2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up, and Joakim became his servant three years: then again he rebelled against him.
Mu biro ebyo, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’alumba, era n’afuula Yekoyakimu omuddu we okumala emyaka esatu. Naye Yekoyakimu oluvannyuma n’ajeema, n’akola olutalo ku Nebukadduneeza.
2 And the Lord sent against him the rovers of the Chaldees, and the rovers of Syria, and the rovers of Moab, and the rovers of the children of Ammon: and he sent them against Juda, to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by his servants the prophets.
Awo Mukama n’asindikira Yekoyakimu ebibinja by’Abakaludaaya, n’Abasuuli, n’Abamowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’abatuma okulumba Yuda, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama kye yayogerera mu baweereza be bannabbi bwe kyali.
3 And this came by the word of the Lord against Juda, to remove them from before him for all the sins of Manasses which he did.
Era ddala ebyo by’atuukirira ku Yuda ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama bwe kyali, okubaggya mu maaso ge olw’ebibi bya Manase n’ebirala byonna bye yakola,
4 And for the innocent blood that he shed, filling Jerusalem with innocent blood: and therefore the Lord would not be appeased.
ng’okwo kwe kuli okuyiwa omusaayi ogutaliiko musango. Yajjuza Yerusaalemi n’omusaayi ogutaliiko musango, Mukama kye yali tagenda kusonyiwa.
5 But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers:
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyaliwo ku mulembe gwa Yekoyakimu ne byonna bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
6 And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.
Awo Yekoyakimu n’afa, mutabani we Yekoyakini n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his own country: for the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates.
Kabaka w’e Misiri teyava nate mu nsi ye, kubanga kabaka w’e Babulooni yali awambye ebibye byonna okuviira ddala ku mukutu gw’Omugga ogw’e Misiri oguyiwa ku Nnyanja Ennene okutuuka ku Mugga Fulaati.
8 Joachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, a and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Nohesta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Yekoyakini we yafuukira kabaka yalina emyaka kkumi na munaana, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyezi esatu. Nnyina erinnya lye yali Nekusita muwala wa Erunasani ow’e Yerusaalemi.
9 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that his father had done.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga kitaawe bwe yakola.
10 At that time the servants of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was surrounded with their forts.
Mu biro ebyo eggye lya Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni ne lirumba ekibuga ky’e Yerusaalemi, ne kizingizibwa.
11 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came to the city with his servants to assault it.
Nebukadduneeza yennyini n’ajja mu kibuga, ng’eggye lye likyakizingizza.
12 And Joachin king of Juda went out to the king of Babylon, he and his mother, and his servants, and his nobles, and his eunuchs: and the king of Babylon received him in the eighth year of his reign.
Awo Yekoyakini kabaka wa Yuda, ne nnyina, n’abaddu ba kabaka, n’abakungu be, n’abaami be bonna ne beewaayo eri kabaka w’e Babulooni mu mwaka gwe ogw’omunaana bukya alya bwakabaka, era Yekoyakini n’atwalibwa nga musibe.
13 And he brought out from thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king’s house: and he cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.
Era mu kiseera kye kimu, Nebukadduneeza n’atwala eby’obugagga byonna okuva mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’okuva mu lubiri lwa kabaka, era n’atemaatema ebibya byonna ebya zaabu, Sulemaani kabaka wa Isirayiri bye yali akoze ng’abitadde mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira.
14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the valiant men of the army, to the number of ten thousand into captivity: and every artificer and smith: and none were left, but the poor sort of the people of the land.
N’atwala Yerusaalemi kyonna, n’abakungu bonna, n’abasajja abalwanyi bonna, ne baffundi bonna n’abaweesi bonna mu buwaŋŋanguse, awamu ne bawera abantu ng’omutwalo gumu. Abasemberayo ddala obwavu be yalekamu bokka.
15 And he carried away Joachin into Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his eunuchs: and the judges of the land he carried into captivity from Jerusalem into Babylon.
Nebukadduneeza n’atwala Yekoyakini e Babulooni nga musibe okuva mu Yerusaalemi, era n’atwala ne nnyina, ne bakyala ba kabaka, n’abakungu be, n’abaami abaali ab’ekitiibwa mu nsi.
16 And all the strong men, seven thousand, and the artificers, and the smiths a thousand, all that were valiant men and fit for war: and the king of Babylon led them captives into Babylon.
Ate era yawamba abasajja ab’amaanyi kasanvu, ne baffundi n’abaweesi lukumi, bonna n’abatwala e Babulooni nga basibe.
17 And he appointed Matthanias his uncle in his stead: and called his name Sedecias.
Nebukadduneeza n’addira Mataniya kitaawe wa Yekoyakini omuto, n’amufuula kabaka, era n’amukyusa n’erinnya n’amutuuma Zeddekiya.
18 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.
Zeddekiya we yafuukira kabaka yalina emyaka amakumi abiri mu gumu, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi emyaka kkumi na gumu. Nnyina erinnya lye yali Kamutali muwala wa Yeremiya ow’e Libuna.
19 And he did evil before the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga Yekoyakini bwe yakola.
20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Juda, till he cast them out from his face: and Sedecias revolted from the king of Babylon.
Ebyo byonna ebyatuuka ku Yerusaalemi ne ku Yuda, byabaawo olw’obusungu bwa Mukama obwababubuukirako, era n’oluvannyuma n’abagoba mu maaso ge. Naye oluvannyuma Zeddekiya y’ajeemera kabaka w’e Babulooni.
