Jeremia 52
1 Iraika amby roa-polo taona Zedekia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Hamotala, zanakavavin’ i Jeremia avy any Libna.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
2 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, araka izay rehetra nataon’ i Joiakima.
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 Fa ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah no nahatongavan’ izany tamin’ i Jerosalema sy ny Joda ambara-pandroakany azy tsy ho eo anatrehany. Ary Zedekia niodina tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona.
For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafolo tamin’ ny volana fahafolo tamin’ ny taona fahasivy nanjakan’ i Zedekia, dia tonga Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy ny miaramilany rehetra, hamely an’ i Jerosalema, ka nitoby tandrifiny sady nanao tilikambo manodidina azy izy.
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
5 Ary ny tanàna dia nataony fahirano hatramin’ ny fahiraika ambin’ ny folo taona nanjakan’ i Zedekia mpanjaka.
And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
6 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahasivy tamin’ ny volana fahefatra dia mafy ny mosary tao an-tanàna, fa tsy nisy hanina ho an’ ny olona tompon-tany.
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
7 Ary nisy voabanga ny tanàna, dia nandositra alina ny miaramila rehetra ka niala tao an-tanàna tamin’ ny lalana mankamin’ ny vavahady tanelanelan’ ny manda roa, izay eo anilan’ ny sahan’ ny mpanjaka (fa ny Kaldeana nanodidina ny tanàna), ka nandeha tamin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tani-hay.
Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
8 Ary ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana nanenjika ny mpanjaka ka nahatratra an’ i Zedekia teny amin’ ny tani-hay any Jeriko; dia nipariaka nandao azy ny miaramilany rehetra.
but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
9 Ary voasambotra ny mpanjaka ka nentiny niakatra ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla any amin’ ny tany Hamata, ka dia notsaraina tao izy.
The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
10 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona namono ny zanakalahin’ i Zedekia teo imason-drainy; ary ny mpanapaka ny Joda rehetra koa dia novonoiny tao Ribla.
There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
11 Ary nopotsiriny ny mason’ i Zedekia, dia nafatotry ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tamin’ ny gadra varahina izy ka nentiny nankany Babylona ary nataony tao an-trano-maizina mandra-pahafatiny.
Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
12 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafolo tamin’ ny volana fahadimy tamin’ ny taona fahasivy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia tonga tany Jerosalema Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, mpanompon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona,
On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
13 ka nandoro ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny trano rehetra tany Jerosalema: ny trano lehibe rehetra dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo avokoa.
He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
14 Ary ny manda rehetra manodidina an’ i Jerosalema dia noravan’ ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana rehetra, izay nanaraka ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina.
And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 Ary ny sasany tamin’ ny olona malahelo mbamin’ ny olona sisa tao an-tanàna sy izay efa nandositra nanatona ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona mbamin’ ny vahoaka maro be sisa dia nentin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ho babo avokoa.
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
16 Nefa ny olona malahelo dia namelan’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ihany mba ho mpamboatra tanim-boaloboka sy ho mpiasa tany.
But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
17 Ary ireo andry varahina teo amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny fitoeran-tavin-drano sy ny tavin-drano varahina lehibe, izay teo amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah, dia novakivakin’ ny Kaldeana, ka nentiny ho any Babylona ny varahina rehetra.
Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
18 Ary nentiny koa ny vilany fandraofan-davenona sy ny sotron’ afo sy ny antsy sy ny lovia famafazana sy ny lovia kely mbamin’ ny fanaka varahina rehetra izay nenti-nanao fanompoam-pivavahana.
They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
19 Ary nentin’ ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina koa ny lovia sy ny fitoeran-davenon-jiro sy ny lovia famafazana sy ny fandraofan-davenona sy ny fanaovan-jiro sy ny lovia kely sy ny kapoaka na ny volamena na ny volafotsy dia samy nentin’ ny lehiben’ ny mpanapaka avokoa,
The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
20 ary ny andry roa sy ny tavin-drano lehibe iray atỳ ny omby varahina roa ambin’ ny folo, Izay teo ambanin’ ny fitoeran-tavin-drano, izay nataon’ i Solomona mpanjaka ho an’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; ny varahina tamin’ izany fanaka rehetra izany dia tsy hita lanja.
As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
21 Fa ny andry, dia valo ambin’ ny folo hakiho no hahavony, ary roa ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny manodidina azy; ary ny hateviny dia voantondro efatra, fa poakaty izy.
Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
22 Ary nisy kapitaly varahina teo aminy; dimy hakiho no hahavon’ ny kapitaly anankiray, ka nisy harato sy ampongabendanitra manodidina ny kapitaly, samy varahina avokoa izy. Ny andry faharoa koa sy ny ampongabendanitra dia mba tahaka izany ihany koa.
The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.
23 Ary nisy ampongabendanitra enina amby sivi-folo teo ivelany; ary ny ampongabendanitra rehetra manodidina ny harato dia zato.
Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
24 Ary ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina nisambotra an’ i Seraia mpisoronabe sy Zefania mpisorona manarakaraka ary mpiandry varavarana telo lahy;
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
25 ary tao an-tanàna no nisamborany ny tandapa anankiray, mpifehy ny miaramila, ary fito lahy tamin’ izay mpitoetra eo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka, izay hita tao an-tanàna, ary ny mpanoratry ny komandin’ ny miaramila, izay mpandamina ny ho miaramila, sy ny olona tompon-tany enim-polo lahy izay hita teo an-tanàna,
Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
26 dia nosamborin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ireo ka nentiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla.
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Dia novonoin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla any amin’ ny tany Hamata ireo. Toy izany no nitondrana ny Joda ho babo niala tamin’ ny taniny.
There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
28 Izao no olona izay nentin’ i Nebokadnezara ho babo tamin’ ny taona fahafito, Jiosy telo amby roa-polo sy telo arivo;
These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
29 tamin’ ny taona fahavalo ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Nebokadnezara dia roa amby telo-polo amby valon-jato no olona nentiny ho babo avy tany Jerosalema;
in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
30 tamin’ ny taona fahatelo amby roa-polo nanjakan’ i Nebokadnezara dia Jiosy dimy amby efa-polo amby fiton-jato no nentin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ho babo. Ny tontalin’ izy rehetra dia enin-jato amby efatra arivo.
in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
31 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahadimy amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny taona fahafito amby telo-polo taorian’ ny namaboana an’ i Joiakina, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tamin’ ny taona vao nanjakan’ i Evila-merodaka, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia nasandrany hiala tao an-trano-maizina Joiakina, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
32 Dia nitenenany soa izy, ka ny seza fiandrianany dia nataony ambony noho ny seza fiandrianan’ ireo mpanjaka namany tao Babylona.
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 Ka dia novan’ i Joiakina ny fitafiany fony izy mbola tao an-trano-maizina; ary nihinan-kanina teo anatrehany mandrakariva izy tamin’ ny andro niainany rehetra.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
34 Ary ny hanina nohaniny dia hanina homena avy amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, araka ny tokony ho anjarany isan’ andro isan’ andro tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany mandra-pahafatiny.
And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
