< 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.
Zedekia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe wuiɖekɛ. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Hamutal, Yeremia ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòtso Libna.
2 And he did [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si Yehoyakim wɔe ene.
3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Yehowa ƒe dziku tae nu siawo katã va Yerusalem kple Yuda dzi ɖo. Eye le nuwuwu la, eɖe wo ɖa le eƒe ŋkuta. Ke azɔ la, Zedekia dze aglã ɖe Babilonia fia ŋuti.
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 pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
Ale le Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe asiekɛlia me, le ɣleti ewolia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia dzi la, Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar ho kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ɖe Yerusalem dua ŋuti. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe gli la godo eye woƒu kpo ƒo xlã du la.
5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Woɖe to ɖe du la va se ɖe fia Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiɖekɛlia me.
6 And 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.
Le ɣleti enelia ƒe ŋkeke asiekɛlia dzi la, dɔ si to ɖe dua me la nu sẽ ale gbegbe be nuɖuɖu aɖeke meganɔ dua me na ameawo woaɖu o.
7 Then the city was broken up, 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] by the city round about: ) and they went by the way of the plain.
Kasia, woŋɔ gli si woɖo ƒo xlã du la eye asrafoha si le dua me la katã si dzo. Togbɔ be Babiloniatɔwo ɖe to ɖe dua hã la, wodze agbagba si le zãtitina to agbo si le gli eveawo dome eye wòte ɖe fia ƒe amabɔ ŋuti la me. Ale woɖo ta Araba gbegbe
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.
gake Babilonia ƒe aʋakɔ la ti Fia Zedekia yome eye wòva tui le Yeriko tagba. Woma eya kple eƒe asrafowo dome eye asrafoawo kaka gbẽe.
9 Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
Ke wolé eya ŋutɔ. Wokplɔe yi na Babilonia fia le Ribla, le Hamatnyigba dzi, afi si wòbu fɔe le.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
Le Ribla la, Babilonia fia wu Zedekia ƒe viwo katã le eŋkume, hekpe ɖe Yuda ƒe dumegãwo ŋu.
11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
Emegbe Babilonia fia gbã Zedekia ƒe ŋkuwo heblae kple akɔblikɔsɔkɔsɔ eye wòkplɔe yi Babilonia afi si wòdee gaxɔ me ɖo va se ɖe eƒe kugbe.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, which [was] the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, [which] served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
Le ɣleti atɔ̃lia ƒe ŋkeke ewoa gbe, le fia Nebukadnezar ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiasiekɛlia me la, Nebuzaradan, aʋafia si wɔ dɔ le Babilonia fia te la va Yerusalem.
13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great [men], burned he with fire:
Etɔ dzo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, fiasã la kple aƒe siwo le Yerusalem. Vavã, etɔ dzo aƒe vevi ɖe sia ɖe.
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that [were] with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Babiloniatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo si le aʋafia la ƒe kpɔkplɔ te la gbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo katã keŋkeŋ.
15 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive [certain] of the poor 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 rest of the multitude.
Aʋafia, Nebuzaradan kplɔ ame dahewo, ame siwo susɔ ɖe dua me kple aɖaŋudɔwɔlawo kple ame siwo si Babilonia fia tso la yi aboyo mee.
16 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left [certain] of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
Gake Nebuzaradan gblẽ anyigba la ƒe ame dahewo ɖi be woawɔ dɔ le waingblewo kple agble bubuwo dzi.
17 Also the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
Babiloniatɔwo gbã akɔblisɔti, akɔblizɔ kple woƒe anyinɔwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wolɔ akɔbliawo katã yi Babilonia.
18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Wotsɔ zɔwo, sofiwo, akaɖiɖovusẽhɛ, treawo, agbawo kple akɔblinu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le subɔsubɔ me le gbedoxɔ me la hã dzoe.
19 And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; [that] which [was] of gold [in] gold, and [that] which [was] of silver [in] silver, took the captain of the guard away.
Fiaŋusrafowo ƒe tatɔ la tsɔ gagbawo, dzoɖesonuwo, trewo, zewo, akaɖitiwo, nuɖugbawo kple gagba siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le nunovɔsa me la hã dzoe, nu siwo wowɔ kple sika nyuitɔ alo klosalo.
20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that [were] under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Akɔbli si woɖe le akɔblisɔti eveawo, gazɔwo kple akɔblinyitsu wuieve siwo le wo te kple eƒe afɔtiwo ŋuti, siwo fia Solomo wɔ na Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, nu siawo katã ƒe akɔbli mele dada me o.
21 And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof [was] four fingers: [it was] hollow.
Sɔti ɖe sia ɖe kɔkɔ “mita” asiekɛ, eye wòkeke “mita” ade, ɖe sia ɖe ƒe titrime anye asibidɛ ene eye do le wo me.
22 And a chapiter of brass [was] upon it; and the height of one chapiter [was] five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all [of] brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates [were] like unto these.
Wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ kukuvi ɖe sɔti ɖe sia ɖe tame, kukuvi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe kɔkɔme nye “mita” eve kple afã. Wolɔ̃ ɖɔ tɔxɛ aɖe tsɔ do atsiã na kukuviawo godoo va kpe eye nenema ke wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ nu si woyɔna be yevuboɖa la ɖe kukuviawo ŋuti godoo va kpe ɖe atsiã tɔxɛ me. Nɔnɔme sia tɔgbi ke mee wowɔ sɔti evelia hã ɖo.
23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; [and] all the pomegranates upon the network [were] an hundred round about.
Yevuboɖa blaasiekɛ-vɔ-ade le axawo dzi, eye esiwo katã wolɔ̃ ƒo xlã sɔtiawo la le alafa ɖeka.
24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Aʋafia la ɖe aboyo nunɔlagã Seraya, eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Zefania kple agbonudzɔla etɔ̃awo.
25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe 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.
Ekplɔ asrafo siwo gale aʋa wɔm la ƒe amegã kple fia ƒe aɖaŋuɖola adre, le ame siwo gasusɔ ɖe dua me la dome dzoe. Egakplɔ agbalẽŋlɔla si nye dɔnunɔlagã si dia amewo dea asrafodɔ me kple eŋutime blaade siwo ŋu wòke ɖo le dua me la hã dzoe.
26 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Aʋafia Nebuzaradan kplɔ wo yi na Babilonia fia le Ribla.
27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
Le Ribla, le Hamatnyigba dzi, afi ma fia la na wowu wo ɖo. Ale Yuda yi aboyo me, hedzo le eƒe denyigba dzi.
28 This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
Esia nye ame siwo Nebukadnezar kplɔ yi aboyo mee la ƒe xexlẽme: Le eƒe ƒe adrelia me, Yudatɔwo, ame akpe etɔ̃ kple blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃;
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
Le Nebukadnezar ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me, Yerusalemtɔ alafa enyi kple blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve;
30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan 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.
Le eƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia me, Yudatɔ alafa adre blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃, ame siwo aʋafia Nebuzaradan kplɔ dzoe. Aboyomeyilawo katã le ame akpe ane, alafa ade.
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,
Le Yuda fia, Yehoyatsin ƒe aboyomenɔnɔ ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adrelia me, le ƒe si me Evil Merodak zu fia le Babilonia la, eɖe Yuda fia Yehoyatsin tso gaxɔ me le ɣleti wuievelia ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-atɔ̃lia dzi.
32 And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon,
Eƒo nu nɛ lɔlɔ̃tɔe eye wòna bubuteƒe si kɔ wu fia siwo katã li kpli le Babilonia la tɔ.
33 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
Ale Yehoyatsin ɖe eƒe gaxɔmewu da ɖi, heɖu nu le fia ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
34 And [for] his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Babilonia fia naa Yehoyatsin ƒe gbe sia gbe nuhiahiãwoe le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me va se ɖe eƒe kugbe.
