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].
Sidqiyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray kow iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ku ahaa kow iyo toban sannadood. Oo hooyadiis magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Xamuutal ina Yeremyaah oo reer Libnaah ahayd.
2 Zedekiah did [many] things that Yahweh says are evil, like [his father] Jehoiakim had done.
Oo isagu wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah sidii wixii Yehooyaaqiim sameeyey oo dhan.
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.
Oo tanu waxay Yeruusaalem iyo dalka Yahuudah ugu dhacday cadhadii Rabbiga aawadeed ilaa uu hortiisa ka tuuray, kolkaasaa Sidqiyaahna ka fallaagoobay boqorkii Baabuloon.
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].
Oo sannaddii sagaalaad oo boqornimadiisa, bishii tobnaad, maalintii tobnaad ayaa Nebukadresar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon iyo ciidankiisii Yeruusaalem ku keceen, oo intay hor degeen ayay qalcado hareereheeda ka dhisteen.
5 They continued to surround Jerusalem until Zedekiah had been ruling for almost eleven years.
Oo sidaasay magaaladii u hareeraysnayd tan iyo sannaddii kow iyo tobnaad oo Boqor Sidqiyaah.
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].
Oo maalintii sagaalaad, bishii afraad, ayaa abaartii magaaladii aad iyo aad ugu xumaatay, oo sidaas daraaddeed dadkii dalka degganaa cunto ma haysan.
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.
Markaasaa meel magaalada ahayd la jebiyey, oo raggii dagaalka oo dhammuna way carareen, oo waxay goor habeennimo ah magaaladii kaga bexeen iriddii labada derbi u dhaxaysay oo beertii boqorka ku ag tiil (haddaba reer Kaldayiin waxay ku wareegsanaayeen magaalada). Oo waxay mareen jidkii Caraabaah.
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.
Laakiinse ciidankii reer Kaldayiin ayaa boqorkii eryaday, oo waxay Sidqiyaah ku gaadheen bannaannadii Yerixoo, oo ciidankiisii oo dhammuna way ka kala firdheen.
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.
Markaasay boqorkii qabsadeen oo boqorkii Baabuloon ugu geeyeen Riblaah oo ku tiil dalka Xamaad, wuuna xukumay.
10 They forced Zedekiah to watch while they killed his sons and all the officials from Judah.
Oo boqorkii Baabuloon Sidqiyaah wiilashiisii hortiisuu ku laayay, oo weliba amiirradii dalka Yahuudah oo dhanna wuxuu ku wada laayay Riblaah.
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.
Oo weliba Sidqiyaahna indhihii buu ka riday, oo boqorkii Baabuloon wuxuu ku xidhxidhay silsilado oo wuxuu u kaxaystay Baabuloon, oo xabsi buu ku riday ilaa maalintii dhimashadiisa.
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.
Haddaba bishii shanaad maalinteedii tobnaad oo ahayd sannaddii sagaal iyo tobnaad oo Nebukadresar boqorkii Baabuloon ahaa waxaa Yeruusaalem yimid Nebuusaradaan oo ahaa sirkaalkii askarta oo boqorka Baabuloon u adeegi jiray.
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].
Markaasuu gubay gurigii Rabbiga iyo gurigii boqorka, oo wuxuu kaloo gubay guryihii Yeruusaalem oo dhan, kuwaasoo ahaa guri kasta oo weyn.
14 Then he supervised the soldiers from Babylonia while they tore down the walls on all sides of Jerusalem.
Oo ciidankii reer Kaldayiin oo sirkaalkii askarta la socday oo dhammuna waxay wada dumiyeen derbiyadii Yeruusaalem ku wareegsanaa oo dhan.
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.
Markaasaa Nebuusaradaan oo ahaa sirkaalkii askartu wuxuu maxaabiis ahaan u kaxaystay masaakiintii dadka qaarkood, iyo dadkii magaalada ku hadhay, iyo kuwii cararay oo u galay boqorkii Baabuloon, iyo intii dadkii faraha badnaa ka hadhay.
16 But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to remain [in Judah] to take care of the vineyards and fields.
Laakiinse Nebuusaradaan oo sirkaalkii askarta ahaa wuxuu ka tegey dadkii waddanka ugu liitay inay ahaadaan kuwa canabka iyo beeraha kale ka shaqeeya.
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.
Markaasaa reer Kaldayiin waxay jejebiyeen tiirarkii naxaasta ahaa oo guriga Rabbiga ku jiray, iyo saldhigyadii iyo berkeddii naxaasta ahayd oo guriga Rabbiga ku jiray, oo naxaastoodiina waxay u qaadeen Baabuloon.
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.
Oo waxay kaloo qaadeen dheryihii, iyo majarafadihii, iyo alaabtii laambadihii lagu safayn jiray, iyo maddiibadihii, iyo malgacadihii, iyo weelashii naxaasta ahaa oo lagu adeegi jiray oo dhan.
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.
Oo sirkaalkii askartu wuxuu la tegey suxuuntii, iyo dabqaadayaashii, iyo maddiibadihii, iyo dheryihii, iyo laambadihii, iyo malgacadihii, iyo koobabkiiba, intii dahabka ahayd dahab ahaan buu u qaaday, oo intii lacagta ahaydna lacag ahaan.
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.
Labadii tiir, iyo berkeddii, iyo laba iyo tobankii dibi oo naxaasta ahaa oo saldhigyada ka hooseeyey, oo Boqor Sulaymaan uu u sameeyey gurigii Rabbiga, dhammaan weelashaas naxaastoodu miisaan ma lahayn.
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.
Oo tiirarka midkood sarajooggiisu wuxuu ahaa siddeed iyo toban dhudhun, meeriskiisuna wuxuu ahaa laba iyo toban dhudhun markii xadhig lagu qiyaaso, oo dhumucdiisuna waxay ahayd afar farood, oo dhexdana wuu ka dalooshanaa.
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.
Oo korkiisana waxaa saarnaa taaj naxaas ah, oo taajka sarajooggiisuna wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun, wuxuuna lahaa shabag iyo rummaanno taajka ku wareegsan, oo kulligoodna waxay ahaayeen naxaas, tiirkii labaadna waxan oo kaluu lahaa iyo rummaanno.
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.
Oo dhinacyada waxaa ku yiil lix iyo sagaashan rummaan, oo rummaannadii shabagga ku wareegsanaa oo dhammuna waxay ahaayeen boqol.
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].
Oo sirkaalkii askartu wuxuu kaloo kaxaystay Seraayaah oo ahaa wadaadkii sare, iyo Sefanyaah oo ahaa wadaadkii labaad, iyo saddexdii iridjoog.
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.
Oo wuxuu magaaladii kala soo baxay sirkaal u sarreeyey raggii dagaalyahanka ahaa, iyo toddoba nin oo ka mid ahaa kuwii boqorka hor joogi jiray oo magaaladii laga dhex helay, iyo karraanigii sirkaalka ciidanka ee ururin jiray dadkii waddanka, iyo lixdan nin oo ahaa dadkii dalka degganaa oo magaaladii laga dhex helay.
26 Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon, [who was still] at Riblah.
Markaasaa Nebuusaradaan oo ahaa sirkaalkii askartu iyagii kexeeyey oo Riblaah ugu geeyey boqorkii Baabuloon.
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.
Markaasaa boqorkii Baabuloon iyagii ku laayay Riblaah oo ku taal dalka Xamaad. Oo sidaasaa dadkii Yahuudah dalkoodii looga kaxaystay iyagoo maxaabiis ah.
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.
Oo sannaddii toddobaad dadkii uu Boqor Nebukadresar maxaabiisahaanta u kaxaystay waxay ahaayeen saddex kun iyo saddex iyo labaatan qof oo Yuhuud ah,
29 Then, when he had been ruling for almost 18 years, his [soldiers] took 832 [more Israeli people to Babylonia].
oo sannaddii siddeed iyo tobnaad oo Boqor Nebukadresarna wuxuu Yeruusaalem maxaabiis ahaan uga kaxaystay siddeed boqol iyo laba iyo soddon qof.
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].
Oo sannaddii saddex iyo labaatanaad oo Boqor Nebukadresarna Nebuusaradaan oo ahaa sirkaalkii askarta ayaa Yuhuuddii maxaabiis ahaan uga kaxaystay toddoba boqol iyo shan iyo afartan qof, oo dadkii la kaxaystay oo dhammuna waxay ahaayeen afar kun iyo lix boqol oo qof.
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.
Oo sannaddii toddoba iyo soddonaad intii boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo Yehooyaakiin ahaa uu xidhnaa, bishii laba iyo tobnaad, maalinteedii shan iyo labaatanaad Ewiil Merodag oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon sannaddii uu boqor noqday ayuu sara u qaaday Yehooyaakiin oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah, oo xabsiguu ka soo bixiyey.
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].
Oo si roon buu ula hadlay, oo wuxuu carshigiisii ka kor mariyey carshigii boqorradii isagii Baabuloon la joogay.
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.
Oo dharkiisii xabsiga ayuu beddelay oo hortiisuu wax ku cuni jiray had iyo jeerba cimrigiisii oo dhanba.
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.
Oo xagga masruufkiisana boqorkii Baabuloon xaggiisa waxaa laga siin jiray masruuf joogta ah, oo tan iyo maalintii uu dhintay maalin kastaba qayb buu heli jiray cimrigiisii oo dhan.
