Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became the King [of Judah]. He ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother was Hamutal, the daughter of [a man named] Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
HE iwakaluakumamakahi na makahiki o Zedekia, ia ia i hoomaka ai e noho aupuni; a noho aupuni iho la oia ma Ierusalema, he umikumamakahi makahiki. O Hamutala ka inoa o kona makuwahine; o ke kaikamahine ia a Ieremia no Libena.
2 Zedekiah did [many] things that Yahweh says are evil, like [his father] Jehoiakim had done.
Hana hewa iho la oia imua o na maka o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Iehoiakima i hana'i.
3 [The events that are summarized here happened] because Yahweh was angry with [the people of] Jerusalem and [of other places in] Judah, and finally he (exiled them/forced them to go to other countries) [and said that he did not want to have anything to do with] them any more. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
No ka ukiuki o Iehova i hiki ai keia mau mea ma Ierusalema, a ma Iuda, a kipaku aku oia ia lakou mai kona alo aku, a kipi o Zedekia i ke alii o Babulona.
4 [So, ] on January 15, when Zedekiah had been ruling for almost nine years, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon led his entire army to attack Jerusalem. They surrounded the city and built dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [to enable them to attack the city].
A hiki i ka makahiki eiwa o ka makahiki o kona noho aupuni ana, i ka malama umi, i ka umi o ka la o ka malama, hele mai la o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, oia, a me kona poe kaua a pau e ku e ia Ierusalema, a hoomoana ku e oia ia wahi, a hana iho la i mau puu kaua a puni ia.
5 They continued to surround Jerusalem until Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years.
Pela i hoopilikiaia ke kulanakauhale a hiki i ka makahiki umikumamakahi o ke alii o Zedekia.
6 When Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years, by July 18 of that year, the (famine/lack of food) in the city had become very severe, and there was no [more] food for the people [to eat].
A i ka malama aha, i ka iwa o ka la o ka malama, nui loa ka wi iloko o ke kulanakauhale, aohe berena no na kanaka o ka aina.
7 Then [the soldiers of Babylonia] broke through [a section of] the city wall, and all the [Israeli] soldiers fled. But because the city was surrounded by soldiers from Babylonia, [Zedekiah and the Israeli] soldiers [waited until] it became dark. Then they left the city through the gate between the two walls behind the king’s garden. Then they ran towards the Jordan River Valley.
Alaila wahiia ke kulanakauhale, a hee na kanaka kaua a pau, a puka aku la iwaho o ke kulanakauhale, ma ke ala o ka pukapa mawaena o na pa elua, aia ma ka mahinaai o ke alii: (ua puni hoi ke kulanakauhale i ko Kaledea; ) a hele ae la lakou ma ke ala o ka papu.
8 But the soldiers of Babylonia pursued King Zedekiah, and they caught up with him on the plains near Jericho. [He was alone because] all his men had deserted him and had scattered.
Alaila, hahai ka poe kaua o ko Kaledea, mahope o ke alii, a loaa o Zedekia ia lakou ma na papu o Ieriko, a ua hoopuehuia'ku la kona poe kaua, mai ona aku la.
9 The soldiers of Babylonia took him to the king of Babylon, who was at Riblah in the Hamath [region]. There the king of Babylon told [his soldiers what] they should do to punish Zedekiah.
Alaila, hoopio lakou i ke alii, a lawe aku la ia ia i ke alii o Babulona, ma Ribela, ma ka aina o Hamata; a malaila oia i hoohewa'i ia ia.
10 They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
A pepehi ke alii o Babulona i na keiki a Zedekia imua o kona maka; a pepehi no hoi oia i na luna a pau o ka Iuda ma Ribela.
11 [Then] they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They fastened him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon. They put him in a prison, and he remained there until the day that he died.
A poalo iho la oia i na maka o Zedekia, a hoopaa no hoi ke alii o Babulona ia ia i na kupe keleawe, a lawe aku la ia ia i Babulona, a waiho aku la ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, a i ka la o kona make ana.
12 On August 17 of that year, which was when King Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost 19 years, Nebuzaradan, who was the captain of the king’s bodyguards and one of the king’s officials, arrived in Jerusalem.
A i ka malama elima, i ka umi o ka la o ka malama, oia hoi ka makahiki umikumamaiwa o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, alaila hele mai la i Ierusalema o Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua, nana i hookauwa na ke alii o Babulona.
13 He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. They [also] destroyed all the important buildings [in the city].
A puhi iho la oia i ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a me na hale a pau o Ierusalema, a me na hale o ka poe koikoi, puhi no oia ia mau mea i ke ahi.
14 Then he supervised the soldiers from Babylonia while they tore down the walls on all sides of Jerusalem.
A o na kanaka kaua a pau o ko Kaledea, ka poe mamuli o ka lunakaua, hoohiolo lakou i na pa a pau o Ierusalema a puni.
15 Then Nebuzaradan (forced to go/exiled) [to Babylon] some of the poorest people, those Israelis who had said they would support the king of Babylon, the rest of the craftsmen, and other people who had remained in Jerusalem.
Alaila, lawe pio aku la o Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i na kanaka hune, a me na kanaka i koe ma ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe i hele, na mea hoi i hele i ke alii o Babulona, a me ka nui o ka poe i koe.
16 But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to remain [in Judah] to take care of the vineyards and fields.
Waiho no nae o Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i kekahi poe hune o ka aina i poe paipai kumuwaina, a i poe mahiai hoi.
17 The soldiers from Babylonia broke [into pieces] the [huge] bronze pillars that were in front of the temple, and the [large] bronze water tank, and the [ten bronze water] carts, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
Wawahi no hoi ko Kaledea i na kia keleawe iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a me na poho a me na ipu auau keleawe, ka mea maloko o ka hale o Iehova, a lawe lakou i ke keleawe a pau o ia mau mea i Babulona,
18 They also took away the basins [for holding the ashes from the burned sacrifices], the shovels [for cleaning out the ashes], the tools for snuffing out the wicks of the lamps, the basins [for holding the blood of the sacrificed animals], the dishes [for incense], and all the [other] bronze items that were used when sacrifices were made at the temple.
A lawe aku no hoi lakou i na ipu wai nui, a me na kopelehu, a me na upa kukui, a me na paipu a me na puna a me na ipu keleawe a pau, na mea lawelawe o lakou.
19 Nebuzaradan also [told his soldiers to] take away the small bowls, the dishes for burning incense, the basins, pots, lampstands, bowls [for incense], and the bowls used for pouring out the wine offerings. They took all the other items that were made of pure gold or silver.
A lawe aku no hoi ka lunakaua i na ipu, a me na paahi, a me na paipu, a me na ipu wai nui, a me na ipukukui manamana, na puna, a me na kiaha; o ka mea gula, he gula, a o ka mea kala, he kala.
20 The bronze from the two pillars, the [large water] tank and the twelve statues of oxen that were beneath it, and the water carts, was more/heavier than they could weigh. Those things had been made for the temple during the time that Solomon was the king.
I na kia elua, hookahi ipu auau, he umikumamalua bipi kane na mea malalo iho o na poho, na mea a ke alii a Solomona i hana'i maloko o ka hale o Iehova. Pau ole ke keleawe o keia mau mea hana a pau, ke kaupaonaia.
21 Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall and (18 feet/5.5 meters) around. They were hollow, and each had sides/walls that were (3 in./8 cm.) thick.
A o na kia, he umikumamawalu kubita ke kiekie o kekahi kia, a puni hoi ia i ke apo, he umikumamalua kubita; eha lima kona manoanoa; ua kawaha.
22 The bronze head on the top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/over 2 meters) high and was decorated all around with a bronze [network of figures that represented] pomegranates.
A he papale keleawe maluna ona. Elima kubita ke kiekie o kekahi papale, me ka mea ulana pukapuka, a me na pomegerane maluna o na papalekia a puni, ho keleawe a pau loa. A ua like hoi me neia ka lua o ke kia, a me na pomegerane.
23 There was a total of 100 figures of pomegranates on the network at the top, 96 of which could be seen from the ground.
A he kanaiwakumamaono na pomegerano o kekahi aoao; o na pomegerane a pau ma ka mea ulana pukapuka, hookahi haneri a puni.
24 When Nebuzaradan [returned to Babylon], he took [with him as prisoners] Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah who was Seraiah’s deputy, and the three men who guarded the entrances [to the temple].
A lawe aku la ka lunakoa ia Seraia ke kahuna nui, a ia Zepania ke kahuna lua, a me na kiaipuka ekolu.
25 He found [some other] people who were [hiding] in the city. [So] from them he took a commander of the army [of Judah], seven of the king’s advisors, the army commander’s chief secretary who was in charge of recruiting [soldiers for the army], and 60 [other] soldiers.
Lawe aku la hoi oia mai ke kulanakauhale aku i kekahi luna i poaia, i hoonohoia maluna o na kanaka kaua, a i ehiku kanaka punahele o ke alii, na mea i loaa ma ke kulanakauhale; a i ke kakauolelo o ka lunakaua, nana i alakai i na kanaka o ka aina i ke kaua; a me na kanaka o ka aina he kanaono i loaa ma ke kulanakauhale.
26 Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon, [who was still] at Riblah.
A lawe aku la o Nebuzaradana ka lunakoa ia lakou i ke alii o Babulona ma Ribela.
27 There at Riblah in the Hamath region, the king of Babylon commanded that they [all] be executed. [Many of the people of] Judah were (forced to leave/exiled from) their own land.
Pepehi aku la ke alii o Babulona ia lakou, a make lakou ia ia ma Ribela i ka aina o Hamata. A ua laweia aku la o ka Iuda mai ko lakou aina aku.
28 The number of people who were captured and sent to Babylon at that time, when Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for almost seven years, was 3,023.
Oia na kanaka a Nebukaneza i lawe pio aku ai: i ka hiku o ka makahiki, ekolu tausani na Iudaio, a me ka iwakaluakumamakolu.
29 Then, when he had been ruling for almost 18 years, his [soldiers] took 832 [more Israeli people to Babylonia].
I ka makahiki umikumamawalu o Nebukaneza, lawe pio aku la oia mai Ierusalema aku, i ewalu haneri me kanakolukumamalua kanaka.
30 When he had been ruling almost 23 years, he sent Nebuzaradan [to Jerusalem again], and he brought back 745 [more Israelis to Babylonia]. That was a total of 4,600 Israelis [who were taken to Babylonia].
I ka makahiki iwakaluakumamakolu o Nebukaneza, lawe pio aku la o Nebuzaradana ka lunakaua i ehiku haneri me kanahakumamalima kanaka o na Iudaio. A oia poe kanaka a pau, eha tausani lakou me na haneri keu eono.
31 After King Jehoiachin of Judah had been in prison [in Babylon] for almost thirty-seven years, Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin and ordered that he be released from prison. That was on March 31 of the year that Evil-Merodach became king.
A i ka makahiki kanakolukumamahiku, o ke pio ana o Iehoiakina, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka malama umikumamalua, i ka la iwakaluakumamalima o ka malama, o Evila Merodaka, ke alii o Babulona, i ka makahiki mua o kona noho aupuni ana, hapai ae la oia i ke poo o Iehoiakina, ke alii o ka Iuda, a lawe ae la ia ia iwaho o ka halepaahao.
32 He [always] spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and gave him a position in which he was honored more than [all] the other kings [who had been exiled/taken to Babylon].
A olelo oluolu iho la oia ia ia, a hoonoho iho la i kona nohoalii maluna o ka nohoalii o na'lii e noho pu ana me ia ma Babulona.
33 He [supplied new clothes] for Jehoiachin, to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison. [He also allowed] Jehoiachin to eat with him every day, all during the rest of his life.
A no ka lole o ka halepaahao, haawi ae la oia i lole hou; a ai mau oia i ka ai imua ona, i na la a pau o kona ola ana.
34 Every day, the King [of Babylon] gave him some money [to buy the things that he needed. That continued] until the day that Jehoiachin died.
A o kana ai hoi, na ke alii o Babulona i haawi i ai mau nana, he puu no i kela la i keia la a hiki i ka la o kona make ana, i na la a pau o kona ola aua.
