Ilia da moilai hamega, ha wa: i amo fisilalu, doagala: musa: , osobo gasa: le lelegela heda: i,
On January 15 of the ninth year that Zedekiah had been ruling, King Nebuchadnezzar arrived with his whole army, and they surrounded Jerusalem. They built ramps [made of dirt against the walls of the city], so that they could climb up the ramps and attack the city.
2 Ilia da eale disili, doagala: lalu, Sedegaia ea ouligilaloba ode gida da doaga: i.
They did that for two years.
3 Amo odega, eso sesege amola oubi biyadu amoga Yelusaleme dunu da ha: i manu hamedafa galu.
After Zedekiah had been ruling for eleven years, the (famine/shortage of food) had become very bad. All their food was gone.
4 Amo esoga, Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu da Yelusaleme gagoi dogoa fili, ganodini golili sa: i. Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu ilia da Yelusaleme eale disi ba: i.

On July 18 of that year, the Babylonian soldiers broke through part of the city wall, [and that enabled them to enter the city]. All the soldiers of Judah [wanted to escape]. But the Babylonian soldiers surrounded the city, so the [king and] the soldiers of Judah waited until it was nighttime. Then they fled through the gate that was between the two walls near the king’s park. They ran across the fields and started to go down to the Jordan [River] Valley.
5 Be Ba: bilone dadi gagui wa: i da hina bagade Sedegaia se bobogele, umi soge amo da Yeligou moilai bai bagade gadenene, amoga e gagulaligi. Amalu, Sedegaia ea dadi gagui dunu huluane da e fisiaga: lu, mugululi afia: i.
But the Babylonian soldiers chased/ran after them. They caught the king when he was by himself in the valley near the Jordan River. He was by himself because all his soldiers had abandoned him.
6 Ba: bilone dadi gagui dunu da Sedegaia amo hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Libila esalu, amoga e oule asili, Nebiuga: denese da ema fofada: nanu, ema se bidi imunu ilegei.
The Babylonian soldiers took King Zedekiah to Riblah [city] in Babylon. There the king of Babylon decided what they would do to punish him.
7 Sedegaia da hi ba: lobawane, ilia da eagofelali fufuga: lelegei. Amalu, Nebiuga: denese da sia: beba: le, ilia da Sedegaia ea si aduna duga: le fasilalu, sia: inega la: gilalu, e Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana asi.
There the king of Babylon forced Zedekiah to watch as the Babylonian soldiers killed all of Zedekiah’s sons. Then they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They put bronze chains on [his hands and feet] and then they took him to Babylon.
8 Eso fesu amola oubi bi, Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese ea ouligibi ode 19 amoga, Nebiusala: ida: ne (hina bagade ea fada: i sia: ne iasu dunu amola ea dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu dunu) e da Yelusaleme doagala: la sa: i.
On August 14 of that year, after Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for 19 years, Nebuzaradan arrived in Jerusalem. He was one of king Nebuchadnezzar’s officials and captain of the men that guarded the king.
9 E da Debolo Diasu amola hina bagade diasu amola mimogo dunu Yelusalemega esafulu ilia diasu, amo huluane ulagili sali.
He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. So they burned down all the important buildings in the city.
10 Ea dadi gagui dunu da moilai gagoi mugululi sali.
Then Nebuzaradan supervised all the soldiers of the Babylonian army as they tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
11 Amalu, Nebiusala: ida: ne da dunu oda hame hobea: i moilai ganodini esalu, amola hawa: hamosu bagade dawa: dunu musa: hame mugululi asi amo huluane, amola dunu amo da musa: Ba: bilone dadi gagui wa: i ilima hobeale madelala asi, amo huluane e da Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana asi.
Then he and his soldiers took to Babylon the people who were still living in the city, the other people [who lived in that area], and the soldiers who had previously surrendered to the Babylonian army.
12 Be hamedafa gagui dunu, amo da soge hame gagui, amo e da waini sagaiga amola ifabi amoga hawa: hamoma: ne, e da Yuda sogega esaloma: ne yolesi.
But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to stay in Judah to take care of the vineyards and [to plant crops in] the fields.
13 Ba: bilone dadi gagui wa: i dunu da balasega hamoi duni bugi, amola balasega hamoi gaguli fula ahoasu liligi amo Debolo Diasu ganodini diafulu, amola balasega hamoi ofodo sugi, amo huluane fifili, Ba: bilone sogega gaguli asi.
The Babylonian soldiers broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the bronze carts with wheels, and the huge bronze basin, all of which were in the temple courtyard, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
14 Ilia da safala amola nasubu gasa: su yaeya (amoga ilia da oloda doa: su), gamali gesosu liligi, gobele salimusa: maga: me disu ofodo, amola balasega hamoi Debolo hawa: hamosu liligi, amo huluane gagaguli afia: i.
They also took the pots, the shovels, the instruments for (snuffing out/extinguishing) [the wicks of] the lamps, the dishes, and all the other bronze items that the Israeli priests had used for offering sacrifices at the temple.
15 Amola ilia da liligi huluane amo da gouliga hamoi o silifaga hamoi, amola ofodo sugi fonobahadi, amola lalu oso gaguli ahoasu yaeya, amo huluane amolawane gagaguli asi.
The soldiers also took away the (firepans/trays for carrying burning coals), the basins, and [all the other] items made of pure gold or pure silver.
16 Balasega hamoi liligi amo hina bagade Soloumane da Debolo amogili sia: ne hahamoi, (duni bugi aduna, gaguli fula ahoasu huluane, amola ofodo sugi bagade) amo da dioi bagadeba: le, defemu hamedei ba: i.
The bronze from the two pillars, the carts with wheels, and the huge basin were very heavy; they could not be weighed. (Those things had been made/A man named Hiram had made these things) for the temple when Solomon [was the king of Israel].
17 Amo duni bugi aduna da ela defeledafa ba: i. Ela seda defei da 8 mida. Amola balasega hamoi bada amo ela seda defei da 1.3 mida. Amo bada ela sisiga: le da balasega hamoi gigiadomai. Amo da balasega hamoi bomegala: nidi fage amoga nina: hamoi ba: i.
Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall. The bronze capital/top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high. They were each decorated all around with something that looked like a net made of bronze chains connecting bronze pomegranates.
18 Ba: bilone dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu dunu Nebiusala: ida: ne, e da gobele salasu Ouligisudafa Sela: ia, amola ea afoha gobele salasu dunu Sefenaia, amola Debolo ouligisu dunu mimogodafa udiana, amo huluane e da Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana asi.
Nebuzaradan took with him to Babylon Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah his assistant, and the three men who guarded the entrance [to the temple].
19 Amola Yelusalemega, e da Yuda dadi gagui wa: i ouligisudafa, amola e fidisu dunu (e da dadi gagui wa: i hamonanu meloa dedei ouligisu), Yuda hina bagade ea fada: i sia: ne iasu dunu biyale gala, amola mimogo dunu eno 60 agoane, amo huluane hiouginana asi.
And they found people who were still hiding in Jerusalem. From those people he took one officer from the Judean army, five of the king’s advisors, the chief secretary of the army commander who was in charge of recruiting men to join the army, and 60 other important Judean men.
Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon at Riblah [city].
21 Nebiusala: ida: ne da ili huluane amo Ba: bilone hina bagade Libina moilai bai bagade (Ha: ima: de sogega gala) amoga esalu, ema hiouginana asi. Amogawi, hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da sia: beba: le, ilia amo dunu huluane bubulufananu, medole lelegei. Ilia da amanewane Yuda fi dunu mugululi hiouginana asi.
There at Riblah, in Hamath province, the king of Babylon commanded that they all be executed. That is what happened when the people of Judah were (taken forcefully/exiled) from their land [to Babylon].
22 Ba: bilone hina bagade Nebiuga: denese da Gedalaia (Ahaiga: me egefe amola Sia: ifa: ne ea aowa) Yuda soge ouligisu dunu hamoi. E da Gedalaiama Yuda dunu amo da Ba: bilonega mugululi hame asi, amo ouligima: ne sia: i.
Then King Nebuchadnezzar appointed Gedaliah, who was the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, to be the governor of the people who were still living in Judah.
23 Yuda dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu dunu amo da hamedafa goaiya: i, ilia amo sia: nababeba: le, ilia da Misiba moilaiga Gedalaiama madelai. Amo ouligisu dunu da Isiama: iele (Nedanaia egefe), Youha: ina: ne (Galia egefe), Sela: ia (Da: nahiumede egefe. E da Nidoufa dunu misi) amola Yesanaia (Ma: iaga dunu misi).
When all the army captains of Judah and their soldiers who had not surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar found out that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah to be the governor, they met with him at Mizpah [town]. These army captains were Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth from Netophah [town], and Jaazaniah from the Maacah region.
24 Gedalaia da ilima amane sia: i, “Ba: bilone ouligisu dunu ilima mae beda: ma! Amo soge ganodini ha: ini fili, Ba: bilone hina bagade ea hawa: hamosu hamoma. Amasea, dilia da hahawane ba: mu.”
Gedaliah solemnly promised them [that the officials from Babylon were not planning to harm them]. He said, “You may live in this land [without being afraid] and serve the king of Babylon, and [if you do], everything will go well for you.”
25 Be amo odega, oubi fesu agoane, Isiama: iele (Nedanaia egefe amola Ilisiama ea aowa. E da hina bagade ea sosogo fi dunu), e da Misiba moilaiga dunu nabuane gala oule asili, Gedalaia doagala: le, e medole legei. Amola e da Yuda fi dunu amola Ba: bilone fi dunu Gedalaia bisili amogai esalu, amo huluane medole legei.
But in October of that year, Ishmael, whose grandfather Elishama was one of the relatives of the descendants of King David, went to Mizpah along with ten other men and assassinated/killed Gedaliah and all the men who were with him. There were also men from Judah and men from Babylon whom they assassinated.
26 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu, (bagade gagui amola hame gagui) ilia huluane amola dadi gagui ouligisu dunu huluane da amo soge fisili, Idibidi sogega hobea: i. Bai ilia da Ba: bilone dunuba: le beda: i galu.
Then many [HYP] of the people from Judah, important people and unimportant ones, and the army captains, were very afraid of [what] the Babylonians [would do to them], so they fled to Egypt.
27 Ode afaega, Ifilimelouda: ge da Ba: bilone hina bagade hamoi. Amo odega, e da Yuda hina bagade Yihoiaginima asigiba: le, e da se iasu diasu ganodini esalu, ga masa: ne logo doasi. Ilia da Yihoiagini Ba: bilone sogega hiouginana asili, e da ode 37 agoane se iasu diasu ganodini esalu, amalu amo odega, eso 27 amola oubi fago, amoga Ba: bilone hina bagade da e se iasu diasu ganodini esalu amo logo doasi.
Thirty-seven years after King Jehoiachin of Judah was taken to Babylon, [Nebuchadnezzar’s son] Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin, and on April 2 of that year, he released/freed Jehoiachin from prison.
28 Ifilimelouda: ge da ema asigiwane hamoi. E da eno hina bagade dunu Ba: bilone sogega mugululi misi, ilima Yihoiagimi e bisilua dunu hamone ouligima: ne sogebi ema i.
He always spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and honored him more than the other kings who had been taken/exiled to Babylon.
29 Amaiba: le, Ifilimelouda: ge da sia: beba: le, Yihoiagini da ea se iasu diasua ga: su abula amo gisa: le, eno gaheabolo ga: i. Amola ea fifi manu amoga e da hina bagade e bisili ha: i mai.
He gave Jehoiachin new clothes to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison, and he allowed Jehoiachin to eat at the king’s table every day for the rest of his life.
30 Amola eso huluane, ea fifi manu amoga, ea esala lamu liligi defele, ilia da igili bidi iasu. Sia: ama dagoi
The king of Babylon also gave him money every day, so that he could buy the things that he needed. The king continued to do that until Jehoiachin died.
