2 Ahemfo 25
1 Ɔbosome Tebet (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛpɔn) da a ɛtɔ so dunum wɔ Sedekia ahennie mfeɛ nkron so no, ɔhene Nebukadnessar dii nʼakodɔm nyinaa anim, bɛko tiaa Yerusalem. Wɔtwaa kuropɔn no ho hyiaeɛ. Wɔbobɔɔ mpampim wɔ kuropɔn no afasuo ho.
Ngomnyaka wesificamunwemunye wokubusa kukaZedekhiya, ngosuku lwetshumi lwenyanga yetshumi, uNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni waya eJerusalema lebutho lakhe lonke, wayivimbezela; wayakhela imiduli yokuvimbezela inxa zonke.
2 Wɔkaa Yerusalem hyɛɛ kɔsii ɔhene Sedekia ahennie no mfeɛ dubaako so.
Idolobho lavinjezelwa kwaze kwaba ngumnyaka wetshumi lanye kaZedekhiya inkosi.
3 Ɛduruu Tammus bosome (bɛyɛ Kitawonsa) da a ɛtɔ so dunwɔtwe no, Sedekia ahennie mfeɛ dubaako mu no, na ɛkɔm a aba kuropɔn no mu no ano ayɛ den yie, ama wɔn aduane a aka no nyinaa asa.
Ngosuku lwesificamunwemunye lwenyanga yesine indlala yayisinzima edolobheni, abantu bengaselakudla.
4 Na kuropɔn no ɔfasuo fa bi abu agu fam enti, asraafoɔ no nyinaa yɛɛ adwene sɛ, wɔbɛdwane afiri kuropɔn no mu. Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ na Babiloniafoɔ atwa kuropɔn no ho ahyia enti, wɔtwɛn kɔsii anadwo, na wɔdwane faa ɛpono a ɛda afasuo mmienu a ɛwɔ ɔhene no nturo no mu mu. Wɔyɛɛ ntɛm faa wiramkwan de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Yordan bɔnhwa no.
Umduli wedolobho wafohlwa, ibutho lonke labaleka. Basuka edolobheni bephuma ngesango eliphakathi kwemiduli emibili, phansi kwesivande senkosi, lanxa nje amaBhabhiloni ayeligombolozele idolobho. Babaleka beqonde e-Arabha.
5 Nanso, Babiloniafoɔ no tii wɔn, kɔkyeree ɔhene no wɔ Yeriko tata so, ɛfiri sɛ, saa ɛberɛ no, na ne mmarima no nyinaa adwane agya no.
Kodwa ibutho lamaKhaladiya laxotshana lenkosi layamfica emagcekeni aseJerikho. Wonke amabutho akhe ehlukana laye njalo ahlakazeka,
6 Wɔde no brɛɛ Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla, ma wɔbuu no atɛn.
yena wathunjwa. Wasiwa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni eRibhila, lapho afika wagwetshelwa khona.
7 Babiloniahene maa Sedekia de nʼani kann hwɛɛ sɛ, wɔrekunkum ne mmammarima nyinaa. Afei, wɔtutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guu no, na wɔde no kɔɔ Babilonia.
Babulala amadodana kaZedekhiya ekhangele. Basebemkhupha amehlo, bambopha ngamaketane ethusi bamusa eBhabhiloni.
8 Ab bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔsannaa) ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan wɔ afe a ɛyɛ Nebukadnessar mfeɛ dunkron adedie mu no, Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfoɔ so panin a ɔyɛ Babiloniahene mpanimfoɔ nu mu baako no kɔɔ Yerusalem.
Ngosuku lwesikhombisa ngenyanga yesihlanu, ngomnyaka wetshumi lasificamunwemunye kaNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, uNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi besikhosini, owayesebenzela inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, wafika eJerusalema.
9 Ɔhyee Awurade Asɔredan ne ahemfie ne afie a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa. Adan pa a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu no, ɔsɛee ne nyinaa.
Wathungela ithempeli likaThixo ngomlilo, lesigodlo senkosi lezindlu zonke zaseJerusalema. Zonke izindlu eziqakathekileyo wazitshisa.
10 Awɛmfoɔ so panin no hwɛ maa Babilonia akodɔm no bubuu Yerusalem afasuo no.
Wonke amabutho aseBhabhiloni, ekhokhelwa ngumlawuli wamabutho okulinda umndlunkulu, adiliza imiduli ehonqolozele iJerusalema.
11 Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfoɔ so panin no kyekyeree wɔn a wɔkaa kuropɔn no mu no, twaa wɔn ne nnipa a aka no ne akodɔm a wɔdaa wɔn ho adi sɛ wɔtaa Babiloniahene akyi no asuo.
UNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabalindi wathatha bonke abantu ababesele edolobheni wabasa ekuthunjweni, ndawonye labo bonke abantu lalabo abasebeye enkosini yaseBhabhiloni.
12 Na awɛmfoɔ so panin no maa mmɔborɔfoɔ no mu bi tenaa Yuda, sɛ wɔnhwɛ bobe mfuo ne mfuo foforɔ a ɛka ho no so.
Kodwa umlawuli wamabutho watshiya inengi labantu ababengabayanga bokucina elizweni ukuba basebenze ezivinini lasemasimini.
13 Babiloniafoɔ no bubuu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afadum, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nsuo nteaseɛnam ne Po a na ɛwɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu hɔ no, na wɔsoaa ne nyinaa kɔɔ Babilonia.
AbeBhabhiloni baphahlaza izinsika zethusi lezinti zezibane loLwandle lwethusi, okwakusethempelini likaThixo. Bathwalela ithusi lelo eBhabhiloni.
14 Wɔtasee nkukuo, sofi, nkanea akapɛ, nyowaa ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nneɛma ahodoɔ a wɔde di wɔn afɔrebɔ ho dwuma wɔ Asɔredan no mu no nyinaa.
Bathatha njalo imbiza, lamafotsholo, lezindlawu, lezinditshi lazozonke izitsha zethusi ezazisetshenziswa enkonzweni yasethempelini.
15 Nebusaradan a ɔyɛ awɛmfoɔ so panin no sane tasee nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu ne nhweaseammɔ ne nkuku ne nkaka nkaeɛ a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ne dwetɛ ayɛ no nyinaa.
Umlawuli wabalindi besigodlo wathatha indengezi lemiganu yokuchela, konke okwakwenziwe ngegolide elicengekileyo loba isiliva.
16 Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔnya firii afadum mmienu, nsuo teaseɛnam ne Ɛpo no mu no, na emu yɛ duru dodo sɛ wɔbɛtumi akari. Ɔhene Salomo berɛ so na ɔyɛɛ saa nneɛma yi guu Awurade Asɔredan mu.
Ithusi elalivela ensikeni ezimbili, loLwandle kanye lelezidindi ezisusekayo, konke okwakwenzelwe ithempeli likaThixo nguSolomoni, kwakulesisindo esasingelinganiswe.
17 Na afadum no mu biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu nson. Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ no ntaasoɔ a ɛdeda afadum no mu biara so no ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa a wɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ no ara bi a ɛyɛ atena sɛso ne ateaa aba sɛso atwa ho nyinaa ahyia de asiesie no.
Ubude bensika ngayinye babuzingalo ezilitshumi lasificaminwembili. Isiduku sethusi phezu kwenye insika sasizingalo ezintathu ubude baso njalo siceciswe ngomeluko lamaphomegranathi ethusi nxazonke. Eyinye insika kanye lomeluko wayo layo yayinjalo.
18 Awɛmfoɔ so panin no kyekyeree ɔsɔfopanin Seraia, nʼabadiakyire Sefania ne apono ano sohwɛfoɔ mpanimfoɔ baasa sɛ nneduafoɔ.
Umlawuli wabalindi wathumba uSeraya induna yabaphristi, loZefaniya umsekeli wakhe kanye labalindi bomnyango abathathu.
19 Nnipa a na wɔakɔtetɛ no mu nso, ɔkyeree Yuda asraadɔm no mu panin baako, ɔhene no ankasa afotufoɔ baanum, asraadɔm sahene no twerɛfoɔ panin a na ɔfa nnipa wɔ adwuma mu ne ɔmanfoɔ aduosia.
Kulabo ababelokhu besedolobheni, wathatha isikhulu esasiphethe amadoda okulwa labacebisi besikhosini abahlanu. Wathatha lonobhala owayeyinduna eyayiphethe ukubuthwa kwabantu bengeniswa emabuthweni kanye lamadoda angamatshumi ayisithupha ayelawo atholakala phakathi komuzi.
20 Ɔsahene Nebusaradan de wɔn nyinaa kɔɔ Babiloniahene anim wɔ Ribla.
UNebhuzaradani umlawuli wabathatha bonke wabasa enkosini yaseBhabhiloni eRibhila.
21 Wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat hɔ no, ɔhene no ma wɔkunkum wɔn. Enti wɔtwaa Yuda asuo firii nʼasase so.
Khonale eRibhila, elizweni laseHamathi, inkosi yathi kabaqunywe. Ngakho abakoJuda baya ekuthunjweni kude lelizwe labo.
22 Ɔhene Nebukadnessar yii Ahikam babarima Gedalia a na ɔyɛ Safan nana no sɛ amrado a na ɔhwɛ nnipa a wɔkaa Yuda no so.
UNebhukhadineza inkosi yaseBhabhiloni wakhetha uGedaliya indodana ka-Ahikhami, oyindodana kaShafani, ukuba aphathe abantu ababesele koJuda.
23 Ɛberɛ a asraadɔm asahene ne wɔn mmarima tee sɛ Babiloniahene asi Gedalia amrado no, wɔkɔkaa ne ho wɔ Mispa. Nnipa a wɔkɔkaa ne ho no ne Netania babarima Ismael, Karea babarima Yohanan, Tanhumet a ɔfiri Netofa babarima Seraia ne Maakatni babarima Yaasania ne wɔn mmarima nyinaa.
Kwathi zonke izikhulu zabalawuli bamabutho lamabutho sebezwile ukuthi inkosi yaseBhabhiloni yayisibeke uGedaliya ukuba nguSibalukhulu, beza kuGedaliya eMizipha izikhulu kungu-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya, uJohanani indodana kaKhareya, uSeraya indodana kaThanihumethi umNethofa, uJazaniya indodana kaMahakhathi, labantu babo.
24 Gedalia dii nse, kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, Babilonia mpanimfoɔ no amma hɔ ɔhaw so. Ɔtuu wɔn fo sɛ, “Monnsuro sɛ mobɛsom Babiloniafoɔ. Montena asase no so na monsom Babiloniahene, na ɛbɛsi mo yie.”
UGedaliya wafunga isifungo ebathembisa labantu babo wathi: “Lingesabi izikhulu zaseBhabhiloni. Hlalani elizweni lisebenzele inkosi yaseBhabhiloni, konke kuzalilungela.”
25 Tisri bosome (bɛyɛ Ɛbɔ ne Ahinime ntam) no mpaemu wɔ saa afe no mu no, Netania babarima Ismael a ɔyɛ Elisama nana a na ɔfiri adehyeɛ abusua mu no de mmarima edu kɔɔ Mispa, kɔkumm Gedalia ne nnipa a na wɔka ne ho a wɔyɛ Yudafoɔ ne Babiloniafoɔ no nyinaa.
Kodwa ngenyanga yesikhombisa u-Ishumayeli indodana kaNethaniya, indodana ka-Elishama, owayezalwa esikhosini, weza lamadoda alitshumi bafika babulala uGedaliya lamadoda akoJuda kanye laweBhabhiloni ayekade elaye eMizipha.
26 Afei, nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda nyinaa, ɛfiri akumaa so, kɔsi ɔkɛseɛ so ne akodɔm asahene, bɔɔ huboa, na wɔdwane kɔɔ Misraim, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsuro sɛ Babiloniafoɔ no bɛyɛ wɔn biribi.
Ngenxa yalokhu, abantu bonke kusukela kubantukazana kusiya kwabaphakemeyo, kanye lezikhulu zamabutho, babalekela eGibhithe ngokwesaba abeBhabhiloni.
27 Ɔhene Yehoiakyin dii mfeɛ aduasa nson wɔ nʼasutwa mu wɔ Babilonia no, Ewil-Merodak bɛdii Babiloniahene. Ɔhunuu Yehoiakyin mmɔbɔ, enti ɔyii no firii afiase saa afe no ara mu Adar bosome (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛtɔ so mmienu.
Ngomnyaka wamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa wokuthunjwa kukaJehoyakhini inkosi yakoJuda, ngomnyaka u-Evili-Merodakhi aba yinkosi eBhabhiloni, wakhulula uJehoyakhini entolongweni ngosuku lwamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa lwenyanga yetshumi lambili.
28 Ɔkaa abodwosɛm kyerɛɛ no, na ɔmaa no diberɛ a ɛwɔ animuonyam sene ahemfo a wɔne no wɔ Babilonia no deɛ.
Wakhuluma laye ngomusa, wamnika isihlalo esihloniphekayo esasingaphezu kwezamanye amakhosi ayelaye eBhabhiloni.
29 Enti Yehoiakyin yii nʼafiase ntadeɛ guu nkyɛn, na ɛfiri saa ɛda no ɔdidii wɔ ɔhene didipono so ɛberɛ biara, kɔsii ne wu da.
Ngakho uJehoyakhini wakhupha izigqoko zakhe zasentolongweni, wadla lenkosi izikhathi zonke okwempilo yakhe yonke.
30 Na Babiloniahene no sane maa Yehoiakyin sika ɛberɛ-ano-berɛ-ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka, kɔsii ne wu da.
Nsuku zonke inkosi yayinika uJehoyakhini isabelo esimisiweyo malanga wonke, empilweni yakhe yonke.
