Yeremiya 52
1 Zedekiya anali wa zaka 21 pamene analowa ufumu, ndipo analamulira zaka 11 ku Yerusalemu. Amayi ake anali Hamutali mwana wa Yeremiya wa ku Libina.
Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
2 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe anachitira Yehoyakimu.
And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Chifukwa cha zonse zimene zinachitika ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yuda Yehova anakwiyira anthu ake mpaka kuwachotsa pamaso pake. Tsono Zedekiya anawukira mfumu ya ku Babuloni.
And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.
4 Choncho mʼchaka cha chisanu ndi chinayi cha ulamuliro wa Zedekiya, mwezi wakhumi, pa tsiku la khumi, Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni anabwera ndi ankhondo ake onse kudzathira nkhondo Yerusalemu. Anamanga misasa ndi mitumbira yankhondo kunja kuzungulira mzindawo.
And it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.
5 Mzindawo unazingidwa mpaka chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi cha ulamuliro wa Mfumu Zedekiya.
And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chinayi la mwezi wachinayi njala inakula kwambiri mu mzindamo kotero kuti munalibe chakudya choti anthu nʼkudya.
Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment for the people of the land.
7 Tsono linga la mzindawo linabowoledwa, ndipo ankhondo onse anathawa. Iwo anatuluka mu mzindamo usiku kudzera pa chipata cha pakati pa makoma awiri a pafupi ndi munda wa mfumu, ngakhale kuti Ababuloni anali atazinga mzindawo. Ndipo anathawira ku Araba,
And the city was broken, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads to the wilderness.
8 koma gulu la ankhondo la ku Babuloni linalondola mfumu Zedekiya ndi kumupeza mʼchigwa cha ku Yeriko. Ankhondo onse anamusiya yekha nabalalika.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away from him.
9 Anagwidwa napita naye kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni ku Ribula mʼdziko la Hamati, kumene anagamula mlandu wake.
And when they had captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against him.
10 Ku Ribulako mfumu ya ku Babuloni inapha ana aamuna a Zedekiya iyeyo akuona; ndiponso inapha akuluakulu onse a ku Yuda.
And the king of Babylon cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.
11 Ndipo inamukolowola maso Zedekiya, ndi kumumanga ndi maunyolo a mkuwa nʼkupita naye ku Babuloni kumene inakamuyika mʼndende kuti akhalemo moyo wake wonse.
And he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until the day of his death.
12 Mwezi wachisanu, pa tsiku lakhumi, chaka cha 19 cha ulamuliro wa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni, Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa ankhondo a mfumu, amene amatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni, anabwera ku Yerusalemu.
Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.
13 Ndipo anatentha Nyumba ya Yehova, nyumba ya mfumu ndi nyumba zonse za mu Yerusalemu. Anatentha nyumba iliyonse.
And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.
14 Tsono gulu lonse lankhondo la Ababuloni limene linali ndi mtsogoleri wa ankhondo a mfumu uja linagwetsa malinga onse ozungulira Yerusalemu.
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.
15 Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa ankhondo anatenga anthu amene anatsala mu mzindamo, anthu aluso pamodzi ndi amene anadzipereka kale kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni kupita nawo ku ukapolo ku Babuloni.
Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Komabe Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa ankhondo anasiya anthu ena onse osaukitsitsa a mʼdzikomo kuti azigwira ntchito mʼminda ya mpesa ndi minda ina.
Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
17 Ababuloni anaphwanya nsanamira za mkuwa, maphaka ndi chimbiya chamkuwa zimene zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Anatenga mkuwa wonsewo nʼkupita nazo ku Babuloni.
The Chaldeans also broke apart the bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord. And they took all the brass of these things to Babylon.
18 Ankhondowo anatenganso mbiya, zochotsera phulusa, zozimitsira nyale, mbale zofukizira lubani, zikho pamodzi ndi ziwiya zina zonse za mkuwa zimene ankagwiritsira ntchito mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
And they took the cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.
19 Nebuzaradani uja anatenganso mabeseni, ziwiya zosonkhapo moto, mbale zowazira madzi, zoyikapo nyale, zipande zofukizira lubani ndi zikho ndi zina zonse zagolide ndi siliva.
And the chief of the military took the water pots, and the censers, and the pitchers, and the basins, and the lampstands, and the mortars, and the little cups, whatever was gold, for the gold, and whatever was silver, for the silver,
20 Nsanamira ziwiri zija, chimbiya, maphaka ndi ngʼombe khumi ndi ziwiri za mkuwa zochirikizira chimbiyacho zimene mfumu Solomoni anapangira Nyumba ya Yehova kulemera kwake kunali kosawerengeka.
as well as the two pillars, and the one brass sea, and the twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord. There was no weight of brass left behind out of all these vessels.
21 Nsanamira imodzi kutalika kwake kunali mamita asanu ndi atatu, akazunguliza chingwe inali mamita asanu ndi theka; mʼkati mwake munali bowo ndipo kuchindikala kwake kunali zala zinayi.
Now concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled it. Moreover, its thickness was four fingers, and the interior was hollow.
22 Pamwamba pa nsanamira iliyonse panali mutu wamkuwa umene kutalika kwake kunali mamita awiri. Pozungulira pake panali ukonde ndi makangadza, zonsezo za mkuwa. Nsanamira inayo inalinso ndi makangadza ake ndipo inali yofanana ndi inzake ija.
And heads of brass were upon both. And the height of one head was five cubits. And little nets with pomegranates were upon the heads all around, all of brass. The second pillar was similar, and the pomegranates.
23 Mʼmbali mwake munali makangadza 96; makangadza onse pamodzi analipo 100 kuzungulira ukonde onse.
And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.
24 Mtsogoleri wa ankhondo uja, anagwira Seraya mkulu wa ansembe ndi Zefaniya, wachiwiri wa mkulu wa ansembe ndi alonda atatu apachipata.
And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.
25 Mu mzindamo anagwiramo mkulu amene ankalamulira ankhondo, ndi alangizi amfumu asanu ndi awiri. Anagwiranso mlembi wa mtsogoleri wa ankhondo, amene ankalemba anthu mʼdzikomo, pamodzi ndi anthu ena 60 amene anali mu mzindamo.
He also took from the city one eunuch who was in charge of the men of war, and seven men among those who served before the face of the king, who were found in the city, and a scribe, a leader of the military, who tested the new recruits, and sixty men from the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26 Nebuzaradani, mtsogoleri wa ankhondoyo anawatenga onse napita nawo kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni ku Ribula.
Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Ku Ribulako, mʼdziko la Hamati, mfumu ya ku Babuloniyo inalamula kuti anthuwo aphedwe. Motero anthu a ku Yuda anapita ku ukapolo, kutali ndi dziko lawo.
And the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was carried away from his land.
28 Chiwerengero cha anthu amene Nebukadinezara anawatenga kupita nawo ku ukapolo ndi ichi: Mʼchaka cha chisanu ndi chiwiri cha ulamuliro wake, anatenga Ayuda 3,023;
This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
29 mʼchaka cha 18 cha ulamuliro wa Nebukadinezara, anatenga anthu 832 kuchokera mu Yerusalemu;
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;
30 mʼchaka cha 23 cha ulamuliro wa Nebukadinezara, Nebuzaradani, mtsogoleri wa ankhondo a mfumu anagwira Ayuda 745 kupita ku ukapolo. Onse pamodzi analipo anthu 4,600.
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, carried away of the Jews seven hundred forty-five souls. Therefore, all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
31 Mʼchaka chimene Evili-Merodaki analowa ufumu wa Babuloni, iye anakomera mtima Yehoyakini mfumu ya ku Yuda, namutulutsa mʼndende. Izi zinachitika pa tsiku la 25 la mwezi wa khumi ndi chiwiri zitatha zaka 37 chitengedwere Yehoyakimu ku ukapolo.
And it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the very first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and he brought him out of the prison house.
32 Evili-Merodaki anakomera mtima Yehoyakini, namupatsa malo aulemu kuposa mafumu ena amene anali naye ku Babuloni.
And he spoke with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after him in Babylon.
33 Choncho Yehoyakini analoledwa kuvula zovala zake za ku ndende ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku ankadya ndi mfumu pa moyo wake wonse.
And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.
34 Tsiku ndi tsiku mfumu ya ku Babuloni inkamupatsa Yehoyakini phoso lake nthawi yonse ya moyo wake, mpaka pa nthawi ya imfa yake.
And for his meals, a continual provision was allotted to him by the king of Babylon, a measure for every single day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
