< 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 the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Zedekiya anali wa zaka 21 pamene analowa ufumu, ndipo analamulira zaka 11 ku Yerusalemu. Amayi ake anali Hamutali mwana wa Yeremiya wa ku Libina.
2 He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, monga momwe anachitira Yehoyakimu.
3 For through the anger of the LORD it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Chifukwa cha zonse zimene zinachitika ku Yerusalemu ndi ku Yuda Yehova anakwiyira anthu ake mpaka kuwachotsa pamaso pake. Tsono Zedekiya anawukira mfumu ya ku Babuloni.
4 It happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and camped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
Choncho mʼchaka cha chisanu ndi chinayi cha ulamuliro wa Zedekiya, mwezi wakhumi, pa tsiku la khumi, Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni anabwera ndi ankhondo ake onse kudzathira nkhondo Yerusalemu. Anamanga misasa ndi mitumbira yankhondo kunja kuzungulira mzindawo.
5 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Mzindawo unazingidwa mpaka chaka cha khumi ndi chimodzi cha ulamuliro wa Mfumu Zedekiya.
6 In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chinayi la mwezi wachinayi njala inakula kwambiri mu mzindamo kotero kuti munalibe chakudya choti anthu nʼkudya.
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 all around; ) and they went toward the Arabah.
Tsono linga la mzindawo linabowoledwa, ndipo ankhondo onse anathawa. Iwo anatuluka mu mzindamo usiku kudzera pa chipata cha pakati pa makoma awiri a pafupi ndi munda wa mfumu, ngakhale kuti Ababuloni anali atazinga mzindawo. Ndipo anathawira ku 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.
koma gulu la ankhondo la ku Babuloni linalondola mfumu Zedekiya ndi kumupeza mʼchigwa cha ku Yeriko. Ankhondo onse anamusiya yekha nabalalika.
9 Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.
Anagwidwa napita naye kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni ku Ribula mʼdziko la Hamati, kumene anagamula mlandu wake.
10 The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he killed also all the officials of Judah in Riblah.
Ku Ribulako mfumu ya ku Babuloni inapha ana aamuna a Zedekiya iyeyo akuona; ndiponso inapha akuluakulu onse a ku Yuda.
11 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 until the day of his death.
Ndipo inamukolowola maso Zedekiya, ndi kumumanga ndi maunyolo a mkuwa nʼkupita naye ku Babuloni kumene inakamuyika mʼndende kuti akhalemo moyo wake wonse.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:
Mwezi wachisanu, pa tsiku lakhumi, chaka cha 19 cha ulamuliro wa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni, Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa ankhondo a mfumu, amene amatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni, anabwera ku Yerusalemu.
13 and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.
Ndipo anatentha Nyumba ya Yehova, nyumba ya mfumu ndi nyumba zonse za mu Yerusalemu. Anatentha nyumba iliyonse.
14 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.
Tsono gulu lonse lankhondo la Ababuloni limene linali ndi mtsogoleri wa ankhondo a mfumu uja linagwetsa malinga onse ozungulira Yerusalemu.
15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa ankhondo anatenga anthu amene anatsala mu mzindamo, anthu aluso pamodzi ndi amene anadzipereka kale kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni kupita nawo ku ukapolo ku Babuloni.
16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.
Komabe Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa ankhondo anasiya anthu ena onse osaukitsitsa a mʼdzikomo kuti azigwira ntchito mʼminda ya mpesa ndi minda ina.
17 The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD in pieces, and carried all their bronze to Babylon.
Ababuloni anaphwanya nsanamira za mkuwa, maphaka ndi chimbiya chamkuwa zimene zinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Anatenga mkuwa wonsewo nʼkupita nazo ku Babuloni.
18 They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
Ankhondowo anatenganso mbiya, zochotsera phulusa, zozimitsira nyale, mbale zofukizira lubani, zikho pamodzi ndi ziwiya zina zonse za mkuwa zimene ankagwiritsira ntchito mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
19 The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lampstands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
Nebuzaradani uja anatenganso mabeseni, ziwiya zosonkhapo moto, mbale zowazira madzi, zoyikapo nyale, zipande zofukizira lubani ndi zikho ndi zina zonse zagolide ndi siliva.
20 They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, and the stands which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.
Nsanamira ziwiri zija, chimbiya, maphaka ndi ngʼombe khumi ndi ziwiri za mkuwa zochirikizira chimbiyacho zimene mfumu Solomoni anapangira Nyumba ya Yehova kulemera kwake kunali kosawerengeka.
21 As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eight feet seven inches; and a line of twenty feet eight inches encircled it; and its thickness was almost three inches. It was hollow.
Nsanamira imodzi kutalika kwake kunali mamita asanu ndi atatu, akazunguliza chingwe inali mamita asanu ndi theka; mʼkati mwake munali bowo ndipo kuchindikala kwake kunali zala zinayi.
22 A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was eight feet seven inches, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze: and the second pillar also had like these, and pomegranates.
Pamwamba pa nsanamira iliyonse panali mutu wamkuwa umene kutalika kwake kunali mamita awiri. Pozungulira pake panali ukonde ndi makangadza, zonsezo za mkuwa. Nsanamira inayo inalinso ndi makangadza ake ndipo inali yofanana ndi inzake ija.
23 There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.
Mʼmbali mwake munali makangadza 96; makangadza onse pamodzi analipo 100 kuzungulira ukonde onse.
24 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief cohen, and Zephaniah the second cohen, and the three keepers of the threshold:
Mtsogoleri wa ankhondo uja, anagwira Seraya mkulu wa ansembe ndi Zefaniya, wachiwiri wa mkulu wa ansembe ndi alonda atatu apachipata.
25 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
Mu mzindamo anagwiramo mkulu amene ankalamulira ankhondo, ndi alangizi amfumu asanu ndi awiri. Anagwiranso mlembi wa mtsogoleri wa ankhondo, amene ankalemba anthu mʼdzikomo, pamodzi ndi anthu ena 60 amene anali mu mzindamo.
26 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Nebuzaradani, mtsogoleri wa ankhondoyo anawatenga onse napita nawo kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni ku Ribula.
27 The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Ku Ribulako, mʼdziko la Hamati, mfumu ya ku Babuloniyo inalamula kuti anthuwo aphedwe. Motero anthu a ku Yuda anapita ku ukapolo, kutali ndi dziko lawo.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand twenty-three Jews;
Chiwerengero cha anthu amene Nebukadinezara anawatenga kupita nawo ku ukapolo ndi ichi: Mʼchaka cha chisanu ndi chiwiri cha ulamuliro wake, anatenga Ayuda 3,023;
29 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;
mʼchaka cha 18 cha ulamuliro wa Nebukadinezara, anatenga anthu 832 kuchokera mu Yerusalemu;
30 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
mʼchaka cha 23 cha ulamuliro wa Nebukadinezara, Nebuzaradani, mtsogoleri wa ankhondo a mfumu anagwira Ayuda 745 kupita ku ukapolo. Onse pamodzi analipo anthu 4,600.
31 It happened 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 Awil-Marduk 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;
Mʼchaka chimene Evili-Merodaki analowa ufumu wa Babuloni, iye anakomera mtima Yehoyakini mfumu ya ku Yuda, namutulutsa mʼndende. Izi zinachitika pa tsiku la 25 la mwezi wa khumi ndi chiwiri zitatha zaka 37 chitengedwere Yehoyakimu ku ukapolo.
32 and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
Evili-Merodaki anakomera mtima Yehoyakini, namupatsa malo aulemu kuposa mafumu ena amene anali naye ku Babuloni.
33 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life:
Choncho Yehoyakini analoledwa kuvula zovala zake za ku ndende ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku ankadya ndi mfumu pa moyo wake wonse.
34 and for his allowance, there 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.
Tsiku ndi tsiku mfumu ya ku Babuloni inkamupatsa Yehoyakini phoso lake nthawi yonse ya moyo wake, mpaka pa nthawi ya imfa yake.
