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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
2 Innis akkuma Yehooyaaqiim hojjete sana, fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa ni hojjete.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, 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.
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah 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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
5 Magaalaan sunis hamma waggaa kudha tokkoffaa bara Zedeqiyaa Mootichaatti akkuma marfamtetti turte.
The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
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 bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
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 wall was broken through, and all the soldiers ran away, escaping at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They went in the direction of 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 Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left him.
9 innis ni qabame. Gara mootii Baabilonitti Riiblaa biyya Hamaati keessaatti geeffame. Achittis itti murame.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he sentenced him.
10 Mootiin Baabilonis Riiblaatti ijuma isaa duratti ilmaan Zedeqiyaa gorraʼe; qondaaltota Yihuudaa hundas fixe.
The king of Babylon slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and also killed the officials of Judah there at Riblah.
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 gouged out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in bronze shackles. The king of Babylon took him to Babylon and imprisoned him there until the day he died.
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, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer 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 Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
14 Loltoonni Baabilon kanneen ajajaa eegumsa mootummaa jala turan hundi dallaawwan naannoo Yerusaalem turan hunda diigan.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked 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.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported some of the poor people and those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as the rest of the craftsmen.
16 Nebuzaradaan garuu hiyyeeyyii biyyattii warra hafan akka wayinii kunuunsanii fi lafa qotaniif achitti dhiise.
But Nebuzaradan allowed others of the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the 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.
The Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took 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 all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, sprinkling bowls, and all the other bronze items 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 commander of the guard removed the basins, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, lampstands, dishes and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or 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.
The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea, the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
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 column was eighteen cubits tall and twelve cubits around. They were hollow with walls 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 on top of one column was five cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
23 Roomaanoonni bitaa mirgaan turan sagaltamii sagal turan; walumatti faaya naannoo utubichaa gubbaan jiru wajjin roomanoota dhibba tokkootu ture.
There were ninety-six bronze pomegranates around each column. Above the network were a total of one hundred pomegranates.
24 Ajajaan eegumsaa sun Seraayaa lubicha hangafa, Sefaaniyaa lubicha Sadarkaan isatti aanuu fi eegdota balbalaa sadan hidhee fuudhee deeme.
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple 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.
From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and seven of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
26 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan sun hunda isaanii guuree Riiblaatti gara mooticha Baabilonitti geesse.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before the king of Babylon at Riblah.
27 Mootichis achuma Riiblaat biyya Hamaati keessatti isaan ni fixe. Yihuudaanis akkasiin boojiʼamee biyya isheetii baate.
The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their land.
28 Baayʼinni namoota Nebukadnezar boojuudhaan fudhatee kanaa dha: Waggaa torbaffaa keessa Yihuudoota 3,023;
This is a record of the number of people Nebuchadnezzar took into exile. In the seventh year of his reign he took 3,023 Judeans.
29 bara Nebukadnezar keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti, Yerusaalemii namoota 832;
In his eighteenth year Nebuchadnezzar took another 832 from Jerusalem.
30 waggaa digdamii sadaffaa isaa keessa Yihuudoonni 745, Nebuzaradaan ajajaa eegumsaa sanaan boojuudhaan fudhataman. Isaanis walumatti namoota 4,600 turan.
In his twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took another 745 Judeans, making a total of 4,600.
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.
In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
32 Afaan tolaadhaanis isatti dubbatee barcuma ulfinaa kan barcuma mootota isa wajjin Baabilon keessa turan kaanii caalu kenneef.
The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there 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 was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently 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.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life until he died.
