Yeremia 52

1 Sedekia dii adeɛ no, na wadi mfirinhyia aduonu baako. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Yerusalem mfirinhyia dubaako. Na ne maame din de Hamutal a ɔyɛ Yeremia babaa a ɔfiri Libna.

Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Hamutal, the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.

2 Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ Yehoiakim yɛeɛ no.

And he did euil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done.

3 Awurade abufuo enti na yeinom nyinaa baa Yerusalem ne Yuda so, na akyire no, ɔyii nʼani firii wɔn so. Afei, Sedekia sɔre tiaa Babiloniahene.

Doubtlesse because the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah, till he had cast them out from his presence, therefore Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.

4 Enti Sedekia adedie afe a ɛtɔ so nkron no, bosome a ɛtɔ so edu ne da a ɛtɔ so edu no, Babiloniahene Nebukadnessar ne nʼakodɔm nyinaa tuu Yerusalem so sa; Wɔtuaa kuropɔn no, na wɔyɛɛ mpie twaa ho hyiaeɛ.

But in the ninth yeere of his reigne, in the tenth moneth the tenth day of the moneth came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, he and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and buylt fortes against it round about.

5 Wɔkaa Yerusalem hyɛɛ kɔsii ɔhene Sedekia ahennie no mfeɛ dubaako so.

So the citie was besieged vnto the eleuenth yeere of the King Zedekiah.

6 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.

Now in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the famine was sore in ye citie, so that there was no more bread for ye people of the land.

7 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.

Then the citie was broken vp and all the men of warre fled, and went out of the citie by night, by the way of the gate betweene the two walles, which was by the kings garden: (now the Caldeans were by the citie round about) and they went by the way of the wildernes.

8 Nanso, Babilonia akodɔm no taa Ɔhene Sedekia kɔtoo no wɔ Yeriko tata so. Na nʼasraafoɔ no nyinaa afiri ne ho abɔ apete,

But the army of the Caldeans pursued after the king, and tooke Zedekiah in the desert of Iericho, and all his host was scattered from him.

9 na wɔkyeree no. Wɔfaa no dedua de no kɔmaa Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat asase so, na ɛhɔ na ɔbuu no atɛn.

Then they tooke the king and caryed him vp vnto the king of Babel to Riblah in the lande of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon him.

10 Ribla hɔ na Babiloniahene kunkumm Sedekia mmammarima wɔ nʼanim na ɔkumm Yudafoɔ adwumayɛfoɔ nyinaa nso.

And the king of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah, before his eyes he slew also al ye princes of Iudah in Riblah.

11 Afei ɔtutuu Sedekia ani, de kɔbere mfrafraeɛ mpokyerɛ guu no sɛ ɔde no rekɔ Babilonia. Ɛhɔ na ɔde no too afiase kɔsii ne wu da.

Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and the king of Babel bound him in chaines, and caried him to Babel, and put him in pryson till the day of his death.

12 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.

Now in the fift moneth in the tenth day of the moneth (which was the nineteenth yere of ye King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel) came Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward which stoode before the king of Babel in Ierusalem,

13 Ɔde ogya too Awurade asɔredan, ahemfie ne afie a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa mu. Ɔhyee efie biara a ɛdi mu.

And burnt the House of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.

14 Babiloniafoɔ akodɔm a wɔhyɛ ɔhene awɛmfoɔ so sahene ase no bubuu afasuo a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no nyinaa.

And al the armie of the Caldeans that were with the chiefe steward, brake downe all ye walles of Ierusalem round about.

15 Ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua awɛmfoɔ ano no faa wɔn a wɔdi hia no mu bi, wɔn a wɔkaa kuropɔn no mu, adwumfoɔ a wɔaka ne wɔn a wɔkɔdɔm Babiloniahene no kɔɔ nnommumfa mu.

Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward caried away captiue certaine of the poore of the people, and the residue of the people that remayned in the citie, and those that were fled, and fallen to the king of Babel, with the rest of the multitude.

16 Nanso, Nebusaradan gyaa wɔn a wɔdi hia wɔ asase no so no nkaeɛ sɛ wɔnhwɛ bobe nturo ne mfuo no.

But Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward left certaine of the poore of the lande, to dresse the vines, and to till the land.

17 Babiloniafoɔ no bubuu kɔbere mfrafraeɛ afadum, nnyinasodeɛ a wɔtumi moma soɔ ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ Po a na ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan mu, na wɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ no nyinaa kɔɔ Babilonia.

Also the pillars of brasse that were in the House of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea, that was in the house of ye Lord, the Caldeans brake, and caried all the brasse of them to Babel.

18 Afei, wɔfaa nkukuo, nsofi, kaneahoma twitwasoɔ, ɔpete nkuruwa, nwowaa ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nneɛma a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma wɔ asɔredan mu no nso kɔeɛ.

The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musicke, and the basins, and the incense dishes, and all the vessels of brasse wherewith they ministred, tooke they away.

19 Ɔhene awɛmfoɔ sahene no faa nkankyee, nkankyee ntrawantrawa, ɔpete nkuruwa, nkukuo, kaneannua, nwowaa ne nkuruwa a wɔde di ɔnom afɔrebɔ ho dwuma no kɔeɛ; wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa anaa dwetɛ na ɛyɛɛ yeinom nyinaa.

And the bowles, and the ashpannes, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlestickes, and the incense dishes, and the cuppes, and all that was of golde, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,

20 Na wɔntumi nkari kɔbere mfrafraeɛ a wɔde yɛɛ afadum mmienu no, Ɛpo no ne anantwinini dumienu a ɛwɔ nʼase ne nnyinasoɔ a wɔmoma soɔ a Ɔhene Salomo yɛɛ wɔ Awurade asɔredan mu yi mu duru.

With the two pillars, one Sea, and twelue brasen bulles, that were vnder the bases, which King Salomon had made in ye house of ye Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.

21 Na afadum no biara ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduonu nson ɛnna ne kanko mu nso yɛ anammɔn dunwɔtwe. Emu da tokuro na nʼafaban no mu pipiripie yɛ nsateakwaa ɛnan.

And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteene cubites, and a threede of twelue cubites did compasse it, and the thicknesse thereof was foure fingers: it was holowe.

22 Na kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ntaasoɔ a ɛsi afadum baako so no ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn nson ne fa a wɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ateaa ahyehyɛ ho nyinaa ahyia. Afadum a aka no nso a wɔde kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ateaa ahyehyɛ ho no te sɛ baako no.

And a chapiter of brasse was vpon it, and the height of one chapiter was fiue cubites with networke, and pomegranates vpon the chapiters round about, all of brasse: the seconde pillar also, and the pomegranates were like vnto these.

23 Na Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ateaa aba a ɛsensɛn ntaasoɔ no ano no yɛ aduɔkron nsia, ɛnna deɛ ɛkata ntaasoɔ no ho yɛ ɔha.

And there were ninetie and sixe pomegranates on a side: and all the pomegranates vpon the net worke were an hundreth round about.

24 Awɛmfoɔ no sahene no faa ɔsɔfopanin Seraia, abadiakyire Sefania ne ɔpono ano hwɛfoɔ baasa no sɛ nneduafoɔ.

And the chiefe steward tooke Sheraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the seconde Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.

25 Ɔfaa ɔpanin a ɔtua asraafoɔ no ano, ne adehyeɛ afotufoɔ baason firii nnipa a na wɔda so wɔ kuropɔn no mu no. Afei ɔfaa ɔtwerɛfoɔ a na ɔyɛ adwumayɛfoɔ panin ma wɔn a wɔfa nnipa ma wɔkɔyɛ asraafoɔ wɔ asase no so, ne nʼadwumayɛfoɔ no mu aduosia a ɔhunuu wɔn wɔ kuropɔn no mu.

Hee tooke also out of the citie an Eunuch, which had the ouersight of the men of warre, and seuen men that were in the Kings presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captayne of the hoste who mustered the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the middes of the citie.

26 Ɔsahene Nebusaradan faa wɔn nyinaa de wɔn brɛɛ Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla.

Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the king of Babel to Riblah.

27 Wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat hɔ no, ɔhene no ma wɔkunkum wɔn. Enti wɔtwaa Yuda asuo firii nʼasase so.

And the king of Babel smote them, and slewe them in Riblah, in the lande of Hamath: thus Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne land.

28 Nnipa dodoɔ a Nebukadnessar de wɔn kɔɔ nkoasom mu nie: nʼadedie afe a ɛtɔ so nson mu, Yudafoɔ 3,023;

This is the people, whome Nebuchad-nezzar caried away captiue, in the seuenth yeere, euen three thousande Iewes, and three and twentie.

29 Nebukadnessar adedie afe a ɛtɔ so dunwɔtwe mu, nnipa a wɔfiri Yerusalem, 832;

In the eightenth yere of Nebuchad-nezzar he caried away captiue from Ierusalem eight hundreth thirtie and two persons.

30 nʼadedie afe a ɛtɔ so aduonu mmiɛnsa mu, ɔsahene Nebusaradan a ɔtua ɔhene awɛmfoɔ ano no de Yudafoɔ 745 kɔɔ nnommumfa mu. Nnipa no nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ 4,600.

In the three and twentieth yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde caried away captiue of the Iewes seuen hundreth fourtie and fiue persons: all the persons were foure thousand and sixe hundreth.

31 Ɔhene Yehoiakin 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.

And in the seuen and thirtieth yeere of the captiuitie of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, in the twelfth moneth, in the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel, in the first yeere of his reigne, lifted vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, and brought him out of pryson,

32 Ɔkaa abodwosɛm kyerɛɛ no, na ɔmaa no diberɛ a ɛwɔ animuonyam sene ahemfo a wɔne no wɔ Babilonia no deɛ.

And spake kindly vnto him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings, that were with him in Babel,

33 Enti Yehoiakin yii nʼafiase ntadeɛ guu nkyɛn, na ɛfiri saa ɛda no ɔdidii wɔ ɔhene didipono so ɛberɛ biara kɔsii ne wu da.

And changed his pryson garmentes, and he did continually eate bread before him all the dayes of his life.

34 Na Babiloniahene no sane maa Yehoiakin sika berɛ ano berɛ ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka kɔsii ne owuda.

His porcion was a continuall portion giuen him of ye king of Babel, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life vntill he died.
