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.
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 wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea Yehoiakim yɛe no.
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.
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, 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.
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 And the city came into the siege, —until 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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
Nanso Babilonia asraafo no taa Ɔhene Sedekia kɔtoo no wɔ Yeriko tataw so. Na nʼasraafo no nyinaa afi ne ho abɔ ahwete,
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.
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, —moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he in Riblah;
Ribla hɔ na Babiloniahene kunkum Sedekia mmabarima wɔ nʼanim na okum Yudafo adwumayɛfo nyinaa nso.
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.
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 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;
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 Yahweh and the house of the king, —yea 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 walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
Awɛmfo so panyin no hwɛ maa Babilonia asraafo no bubuu Yerusalem afasu no.
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.
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, others of the poor of the land, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners leave, for vinedressers and for 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 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;
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side, —all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the lattice-work 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 chief of the royal executioners, took away, Seraiah the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance-hall;
Awɛmfo no sahene no faa ɔsɔfopanyin Seraia, abediakyiri Sefania ne ɔponanoahwɛfo baasa no nnommum.
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.
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 when Nebuzaradan chief the royal executioners, had taken them, and brought them unto the king of Babylon at Riblah,
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan de wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Babiloniahene anim wɔ 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.
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—of them of Judah, three thousand and twenty-three;
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—out of Jerusalem, eight hundred and thirty-two souls;
Nebukadnessar ahenni afe a ɛto so dunwɔtwe mu, nnipa a wofi Yerusalem, 832;
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.
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 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;
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 spake with him comfortable words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who 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 so he changed his prison garments, —and used to eat bread before his face 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 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.
Na Babiloniahene no san maa Yehoiakin sika bere ano bere ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka, kosii ne wuda.
