2 Kings 25
1 And it cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, come hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encampeth against it, and buildeth against it a fortification round about.
Ɔbosome Tebet (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛpɔn) da a ɛtɔ so dunum wɔ Sedekia ahennie mfeɛ nkron so no, ɔhene Nebukadnessar dii nʼakodɔm nyinaa anim, bɛko tiaa Yerusalem. Wɔtwaa kuropɔn no ho hyiaeɛ. Wɔbobɔɔ mpampim wɔ kuropɔn no afasuo ho.
2 And the city entereth into siege till the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
Wɔkaa Yerusalem hyɛɛ kɔsii ɔhene Sedekia ahennie no mfeɛ dubaako so.
3 on the ninth of the month — when the famine is severe in the city, and there hath not been bread for the people of the land,
Ɛduruu Tammus bosome (bɛyɛ Kitawonsa) da a ɛtɔ so dunwɔtwe no, Sedekia ahennie mfeɛ dubaako mu no, na ɛkɔm a aba kuropɔn no mu no ano ayɛ den yie, ama wɔn aduane a aka no nyinaa asa.
4 then the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the city round about, and [the king] goeth the way of the plain.
Na kuropɔn no ɔfasuo fa bi abu agu fam enti, asraafoɔ no nyinaa yɛɛ adwene sɛ, wɔbɛdwane afiri kuropɔn no mu. Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ na Babiloniafoɔ atwa kuropɔn no ho ahyia enti, wɔtwɛn kɔsii anadwo, na wɔdwane faa ɛpono a ɛda afasuo mmienu a ɛwɔ ɔhene no nturo no mu mu. Wɔyɛɛ ntɛm faa wiramkwan de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Yordan bɔnhwa no.
5 And the force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from him;
Nanso, Babiloniafoɔ no tii wɔn, kɔkyeree ɔhene no wɔ Yeriko tata so, ɛfiri sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no, na ne mmarima no nyinaa adwane agya no.
6 and they seize the king, and bring him up unto the king of Babylon, to Riblah, and they speak with him — judgment.
Wɔde no brɛɛ Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla, ma wɔbuu no atɛn.
7 And the sons of Zedekiah they have slaughtered before his eyes, and the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and bindeth him with brazen fetters, and they bring him to Babylon.
Babiloniahene maa Sedekia de nʼani kann hwɛɛ sɛ, wɔrekunkum ne mmammarima nyinaa. Afei, wɔtutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guu no, na wɔde no kɔɔ Babilonia.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), hath Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, come to Jerusalem,
Ab bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔsannaa) ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan wɔ afe a ɛyɛ Nebukadnessar mfeɛ dunkron adedie mu no, Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfoɔ so panin a ɔyɛ Babiloniahene mpanimfoɔ nu mu baako no kɔɔ Yerusalem.
9 and he burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, yea, every great house he hath burned with fire;
Ɔhyee Awurade Asɔredan ne ahemfie ne afie a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa. Adan pa a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu no, ɔsɛee ne nyinaa.
10 and the walls of Jerusalem round about have all the forces of the Chaldeans, who [are] with the chief of the executioners, broken down.
Awɛmfoɔ so panin no hwɛ maa Babilonia akodɔm no bubuu Yerusalem afasuo no.
11 And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, hath Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners removed;
Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfoɔ so panin no kyekyeree wɔn a wɔkaa kuropɔn no mu no, twaa wɔn ne nnipa a aka no ne akodɔm a wɔdaa wɔn ho adi sɛ wɔtaa Babiloniahene akyi no asuo.
12 and of the poor of the land hath the chief of the executioners left for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
Na awɛmfoɔ so panin no maa mmɔborɔfoɔ no mu bi tenaa Yuda, sɛ wɔnhwɛ bobe mfuo ne mfuo foforɔ a ɛka ho no so.
13 And the pillars of brass that [are] in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the sea of brass, that [is] in the house of Jehovah, have the Chaldeans broken in pieces, and bear away their brass to Babylon.
Babiloniafoɔ no bubuu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afadum, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nsuo nteaseɛnam ne Po a na ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ no, na wɔsoaa ne nyinaa kɔɔ Babilonia.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they minister they have taken,
Wɔtasee nkukuo, sofi, nkanea akapɛ, nyowaa ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nneɛma ahodoɔ a wɔde di wɔn afɔrebɔ ho dwuma wɔ Asɔredan no mu no nyinaa.
15 and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, hath the chief of the executioners taken.
Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfoɔ so panin no sane tasee nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu ne nhweaseammɔ ne nkuku ne nkaka nkaeɛ a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ ayɛ no nyinaa.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah, there was no weighing of the brass of all these vessels;
Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔnya firii afadum mmienu, nsuo teaseɛnam ne Ɛpo no mu no, na emu yɛ duru dodo sɛ wɔbɛtumi akari. Ɔhene Salomo berɛ so na ɔyɛɛ saa nneɛma yi guu Awurade Asɔredan mu.
17 eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the chapiter on it [is] of brass, and the height of the chapiter [is] three cubits, and the net and the pomegranates [are] on the chapiter round about — the whole [is] of brass; and like these hath the second pillar, with the net.
Na afadum no mu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu nson. Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ no ntaasoɔ a ɛdeda afadum no mu biara so no ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa a wɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ no ara bi a ɛyɛ atena sɛso ne ateaa aba sɛso atwa ho nyinaa ahyia de asiesie no.
18 And the chief of the executioners taketh Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,
Awɛmfoɔ so panin no kyekyeree ɔsɔfopanin Seraia, nʼabadiakyire Sefania ne apono ano sohwɛfoɔ mpanimfoɔ baasa sɛ nneduafoɔ.
19 and out of the city he hath taken a certain eunuch who is appointed over the men of war, and five men of those seeing the king's face who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host, who mustereth the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city,
Nnipa a na wɔakɔtetɛ no mu nso, ɔkyeree Yuda asraadɔm no mu panin baako, ɔhene no ankasa afotufoɔ baanum, asraadɔm sahene no twerɛfoɔ panin a na ɔfa nnipa wɔ adwuma mu ne ɔmanfoɔ aduosia.
20 and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners taketh them, and causeth them to go unto the king of Babylon, to Libnah,
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan de wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Babiloniahene anim wɔ Ribla.
21 and the king of Babylon smiteth them, and putteth them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removeth Judah from off its land.
Wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat hɔ no, ɔhene no ma wɔkunkum wɔn. Enti wɔtwaa Yuda asuo firii nʼasase so.
22 And the people that is left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath left — he appointeth over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan.
Ɔhene Nebukadnessar yii Ahikam babarima Gedalia a na ɔyɛ Safan nana no sɛ amrado a na ɔhwɛ nnipa a wɔkaa Yuda no so.
23 And all the heads of the forces hear — they and the men — that the king of Babylon hath appointed Gedaliah, and they come in unto Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite — they and their men;
Ɛberɛ a asraadɔm asahene ne wɔn mmarima tee sɛ Babiloniahene asi Gedalia amrado no, wɔkɔkaa ne ho wɔ Mispa. Nnipa a wɔkɔkaa ne ho no ne Netania babarima Ismael, Karea babarima Yohanan, Tanhumet a ɔfiri Netofa babarima Seraia ne Maakatni babarima Yaasania ne wɔn mmarima nyinaa.
24 and Gedaliah sweareth to them, and to their men, and saith to them, 'Be not afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is good for you.'
Gedalia dii nse, kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, Babilonia mpanimfoɔ no amma hɔ ɔhaw so. Ɔtuu wɔn fo sɛ, “Monnsuro sɛ mobɛsom Babiloniafoɔ. Montena asase no so na monsom Babiloniahene, na ɛbɛsi mo yie.”
25 And it cometh to pass, in the seventh month, come hath Ishmael son of Nathaniah, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him, and they smite Gedaliah, and he dieth, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have been with him in Mizpah.
Tisri bosome (bɛyɛ Ɛbɔ ne Ahinime ntam) no mpaemu wɔ saa afe no mu no, Netania babarima Ismael a ɔyɛ Elisama nana a na ɔfiri adehyeɛ abusua mu no de mmarima edu kɔɔ Mispa, kɔkumm Gedalia ne nnipa a na wɔka ne ho a wɔyɛ Yudafoɔ ne Babiloniafoɔ no nyinaa.
26 And all the people rise, from small even unto great, and the heads of the forces, and come in to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence of the Chaldeans.
Afei, nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa, ɛfiri akumaa so, kɔsi ɔkɛseɛ so ne akodɔm asahene, bɔɔ huboa, na wɔdwane kɔɔ Misraim, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsuro sɛ Babiloniafoɔ no bɛyɛ wɔn biribi.
27 And it cometh to pass, in the thirty and seventh year of the removal of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty and seventh of the month hath Evil-Merodach king of Babylon lifted up, in the year of his reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
Ɔhene Yehoiakyin dii mfeɛ aduasa nson wɔ nʼasutwa mu wɔ Babilonia no, Ewil-Merodak bɛdii Babiloniahene. Ɔhunuu Yehoiakyin mmɔbɔ, enti ɔyii no firii afiase saa afe no ara mu Adar bosome (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛtɔ so mmienu.
28 and speaketh with him good things and putteth his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon,
Ɔkaa abodwosɛm kyerɛɛ no, na ɔmaa no diberɛ a ɛwɔ animuonyam sene ahemfo a wɔne no wɔ Babilonia no deɛ.
29 and hath changed the garments of his restraint, and he hath eaten bread continually before him all days of his life,
Enti Yehoiakyin yii nʼafiase ntadeɛ guu nkyɛn, na ɛfiri saa ɛda no ɔdidii wɔ ɔhene didipono so ɛberɛ biara, kɔsii ne wu da.
30 and his allowance — a continual allowance — hath been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all days of his life.
Na Babiloniahene no sane maa Yehoiakyin sika ɛberɛ-ano-berɛ-ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka, kɔsii ne wu da.
