< 2 Kings 25 >
1 And in the ninth yeere of his reigne, the tenth moneth and tenth day of the moneth Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came, he, and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and they built fortes against it round about it.
Awo Zeddekiya nga yakafugira emyaka mwenda, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’eggye lye lyonna ne balumba Yerusaalemi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi; ne basiisira ebweru waakyo, ne bakizimbako ebigo okukyetooloola.
2 So the citie was besieged vnto the eleueth yeere of King Zedekiah.
Awo ekibuga ne kizingizibwa okumala emyaka ebiri nga Zeddekiya y’akyali kabaka.
3 And the ninth day of the moneth the famine was sore in the citie, so that there was no bread for the people of the lande.
Ku lunaku olw’omwenda mu mwezi ogwokuna enjala n’eba nnyingi nnyo mu kibuga, abantu ab’omu nsi ne babulwako n’emmere ey’okulya.
4 Then the citie was broken vp, and all the men of warre fled by night, by the way of the gate, which is betweene two walles that was by the Kings garden: nowe the Caldees were by the citie round about: and the King went by the way of the wildernesse.
Awo kabaka n’eggye lye lyonna abaali mu kibuga ne bawagula mu bbugwe ekituli, ekiro, ne badduka nga bayita mu mulyango ogwaliraananga ennimiro ya kabaka ne bayita ne ku Bakaludaaya abaali bazingizza ekibuga enjuuyi zonna.
5 But the armie of the Caldees pursued after the King, and tooke him in the desertes of Iericho, and all his hoste was scattered from him.
Naye eggye ly’Abakaludaaya ne bagoberera kabaka, okutuusa lwe bamukwatira mu nsenyi ez’e Yeriko n’eggye lye lyonna ne lisaasaana okumwabulira.
6 Then they tooke the King, and caried him vp to the King of Babel to Riblah, where they gaue iudgement vpon him.
Ne bawamba kabaka, ne bamuleeta eri kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libula gye yasalirwa omusango.
7 And they slew the sonnes of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bounde him in chaines, and caried him to Babel.
Ne battira batabani ba Zeddekiya mu maaso ge, ne bamuggyamu amaaso, ne bamuteeka mu masamba, n’atwalibwa e Babulooni.
8 And in the fift moneth, and seuenth day of the moneth, which was the nineteenth yere of King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, came Nebuzar-adan chiefe stewarde and seruaunt of the King of Babel, to Ierusalem,
Awo ku lunaku olw’omusanvu mu mwezi ogwokutaano mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omwenda ogw’obwakabaka bwa Nebukadduneeza, kabaka w’e Babulooni, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi ow’eggye lya kabaka ery’oku ntikko, ate nga mwami wa kabaka w’e Babulooni n’ajja mu Yerusaalemi.
9 And burnt the house of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.
N’ayokya yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olubiri lwa kabaka, n’ennyumba zonna na buli kizimbe ekikulu era nga kya muwendo mu Yerusaalemi.
10 And all the armie of the Caldees that were with the chiefe stewarde, brake downe the walles of Ierusalem round about.
Awo eggye lyonna ery’Abakaludaaya nga bakulemberwa omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko, ne bamenya bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi.
11 And the rest of the people that were left in the citie, and those that were fled and fallen to the King of Babel, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward carie away captiue.
Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’atwala abantu bonna abaali basigaddewo mu kibuga, mu buwaŋŋanguse nga basibe, n’abaali baasenga kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’abalala bonna abaali mu kibuga.
12 But the chiefe steward left of the poore of the land to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
Wabula yalekamu abaali basemberayo ddala obwavu mu nsi eyo, okulabiriranga emizabbibu n’okulimanga.
13 Also the pillars of brasse that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea that was in the house of the Lord, did the Caldees breake, and caried the brasse of them to Babel.
Abakaludaaya ne bamenyaamenya empagi ez’ebikomo n’ebyuma ebyawaniriranga ennyanja ey’ekikomo, n’ennyanja ey’ekikomo, ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebikomo byamu ne babitwala e Babulooni.
14 The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musike, and the incense dishes, and al the vessels of brasse that they ministred in, tooke they away.
Era baatwala n’entamu, n’ebisena, n’ebisalako ebisirinza, n’ebijiiko n’ebintu byonna eby’ekikomo ebyakozesebwanga mu yeekaalu.
15 And the asshe pannes, and the basens, and all that was of gold, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,
Omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’atwala n’ebyoterezo wamu n’ebibya ebyali ebya zaabu n’ebyali ebya ffeeza.
16 With the two pillars, one Sea and the bases, which Salomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
Ekikomo ekyava mu mpagi ebbiri, ne mu nnyanja, ne mu byuma ebyawaniriranga ennyanja ey’ekikomo, Sulemaani bye yakolera yeekaalu ya Mukama, obuzito bwakyo nga tebumanyiddwa.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteene cubits, and the chapiter thereon was brasse, and the height of the chapiter was with networke three cubites, and pomegranates vpon the chapiter rounde about, all of brasse: and likewise was the second pillar with the networke.
Buli mpagi obugulumivu yali mita munaana ne desimoolo emu ne ku mutwe gwayo nga kuliko ekikomo ng’obugulumivu bwakyo mita emu ne desimoolo ssatu, nga kitoneddwatoneddwa n’ebifaananyi n’amakomamawanga ag’ekikomo okukyetooloola. N’empagi eyookubiri yali ekoleddwa mu ngeri y’emu.
18 And the chiefe steward tooke Seraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the second Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.
Omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’atwala nga basibe: Seraya kabona Asinga obukulu, n’omumyuka we Zeffaniya, n’abaggazi abasatu.
19 And out of the citie hee tooke an Eunuch that had the ouersight of the men of warre, and fiue men of them that were in the Kinges presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captaine of the hoste, who mustred the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the lande, that were founde in the citie.
Era yatwala n’omukungu eyaduumiranga abasajja abalwanyi, n’abakungu abalala bataano abatuulanga ku lukiiko lwa kabaka; era n’atwala n’omuwandiisi omukulu eyavunaanyizibwanga okuyingizanga abantu mu magye mu nsi ya Yuda, n’abasajja abannansi nkaaga abaasangibwa mu kibuga.
20 And Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the King of Babel to Riblah.
Abo bonna Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’abatwalira kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libula.
21 And the King of Babel smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne land.
Kabaka w’e Babulooni n’abattira eyo e Libula, mu nsi y’e Kamasi. Bw’atyo Yuda n’atwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse nga musibe, okuva mu nsi ye.
22 Howbeit there remained people in the land of Iudah, whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel left, and made Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan ruler ouer them.
Awo Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’alonda Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, muzzukulu wa Safani okuba omukulembeze w’abo abaali basigaddewo mu Yuda.
23 Then when all the captaines of the host and their men heard, that the king of Babel had made Gedaliah gouernour, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, to wit, Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Seraiah the sonne of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Iaazaniah the sonne of Maachathi, they and their men.
Awo abakungu ab’eggye n’abasajja abalala bwe baawulira nga kabaka w’e Babulooni alonze Gedaliya okuba omukulembeze, ne bagenda eri Gedaliya e Mizupa. Abasajja abakungu abo baali Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, ne Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya, ne Seraya mutabani wa Tanukumesi Omunetofa, ne Yaazaniya mutabani w’Omumaakasi.
24 And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and sayd vnto them, Feare not to be the seruants of the Caldees: dwell in the land, and serue the King of Babel, and ye shalbe well.
Gedaliya n’abalayirira bo n’abasajja baabwe n’abagamba nti, “Temutya bakungu Bakaludaaya, naye mutereere mu nsi muweereze kabaka w’e Babulooni kale ebintu byonna binaabagendera bulungi.”
25 But in the seuenth moneth Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah the sonne of Elishama of the Kings seede, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, and he died, and so did he the Iewes, and the Caldees that were with him at Mizpah.
Naye mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, muzzukulu wa Erisaama ow’olulyo olulangira n’ajja n’abasajja kkumi, n’alumba Gedaliya era n’amutta, awamu n’Abayudaaya; n’Abakaludaaya abaali awamu naye e Mizupa nabo n’abatta.
26 Then all ye people both small and great, and the captaines of the armie arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraide of the Caldees.
Awo abantu bonna okuviira ddala ku wawansi okutuukira ddala ku w’eddaala erya waggulu, n’abamaggye abakulu bonna, ne baddukira e Misiri, nga batidde Abakaludaaya.
27 Notwithstanding in the seuen and thirtieth yeere after Iehoiachin King of Iudah was caried away, in the twelft moneth and the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel in the yeere that hee began to reigne, did lift vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah out of the prison,
Awo Yekoyakini kabaka wa Yuda nga yakamala emyaka amakumi asatu mu musanvu mu buwaŋŋanguse mu busibe, nga Evirumerodaki kyajje afuuke kabaka w’e Babulooni, Evirumerodaki n’ata Yekoyakini kabaka wa Yuda okuva mu kkomera ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri.
28 And spake kindly to him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings that were with him in Babel,
N’ayogera naye ebigambo ebyekisa, n’amuwa n’ekitiibwa ekya waggulu okusinga ne bakabaka abalala abaali awamu naye mu buwaŋŋanguse mu busibe e Babulooni.
29 And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eate bread before him, all the dayes of his life.
Awo Yekoyakini n’aggyamu ebyambalo bye eby’ekkomera n’aliiranga wamu ne kabaka w’e Babulooni ku mmeeza ya kabaka ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe.
30 And his portion was a continual portion giuen him by the King, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life.
Kabaka n’awanga Yekoyakini omugabo ogwa buli lunaku ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe.
