Jeremi 39
1 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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem, and besieged it.
2 Sou nevyèm jou nan katriyèm mwa, onzyèm lanne rèy Sedesyas la, lènmi yo fè yon twou nan miray ranpa a.
In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city.
3 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.
All the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal Sharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim the Rabsaris, Nergal Sharezer the Rabmag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 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.
When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled and went 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 towards the Arabah.
5 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.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. When they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgement on him.
6 Li fè yo touye pitit gason Sedesyas yo la devan je msye. Li fè touye tout chèf peyi Jida yo tou.
Then the king of Babylon killed Zedekiah’s sons in Riblah before his eyes. The king of Babylon also killed all the nobles of Judah.
7 Apre sa, li fe yo pete de je Sedesyas. Lèfini, li fè yo mare l' ak de chenn kwiv pou yo mennen l' Babilòn.
Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
8 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.
The Chaldeans burnt the king’s house and the people’s houses with fire and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
9 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.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people who remained in the city, the deserters also who fell away to him, and the rest of the people who remained.
10 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.
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.
11 Men Nèbikadneza, wa lavil Babilòn, bay Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la lòd sa a pou Jeremi:
Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon commanded Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard concerning Jeremiah, saying,
12 -Chache kote Jeremi ye. Pran swen li byen. Pa fè l' anyen. Okontrè, tout sa l'a mande, w'a ba li l'.
“Take him and take care of him. Do him no harm; but do to him even as he tells you.”
13 Se konsa Neboucharadan, chèf lagad la, Nebouchasban, chèf nèg konfyans yo, Negal-Sarezè, chèf konseye yo, ansanm ak tout lòt chèf wa Babilòn yo
So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, Nebushazban, Rabsaris, and Nergal Sharezer, Rabmag, and all the chief officers of the king of Babylon
14 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.
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 bring him home. So he lived amongst the people.
15 Antan Jeremi te nan prizon nan lakou gad palè yo, Seyè a te pale avè l' pou di l' konsa:
Now the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
16 -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.
“Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they will be accomplished before you in that day.
17 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.
But I will deliver you in that day,” says the LORD; “and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
18 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.
For I will surely save you. You won’t fall by the sword, but you will escape with your life, because you have put your trust in me,” says the LORD.’”
