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.
In his days came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and Jehoyakim became his servant for three years: and then he returned and 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 against him predatory bands of the Chaldeans, and predatory bands of the Syrians, and predatory bands of the Moabites, and predatory bands of the children of 'Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of 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,
But only at the order of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove the same out of his sight, for the sins of Menasseh, in accordance with all that he had done;
4 kaachiel gichwero remo maonge ketho. Jehova Nyasaye ne ok oikore mar weyone richone nikech nosechwero remo maonge ketho mopongʼogo Jerusalem.
And also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; wherefore the Lord would not pardon.
5 Kuom gik mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Jehoyakim kod gik moko duto mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitepe mag weche ruodhi mag Juda?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
6 Jehoyakim notho moyweyo gi kwerene, kendo Jehoyakin wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And Jehoyakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.
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 came no more again out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that had pertained to the king of Egypt.
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.
Eighteen years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Nechushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Notimo timbe maricho e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka wuon mare notimo.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as 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 came up against Jerusalem, and the city was put in a state of siege.
11 kendo Nebukadneza owuon nobiro nyaka dala maduongʼ ka jodonge olworo dala maduongʼno.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging 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 Jehoyachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his court-officers: and the king of Babylon took him [captive] 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 carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon the king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had spoken.
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 led away as exiles all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand exiles, and all the craftsmen and locksmiths: there was none left, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
15 Nebukadneza notero Jehoyakin e twech Babulon, kaachiel gi min ruoth, monde, jodonge kod jodong gwengʼ kogologi Jerusalem.
And he led away Jehoyachin as exile to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his court-officers, and the mighty men of the land, he led into exile 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 men of might, seven thousand [in number], and the craftsmen and the locksmiths a thousand [in number], all strong men, apt for war; and the king of Babylon brought them into exile to Babylon.
17 Ne oketo Matania, ma owadgi Jehoyakin mondo obed ruoth kare kendo noloko nyinge ni Zedekia.
And the king of Babylon made Mattanyah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
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.
Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Ne otimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka Jehoyakim notimo.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as Jehoyakim 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 through the anger of the Lord it occurred in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
