Jeremia 52
1 Ni-roapolo taoñe raik’ amby t’i Tsidkia te niorotse nifehe, vaho nifeleke folo-tao-raik’ amby e Ierosalaime ao; i Kamitale, ana’ Iirmeà nte-Libnà, ty tahinan-drene’e.
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 Nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, hambañe amo nanoe’ Iehoiakime iabio.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 Aa ie ami’ty haviñera’ Iehovà am’ Ierosalaime naho am’ Iehodà, le tsy mete tsy nanoe’e soike tsy ho añ’atrefa’e eo. Niola amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley t’i Tsidkia.
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 Aa ie ami’ty andro faha-folo’ i volam-paha-folo’ i taom-paha-sivem-pifehea’ey, le nivotrak’ e Ierosalaime ty Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, ie naho ze hene lahin-defo’e haname aze, naho nitobe niatrek’ aze; vaho nandranjy rafe-pitroarañe añ’ariary aze.
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 Aa le niarikatoheñe ampara’ ty taom-paha-folo-raik’ ambi’ i Tsidkia mpanjaka i rovay.
The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
6 Ie amy andro faha-sive’ i volam-pah-efatsey, te nisilofe’ ty kerè i rovay, le tsy ama mofo ondati’ i taneio.
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 Vinaky amy zao i rovay naho songa nivoratsake ty lay o lahindefoñeo, niavotse i rovay haleñe nimb’an-dalambey añivo’ ty kijoly roe, marine ty golobo’ i mpanjakay—ie amy zao niarikoboñe i rovay o nte-Kasdio—le norihe’iereo ty lalam-bañ’ Arabà mb’eo.
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 Fe nihoridañe’ o mpirai-lian-dahin-defon-te-Kasdio i mpanjakay vaho tsinepa’ iareo a’ monto’ Ieriko eo t’i Tsidkia; le hene nandripàk’ aze o lahindefo’eo.
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 Rinambe’ iareo amy zao i mpanjakay naho nasese mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley mb’e Ribla an-tane Kamate añe; le zinaka’e.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
10 Zinama’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley o ana’ i Tsidkiao aolom-pihaino’eo; le zinevo’e ka o roandria’ Iehodào e Riblà ao.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at Riblah.
11 Ginoa’e amy zao o fihaino’ i Tsidkiao; naho vinaho’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley an-torisìke, naho nendese’e mb’e Bavele añe vaho najo’e an-drohy ao am-para’ ty andro nivetraha’e.
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 Ie amy andro faha-folo’ i volam-paha-limey, an-taom-paha-folo-sive-ambi’ i Nebokadnetsare, mpanjaka’ i Bavele, le nivotrake e Ierosalaime ao t’i Nebozaradane, mpifehem-pigaritse, mpijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley;
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 le nampangotomomohe’e ty anjomba’ Iehovà naho ty anjomba’ i mpanjakay, vaho finorototo’e amañ’ afo ze hene anjomba’ ondati-bey.
He burned down the Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
14 Nakoroma’ o lahindefo nte-Kasdy mpiamy mpifehem-pigaritseio, o kijoly iaby niarikatoke Ierosalaimeo.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 Le nendese’ i Nebozaradane mpifehem-pigaritsey an-drohy mb’eo ty ila’ o rarake am’ondatio naho o honka’e an-drovao, naho o nivalike mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Baveleo vaho ty sehanga’ o mpitoloñeo.
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 Fe nenga’ i Nebozaradane ho mpañalahala vahe naho mpiarake o loho rarake amy taneio.
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 Le pinozapoza’ o nte-Kasdio o fahañe torisìke añ’anjomba’ Iehovào naho o foto’eo naho i tante-rano torisìke añ’anjomba’ Iehovày, vaho nendese’ iereo mb’e Bavele añe ze hene torisìke ama’e,
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 naho o valàñeo naho o sajoam-porohao naho o fiharatan-tsokotsokoo naho o fitovio, o finga’eo vaho o fanake torisìke fitoroña’ iareo iabio, vaho fonga nasese.
They also took all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items used in the Temple service.
19 Le nitavane’ i mpifehem-pigaritsey ka o soakazoo naho o endraendrao naho o kovetao naho o fitovio naho o mpitan-jiroo naho o koroboo; ze am-bolamena ty Amy volamena’ey vaho ze am-bolafoty ty Amy volafoti’ey.
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 I fahañe roe rey, i tante ranoy, i añombelahy torisìke folo-ro’amby ambane’ i riakey naho o foto’eo, o nitsenè’ i Selomò añ’anjomba’ Iehovào—tsy nian-danja ty torisìke amy hene fanake rezay.
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 Le i fahañe rey, sindre kiho folo-valo’ amby ty haabo’e, kiho’e folo-ro’amby ty taly nahafiariary aze; vaho rambom-pitañe efatse ty hateve’e, ie nikòake ty am-po’e ao.
Each column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls four fingers thick.
22 Hàlañe torisìke ty ambone’e eo; lime kiho ty haabo’ i hàlañey, tama’e ka ty tsingarakarake naho o saren-dagoa niaripitek’ ama’eo, songa torisìke; nihambañe ami’ty raike i faharoey rekets’ o dagoa’eo.
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 Sivam-polo-eneñ’amby ty dagoa añ’ ila’alafe’e eo, zato ty dagoa niariary aze amy tsingarakarakey.
There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
24 Le rinambe’ i mpifehem-pigaritsey t’i Seraia, mpisorom-bey naho i Tsefania, mpisorom-paha-roe, naho ty mpiamben-dalañe telo;
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple doorkeepers.
25 le nalae’e boak’ an-drova ao ty mpifehe tinendre ambone’ o lahindefoñeo naho ty lahilahy fito amo mpahaoniñe ty lahara’ i mpanjakaio, ze nitendrek’ an-drova ao; naho ty silikitera’ ty mpifeleke i màroy, i mpikoike ondati’ i taneio; vaho lahilahy enempolo am’ondati’ i taneio, ze nizoeñe amy rovay.
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 Nasese’ i Nebozaradane mpifehem-pigaritsey mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley e Riblà mb’eo iereo,
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 le zinevo’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley; navetra’e e Riblà an-tane Kamate eo. Aa le nasese boak’an-tane’e ao t’Iehodà.
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 Iretoa ondaty nasese’ i Nebokadnetsare an-drohio: amy taom-paha-fitoy, telo-arivo-tsi-roapolo-telo’ amby amo nte-Iehodao;
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 amy taom-paha-folo-valo-ambi’ i Nebokadnetsarey, ondaty valonjato-tsi-telopolo-ro’ amby boak’ Ierosalaime ao;
In his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 from Jerusalem.
30 amy taom-paha-roapolo-telo-ambi’ i Nebokadnetsarey le nasese’ i Nebozaradane mpifehem-pigaritsey an-drohy ty nte-Iehodà fiton-jato-tsi-efapolo-lim’ amby; nitontoñe ho ondaty efats’ arivo-tsi-enen-jato.
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 Aa le nifetsak’ amy andro faha-roapolo-lim’ ambi’ i volam-paha-folo-ro’ ambi’ i taom-paha-telo-polo-fito-ambi’ ty fandrohiza’ Iehoiakine mpanjaka’ Iehodày, te nampiavote’ Ivil-merodake mpanjaka’ i Bavele amy taom-baloham-pifeleha’ey ty añambone’ Iehoiakine mpanjaka’ Iehodà vaho nakare’e am-balabey ao.
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 Nisaontsy mora ama’e, vaho naonjo’e ambone’ ty fiambesa’ o mpanjaka ila’e niharo ama’e e Baveleo ty fiambesa’e.
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 Novae’e o sikim-pirohi’eo vaho nanjotsoañe mahakama añatrefa’e nainai’e amo hene andro niaiña’eo.
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 Le i fiveloma’ey, nitolom-pamahañe aze boak’ andro amo hene andro niaiña’eo ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele ampara’ ty andro nihomaha’e.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
