2 Kings 25
1 And it comes to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamps against it, and builds a surrounding fortification against it.
Pea ʻi hono hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻaia mo ʻene tau kotoa pē, ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, pea naʻa nau fakatoka ʻae tau ki ai; pea naʻa nau langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ki ai ʻo fakatakamilo.
2 And the city enters into siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Pea naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae tau ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻoe tuʻi ko Setikia.
3 On the ninth of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, then there has not been bread for the people of the land.
Pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono fā ʻoe māhina, naʻe lahi ʻae honge ʻi he kolo, pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoe fonua.
4 And the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the city all around, and [the king] goes the way of the plain.
Pea naʻe kapa ʻae kolo, pea naʻe hola ʻae kau tangata [tau ]kotoa pē ʻi he poʻuli ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā maka, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he ngoue ʻae tuʻi; (ka ko eni naʻe ʻāʻi ʻae kolo ʻe he kakai Kalitia: ) pea naʻe ʻalu [ʻae tuʻi ]ʻi he hala ki he toafa.
5 And the force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from him;
Pea naʻe tuli ʻae tuʻi ʻe he tau ʻae kakai Kalitia, ʻonau maʻu atu ʻi he toafa ʻo Sioatani, ka kuo movetevete ʻene tau kotoa pē meiate ia.
6 and they seize the king, and bring him up to the king of Babylon, to Riblah, and they speak judgment with him.
Ko ia naʻa nau puke ʻae tuʻi, mo ʻohake ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi Lipila; pea naʻa nau fakamaauʻi ia.
7 And they have slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and binds him with bronze chains, and they bring him to Babylon.
Pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Setikia ʻi hono ʻao, pea naʻe kapeʻi ʻae mata ʻo Setikia, pea haʻi ia ʻaki ʻae haʻi palasa, pea naʻe ʻave ia ki Papilone.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it [is] the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, has come to Jerusalem,
Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko hono hongofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe haʻu ai ki Selūsalema ʻa Nepusaletani, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
9 and he burns the house of YHWH, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, indeed, he has burned every great house with fire;
Pea naʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo e ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, mo e fale ʻoe tangataʻeiki kotoa pē naʻa ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi.
10 and all the forces of the Chaldeans, who [are] with the chief of the executioners, have broken down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
Pea ko e tau kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻeiki pule ʻoe leʻo, naʻa nau holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo takatakai.
11 And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners has removed;
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe tuku ʻi he kolo, pea mo e kau hola naʻe hoko ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, mo hono toenga ʻoe kakai tokolahi, naʻe fetuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Nepusaletani ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻo ne ʻave.
12 and of the poor of the land the chief of the executioners has left for vinedressers and for farmers.
Ka naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva ʻoe fonua ke nau tauhi ngoue vaine, mo tō ngoue.
13 And the pillars of bronze that [are] in the house of YHWH, and the bases, and the sea of bronze, that [is] in the house of YHWH, the Chaldeans have broken in pieces, and carry away their bronze to Babylon.
Pea ko e ngaahi pou palasa naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga, mo e ʻaiʻanga vai palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe tā ʻo lailaiki ʻe he kakai Kalitia, ʻonau fetuku ʻae palasa ki Papilone.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they minister, they have taken;
Pea ko e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi huo, mo e ngaahi helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa ʻaia naʻa nau fai ʻaki ʻae ngāue, naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave.
15 and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, the chief of the executioners has taken.
Mo e ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo e ngaahi meʻa koula, ʻi he koula, mo e siliva ʻi he siliva, naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon made for the house of YHWH, there was no weighing of the bronze of all these vessels;
Ko e pou ʻe ua, mo e ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe taha, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ki he fale ʻo Sihova: ko e palasa ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono mamafa.
17 eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the capital on it [is] of bronze, and the height of the capital [is] three cubits, and the net and the pomegranates [are] on the capital all around—the whole [is] of bronze; and the second pillar has like these, with the net.
Ko hono lōloa ʻoe pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu ma ono; pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ko e palasa ia: pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ko e hanga ia ʻe ono; pea naʻe palasa kotoa pē ʻae ngāue fihifihi mo e ngaahi fuaʻi ʻakau naʻe takatakai ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou: pea naʻe tatau mo ia ʻae ngāue fihifihi ʻi hono ua ʻoe pou.
18 And the chief of the executioners takes Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻa Selaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo Sefanaia ko hono ua ʻoe taulaʻeiki, mo e kau leʻo matapā ʻe toko tolu.
19 and he has taken out of the city a certain eunuch who is appointed over the men of war, and five men of those seeing the king’s face who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host who musters the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city;
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ia mei he kolo ʻae matāpule ʻe taha naʻe pule ki he kau tangata tau, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he kolo, mo e tangata naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he kau tangata tohi ʻoe tau, ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongofulu ʻoe kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he kolo:
20 and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners takes them, and causes them to go to the king of Babylon, to Libnah,
Naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ni ʻe Nepusaletani, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila.
21 and the king of Babylon strikes them, and puts them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removes Judah from off its land.
Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Lipila ʻi he fonua ʻo Hemati. Naʻe pehē ʻae fetuku ʻae kakai Siuta ke mamaʻo mei honau fonua.
22 And the people that are left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has left—he appoints Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, over them.
Pea ko e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe fakanofo ke pule kiate kinautolu ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, ko e foha ʻo Safani.
23 And all the heads of the forces hear—they and the men—that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah, and they come to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite—they and their men;
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi kongakau, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau kakai, ʻo pehē kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Ketalia ke pule ia, naʻe haʻu ai kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻio, ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Netania, mo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, mo Selaia ko e foha ʻo Tanumeti ko e tangata Nitofa, mo Seasania ko e foha ʻoe tangata ʻo Meaka, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau kakai.
24 and Gedaliah swears to them and to their men, and says to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is good for you.”
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻa Ketalia kiate kinautolu, pea mo ʻenau kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē ke hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kakai Kalitia: nofo ʻi he fonua, pea tauhi ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te mou lelei ai.”
25 And it comes to pass, in the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nathaniah has come, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him, and they strike Gedaliah, and he dies, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have been with him in Mizpah.
Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Netania, ko e foha ʻo ʻIlisama ʻi he hako ʻoe tuʻi, ko ia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Ketalia, pea pekia ai ia, mo e kau Siu mo e kau Kalitia naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi Misipa.
26 And all the people rise, from small even to great, and the heads of the forces, and come to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence of the Chaldeans.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae siʻi mo e lahi, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite; he naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai Kalitia.
27 And it comes to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the expulsion of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, Evil-Merodach king of Babylon has lifted up, in the year of his reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
Pea ʻi hono tolungofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe nofo pōpula ʻa Sihoiakini ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he taʻu naʻe kamata ʻene pule ʻa Ivili-Melotaki ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻa ne hiki hake ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sihoiakini ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mei he fale fakapōpula:
28 and speaks good things with him and puts his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon,
Pea naʻa ne lea ʻofa kiate ia, pea naʻa ne hiki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi naʻe nofo mo ia ʻi Papilone;
29 and has changed the garments of his restraint, and he has eaten bread continually before him all [the] days of his life,
Pea naʻe fetongi hono ngaahi kofu fakafalepōpula: pea naʻe kai mā ia ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
30 and his allowance—a continual allowance—has been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all [the] days of his life.
Pea ko ʻene meʻakai naʻe tufa maʻuaipē mei he tuʻi, ko e tufakanga ki he ʻaho taki taha, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
