2 Istwa 36
1 Moun peyi Jida yo chwazi Joakaz, pitit gason Joas la, yo mete l' wa nan plas papa l'.
And they took [the] people of the land Jehoahaz [the] son of Josiah and they made king him in place of father his in Jerusalem.
2 Joakaz te gen venntwazan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa.
[was] a son of Three and twenty year[s] Jehoahaz when became king he and three months he reigned in Jerusalem.
3 Neko, wa peyi Lejip la, mete l' atè, li fòse peyi Jida a ba li sètmil senksan (7500) liv ajan ak swasannkenz liv lò.
And he removed him [the] king of Egypt in Jerusalem and he imposed a fine on the land one hundred talent[s] of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Apre sa, Neko pran Elyakim, frè Joakaz, li mete l' wa nan plas li. Lè sa a, li chanje non Elyakim, li rele l' Jojakim. Lèfini, li pran Joakaz, li mennen l' nan peyi Lejip.
And he made king [the] king of Egypt Eliakim brother his over Judah and Jerusalem and he changed name his Jehoiakim and Jehoahaz brother his he took Necho and he brought him Egypt towards.
5 Jojakim te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan onzan. Li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, Bondye li a.
[was] a son of Twenty and five year[s] Jehoiakim when became king he and one plus ten year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God his.
6 Nebikadneza, wa Babilòn, anvayi peyi Jida, li fè wa Jojakim prizonye, li mete l' anba chenn doub, li mennen l' lavil Babilòn.
On him he came up Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and he bound him with bronze fetters to take him Babylon towards.
7 Nebikadneza pran tout bèl bagay ki te nan Tanp Seyè a, li pote yo lavil Babilòn, li mete yo nan tanp bondye pa l'.
And some of [the] articles of [the] house of Yahweh he brought Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon and he put them in palace his in Babylon.
8 Tout rès istwa Jojakim lan, jan li te sèvi vye zidòl yo ak tout mechanste li te fè yo, nou jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Se Jojakin, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Jehoiakim and abominations his which he did and [what] was found on him there they [are] written on [the] scroll of [the] kings of Israel and Judah and he became king Jehoiachin son his in place of him.
9 Jojakin te gen dizwitan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan twa mwa dis jou. Li menm tou, li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a.
[was] a son of Eight years Jehoiachin when became king he and three months and ten days he reigned in Jerusalem and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
10 Nan sezon prentan ki vin apre sa, wa Nebikadneza fè Jojakin prizonye, li mennen l' lavil Babilòn. Li pran tout richès ki te nan Tanp Seyè a pote ale. Apre sa, Nebikadneza pran Sedesyas, frè papa Jojakin, li mete l' wa lavil Jerizalèm nan peyi Jida.
And to [the] return of the year he sent the king Nebuchadnezzar and he brought him Babylon towards with [the] articles of preciousness of [the] house of Yahweh and he made king Zedekiah relative his over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Sedesyas te gen venteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li pase onzan lavil Jerizalèm ap gouvènen peyi a.
[was] a son of Twenty and one year[s] Zedekiah when became king he and one plus ten year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem.
12 Li fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a, li pa t' soumèt devan pwofèt Jeremi ki t'ap pale pawòl Bondye nan zòrèy li.
And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God his not he humbled himself from to before Jeremiah the prophet from [the] mouth of Yahweh.
13 Sedesyas leve kont wa Nebikadneza ki te fè l' sèmante devan Bondye li t'ap toujou soumèt devan li. Li fè tèt di, li derefize chanje lavi li t'ap mennen an pase pou l' ta tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
And also against the king Nebuchadnezzar he rebelled who he had made swear an oath him by God and he made stiff neck his and he made hard heart his from turning back to Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
14 Ata lòt chèf peyi Jida yo, prèt yo ansanm ak tout pèp la te lage kò yo nan sèvi yon bann vye zidòl, tankou tout lòt nasyon yo te konn fè. Yo derespekte Tanp Seyè a te mete apa pou li menm lavil Jerizalèm.
Also all [the] leaders of the priests and the people they increased (to act unfaithfully *QK) unfaithfulness according to all [the] abominations of the nations and they made unclean [the] house of Yahweh which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, pa t' manke voye pwofèt pou avèti pèp li a, paske li pa t' vle anyen rive ni pèp li a ni Tanp li a.
And he sent Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their to them by [the] hand of messengers his rising early and sending for he had compassion on people his and on dwelling place his.
16 Men, yo pase mesaje Bondye yo nan betiz, yo pa okipe sa Bondye te di yo, yo pase pwofèt yo anba rizib. Bout pou bout, Seyè a te vin sitèlman fache pa t' gen rechap pou yo ankò.
And they were deriding [the] messengers of God and despising words his and mocking at prophets his until came up [the] anger of Yahweh on people his until there not [was] healing.
17 Se konsa Seyè a fè wa Babilòn lan moute vin atake yo. Wa a touye tout jenn gason peyi Jida a nan Tanp lan menm. Li pa t' gen pitye pou pesonn, granmoun kou timoun, fanm kou gason, malad ou pa malad. Bondye lage yo tout nan men wa a.
And he brought up on them [the] king of ([the] Chaldeans *Qk) and he killed young men their with the sword in [the] house of sanctuary their and not he had compassion on young man and young woman [the] old and [the] decrepit everyone he gave in hand his.
18 Wa a menm pran dènye sa ki te nan Tanp lan ak nan pyès trezò Tanp lan ansanm ak richès wa a ak richès lòt gwo chèf yo, li pote yo lavil Babilòn.
And all [the] articles of [the] house of God great and small and [the] treasures of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] treasures of the king and officials his everything he brought Babylon.
19 Lèfini, li mete dife nan Tanp lan. Li kraze miray lavil la. Li boule tout gwo kay yo ak tout bèl bagay koute chè ki te ladan yo.
And they burned [the] house of God and they pulled down [the] wall of Jerusalem and all palaces its they burned with fire and all [the] articles of preciousness its to destroy.
20 Li pran tout moun ki pa t' mouri yo, li depòte yo lavil Babilòn kote yo sèvi l', li menm ansanm ak pitit li yo, tankou esklav, jouk gouvènman an pase nan men wa peyi Pès la.
And he took into exile the remainder from the sword to Babylon and they became for him and for sons his slaves until reigned [the] kingdom of Persia.
21 Se konsa, sa Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an rive vre: Pandan swasanndizan tè a pral rete san yon moun ladan l', li pral pran repo pou tout jou repo yo pa t' janm ba li a.
To fulfill [the] word of Yahweh by [the] mouth of Jeremiah until it has accepted the land sabbaths its all [the] days of the desolation of it it rested to complete seventy year[s].
22 Lè sa a, wa Siris pa t' ankò gen ennan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Pès la, lè Seyè a mete lide nan tèt wa a pou li bay yon lòd, fè kouche l' sou papye, voye l' toupatou nan peyi a pou yo te ka li l' pou tout moun tande. Sa te pase konsa pou pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Jeremi an te ka rive vre. Men lòd la:
And in year one of Cyrus [the] king of Persia to fulfill [the] word of Yahweh by [the] mouth of Jeremiah he stirred up Yahweh [the] spirit of Cyrus [the] king of Persia and he caused to pass a proclamation in all kingdom his and also in writing saying.
23 -Mwen menm Siris, wa peyi Pès la, men lòd mwen bay: Seyè a, Bondye nan syèl la, te mete m' chèf sou tout peyi ki sou latè. Li ban m' reskonsablite pou m' bati yon Tanp pou li lavil Jerizalèm nan peyi Jida. Nou mande pou Bondye pèp sa a beni tout moun ki fè pati pèp Izrayèl la, pou yo moute lavil Jerizalèm.
Thus he says Cyrus - [the] king of Persia all [the] kingdoms of the earth he has given to me Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and he he has appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem which [is] in Judah who? [is] among you from all people his Yahweh God his [be] with him and let him go up.
