Heremaia 52

1 E rua tekau ma tahi nga tau o Terekia i a ia i kingi ai; a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Hamutara, he tamahine na Heremaia o Ripina.

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 A i kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Iehoiakimi.

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

3 Na reira i a Ihowa ka riri nei, ka puta mai te aitua ki Hiruharama, ki a Hura, a maka noatia atu ratou i tona aroaro; a i whakakeke a Terekia ki te kingi o Papurona.

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 Na i te iwa o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te tekau o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ka tae mai a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, a ia me tana ope katoa ki Hiruharama, a whakapaea ana e ia; a hanga ana e ratou etahi taumaihi a taka noa, hei whawhai atu ki reira.

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 Heoi ka whakapaea te pa a tae noa ki te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Kingi Terekia.

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

6 I te wha o nga marama, i te iwa o nga ra o te marama, ka tino nui te matekai o te pa, na kahore he taro ma nga tangata o te whenua.

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 Katahi ka pakaru te pa, rere ana nga tangata whawhai katoa, puta ana i roto i te pa i te po, na te ara o te kuwaha i waenganui o nga taiepa e rua, na tera i te kari a te kingi, i karapotia hoki te pa e nga Karari; a haere ana ratou na te ara o te Arapa.

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 Otiia i whaia te kingi e te ope o nga Karari, a hopukia ana a Terekia ki nga mania i Heriko; a i marara noa atu tana ope katoa i tona taha.

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 ka mau ratou ki te kingi, a kawea ana ki te kingi o Papurona, ki Ripira i te whenua o Hamata; a whakaputaia ana e ia te whakawa mona.

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 Na tukitukia ana e te kingi o Papurona nga tama a Terekia i tana tirohanga: i tukitukia ano e ia nga rangatira katoa o Hura ki Ripira.

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

11 Na tikarohia ana e ia nga kanohi o Terekia; a herea ana ia e te kingi o Papurona ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona, maka ana ki te whare herehere, a taea noatia te ra i mate ai ia.

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 Na i te rima o nga marama, i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ko te tekau ma iwa hoki ia o nga tau o Kingi Nepukareha kingi o Papurona, ka haere mai a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, he tangata tu i te aroaro o te kingi o Papurona, ki Hiru harama.

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 Na tahuna ake e ia te whare o Ihowa, me te whare o te kingi; a tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi nga whare katoa o Hiruharama, nga whare katoa hoki o te hunga nunui.

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 Na ka wawahia e te ope katoa o nga Karari, e ta te rangatira o nga kaitiaki, nga taiepa katoa o Hiruharama a whawhe noa.

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 Katahi ka whakahekea atu e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki etahi o nga tino rawakore o te iwi, me era atu ano o te iwi i mahue ki te pa, me te iwi i papahoro atu, i taka atu ki te kingi o Papurona, me nga morehu ano o taua huihui.

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 Engari i waiho e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki etahi o nga tino rawakore o te whenua hei kaimahi waina, hei paruaruru.

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

17 Na, ko nga pou parahi i te whare o Ihowa, ko nga turanga me te moana parahi i te whare o Ihowa, wawahia ana e nga Karari, a maua atu ana e ratou te parahi katoa o aua mea ki Papurona.

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 I maua atu ano e ratou nga pata, nga koko pungarehu, nga kutikuti rama, nga peihana, nga koko, me nga oko parahi katoa mo a ratou mahi tapu.

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 Ko nga kapu, ko nga paepae ngarahu, ko nga peihana, ko nga pata, ko nga turanga rama, ko nga koko, ko nga oko; ko nga mea i hanga ki te koura, he koura, ko nga mea i hanga ki te hiriwa, he hiriwa, i maua katoatia atu e te rangatira o nga kaitiak i.

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 Na ko nga pou e rua, ko te moana kotahi, ko nga puru parahi kotahi tekau ma rua i raro i nga turanga, i hanga nei e Kingi Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa: kahore he paunatanga o te parahi o enei oko katoa.

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 ko nga pou, kotahi tekau ma waru whatianga te tiketike o te pou kotahi; tekau ma rua hoki nga whatianga o te aho hei pae mona; na, ko te matotoru, e wha nga ringa: he tuwhera a roto.

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 A ko te whakapaipai o runga he parahi; ko te tiketike o te whakapaipai kotahi, e rima nga whatianga, he parahi katoa te mea i whiria me nga pamekaranete i tetahi taha o te whakapaipai, i tetahi taha. Rite tonu hoki ki enei o te rua o nga pou, me nga pamekaranete ano.

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 e iwa tekau ma ono nga pamekaranete o nga taha; a ko nga pamekaranete katoa i te mea i whiria, kotahi te rau, a whawhe noa.

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

24 Na tangohia ana e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki a Heraia, te tino tohunga, me te tohunga tuarua, me Tepania, me nga kaitiaki tokotoru o te kuwaha:

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

25 I tangohia hoki e ia i roto i te pa tetahi rangatira o nga tangata whawhai, tokowhitu hoki no te aroaro pu ake o te kingi, he hunga i rokohanga ki roto ki te pa; me te kaituhituhi a te rangatira ope, ko ia nei te kaihuihui i nga tangata o te whe nua; e ono tekau hoki nga tangata o te iwi o te whenua, he hunga i rokohanga e ia ki roto ki te pa.

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 Na ka mau a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a ratou, kawea ana ki te kingi o Papurona ki Ripira.

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

27 Na patua iho ratou e te kingi o Papurona, whakamatea iho ki Ripira, ki te whenua o Hamata. Heoi whakahekea atu ana a Hura i tona oneone.

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 Ko te hunga tenei i whakaraua atu e Nepukareha: i te whitu o nga tau e toru mano e rua tekau ma toru nga Hurai:

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

29 I te tekau ma waru o nga tau o Nepukareha, e waru rau e toru tekau ma rua nga tangata i whakaraua atu e ia i Hiruharama:

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

30 I te rua tekau ma toru o nga tau o Nepukareha, e whitu rau e wha tekau ma rima nga tangata o nga Hurai i whakaraua atu e Neputaraarana, e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki: ko aua tangata katoa e wha mano e ono rau.

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 Na i te toru tekau ma whitu o nga tau o te whakahekenga atu o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura, i te tekau ma rau o nga marama, i te rua tekau ma rima o nga ra o te marama, ka whakaarahia e Ewiri Meroraka kingi o Papurona, i te tau tuatahi i kingi ai ia, te mahunga o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura, whakaputaina ana ia e ia i roto i te whare herehere;

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 A korero pai ana ia ki a ia, nekehia ake ana e ia tona torona ki runga ake i te torona o nga kingi i tona taha i Papurona.

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

33 Kakahuria ana e ia he kakahu ke i ona kakahu o te herehere, a kai taro ana ia i tona aroaro i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.

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

34 Na, ko tana kai he kai i homai tonu e te kingi o Papurona mana, he mea mo tenei ra, mo tenei ra, a taea noatia te ra o tona matenga, i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.

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.
