Kings IV 24
1 In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him.
Pandan reny Jojakim lan, Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn, anvayi peyi Jida. Pandan twazan Jojakim soumèt devan li. Apre sa, li konmanse kenbe tèt avè l'.
2 And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
Lè sa a, Seyè a voye ansasen soti nan peyi Babilòn, nan peyi Siri, nan peyi Moab ak nan peyi Amon vin dèyè Jojakim. Li lage yo nan peyi Jida a pou yo fini avè l' dapre sa Seyè a te di nan bouch pwofèt yo, sèvitè l' yo.
3 Moreover it was the purpose of the Lord concerning Juda, to remove them from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses, according to all that he did.
Sa te rive peyi Jida a paske Seyè a te vle wete pèp peyi Jida a devan je l' poutèt peche wa Manase te fè yo,
4 Moreover he shed innocent blood, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon [it].
ak pou kantite moun inonsan li te touye jouk tout lari Jerizalèm te plen san. Seyè a pa t' vle padonnen ankò.
5 And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Tout rès istwa Jojakim lan, sa li te fè yo, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
6 And Joakim slept with his fathers: and Joachim his son reigned in his stead.
Lè Jojakim mouri se Jojakin, pitit gason li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.
7 And the king of Egypt came no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon took away all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
Wa peyi Lejip la pa janm soti kite peyi l' la ankò, paske wa peyi Babilòn lan te pran tout zòn ki te pou wa peyi Lejip la, depi larivyè Lefrat rive nan ravin Lejip.
8 Eighteen years old [was] Joachim when he began to reign, an he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Nestha, daughter of Ellanastham, of Jerusalem.
Jojakin te gen dizwitan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa. Manman l' te rele Neouchta. Se te pitit fi Elnatan, moun lavil Jerizalèm.
9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father did.
Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a tankou papa l'.
10 At that time went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Se sou reny li lame Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, te mache sou lavil Jerizalèm. Yo sènen lavil la.
11 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
Pandan lame a te sènen lavil la, Nèbikadneza vin atake lavil la li menm menm.
12 And Joachim king of Juda came forth to the king of Babylon, he and his servants, and his mother, and his princes, and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
Lè sa a, Jojakin, wa peyi Jida a, al rann tèt li bay wa Babilòn lan ansanm ak manman l', pitit gason l' yo, chèf lame l' yo ak chèf palè li yo. Wa a fè yo tout prizonye. Lè sa a, Nèbikadneza t'ap mache sou witan depi li te wa.
13 And he brought forth thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut up all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel [had] made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.
Li pran tout richès ki te nan Tanp Seyè a ak nan palè wa a. Li kraze tout bèl bagay an lò Salomon, wa pèp Izrayèl la, te fè pou sèvi nan Tanp Seyè a, jan Seyè a te fè konn sa depi lontan an.
14 And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left.
Nèbikadneza depòte dènye moun ki te lavil Jerizalèm, tout chèf yo, tout grannèg yo, li depòte tout atizan yo ak tout bòs fòjon yo. Sa te fè dimil (10.000) moun antou. Se moun pòv yo ase li kite nan peyi Jida a.
15 And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Nèbikadneza fè Jojakin prizonye ansanm ak manman l', madanm li yo, chèf nan gouvènman l' yo ak tout grannèg peyi Jida yo. Li depòte yo, li pran yo lavil Jerizalèm li mennen yo peyi Babilòn.
16 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.
Wa peyi Babilòn lan te depòte antou sètmil (7.000) prizonye nan peyi Babilòn, ansanm ak mil atizan ak bòs fòjon san konte vanyan gason ki te ka fè lagè.
17 And the king of Babylon made Batthanias his son king in his stead, and called his name Sedekias.
Apre sa, Nèbikadneza pran Matanya, tonton wa Jojakin, li mete l' wa nan peyi Jida. Li chanje non l', li rele l' Sedesyas.
18 Twenty and one years old [was] Sedekias when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital daughter of Jeremias.
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.
19 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Joachim did.
Wa Sedesyas te fè sa ki mal devan Bondye menm jan ak Jojakin.
20 For it was according to the Lord's anger against Jerusalem and on Juda, until he cast them out of his presence, that Sedekias revolted against 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'. Men, rive yon lè Sedesyas derefize soumèt devan Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan.
