Jeremiah 52
1 Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and eleven years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, 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 wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si Yehoyakim wɔe ene.
3 For it was, because the anger of Yahweh, had come against Jerusalem and Judah until 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, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and he built against it a siege-wall 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 And the city came into the siege, —until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Woɖe to ɖe du la va se ɖe fia Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiɖekɛlia me.
6 In the fourth month on the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be 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 was the city broken up, and all the men of war, beginning to flee went forth out of the city by night, by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the garden of the king the Chaldeans being near the city round about), —and they went the way towards the Waste 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 And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah, in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, 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 So they seized the king, and brought him up, unto the king of Babylon at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and he pronounced upon him sentences of judgment.
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, —moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he in Riblah;
Le Ribla la, Babilonia fia wu Zedekia ƒe viwo katã le eŋkume, hekpe ɖe Yuda ƒe dumegãwo ŋu.
11 and the eyes of Zedekiah, put he out, —and bound him with fetters of bronze and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison—until 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 And in the fifth month on the tenth of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, —who stood before 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 he burned the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, —yea all the houses of Jerusalem even every great man’s house, 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 walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
Babiloniatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo si le aʋafia la ƒe kpɔkplɔ te la gbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo katã keŋkeŋ.
15 And some of the poor of the people and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who had fallen away unto the king of Babylon and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners carry away captive.
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, others of the poor of the land, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners leave, for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
Gake Nebuzaradan gblẽ anyigba la ƒe ame dahewo ɖi be woawɔ dɔ le waingblewo kple agble bubuwo dzi.
17 And the pillars of bronze that pertained to the house of Yahweh and the stands and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, did the Chaldeans, break in pieces, —and they carried away all the bronze of them to Babylon;
Babiloniatɔwo gbã akɔblisɔti, akɔblizɔ kple woƒe anyinɔwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wolɔ akɔbliawo katã yi Babilonia.
18 and the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made did they take 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 basins and the censers and the dashing bowls and the caldrons and the lamps and the spoons and the cups, which were of gold in gold, and which were of silver in silver, did the chief of the royal executioners, take 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 As for the two pillars the one sea, and the twelve oxen of bronze which were under the stands which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, without weight was the bronze of all these things.
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 Now as for the pillars, eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, compassed it about, —and the thickness thereof was four fingers’ breadth—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 there was, a capital, upon it, of bronze, and the height of each capital, was five cubits, with lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about—the whole was of bronze, —and like these, were the second pillar and the pomegranates.
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 the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side, —all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the lattice-work round about.
Yevuboɖa blaasiekɛ-vɔ-ade le axawo dzi, eye esiwo katã wolɔ̃ ƒo xlã sɔtiawo la le alafa ɖeka.
24 And the chief of the royal executioners, took away, Seraiah the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance-hall;
Aʋafia la ɖe aboyo nunɔlagã Seraya, eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Zefania kple agbonudzɔla etɔ̃awo.
25 and out of the city, took he one eunuch who was in charge over the men of war and seven men of them who used to watch the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the prince of the host, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who 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 And when Nebuzaradan chief the royal executioners, had taken them, and brought them unto the king of Babylon at Riblah,
Aʋafia Nebuzaradan kplɔ wo yi na Babilonia fia le Ribla.
27 then did the king of Babylon smite them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath, —thus carried he Judah captive away from off their own soil.
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—of them of Judah, three thousand and twenty-three;
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—out of Jerusalem, eight hundred and thirty-two souls;
Le Nebukadnezar ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me, Yerusalemtɔ alafa enyi kple blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve;
30 In the three-and-twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners took away captive, of them of Judah, seven hundred and forty-five souls: All, the souls, 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 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 he began to 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 with him comfortable words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who 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 so he changed his prison garments, —and used to eat bread before his face continually, 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 his allowance, was a continual allowance given him from the king of Babylon the portion of the day upon its own day, 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.
