Kronika 2 36
1 Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã tia Yehoahaz, Yosia ƒe vi eye wotsɔe ɖo fiae ɖe Yerusalem ɖe fofoa teƒe.
Then 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 and 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 deposed him at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in 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 and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did [that which was] evil in the sight 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 king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, 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.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD 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.
Now 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] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did [that which was] evil in the sight 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 when the year had expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and 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] one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and 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 [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD his God, [and] humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth 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 he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning to the LORD 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.
Moreover, all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted 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 God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, 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 the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath 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.
Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: 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 the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all [these] he brought 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 burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its goodly vessels.
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; where they were 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 fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: [for] as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfill 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,
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD [spoken] by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] 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 saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah. Who [is there] among you of all his people? The LORD his God [be] with him, and let him go up.
