2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come up, and Jehoiakim is a servant to him [for] three years; and he turns and rebels against him,
Le Fia Yehoyakim ƒe fiaɖuɖu me la, Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar va dze anyigba la dzi eye Yehoyakim va zu etenɔla ƒe etɔ̃. Le esia megbe la, etrɔ susu eye wòdze aglã ɖe Nebukadnezar ŋu.
2 and YHWH sends against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sends them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of His servants the prophets;
Yehowa ɖo adzohawo ɖa tso Kaldeatɔwo, Siriatɔwo, Moabtɔwo kple Amonitɔwo dome be woatsrɔ̃ dukɔ la abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe to eƒe Nyagblɔɖilawo dzi be yeawɔ ene.
3 only, by the command of YHWH it has been against Judah to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
Nu siawo dzɔ ɖe Yuda dzi le Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo nu ale be yeaɖe wo ɖa le yeƒe ŋkume le Manase ƒe nu vɔ̃ kple nu siwo katã wòwɔ la ta.
4 and also the innocent blood that he has shed, and he fills Jerusalem with innocent blood, and YHWH was not willing to forgive.
Nu siawoe nye ʋu maɖifɔwo kɔkɔ ɖi elabena ekɔ ʋu maɖifɔ geɖewo ɖi le Yerusalem eye Yehowa medi be yeatsɔ nu vɔ̃ sia akee o.
5 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Woŋlɔ Yehoyakim ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
6 And Jehoiakim lies with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigns in his stead.
Esi Yehoyakim ku la, via Yehoyatsin ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
7 And the king of Egypt has not added anymore to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon has taken, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River, all that had been to the king of Egypt.
Egipte fia Farao megatrɔ gbɔ emegbe o elabena Babilonia fia yi ɖanɔ anyigba si Egipte fia gblɔ be enye ye tɔ la dzi. Teƒe siawo nye Yudanyigba blibo la tso Egipte tɔsisi la to yi ɖatɔ Frat tɔsisi la.
8 Jehoiachin [is] a son of eighteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
Yehoyatsin xɔ ƒe wuienyi esi wòzu fia; eɖu fia le Yerusalem ɣleti etɔ̃. Dadae nye Nehusta, Elnatan ƒe vinyɔnu. Etso Yerusalem
9 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume abe ale si fofoa wɔ ene.
10 At that time servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon have come up to Jerusalem, and the city goes into siege,
Esi Yehoyakin nye fia la, Babilonia fia Nebukadnezar ƒe asrafowo ɖe to ɖe Yerusalem.
11 and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes against the city, and his servants are laying siege to it,
Esi woɖe to ɖe dua vɔ la, Nebukadnezar ŋutɔ va ɖo Yerusalem,
12 and Jehoiachin king of Judah goes out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon takes him in the eighth year of his reign,
eye Yuda fia, Yehoyatsin, viawo, eƒe aɖaŋudelawo, sãmedɔwɔlawo kple fia dada na ta. Nebukadnezar lɔ̃ ɖe tanana la dzi eye wòlé Fia Yehoyatsin yi ɖade gaxɔ me le Babilonia le Nebukadnezar ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe enyilia me.
13 and brings out from there all the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cuts in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of YHWH, as YHWH had spoken.
Babiloniatɔwo lɔ kesinɔnuwo katã tso gbedoxɔ la kple fiasã la me hekpe ɖe sikagba siwo katã Israel fia, Solomo, da ɖe gbedoxɔ la me ŋu le Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo nu.
14 And he has removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty men of valor—ten thousand [is] the expulsion—and every craftsman and smith; none has been left except the poor of the people of the land.
Fia Nebukadnezar ɖe aboyo ame akpe ewo tso Yerusalem. Fiaŋumewo katã kple asrafo nyuitɔwo kple aɖaŋudɔwɔlawo kple nutala nyuitɔwo hã nɔ aboyomeawo dome. Ale ame siwo menya dɔwɔna aɖeke tututu o la ko wogblẽ ɖe anyigba la dzi.
15 And he removes Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land—he has caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Fia Nebukadnezar kplɔ Fia Yehoyatsin, srɔ̃awo kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo kple dadaa yi Babilonia.
16 and all the men of valor, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths, one thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon brings them in a captivity to Babylon.
Ekplɔ asrafo nyuitɔ akpe adre kpe ɖe aɖaŋudɔwɔla kple nutala akpe ɖeka ŋu. Ame siawo katã nye ame sesẽ siwo ate ŋu awɔ aʋa.
17 And the king of Babylon causes his father’s brother Mattaniah to reign in his stead, and turns his name to Zedekiah.
Babilonia fia tsɔ Fia Yehoyatsin ƒe nyruiyɔvi, Matania ɖo fiae eye wòtrɔ ŋkɔ nɛ be Zedekia.
18 Zedekiah [is] a son of twenty-one years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
Zedekia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-ɖekɛ esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe wuiɖekɛ. Dadae nye Hamutal, Yeremia ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòtso Libna.
19 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH according to all that Jehoiakim did,
Ewɔ nu vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume abe ale si Yehoyakim wɔe ene.
20 for by the anger of YHWH it has been against Jerusalem and against Judah, until He [finally] cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebels against the king of Babylon.
Yehowa ƒe dziku tae nu siawo katã va Yerusalem kple Yuda dzi ɖo. Eye le nuwuwu la, eɖe wo ɖa le eƒe ŋkuta. Ke azɔ la, Zedekia dze aglã ɖe Babilonia fia ŋuti.
