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.
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 Zeddekiya n’akola eby’omuzizo mu maaso ga Mukama, nga Yekoyakimu bwe yali akoze.
And he did that which was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to 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.
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 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 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 Ekibuga ne bakizimbako ebifunvu okutuusa mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ogumu ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Zeddekiya.
And the city came into the siege, —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.
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 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.
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 Eggye ly’Abakaludaaya ne ligoba kabaka Zeddekiya ne bamukwatira mu nsenyi ez’e Yeriko, Abaserikale be bonna ne bamuvaako ne basaasaana.
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 N’akwatibwa. Zeddekiya n’atwalibwa eri kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libuna mu nsi ey’e Kamasi; n’amusalira omusango ne gumusinga.
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 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 slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, —moreover also all the princes of Judah, slew he in 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 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 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.
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 Nebukadduneeza n’ayokya yeekaalu ya Mukama n’olubiri lwa kabaka, n’ennyumba zonna eza Yerusaalemi. Buli kizimbe kyonna eky’omugaso n’akyokya.
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 Eggye lya Babulooni lyonna eryali liduumirwa omuduumizi w’abakuumi bakabaka ne limenyera ddala ebisenge bya Yerusaalemi.
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 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.
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 Naye Nebuzaladaani n’asigazaayo abamu ku baavu ennyo mu ggwanga okulabiriranga emizabbibu n’okulimanga.
But, others of the poor of the land, did Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners leave, for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
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.
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 Ne batwala n’entamu, n’ebisena, n’ebisalako ebisirinza, n’ebibya, n’ebijiiko, n’ebintu byonna eby’ekikomo ebyakozesebwanga mu kuweereza mu Yeekaalu.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Mu buli mbiriizi za buli mpagi kwaliko amakomamawanga kyenda mu mukaaga era gonna awamu okwetooloola empagi gaali amakomamawanga kikumi.
And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side, —all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the lattice-work round about.
24 Omuduumizi w’abakuumi n’atwala Seraaya kabona asinga obukulu ne Sefaniya kabona owookubiri n’abaggazi abasatu nga basibe.
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 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.
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 Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi n’abatwala bonna n’abaleeta eri kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libuna.
And when Nebuzaradan chief the royal executioners, had taken them, and brought them unto 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.
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 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 Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive, —In the seventh year—of them of Judah, three thousand and twenty-three;
29 mu mwaka ogw’omunaana ogwa Nebukadduneeza, n’atwala lunaana mu asatu mu babiri okuva e Yerusaalemi;
In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar—out of Jerusalem, eight hundred and thirty-two souls;
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 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 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 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 N’ayogera naye n’ekisa n’amuwa entebe ey’ekitiibwa eya waggulu okusinga eza bakabaka abalala abaali naye e Babulooni.
and spake with him comfortable words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon;
33 Yekoyakini n’akyusa okuva mu ngoye ez’ekkomera era obulamu bwe obusembayo n’aliranga ku mmeeza ya kabaka.
so he changed his prison garments, —and used to eat bread before his face continually, 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 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.
