1 Yuda fi dunu da Yousaia egefe Youaha: se, amo Yuda hina bagade ilegele, Yelusalemega ema susuligi sogadigili, mogiligai.
Then the people of Judah chose Josiah’s son Jehoahaz and appointed him as the king in Jerusalem.
2 Youaha: se da lalelegele, ode 23 esalu, muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esala, oubi osodayale agoane Yuda fi ouligilalu.
Jehoahaz was 23 years old when he became the king, but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months.
3 Idibidi hina bagade Nigou da Youaha: se gagulaligili, e da Yuda dunu ema silifa defei 3,000 gilo amola gouli 30 gilo dabe ema ima: ne logei.
King Neco of Egypt [captured him and] prevented him from ruling any longer. He also forced the people of Judah to pay him a tax of almost four tons of silver and about 75 pounds of gold.
4 Hina bagade Nigou da Yousaia egefe eno Ilaiagime, amo Yousaia bagia Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Ilaiagime ea dio afadenene, bu Yihoiagimi dio ema asuli.
The king of Egypt appointed Jehoahaz’s [younger] brother Eliakim to be the king of Judah. He changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. After Neco captured Jehoahaz, he took him to Egypt.
5 Yihoiagimi da lalelegele, ode 25 esalu, e da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esala, ode gidayale agoane Yuda fi ouligilalu. Yihoiagimi da Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi.
Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 11 years. He did things that Yahweh his God considers to be evil.
6 Yihoiagimi da Yuda fi ouligilaloba, Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Yuda soge doagala: le, golili sa: ili, hasali. E da Yihoiagimi gagulaligili sia: inega lagili, Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana asi.
Then the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked Jehoiakim’s army. They [captured Jehoiakim and] bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
7 Nebiuga: denese da Debolo Diasu noga: i liligi eno amo suguli, Ba: bilone sogega gaguli asili, ea hina bagade diasu ganodini ligisi.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took valuable things from the temple; they took them to Babylon and put them in king [Nebuchadnezzar’s] palace there.
8 Yihoiagimi ea hamonanu huluane amola ea wadela: idafa hou hamonanu da “Isala: ili amola Yuda fi hina bagade Ilia Hamonanu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei. Yihoiagimi da bogole, egefe Yihoiagini da e bagia Yuda hina bagade hamoi.
A record of the other things that happened while Jehoiakim was ruling, the detestable things that he did, including the evil things that people said that he did, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’. After [he was taken to Babylon], his son Jehoiachin became the king [of Judah].
9 Yihoiagini da lalelegele, ode 18 agoane esalu, e da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esala, oubi udiana agoane Yuda fi ouligilalu. Yihoiagini amolawane Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi.
Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months and ten days. He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil.
10 Woufo oubi doaga: loba, hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Yihoiagini gagulaligili, Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana asi. E da noga: idafa liligi huluane Debolo Diasu ganodini galu, amo huluane lale, Ba: bilone sogega gaguli asi. Amalalu, Nebiuga: denese da Yihoiagini ea adabi Sedegaia amo Yuda fi amola Yelusaleme fi ilia hina bagade hamoi.
During the spring of the next year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent [soldiers] to bring him to Babylon. They also took to Babylon many valuable things from the temple of Yahweh. Then Nebuchadnezzar appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, to be the king of Judah.
11 Sedegaia da lalelegele, ode 21 agoane esalu, e da muni Yuda hina bagade hamoi. E da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega esalu, ode gidayale agoane Yuda fi ouligilalu.
Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 11 years.
12 Hina bagade Sedegaia da Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi. E da gasa fili, Hina Gode Ea sia: ne iasu balofede dunu Yelemaia, amo ea sia: hame nabi.
He did many things that Yahweh his God considered to be evil. And he did not humble himself when the prophet Jeremiah gave him a message from Yahweh [to warn him].
13 Hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da logebeba: le, Sedegaia da Gode Ea Dioba: le ema hame odoga: mu ilegele sia: i. Be Sedegaia da ema odoga: i. E da gasa fili, Isala: ili Hina Godema bu sinidigimu higa: i galu.
He would not return to Yahweh, the God that the people of Israel [said that they worshiped]. Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to solemnly promise using God’s name [to be loyal to him]. Zedekiah became very stubborn.
14 Amola Yuda fi ouligisu dunu, gobele salasu dunu, amola dunu huluane, ilia da ilima sisiga: i fifi asi defele, loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi nodone sia: ne gadobeba: le, Debolo Diasu amo Hina Gode da Hadigi dialoma: ne ilegei, amo nigima: i.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and also the people [of Judah] became more wicked again, doing all the detestable things that the people of the other nations did, and causing the temple in Jerusalem that Yahweh had caused to be holy to become [an] unacceptable [place to worship him].
15 Ilia aowalalia Hina Gode da ili amola Debolo Diasu gaga: musa: hanaiba: le, balofede dunu ilima sisama: ne gebewane asunahoasu.
Yahweh, the God whom the ancestors [of the people of Judah belonged to/worshiped], gave messages to his prophets many times, and the prophets told those messages to the people of Judah. Yahweh did that because he pitied his people and did not want his temple to be destroyed.
16 Be ilia da Gode Ea adola ahoasu dunuma lasogole oufesega: su, amola Gode Ea sisasu hame nabasu. Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea ilima ougi da heda: le, amoga hobeamu hamedei ba: i.
But the people continually made fun of God’s messengers. They despised God’s messages. They ridiculed his prophets, until finally God became extremely angry with his people, with the result that nothing could stop him [from destroying Judah].
17 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode da Ba: bilone hina bagade ili doagala: musa: ne asunasi. Nebiuga: denese da Yuda ayeligi dunu amo Debolo Diasu ganodini ili medole legei. E da dunu huluane, ayeligi amola da: i hamoi, dunu o uda, oloi gala o dagumui, amo huluanema hame asigi. Gode da dunu huluane Nebiuga: denese ea lobo da: iya iasi.
He incited the king of Babylonia to attack [Judah with his army]. They killed the young men with their swords, even in the temple. They did not spare/pity anyone, young men or young women or old people. God enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to kill all of them.
18 Nebiuga: denese da Debolo Diasu liligi amola hina bagade amola eagene ouligisu dunu ilia liligi huluane susuguli, Babilone sogega gaguli asi.
His soldiers took to Babylon all the things that were used in God’s temple—big things and little things, all the valuable things, and the valuable things that belonged to the king and his officials.
19 E da Debolo Diasu amola moilai bai bagade huluane ulagili, amola moilai bai bagade gagoi mugululi sali.
They burned the temple, and they broke down the wall surrounding Jerusalem. They burned all the palaces [in Jerusalem] and destroyed all the remaining valuable things there.
20 Amalu, e da dunu hame bogoi esalu, amo huluane Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana asi. Amogawi, ilia da e amola egaga fi dunu ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu esalu, amogainini Besia hina bagade da gasawane heda: i.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers took to Babylon the remaining people who had not been killed with their swords. Then those people became the king’s slaves and his son’s slaves, until the [army of the] king of Persia conquered [the army of Babylonia].
21 Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Ea balofede dunu Yelemaia ea lafidili sia: i amo huluane dafawane hamoi dagoi ba: i. E da amane sia: i galu, “Ilia Sa: bade ode helefisu hame hamobeba: le, Isala: ili soge da ode 70 agoane udigili hamedei soge agoai dialebe ba: mu.”
[Moses had said that every seventh year the people must not plant their fields; they must allow the soil to rest. But the people had not done that. So after the army of Babylonia destroyed Judah, ] the soil was allowed to rest. That continued for 70 years, fulfilling what Yahweh told Jeremiah and what Jeremiah had predicted/prophesied would happen.
22 Ode bisili amoga Sailase da Besia soge ouligisu, Hina Gode Ea balofede dunu Yelemaia ema musa: sia: i liligi da amo defele doaga: i dagoi ba: i. Hina Gode da Sailase ea asigi dawa: su olelebeba: le, Sailase da ea fidisu dunuma ilia da sia: amo dedene, ea soge amo ganodini dunu huluane nabima: ne idili ima: ne sia: i. Ea sia: da agoane dedei,
During the first year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, in order that what Yahweh told Jeremiah would happen would occur, Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this and proclaim it throughout his kingdom:
23 “Na, Sailase, Besia hina bagade da dilima amane hamoma: ne sia: sa. Hina Gode, Hebene amoga Hina esala, E da na osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluane ilima hina esaloma: ne hamoi dagoi. Amola E da na Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade Yuda soge ganodini amoga Ea Debolo diasu gaguma: ne ilegei. Defea! Dilia Gode Ea fi dunu huluane amoga masa! Amola Gode da dili sigi ahoanumu da defea.” Sia ama dagoi
“I, Cyrus, the king of Persia, declare that Yahweh, the God [who rules] in heaven, has enabled me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms of this world. And he wants me to [command that my workers] build a temple {a temple be built} for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of his people living among you people of Persia are allowed to go to Jerusalem. And I will pray that Yahweh will be with them.”
