UJeremiya 52
1 UZedekhiya waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanye, njalo wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka elitshumi lanye. Ibizo likanina lalinguHamuthali indodakazi kaJeremiya waseLibhina.
HE iwakaluakumamakahi na makahiki o Zedekia, ia ia i hoomaka ai e noho aupuni; a noho aupuni iho la oia ma Ierusalema, he umikumamakahi makahiki. O Hamutala ka inoa o kona makuwahine; o ke kaikamahine ia a Ieremia no Libena.
2 Wenza okubi emehlweni kaThixo, njengalokho okwakwenziwe nguJehoyakhimi.
Hana hewa iho la oia imua o na maka o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Iehoiakima i hana'i.
3 Kwakungenxa yokuthukuthela kukaThixo ukuze kwenzakale konke lokhu eJerusalema lakoJuda, njalo ekucineni kwabangela ukuthi uThixo abachithe. Ngalokho uZedekhiya wayihlamukela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni.
No ka ukiuki o Iehova i hiki ai keia mau mea ma Ierusalema, a ma Iuda, a kipaku aku oia ia lakou mai kona alo aku, a kipi o Zedekia i ke alii o Babulona.
4 Ngakho ngenyanga yesificamunwemunye yokubusa kukaZedekhiya, ngosuku lwetshumi lwenyanga yetshumi, uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, waya eJerusalema lebutho lakhe lonke. Bahlala ngaphandle kwedolobho, bakha izinqaba zokulivimbezela kuzozonke inhlangothi zalo.
A hiki i ka makahiki eiwa o ka makahiki o kona noho aupuni ana, i ka malama umi, i ka umi o ka la o ka malama, hele mai la o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, oia, a me kona poe kaua a pau e ku e ia Ierusalema, a hoomoana ku e oia ia wahi, a hana iho la i mau puu kaua a puni ia.
5 Idolobho lavinjezelwa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wetshumi lanye kaZedekhiya inkosi.
Pela i hoopilikiaia ke kulanakauhale a hiki i ka makahiki umikumamakahi o ke alii o Zedekia.
6 Ngosuku lwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga yesine indlala yayisinzima edolobheni, abantu bengaselakudla.
A i ka malama aha, i ka iwa o ka la o ka malama, nui loa ka wi iloko o ke kulanakauhale, aohe berena no na kanaka o ka aina.
7 Umduli wedolobho wafohlwa, ibutho lonke labaleka. Basuka edolobheni ebusuku bephuma ngesango eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili, phansi kwesivande senkosi, lanxa nje amaKhaladiya ayeligombolozele idolobho. Babaleka beqonde e-Arabha,
Alaila wahiia ke kulanakauhale, a hee na kanaka kaua a pau, a puka aku la iwaho o ke kulanakauhale, ma ke ala o ka pukapa mawaena o na pa elua, aia ma ka mahinaai o ke alii: (ua puni hoi ke kulanakauhale i ko Kaledea; ) a hele ae la lakou ma ke ala o ka papu.
8 kodwa ibutho lamaKhaladiya laxotshana lenkosi uZedekhiya layamfica emagcekeni aseJerikho. Wonke amabutho akhe ehlukana laye njalo ahlakazeka,
Alaila, hahai ka poe kaua o ko Kaledea, mahope o ke alii, a loaa o Zedekia ia lakou ma na papu o Ieriko, a ua hoopuehuia'ku la kona poe kaua, mai ona aku la.
9 yena wathunjwa. Wasiwa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni eRibhila elizweni laseHamathi, lapho eyamgwebela khona.
Alaila, hoopio lakou i ke alii, a lawe aku la ia ia i ke alii o Babulona, ma Ribela, ma ka aina o Hamata; a malaila oia i hoohewa'i ia ia.
10 Khona eRibhila inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yabulala amadodana kaZedekhiya emehlweni akhe; yabulala lezikhulu zakoJuda zonke.
A pepehi ke alii o Babulona i na keiki a Zedekia imua o kona maka; a pepehi no hoi oia i na luna a pau o ka Iuda ma Ribela.
11 Emva kwalokho, yamkhupha amehlo uZedekhiya, yambopha ngamaketane ethusi, yamusa eBhabhiloni, lapho eyamfaka khona entolongweni kwaze kwafika usuku lokufa kwakhe.
A poalo iho la oia i na maka o Zedekia, a hoopaa no hoi ke alii o Babulona ia ia i na kupe keleawe, a lawe aku la ia ia i Babulona, a waiho aku la ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, a i ka la o kona make ana.
12 Ngosuku lwetshumi ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificamunwemunye kaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, uNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi besikhosini, owayesebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, wafika eJerusalema.
A i ka malama elima, i ka umi o ka la o ka malama, oia hoi ka makahiki umikumamaiwa o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, alaila hele mai la i Ierusalema o Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua, nana i hookauwa na ke alii o Babulona.
13 Wathungela ithempeli likaThixo ngomlilo, lesigodlo senkosi lezindlu zonke zaseJerusalema. Zonke izindlu eziqakathekileyo wazitshisa.
A puhi iho la oia i ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a me na hale a pau o Ierusalema, a me na hale o ka poe koikoi, puhi no oia ia mau mea i ke ahi.
14 Lonke ibutho laseBhabhiloni elalingaphansi komlawuli wabalindi besikhosini layidiliza yonke imiduli eyayigombolozele iJerusalema.
A o na kanaka kaua a pau o ko Kaledea, ka poe mamuli o ka lunakaua, hoohiolo lakou i na pa a pau o Ierusalema a puni.
15 UNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi wathatha abanye babayanga bokucina wabasa ekuthunjweni lalabo ababesele edolobheni, lenengi lezingcwethi kanye lalabo abasebeye enkosini yaseBhabhiloni.
Alaila, lawe pio aku la o Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i na kanaka hune, a me na kanaka i koe ma ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe i hele, na mea hoi i hele i ke alii o Babulona, a me ka nui o ka poe i koe.
16 Kodwa uNebhuzaradani watshiya inengi labantu ababengabayanga bokucina elizweni ukuba basebenze ezivinini lasemasimini.
Waiho no nae o Nebuzaredana, ka lunakaua i kekahi poe hune o ka aina i poe paipai kumuwaina, a i poe mahiai hoi.
17 AbeBhabhiloni baphahlaza izinsika zethusi lezinti zezibane loLwandle lwethusi, okwakusethempelini likaThixo. Bathwalela ithusi lelo eBhabhiloni.
Wawahi no hoi ko Kaledea i na kia keleawe iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a me na poho a me na ipu auau keleawe, ka mea maloko o ka hale o Iehova, a lawe lakou i ke keleawe a pau o ia mau mea i Babulona,
18 Bathatha njalo imbiza, lamafotsholo, lezindlawu lemiganu yezichelo, lezinditshi lazozonke izitsha zethusi ezazisetshenziswa enkonzweni yasethempelini.
A lawe aku no hoi lakou i na ipu wai nui, a me na kopelehu, a me na upa kukui, a me na paipu a me na puna a me na ipu keleawe a pau, na mea lawelawe o lakou.
19 Umlawuli wabalindi besigodlo wathatha izinditshi, izitsha zokutshisela impepha, imiganu yezichelo, imbiza, izinti zezibane, izinditshi lemiganu okusetshenziswa eminikelweni yokunathwayo konke okwakwenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo loba isiliva.
A lawe aku no hoi ka lunakaua i na ipu, a me na paahi, a me na paipu, a me na ipu wai nui, a me na ipukukui manamana, na puna, a me na kiaha; o ka mea gula, he gula, a o ka mea kala, he kala.
20 Ithusi elalivela ensikeni ezimbili, loLwandle lelenkunzi zethusi ezilitshumi lambili ezazingaphansi kwalo kanye lelezidindi ezisusekayo konke okwakwenzelwe ithempeli likaThixo yinkosi uSolomoni, kwakulesisindo esasingelinganiswe.
I na kia elua, hookahi ipu auau, he umikumamalua bipi kane na mea malalo iho o na poho, na mea a ke alii a Solomona i hana'i maloko o ka hale o Iehova. Pau ole ke keleawe o keia mau mea hana a pau, ke kaupaonaia.
21 Ubude bensika ngayinye babuzingalo ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili, ubuqatha buzingalo ezilitshumi lambili, uhlonzi luyiminwe emine njalo ilomhome.
A o na kia, he umikumamawalu kubita ke kiekie o kekahi kia, a puni hoi ia i ke apo, he umikumamalua kubita; eha lima kona manoanoa; ua kawaha.
22 Isiduku sethusi phezu kwenye insika sasizingalo ezinhlanu ubude baso njalo siceciswe ngomeluko lamaphomegranathi ethusi nxazonke. Enye insika, lamaphomegranathi ayo, layo yayinjalo.
A he papale keleawe maluna ona. Elima kubita ke kiekie o kekahi papale, me ka mea ulana pukapuka, a me na pomegerane maluna o na papalekia a puni, ho keleawe a pau loa. A ua like hoi me neia ka lua o ke kia, a me na pomegerane.
23 Emaceleni kwakulamaphomegranathi angamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye munye lesithupha; esewonke amaphomegranathi ayengaphezu kobufikifiki obabuzungezile, ayelikhulu.
A he kanaiwakumamaono na pomegerano o kekahi aoao; o na pomegerane a pau ma ka mea ulana pukapuka, hookahi haneri a puni.
24 Umlawuli wabalindi wathumba uSeraya induna yabaphristi, loZefaniya umsekeli wakhe kanye labalindi bomnyango abathathu.
A lawe aku la ka lunakoa ia Seraia ke kahuna nui, a ia Zepania ke kahuna lua, a me na kiaipuka ekolu.
25 Kulabo ababelokhu besedolobheni wathatha isikhulu esasiphethe amadoda okulwa, labacebisi besikhosini abayisikhombisa. Wathatha lonobhala owayeyinduna eyayiphethe ukubuthwa kwabantu elizweni kanye labanye abantu bakhe abangamatshumi ayisithupha ababeficwe edolobheni.
Lawe aku la hoi oia mai ke kulanakauhale aku i kekahi luna i poaia, i hoonohoia maluna o na kanaka kaua, a i ehiku kanaka punahele o ke alii, na mea i loaa ma ke kulanakauhale; a i ke kakauolelo o ka lunakaua, nana i alakai i na kanaka o ka aina i ke kaua; a me na kanaka o ka aina he kanaono i loaa ma ke kulanakauhale.
26 UNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabathatha bonke wabasa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni eRibhila.
A lawe aku la o Nebuzaradana ka lunakoa ia lakou i ke alii o Babulona ma Ribela.
27 Khonale eRibhila, elizweni laseHamathi, inkosi yathi kabaqunywe. Ngakho abakoJuda baya ekuthunjweni kude lelizwe labo.
Pepehi aku la ke alii o Babulona ia lakou, a make lakou ia ia ma Ribela i ka aina o Hamata. A ua laweia aku la o ka Iuda mai ko lakou aina aku.
28 Nanka amanani abantu uNebhukhadineza abasa ekuthunjweni: ngomnyaka wesikhombisa, amaJuda azinkulungwane ezintathu lamatshumi amabili lantathu;
Oia na kanaka a Nebukaneza i lawe pio aku ai: i ka hiku o ka makahiki, ekolu tausani na Iudaio, a me ka iwakaluakumamakolu.
29 ngomnyaka kaNebhukhadineza wetshumi lasificaminwembili mibili, abantu beJerusalema abangamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye lamatshumi amathathu lambili;
I ka makahiki umikumamawalu o Nebukaneza, lawe pio aku la oia mai Ierusalema aku, i ewalu haneri me kanakolukumamalua kanaka.
30 ngomnyaka wakhe wamatshumi amabili lantathu, amaJuda angamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi amane lanhlanu asiwa ekuthunjweni nguNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi ekubusweni kwezizwe ezinengi. Bebonke kwakungabantu abazinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu ayisithupha.
I ka makahiki iwakaluakumamakolu o Nebukaneza, lawe pio aku la o Nebuzaradana ka lunakaua i ehiku haneri me kanahakumamalima kanaka o na Iudaio. A oia poe kanaka a pau, eha tausani lakou me na haneri keu eono.
31 Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa uJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda esekuthunjweni, ngomnyaka u-Evili-Merodakhi aba yinkosi yaseBhabhiloni ngawo, wakhulula uJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda, wamkhupha entolongweni ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lwenyanga yetshumi lambili.
A i ka makahiki kanakolukumamahiku, o ke pio ana o Iehoiakina, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka malama umikumamalua, i ka la iwakaluakumamalima o ka malama, o Evila Merodaka, ke alii o Babulona, i ka makahiki mua o kona noho aupuni ana, hapai ae la oia i ke poo o Iehoiakina, ke alii o ka Iuda, a lawe ae la ia ia iwaho o ka halepaahao.
32 Wakhuluma laye ngomusa, wamnika isihlalo esihloniphekayo esasingaphezu kwezamanye amakhosi ayelaye eBhabhiloni.
A olelo oluolu iho la oia ia ia, a hoonoho iho la i kona nohoalii maluna o ka nohoalii o na'lii e noho pu ana me ia ma Babulona.
33 Ngakho uJehoyakhini wakhupha izigqoko zakhe zasentolongweni, wadla lenkosi izikhathi zonke okwempilo yakhe yonke.
A no ka lole o ka halepaahao, haawi ae la oia i lole hou; a ai mau oia i ka ai imua ona, i na la a pau o kona ola ana.
34 Nsuku zonke inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yayinika uJehoyakhini isabelo esimisiweyo malanga wonke empilweni yakhe, kwaze kwafika ilanga lokufa kwakhe.
A o kana ai hoi, na ke alii o Babulona i haawi i ai mau nana, he puu no i kela la i keia la a hiki i ka la o kona make ana, i na la a pau o kona ola aua.
