< Jeremiah 52 >
1 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Sedekia dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu baako. Odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dubaako. Na ne na din de Hamutal a ɔyɛ Yeremia a ofi Libna no babea.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea Yehoiakim yɛe no.
3 For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until He had cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Awurade abufuw nti na eyinom nyinaa baa Yerusalem ne Yuda so, na akyiri no, oyii nʼani fii wɔn so. Afei, Sedekia sɔre tiaa Babiloniahene.
4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
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.
5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Wotuaa kuropɔn no kosii Ɔhene Sedekia adedi afe a ɛto so dubaako no mu.
6 In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Eduu ɔsram a ɛto so anan no da a ɛto so akron no, na ɔkɔm a asi kuropɔn no mu no ano ayɛ den a mu nnipa no nnya aduan nni.
7 Then a breach was made in the city, 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 against the city round about — and they went by the way of the Arabah.
Na wɔpaee kuropɔn no fasu mu, na asraafo no nyinaa guanee. Wɔfaa ɔhene turo mu fii kuropɔn no mu anadwo, kɔfaa ɔpon a ɛwɔ afasu abien no ntam, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Araba.
8 But 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.
Nanso Babilonia asraafo no taa Ɔhene Sedekia kɔtoo no wɔ Yeriko tataw so. Na nʼasraafo no nyinaa afi ne ho abɔ ahwete,
9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.
na wɔkyeree no. Wɔfaa no dommum de no kɔmaa Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat asase so, na hɔ na obuu no atɛn.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
Ribla hɔ na Babiloniahene kunkum Sedekia mmabarima wɔ nʼanim na okum Yudafo adwumayɛfo nyinaa nso.
11 And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
Afei otutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere mfrafrae mpokyerɛ guu no sɛ ɔde no rekɔ Babilonia, hɔ na ɔde no too afiase kosii ne wuda.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem;
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.
13 and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burned he with fire.
Ɔde ogya too Awurade asɔredan, ahemfi ne afi a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa mu. Ɔhyew ofi biara a edi mu.
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Awɛmfo so panyin no hwɛ maa Babilonia asraafo no bubuu Yerusalem afasu no.
15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a na otua awɛmfo no ano no faa wɔn a wodi hia no mu bi, wɔn a wɔkaa kuropɔn no mu, adwumfo a wɔaka ne wɔn a wɔkɔdɔm Babiloniahene no kɔɔ nnommum mu.
16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
Nanso Nebusaradan gyaa wɔn a wodi hia wɔ asase no so no nkae sɛ wɔnhwɛ bobe nturo ne mfuw no.
17 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
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.
18 The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Afei wɔfaa nkuku, nsofi, kanea ntamabamma ntwitwaso, ɔpete nkuruwa, nsanka, mprɛte ne kɔbere mfrafrae nneɛma a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma wɔ asɔredan mu no nso kɔe.
19 And the cups, and the fire-pans, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the pans, and the bowls — that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver — the captain of the guard took away.
Ɔhene awɛmfo sahene no faa nkankyee, nkankyee ntrantraa, ɔpete nkuruwa, nkuku, kaneannua, nsanka, mprɛte ne nkuruwa a wɔde di ɔnom afɔrebɔ ho dwuma no kɔe; wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa anaa dwetɛ na ɛyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa.
20 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD — the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Kɔbere mfrafrae a wɔde yɛɛ afadum abien no, Po no ne anantwinini dumien a ɛwɔ nʼase ne nnyinaso a wɔmema so, na wontumi nkari saa nneɛma a Ɔhene Salomo yɛɛ wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu yi mu duru.
21 And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers; it was hollow.
Na afadum no biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu ason na ne dantaban mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Emu da tokuru na ne hankare no mu piw yɛ nsateaa anan.
22 And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.
Na kɔbere mfrafrae ntaaso a esi ɔfadum baako so no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa a, wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae atoaa ahyehyɛ ho nyinaa ahyia. Afadum a aka no nso a wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae atoaa ahyehyɛ ho no te sɛ baako no.
23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the outside; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about.
Na Kɔbere mfrafrae atoaa aba a ɛsensɛn ntaaso no ano no yɛ aduɔkron asia, na nea ɛkata ntaaso no ho yɛ ɔha.
24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;
Awɛmfo no sahene no faa ɔsɔfopanyin Seraia, abediakyiri Sefania ne ɔponanoahwɛfo baasa no nnommum.
25 and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
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.
26 And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan de wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Babiloniahene anim wɔ Ribla.
27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Ɔhene no ma wokunkum wɔn wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat. Enti wotwaa Yuda asu fii nʼasase so.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty;
Nnipa dodow a Nebukadnessar de wɔn kɔɔ nkoasom mu ni: nʼahenni afe a ɛto so ason mu, Yudafo 3,023;
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar, from Jerusalem, eight hundred thirty and two persons;
Nebukadnessar ahenni afe a ɛto so dunwɔtwe mu, nnipa a wofi Yerusalem, 832;
30 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons; all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
nʼahenni afe a ɛto so aduonu abiɛsa mu, ɔsahene Nebusaradan, a otua ɔhene awɛmfo ano no de Yudafo 745 kɔɔ nnommum mu. Nnipa no nyinaa dodow yɛ 4,600.
31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.
Yudahene Yehoiakyin nnommumfa afe a ɛto so aduasa ason mu a Ewil-Merodak bɛyɛɛ Babiloniahene no, oyii Yudahene Yehoiakyin fii afiase wɔ ɔsram a ɛto so dumien no da a ɛto so aduonu anum.
32 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
Ɔkaa abodwosɛm kyerɛɛ no, na ɔmaa no dibea a ɛwɔ anuonyam sen ahemfo a wɔne no wɔ Babilonia no de.
33 And he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days 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.
34 And for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Na Babiloniahene no san maa Yehoiakin sika bere ano bere ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka, kosii ne wuda.
