< Jeremia 52 >

1 Zedekia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Hamutali mwarĩ wa Jeremia; nake oimĩte Libina.
Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehoiakimu eekĩte.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Na nĩ ũndũ wa marakara ma Jehova-rĩ, nĩkĩo maũndũ macio mothe meekĩkire kũu Jerusalemu na Juda, na mũthia-inĩ akĩmaingata mehere mbere yake. Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia akĩremera mũthamaki wa Babuloni, akĩaga gwathĩka.
For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence: and Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwaka-inĩ wa kenda wa ũthamaki wa Zedekia, mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri wa ikũmi-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩthiĩ kũhũũrana na Jerusalemu arĩ na ita rĩake rĩothe, nao makĩamba hema nja ya itũũra rĩu inene, na magĩaka ihumbu cia tĩĩri mĩena yothe yarĩo cia kũmateithia gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
5 Narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩgĩikara rĩrĩ irigiicĩrie nginya mwaka wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa ũthamaki wa Zedekia.
So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri wa kana, ngʼaragu ĩkĩneneha mũno kũu itũũra-inĩ, o nginya gũkĩaga irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩyo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rũkĩmomorwo, nacio mbũtũ ciothe cia ita ikĩũra. Moimire itũũra-inĩ ũtukũ magereire kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ hakuhĩ na mũgũnda wa mũthamaki, o na gũtuĩka andũ a Babuloni nĩmarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe. Nao makĩũra merekeire Araba,
Then a breach was made in the city, 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 by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about: ) and they went by the way of the Arabah.
8 no mbũtũ ya ita ya Babuloni ĩgĩtengʼeria Mũthamaki Zedekia nginya ĩkĩmũkinyĩra werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Jeriko. Thigari ciake ciothe ikĩamũranio nake ikĩhurunjwo.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
9 Nayo mbũtũ ya ita ya Babuloni ĩkĩnyiita Mũthamaki Zedekia. Makĩmũtwara kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni ũrĩa warĩ kũu Ribila, bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, na kũu nĩkuo aamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.
10 Mũthamaki wa Babuloni arĩ kũu Ribila nĩoragithirie ariũ a Zedekia o hau maitho-inĩ ma ithe wao; agĩcooka akĩũragithia anene othe a Juda.
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
11 Nĩacookire agĩkũũrithia Zedekia maitho, na akĩmuoha na bĩngũ cia gĩcango, akĩmũtwara Babuloni, na kũu akĩmũikia njeera nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
12 Mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri wa ĩtano, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na kenda wa gũthamaka kwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni-rĩ, Nebuzaradani mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki wa Babuloni, ũrĩa watungataga mũthamaki wa Babuloni, agĩũka Jerusalemu,
Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, which stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem:
13 agĩcina hekarũ ya Jehova, na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o na nyũmba ciothe cia Jerusalemu. Ningĩ agĩcina nyũmba o yothe yarĩ ya bata kuo.
and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned he with fire.
14 Nayo mbũtũ yothe ya ita ya Babuloni, ĩtongoretio nĩ mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, ĩkĩmomora thingo ciothe iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu.
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
15 Nebuzaradani ũcio warĩ mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki nĩatahire andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno, na andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, hamwe na mabundi marĩa mangĩ, o na andũ arĩa metwarĩte o ene kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
16 No Nebuzaradani nĩatigire andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno a bũrũri ũcio kuo, nĩguo marutage wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ ya mĩthabibũ na mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
17 Andũ a Babuloni makiunanga itugĩ cia gĩcango, na metha cia kũigĩrĩrwo indo, na Karia karĩa kaarĩ ga gĩcango, iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, magĩkuua gĩcango kĩu gĩothe magĩgĩtwara Babuloni.
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brasen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
18 Ningĩ magĩkuua nyũngũ, na icakũri, na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria maaĩ, na thaani, o na indo ciothe cia gĩcango iria ciahũthagĩrwo wĩra-inĩ wa hekarũ, magĩthiĩ nacio.
The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
19 Mũnene ũcio wa thigari cia mũthamaki nĩakuuire mbakũri iria nene, na Ngĩo, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria maaĩ, na nyũngũ, na mĩtĩ ya matawa, na thaani, o na mbakũri iria ciahũthagĩrwo na kũruta maruta ma kũnyuuo, iria ciothe ciathondeketwo na thahabu ĩrĩa therie kana betha.
And the cups, and the firepans, and the basons, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
20 Gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarutirwo itugĩ-inĩ icio cierĩ, na Karia kau, na ndegwa iria ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia gĩcango iria ciarĩ rungu rwako, na metha, iria Mũthamaki Solomoni aathondekete cia hekarũ ya Jehova, gĩtingĩathimĩkire nĩ kũingĩha.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
21 O gĩtugĩ kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩnana kũraiha, na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ gũthiũrũrũka; na o kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ na ũtungu wa ciara inya, na kĩarĩ na irima gatagatĩ.
And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
22 Kĩongo gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau gĩtugĩ-igũrũ, o kĩmwe kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha, na gĩkagemio na rũgara rũrĩ na makomamanga ma gĩcango gũthiũrũrũkĩria. Gĩtugĩ kĩu kĩngĩ gĩa keerĩ, kĩrĩ na makomamanga makĩo nĩkĩahaanaine biũ na kĩu kĩngĩ kĩa mbere.
And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.
23 Na haarĩ na makomamanga mĩrongo kenda na matandatũ maacuuhĩte mĩena-inĩ; makomamanga mothe marĩa maathiũrũrũkĩirie igũrũ wa magemio macio ma rũgara maarĩ igana rĩmwe.
And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were an hundred upon the network round about.
24 Mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri nĩanyiitire Seraia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na Zefania mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa wa keerĩ harĩ we, o na andũ arĩa atatũ maarangagĩra mũrango.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
25 Harĩ andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ inene, akĩnyiita mũnene ũrĩa warũgamĩrĩire andũ a mbaara, na akĩnyiita andũ mũgwanja arĩa maataaraga mũthamaki. Ningĩ akĩnyiita karani ũrĩa mũnene, ũrĩa wandĩkithagia andũ a gũthiĩ ita a bũrũri ũcio, na andũ ake mĩrongo ĩtandatũ arĩa maakorirwo itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene.
and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king’s face, which were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
26 Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmakuua othe, akĩmatwarĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni kũu Ribila.
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
27 Kũu Ribila, bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, nĩkuo mũthamaki ũcio wa Babuloni aamoragithĩirie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Juda magĩtahwo, magĩtwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ, makĩrutwo bũrũri wao.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
28 Ũyũ nĩguo mũigana wa andũ arĩa Nebukadinezaru aatahire akĩmatwara bũrũri ũngĩ: mwaka-inĩ wa mũgwanja aatahire Ayahudi 3,023;
This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
29 naguo mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa ũthamaki wa Nebukadinezaru, agĩtaha andũ 832 kuuma Jerusalemu;
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
30 o naguo mwaka-inĩ wake wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ, agĩtaha Ayahudi 745 magĩtwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ nĩ Nebuzaradani ũcio mwathi wa arangĩri a mũthamaki. Andũ acio othe maarĩ 4,600.
in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31 Na gũgĩkinya atĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mũgwanja kuuma rĩrĩa Jekonia, mũthamaki wa Juda, aatwarirwo bũrũri ũngĩ, mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa Evili-Merodaki aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Babuloni-rĩ, nĩohorithirie Jekonia mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩmũrekereria oime njeera mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano wa mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the [first] year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;
32 Nĩamwarĩirie na ũhooreri, na akĩmũhe gĩtĩ gĩa kũmũtũgĩria gũkĩra athamaki acio angĩ maarĩ nao kũu Babuloni.
and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
33 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jekonia akĩruta nguo ciake cia njeera, na agĩtũũra arĩĩanagĩra irio na mũthamaki matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo.
and he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.
34 Mũthamaki ũcio wa Babuloni nĩaheaga Jekonia indo cia kũmũteithia o mũthenya matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo, nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
