2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and 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 YHWH sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Arameans, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke 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 Surely at the commandment of YHWH this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that 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 also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and YHWH would not pardon.
ng’okwo kwe kuli okuyiwa omusaayi ogutaliiko musango. Yajjuza Yerusaalemi n’omusaayi ogutaliiko musango, Mukama kye yali tagenda kusonyiwa.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ebyafaayo ebirala ebyaliwo ku mulembe gwa Yekoyakimu ne byonna bye yakola, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
Awo Yekoyakimu n’afa, mutabani we Yekoyakini n’amusikira okuba kabaka.
7 The king of Egypt did not come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the Wadi of Egypt to the river Perath, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
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 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother's name was Nehushta 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, 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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Mu biro ebyo eggye lya Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni ne lirumba ekibuga ky’e Yerusaalemi, ne kizingizibwa.
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging it;
Nebukadduneeza yennyini n’ajja mu kibuga, ng’eggye lye likyakizingizza.
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his officers, and his officers. And the king of Babylon took 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 He carried out there all the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in YHWH's temple, as YHWH had said.
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 He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the officials, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except the poorest 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 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to 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 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
Ate era yawamba abasajja ab’amaanyi kasanvu, ne baffundi n’abaweesi lukumi, bonna n’abatwala e Babulooni nga basibe.
17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king is his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Nebukadduneeza n’addira Mataniya kitaawe wa Yekoyakini omuto, n’amufuula kabaka, era n’amukyusa n’erinnya n’amutuuma Zeddekiya.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
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 He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga Yekoyakini bwe yakola.
20 For through the anger of YHWH, it happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against 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.
