2 Chronicles 36

1 Then the people of the lande tooke Iehoahaz the sonne of Iosiah, and made him king in his fathers steade in Ierusalem.

Anyigba la dzi tɔwo katã tia Yehoahaz, Yosia ƒe vi eye wotsɔe ɖo fiae ɖe Yerusalem ɖe fofoa teƒe.

2 Iehoahaz was three and twentie yeere old when he began to reigne, and he reigned three moneths in Ierusalem.

Yehoahaz xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ esi wòdze fiaɖuɖu gɔme, ke eɖu fia le Yerusalem ɣleti etɔ̃.

3 And the King of Egypt tooke him away at Ierusalem, and condemned the lande in an hundreth talents of siluer, and a talent of gold.

Egipte fia ɖe Yehoahaz le fiazikpui la dzi le Yerusalem eye wòɖo nudzɔdzɔ Yuda dzi be wòana klosaloga kilogram akpe etɔ̃, alafa ene kple sikaga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene.

4 And the King of Egypt made Eliakim his brother King ouer Iudah and Ierusalem, and turned his name to Iehoiakim: and Necho tooke Iehoahaz his brother, and caryed him to Egypt.

Egipte fia tsɔ Eliakim, Yehoahaz nɔvi, ɖo fia ɖe Yuda kple Israel nu. Wotrɔ Eliakim ƒe ŋkɔ wòzu Yehoyakim. Ke Neko kplɔ Eliakim nɔvi Yehoahaz yi Egipte.

5 Iehoiakim was fiue and twentie yeere old, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeere in Ierusalem, and did euill in the sight of the Lord his God.

Yehoyakim xɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiɖekɛ le Yerusalem. Ewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume.

6 Against him came vp Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel, and bounde him with chaines to cary him to Babel.

Babilonia fia, Nebukadnezar, ho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu, ɖu edzi eye wòde kɔsɔkɔsɔ Fia Yehoyakim heɖe aboyoe yi Babilonia.

7 Nebuchadnezzar also caryed of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babel, and put them in his temple at Babel.

Nebukadnezar lɔ sikatrewo kple nu bubuwo tso gbedoxɔ la me ɖada ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe gbedoxɔ me le Babilonia.

8 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was founde vpon him, behold, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel and Iudah, and Iehoiachin his sonne reigned in his stead.

Woŋlɔ Yehoyakim ƒe ŋutinya kple eƒe wɔna mamlɛawo kple nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo katã wòwɔ la ɖe Yuda kple Israel fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽ me. Via Yehoyatsin ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.

9 Iehoiachin was eight yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned three moneths and ten dayes in Ierusalem, and did euill in the sight of the Lord.

Yehoyatsin xɔ ƒe enyi ko esi wòɖu fia; eɖu fia le Yerusalem ɣleti etɔ̃ kple ŋkeke ewo ko. Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Mawu ƒe ŋkume o.

10 And when the yeere was out, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babel with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and he made Zedekiah his brother King ouer Iudah and Ierusalem.

Esi ƒe trɔ la, Fia Nebukadnezar yɔe va Babilonia le adame. Wolɔ kesinɔnu geɖewo tso Yerusalem gbedoxɔ la me yi Babilonia eye Fia Nebukadnezer tsɔ Yehoyatsin nɔvi Zedekia ɖo fiae ɖe Yuda kple Yerusalem nu.

11 Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and reigned eleuen yeere in Ierusalem.

Zedekia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiɖekɛ le Yerusalem.

12 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himselfe before Ieremiah the Prophet at the commandement of the Lord,

Zedekia nye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume elabena egbe, mezɔ ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia ƒe nya si wòse tso Yehowa gbɔ hegblɔ nɛ la nu o.

13 But he rebelled moreouer against Nebuchadnezzar, which had caused him to sweare by God: and he hardened his necke and made his heart obstinate that he might not returne to the Lord God of Israel.

Edze aglã ɖe Fia Nebukadnezar ŋu togbɔ be eka atam nɛ be yeasubɔe anukwaretɔe hã hafi. Zedekia nye kɔlialiatɔ aɖe le Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ƒe sewo dzi mawɔmawɔ me eye wògbe metrɔ ɖe Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ŋu o.

14 All the chiefe of the Priestes also and of the people trespassed wonderfully, according to all the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which he had sanctified in Ierusalem.

Ame vevi siwo katã nɔ dukɔ la me, nunɔlagãwo gɔ̃ hã, subɔ dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la ƒe legbawo ale wodo gu Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la le Yerusalem.

15 Therefore the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising earely and sending: for he had compassion on his people, and on his habitation.

Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la ɖo eƒe nya ɖe wo to eƒe dɔlawo dzi enuenu elabena ekpɔ nublanui na eƒe dukɔ la kple eƒe nɔƒe la.

16 But they mocked the messengers of God and despised his wordes, and misused his Prophets, vntill the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and till there was no remedie.

Ke ameawo ɖe alɔme le Mawu ƒe ame dɔdɔwo ŋu eye wodo vlo woƒe nyawo. Woɖu fewu le eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo ŋu va se ɖe esime Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋu eye avuléla menɔ anyi o.

17 For he brought vpon them the King of the Caldeans, who slewe their yong men with the sworde in the house of their Sanctuarie, and spared neither yong man, nor virgin, ancient, nor aged. God gaue all into his hande,

Ekplɔ Babilonia fia ƒu wo, ame si wu woƒe ɖekakpuiwo kple yi le Kɔkɔeƒe la eye meve ɖekakpuiwo loo alo ɖetugbiwo, ametsitsi loo alo amegãɖeɖi nu o. Mawu tsɔ wo katã de asi na Nebukadnezar.

18 And all the vessels of the house of God great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the King, and of his princes: all these caryed he to Babel.

Elɔ nu siwo katã le Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me, nu suewo kple gãwo siaa kple Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me nu xɔasiwo kple fia ƒe dɔnunɔlawo ƒe nu xɔasiwo katã yi Babilonia.

19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof, to destroy all.

Wotɔ dzo Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la, gbã Yerusalem ƒe gliwo, wotɔ dzo fiasãwo katã eye wogblẽ nu sia nu si ŋu asixɔxɔ nɔ le afi ma.

20 And they that were left by the sworde, caryed he away to Babel, and they were seruants to him and to his sonnes, vntill the kingdome of the Persians had rule,

Ekplɔ ame siwo susɔ, esiwo si le yi nu la yi aboyome le Babilonia eye wova zu subɔlawo na eya ŋutɔ kple via ŋutsuwo va se ɖe esime Persia fiaɖuƒe la xɔ ɖe eteƒe.

21 To fulfill the worde of the Lord by the mouth of Ieremiah, vntill the lande had her fill of her Sabbaths: for all the dayes that she lay desolate, she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seuentie yeeres.

22 But in the first yeere of Cyrus King of Persia (when the worde of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah, was finished) the Lord stirred vp the spirit of Cyrus King of Persia, and he made a proclamation through all his kingdome, and also by writing, saying,

Le Sirus ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɖe Persia dzi ƒe ƒe gbãtɔ me la, be yeawɔ Yehowa ƒe nya si Yeremia gblɔ dzi la, Yehowa ʋa Sirus, Persia fia ƒe dzi be wòaɖe gbeƒã le eƒe anyigba blibo la dzi eye wòade gbeƒãɖeɖe sia nuŋɔŋlɔ me be,

23 Thus saith Cyrus King of Persia, All the kingdomes of the earth hath the Lord God of heauen giuen me, and hath commanded me to build him an house in Ierusalem, that is in Iudah. Who is among you of all his people, with whom the Lord his God is? let him goe vp.

Nu si Sirus, Persia fia, gblɔe nye, “Yehowa, dziƒo ƒe Mawu, tsɔ anyigbadzidukɔwo katã dziɖuɖu de asi nam eye wotiam be matu gbedoxɔ na ye le Yerusalem, le Yuda. Ame siwo nye Yehowa ƒe ame eye wole mia dome la, Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la nanɔ kpli wo eye wòana woadzo ayi.”
