Kings IV 24
1 In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him.
Nʼoge Jehoiakim na-achị, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn ji ike bata nʼala ya, mee ka Jehoiakim ghọọ ohu ya afọ atọ. Ma o mesịrị tụgharịa megide Nebukadneza, nupukwa isi nʼokpuru ya.
2 And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
Onyenwe anyị zigara ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe site na Kaldịa, Aram, Moab na ndị Amọn, ka ha ga bibie Juda. Ọ bụ nʼusoro okwu Onyenwe anyị kpọsara site nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya.
3 Moreover it was the purpose of the Lord concerning Juda, to remove them from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses, according to all that he did.
Nʼezie, ihe ndị a bịakwasịrị Juda dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya nʼiwu, ka o si otu a kpochapụ ha site nʼihu ya nʼihi mmehie niile Manase mere, na dịka ihe niile o mere si dị,
4 Moreover he shed innocent blood, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon [it].

5 And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
Akụkọ ọzọ niile gbasara ọchịchị Jehoiakim na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe e mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ndị eze Juda?
6 And Joakim slept with his fathers: and Joachim his son reigned in his stead.
Jehoiakim sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ. Jehoiakin nwa ya ghọrọ eze ọhụrụ nʼọnọdụ ya.
7 And the king of Egypt came no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon took away all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
Ma eze Ijipt esiteghị nʼala ya pụta ọzọ, nʼihi na eze Babilọn nọchiri oke ala ya niile, site na mmiri iyi Ijipt ruo nʼoke Osimiri Yufretis.
8 Eighteen years old [was] Joachim when he began to reign, an he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Nestha, daughter of Ellanastham, of Jerusalem.
Jehoiakin gbara afọ iri na asatọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị naanị ọnwa atọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Nehushta, nwa Elnatan, onye Jerusalem.
9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father did.
O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, dịka nna ya ha mere.
10 At that time went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Nʼoge ọ bụ eze, ndịisi Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn bịara, gbaa Jerusalem gburugburu ma nọchibido obodo ahụ nʼagha.
11 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn nʼonwe ya, bịara nʼobodo ahụ mgbe ndị agha ya gbara ya gburugburu.
12 And Joachim king of Juda came forth to the king of Babylon, he and his servants, and his mother, and his princes, and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
Jehoiakin, bụ eze Juda, na nne ya na ndị ọrụ ya niile na ndịisi niile na ndịisi ozi ya niile were onwe ha nyefee Nebukadneza nʼaka. Nʼafọ asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Babilọn ka ọ kpụụrụ Jehoiakin dịka onye mkpọrọ.
13 And he brought forth thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut up all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel [had] made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.
Ọ kwakọọrọ akụ niile dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na ndị nke dị nʼụlọeze, o gbukakwara ihe ọlaedo niile Solomọn eze Izrel tinyere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị buru ha bulaa Babilọn, ihe a niile mere dịka Onyenwe anyị kwururịị.
14 And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left.
O bupụkwara puku ndị ikom iri site na Jerusalem bulaa ha Babilọn dịka ndị a dọtara nʼagha. Ndị so nʼime ndị a bụ ndịisi niile na ndị agha niile. O bupụkwara ndị na-akwa ǹka niile na ndị ọkpụ ụzụ. Naanị ndị na-enweghị ike, na ndị ogbenye ka ọ hapụrụ nʼala ahụ.
15 And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Nebukadneza kpụụrụ Jehoiakin ka ọ ga biri na Babilọn. O sikwa na Jerusalem kpọrọ nne eze, na ndị nwunye eze, ndị ozi ya, na ndị niile a ma ama nʼala ahụ gaa Babilọn.
16 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.
Eze Babilọn bupụkwara ndị ikom niile dị ike ma tozukwaa ibu agha, ndị ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku asaa, tinyere otu puku ndị ọrụ aka, na ndị ọrụ ǹka, bulaa ha Babilọn.
17 And the king of Babylon made Batthanias his son king in his stead, and called his name Sedekias.
O mere nwanne nna Jehoiakin, bụ Matanaya, eze nʼọnọdụ ya. Ọ gụgharịrị ya aha, kpọọ ya Zedekaya.
18 Twenty and one years old [was] Sedekias when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital daughter of Jeremias.
Iri afọ abụọ na otu ka Zedekaya gbara mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze nʼime Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Hamutal, nwa Jeremaya onye Libna. Ọ chịrị dịka eze na Jerusalem afọ iri na otu.
19 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Joachim did.
Ma o mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Jehoiakim mere.
20 For it was according to the Lord's anger against Jerusalem and on Juda, until he cast them out of his presence, that Sedekias revolted against the king of Babylon.
Ọ bụ nʼihi iwe Onyenwe anyị ka ihe ndị a niile ji bịakwasị Jerusalem na Juda. Nʼikpeazụ, o sitere nʼihu ya chụpụ ha. Nʼoge a, Zedekaya nupuru isi nʼokpuru eze Babilọn.
