2 Kings 25
1 Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
Na i te iwa o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te tekau o nga marama i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ka tae mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a ia me tana ope katoa, ki Hiruharama, a nohoia ana e ia a reira; a hanga ana e ratou etahi taumaihi mo re ira a tawhio noa.
2 And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
Heoi ka whakapaea te pa a tae noa ki te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Kingi Terekia.
3 on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.
I te iwa o nga ra o te wha o nga marama he nui te matekai o te pa, a kahore he taro ma nga tangata o te whenua.
4 And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.
Katahi ka wahia te pa, a rere ana nga tangata whawhai katoa i te po na te ara o te kuwaha i waenganui o nga taiepa e rua, na tera i te kari a te kingi; he mea karapoti hoki te pa e nga Karari; ko te kingi i haere na te Arapa.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
Otiia i whai te ope a nga Karari i te kingi, a ka mau ia ki nga mania i Heriko: a ko tana ope katoa i marara noa atu i a ia.
6 Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
Na ka mau i a ratou te kingi, ka kawea ki te kingi o Papurona ki Ripira; a ka korerotia te whakawa mona.
7 Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.
Na ka whakamatea e ratou nga tama a Terekia i tona aroaro, whakamatapotia iho nga kanohi o Terekia, a herea ana ia ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
8 In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
I te rima o nga marama, i te whitu o nga ra o te marama, ara i te tekau ma iwa o nga tau o Kingi Nepukaneha, kingi o Papurona, ka haere mai a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, he tangata na te kingi o Papurona, ki Hiruharama.
9 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
Na ka tahuna e ia te whare o Ihowa, me te whare o te kingi, me nga whare katoa o Hiruharama, tae noa ki nga whare nunui katoa; tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi.
10 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
Wahia iho hoki nga taiepa o Hiruharama a whawhe noa e te ope katoa o nga Karari, i haere mai nei ratou ko te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
11 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
Na, ko te morehu o te iwi i mahue i te pa, me te hunga i papahoro atu, i taka atu ra ki te kingi o Papurona, me nga toenga atu o taua huihui, i whakahekea e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
12 But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
I waiho ia e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki etahi o nga rawakore o te whenua hei kaimahi waina, hei kaimahi whenua.
13 Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.
Na, ko nga pou parahi i te whare o Ihowa, me nga turanga, me te moana parahi i te whare o Ihowa, wawahia ana e nga Karari, a maua atu ana e ratou te parahi o aua mea ki Papurona.
14 Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
I maua atu ano e ratou nga pata, me nga koko pungarehu, me nga kuku, me nga koko, me nga oko parahi katoa mo a ratou mahi tapu.
15 And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
Ko nga oko ngarahu ano, ko nga peihana; ko nga mea koura, ko nga mea hiriwa, tena he koura, tena he hiriwa, tangohia ake e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
16 and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.
Ko nga pou e rua, ko te moana kotahi, me nga turanga e rua i hanga e Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa; kahore he paunatanga o te parahi o enei oko katoa.
17 One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
Ko te tiketike o tetahi o nga pou kotahi tekau ma waru nga whatianga, he parahi te whakapaipai o runga: a ko te tiketike o te whakapaipai e toru nga whatianga; he parahi katoa te mea i whiria, me nga pamekaranete o te whakapaipai a whawhe noa: r ite tonu hoki ki enei to te rua o nga pou, he mea whiri ano tona.
18 Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,
I tangohia ano e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki a Heraia, te tino tohunga, ratou ko te tohunga tuarua, ko Tepania, ko nga kaitiaki tokotoru o te kuwaha.
19 and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
I tangohia ano e ia i te pa tetahi kaiwhakahaere, ko te rangatira o nga tangata whawhai; tokorima o nga tangata no te aroaro pu ake o te kingi, he hunga i rokohanga ki roto ki te pa: me te kaituhituhi, ara te rangatira o te ope, te kaihuihui i n ga tangata o te whenua; me nga tangata e ono tekau o te iwi o te whenua i rokohanga e ia ki roto ki te pa.
20 Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Na ka mau a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a ratou, kawea ana ki te kingi o Papurona, ki Ripira.
21 And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.
Na patua ana ratou e te kingi o Papurona, whakamatea ana ki Ripira, ki te whenua o Hamata. Heoi whakahekea atu ana a Hura i tona oneone.
22 But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
Na, ko te hunga i mahue ki te whenua o Hura, ko nga mea i mahue i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, meinga ana e ia ko Keraria tama a Ahikama tama a Hapana hei kawana mo ratou.
23 And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went 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 a Maacathite, they and their companions.
Na, i te rongonga o nga rangatira ope katoa, o ratou ko a ratou tangata, kua meinga e te kingi o Papurona a Keraria hei kawana, ka haere mai ratou ki a Keraria ki Mihipa, ara a Ihimaera tama a Netania, a Iohanana tama a Karea, a Heraia tama a Ta nahumete Netopati, a Iaatania tama a tetahi Maakati, me a ratou tangata.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
Na ka oati a Keraria ki a ratou, ki a ratou tangata hoki, ka mea ki a ratou, Kaua e wehi, he mea mo nga pononga o nga Karari: e noho i te whenua, e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona, a ka whai pai koutou.
25 But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Otiia i te whitu o nga marama ka haere mai a Ihimaera tama a Netania tama a Erihama, he momo kingi, ratou ko ona hoa, katohi tekau tangata, a patua iho a Keraria, mate rawa, ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga Hurai, ko nga Karari, i Mihipa.
26 And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
Na ka whakatika te iwi katoa, te iti me te rahi, ratou ko nga rangatira ope, a haere ana ki Ihipa, i wehi hoki ratou i nga Karari.
27 Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.
Na, i te toru tekau ma whitu o nga tau o te whakahekenga atu o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura, i te tekau ma rua o nga marama, i te rua tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, ka whakaarahia e Ewiri, Meroraka kingi o Papurona, i te tau i kingi ai ia, te m atenga o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura i roto i te whare herehere.
28 And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
A he pai ana korero ki a ia, nekehia ake ana e ia tona torona ki runga ake i nga torona o nga kingi i tona taha i Papurona.
29 And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
Ko nga kakahu o tona hereherenga i whakawhitia e ia; a kai taro ana ia i tona aroaro i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
30 Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
A ko te wahi mana, he mea pumau, he mea homai e te kingi ki a ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra, i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
