Heremaia 52

1 E rua tekau ma tahi nga tau o Terekia i a ia i kingi ai; a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Hamutara, he tamahine na Heremaia o Ripina.

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 A i kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Iehoiakimi.

And he did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 Na reira i a Ihowa ka riri nei, ka puta mai te aitua ki Hiruharama, ki a Hura, a maka noatia atu ratou i tona aroaro; a i whakakeke a Terekia ki te kingi o Papurona.

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 Na i te iwa o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te tekau o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ka tae mai a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ia me tana ope katoa ki Hiruharama, a whakapaea ana e ia; a hanga ana e ratou etahi taumaihi a taka noa, hei whawhai atu ki reira.

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 Heoi ka whakapaea te pa a tae noa ki te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Kingi Terekia.

And the city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

6 I te wha o nga marama, i te iwa o nga ra o te marama, ka tino nui te matekai o te pa, na kahore he taro ma nga tangata o te whenua.

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 Katahi ka pakaru te pa, rere ana nga tangata whawhai katoa, puta ana i roto i te pa i te po, na te ara o te kuwaha i waenganui o nga taiepa e rua, na tera i te kari a te kingi, i karapotia hoki te pa e nga Karari; a haere ana ratou na te ara o te Arapa.

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 Otiia i whaia te kingi e te ope o nga Karari, a hopukia ana a Terekia ki nga mania i Heriko; a i marara noa atu tana ope katoa i tona taha.

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 Na ka mau ratou ki te kingi, a kawea ana ki te kingi o Papurona, ki Ripira i te whenua o Hamata; a whakaputaia ana e ia te whakawa mona.

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 Na tukitukia ana e te kingi o Papurona nga tama a Terekia i tana tirohanga: i tukitukia ano e ia nga rangatira katoa o Hura ki Ripira.

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 Na tikarohia ana e ia nga kanohi o Terekia; a herea ana ia e te kingi o Papurona ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona, maka ana ki te whare herehere, a taea noatia te ra i mate ai ia.

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 Na i te rima o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ko te tekau ma iwa hoki ia o nga tau o Kingi Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, ka haere mai a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, he tangata tu i te aroaro o te kingi o Papurona, ki Hiru harama.

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 Na tahuna ake e ia te whare o Ihowa, me te whare o te kingi; a tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi nga whare katoa o Hiruharama, nga whare katoa hoki o te hunga nunui.

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 Na ka wawahia e te ope katoa o nga Karari, e ta te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, nga taiepa katoa o Hiruharama a whawhe noa.

And the entire army of the Chaldeans, who were with the chief of the military, destroyed the entire wall all around Jerusalem.

15 Katahi ka whakahekea atu e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki etahi o nga tino rawakore o te iwi, me era atu ano o te iwi i mahue ki te pa, me te iwi i papahoro atu, i taka atu ki te kingi o Papurona, me nga morehu ano o taua huihui.

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 Engari i waiho e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki etahi o nga tino rawakore o te whenua hei kaimahi waina, hei paruaruru.

Yet truly, some of the poor of the land, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, left behind as vinedressers and farmers.

17 Na, ko nga pou parahi i te whare o Ihowa, ko nga turanga me te moana parahi i te whare o Ihowa, wawahia ana e nga Karari, a maua atu ana e ratou te parahi katoa o aua mea ki Papurona.

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 I maua atu ano e ratou nga pata, nga koko pungarehu, nga kutikuti rama, nga peihana, nga koko, me nga oko parahi katoa mo a ratou mahi tapu.

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 Ko nga kapu, ko nga paepae ngarahu, ko nga peihana, ko nga pata, ko nga turanga rama, ko nga koko, ko nga oko; ko nga mea i hanga ki te koura, he koura, ko nga mea i hanga ki te hiriwa, he hiriwa, i maua katoatia atu e te rangatira o nga kaitiak i.

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 Na ko nga pou e rua, ko te moana kotahi, ko nga puru parahi kotahi tekau ma rua i raro i nga turanga, i hanga nei e Kingi Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa: kahore he paunatanga o te parahi o enei oko katoa.

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 Na ko nga pou, kotahi tekau ma waru whatianga te tiketike o te pou kotahi; tekau ma rua hoki nga whatianga o te aho hei pae mona; na, ko te matotoru, e wha nga ringa: he tuwhera a roto.

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 A ko te whakapaipai o runga he parahi; ko te tiketike o te whakapaipai kotahi, e rima nga whatianga, he parahi katoa te mea i whiria me nga pamekaranete i tetahi taha o te whakapaipai, i tetahi taha. Rite tonu hoki ki enei o te rua o nga pou, me nga pamekaranete ano.

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 Na e iwa tekau ma ono nga pamekaranete o nga taha; a ko nga pamekaranete katoa i te mea i whiria, kotahi te rau, a whawhe noa.

And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down; and there were one hundred pomegranates in all, surrounded by the little nets.

24 Na tangohia ana e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki a Heraia, te tino tohunga, me te tohunga tuarua, me Tepania, me nga kaitiaki tokotoru o te kuwaha:

And the chief of the military took Seraiah, the first priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the vestibule.

25 I tangohia hoki e ia i roto i te pa tetahi rangatira o nga tangata whawhai, tokowhitu hoki no te aroaro pu ake o te kingi, he hunga i rokohanga ki roto ki te pa; me te kaituhituhi a te rangatira ope, ko ia nei te kaihuihui i nga tangata o te whe nua; e ono tekau hoki nga tangata o te iwi o te whenua, he hunga i rokohanga e ia ki roto ki te pa.

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 Na ka mau a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a ratou, kawea ana ki te kingi o Papurona ki Ripira.

Then Nebuzaradan, the chief of the military, took them, and he led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

27 Na patua iho ratou e te kingi o Papurona, whakamatea iho ki Ripira, ki te whenua o Hamata. Heoi whakahekea atu ana a Hura i tona oneone.

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 Ko te hunga tenei i whakaraua atu e Nepukareha: i te whitu o nga tau e toru mano e rua tekau ma toru nga Hurai:

This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;

29 I te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Nepukareha, e waru rau e toru tekau ma rua nga tangata i whakaraua atu e ia i Hiruharama:

in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred thirty-two souls from Jerusalem;

30 I te rua tekau ma toru o nga tau o Nepukareha, e whitu rau e wha tekau ma rima nga tangata o nga Hurai i whakaraua atu e Neputaraarana, e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki: ko aua tangata katoa e wha mano e ono rau.

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 Na i te toru tekau ma whitu o nga tau o te whakahekenga atu o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura, i te tekau ma rau o nga marama, i te rua tekau ma rima o nga ra o te marama, ka whakaarahia e Ewiri Meroraka kingi o Papurona, i te tau tuatahi i kingi ai ia, te mahunga o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura, whakaputaina ana ia e ia i roto i te whare herehere;

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 A korero pai ana ia ki a ia, nekehia ake ana e ia tona torona ki runga ake i te torona o nga kingi i tona taha i Papurona.

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 Kakahuria ana e ia he kakahu ke i ona kakahu o te herehere, a kai taro ana ia i tona aroaro i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.

And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread in his sight always, all the days of his life.

34 Na, ko tana kai he kai i homai tonu e te kingi o Papurona mana, he mea mo tenei ra, mo tenei ra, a taea noatia te ra o tona matenga, i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.

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.
