UJeremiya 52
1 UZedekhiya wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanye esiba yinkosi, wabusa iminyaka elitshumi lanye eJerusalema; lebizo likanina lalinguHamuthali, indodakazi kaJeremiya weLibhina.
Zedekia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Hamutali mwarĩ wa Jeremia; nake oimĩte Libina.
2 Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, njengakho konke akwenzayo uJehoyakhimi.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehoiakimu eekĩte.
3 Ngoba ngenxa yokuthukuthela kweNkosi kwenzeka eJerusalema loJuda yaze yabaphosela khatshana lobuso bayo; uZedekhiya wasevukela inkosi yeBhabhiloni.
Na nĩ ũndũ wa marakara ma Jehova-rĩ, nĩkĩo maũndũ macio mothe meekĩkire kũu Jerusalemu na Juda, na mũthia-inĩ akĩmaingata mehere mbere yake. Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia akĩremera mũthamaki wa Babuloni, akĩaga gwathĩka.
4 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye wokubusa kwakhe, ngenyanga yetshumi, ngolwetshumi lwenyanga, uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni wafika, yena lebutho lakhe lonke, ukumelana leJerusalema; basebemisa inkamba bemelene layo, bayakhela izinqaba zokuvimbezela bemelene layo inhlangothi zonke.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwaka-inĩ wa kenda wa ũthamaki wa Zedekia, mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri wa ikũmi-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩthiĩ kũhũũrana na Jerusalemu arĩ na ita rĩake rĩothe, nao makĩamba hema nja ya itũũra rĩu inene, na magĩaka ihumbu cia tĩĩri mĩena yothe yarĩo cia kũmateithia gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu.
5 Ngokunjalo umuzi wangena ekuvinjezelweni kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wetshumi lanye wenkosi uZedekhiya.
Narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩgĩikara rĩrĩ irigiicĩrie nginya mwaka wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa ũthamaki wa Zedekia.
6 Ngenyanga yesine, ngolwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga, lapho indlala yayiqinile phakathi komuzi, abantu belizwe kababanga lokudla.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri wa kana, ngʼaragu ĩkĩneneha mũno kũu itũũra-inĩ, o nginya gũkĩaga irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ andũ a bũrũri ũcio.
7 Basebewufohlela umuzi; wonke amadoda empi asebaleka, aphuma emzini ebusuku, ngendlela yesango, phakathi kwemiduli emibili, elisesivandeni senkosi (amaKhaladiya ayemelene lomuzi inhlangothi zonke), ahamba ngendlela yegceke.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rũkĩmomorwo, nacio mbũtũ ciothe cia ita ikĩũra. Moimire itũũra-inĩ ũtukũ magereire kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ hakuhĩ na mũgũnda wa mũthamaki, o na gũtuĩka andũ a Babuloni nĩmarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu inene rĩothe. Nao makĩũra merekeire Araba,
8 Kodwa ibutho lamaKhaladiya laxotshana lenkosi, lafica uZedekhiya emagcekeni eJeriko; lebutho lakhe lonke lahlakazeka lisuka kuye.
no mbũtũ ya ita ya Babuloni ĩgĩtengʼeria Mũthamaki Zedekia nginya ĩkĩmũkinyĩra werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Jeriko. Thigari ciake ciothe ikĩamũranio nake ikĩhurunjwo.
9 Basebeyibamba inkosi, bayenyusela enkosini yeBhabhiloni eRibila elizweni leHamathi, eyakhuluma izigwebo kuyo.
Nayo mbũtũ ya ita ya Babuloni ĩkĩnyiita Mũthamaki Zedekia. Makĩmũtwara kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni ũrĩa warĩ kũu Ribila, bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, na kũu nĩkuo aamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
10 Inkosi yeBhabhiloni yasibulala amadodana kaZedekhiya emehlweni akhe, futhi yazibulala lazo zonke iziphathamandla zakoJuda eRibila.
Mũthamaki wa Babuloni arĩ kũu Ribila nĩoragithirie ariũ a Zedekia o hau maitho-inĩ ma ithe wao; agĩcooka akĩũragithia anene othe a Juda.
11 Yasiphumputhekisa amehlo kaZedekhiya, yambopha ngamaketane ethusi amabili, ukuze inkosi yeBhabhiloni imuse eBhabhiloni, yamfaka entolongweni, kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe.
Nĩacookire agĩkũũrithia Zedekia maitho, na akĩmuoha na bĩngũ cia gĩcango, akĩmũtwara Babuloni, na kũu akĩmũikia njeera nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
12 Njalo ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngolwetshumi lwenyanga (lo umnyaka wawungumnyaka wetshumi lesificamunwemunye wenkosi uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni), uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi, eyayimi phambi kwenkosi yeBhabhiloni, wangena eJerusalema.
Mũthenya wa ikũmi wa mweri wa ĩtano, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na kenda wa gũthamaka kwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni-rĩ, Nebuzaradani mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki wa Babuloni, ũrĩa watungataga mũthamaki wa Babuloni, agĩũka Jerusalemu,
13 Watshisa indlu kaJehova, lendlu yenkosi, lezindlu zonke zeJerusalema lezindlu zonke zabakhulu wazitshisa ngomlilo.
agĩcina hekarũ ya Jehova, na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o na nyũmba ciothe cia Jerusalemu. Ningĩ agĩcina nyũmba o yothe yarĩ ya bata kuo.
14 Lebutho lonke lamaKhaladiya, elalilenduna yabalindi, labhidliza yonke imiduli yeJerusalema inhlangothi zonke.
Nayo mbũtũ yothe ya ita ya Babuloni, ĩtongoretio nĩ mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, ĩkĩmomora thingo ciothe iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu.
15 UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wasethumba abathile kwabangabayanga babantu, lensali yabantu eyayisele emzini, lalabo ababehlamukile, ababehlamukele enkosini yeBhabhiloni, labaseleyo bexuku.
Nebuzaradani ũcio warĩ mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki nĩatahire andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno, na andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, hamwe na mabundi marĩa mangĩ, o na andũ arĩa metwarĩte o ene kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
16 Kodwa uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi watshiya abanye kwabangabayanga belizwe ukuthi babe ngabaphathi bezivini labalimi.
No Nebuzaradani nĩatigire andũ amwe arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno a bũrũri ũcio kuo, nĩguo marutage wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ ya mĩthabibũ na mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
17 Lensika zethusi ezazisendlini yeNkosi, lezisekelo, lolwandle lwethusi olwalusendlini yeNkosi, amaKhaladiya akuphahlaza, athwala lonke ithusi lakho alisa eBhabhiloni.
Andũ a Babuloni makiunanga itugĩ cia gĩcango, na metha cia kũigĩrĩrwo indo, na Karia karĩa kaarĩ ga gĩcango, iria ciarĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya Jehova, magĩkuua gĩcango kĩu gĩothe magĩgĩtwara Babuloni.
18 Athatha izimbiza, lamafotsholo, lezindlawu, lemiganu yokufafaza, lezinkezo, lazo zonke izitsha zethusi abakhonza ngazo,
Ningĩ magĩkuua nyũngũ, na icakũri, na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria maaĩ, na thaani, o na indo ciothe cia gĩcango iria ciahũthagĩrwo wĩra-inĩ wa hekarũ, magĩthiĩ nacio.
19 lemiganu, lezitsha zokuthwala umlilo, lemiganu yokufafaza, lezimbiza, lezinti zezibane, lezinkezo, lemiganu yomnikelo wokuthululwa; okwakuligolide golide lokwakuyisiliva siliva induna yabalindi yakuthatha.
Mũnene ũcio wa thigari cia mũthamaki nĩakuuire mbakũri iria nene, na Ngĩo, na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria maaĩ, na nyũngũ, na mĩtĩ ya matawa, na thaani, o na mbakũri iria ciahũthagĩrwo na kũruta maruta ma kũnyuuo, iria ciothe ciathondeketwo na thahabu ĩrĩa therie kana betha.
20 Insika zombili, ulwandle olulodwa, lenkabi zethusi ezazilitshumi lambili ezazingaphansi kwezisekelo inkosi uSolomoni eyayikwenzele indlu yeNkosi; ithusi lazo zonke lezizitsha lalingelakulinganiswa ngesisindo.
Gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarutirwo itugĩ-inĩ icio cierĩ, na Karia kau, na ndegwa iria ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia gĩcango iria ciarĩ rungu rwako, na metha, iria Mũthamaki Solomoni aathondekete cia hekarũ ya Jehova, gĩtingĩathimĩkire nĩ kũingĩha.
21 Mayelana lezinsika, ubude bensika eyodwa babuzingalo ezilitshumi lesificaminwembili, lentambo yezingalo ezilitshumi lambili yayigombolozela, lohlonzi lwayo lwaluyiminwe emine, yayilomwolo.
O gĩtugĩ kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ikũmi na ĩnana kũraiha, na mĩkono ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ gũthiũrũrũka; na o kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ na ũtungu wa ciara inya, na kĩarĩ na irima gatagatĩ.
22 Lesiduku esiphezu kwayo sasilithusi, lobude besiduku esisodwa babuzingalo ezinhlanu, lembule, lamapomegranati phezu kwesiduku inhlangothi zonke; konke kwakulithusi. Lensika yesibili yayilokufanana lalezi, lamapomegranati.
Kĩongo gĩa gĩcango kĩrĩa kĩarĩ hau gĩtugĩ-igũrũ, o kĩmwe kĩarĩ kĩa mĩkono ĩtano kũraiha, na gĩkagemio na rũgara rũrĩ na makomamanga ma gĩcango gũthiũrũrũkĩria. Gĩtugĩ kĩu kĩngĩ gĩa keerĩ, kĩrĩ na makomamanga makĩo nĩkĩahaanaine biũ na kĩu kĩngĩ kĩa mbere.
23 Njalo kwakulamapomegranati angamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesithupha eceleni; wonke amapomegranati ayelikhulu phezu kwembule inhlangothi zonke.
Na haarĩ na makomamanga mĩrongo kenda na matandatũ maacuuhĩte mĩena-inĩ; makomamanga mothe marĩa maathiũrũrũkĩirie igũrũ wa magemio macio ma rũgara maarĩ igana rĩmwe.
24 Induna yabalindi yasithatha uSeraya umpristi oyinhloko, loZefaniya umpristi owesibili, labalindi bombundu labo bobathathu.
Mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri nĩanyiitire Seraia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na Zefania mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa wa keerĩ harĩ we, o na andũ arĩa atatũ maarangagĩra mũrango.
25 Yasithatha emzini umthenwa othile owayengumphathi phezu kwamadoda empi, lamadoda ayisikhombisa kulabo ababona ubuso benkosi, atholakala emzini, lomabhalane wenduna yebutho eyayibuthela abantu belizwe emabuthweni, lamadoda angamatshumi ayisithupha abantu belizwe, ayetholakala phakathi komuzi.
Harĩ andũ arĩa maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ inene, akĩnyiita mũnene ũrĩa warũgamĩrĩire andũ a mbaara, na akĩnyiita andũ mũgwanja arĩa maataaraga mũthamaki. Ningĩ akĩnyiita karani ũrĩa mũnene, ũrĩa wandĩkithagia andũ a gũthiĩ ita a bũrũri ũcio, na andũ ake mĩrongo ĩtandatũ arĩa maakorirwo itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene.
26 UNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wasebathatha, wabasa enkosini yeBhabhiloni eRibila.
Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmakuua othe, akĩmatwarĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni kũu Ribila.
27 Inkosi yeBhabhiloni yasibatshaya, yababulalela eRibila elizweni leHamathi. Ngokunjalo uJuda wathunjwa esuswa elizweni lakhe.
Kũu Ribila, bũrũri-inĩ wa Hamathu, nĩkuo mũthamaki ũcio wa Babuloni aamoragithĩirie. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Juda magĩtahwo, magĩtwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ, makĩrutwo bũrũri wao.
28 Laba ngabantu uNebhukadirezari abathumbayo: Ngomnyaka wesikhombisa, amaJuda azinkulungwane ezintathu lamatshumi amabili lantathu;
Ũyũ nĩguo mũigana wa andũ arĩa Nebukadinezaru aatahire akĩmatwara bũrũri ũngĩ: mwaka-inĩ wa mũgwanja aatahire Ayahudi 3,023;
29 ngomnyaka wetshumi lesificaminwembili kaNebhukadirezari, kwasuka eJerusalema imiphefumulo engamakhulu ayisificaminwembili lamatshumi amathathu lambili;
naguo mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa ũthamaki wa Nebukadinezaru, agĩtaha andũ 832 kuuma Jerusalemu;
30 ngomnyaka wamatshumi amabili lantathu kaNebhukadirezari, uNebuzaradani induna yabalindi wathumba amaJuda, imiphefumulo engamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi amane lanhlanu; yonke imiphefumulo yayizinkulungwane ezine lamakhulu ayisithupha.
o naguo mwaka-inĩ wake wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ, agĩtaha Ayahudi 745 magĩtwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ nĩ Nebuzaradani ũcio mwathi wa arangĩri a mũthamaki. Andũ acio othe maarĩ 4,600.
31 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda, ngenyanga yetshumi lambili ngolwamatshumi amabili lanhlanu lwenyanga, uEvili-Merodaki inkosi yeBhabhiloni, ngomnyaka wokuqala wokubusa kwakhe, waphakamisa ikhanda likaJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda, wamkhupha entolongweni,
Na gũgĩkinya atĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mũgwanja kuuma rĩrĩa Jekonia, mũthamaki wa Juda, aatwarirwo bũrũri ũngĩ, mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa Evili-Merodaki aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Babuloni-rĩ, nĩohorithirie Jekonia mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩmũrekereria oime njeera mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano wa mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
32 wasekhuluma kuhle laye, wabeka isihlalo sakhe sobukhosi phezu kwesihlalo sobukhosi samakhosi ayelaye eBhabhiloni.
Nĩamwarĩirie na ũhooreri, na akĩmũhe gĩtĩ gĩa kũmũtũgĩria gũkĩra athamaki acio angĩ maarĩ nao kũu Babuloni.
33 Wasentshintsha izigqoko zokubotshwa kwakhe; njalo wadla isinkwa phambi kwayo njalonjalo insuku zonke zempilo yakhe.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jekonia akĩruta nguo ciake cia njeera, na agĩtũũra arĩĩanagĩra irio na mũthamaki matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo.
34 Mayelana lesabelo sakhe, isabelo esimiyo wasinikwa yinkosi yeBhabhiloni, into yosuku ngosuku lwayo, kwaze kwaba lusuku lokufa kwakhe, zonke insuku zempilo yakhe.
Mũthamaki ũcio wa Babuloni nĩaheaga Jekonia indo cia kũmũteithia o mũthenya matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo, nginya mũthenya ũrĩa aakuire.
