Yeremia 52

1 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.

Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2 Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛnea Yehoiakim yɛe no.

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 Awurade abufuw nti na eyinom nyinaa baa Yerusalem ne Yuda so, na akyiri no, oyii nʼani fii wɔn so. Afei, Sedekia sɔre tiaa Babiloniahene.

For, through the anger of Jehovah, it was so with Judah and Jerusalem that at length he cast them forth from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4 Ɔsram Tebet (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛpɔn) da a ɛto so dunum wɔ Sedekia ahenni mfe akron so no, ɔhene Nebukadnessar dii nʼakofo nyinaa anim, bɛko tiaa Yerusalem. Wotwaa kuropɔn no ho hyiae. Wɔbobɔɔ mpampim wɔ kuropɔn no afasu ho.

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, and built forts against it round about.

5 Wotuaa kuropɔn no kosii Ɔhene Sedekia adedi afe a ɛto so dubaako no mu.

And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

6 Eduu ɔsram a ɛto so anan no da a ɛto so akron no, na ɔkɔm a asi kuropɔn no mu no ano ayɛ den a mu nnipa no nnya aduan nni.

And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

7 Na wɔpaee kuropɔn no fasu mu, na asraafo no nyinaa guanee. Wɔfaa ɔhene turo mu fii kuropɔn no mu anadwo, kɔfaa ɔpon a ɛwɔ afasu abien no ntam, de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Araba.

And the city was broken into; and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which is by the king's garden, (whilst the Chaldaeans were by the city round about, ) and they went toward the plain.

8 Nanso Babilonia asraafo no taa Ɔhene Sedekia kɔtoo no wɔ Yeriko tataw so. Na nʼasraafo no nyinaa afi ne ho abɔ ahwete,

But the army of the Chaldaeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

9 na wɔkyeree no. Wɔfaa no dommum de no kɔmaa Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat asase so, na hɔ na obuu no atɛn.

And they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon, to Riblah, in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.

10 Ribla hɔ na Babiloniahene kunkum Sedekia mmabarima wɔ nʼanim na okum Yudafo adwumayɛfo nyinaa nso.

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He slew also all the princes or Judah, in Riblah.

11 Afei otutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere mfrafrae mpokyerɛ guu no sɛ ɔde no rekɔ Babilonia, hɔ na ɔde no too afiase kosii ne wuda.

And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in chains; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

12 Ab ɔsram (bɛyɛ Ɔsannaa) da ɛto so dunan wɔ afe a ɛyɛ Nebukadnessar mfe dunkron adedi mu no, Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfo so panyin a ɔyɛ Babiloniahene mpanyimfo no mu baako no kɔɔ Yerusalem.

And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, (it was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ) came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, one that stood in the presence of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.

13 Ɔde ogya too Awurade asɔredan, ahemfi ne afi a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa mu. Ɔhyew ofi biara a edi mu.

And he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house; and all the houses at Jerusalem, all the great houses, burned he with fire.

14 Awɛmfo so panyin no hwɛ maa Babilonia asraafo no bubuu Yerusalem afasu no.

And all the army of the Chaldaeans that was with the captain of the guard brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

15 Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a na otua awɛmfo no ano no faa wɔn a wodi hia no mu bi, wɔn a wɔkaa kuropɔn no mu, adwumfo a wɔaka ne wɔn a wɔkɔdɔm Babiloniahene no kɔɔ nnommum mu.

And some of the poor of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had gone over to the king of Babylon, even the remainder of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, carry away captive.

16 Nanso Nebusaradan gyaa wɔn a wodi hia wɔ asase no so no nkae sɛ wɔnhwɛ bobe nturo ne mfuw no.

But some of the poor of the land did Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, leave for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.

17 Babiloniafo no bubuu kɔbere mfrafrae afadum, nnyinasode a wotumi moma so ne kɔbere mfrafrae Po a na ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan mu, na wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae no nyinaa kɔɔ Babilonia.

And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldaeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

18 Afei wɔfaa nkuku, nsofi, kanea ntamabamma ntwitwaso, ɔpete nkuruwa, nsanka, mprɛte ne kɔbere mfrafrae nneɛma a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma wɔ asɔredan mu no nso kɔe.

The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass which were used in ministering, did they take away.

19 Ɔhene awɛmfo sahene no faa nkankyee, nkankyee ntrantraa, ɔpete nkuruwa, nkuku, kaneannua, nsanka, mprɛte ne nkuruwa a wɔde di ɔnom afɔrebɔ ho dwuma no kɔe; wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa anaa dwetɛ na ɛyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa.

And the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, and whatever was of gold or silver, did the captain of the guard take away.

20 Kɔbere mfrafrae a wɔde yɛɛ afadum abien no, Po no ne anantwinini dumien a ɛwɔ nʼase ne nnyinaso a wɔmema so, na wontumi nkari saa nneɛma a Ɔhene Salomo yɛɛ wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu yi mu duru.

The two pillars, the sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon made in the house of Jehovah, the brass from all these was beyond weight.

21 Na afadum no biara sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu ason na ne dantaban mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Emu da tokuru na ne hankare no mu piw yɛ nsateaa anan.

For as to the pillars, eighteen cubits in height was the one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured it round, and their thickness was four fingers, being hollow.

22 Na kɔbere mfrafrae ntaaso a esi ɔfadum baako so no sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn ason ne fa a, wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae atoaa ahyehyɛ ho nyinaa ahyia. Afadum a aka no nso a wɔde kɔbere mfrafrae atoaa ahyehyɛ ho no te sɛ baako no.

And a chapiter of brass was upon them; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits; and there was network with pomegranates upon the chapiter all round, the whole of brass. The second pillar also, and the pomegranates, were like unto these.

23 Na Kɔbere mfrafrae atoaa aba a ɛsensɛn ntaaso no ano no yɛ aduɔkron asia, na nea ɛkata ntaaso no ho yɛ ɔha.

And the pomegranates were ninety and six toward every wind; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about.

24 Awɛmfo no sahene no faa ɔsɔfopanyin Seraia, abediakyiri Sefania ne ɔponanoahwɛfo baasa no nnommum.

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;

25 Ɔfaa ɔpanyin a otua asraafo no ano, ne adehye afotufo baason fii nnipa a na wɔda so wɔ kuropɔn no mu no mu. Afei ɔfaa ɔkyerɛwfo a na ɔyɛ adwumayɛfo panyin ma wɔn a wɔfa nnipa ma wɔkɔyɛ asraafo wɔ asase no so, ne nʼadwumayɛfo no mu aduosia a ohuu wɔn wɔ kuropɔn no mu no.

and out of the city he took a eunuch who had charge over the men of war, and seven men of those that were near the king's person, who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city;

26 Ɔsahene Nebusaradan de wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Babiloniahene anim wɔ Ribla.

these, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, took, and brought to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

27 Ɔhene no ma wokunkum wɔn wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat. Enti wotwaa Yuda asu fii nʼasase so.

And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus was Judah carried away captive out of their own land.

28 Nnipa dodow a Nebukadnessar de wɔn kɔɔ nkoasom mu ni: nʼahenni afe a ɛto so ason mu, Yudafo 3,023;

This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews;

29 Nebukadnessar ahenni afe a ɛto so dunwɔtwe mu, nnipa a wofi Yerusalem, 832;

in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

30 nʼahenni afe a ɛto so aduonu abiɛsa mu, ɔsahene Nebusaradan, a otua ɔhene awɛmfo ano no de Yudafo 745 kɔɔ nnommum mu. Nnipa no nyinaa dodow yɛ 4,600.

in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons. All the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

31 Yudahene Yehoiakyin nnommumfa afe a ɛto so aduasa ason mu a Ewil-Merodak bɛyɛɛ Babiloniahene no, oyii Yudahene Yehoiakyin fii afiase wɔ ɔsram a ɛto so dumien no da a ɛto so aduonu anum.

And it came to pass in the thirty and seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-merodach, the king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,

32 Ɔkaa abodwosɛm kyerɛɛ no, na ɔmaa no dibea a ɛwɔ anuonyam sen ahemfo a wɔne no wɔ Babilonia no de.

and spoke kindly to him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon,

33 Enti Yehoiakin yii nʼafiase ntade guu nkyɛn, na efi saa da no odidii wɔ ɔhene didipon so bere biara, kosii ne wuda.

and changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him all the days of his life.

34 Na Babiloniahene no san maa Yehoiakin sika bere ano bere ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka, kosii ne wuda.

And a constant allowance was given him by the king of Babylon, a portion every day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
