Ermiyaas 52
1 Zedeqiyaa yeroo mootii taʼetti nama umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii tokkoo ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha tokko bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Hamuutaal ture; isheenis intala Ermiyaas kan magaalaa Libnaatii dhufte turte.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
2 Innis akkuma Yehooyaaqiim hojjete sana, fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa ni hojjete.
And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
3 Wanni kun hundi sababii dheekkamsa Waaqayyootiif Yerusaalemii fi Yihuudaa irra gaʼe; dhuma irrattis inni fuula isaa duraa isaan balleesse. Zedeqiyaa mooticha Baabilonitti fincile.
For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4 Bara mootummaa Zedeqiyaa keessa waggaa saglaffaatti, bultii kurnaffaa jiʼa kurnaffaatti Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon guutummaa loltoota isaa wajjin Yerusaalemitti duule; isaanis magaalattiin ala qubatanii naannoo ishee hundatti tuullaa biyyoo marsan.
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
5 Magaalaan sunis hamma waggaa kudha tokkoffaa bara Zedeqiyaa Mootichaatti akkuma marfamtetti turte.
And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
6 Bultii saglaffaa jiʼa afuraffaatti, magaalattii keessatti beelli akka malee hammaatee namni waan nyaatu tokko illee dhabe.
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
7 Ergasii dallaan magaalattii cabsamee loltoonni hundinuus baʼanii baqatan. Isaanis utuma Baabilononni magaalaa sana marsanii jiranuu karaa karra dallaa iddoo biqiltuu mootichaa bira jiru lamaan gidduu baasu sanaatiin halkaniin baʼanii baqatan. Isaanis Arabbaatti baqatan;
Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
8 loltoonni Baabilon garuu Zedeqiyaa Mooticha ariʼanii dirree Yerikoo irratti isa qaqqaban; loltoonni isaa hundis isa irraa gargar baʼanii bibittinnaaʼanii turan;
but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
9 innis ni qabame. Gara mootii Baabilonitti Riiblaa biyya Hamaati keessaatti geeffame. Achittis itti murame.
The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on Zedekiah.
10 Mootiin Baabilonis Riiblaatti ijuma isaa duratti ilmaan Zedeqiyaa gorraʼe; qondaaltota Yihuudaa hundas fixe.
There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the officials of Judah.
11 Innis ergasii Zedeqiyaa keessaa ija isaa baasee foncaa naasiitiin hidhee Baabilonitti isa geesse; hamma gaafa inni duʼuuttis manuma hidhaa keessa isa tursiise.
Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon, where he kept him in custody until his dying day.
12 Bara mootummaa Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon keessa waggaa kudha saglaffaatti, bultii kurnaffaa jiʼa shanaffaatti Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsa mootummaa inni mootii Baabilon tajaajilu sun gara Yerusaalem dhufe.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
13 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti, masaraa mootummaattii fi manneen Yerusaalem hundatti ibidda qabsiise; manneen gurguddaa hundas ni gube.
He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
14 Loltoonni Baabilon kanneen ajajaa eegumsa mootummaa jala turan hundi dallaawwan naannoo Yerusaalem turan hunda diigan.
And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.
15 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun namoota hiyyeeyyii tokko tokkoo fi warra magaalaa keessatti hafan, warra ogummaa harkaa qabanii fi warra baqatanii mootii Baabilonitti kooluu galan boojiʼee fudhate.
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile some of the poorest people and those who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the craftsmen.
16 Nebuzaradaan garuu hiyyeeyyii biyyattii warra hafan akka wayinii kunuunsanii fi lafa qotaniif achitti dhiise.
But Nebuzaradan captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
17 Baabilononni sun utubaawwan naasii, baattuuwwan iddoodhaa sochoʼanii fi Gaanii naasii irraa hojjetamee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa ture caccabsanii naasii sana hunda immoo Baabilonitti geessan.
Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried all the bronze to Babylon.
18 Akkasumas okkoteewwan, waan ittiin daaraa hammaaran, waan ittiin ibsaa irraa daaraa dhadhaʼan, waciitiiwwan ittiin dhiiga facaasan, caabiiwwanii fi miʼoota naasii irraa hojjetaman kanneen tajaajila mana qulqullummaatiif oolan hunda fudhatan.
They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
19 Ajajaan eegumsaa sunis miʼoota warqee qulqulluu fi meetii irraa hojjetaman hunda jechuunis caabii dhooqaa, girgiraawwan, waciitiiwwan ittiin dhiiga facaasan, okkoteewwan, baattuuwwan ibsaa, caabiiwwanii fi waciitiiwwan ittiin dhibaafatan fudhatee deeme.
The captain of the guard also took away the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, pans, and drink offering bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
20 Ulfinni naasii kan Solomoon Mootichi ittiin utubaawwan lamaan, Gaanii fi jiboota kudha lamaan isa jala jiranii fi baattuuwwan iddoodhaa sochoʼaniin mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootiif hojjetee ture waan madaalliin madaaluu dandaʼuu oli turan.
As for the two pillars, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable stands that King Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
21 Tokkoon tokkoon utubaa sanaa dhundhuma kudha saddeet ol dheeratee marsaan isaa immoo dhundhuma kudha lama ture; yabbinni isaa quba afur taʼee keessi isaas banaa ture.
Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits in circumference; each was hollow, four fingers thick.
22 Guutuun naasii kan utubaa tokko irraas dhundhuma shan ol dheeratee naannoon isaa guutuun sibiila wal keessa loofamee tolfamee fi roomaanii naasiitiin miidhagfamee ture. Utubaan kaanis roomaanii naasii wajjin kanuma fakkaata ture.
The bronze capital atop one pillar was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its pomegranates, was similar.
23 Roomaanoonni bitaa mirgaan turan sagaltamii sagal turan; walumatti faaya naannoo utubichaa gubbaan jiru wajjin roomanoota dhibba tokkootu ture.
Each capital had ninety-six pomegranates on the sides, and a total of a hundred pomegranates were above the surrounding network.
24 Ajajaan eegumsaa sun Seraayaa lubicha hangafa, Sefaaniyaa lubicha Sadarkaan isatti aanuu fi eegdota balbalaa sadan hidhee fuudhee deeme.
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
25 Warra amma illee magaalaa keessatti hafan keessaa ajajaa loltootaatii fi gorsitoota mootii torba fudhate. Akkasumas barreessaa qondaala ol aanaa ture kan saba keessaa loltummaaf namoota filatu sanaa fi namoota magaalaa keessatti argaman jaatama fudhate.
Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as seven trusted royal advisers. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
26 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan sun hunda isaanii guuree Riiblaatti gara mooticha Baabilonitti geesse.
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Mootichis achuma Riiblaat biyya Hamaati keessatti isaan ni fixe. Yihuudaanis akkasiin boojiʼamee biyya isheetii baate.
There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
28 Baayʼinni namoota Nebukadnezar boojuudhaan fudhatee kanaa dha: Waggaa torbaffaa keessa Yihuudoota 3,023;
These are the people Nebuchadnezzar carried away: in the seventh year, 3,023 Jews;
29 bara Nebukadnezar keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti, Yerusaalemii namoota 832;
in Nebuchadnezzar’s eighteenth year, 832 people from Jerusalem;
30 waggaa digdamii sadaffaa isaa keessa Yihuudoonni 745, Nebuzaradaan ajajaa eegumsaa sanaan boojuudhaan fudhataman. Isaanis walumatti namoota 4,600 turan.
in Nebuchadnezzar’s twenty-third year, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away 745 Jews. So in all, 4,600 people were taken away.
31 Yehooyaakiin mootiin Yihuudaa boojiʼamee waggaa soddomii torbaffaa isaatti, Eewiil Marodaak mootii Baabilon taʼe; innis wagguma sana keessa bultii digdamii shanaffaa jiʼa kudha lammaffaatti Yehooyaakiin mooticha Yihuudaa sana mana hidhaatii gad dhiisee bilisa isa baase.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the first year of the reign of Evil-merodach king of Babylon, he pardoned Jehoiachin king of Judah and released him from prison.
32 Afaan tolaadhaanis isatti dubbatee barcuma ulfinaa kan barcuma mootota isa wajjin Baabilon keessa turan kaanii caalu kenneef.
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
33 Kanaafuu Yehooyaakiin uffata isaa kan mana hidhaatti uffachaa ture sana of irraa baasee bara jireenya isaa guutuu yeroo hunda maaddii mootichaa irraa nyaate.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
34 Mootiin Baabilonis hamma inni lubbuudhaan jiraatetti guyyuma guyyaadhaan waan isaaf barbaachisu Yehooyaakiiniif kennaa ture.
And the king of Babylon provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life, until the day of his death.
