2 Ruodhi 25
1 Omiyo e odiechiengʼ mar apar mar dwe mar apar e higa mar ochiko mar loch Zedekia, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nodhi gi jolweny mage duto momonjo Jerusalem. Nolworo dala maduongʼno mi ogoyone agengʼa koni gi koni.
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 king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 Dala maduongʼno ne ogone agengʼa nyaka higa mar apar gachiel mar ruoth Zedekia.
So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 E odiechiengʼ mar ochiko e dwe mar angʼwen kech mane ni e dala maduongʼno nomedore makoro ne onge chiemo mane ji nyalo chamo.
On the ninth day of the [fourth] month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Bangʼ mano ohinga mar dala maduongʼno nomuki kendo jolweny duto noringo ka tony gotieno ka gikalo e rangach man e kind ohinga ariyo man but puoth ruoth, kata obedo ni jo-Babulon nolworo dala maduongʼno kamano. Negiringo ka gichomo Araba,
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about); and [the king] went by the way of the Arabah.
5 to jolwenj Babulon nolawo ruoth mojuke e pewe Jeriko. Jolwenje duto noringo oweye moke,
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
6 kendo gimako ruoth. Ne gitere Ribla ir ruodh Babulon, kendo kanyo ema nongʼadne buch twech.
Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 Neginego yawuot Zedekia e wangʼe koneno. Bangʼe negigolo wengene oko magitweye gi nyoroche mag nyinyo mi gitere Babulon.
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 E odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo mar dwe mar abich e higa mar apar gochiko mar loch Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, Nebuzaradan jatend jolweny marito ruoth, ma en achiel kuom jodong ruodh Babulon nobiro Jerusalem.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.
9 Nowangʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kar dak ruoth kod udi duto man Jerusalem. Bende nowangʼo udi duto moger mabeyo.
And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.
10 Jolweny duto mag Babulon mane ichiko gi jatend jolweny marito ruoth ne omuko ohinga moluoro Jerusalem.
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were [with] the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Nebuzaradan jatend jolweny notero e twech joma nodongʼ e dala maduongʼno, kaachiel gi oganda mamoko kod joma noringo modhi ir ruodh Babulon mondo otony.
And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.
12 To jatend lweny noweyo jopinyno moko mane odhier ahinya mondo oti e puothe mag mzabibu kod puothe mamoko.
But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 Jo-Babulon nomuko sirni mag mula, rachungi mag taya kod Karaya Maduongʼ mar mula mane ni e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ne gitero mulago nyaka Babulon.
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Bende negikawo agulni, opawo, gir ngʼado otambi mar taya, bakunde kod gik moko duto molos gi mula mane itiyogo e hekalu.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 Jatend jolweny marito ruoth nokawo gik moko duto molos gi dhahabu kata fedha ma gin gima iwangʼoe ubani kod bakunde mitimogo misengini.
And the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 Mula mane ogolo e sirni ariyo, gi Karaya Maduongʼ kod rachungi mag taya, mane Solomon olosone hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, ne pek ma ok nyal pim.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Siro ka siro borne ne romo fut piero ariyo gabiriyo. Mula mane ni e ewi siro ka siro ne romo fut angʼwen gi nus, kendo nokede gi gik mongʼinore ongʼinore molwore koni gi koni. Siro machielo man-gi gik mongʼinore ongʼinore, ne chal kod mokwongo.
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with network.
18 Jatend jolweny marito ruoth nomako Seraya jadolo maduongʼ, gi Zefania jadolo maluwe kod ji adek ma jorit dhoot hekalu moterogi e twech.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:
19 To kuom joma ne odongʼ e dala maduongʼno, nomako jatelo mane ochungʼ ne jolweny kod ji abich ma jongʼad rieko ne ruoth. Bende nomako jagoro mane tichne en ndiko nying joma onego bed jolweny kod jodonge piero auchiel mane oyudi e dala maduongʼno.
and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.
20 Nebuzaradan jatend lweny nomakogi duto mokelogi Ribla ir ruodh Babulon.
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 Ruoth nogolo chik mondo neg-gi Ribla kanyo, e piny jo-Hamath. Omiyo Juda noter e twech mabor gi pinye owuon.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon noyiero Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan mondo otel ne ji mane odongʼ Juda.
And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
23 Kane jatend jolweny duto kod jogi nowinjo ni ruodh Babulon oseyiero Gedalia kaka jatelo maduongʼ, negibiro ir Gedalia e dala miluongo ni Mizpa. Jogo ne gin Ishmael wuod Nethania, Johanan wuod Karea, Seraya wuod Tanhumeth ja-Netofath, Jazania ja-Maakath kod jogegi.
Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 Gedalia nokwongʼore kosingorenegi niya, “Kik uluor jotend Babulon, to daguru e pinyni kendo mondo uti ne ruodh Babulon eka unudhi maber.”
And Gedaliah sware to them and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Kata kamano, e dwe mar abiriyo Ishmael wuod Nethania, ma wuod Elishama mane koth joka ruoth, nobiro gi ji apar ma ginego Gedalia kod jo-Juda gi jo-Babulon mane ni kode Mizpa.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
26 Nikech gima notimoreni, ji duto chakre jochan nyaka joma omewo, to gi jotend jolweny duto, noringo modhi Misri nikech negiluoro jo-Babulon.
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 E higa mar piero adek gabiriyo mar twech Jehoyakin ruodh Juda, e higa mane Evil-Merodak obedo ruodh Babulon, nogonyo Jehoyakin e twech e odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo gabiriyo, e dwe mar apar gariyo.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 Nowuoyo kode modembore kendo nomiye kom duongʼ moloyo ruodhi mamoko mane ni kode e twech Babulon.
and he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
29 Omiyo Jehoyakin nolonyo lepe mag twech kendo e ndalo ngimane duto ne ochiemo pile pile e mesa ruoth.
and changed his prison garments. And [Jehoiachin] did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life:
30 Odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, ruoth ne miyo Jehoyakin pok mowinjore kode ndalo duto mag ngimane.
and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
