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 take Jehoahaz son of Josiah and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.
2 Yehoahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ esi wòdze fiaɖuɖu gɔme, ke eɖu fia le Yerusalem ɣleti etɔ̃.
Jehoahaz [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has 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 turns him aside in Jerusalem, and fines the land one 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 causes his brother Eliakim to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turns his name to Jehoiakim; and Necho has taken his brother Jehoahaz and brings 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 [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and he does evil in the eyes of his God YHWH;
6 Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar, ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu, ɖu edzi eye wòde kɔsɔkɔsɔ Fia Yehoyakim heɖe aboyoe yi Babilonia.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come up against him, and binds him in bronze chains to take 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 Nebuchadnezzar has brought from the vessels of the house of YHWH to Babylon, and puts them in his temple in 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 matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he has done, and that which is found against him, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah, and his son Jehoiachin reigns 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 [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH;
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 has sent and brings him to Babylon with the desirable vessels of the house of YHWH, and causes his brother Zedekiah to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiɖekɛ le Yerusalem.
Zedekiah [is] a son of twenty-one years in his reigning, and he has 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 does evil in the eyes of his God YHWH, he has not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of YHWH;
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 has also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardens his neck and strengthens his heart against turning back to YHWH, 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 heads of the priests and the people have multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of YHWH that He has sanctified 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 YHWH, God of their fathers, sends to them by the hand of His messengers—rising early and sending—for He has had pity on His people and on His habitation,
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 are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, until the going up of the fury of YHWH against His people—until there is no healing.
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 causes the king of the Chaldeans to go up against them, and he slays their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and has had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged—He has given the whole 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 YHWH, and the treasures of the king and of his princes—he has brought the whole 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 burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and they have burned all its palaces with fire, and all its desirable vessels—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 he removes those left of the sword to Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, until the reigning 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 fulfill the word of YHWH in the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land has enjoyed its Sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept Sabbath—to the fullness of 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, at the completion of the word of YHWH in the mouth of Jeremiah, YHWH has awoken the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causes an intimation to pass over into all 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 said Cyrus king of Persia: YHWH, God of the heavens, has given all kingdoms of the earth to me, and He has laid a charge on me to build a house for Him in Jerusalem which [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? His God YHWH [is] with him, and he goes up!”
