< Jeremias 52 >

1 It was the twenty-first year of Sedekias, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Amitaal, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobena.
Zedekia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Hamutali mwarĩ wa Jeremia; nake oimĩte Libina.
2
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehoiakimu eekĩte.
3
Na nĩ ũndũ wa marakara ma Jehova-rĩ, nĩkĩo maũndũ macio mothe meekĩkire kũu Jerusalemu na Juda, na mũthia-inĩ akĩmaingata mehere mbere yake. Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia akĩremera mũthamaki wa Babuloni, akĩaga gwathĩka.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwaka-inĩ wa kenda wa ũthamaki wa Zedekia, mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri wa ikũmi-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩthiĩ kũhũũrana na Jerusalemu arĩ na ita rĩake rĩothe, nao makĩamba hema nja ya itũũra rĩu inene, na magĩaka ihumbu cia tĩĩri mĩena yothe yarĩo cia kũmateithia gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu.
5 So the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,
Narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩgĩikara rĩrĩ irigiicĩrie nginya mwaka wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa ũthamaki wa Zedekia.
6 on the ninth day of the month, and [then] the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri wa kana, ngʼaragu ĩkĩneneha mũno kũu itũũra-inĩ, o nginya gũkĩaga irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
7 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rũkĩmomorwo, nacio mbũtũ ciothe cia ita ikĩũra. Moimire itũũra-inĩ ũtukũ magereire kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ hakuhĩ na mũgũnda wa mũthamaki, o na gũtuĩka andũ a Babuloni nĩmarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe. Nao makĩũra merekeire Araba,
8 But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the [country] beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from [about] him.
no mbũtũ ya ita ya Babuloni ĩgĩtengʼeria Mũthamaki Zedekia nginya ĩkĩmũkinyĩra werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Jeriko. Thigari ciake ciothe ikĩamũranio nake ikĩhurunjwo.
9 And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him.
Nayo mbũtũ ya ita ya Babuloni ĩkĩnyiita Mũthamaki Zedekia. Makĩmũtwara kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni ũrĩa warĩ kũu Ribila, bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, na kũu nĩkuo aamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he slew all the princes of Juda in Deblatha.
Mũthamaki wa Babuloni arĩ kũu Ribila nĩoragithirie ariũ a Zedekia o hau maitho-inĩ ma ithe wao; agĩcooka akĩũragithia anene othe a Juda.
11 And he put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.
Nĩacookire agĩkũũrithia Zedekia maitho, na akĩmuoha na bĩngũ cia gĩcango, akĩmũtwara Babuloni, na kũu akĩmũikia njeera nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
12 And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
Mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri wa ĩtano, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na kenda wa gũthamaka kwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni-rĩ, Nebuzaradani mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki wa Babuloni, ũrĩa watungataga mũthamaki wa Babuloni, agĩũka Jerusalemu,
13 and he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of the city, and every great house he burnt with fire.
agĩcina hekarũ ya Jehova, na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o na nyũmba ciothe cia Jerusalemu. Ningĩ agĩcina nyũmba o yothe yarĩ ya bata kuo.
14 And the host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
Nayo mbũtũ yothe ya ita ya Babuloni, ĩtongoretio nĩ mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, ĩkĩmomora thingo ciothe iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu.
Nebuzaradani ũcio warĩ mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki nĩatahire andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno, na andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, hamwe na mabundi marĩa mangĩ, o na andũ arĩa metwarĩte o ene kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
16 But the captain of the guard left the remnant of the people to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
No Nebuzaradani nĩatigire andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno a bũrũri ũcio kuo, nĩguo marutage wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ ya mĩthabibũ na mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
17 And the Chaldeans broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and they took the brass thereof, and carried it away to Babylon.
Andũ a Babuloni makiunanga itugĩ cia gĩcango, na metha cia kũigĩrĩrwo indo, na Karia karĩa kaarĩ ga gĩcango, iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, magĩkuua gĩcango kĩu gĩothe magĩgĩtwara Babuloni.
18 Also the rim, and the bowls, and the flesh-hooks, and all the brazen vessels, wherewith they ministered;
Ningĩ magĩkuua nyũngũ, na icakũri, na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria maaĩ, na thaani, o na indo ciothe cia gĩcango iria ciahũthagĩrwo wĩra-inĩ wa hekarũ, magĩthiĩ nacio.
19 and the basons, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard took away.
Mũnene ũcio wa thigari cia mũthamaki nĩakuuire mbakũri iria nene, na Ngĩo, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria maaĩ, na nyũngũ, na mĩtĩ ya matawa, na thaani, o na mbakũri iria ciahũthagĩrwo na kũruta maruta ma kũnyuuo, iria ciothe ciathondeketwo na thahabu ĩrĩa therie kana betha.
20 And the two pillars, and the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen under the sea, which [things] king Solomon made for the house of the Lord; the brass of which [articles] was without weight.
Gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarutirwo itugĩ-inĩ icio cierĩ, na Karia kau, na ndegwa iria ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia gĩcango iria ciarĩ rungu rwako, na metha, iria Mũthamaki Solomoni aathondekete cia hekarũ ya Jehova, gĩtingĩathimĩkire nĩ kũingĩha.
21 And as for the pillars, the height of one pillar was thirty-five cubits; and a line of twelve cubits compassed it round; and the thickness of it [all] round was four fingers.
O gĩtugĩ kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩnana kũraiha, na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ gũthiũrũrũka; na o kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ na ũtungu wa ciara inya, na kĩarĩ na irima gatagatĩ.
22 And [there was] a brazen chapiter upon them, and the length was five cubits, [even] the height of one chapiter; and [there were] on the chapiter round about network and pomegranates, all of brass: and correspondingly the second pillar [had] eight pomegranates to a cubit for the twelve cubits.
Kĩongo gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau gĩtugĩ-igũrũ, o kĩmwe kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha, na gĩkagemio na rũgara rũrĩ na makomamanga ma gĩcango gũthiũrũrũkĩria. Gĩtugĩ kĩu kĩngĩ gĩa keerĩ, kĩrĩ na makomamanga makĩo nĩkĩahaanaine biũ na kĩu kĩngĩ kĩa mbere.
23 And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network round about were a hundred.
Na haarĩ na makomamanga mĩrongo kenda na matandatũ maacuuhĩte mĩena-inĩ; makomamanga mothe marĩa maathiũrũrũkĩirie igũrũ wa magemio macio ma rũgara maarĩ igana rĩmwe.
24 And the captain of the guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and those that kept the way;
Mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri nĩanyiitire Seraia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na Zefania mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa wa keerĩ harĩ we, o na andũ arĩa atatũ maarangagĩra mũrango.
25 and one eunuch, who was over the men of war, and seven men of renown, who were in the king's presence that were found in the city; and the scribe of the forces, who did the part of a scribe to the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
Harĩ andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ inene, akĩnyiita mũnene ũrĩa warũgamĩrĩire andũ a mbaara, na akĩnyiita andũ mũgwanja arĩa maataaraga mũthamaki. Ningĩ akĩnyiita karani ũrĩa mũnene, ũrĩa wandĩkithagia andũ a gũthiĩ ita a bũrũri ũcio, na andũ ake mĩrongo ĩtandatũ arĩa maakorirwo itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene.
26 And Nabuzardan the captain of the king's guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Deblatha.
Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmakuua othe, akĩmatwarĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni kũu Ribila.
27 And the king of Babylon smote them in Deblatha, in the land of Aemath.
Kũu Ribila, bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, nĩkuo mũthamaki ũcio wa Babuloni aamoragithĩirie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Juda magĩtahwo, magĩtwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ, makĩrutwo bũrũri wao.
Ũyũ nĩguo mũigana wa andũ arĩa Nebukadinezaru aatahire akĩmatwara bũrũri ũngĩ: mwaka-inĩ wa mũgwanja aatahire Ayahudi 3,023;
naguo mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa ũthamaki wa Nebukadinezaru, agĩtaha andũ 832 kuuma Jerusalemu;
o naguo mwaka-inĩ wake wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ, agĩtaha Ayahudi 745 magĩtwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ nĩ Nebuzaradani ũcio mwathi wa arangĩri a mũthamaki. Andũ acio othe maarĩ 4,600.
31 And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year after that Joakim king of Juda had been carried away captive, in the twelfth month, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Ulaemadachar king of Babylon, in the year in which he began to reign, raised the head of Joakim king of Juda, and shaved him, and brought him out of the house where he was kept,
Na gũgĩkinya atĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mũgwanja kuuma rĩrĩa Jekonia, mũthamaki wa Juda, aatwarirwo bũrũri ũngĩ, mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa Evili-Merodaki aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Babuloni-rĩ, nĩohorithirie Jekonia mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩmũrekereria oime njeera mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano wa mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
32 and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the kings that were with him in Babylon,
Nĩamwarĩirie na ũhooreri, na akĩmũhe gĩtĩ gĩa kũmũtũgĩria gũkĩra athamaki acio angĩ maarĩ nao kũu Babuloni.
33 and changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days that he lived.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jekonia akĩruta nguo ciake cia njeera, na agĩtũũra arĩĩanagĩra irio na mũthamaki matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo.
34 And his appointed portion was given him continually by the king of Babylon from day to day, until the day when he died.
Mũthamaki ũcio wa Babuloni nĩaheaga Jekonia indo cia kũmũteithia o mũthenya matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo, nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
