2 Kings 24
1 During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded. So Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years, until he turned and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
Pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yehoyakimu, Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anadzathira nkhondo dzikolo ndipo Yehoyakimu anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake zaka zitatu. Koma kenaka anasintha maganizo ake nawukira Nebukadinezara.
2 And the LORD sent Chaldean, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiders against Jehoiakim in order to destroy Judah, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servants the prophets.
Yehova anatumiza magulu a Ababuloni, Aaramu, Amowabu ndi Aamoni, kudzathira nkhondo Yuda. Iye anawatumiza kudzawononga Yuda molingana ndi mawu amene Yehova ananeneratu kudzera mwa aneneri ake.
3 Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command, to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done,
Ndithu, izi zinachitikira Yuda monga momwe Yehova analamulira nʼcholinga choti awachotse pamaso pake chifukwa cha machimo a Manase ndi zonse zimene anachita,
4 and also for the innocent blood he had shed. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was unwilling to forgive.
kuphatikizapo kukhetsa magazi a anthu osalakwa. Chifukwa iye anadzaza Yerusalemu ndi magazi a anthu osalakwa ndipo Yehova sanafune kumukhululukira.
5 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Ntchito zina za Yehoyakimu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
6 And Jehoiakim rested with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
Yehoyakimu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Yehoyakini mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
7 Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
Mfumu ya Igupto sinatulukenso mʼdziko lake chifukwa mfumu ya Babuloni inalanda mayiko onse kuchokera ku Mtsinje wa ku Igupto mpaka ku Mtsinje wa Yufurate.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.
Yehoyakini anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 18 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu miyezi itatu. Amayi ake anali Nehusita mwana wa Elinatani wa ku Yerusalemu.
9 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira abambo ake.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
Nthawi imeneyo ankhondo a Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anabwera ku Yerusalemu nazinga mzindawo ndi misasa ya nkhondo
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it.
ndipo Nebukadinezara anafika ku mzindawo pamene ankhondo ake anawuzinga.
12 Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials all surrendered to the king of Babylon. So in the eighth year of his reign, the king of Babylon took him captive.
Yehoyakini mfumu ya Yuda pamodzi ndi amayi ake, atumiki ake, anthu ake olemekezeka ndiponso akuluakulu onse anadzipereka kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Mfumu ya Babuloni inagwira Yoyakini ukapolo mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chitatu cha ufumu wake.
13 As the LORD had declared, Nebuchadnezzar also carried off all the treasures from the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD.
Monga ananenera Yehova, Nebukadinezara anachotsa chuma chonse cha mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndiponso cha mʼnyumba ya mfumu ndipo anatenga ziwiya zonse zagolide za ku Nyumba ya Yehova zimene Solomoni mfumu ya Israeli anapanga.
14 He carried into exile all Jerusalem—all the commanders and mighty men of valor, all the craftsmen and metalsmiths—ten thousand captives in all. Only the poorest people of the land remained.
Anatenga anthu onse a mu Yerusalemu kupita nawo ku ukapolo. Akuluakulu onse pamodzi ndi anthu ankhondo, anthu onse aluso ndi amisiri osula onse pamodzi analipo 10,000. Osauka okha ndiye anatsala mʼdzikomo.
15 Nebuchadnezzar carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, as well as the king’s mother, his wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land. He took them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Nebukadinezara anatenga Yehoyakini ngati kapolo kupita naye ku Babuloni. Mu Yerusalemu anatenganso amayi a mfumu, akazi ake, akuluakulu ake ndiponso anthu olemekezeka mʼdzikomo.
16 The king of Babylon also brought into exile to Babylon all seven thousand men of valor and a thousand craftsmen and metalsmiths—all strong and fit for battle.
Mfumu ya Babuloni inatumizanso ku Babuloni anthu ankhondo 70,000, anthu amphamvu ndi okonzeka kupita ku nkhondo, anthu aluso ndi amisiri osula 1,000.
17 Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Iye analonga ufumu Mataniya, malume wa Yoyakini mʼmalo mwake ndipo anasintha dzina lake kuti akhale Zedekiya.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
Zedekiya anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 21 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 11. Amayi ake anali Hamutali mwana wa Yeremiya wa ku Libina.
19 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Yehoyakimu.
20 For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Zonsezi zinachitikira Yerusalemu ndi Yuda chifukwa cha mkwiyo wa Mulungu ndipo pa mapeto pake anawachotsa pamaso pake. Ndipo Zedekiya anawukira mfumu ya Babuloni.
