Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
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.
2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so, sɛdeɛ Yehoiakim yɛeɛ no.
3 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Awurade abufuo enti na yeinom nyinaa baa Yerusalem ne Yuda so, na akyire no, ɔyii nʼani firii wɔn so. Afei, Sedekia sɔre tiaa Babiloniahene.
4 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 king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, and built forts against it on every side.
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.
5 So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Wɔkaa Yerusalem hyɛɛ kɔsii ɔhene Sedekia ahennie no mfeɛ dubaako so.
6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was great in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
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.
7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth from the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city on all sides: ) and they went by the way of the plain.
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.
8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Nanso, Babilonia akodɔm no taa Ɔhene Sedekia kɔtoo no wɔ Yeriko tata so. Na nʼasraafoɔ no nyinaa afiri ne ho abɔ apete,
9 Then they took the king, and carried him to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
na wɔkyeree no. Wɔfaa no dedua de no kɔmaa Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat asase so, na ɛhɔ na ɔbuu no atɛn.
10 And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
Ribla hɔ na Babiloniahene kunkumm Sedekia mmammarima wɔ nʼanim na ɔkumm Yudafoɔ adwumayɛfoɔ nyinaa nso.
11 Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
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.
12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
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.
13 And burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, he burned with fire:
Ɔde ogya too Awurade asɔredan, ahemfie ne afie a ɛwɔ Yerusalem nyinaa mu. Ɔhyee efie biara a ɛdi mu.
14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem on every side.
Babiloniafoɔ akodɔm a wɔhyɛ ɔhene awɛmfoɔ so sahene ase no bubuu afasuo a atwa Yerusalem ho ahyia no nyinaa.
15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the rest of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
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.
16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for farmers.
Nanso, Nebusaradan gyaa wɔn a wɔdi hia wɔ asase no so no nkaeɛ sɛ wɔnhwɛ bobe nturo ne mfuo no.
17 Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
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.
18 The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass by which they ministered, they took away.
Afei, wɔfaa nkukuo, nsofi, kaneahoma twitwasoɔ, ɔpete nkuruwa, nwowaa ne kɔbere mfrafraeɛ nneɛma a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma wɔ asɔredan mu no nso kɔeɛ.
19 And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the lampstands, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
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.
20 The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
21 And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a band of twelve cubits surrounded it; and the thickness of it was four fingers: it was hollow.
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.
22 And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capitals around, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like these.
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.
23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred on all sides.
Na Kɔbere mfrafraeɛ ateaa aba a ɛsensɛn ntaasoɔ no ano no yɛ aduɔkron nsia, ɛnna deɛ ɛkata ntaasoɔ no ho yɛ ɔha.
24 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Awɛmfoɔ no sahene no faa ɔsɔfopanin Seraia, abadiakyire Sefania ne ɔpono ano hwɛfoɔ baasa no sɛ nneduafoɔ.
25 He took also out of the city an eunuch, who had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them 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 sixty men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
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.
26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Ɔsahene Nebusaradan faa wɔn nyinaa de wɔn brɛɛ Babiloniahene wɔ Ribla.
27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
Wɔ Ribla a ɛwɔ Hamat hɔ no, ɔhene no ma wɔkunkum wɔn. Enti wɔtwaa Yuda asuo firii nʼasase so.
28 This is the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
Nnipa dodoɔ a Nebukadnessar de wɔn kɔɔ nkoasom mu nie: nʼadedie afe a ɛtɔ so nson mu, Yudafoɔ 3,023;
29 In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty and two persons:
Nebukadnessar adedie afe a ɛtɔ so dunwɔtwe mu, nnipa a wɔfiri Yerusalem, 832;
30 In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
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.
31 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him out of prison,
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.
32 And spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
Ɔkaa abodwosɛm kyerɛɛ no, na ɔmaa no diberɛ a ɛwɔ animuonyam sene ahemfo a wɔne no wɔ Babilonia no deɛ.
33 And changed his prison garments: and he continually ate bread before him all the days of his life.
Enti Yehoiakin yii nʼafiase ntadeɛ guu nkyɛn, na ɛfiri saa ɛda no ɔdidii wɔ ɔhene didipono so ɛberɛ biara kɔsii ne wu da.
34 And for his food, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Na Babiloniahene no sane maa Yehoiakin sika berɛ ano berɛ ano, ma ɔde tuatua ne ho aka kɔsii ne owuda.
