< Jeremiah 52 >

1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Zedekaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na otu mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị dị ka eze na Jerusalem afọ iri na otu. Aha nne ya bụ Hamutal nwa Jeremaya, onye Libna.
2 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Jehoiakim mere.
3 For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Ọ bụ nʼihi iwe Onyenwe anyị ka ihe ndị a niile ji bịakwasị Jerusalem na Juda. Nʼikpeazụ, o sitere nʼihu ya chụpụ ha. Nʼoge a, Zedekaya nupuru isi nʼokpuru eze Babilọn.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem; and they encamped against it, and built turrets against it round about.
Nʼihi ya, nʼafọ nke itoolu, nke ọchịchị Zedekaya, nʼụbọchị nke iri nʼọnwa nke iri, nke afọ ahụ, Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn, duuru usuu ndị agha ya niile bịa ibuso Jerusalem agha. Ha mara ụlọ ikwu ndị agha nʼazụ obodo ahụ, wuokwa mgbidi nnọchibido gburugburu obodo ahụ.
5 And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Anọchibidoro obodo a nʼagha ruo nʼafọ nke iri na otu nke ọchịchị eze Zedekaya.
6 In the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Nʼabalị nke itoolu, nke ọnwa anọ nʼafọ ahụ, oke ụnwụ siri ike dị nʼobodo ahụ ruo na ọ dịkwaghị nri dị nke ndị mmadụ ga-eri.
7 And the city was broken into: and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were near the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.
Mgbe ahụ, e tipuru oghere nʼaja mgbidi obodo ahụ, ndị agha niile ji abalị gbapụ site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼetiti mgbidi abụọ nʼakụkụ ubi eze a gbara ogige, nʼagbanyeghị na ndị Babilọn nọ obodo ahụ gburugburu. Ha gbapụrụ chee ihu nʼụzọ Araba.
8 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Ma usuu ndị agha Babilọn chụsoro Zedekaya bụ eze nʼazụ, chụkwute ya na mbara ala Jeriko. Ndị agha ya niile sitere nʼebe ọ nọ gbasasịa, hapụ ya,
9 And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him.
e jide ya. Ha kpụgara ya eze Babilọn, nʼobodo Ribla, nke dị nʼala Hamat, ebe a nọ maa ya ikpe.
10 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
Na Ribla ka eze Babilọn nọ gbuo ụmụ ndị ikom Zedekaya niile, nʼihu ya, o gbukwara ndịisi ọchịchị Juda niile.
11 And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
Ọ ghụpụrụ anya Zedekaya abụọ, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, kpụrụ ya gaa Babilọn, ebe o tinyere ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ tutu ruo ụbọchị ọnwụ ya.
12 And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;
Nʼụbọchị nke iri, nʼọnwa nke ise, nke afọ iri na itoolu, nke ọchịchị Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, Nebuzaradan ọchịagha ndị nche eze, onye na-ejere eze Babilọn ozi, bịarutere Jerusalem.
13 and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.
O sunyere ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọkụ, ụlọeze na ụlọ niile dị na Jerusalem, ụlọ ọbụla bụ nke dị mkpa ka o surere ọkụ.
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the body-guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Usuu ndị agha Kaldịa niile bụ ndị nọ nʼokpuru onyeisi ndị nche eze ahụ, kwaturu mgbidi ahụ niile gbara Jerusalem gburugburu.
15 And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche eze, buru ụfọdụ nʼime ndị dakarịsịrị nʼogbenye na ndị fọdụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ, ha na ndị ǹka niile fọdụrụ, na ndị ahụ ji aka ha gbakwuru eze Babilọn, bulaa ha Babilọn, ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ.
16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
Ma Nebuzaradan, hapụrụ ndị ahụ bụ nnọọ ndị ogbenye ọnụ ntụ, ka ha na-elekọta ubi vaịnị niile a gbara ogige na ala ubi niile.
17 And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke up, and carried all the brass thereof to Babylon.
Ma ndị Babilọn tipịara ogidi bronz niile, ha na ihe ndọkwasị niile na Oke osimiri bronz ndị ahụ dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, buru bronz ahụ niile bulaa Babilọn.
18 The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away.
Ha chịkọọrọ ite niile, na shọvel niile na ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ niile, na efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile, na ngaji ukwu niile, na ihe bronz niile, bụ nke e ji eje ozi nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
19 And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.
Ọchịagha ndị nche eze ahụ sikwa nʼụlọnsọ ahụ chịrị ihe ndị a: efere ukwu niile, ihe ịgụnye ọkụ niile, efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile, ite niile, ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna niile, ngaji ukwu niile na iko e ji enye onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ, ya bụ ihe ndị ahụ niile e ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha maọbụ ọlaọcha kpụọ.
20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.
O burukwara bronz sitere nʼogidi abụọ ahụ, oke Osimiri ahụ na ehi iri na abụọ e ji bronz kpụọ, bụ nke dị nʼokpuru ya, na ihe ndọkwasị ya niile, nke eze bụ Solomọn mere nʼihi ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ha karịrị ihe a ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ tụọ.
21 And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
Ị dị elu nke otu nʼime ogidi abụọ ndị a bụ mita asatọ na ụma nʼọtụtụ. Ị dị gburugburu ya bụkwa mita ise na ụma anọ, nke ọbụla nʼime ha bụ mkpịsịaka anọ. Oghere dịkwa nʼime ha.
22 And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital [was] five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates.
Isi bronz nke e kpụkwasịrị nʼotu ogidi dị mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼịdị elu. Ọ bụkwa ihe yiri mkpụrụ pomegranet e ji bronz kpaa, ka e ji chọọ ya mma gburugburu ya niile. Ogidi nke abụọ nwekwara pomegranet, yiri ibe ya.
23 And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the [four] sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.
Pomegranet ndị ahụ dị iri itoolu na isii, ọ bụkwa nʼakụkụ ọbụla ka ọ dị. Ọnụọgụgụ pomegranet niile dị nʼelu ihe ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ dị otu narị.
24 And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.
Ọchịagha ndị nche eze ahụ, kpụụrụ Seraya, onyeisi nchụaja, na Zefanaya, bụ onye nchụaja na-esote ya nʼọkwa, na ndị nche atọ na-eche ọnụ ụzọ mbata dịka ndị mkpọrọ.
25 And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land. And sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the midst of the city.
O sitere nʼetiti ndị ahụ fọdụrụ nʼobodo kpụụrụ otu onyeisi na-ahụ maka ndị agha, na ndị ikom asaa na-enye eze ndụmọdụ. O kpukwaara ode akwụkwọ, onye isi ọrụ na-ahụ maka ịmanye ndị ga-aga agha, jidekwa iri ndị ikom isii bụ ndị a hụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ.
26 And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
Nebuzaradan, bụ ọchịagha kpụụrụ ha niile, dute ha nʼihu eze Babilọn na Ribla.
27 and the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Nʼebe ahụ na Ribla, dị nʼobodo Hamat, ka eze nọ nye iwu ka e gbuo ha niile. Ya mere, a dọọrọ Juda nʼagha, mee ka ọ ga biri nʼala ọzọ.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
Nke a bụ ọnụọgụgụ ndị ahụ Nebukadneza mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala ọzọ. Nʼafọ nke asaa nke ọchịchị ya, puku atọ ndị Juu na iri abụọ na atọ, 3,023.
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive] from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;
Nʼafọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Nebukadneza, ka o mere ka narị mmadụ asatọ na iri atọ na abụọ, 832 si na Jerusalem gaa biri nʼala ọzọ.
30 in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na atọ, Nebuzaradan, onyeisi ndị nche alaeze Babilọn bulara ndị dị narị ndị Juu asaa na iri anọ na ise, 745 ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ. Ọnụọgụgụ ha niile dị puku anọ na narị isii, 4,600.
31 And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;
Nʼafọ nke iri atọ na asaa, site na mgbe e mere ka Jehoiakin eze Juda gaa biri nʼala ọzọ, nʼafọ Awel-Maduk ghọrọ eze Babilọn. Mgbe ahụ, o mere ka Jehoiakin eze Juda, si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ pụta, nwere onwe ya. O mere nke a nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na ise nke ọnwa iri na abụọ.
32 and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
Ọ gwara ya okwu ọma, nyekwa ya ọnọdụ ugwu dị elu karịa ọnọdụ ndị eze ndị ọzọ niile ha na ya nọ na Babilọn.
33 And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
Nʼihi nke a, Jehoiakin gbanwere uwe mkpọrọ ya, wezuga ya. Sitekwa nʼoge ahụ tutu ruo mgbe ọ nwụrụ, ya na eze na-erikọ nri.
34 and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, eze Babilọn na-enye Jehoiakin oke ihe ruru ya kwa ụbọchị niile nke ọ dị ndụ, ruokwa nʼụbọchị ọnwụ ya.
