They are different methodologies to understand how to help you user.

In the empathy map you start understanding what your user sees, hears, thinks, feels, etc... once you have a good picture of how your users are you can start doing your personas based on your research. But, remember, personas are not the actual users, personas are the stereotype of your potential users.
