2 Ruodhi 24
1 E ndalo loch Jehoyakim, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nomonjo piny kendo Jehoyakim nobedo e bwo lochne kuom higni adek. To bangʼe noloko pache mokwedo Nebukadneza.
During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
2 Jehova Nyasaye nooro jo-Babulon, jo-Aram, jo-Moab kod jo-Amon mondo omonj ruoth Jehoyakim. Ne oorogi mondo otiek Juda, kaluwore gi wach mane Jehova Nyasaye owacho kokalo kuom jotichne ma jonabi.
And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
3 Kuom adier gigi notimore ne Juda mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko, mondo mi ogolgi e nyime nikech richo mar Manase kod gik moko duto mane osetimo,
Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
4 kaachiel gichwero remo maonge ketho. Jehova Nyasaye ne ok oikore mar weyone richone nikech nosechwero remo maonge ketho mopongʼogo Jerusalem.
and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
5 Kuom gik mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Jehoyakim kod gik moko duto mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitepe mag weche ruodhi mag Juda?
But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
6 Jehoyakim notho moyweyo gi kwerene, kendo Jehoyakin wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
7 Ruodh Misri ne ok owuok kendo e pinye nikech ruodh Babulon nokawo tongʼ mage duto chakre Wadi manie piny Misri nyaka e Aora Yufrate.
And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Jehoyakin ne ja-higni apar gaboro kane odoko ruoth, kendo nobedo e loch kuom dweche adek kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Nehushta nyar Elnathan, ma aa Jerusalem.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9 Notimo timbe maricho e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka wuon mare notimo.
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
10 E kindeno jodong Nebukadneza ruoth Babulon nodonjo e Jerusalem mokawe,
At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
11 kendo Nebukadneza owuon nobiro nyaka dala maduongʼ ka jodonge olworo dala maduongʼno.
And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
12 Jehoyakin ruodh Juda, min mare, jotende jodonge kod jongʼadne rieko duto nochiwore e lwet ruodh Babulon. Jehoyakin noket e twech e higa mar aboro mar Loch ruodh Babulon.
And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho, Nebukadneza nogolo mwandu duto mane ni e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo e kar dak ruoth, mi okawo gik molos gi dhahabu duto mane ruoth Solomon ruodh Israel olosone hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
14 Ruoth Nebukadneza notero jo-Jerusalem alufu apar e twech mane gin jodongo duto kod jolweny, gi joma olony e tich lwedo kod jogoro. Onge ngʼato mane odongʼ makmana joma odhier.
And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
15 Nebukadneza notero Jehoyakin e twech Babulon, kaachiel gi min ruoth, monde, jodonge kod jodong gwengʼ kogologi Jerusalem.
Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 Bende ruodh Babulon notero e twech jolweny duto madirom ji alufu abiriyo, kaachiel gi joma olony kuom tich lwedo kod jogoro alufu achiel; giduto ne gin roteke moromo kedo.
and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
17 Ne oketo Matania, ma owadgi Jehoyakin mondo obed ruoth kare kendo noloko nyinge ni Zedekia.
And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
18 Zedekia ne ja-higni piero ariyo gachiel kane obedo ruoth, kendo nobedo e loch kodak Jerusalem kuom higni apar gachiel. Min mare ne nyinge Hamutal nyar Jeremia; ma aa Libna.
Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
19 Ne otimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka Jehoyakim notimo.
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 Magi duto notimore ne Jerusalem kod Juda nikech mirimb Jehova Nyasaye kendo giko to ne oriembogi oko e nyime. Koro Zedekia nongʼanyone ruodh Babulon modagi lochne.
For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
