Yeremiya 52
1 Zeddekiya yali wa myaka amakumi abiri mu gumu egy’obukulu we yafuukira kabaka, n’afugira emyaka kkumi na gumu mu Yerusaalemi. Nnyina yayitibwanga Kamutali muwala wa Yeremiya ow’e Libuna.
Zedekiah was a son of twenty-one years when he first began to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah from Libnah.
2 Zeddekiya n’akola eby’omuzizo mu maaso ga Mukama, nga Yekoyakimu bwe yali akoze.
And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
3 Abalabe ba Yerusaalemi ne Yuda ne babalumba kubanga Mukama yali abanyiigidde. Ku nkomerero n’abagobamu mu nsi. Ebyo byonna ne bituuka ku Yerusaalemi ne ku Yuda, Mukama n’okubagoba n’abagoba mu maaso ge, ne Zeddekiya n’ajeemera kabaka w’e Babulooni.
And so the fury of the Lord was toward Jerusalem, and toward Judah, even until he cast them away from his face. And Zedekiah drew away from the king of Babylon.
4 Mu mwaka ogw’omwenda ogw’obufuzi bwa Zeddekiya, ku lunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’eggye lye lyonna, n’alumba Yerusaalemi, ekibuga ekyo n’akizingiza n’akizimbako ebifunvu okukyetooloola.
And it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, came against Jerusalem. And they besieged it, and they built fortifications against it, on every side.
5 Ekibuga ne bakizimbako ebifunvu okutuusa mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Zeddekiya.
And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
6 Ku lunaku olw’omwenda olw’omwezi ogwokuna enjala n’eba nnyingi nnyo mu kibuga nga tewaali kyakulya.
Then, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, a famine gripped the city. And there was no nourishment for the people of the land.
7 Bbugwe w’ekibuga yamenyebwa Abakaludaaya. Eggye lyonna erya Yerusaalemi ne lidduka okuva mu kibuga kiro nga bayita mu mulyango oguli wakati w’ebisenge ebibiri ebiri okumpi n’ennimiro lwa kabaka, newaakubadde ng’Abakaludaaya baali beetoolodde ekibuga. Badduka ne bagenda mu Alaba.
And the city was broken, and all the men of war fled, and they departed from the city at night by way of the gate which is between the two walls, and which leads to the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were besieging the city all around, and they went away by the road that leads to the wilderness.
8 Eggye ly’Abakaludaaya ne ligoba kabaka Zeddekiya ne bamukwatira mu nsenyi ez’e Yeriko, Abaserikale be bonna ne bamuvaako ne basaasaana.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king. And they overtook Zedekiah in the desert which is near Jericho. And all of his companions fled away from him.
9 N’akwatibwa. Zeddekiya n’atwalibwa eri kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libuna mu nsi ey’e Kamasi; n’amusalira omusango ne gumusinga.
And when they had captured the king, they led him away to the king of Babylon at Riblah, which is in the land of Hamath. And he spoke a judgment against him.
10 Awo kabaka w’e Babulooni n’atta batabani ba Zeddekiya nga kitaabwe alaba; n’atta n’abakungu bonna aba Yuda.
And the king of Babylon cut the throats of the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the leaders of Judah at Riblah.
11 N’alyoka aggyamu Zeddekiya amaaso n’amusiba mu masamba ag’ebikomo n’amutwala e Babulooni, gye yamuteeka mu kkomera okutuusa lwe yafa.
And he plucked out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with shackles, and the king of Babylon led him away to Babylon, and he placed him in the prison house, even until the day of his death.
12 Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi olw’omwezi ogwokutaano, mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi ogw’obufuzi bwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye erikuuma kabaka, eyaweerezanga kabaka w’e Babulooni, yajja e Yerusaalemi.
Then, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, arrived. And he was standing before the king of Babylon at Jerusalem.
13 Nebukadduneeza n’ayokya yeekaalu ya Mukama n’olubiri lwa kabaka, n’ennyumba zonna eza Yerusaalemi. Buli kizimbe kyonna eky’omugaso n’akyokya.
And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king, and to all the houses of Jerusalem. And every great house he burned with fire.
14 Eggye lya Babulooni lyonna eryali liduumirwa omuduumizi w’abakuumi bakabaka ne limenyera ddala ebisenge bya Yerusaalemi.
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.
15 Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’abakuumi n’atwala abamu ku baavu ennyo n’abo abaasigala mu kibuga, awamu n’abaweesi n’abaali beewaddeyo, mu buwaŋŋanguse eri kabaka w’e Babulooni.
Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, took away some of the poor people, and some of the rest of the common people, who had remained in the city, and some of the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
16 Naye Nebuzaladaani n’asigazaayo abamu ku baavu ennyo mu ggwanga okulabiriranga emizabbibu n’okulimanga.
Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.
17 Abakaludaaya ne bamenya empagi ez’ebikomo, n’ebikondo ebyali biseetulwa, n’Ennyanja ey’ekikomo, ebyali mu nnyumba ya Mukama ne batwala ekikomo kyonna e Babulooni.
The Chaldeans also broke apart the bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord. And they took all the brass of these things to Babylon.
18 Ne batwala n’entamu, n’ebisena, n’ebisalako ebisirinza, n’ebibya, n’ebijiiko, n’ebintu byonna eby’ekikomo ebyakozesebwanga mu kuweereza mu Yeekaalu.
And they took the cooking pots, and the hooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the bronze vessels that had been used in the ministry.
19 Omuduumizi w’abakuumi ba kabaka n’atwala ebensani n’ebibya by’obubaane, n’ebijiiko, n’ebikondo bye ttaala, n’ebibya, n’entamu ebikozesebwa mu kiweebwayo ekyokunywa, byonna ebyali byakolebwa mu zaabu ne ffeeza.
And the chief of the military took the water pots, and the censers, and the pitchers, and the basins, and the lampstands, and the mortars, and the little cups, whatever was gold, for the gold, and whatever was silver, for the silver,
20 Ekikomo okuva ku mpagi ebbiri, n’Ennyanja, n’ennume ekkumi n’ebbiri ez’ebikomo wansi waayo, n’ebikondo kabaka Sulemaani bye yali akoledde yeekaalu ya Mukama, byali bizito nnyo ebitapimika.
as well as the two pillars, and the one brass sea, and the twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord. There was no weight of brass left behind out of all these vessels.
21 Buli emu ku mpagi yali obuwanvu mita munaana ne desimoolo emu; n’obwetoolovu mita ttaano ne desimoolo nnya; n’omubiri gwayo gwali nga sentimita musanvu nga yamuwuluka.
Now concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a cord of twelve cubits encircled it. Moreover, its thickness was four fingers, and the interior was hollow.
22 Yaliko n’omutwe gw’ekikomo, n’omutwe gumu ng’obuwanvu bwayo nga mita bbiri ne desimoolo ssatu, omutwe nga guliko ebitimbe n’amakomamawanga enjuuyi zonna, byonna nga bya bikomo; empagi eyookubiri nayo yaliko ebifaanana ebyo n’amakomamawanga.
And heads of brass were upon both. And the height of one head was five cubits. And little nets with pomegranates were upon the heads all around, all of brass. The second pillar was similar, and the pomegranates.
23 Mu buli mbiriizi za buli mpagi kwaliko amakomamawanga kyenda mu mukaaga era gonna awamu okwetooloola empagi gaali amakomamawanga kikumi.
And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.
24 Omuduumizi w’abakuumi n’atwala Seraaya kabona asinga obukulu ne Sefaniya kabona owookubiri n’abaggazi abasatu nga basibe.
And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.
25 Abo abaali bakyali mu kibuga, n’atwalako omukungu akulira eggye, n’abawi b’amagezi omusanvu. N’atwala n’omuwandiisi eyali omukungu omukulu avunaanyizibwa okuwandiika abayingira mu magye ne basajja be nkaaga abaasangibwa mu kibuga.
He also took from the city one eunuch who was in charge of the men of war, and seven men among those who served before the face of the king, who were found in the city, and a scribe, a leader of the military, who tested the new recruits, and sixty men from the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
26 Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi n’abatwala bonna n’abaleeta eri kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libuna.
Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Kabaka n’abattira eyo e Libuna, mu Kamasi. Bw’atyo Yuda n’awaŋŋangusibwa, okuva mu nsi ya boobwe.
And the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was carried away from his land.
28 Buno bwe bungi bw’abantu Nebukadduneeza be yatwala mu buwaŋŋanguse: mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ogw’obufuzi bwe: Abayudaaya enkumi ssatu mu amakumi abiri mu basatu;
This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;
29 mu mwaka ogw’omunaana ogwa Nebukadduneeza, n’atwala lunaana mu asatu mu babiri okuva e Yerusaalemi;
in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;
30 mu mwaka gwe ogw’amakumi abiri mu esatu, Abayudaaya lusanvu mu ana mu bataano be baatwalibwa Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’abakuumi wa kabaka. Bonna awamu ne baba abantu enkumi nnya mu lukaaga.
in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, carried away of the Jews seven hundred forty-five souls. Therefore, all the souls were four thousand six hundred.
31 Awo mu mwaka ogw’amakumi asatu mu omusanvu ogw’okusibibwa kwa Yekoyakini kabaka wa Yuda, mu mwaka Evirumerodaki lwe yafuuka kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’ata Yekoyakini kabaka wa Yuda, n’amuggya mu kkomera ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu etaano olw’omwezi ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri.
And it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the very first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and he brought him out of the prison house.
32 N’ayogera naye n’ekisa n’amuwa entebe ey’ekitiibwa eya waggulu okusinga eza bakabaka abalala abaali naye e Babulooni.
And he spoke with him for good, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were after him in Babylon.
33 Yekoyakini n’akyusa okuva mu ngoye ez’ekkomera era obulamu bwe obusembayo n’aliranga ku mmeeza ya kabaka.
And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.
34 Era kabaka w’e Babulooni yawanga Yekoyakini ensako eya buli lunaku, obulamu bwe bwonna okutuusa lwe yafa.
And for his meals, a continual provision was allotted to him by the king of Babylon, a measure for every single day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
