2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came—he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and they built against it a siege wall, round about.
Na i te iwa o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te tekau o nga marama i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ka tae mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a ia me tana ope katoa, ki Hiruharama, a nohoia ana e ia a reira; a hanga ana e ratou etahi taumaihi mo re ira a tawhio noa.
2 And the city came into the siege, —until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Heoi ka whakapaea te pa a tae noa ki te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Kingi Terekia.
3 On the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be no bread for the people of the land,
I te iwa o nga ra o te wha o nga marama he nui te matekai o te pa, a kahore he taro ma nga tangata o te whenua.
4 then was the city broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by way of the gate between the two walls, which is by the garden of the king, the Chaldeans being near the city round about, —and he went the way of the Waste Plain;
Katahi ka wahia te pa, a rere ana nga tangata whawhai katoa i te po na te ara o te kuwaha i waenganui o nga taiepa e rua, na tera i te kari a te kingi; he mea karapoti hoki te pa e nga Karari; ko te kingi i haere na te Arapa.
5 and the force of the Chaldeans, pursued, the king, and overtook him in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, was scattered from him.
Otiia i whai te ope a nga Karari i te kingi, a ka mau ia ki nga mania i Heriko: a ko tana ope katoa i marara noa atu i a ia.
6 So they seized the king, and brought him up unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah, —and they pronounced upon him sentence of judgment.
Na ka mau i a ratou te kingi, ka kawea ki te kingi o Papurona ki Ripira; a ka korerotia te whakawa mona.
7 And, the sons of Zedekiah, they slew before his eyes, —and, the eyes of Zedekiah, put they out, and then bound him with fetters of bronze, and brought him into Babylon.
Na ka whakamatea e ratou nga tama a Terekia i tona aroaro, whakamatapotia iho nga kanohi o Terekia, a herea ana ia ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
8 And, in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem;
I te rima o nga marama, i te whitu o nga ra o te marama, ara i te tekau ma iwa o nga tau o Kingi Nepukaneha, kingi o Papurona, ka haere mai a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, he tangata na te kingi o Papurona, ki Hiruharama.
9 and burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.
Na ka tahuna e ia te whare o Ihowa, me te whare o te kingi, me nga whare katoa o Hiruharama, tae noa ki nga whare nunui katoa; tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi.
10 And, the walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
Wahia iho hoki nga taiepa o Hiruharama a whawhe noa e te ope katoa o nga Karari, i haere mai nei ratou ko te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
11 And, the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who fell away unto the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, carry away captive.
Na, ko te morehu o te iwi i mahue i te pa, me te hunga i papahoro atu, i taka atu ra ki te kingi o Papurona, me nga toenga atu o taua huihui, i whakahekea e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
12 But, of the poorest of the land, did the chief of the royal executioners, leave, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
I waiho ia e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki etahi o nga rawakore o te whenua hei kaimahi waina, hei kaimahi whenua.
13 And, the pillars of bronze that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans brake in pieces, and they carried away the bronze of them to Babylon;
Na, ko nga pou parahi i te whare o Ihowa, me nga turanga, me te moana parahi i te whare o Ihowa, wawahia ana e nga Karari, a maua atu ana e ratou te parahi o aua mea ki Papurona.
14 and, the caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away;
I maua atu ano e ratou nga pata, me nga koko pungarehu, me nga kuku, me nga koko, me nga oko parahi katoa mo a ratou mahi tapu.
15 and, the sprinkling pans and the dashing bowls which were of gold, in gold, and which were of silver, in silver, did, the chief of the royal executions, take away.
Ko nga oko ngarahu ano, ko nga peihana; ko nga mea koura, ko nga mea hiriwa, tena he koura, tena he hiriwa, tangohia ake e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
16 As for the two pillars the one sea and the stands which Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things.
Ko nga pou e rua, ko te moana kotahi, me nga turanga e rua i hanga e Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa; kahore he paunatanga o te parahi o enei oko katoa.
17 Eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, the capital thereupon was of bronze, and, the height of the capital, was three cubits, and, the lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about, the whole, was of bronze; and, like these, had the second pillar, upon the lattice-work.
Ko te tiketike o tetahi o nga pou kotahi tekau ma waru nga whatianga, he parahi te whakapaipai o runga: a ko te tiketike o te whakapaipai e toru nga whatianga; he parahi katoa te mea i whiria, me nga pamekaranete o te whakapaipai a whawhe noa: r ite tonu hoki ki enei to te rua o nga pou, he mea whiri ano tona.
18 And the chief of the royal executioners took Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance hall;
I tangohia ano e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki a Heraia, te tino tohunga, ratou ko te tohunga tuarua, ko Tepania, ko nga kaitiaki tokotoru o te kuwaha.
19 and, out of the city, took he one courtier who himself was set over the men of war, and five men of them who were wont to see the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe—general of the army, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city;
I tangohia ano e ia i te pa tetahi kaiwhakahaere, ko te rangatira o nga tangata whawhai; tokorima o nga tangata no te aroaro pu ake o te kingi, he hunga i rokohanga ki roto ki te pa: me te kaituhituhi, ara te rangatira o te ope, te kaihuihui i n ga tangata o te whenua; me nga tangata e ono tekau o te iwi o te whenua i rokohanga e ia ki roto ki te pa.
20 and Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, took them, —and brought them unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah;
Na ka mau a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a ratou, kawea ana ki te kingi o Papurona, ki Ripira.
21 and the king of Babylon smote them and slew them in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and thus Judah disappeared from off their own soil.
Na patua ana ratou e te kingi o Papurona, whakamatea ana ki Ripira, ki te whenua o Hamata. Heoi whakahekea atu ana a Hura i tona oneone.
22 But, as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left remaining, he set over them Gedaliah, son of Ahikam son of Shaphan.
Na, ko te hunga i mahue ki te whenua o Hura, ko nga mea i mahue i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, meinga ana e ia ko Keraria tama a Ahikama tama a Hapana hei kawana mo ratou.
23 And, when all the generals of the forces, they and the men, heard that the king of Babylon had given oversight unto Gedaliah, then came they in unto Gedaliah, at Mizpah, —even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of a Maacathite, they and their men.
Na, i te rongonga o nga rangatira ope katoa, o ratou ko a ratou tangata, kua meinga e te kingi o Papurona a Keraria hei kawana, ka haere mai ratou ki a Keraria ki Mihipa, ara a Ihimaera tama a Netania, a Iohanana tama a Karea, a Heraia tama a Ta nahumete Netopati, a Iaatania tama a tetahi Maakati, me a ratou tangata.
24 And Gedaliah sware unto them, and to their men, and said to them, Do not fear because of the servants of the Chaldeans, —dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Na ka oati a Keraria ki a ratou, ki a ratou tangata hoki, ka mea ki a ratou, Kaua e wehi, he mea mo nga pononga o nga Karari: e noho i te whenua, e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona, a ka whai pai koutou.
25 And it came to pass, in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah a son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, —and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
Otiia i te whitu o nga marama ka haere mai a Ihimaera tama a Netania tama a Erihama, he momo kingi, ratou ko ona hoa, katohi tekau tangata, a patua iho a Keraria, mate rawa, ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga Hurai, ko nga Karari, i Mihipa.
26 Then arose all the people, both small and great, and the generals of the forces, and came into Egypt, —for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Na ka whakatika te iwi katoa, te iti me te rahi, ratou ko nga rangatira ope, a haere ana ki Ihipa, i wehi hoki ratou i nga Karari.
27 And it came to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, —that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of prison;
Na, i te toru tekau ma whitu o nga tau o te whakahekenga atu o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura, i te tekau ma rua o nga marama, i te rua tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, ka whakaarahia e Ewiri, Meroraka kingi o Papurona, i te tau i kingi ai ia, te m atenga o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura i roto i te whare herehere.
28 and he spake with him kind words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon;
A he pai ana korero ki a ia, nekehia ake ana e ia tona torona ki runga ake i nga torona o nga kingi i tona taha i Papurona.
29 and changed his prison garments, —and he did eat bread continually before him, all the days of his life.
Ko nga kakahu o tona hereherenga i whakawhitia e ia; a kai taro ana ia i tona aroaro i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
30 And, as his allowance, a continual portion, was given him, from the king, the provision of a day upon its own day, —all the days of his life.
A ko te wahi mana, he mea pumau, he mea homai e te kingi ki a ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra, i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
