2 Kings 25
1 Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.
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.
2 And the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Dala maduongʼno ne ogone agengʼa nyaka higa mar apar gachiel mar ruoth Zedekia.
3 Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
E odiechiengʼ mar ochiko e dwe mar angʼwen kech mane ni e dala maduongʼno nomedore makoro ne onge chiemo mane ji nyalo chamo.
4 So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
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,
5 But the Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
to jolwenj Babulon nolawo ruoth mojuke e pewe Jeriko. Jolwenje duto noringo oweye moke,
6 And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.
kendo gimako ruoth. Ne gitere Ribla ir ruodh Babulon, kendo kanyo ema nongʼadne buch twech.
7 And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.
Neginego yawuot Zedekia e wangʼe koneno. Bangʼe negigolo wengene oko magitweye gi nyoroche mag nyinyo mi gitere Babulon.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
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.
9 And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;
Nowangʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kar dak ruoth kod udi duto man Jerusalem. Bende nowangʼo udi duto moger mabeyo.
10 And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
Jolweny duto mag Babulon mane ichiko gi jatend jolweny marito ruoth ne omuko ohinga moluoro Jerusalem.
11 And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;
Nebuzaradan jatend jolweny notero e twech joma nodongʼ e dala maduongʼno, kaachiel gi oganda mamoko kod joma noringo modhi ir ruodh Babulon mondo otony.
12 But he let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.
To jatend lweny noweyo jopinyno moko mane odhier ahinya mondo oti e puothe mag mzabibu kod puothe mamoko.
13 And the brass pillars in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases, and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took the brass to Babylon.
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.
14 And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
Bende negikawo agulni, opawo, gir ngʼado otambi mar taya, bakunde kod gik moko duto molos gi mula mane itiyogo e hekalu.
15 And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.
Jatend jolweny marito ruoth nokawo gik moko duto molos gi dhahabu kata fedha ma gin gima iwangʼoe ubani kod bakunde mitimogo misengini.
16 The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
17 One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
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.
18 And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
Jatend jolweny marito ruoth nomako Seraya jadolo maduongʼ, gi Zefania jadolo maluwe kod ji adek ma jorit dhoot hekalu moterogi e twech.
19 And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
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.
20 These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Nebuzaradan jatend lweny nomakogi duto mokelogi Ribla ir ruodh Babulon.
21 And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his land.
Ruoth nogolo chik mondo neg-gi Ribla kanyo, e piny jo-Hamath. Omiyo Juda noter e twech mabor gi pinye owuon.
22 As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon noyiero Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan mondo otel ne ji mane odongʼ Juda.
23 Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; 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, came with all their men.
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.
24 Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
Gedalia nokwongʼore kosingorenegi niya, “Kik uluor jotend Babulon, to daguru e pinyni kendo mondo uti ne ruodh Babulon eka unudhi maber.”
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.
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.
26 Then all the people, small and great, and the captains of the forces, got up and went away to Egypt, for fear of the Chaldaeans.
Nikech gima notimoreni, ji duto chakre jochan nyaka joma omewo, to gi jotend jolweny duto, noringo modhi Misri nikech negiluoro jo-Babulon.
27 And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison;
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.
28 And said kind words to him, and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Nowuoyo kode modembore kendo nomiye kom duongʼ moloyo ruodhi mamoko mane ni kode e twech Babulon.
29 And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.
Omiyo Jehoyakin nolonyo lepe mag twech kendo e ndalo ngimane duto ne ochiemo pile pile e mesa ruoth.
30 And for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day for the rest of his life.
Odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, ruoth ne miyo Jehoyakin pok mowinjore kode ndalo duto mag ngimane.
