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.
Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and eleven years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Jehoiakim mere.
And he did that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —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 it was, because the anger of Yahweh, had come against Jerusalem and Judah until 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, on the tenth of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and he built against it a siege-wall round about.
5 Anọchibidoro obodo a nʼagha ruo nʼafọ nke iri na otu nke ọchịchị eze Zedekaya.
And the city came into the siege, —until 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.
In the fourth month on the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be 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 was the city broken up, and all the men of war, beginning to flee went forth out of the city by night, by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the garden of the king the Chaldeans being near the city round about), —and they went the way towards the Waste 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,
And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah, in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, 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.
So they seized the king, and brought him up, unto the king of Babylon at Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and he pronounced upon him sentences of judgment.
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, —moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he 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.
and the eyes of Zedekiah, put he out, —and bound him with fetters of bronze and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison—until 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.
And in the fifth month on the tenth of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, —who stood before 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 he burned the house of Yahweh and the house of the king, —yea all the houses of Jerusalem even every great man’s house, 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 walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
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.
And some of the poor of the people and the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who had fallen away unto the king of Babylon and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners carry away captive.
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, others of the poor of the land, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners leave, 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.
And the pillars of bronze that pertained to the house of Yahweh and the stands and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, did the Chaldeans, break in pieces, —and they carried away all the bronze 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.
and the caldrons and the shovels and the snuffers and the dashing bowls, and the spoons even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made did they take 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 basins and the censers and the dashing bowls and the caldrons and the lamps and the spoons and the cups, which were of gold in gold, and which were of silver in silver, did the chief of the royal executioners, take 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.
As for the two pillars the one sea, and the twelve oxen of bronze which were under the stands which King Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh, without weight was the bronze of all these things.
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.
Now as for the pillars, eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, a line of twelve cubits, compassed it about, —and the thickness thereof was four fingers’ breadth—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 there was, a capital, upon it, of bronze, and the height of each capital, was five cubits, with lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about—the whole was of bronze, —and like these, were the second pillar and the pomegranates.
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 the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side, —all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the lattice-work 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 chief of the royal executioners, took away, Seraiah the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance-hall;
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.
and out of the city, took he one eunuch who was in charge over the men of war and seven men of them who used to watch the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the prince of the host, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26 Nebuzaradan, bụ ọchịagha kpụụrụ ha niile, dute ha nʼihu eze Babilọn na Ribla.
And when Nebuzaradan chief the royal executioners, had taken them, and brought them unto the king of Babylon at 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.
then did the king of Babylon smite them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath, —thus carried he Judah captive away from off their own soil.
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—of them of Judah, three thousand and twenty-three;
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—out of Jerusalem, eight hundred and thirty-two souls;
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, Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners took away captive, of them of Judah, seven hundred and forty-five souls: All, the souls, 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 thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year he began to 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 with him comfortable words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who 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.
so he changed his prison garments, —and used to eat bread before his face continually, 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 his allowance, was a continual allowance given him from the king of Babylon the portion of the day upon its own day, until the day of his death, —all the days of his life.
