2 Kings 24
1 In his days, came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, —and Jehoiakim became his servant three years, then turned he and rebelled against him.
I ona ra ka haere mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona; na ka pononga a Iehoiakimi ki a ia, e toru tau. Katahi tera ka tahuri, ka whakakeke ki a ia.
2 And Yahweh sent against him troops of Chaldeans, and troops of Syrians, and troops of Moabites, and troops of the sons of Ammon, yea he sent them against Judah, to destroy him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servants the prophets.
Na ka ngarea mai e Ihowa ki a ia nga ope o nga Karari, me nga ope o nga Hiriani, me nga ope o nga Moapi, me nga ope o nga tama a Amona; a ngarea ana mai ratou e ia ki a Hura hei huna mo reira, i rite ai te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia e ana pononga, e nga poropiti.
3 Surely, it was, because of the anger of Yahweh, that this came upon Judah, to remove them from his presence, —for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done:
He pono, na te kupu a Ihowa i pa ai tenei ki a Hura, hei whakawatea atu i a ratou i tona aroaro, mo nga hara o Manahi, ara mo ana mea katoa i mea ai ia,
4 moreover also, for the innocent blood that he had shed, so that he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, —which Yahweh was not willing to pardon.
Mo te toto harakore hoki i whakahekea e ia; i kapi katoa hoki a Hiruharama i a ia i te toto harakore, a kihai a Ihowa i pai kia whakarerea noatia tenei.
5 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehoiakimi me ana mea katoa i mea ai ia, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, —and, Jehoiachin his son, reigned, in his stead.
Na ka moe a Iehoiakimi ki ona matua, a ko Iehoiakini, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
7 And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land, —for the king of Babylon had taken—from the ravine of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates, all that had belonged to the king of Egypt.
Na heoi ano putanga o te kingi o Ihipa i tona whenua; kua riro hoki i te kingi o Papurona nga wahi katoa o te kingi o Ihipa, no te awa ra ano o Ihipa tae noa ki te awa ki Uparati.
8 Eighteen years old, was Jehoiachin when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan, of Jerusalem.
Kotahi tekau ma waru nga tau o Iehoiakini i tona kingitanga, a e toru nga marama i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Nehuhuta, he tamahine na Erenatana o Hiruharama.
9 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his father, had done.
A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa.
10 At that time, came up the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem, —and the city came into the siege.
I taua wa ka whakaekea a Hiruharama e nga tangata a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a whakapaea ana te pa.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants were about to besiege it.
Na ka haere mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona ki te pa, i te mea e whakapaea ana a reira e ana tangata.
12 Then came out Jehoiachin king of Judah, unto the king of Babylon, he and his mother, and his servants, and his generals, and his courtiers, —and the king of Babylon took him, in the eighth year of his reign.
Na ka puta a Iehoiakini kingi o Hura ki te kingi o Papurona, a ia, tona whaea, ana tangata, ana rangatira, me ana kaiwhakahaere: na kua mau i te kingi o Papurona i te waru o nga tau o tona kingitanga.
13 And he carried forth from thence, all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, —and he cut off all the fittings of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, according to all that, Yahweh, had spoken.
Na maturia atu ana e ia i reira nga taonga katoa o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi; tapatapahia ana hoki e ia nga oko koura katoa i hanga e Horomona kingi o Iharaira ki te temepara o Ihowa, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai.
14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the generals, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand becoming captives, and all the artificers and the smiths, —none remained save the poorest of the people of the land.
Whakahekea katoatia ana hoki e ia a Hiruharama katoa, nga rangatira katoa, me nga marohirohi katoa, tekau mano nga parau, me nga kaimahi katoa, me nga parakimete; kihai tetahi i mahue, heoi ano ko te hunga rawakore o te whenua.
15 And he carried away captive Jehoiachin, to Babylon, —and, the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his courtiers, and the nobles of the land, took he away captive, from Jerusalem to Babylon.
A i whakahekea e ia a Iehoiakini ki Pupurona; me te whaea o te kingi, me nga wahine a te kingi, me ana kaiwhakahaere, me te hunga nunui o te whenua; whakahekea ana ratou e ia i Hiruharama hei parau ki Papurona.
16 And, all the men of might—seven thousand, and artificers and smiths—a thousand, all who were valiant and ready to make war, the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.
Me nga toa, e whitu mano, nga kaimahi, nga parakimete, kotahi mano, nga marohirohi katoa e pai ana hei whawhai: kawea ana ratou e te kingi hei parau ki Papurona.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his relative, king in his stead, —and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Na meinga ana e te kingi o Papurona ko Matania, teina o tona papa, hei kingi i muri i a ia, whakawhitia ketia ana tona ingoa ko Terekia.
18 Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
E rua tekau ma tahi nga tau o Terekia i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Hamutara, he tamahine na Heremaia o Ripina.
19 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, Jehoiakim, had done.
A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Iehoiakimi.
20 For, it was because the anger of Yahweh had come against Jerusalem, and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled, against the king of Babylon.
Na reira, i a Ihowa ka riri nei, ka puta te aitua ki Hiruharama, ki a Hura, a maka noatia atu ratou i tona aroaro: a whakakeke ana a Terekia ki te kingi o Papurona.
