2 Amakhosi 24
1 Ngezinsuku zokubusa kukaJehoyakhimi uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yahlasela ilizwe, uJehoyakhimi wathela kuye okweminyaka emithathu. Kodwa waphinda waguquka wamvukela uNebhukhadineza.
Yehoiakim ahenni mu no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar bɛtow hyɛɛ Yuda asase so. Yehoiakim maa ne nsa so, na otuaa tow maa no mfe abiɛsa, nanso ɔtew Nebukadnessar so atua.
2 UThixo wathuma abahlaseli bamaKhaladiya lama-Asiriya lamaBhabhiloni lama-Aramu lamaMowabi, lama-Amoni, amhlasela. Wabathuma ukuchitha uJuda njengelizwi likaThixo alikhuluma ngezinceku zakhe abaphrofethi.
Na Awurade somaa akofo fi Babilonia, Aram, Moab ne Amon, kɔko tiaa Yuda, sɛee no, sɛnea Awurade nam nʼadiyifo so hyɛɛ ho nkɔm no.
3 Ngempela konke lokho kwenzeka koJuda mayelana lomlayo kaThixo ukuze basuswe phambi kwakhe ngenxa yazo zonke izono zikaManase azenzayo,
Saa amanehunu yi baa Yuda so, sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obeyi wɔn afi nʼanim, esiane bɔne dodow a Manase yɛe no nti,
4 langenxa yegazi elachithekayo lingelacala. Ngoba wayegcwalise iJerusalema ngegazi elingelacala njalo uThixo wayengazimiselanga ukuthethelela.
a na mogya a edi bem a ohwie guu no ka ho bi. Efisɛ ɔde mogya a edi bem fɔw Yerusalem dotoo; ɛno nti na Awurade mpɛ sɛ ɔde bɛkyɛ.
5 Ezinye izehlakalo zembali kaJehoyakhimi azilotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi akoJuda na?
Yehoiakim ahenni ho nsɛm nkae ne dwuma a odii nyinaa no, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
6 Wafa uJehoyakhimi waya ekuphumuleni kubokhokho bakhe. UJehoyakhini indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi.
Bere a Yehoiakim wui no, ne babarima Yehoiakyin na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
7 Inkosi yaseGibhithe ayizange ihlasele futhi iphuma elizweni layo, ngenxa yokuthi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yayisithethe ingxenye yelizwe layo enkulu kakhulu, kusukela eSihotsheni seGibhithe kuze kuyefika eMfuleni uYufrathe.
Misraimhene ansan amma bio, efisɛ na Babiloniahene afa nsase a anka na Misraimfo no agye no nyinaa, efi Misraim asuwa no so, kosi Asubɔnten Eufrate ho.
8 UJehoyakhini wayeleminyaka elitshumi lasificaminwembili esiba yinkosi, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okwezinyanga ezintathu. Ibizo likanina lalinguNehushita indodakazi ka-Elinathani; evela eJerusalema.
Bere a Yehoiakyin dii ade no, na wadi mfe dunwɔtwe, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem asram abiɛsa. Na ne na yɛ Elnatan a ofi Yerusalem no babea Nehusta.
9 Wenza ububi phambi kukaThixo, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise.
Yehoiakyin yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea nʼagya yɛe no ara pɛ.
10 Ngalesosikhathi amabutho kaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni afika eJerusalema, awuvimbezela umuzi,
Yehoiakyin ahenni mu no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar asraafo mu mpanyimfo betuaa Yerusalem ano.
11 uNebhukhadineza yena ngokwakhe wazafika amabutho akhe esewuvimbezele umuzi.
Otua no mu no, Nebukadnessar ankasa baa kuropɔn no mu.
12 UJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda wazinikela enkosini yaseBhabhiloni, yena lonina lezinceku zakhe kanye labathenwa bakhe. Ngomnyaka wesificaminwembili wokubusa kwenkosi yaseBhabhiloni uNebhukhadineza wathumba uJehoyakhini.
Na ɔhene Yehoiakyin ne nʼafotufo, atitiriw, mpanyimfo ne ɔhemmea de wɔn ho maa Babiloniafo. Nebukadnessar dii ade ne mfe awotwe so no, ɔkyeree Yehoiakyin de no too afiase.
13 Njengelizwi likaThixo, uNebhukhadineza wabutha yonke inotho yasethempelini likaThixo lenotho yesigodlo senkosi, wabutha zonke izitsha zegolide ezazisethempelini likaThixo, ezazenziwe nguSolomoni inkosi yako-Israyeli, njengokutsho kukaThixo.
Sɛnea Awurade aka dedaw no, Nebukadnessar tasee agyapade a ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ no ne ahemfi hɔ nyinaa. Wɔsɛee sikakɔkɔɔ nnwetɛbona a Israelhene Salomo de sisii asɔredan mu hɔ no nyinaa.
14 Wathumba abaseJerusalema bonke: izikhulu zonke, lawo wonke amadoda empi lazozonke izingcitshi ezileminwe, abantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi. Kwasala abantukazana kuphela elizweni.
Ɔhene Nebukadnessar kyekyeree nneduafo mpem du fii Yerusalem a ahenemma nyinaa ne asraafo akofo, adwumfo ne atomfo a wodi mu ka ho. Ɛno nti, ahiafo nko ara na ogyaw wɔn wɔ asase no so.
15 UNebhukhadineza wamthatha uJehoyakhini wayamgqilaza eBhabhiloni. Wathumba njalo eJerusalema unina wenkosi labafazi bayo lezikhulu zayo lamadoda aziwayo elizweni.
Nebukadnessar faa ɔhene Yehoiakyin de no kɔɔ Babilonia sɛ odeduani a ne yerenom ne ne mpanyimfo, ɔhemmea ne Yerusalem nnipa atitiriw ka ho.
16 Inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yathumbela eBhabhiloni wonke amadoda angamaqhawe, azinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, aqinileyo ayengaphuma impi, kanye lezingcitshi ezileminwe eziyinkulungwane.
Ɔfaa akofo a wɔte apɔw no mpem ason, adwumfo ne atomfo apem a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmarima a wɔn ho yɛ den na wɔfata akodi.
17 Inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yabeka uMathaniya isinini sikaJehoyakhini waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikaJehoyakhini, yasimupha ibizo elitsha lokuthi nguZedekhiya.
Babiloniahene de Yehoiakyin wɔfa Matania dii ade sɛ ɔhene foforo. Ɔsesaa Matania din frɛɛ no Sedekia.
18 UZedekhiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanye, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lanye. Ibizo likanina lalinguHamuthali indodakazi kaJeremiya, waseLibhina.
Bere a Sedekia dii ade no, na wadi mfirihyia aduonu baako. Odii ade wɔ Yerusalem mfirihyia dubaako. Na ne na din de Hamutal a ɔyɛ Yeremia a ofi Libna no babea.
19 Wenza okubi emehlweni kaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe nguJehoyakhimi.
Na Sedekia yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea Yehoiakim yɛe no.
20 Kwakungenxa yokuthukuthela kukaThixo ukuze kwenzakale konke lokhu eJerusalema lakoJuda, njalo ekucineni kwabangela ukuthi uThixo abachithe. Ngalokho uZedekhiya wayihlamukela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.
Awurade abufuw nti na eyinom nyinaa baa Yerusalem ne Yuda so, na akyiri no, oyii nʼani fii wɔn so. Afei, Sedekia sɔre tiaa Babiloniahene.
