Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of Jeremiah from 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 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did everything that Jehoiakim had done.
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si Yehoyakim wɔe ene.
3 Through Yahweh's anger, all these events happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he drove them from before himself. Then 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 It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came with all his army against Jerusalem. They camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
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 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
Woɖe to ɖe du la va se ɖe fia Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiɖekɛlia me.
6 By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food 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 the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled and went out of the city at night by the way of the gate that was between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. So they went in the direction of the Arabah.
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 But the army of Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away 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 They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him.
Ke wolé eya ŋutɔ. Wokplɔe yi na Babilonia fia le Ribla, le Hamatnyigba dzi, afi si wòbu fɔe le.
10 The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons before his own eyes, and at Riblah he also slaughtered all the leaders of Judah.
Le Ribla la, Babilonia fia wu Zedekia ƒe viwo katã le eŋkume, hekpe ɖe Yuda ƒe dumegãwo ŋu.
11 Then he put out Zedekiah's eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him to Babylon. The king of Babylon 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 Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan came to Jerusalem. He was the commander of the king's bodyguards and a servant of the king of Babylon.
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 He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
Etɔ dzo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, fiasã la kple aƒe siwo le Yerusalem. Vavã, etɔ dzo aƒe vevi ɖe sia ɖe.
14 As for the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were with the commander of the bodyguards destroyed them.
Babiloniatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo si le aʋafia la ƒe kpɔkplɔ te la gbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo katã keŋkeŋ.
15 As for the poorest people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the craftsmen— Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took some of them away into exile.
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 Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
Gake Nebuzaradan gblẽ anyigba la ƒe ame dahewo ɖi be woawɔ dɔ le waingblewo kple agble bubuwo dzi.
17 As for the bronze pillars that belonged to the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the large bronze basin called “The Sea” that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried all the bronze back to Babylon.
Babiloniatɔwo gbã akɔblisɔti, akɔblizɔ kple woƒe anyinɔwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wolɔ akɔbliawo katã yi Babilonia.
18 The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, bowls, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
Wotsɔ zɔwo, sofiwo, akaɖiɖovusẽhɛ, treawo, agbawo kple akɔblinu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le subɔsubɔ me le gbedoxɔ me la hã dzoe.
19 The basins and the incense burners, the bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and basins that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the commander of the king's guard took them away as well.
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 The two pillars, the large bronze basin known as “The Sea,” and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the stands, things that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, contained more bronze than could be weighed.
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 The pillars were eighteen cubits high each, and a line around each one measured twelve cubits. Each was four fingers thick and 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 A capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was five cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around. It was all made of bronze. The other pillar and its pomegranates were the same as the first.
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 So there were ninety-six pomegranates on the capital's sides, and one hundred pomegranates above the surrounding latticework.
Yevuboɖa blaasiekɛ-vɔ-ade le axawo dzi, eye esiwo katã wolɔ̃ ƒo xlã sɔtiawo la le alafa ɖeka.
24 The commander of the bodyguards took prisoner Seraiah, the high priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
Aʋafia la ɖe aboyo nunɔlagã Seraya, eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Zefania kple agbonudzɔla etɔ̃awo.
25 From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and seven men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in 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 Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguards, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Aʋafia Nebuzaradan kplɔ wo yi na Babilonia fia le Ribla.
27 The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
Le Ribla, le Hamatnyigba dzi, afi ma fia la na wowu wo ɖo. Ale Yuda yi aboyo me, hedzo le eƒe denyigba dzi.
28 These were the people who Nebuchadnezzar exiled: In the seventh year, 3,023 Judeans.
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 Nebuchadnezzar he took 832 people from Jerusalem.
Le Nebukadnezar ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me, Yerusalemtɔ alafa enyi kple blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve;
30 In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, exiled 745 Judean people. All the exiled people totaled 4,600.
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 It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Awel-Marduk, king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
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 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other 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 Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life,
Ale Yehoyatsin ɖe eƒe gaxɔmewu da ɖi, heɖu nu le fia ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
34 and a regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life until his death.
Babilonia fia naa Yehoyatsin ƒe gbe sia gbe nuhiahiãwoe le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me va se ɖe eƒe kugbe.
