Jeremiah 39
1 It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;
Nan dizyèm mwa, nevyèm lanne rèy Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, vini ak tout lame li a, li atake lavil Jerizalèm. Li sènen li toupatou.
2 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city).
Sou nevyèm jou nan katriyèm mwa, onzyèm lanne rèy Sedesyas la, lènmi yo fè yon twou nan miray ranpa a.
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the Middle Gate, Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers of the king of Babylon.
Lè sa a, tout gwo chèf wa Babilòn yo antre nan lavil la, yo pran pozisyon nan Pòtay Mitan an: Te gen Negal Sarezè, Samga-Nebo, Sasekim, ki te chèf nèg konfyans wa yo, yon lòt Negal-Sarezè ki te chèf konseye yo ansanm ak tout lòt gwo chèf wa Babilòn yo.
4 It happened that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.
Lè wa Sedesyas ak tout sòlda li yo wè sa, yo tann lannwit rive, yo mete deyò. Yo pase nan jaden wa a, yo soti nan pòtay kote de miray yo kontre a, yo kite lavil la. Yo pran chemen ki mennen nan Fon Jouden an.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
Men, sòlda lame Babilòn yo rapouswiv yo. Yo mete men sou Sedesyas nan plenn toupre lavil Jeriko a. Yo pran l', yo mennen l' bay Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, ki te lavil Ribla, nan peyi Amat. Rive la, wa Babilòn lan bay lòd sa pou yo fè Sedesyas.
6 Then the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
Li fè yo touye pitit gason Sedesyas yo la devan je msye. Li fè touye tout chèf peyi Jida yo tou.
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Apre sa, li fe yo pete de je Sedesyas. Lèfini, li fè yo mare l' ak de chenn kwiv pou yo mennen l' Babilòn.
8 The Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Moun Babilòn yo menm, bò pa yo, mete dife nan kay wa a, nan kay tout grannèg yo epi yo kraze miray ranpa lavil Jerizalèm.
9 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people who remained.
Lèfini, Nebouzaradan, chèf gad yo, pran tout rès moun ki te rete nan lavil la ansanm ak sa ki te kouri kite lavil la, li depòte yo lavil Babilòn.
10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Men, li kite tout moun ki pòv yo, tout moun ki pa gen anyen yo rete nan peyi Jida a. Li ba yo jaden rezen ak lòt jaden pou yo travay.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
Men Nèbikadneza, wa lavil Babilòn, bay Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la lòd sa a pou Jeremi:
12 "Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you."
-Chache kote Jeremi ye. Pran swen li byen. Pa fè l' anyen. Okontrè, tout sa l'a mande, w'a ba li l'.
13 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushazban the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon;
Se konsa Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, Nebouchasban, chèf nèg konfyans yo, Negal-Sarezè, chèf konseye yo, ansanm ak tout lòt chèf wa Babilòn yo
14 they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.
voye chache Jeremi nan lakou gad palè yo. Yo renmèt li nan men Gedalya, pitit Akikam, pitit pitit Chafan, ki te pou fè l' rive lakay li san danje. Se konsa Jeremi te rete nan mitan pèp la.
15 Now the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Antan Jeremi te nan prizon nan lakou gad palè yo, Seyè a te pale avè l' pou di l' konsa:
16 "Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: "Look, I will bring my words on this city for disaster, and not for prosperity; and they shall be fulfilled before you in that day.
-Al pale ak Ebèdmelèk, moun peyi Letiopi a. W'a di li men mesaj Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay: Mwen pral fè tou sa mwen te di ki gen pou rive a rive vre. Se va pou malè lavil la, se p'ap pou byen li. Lè sa a, w'a la pou wè tout bagay.
17 But I will deliver you in that day, says Jehovah; and you shall not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
Men jou sa a m'ap sove ou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Ou p'ap tonbe nan men moun k'ap fè ou pè yo.
18 For I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but your life will be given to you as a reward; because you have put your trust in me,"' says Jehovah."
Se vre wi, m'ap sove ou, yo p'ap touye ou. W'ap sove, w'ap vivan paske ou te gen konfyans nan mwen. Wi, se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
