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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
2 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, araka izay rehetra nataon’ i Joiakima.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, 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.
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah 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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
5 Ary ny tanàna dia nataony fahirano hatramin’ ny fahiraika ambin’ ny folo taona nanjakan’ i Zedekia mpanjaka.
The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
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 bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
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 wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of 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 Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left 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.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
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.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at Riblah.
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 gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
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, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer 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 Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
14 Ary ny manda rehetra manodidina an’ i Jerosalema dia noravan’ ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana rehetra, izay nanaraka ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked 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.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported some of the poor people and those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as 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 allowed others of the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the 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.
The Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took 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 all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items 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 commander of the guard removed the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or 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.
The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
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 column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls 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 on top of one column was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
23 Ary nisy ampongabendanitra enina amby sivi-folo teo ivelany; ary ny ampongabendanitra rehetra manodidina ny harato dia zato.
There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
24 Ary ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina nisambotra an’ i Seraia mpisoronabe sy Zefania mpisorona manarakaraka ary mpiandry varavarana telo lahy;
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple 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,
From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and seven of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
26 dia nosamborin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ireo ka nentiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before 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.
The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their land.
28 Izao no olona izay nentin’ i Nebokadnezara ho babo tamin’ ny taona fahafito, Jiosy telo amby roa-polo sy telo arivo;
This is a record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile. In the seventh year of his reign he took 3,023 Judeans.
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 his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 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 his twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took another 745 Judeans, making a total of 4,600.
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.
In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
32 Dia nitenenany soa izy, ka ny seza fiandrianany dia nataony ambony noho ny seza fiandrianan’ ireo mpanjaka namany tao Babylona.
The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there 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 was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently 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.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
