Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
Zedhekia akanga ana makore makumi maviri nerimwe paakatanga kuva mambo, uye akatonga muJerusarema kwemakore gumi nerimwe. Zita ramai vake rainzi Hamutari mwanasikana waJeremia; aibva kuRibhina.
2 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, sezvakangoitwa naJehoyakimi.
3 For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Izvi zvakaitika kuJerusarema neJudha nokuda kwehasha dzaJehovha, uye pakupedzisira akavabvisa pamberi pake. Zvino Zedhekia akamukira mambo weBhabhironi.
4 So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
Naizvozvo mugore rechipfumbamwe rokutonga kwaZedhekia, pazuva regumi romwedzi wegumi, Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi akasvika muJerusarema nehondo yake yose. Vakadzika misasa yavo kunze kweguta ndokuvaka nhare dzairipoteredza.
5 And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
Guta rakaramba rakakombwa kusvikira pagore regumi nerimwe ramambo Zedhekia.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
Pazuva rechipfumbamwe romwedzi wechina nzara yakanyanya muguta zvokuti makanga musisina chokudya chokuti vanhu vadye.
7 Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
Ipapo rusvingo rweguta rwakapwanyiwa, hondo yose ikatiza. Vakabuda muguta usiku napasuo raiva pakati pamasvingo maviri pedyo nebindu ramambo, kunyange zvazvo vaBhabhironi vakanga vakakomberedza guta. Vakatiza vakananga kuArabha,
8 but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
asi hondo yavaBhabhironi yakatevera Mambo Zedhekia vakamubata mumapani eJeriko. Varwi vake vose vakaparadzaniswa naye ndokupararira,
9 The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
iye akabatwa. Vakamutora vakaenda naye kuna mambo weBhabhironi paRibhira munyika yeHamati, iye akamutongerapo.
10 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
Mambo weBhabhironi akauraya vanakomana vaZedhekia paRibhira ipapo, iye achizviona; akaurayirwa machinda ose eJudha.
11 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
Ipapo akatumbura meso aZedhekia ndokumusunga namatare akamuendesa kuBhabhironi, uko kwaakamuisa mutorongo kusvikira pazuva rokufa kwake.
12 On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
Pazuva regumi romwedzi wechishanu, mugore regumi namapfumbamwe raNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi, Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi vamambo, uyo akashandira mambo weBhabhironi, akauya kuJerusarema.
13 He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
Akapisa temberi yaJehovha, nomuzinda wamambo nedzimba dzose dzeJerusarema. Dzimba dzose dzaikosha akadzipisa.
14 And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
Hondo yose yavaBhabhironi yaiva pasi pemukuru wavarindi vamambo yakaputsira pasi masvingo ose aikomberedza Jerusarema.
15 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi akaendesa kuutapwa vamwe vakanga vari varombo chaivo navaya vakasara muguta, pamwe chete noruzhinji rwemhizha navaya vakanga vazvipira kuna mambo weBhabhironi.
16 But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
Asi Nebhuzaradhani akasiya ruzhinji rwavarombo chaivo venyika iyo kuti vashande muminda yemizambiringa uye nemimwewo minda.
17 Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
VaBhabhironi vakaputsa mbiru dzendarira, nezvingoro zvinofamba neGungwa rendarira zvakanga zviri mutemberi yaJehovha vakatakura ndarira yose vakaenda nayo kuBhabhironi.
18 They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
Vakatorawo hari, nefoshoro, nembato dzemwenje, nomukombe namadhishi nemidziyo yose yendarira yaishandiswa pabasa romutemberi.
19 The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
Mukuru wavarindi vamambo akatakurawo mbiya, nezvaenga, nemikombe nehari, nezvigadziko zvemwenje, namadhishi nemikombe yaishandiswa pazvipiriso zvokunwa, zvose zvakanga zvakagadzirwa negoridhe yakanatswa kana sirivha.
20 As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
Ndarira yaibva pambiru mbiri, neGungwa, nehando dzendarira gumi nembiri dzaiva pasi pacho, nezvingoro zvakanga zvaitirwa temberi yaJehovha namambo Soromoni, zvakanga zvisingagoni kuyerwa.
21 Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
Mbiru imwe neimwe yakanga ina makubhiti gumi namasere pakureba uye makubhiti gumi namaviri pakupoterera; paukobvu imwe neimwe yaisvika minwe mina uye yaiva nemhango.
22 The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.
Musoro wendarira waiva pane imwe mbiru wakanga wakareba makubhiti anosvika mashanu uye wakashongedzwa nezvakarukwa namatamba endarira zvaipoteredza. Imwe mbiru yakanga yakafanana nayo namatamba ayowo.
23 Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
Pakanga pane matamba makumi mapfumbamwe namatanhatu kumativi; uwandu hwamatamba aiva pamusoro pezvakarukwa zvakanga zvakapoteredzwa hwaiva zana.
24 The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
Mukuru wavarindi akatora vasungwa vaiti, Seraya muprista mukuru, naZefania muprista aimutevera pachigaro uye navarindi vokumukova vatatu.
25 Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
Kuna avo vaiva muguta akatora muchinda mukuru wavarwi, uye vapi vamazano vanomwe. Akatorawo munyori uyo akanga ari mubati mukuru aiva nebasa rokunyora mazita avanhu venyika uye navamwe varume makumi matanhatu vakawanikwa muguta.
26 Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi akavatora vose akavauyisa kuna mambo weBhabhironi paRibhira.
27 There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
Ipapo paRibhira, munyika yeHamati, mambo akaita kuti vaurayiwe. Saka vaJudha vakaenda kuutapwa, kure nenyika yavo.
28 These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
Uhu ndihwo uwandu hwavanhu vakatorwa naNebhukadhinezari achienda navo kuutapwa: mugore rechinomwe, zviuru zvitatu zvina makumi maviri navatatu, zvavaJudha;
29 in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
mugore regumi namasere raNebhukadhinezari, mazana masere namakumi matatu navaviri avanhu vaibva kuJerusarema;
30 in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
mugore rake ramakumi maviri namatatu, vaJudha mazana manomwe namakumi mana navashanu vakaendeswa kuutapwa naNebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi vamambo. Vose vaiva zviuru zvina namazana matanhatu pamwe chete.
31 On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
Mugore ramakumi matatu namanomwe rokutapwa kwaJehoyakini mambo weJudha, mugore rakava Evhiri-Merodhaki mambo weBhabhironi, akasunungura Jehoyakini mambo weJudha, uye akamusunungura kubva mutorongo pazuva ramakumi maviri namashanu romwedzi wegumi nemiviri.
32 And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Akataura zvakanaka kwaari uye akamupa chigaro chaikudzwa kupfuura zvigaro zvamamwe madzimambo vaakanga anavo muBhabhironi.
33 So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
Saka Jehoyakini akabvisa nguo dzake dzousungwa akadya patafura yamambo nguva nenguva, mazuva ose oupenyu hwake.
34 And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
Zuva nezuva mambo weBhabhironi akapa Jehoyakini mugove wenguva nenguva, mazuva ose oupenyu hwake, kusvikira pazuva rokufa kwake.
