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 Jehoachaz 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.
Twenty and three years old was Joachaz when he became king, and three months did he reign 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 deposed him at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine on 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 Elyakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoyakim. And Joachaz his brother did Necho take away, and bring 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.
Twenty and five years old was Jehoyakim when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord 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 the king of Babylon, and he bound him with fetters, to carry him away to Babylon.
7 Nebukadnezar lɔ sikatrewo kple nu bubuwo tso gbedoxɔ la me ɖada ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe gbedoxɔ me le Babilonia.
And some of the vessels of the house of the Lord did Nebuchadnezzar carry to Babylon, and he placed 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 Jehoyakim, and his abominable deeds which he did, and that which was found concerning him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoyachin his son became king 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.
Eight years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months and ten days did he reign in Jerusalem: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
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 with the expiration of the year did king Nebuchadnezzar send and had him brought to Babylon, with the costly vessels of the house of the Lord: 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.
Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord his God: he humbled himself not before Jeremiah the prophet, according to the order of the Lord.
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 also against king Nebuchadnezzar did he rebel, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart so as not to return unto the Lord 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.
Also all the chiefs of the priests and the people committed manifold trespasses, like all the abominable acts of the [foreign] nations: and they defiled the house of the Lord 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 the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them by means of his messengers, making [them] rise early, and sending [them]: 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 scorned his prophets, until the fury of the Lord arose against his people, till 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 over them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, the old man, and the aged: all did he give up 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, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, —all these did he carry 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 burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and all her palaces they burnt with fire, and all her costly vessels they gave 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 those that had escaped from the sword did he carry into exile to Babylon: and they were servants to him and to his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to the government:
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 fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had satisfied its sabbaths: all the days of its desolation it rested, till seventy years were completed.
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 the king of Persia, at the completion of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, did the Lord stir up the spirit of Cyrus the king of Persia, so that he caused a proclamation to be made throughout all his kingdom, and also by means of 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 hath said Cyrus the king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
