Yeremia 52
1 Zedekia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe wuiɖekɛ. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Hamutal, Yeremia ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòtso Libna.
One and twenty years was Zedekiah old when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si Yehoyakim wɔe ene.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that Jehoyakim had done.
3 Yehowa ƒe dziku tae nu siawo katã va Yerusalem kple Yuda dzi ɖo. Eye le nuwuwu la, eɖe wo ɖa le eƒe ŋkuta. Ke azɔ la, Zedekia dze aglã ɖe Babilonia fia ŋuti.
For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass against Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out of his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 Ale le Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe asiekɛlia me, le ɣleti ewolia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia dzi la, Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar ho kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ɖe Yerusalem dua ŋuti. Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe gli la godo eye woƒu kpo ƒo xlã du la.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they encamped against it, and built against it works of attack round about.
5 Woɖe to ɖe du la va se ɖe fia Zedekia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiɖekɛlia me.
So the city was placed in a state of siege until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 Le ɣleti enelia ƒe ŋkeke asiekɛlia dzi la, dɔ si to ɖe dua me la nu sẽ ale gbegbe be nuɖuɖu aɖeke meganɔ dua me na ameawo woaɖu o.
And in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, when the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land:
7 Kasia, woŋɔ gli si woɖo ƒo xlã du la eye asrafoha si le dua me la katã si dzo. Togbɔ be Babiloniatɔwo ɖe to ɖe dua hã la, wodze agbagba si le zãtitina to agbo si le gli eveawo dome eye wòte ɖe fia ƒe amabɔ ŋuti la me. Ale woɖo ta Araba gbegbe
The city was broken in, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was near the king's garden; [while the Chaldeans were round about the city; ] and they went by the way of the plain.
8 gake Babilonia ƒe aʋakɔ la ti Fia Zedekia yome eye wòva tui le Yeriko tagba. Woma eya kple eƒe asrafowo dome eye asrafoawo kaka gbẽe.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was scattered from him.
9 Ke wolé eya ŋutɔ. Wokplɔe yi na Babilonia fia le Ribla, le Hamatnyigba dzi, afi si wòbu fɔe le.
And they caught the king, and they brought him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Chamath: and he called him to account.
10 Le Ribla la, Babilonia fia wu Zedekia ƒe viwo katã le eŋkume, hekpe ɖe Yuda ƒe dumegãwo ŋu.
And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: and also all the princes of Judah did he slaughter in Riblah.
11 Emegbe Babilonia fia gbã Zedekia ƒe ŋkuwo heblae kple akɔblikɔsɔkɔsɔ eye wòkplɔe yi Babilonia afi si wòdee gaxɔ me ɖo va se ɖe eƒe kugbe.
And the eyes of Zedekiah did he blind; and the king of Babylon bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in the ward-house till the day of his death.
12 Le ɣleti atɔ̃lia ƒe ŋkeke ewoa gbe, le fia Nebukadnezar ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiasiekɛlia me la, Nebuzaradan, aʋafia si wɔ dɔ le Babilonia fia te la va Yerusalem.
And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, [who] served the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
13 Etɔ dzo Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, fiasã la kple aƒe siwo le Yerusalem. Vavã, etɔ dzo aƒe vevi ɖe sia ɖe.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house: and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, did he burn with fire:
14 Babiloniatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo si le aʋafia la ƒe kpɔkplɔ te la gbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo katã keŋkeŋ.
And all the walls of Jerusalem round about did all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, pull down.
15 Aʋafia, Nebuzaradan kplɔ ame dahewo, ame siwo susɔ ɖe dua me kple aɖaŋudɔwɔlawo kple ame siwo si Babilonia fia tso la yi aboyo mee.
And certain of the poorest of the people, and the residue of the people that had been left in the city, and the deserters, that had run away to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away into exile.
16 Gake Nebuzaradan gblẽ anyigba la ƒe ame dahewo ɖi be woawɔ dɔ le waingblewo kple agble bubuwo dzi.
But certain of the poorest of the land did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard leave for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
17 Babiloniatɔwo gbã akɔblisɔti, akɔblizɔ kple woƒe anyinɔwo le Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me eye wolɔ akɔbliawo katã yi Babilonia.
Also the pillars of copper that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the copper sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Chaldeans break, and they carried off all their copper to Babylon.
18 Wotsɔ zɔwo, sofiwo, akaɖiɖovusẽhɛ, treawo, agbawo kple akɔblinu siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le subɔsubɔ me le gbedoxɔ me la hã dzoe.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they used to perform the service, did they take away.
19 Fiaŋusrafowo ƒe tatɔ la tsɔ gagbawo, dzoɖesonuwo, trewo, zewo, akaɖitiwo, nuɖugbawo kple gagba siwo ŋu dɔ wowɔna le nunovɔsa me la hã dzoe, nu siwo wowɔ kple sika nyuitɔ alo klosalo.
And the basins, and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the purifying-tubes: of what was of gold the gold, and of what was of silver the silver, did the captain of the guard take away.
20 Akɔbli si woɖe le akɔblisɔti eveawo, gazɔwo kple akɔblinyitsu wuieve siwo le wo te kple eƒe afɔtiwo ŋuti, siwo fia Solomo wɔ na Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ, nu siawo katã ƒe akɔbli mele dada me o.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve copper oxen that served instead of the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the copper of all these vessels could not be weighed.
21 Sɔti ɖe sia ɖe kɔkɔ “mita” asiekɛ, eye wòkeke “mita” ade, ɖe sia ɖe ƒe titrime anye asibidɛ ene eye do le wo me.
And as regardeth the pillars, eighteen cubits was the height of each one pillar; and a thread of twelve cubits would compass it; and its thickness was four fingers: it was hollow.
22 Wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ kukuvi ɖe sɔti ɖe sia ɖe tame, kukuvi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe kɔkɔme nye “mita” eve kple afã. Wolɔ̃ ɖɔ tɔxɛ aɖe tsɔ do atsiã na kukuviawo godoo va kpe eye nenema ke wotsɔ akɔbli wɔ nu si woyɔna be yevuboɖa la ɖe kukuviawo ŋuti godoo va kpe ɖe atsiã tɔxɛ me. Nɔnɔme sia tɔgbi ke mee wowɔ sɔti evelia hã ɖo.
And a capital was upon it of copper; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of copper. And the like was the case with the second pillar and the pomegranates.
23 Yevuboɖa blaasiekɛ-vɔ-ade le axawo dzi, eye esiwo katã wolɔ̃ ƒo xlã sɔtiawo la le alafa ɖeka.
And the pomegranates were ninety and six on every side: all the pomegranates upon the network were one hundred round about.
24 Aʋafia la ɖe aboyo nunɔlagã Seraya, eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Zefania kple agbonudzɔla etɔ̃awo.
And the captain of the guard took Serayah the chief priest, and Zephanyah the priest second in rank, and the three door-keepers;
25 Ekplɔ asrafo siwo gale aʋa wɔm la ƒe amegã kple fia ƒe aɖaŋuɖola adre, le ame siwo gasusɔ ɖe dua me la dome dzoe. Egakplɔ agbalẽŋlɔla si nye dɔnunɔlagã si dia amewo dea asrafodɔ me kple eŋutime blaade siwo ŋu wòke ɖo le dua me la hã dzoe.
And out of the city he took a certain court-officer, who had the supervision of the men of war: and seven men of those that had free access to the kings presence, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the chief of the army, who ordered to the army the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city;
26 Aʋafia Nebuzaradan kplɔ wo yi na Babilonia fia le Ribla.
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and led them away unto the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 Le Ribla, le Hamatnyigba dzi, afi ma fia la na wowu wo ɖo. Ale Yuda yi aboyo me, hedzo le eƒe denyigba dzi.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Chamath. Thus Judah was carried away into exile out of his own country.
28 Esia nye ame siwo Nebukadnezar kplɔ yi aboyo mee la ƒe xexlẽme: Le eƒe ƒe adrelia me, Yudatɔwo, ame akpe etɔ̃ kple blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃;
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away into exile: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty and three Jews;
29 Le Nebukadnezar ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me, Yerusalemtɔ alafa enyi kple blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve;
In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar from Jerusalem, eight hundred thirty and two persons;
30 Le eƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia me, Yudatɔ alafa adre blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃, ame siwo aʋafia Nebuzaradan kplɔ dzoe. Aboyomeyilawo katã le ame akpe ane, alafa ade.
In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away into exile of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons; all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31 Le Yuda fia, Yehoyatsin ƒe aboyomenɔnɔ ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adrelia me, le ƒe si me Evil Merodak zu fia le Babilonia la, eɖe Yuda fia Yehoyatsin tso gaxɔ me le ɣleti wuievelia ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-atɔ̃lia dzi.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the exile of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the five and twentieth day of the month that Evil-merodach the king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoyachin the king of Judah, and brought him forth out of the prison-house;
32 Eƒo nu nɛ lɔlɔ̃tɔe eye wòna bubuteƒe si kɔ wu fia siwo katã li kpli le Babilonia la tɔ.
And he spoke kindly with him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
33 Ale Yehoyatsin ɖe eƒe gaxɔmewu da ɖi, heɖu nu le fia ƒe kplɔ̃ ŋu le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
And he changed his prison-garments: and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.
34 Babilonia fia naa Yehoyatsin ƒe gbe sia gbe nuhiahiãwoe le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me va se ɖe eƒe kugbe.
And his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, the necessary ration for the day on its day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
