Jeremaya 52

1 Zedekaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na otu mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị dị ka eze na Jerusalem afọ iri na otu. Aha nne ya bụ Hamutal nwa Jeremaya, onye Libna.

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 O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Jehoiakim mere.

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 Ọ bụ nʼihi iwe Onyenwe anyị ka ihe ndị a niile ji bịakwasị Jerusalem na Juda. Nʼikpeazụ, o sitere nʼihu ya chụpụ ha. Nʼoge a, Zedekaya nupuru isi nʼokpuru eze Babilọn.

For through the anger of the Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4 Nʼihi ya, nʼafọ nke itoolu, nke ọchịchị Zedekaya, nʼụbọchị nke iri nʼọnwa nke iri, nke afọ ahụ, Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn, duuru usuu ndị agha ya niile bịa ibuso Jerusalem agha. Ha mara ụlọ ikwu ndị agha nʼazụ obodo ahụ, wuokwa mgbidi nnọchibido gburugburu obodo ahụ.

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 pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

5 Anọchibidoro obodo a nʼagha ruo nʼafọ nke iri na otu nke ọchịchị eze Zedekaya.

So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

6 Nʼabalị nke itoolu, nke ọnwa anọ nʼafọ ahụ, oke ụnwụ siri ike dị nʼobodo ahụ ruo na ọ dịkwaghị nri dị nke ndị mmadụ ga-eri.

And 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 Mgbe ahụ, e tipuru oghere nʼaja mgbidi obodo ahụ, ndị agha niile ji abalị gbapụ site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼetiti mgbidi abụọ nʼakụkụ ubi eze a gbara ogige, nʼagbanyeghị na ndị Babilọn nọ obodo ahụ gburugburu. Ha gbapụrụ chee ihu nʼụzọ Araba.

Then the city was broken up, 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 by the city round about: ) and they went by the way of the plain.

8 Ma usuu ndị agha Babilọn chụsoro Zedekaya bụ eze nʼazụ, chụkwute ya na mbara ala Jeriko. Ndị agha ya niile sitere nʼebe ọ nọ gbasasịa, hapụ ya,

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 e jide ya. Ha kpụgara ya eze Babilọn, nʼobodo Ribla, nke dị nʼala Hamat, ebe a nọ maa ya ikpe.

Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

10 Na Ribla ka eze Babilọn nọ gbuo ụmụ ndị ikom Zedekaya niile, nʼihu ya, o gbukwara ndịisi ọchịchị Juda niile.

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11 Ọ ghụpụrụ anya Zedekaya abụọ, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, kpụrụ ya gaa Babilọn, ebe o tinyere ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ tutu ruo ụbọchị ọnwụ ya.

Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

12 Nʼụbọchị nke iri, nʼọnwa nke ise, nke afọ iri na itoolu, nke ọchịchị Nebukadneza eze Babilọn, Nebuzaradan ọchịagha ndị nche eze, onye na-ejere eze Babilọn ozi, bịarutere Jerusalem.

Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,

13 O sunyere ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọkụ, ụlọeze na ụlọ niile dị na Jerusalem, ụlọ ọbụla bụ nke dị mkpa ka o surere ọkụ.

And burned the house of the Lord, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:

14 Usuu ndị agha Kaldịa niile bụ ndị nọ nʼokpuru onyeisi ndị nche eze ahụ, kwaturu mgbidi ahụ niile gbara Jerusalem gburugburu.

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 Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche eze, buru ụfọdụ nʼime ndị dakarịsịrị nʼogbenye na ndị fọdụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ, ha na ndị ǹka niile fọdụrụ, na ndị ahụ ji aka ha gbakwuru eze Babilọn, bulaa ha Babilọn, ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ.

Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

16 Ma Nebuzaradan, hapụrụ ndị ahụ bụ nnọọ ndị ogbenye ọnụ ntụ, ka ha na-elekọta ubi vaịnị niile a gbara ogige na ala ubi niile.

But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

17 Ma ndị Babilọn tipịara ogidi bronz niile, ha na ihe ndọkwasị niile na Oke osimiri bronz ndị ahụ dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, buru bronz ahụ niile bulaa Babilọn.

Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

18 Ha chịkọọrọ ite niile, na shọvel niile na ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ niile, na efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile, na ngaji ukwu niile, na ihe bronz niile, bụ nke e ji eje ozi nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ.

The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

19 Ọchịagha ndị nche eze ahụ sikwa nʼụlọnsọ ahụ chịrị ihe ndị a: efere ukwu niile, ihe ịgụnye ọkụ niile, efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile, ite niile, ihe ịdọkwasị oriọna niile, ngaji ukwu niile na iko e ji enye onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ, ya bụ ihe ndị ahụ niile e ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha maọbụ ọlaọcha kpụọ.

And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

20 O burukwara bronz sitere nʼogidi abụọ ahụ, oke Osimiri ahụ na ehi iri na abụọ e ji bronz kpụọ, bụ nke dị nʼokpuru ya, na ihe ndọkwasị ya niile, nke eze bụ Solomọn mere nʼihi ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ha karịrị ihe a ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ tụọ.

The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

21 Ị dị elu nke otu nʼime ogidi abụọ ndị a bụ mita asatọ na ụma nʼọtụtụ. Ị dị gburugburu ya bụkwa mita ise na ụma anọ, nke ọbụla nʼime ha bụ mkpịsịaka anọ. Oghere dịkwa nʼime ha.

And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

22 Isi bronz nke e kpụkwasịrị nʼotu ogidi dị mita abụọ na ụma atọ nʼịdị elu. Ọ bụkwa ihe yiri mkpụrụ pomegranet e ji bronz kpaa, ka e ji chọọ ya mma gburugburu ya niile. Ogidi nke abụọ nwekwara pomegranet, yiri ibe ya.

And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.

23 Pomegranet ndị ahụ dị iri itoolu na isii, ọ bụkwa nʼakụkụ ọbụla ka ọ dị. Ọnụọgụgụ pomegranet niile dị nʼelu ihe ahụ a kpụrụ akpụ dị otu narị.

And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.

24 Ọchịagha ndị nche eze ahụ, kpụụrụ Seraya, onyeisi nchụaja, na Zefanaya, bụ onye nchụaja na-esote ya nʼọkwa, na ndị nche atọ na-eche ọnụ ụzọ mbata dịka ndị mkpọrọ.

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

25 O sitere nʼetiti ndị ahụ fọdụrụ nʼobodo kpụụrụ otu onyeisi na-ahụ maka ndị agha, na ndị ikom asaa na-enye eze ndụmọdụ. O kpukwaara ode akwụkwọ, onye isi ọrụ na-ahụ maka ịmanye ndị ga-aga agha, jidekwa iri ndị ikom isii bụ ndị a hụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ.

He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe 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 Nebuzaradan, bụ ọchịagha kpụụrụ ha niile, dute ha nʼihu eze Babilọn na Ribla.

So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

27 Nʼebe ahụ na Ribla, dị nʼobodo Hamat, ka eze nọ nye iwu ka e gbuo ha niile. Ya mere, a dọọrọ Juda nʼagha, mee ka ọ ga biri nʼala ọzọ.

And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.

28 Nke a bụ ọnụọgụgụ ndị ahụ Nebukadneza mere ka ha gaa biri nʼala ọzọ. Nʼafọ nke asaa nke ọchịchị ya, puku atọ ndị Juu na iri abụọ na atọ, 3,023.

This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:

29 Nʼafọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Nebukadneza, ka o mere ka narị mmadụ asatọ na iri atọ na abụọ, 832 si na Jerusalem gaa biri nʼala ọzọ.

In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:

30 Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na atọ, Nebuzaradan, onyeisi ndị nche alaeze Babilọn bulara ndị dị narị ndị Juu asaa na iri anọ na ise, 745 ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ. Ọnụọgụgụ ha niile dị puku anọ na narị isii, 4,600.

In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzar-adan 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 Nʼafọ nke iri atọ na asaa, site na mgbe e mere ka Jehoiakin eze Juda gaa biri nʼala ọzọ, nʼafọ Awel-Maduk ghọrọ eze Babilọn. Mgbe ahụ, o mere ka Jehoiakin eze Juda, si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ pụta, nwere onwe ya. O mere nke a nʼụbọchị iri abụọ na ise nke ọnwa iri na abụọ.

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 Ọ gwara ya okwu ọma, nyekwa ya ọnọdụ ugwu dị elu karịa ọnọdụ ndị eze ndị ọzọ niile ha na ya nọ na Babilọn.

And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

33 Nʼihi nke a, Jehoiakin gbanwere uwe mkpọrọ ya, wezuga ya. Sitekwa nʼoge ahụ tutu ruo mgbe ọ nwụrụ, ya na eze na-erikọ nri.

And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.

34 Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, eze Babilọn na-enye Jehoiakin oke ihe ruru ya kwa ụbọchị niile nke ọ dị ndụ, ruokwa nʼụbọchị ọnwụ ya.

And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
