2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
Alò, pèp peyi a te pran Joachaz, fis Josias la, e yo te fè li wa nan plas papa li Jérusalem.
2 Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Joachaz te gen venn-twazan lè l te vin wa, e li te renye twa mwa Jérusalem.
3 The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Epi wa Egypte la te retire li sou pouvwa a Jérusalem, e li te egzije yon kontribisyon de san talan ajan ak yon talan lò sou peyi a.
4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
Wa Egypte la te fè Éliakim, frè l la, wa sou Juda avèk Jérusalem, e li te chanje non li an Jojakim. Men Néco te pran frè li a, Joachaz e te mennen li an Égypte.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.
Jojakim te gen laj a venn-senkan lè l te devni wa e li te renye onzan Jérusalem. Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, Bondye li a.
6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te monte kont li, e te mare li avèk chenn an bwonz pou mennen li Babylone.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
Anplis, Nebucadnetsar te mennen kèk nan bagay ki sòti lakay SENYÈ a Babylone, e te mete yo nan tanp Babylone nan.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jojakim yo avèk abominasyon ke li te fè yo, ak sa ki te twouve kont li yo, men vwala, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa A Israël Avèk Juda yo. Epi Jojakin, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
Jojakin te gen laj a uitan lè l te vin wa, e li te renye twa mwa avèk dis jou Jérusalem. Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
10 At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Nan kòmansman ane a, Wa Nebucadnetsar te mennen li Babylone avèk bagay byen chè ki te sòti lakay SENYÈ a. Li te fè moun fanmi li, Sédécias, wa sou Juda avèk Jérusalem.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Sédécias te gen laj a ven-te-yen nan lè l te vin wa e li te renye pandan onzan Jérusalem.
12 He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.
Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye li a. Li pa t imilye li menm devan Jérémie, pwofèt ki te pale pou SENYÈ a.
13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Anplis, li te fè rebèl kont Wa Nebucadnetsar ki te fè li sèmante fidelite pou Bondye. Men li te fè tèt di, e avèk kè di, li te refize vire vè SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
Epi, ofisye a prèt yo avèk pèp la te manke fidèl anpil nan swiv tout abominasyon a nasyon yo, e yo te konwonpi kay ke SENYÈ a te fè sen Jérusalem nan.
15 The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, te voye kote yo tout tan pa mesaje pa Li yo, akoz li te gen mizerikòd vè pèp li a ak sou kote ke Li te abite a;
16 but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
men yo te giyonnen mesaje Bondye yo, yo te meprize pawòl Li, e yo te moke pwofèt Li yo, jiskaske kòlè SENYÈ a te leve kont pèp Li a jiskaske pa t gen remèd pou sa.
17 Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
Akoz sa, Li te mennen kont yo wa a Kaldeyen yo ki te touye jennonm yo avèk nepe nan kay sanktyè yo a, e Li pa t fè gras pou jèn moun, ni vyèj, ni granmoun, ni moun enfim. Li te livre tout nan men li.
18 All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
Tout bagay ki te sòti lakay SENYÈ a, gran kon piti, trezò lakay SENYÈ a ak trezò a wa yo avèk ofisye li yo, li te mennen tout Babylone.
19 They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
Anfen, yo te brile kay Bondye a, yo te kraze miray Jérusalem nan, yo te brile tout konstriksyon fòtifye li yo avèk dife, e yo te detwi tout bagay valab li yo.
20 He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
Sila ki te chape anba nepe yo, li te pote yo ale Babylone; epi yo te sèvitè li avèk fis li jiskaske wayòm Perse la te vin monte.
21 to fulfill the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
Sa te fèt pou fin akonpli pawòl SENYÈ a pa bouch a Jérémie, jiskaske tè a te fin rejwi de tout Saba li yo. Pandan tout jou dezolasyon li yo, li te kenbe Saba a jiskaske swasann-dizan an te fin pase.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
Alò, nan premye ane Cyrus la, Perse la—-pou l te kab akonpli pawòl SENYÈ a pa bouch Jérémie——SENYÈ a te boulvèse lespri a Cyrus, wa Perse la, pou li ta voye yon pwoklamasyon toupatou nan wayòm li an e anplis, ekri li pou di:
23 “Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
Konsa pale Cyrus, wa Perse la: “SENYÈ a, Bondye Syèl la, te ban mwen tout wayòm yo sou latè, e Li te mete m anba lòd pou bati pou Li yon kay Jérusalem, ki nan Juda. Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye pa li a, kapab avèk li e kite li monte.”
