2 Kings 25
1 And in the ninth yeere of his reigne, the tenth moneth and tenth day of the moneth Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came, he, and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and they built fortes against it round about it.
Ɔsram Tebet (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛpɔn) da a ɛto so dunum wɔ Sedekia ahenni mfe akron so no, ɔhene Nebukadnessar dii nʼakofo nyinaa anim, bɛko tiaa Yerusalem. Wotwaa kuropɔn no ho hyiae. Wɔbobɔɔ mpampim wɔ kuropɔn no afasu ho.
2 So the citie was besieged vnto the eleueth yeere of King Zedekiah.
Wɔkaa Yerusalem hyɛɛ kosii ɔhene Sedekia ahenni no mfe dubaako so.
3 And the ninth day of the moneth the famine was sore in the citie, so that there was no bread for the people of the lande.
Eduu Tammus ɔsram (bɛyɛ Kitawonsa) da a ɛto so dunwɔtwe no, Sedekia ahenni mfe dubaako mu no, na ɔkɔm a aba kuropɔn no mu no ano ayɛ den yiye, ama wɔn aduan a aka no nyinaa asa.
4 Then the citie was broken vp, and all the men of warre fled by night, by the way of the gate, which is betweene two walles that was by the Kings garden: nowe the Caldees were by the citie round about: and the King went by the way of the wildernesse.
Na kuropɔn no fasu fa bi abu agu fam nti, asraafo no nyinaa yɛɛ adwene sɛ, wobeguan afi kuropɔn no mu. Nanso esiane sɛ na Babiloniafo atwa kuropɔn no ho ahyia nti, wɔtwɛn kosii anadwo, na woguan faa ɔpon a ɛda afasu abien a ɛwɔ ɔhene no nturo no mu mu. Wɔyɛɛ ntɛm faa wuramkwan de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Yordan bon no.
5 But the armie of the Caldees pursued after the King, and tooke him in the desertes of Iericho, and all his hoste was scattered from him.
Nanso Babiloniafo no tiw wɔn, kɔkyeree ɔhene no wɔ Yeriko tataw so, efisɛ na ne mmarima no nyinaa aguan agya no saa bere no.
6 Then they tooke the King, and caried him vp to the King of Babel to Riblah, where they gaue iudgement vpon him.
Wɔde no brɛɛ Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla ma wobuu no atɛn.
7 And they slew the sonnes of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bounde him in chaines, and caried him to Babel.
Babiloniahene maa Sedekia de nʼani kann hwɛɛ sɛ, wɔrekunkum ne mmabarima nyinaa. Afei, wotutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guu no, na wɔde no kɔɔ Babilonia.
8 And in the fift moneth, and seuenth day of the moneth, which was the nineteenth yere of King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, came Nebuzar-adan chiefe stewarde and seruaunt of the King of Babel, to Ierusalem,
Ab ɔsram (bɛyɛ Ɔsannaa) da ɛto so dunan wɔ afe a ɛyɛ Nebukadnessar mfe dunkron adedi mu no, Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfo so panyin a ɔyɛ Babiloniahene mpanyimfo no mu baako no kɔɔ Yerusalem.
9 And burnt the house of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.
Ɔde ogya too Awurade asɔredan, ahemfi ne afi a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa mu. Ɔhyew ofi biara a edi mu.
10 And all the armie of the Caldees that were with the chiefe stewarde, brake downe the walles of Ierusalem round about.
Awɛmfo so panyin no hwɛ maa Babilonia asraafo no bubuu Yerusalem afasu no.
11 And the rest of the people that were left in the citie, and those that were fled and fallen to the King of Babel, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward carie away captiue.
Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfo so panyin no kyekyeree wɔn a wɔkaa wɔ kuropɔn no mu no, twaa wɔn ne nnipa a aka no ne asraafo a wɔdaa wɔn ho adi sɛ wɔtaa Babiloniahene akyi no asu.
12 But the chiefe steward left of the poore of the land to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
Na awɛmfo so panyin no maa mmɔborɔfo no mu bi tenaa Yuda, sɛ wɔnhwɛ bobe mfuw ne mfuw foforo a ɛka ho no so.
13 Also the pillars of brasse that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Caldees breake, and caried the brasse of them to Babel.
Babiloniafo no bubuu kɔbere mfrafrae afadum, nnyinasode a wotumi moma so ne kɔbere mfrafrae Po a na ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan mu, na wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae no nyinaa kɔɔ Babilonia.
14 The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musike, and the incense dishes, and al the vessels of brasse that they ministred in, tooke they away.
Wɔtasee nkuku, sofi, akanea adabaw, nsanka ne kɔbere mfrafrae nneɛma ahorow a wɔde di wɔn afɔrebɔ ho dwuma wɔ Asɔredan no mu no nyinaa.
15 And the asshe pannes, and the basens, and all that was of gold, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,
Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfo so panyin no san tasee nkankyee a wɔnoa mu ne nhweaseammɔ ne nkuku ne nkaka nkae a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ ayɛ no nyinaa.
16 With the two pillars, one Sea and the bases, which Salomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
Kɔbere mfrafrae a wonya fii afadum abien, nsu teaseɛnam ne Po no mu no, na emu yɛ duru dodo sɛ wobetumi akari. Ɔhene Salomo bere so na ɔyɛɛ saa nneɛma yi guu Awurade Asɔredan mu.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteene cubits, and the chapiter thereon was brasse, and the height of the chapiter was with networke three cubites, and pomegranates vpon the chapiter rounde about, all of brasse: and likewise was the second pillar with the networke.
Na afadum no mu biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu ason. Kɔbere mfrafrae no ntaaso a ɛdeda afadum no mu biara so no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa a wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae no ara bi a ɛyɛ ɔtan sɛso ne atoa aba sɛso, atwa ho nyinaa ahyia de asiesie no. Na ɔfadum a ɛka ho no siesiebea ne no sesɛ.
18 And the chiefe steward tooke Seraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the second Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.
Awɛmfo no sahene no faa ɔsɔfopanyin Seraia, abediakyiri Sefania ne ɔponanoahwɛfo baasa no nnommum.
19 And out of the citie hee tooke an Eunuch that had the ouersight of the men of warre, and fiue men of them that were in the Kinges presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captaine of the hoste, who mustred the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the lande, that were founde in the citie.
Ɔfaa ɔpanyin a otua asraafo no ano, ne adehye afotufo baason fii nnipa a na wɔda so wɔ kuropɔn no mu no mu. Afei ɔfaa ɔkyerɛwfo a na ɔyɛ adwumayɛfo panyin ma wɔn a wɔfa nnipa ma wɔkɔyɛ asraafo wɔ asase no so, ne nʼadwumayɛfo no mu aduosia a ohuu wɔn wɔ kuropɔn no mu no.
20 And Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the King of Babel to Riblah.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan de wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Babiloniahene anim wɔ Ribla.
21 And the King of Babel smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne land.
Ɔhene no ma wokunkum wɔn wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat. Enti wotwaa Yuda asu fii nʼasase so.
22 Howbeit there remained people in the land of Iudah, whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel left, and made Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan ruler ouer them.
Ɔhene Nebukadnessar yii Ahikam babarima Gedalia a na ɔyɛ Safan nena sɛ amrado a na ɔhwɛ nnipa a wɔkaa wɔ Yuda no so.
23 Then when all the captaines of the host and their men heard, that the king of Babel had made Gedaliah gouernour, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, to wit, Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Seraiah the sonne of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Iaazaniah the sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.
Bere a asraafodɔm so asahene ne wɔn mmarima tee sɛ Babiloniahene asi Gedalia amrado no, wɔkɔkaa ne ho wɔ Mispa. Nnipa a wɔkɔkaa ne ho no ne Netania babarima Ismael, Karea babarima Yohanan, Tanhumet a ofi Netofa babarima Seraia ne Maakatni babarima Yaasania ne wɔn mmarima nyinaa.
24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and sayd vnto them, Feare not to be the seruants of the Caldees: dwell in the land, and serue the King of Babel, and ye shalbe well.
Gedalia dii nsew, kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, Babilonia mpanyimfo no amma hɔ ɔhaw so. Otuu wɔn fo se, “Munnsuro sɛ mobɛsom Babiloniafo. Montena asase no so na monsom Babiloniahene, na ebesi mo yiye.”
25 But in the seuenth moneth Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah the sonne of Elishama of the Kings seede, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, and he died, and so did he the Iewes, and the Caldees that were with him at Mizpah.
Tisri ɔsram (bɛyɛ Ɛbɔ ne Ahinime ntam) no mpaemu wɔ saa afe no mu no, Netania babarima Ismael a ɔyɛ Elisama nena a na ofi adehye abusua mu no de mmarima du kɔɔ Mispa, kokum Gedalia ne nnipa a na wɔka ne ho a wɔyɛ Yudafo ne Babiloniafo no nyinaa.
26 Then all ye people both small and great, and the captaines of the armie arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraide of the Caldees.
Afei, nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa, efi akumaa so, kosi ɔkɛse so ne asraafodɔm asahene bɔɔ huboa, na woguan kɔɔ Misraim, efisɛ na wosuro sɛ Babiloniafo no bɛyɛ wɔn biribi.
27 Notwithstanding in the seuen and thirtieth yeere after Iehoiachin King of Iudah was caried away, in the twelft moneth and the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel in the yeere that hee began to reigne, did lift vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah out of the prison,
Ɔhene Yehoiakyin dii mfe aduasa ason wɔ nʼasutwa mu wɔ Babilonia no, Ewil-Merodak bedii Babiloniahene. Ohuu Yehoiakyin mmɔbɔ, enti oyii no fii afiase saa afe no ara mu Adar ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛto so abien.
28 And spake kindly to him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings that were with him in Babel,
Ɔkaa abodwosɛm kyerɛɛ no, na ɔmaa no dibea a ɛwɔ anuonyam sen ahemfo a wɔne no wɔ Babilonia no de.
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eate bread before him, all the dayes of his life.
Enti Yehoiakin yii nʼafiase ntade guu nkyɛn, na efi saa da no odidii wɔ ɔhene didipon so bere biara, kosii ne wuda.
30 And his portion was a continual portion giuen him by the King, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life.
Na Babiloniahene no san maa Yehoiakin sika bere ano bere ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka, kosii ne wuda.
