Kronika 2 36
1 Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã tia Yehoahaz, Yosia ƒe vi eye wotsɔe ɖo fiae ɖe Yerusalem ɖe fofoa teƒe.
And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead, in Jerusalem.
2 Yehoahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ esi wòdze fiaɖuɖu gɔme, ke eɖu fia le Yerusalem ɣleti etɔ̃.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Egipte fia ɖe Yehoahaz le fiazikpui la dzi le Yerusalem eye wòɖo nudzɔdzɔ Yuda dzi be wòana klosaloga kilogram akpe etɔ̃, alafa ene kple sikaga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene.
And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Egipte fia tsɔ Eliakim, Yehoahaz nɔvi, ɖo fia ɖe Yuda kple Israel nu. Wotrɔ Eliakim ƒe ŋkɔ wòzu Yehoyakim. Ke Neko kplɔ Eliakim nɔvi Yehoahaz yi Egipte.
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 Yehoyakim xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiɖekɛ le Yerusalem. Ewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God.
6 Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar, ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu, ɖu edzi eye wòde kɔsɔkɔsɔ Fia Yehoyakim heɖe aboyoe yi Babilonia.
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him with chains of brass to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebukadnezar lɔ sikatrewo kple nu bubuwo tso gbedoxɔ la me ɖada ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe gbedoxɔ me le Babilonia.
And Nebuchadnezzar carried [part] of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Woŋlɔ Yehoyakim ƒe ŋutinya kple eƒe wɔna mamlɛawo kple nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo katã wòwɔ la ɖe Yuda kple Israel fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽ me. Via Yehoyatsin ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
9 Yehoyatsin xɔ ƒe enyi ko esi wòɖu fia; eɖu fia le Yerusalem ɣleti etɔ̃ kple ŋkeke ewo ko. Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Mawu ƒe ŋkume o.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
10 Esi ƒe trɔ la, Fia Nebukadnezar yɔe va Babilonia le adame. Wolɔ kesinɔnu geɖewo tso Yerusalem gbedoxɔ la me yi Babilonia eye Fia Nebukadnezer tsɔ Yehoyatsin nɔvi Zedekia ɖo fiae ɖe Yuda kple Yerusalem nu.
And at the turn of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of Jehovah; and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiɖekɛ le Yerusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Zedekia nye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume elabena egbe, mezɔ ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia ƒe nya si wòse tso Yehowa gbɔ hegblɔ nɛ la nu o.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before the prophet Jeremiah speaking from the mouth of Jehovah.
13 Edze aglã ɖe Fia Nebukadnezar ŋu togbɔ be eka atam nɛ be yeasubɔe anukwaretɔe hã hafi. Zedekia nye kɔlialiatɔ aɖe le Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe sewo dzi mawɔmawɔ me eye wògbe metrɔ ɖe Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ŋu o.
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take oath by God; and he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from returning to Jehovah the God of Israel.
14 Ame vevi siwo katã nɔ dukɔ la me, nunɔlagãwo gɔ̃ hã, subɔ dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la ƒe legbawo ale wodo gu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la le Yerusalem.
All the chiefs of the priests also, and the people, increased their transgressions, according to all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la ɖo eƒe nya ɖe wo to eƒe dɔlawo dzi enuenu elabena ekpɔ nublanui na eƒe dukɔ la kple eƒe nɔƒe la.
And Jehovah the God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending; because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling-place.
16 Ke ameawo ɖe alɔme le Mawu ƒe ame dɔdɔwo ŋu eye wodo vlo woƒe nyawo. Woɖu fewu le eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo ŋu va se ɖe esime Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋu eye avuléla menɔ anyi o.
But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his people, and there was no remedy.
17 Ekplɔ Babilonia fia ƒu wo, ame si wu woƒe ɖekakpuiwo kple yi le Kɔkɔeƒe la eye meve ɖekakpuiwo loo alo ɖetugbiwo, ametsitsi loo alo amegãɖeɖi nu o. Mawu tsɔ wo katã de asi na Nebukadnezar.
And he brought up [against] them the king of the Chaldees, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and spared not young man nor maiden, old man nor him of hoary head: he gave [them] all into his hand.
18 Elɔ nu siwo katã le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me, nu suewo kple gãwo siaa kple Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me nu xɔasiwo kple fia ƒe dɔnunɔlawo ƒe nu xɔasiwo katã yi Babilonia.
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, he brought all to Babylon.
19 Wotɔ dzo Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la, gbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo, wotɔ dzo fiasãwo katã eye wogblẽ nu sia nu si ŋu asixɔxɔ nɔ le afi ma.
And they burned the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof were given up to destruction.
20 Ekplɔ ame siwo susɔ, esiwo si le yi nu la yi aboyome le Babilonia eye wova zu subɔlawo na eya ŋutɔ kple via ŋutsuwo va se ɖe esime Persia fiaɖuƒe la xɔ ɖe eteƒe.
And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they became servants to him and his sons, until the reign of the kingdom of Persia;
21 Anyigba la xɔ eƒe Dzudzɔgbe dzudzɔwo. Edzudzɔ ɣeyiɣi siwo katã wònye aƒedo va se ɖe esime ƒe blaadre de le Yehowa ƒe nya si wògblɔ ɖi to Yeremia dzi la nu.
to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
22 Le Sirus ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Persia dzi ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, be yeawɔ Yehowa ƒe nya si Yeremia gblɔ dzi la, Yehowa ʋa Sirus, Persia fia ƒe dzi be wòaɖe gbeƒã le eƒe anyigba blibo la dzi eye wòade gbeƒãɖeɖe sia nuŋɔŋlɔ me be,
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
23 Nu si Sirus, Persia fia, gblɔe nye, “Yehowa, dziƒo ƒe Mawu, tsɔ anyigbadzidukɔwo katã dziɖuɖu de asi nam eye wotiam be matu gbedoxɔ na ye le Yerusalem, le Yuda. Ame siwo nye Yehowa ƒe ame eye wole mia dome la, Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la nanɔ kpli wo eye wòana woadzo ayi.”
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up.
