kite, li te chwazi Guedalia, fis a Achikam nan, fis a Schaphan an sou yo.
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, appointed Gedaliah, son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, as governor over the people he had left in the land of Judah.
23 Lè tout kapitèn yo avèk sòlda pa yo te tande ke wa Babylone nan te chwazi Guedalia kòm gouvènè, yo te vin kote Guedalia nan Mitspa; pa non, Ismaël fis a Nethania a, avèk Jochanan, fis a Karéach la, Seraja, fis a Thanhumeth la, Netofayit la, avèk Jaazania, fis a Maakatyen an, yo menm avèk mesye pa yo.
When all the army officers of Judah and their men learned that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they and their men met with Gedaliah at Mizpah. They included: Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan, son of Kareah, Seraiah, son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, Jaazaniah, son of the Maakathite.
24 Guedalia te sèmante a yo avèk mesye pa yo a, e te di yo: “Pa pè vin sèvitè a Kaldeyen yo. Viv nan peyi a, sèvi wa Babylone nan e sa va ale byen pou nou.”
Gedaliah swore an oath to them and their men, telling them, “Don't be afraid of the Babylonian officials. Stay here in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and you'll be fine.”
25 Men li te vin rive nan setyèm mwa a, ke Ismaël, fis a Nethania yo, fis a Élischama yo nan fanmi wayal la, te rive avèk dis òm pou te frape Guedalia e li te mouri ansanm avèk Jwif ak Kaldeyen ki te avèk li nan Mitspa yo.
But in the seventh month, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of royal blood, came with ten men. They attacked and killed Gedaliah, along with the men of Judea and Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Alò, tout pèp la, ni gran ni piti, avèk kapitèn a fòs soulèvman yo te leve ale an Égypte; paske yo te pè Kaldeyen yo.
As a result, all the people, from the least to the greatest, along with the army commanders, ran away to Egypt, terrified of what the Babylonians would do.
27 Alò, li te vin rive nan trant-setyèm ane an egzil a Jojakin, wa Juda a, nan douzyèm mwa a, nan venn-setyèm jou nan mwa a, ke Évil-Merodac, wa Babylone nan, nan lane ke li te vin wa a, li te lage Jojakin, wa Juda a, soti nan prizon.
In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
28 Konsa, li te pale avèk dousè anvè li e li te leve twòn li an piwo pase lòt 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.
29 Jojakin te chanje rad prizonye li yo, e li te vin pran repa l nan prezans a wa a pandan tout rès jou lavi li.
So Jehoiachin was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently at the king's table for the rest of his life.
30 Epi pou bous li, yon bous nòmal te bay a li menm pa wa a, yon pòsyon pou chak jou pandan tout jou lavi li.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life.
