2 Kings 24
1 While Jehoiakim was ruling [Judah, the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Judah. [They defeated the Judean army, and as a result, ] Jehoiakim was required to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to King Nebuchadnezzar. But after three years, Jehoiakim rebelled.
Nígbà ìjọba Jehoiakimu, Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli gbógun sí ilẹ̀ náà, Jehoiakimu sì di ẹrú rẹ̀ fún ọdún mẹ́ta. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà náà ó yí ọkàn rẹ̀ padà ó sì ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Nebukadnessari.
2 Then Yahweh sent raiders from Babylonia and Syria, and from the Moab and Ammon people-groups, to attack the people of Judah and get rid of them, just as Yahweh had told his prophets to warn the people would happen.
Olúwa sì rán àwọn ará Babeli, àwọn ará Aramu, àwọn ará Moabu àti àwọn ọmọ Ammoni. Ó rán wọn láti pa Juda run, ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó ti sọ nípasẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wòlíì.
3 These things happened to the people of Judah according to what Yahweh commanded. [He had decided] to get rid of the people of Judah because of the many sins that King Manasseh [had committed].
Nítòótọ́ eléyìí ṣẹlẹ̀ sí Juda gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Olúwa, láti mú wọn kúrò níwájú rẹ̀ nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Manase àti gbogbo nǹkan tí ó ṣe.
4 Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
Àti pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ tí a ta sílẹ̀ nítorí ó ti kún Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ tí Olúwa kò sì fẹ́ láti dáríjì.
5 The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king, and all the things that he did, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ní ti ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Jehoiakimu, àti gbogbo nǹkan tí ó ṣe, ṣé wọn kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn ọba Juda?
6 When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
Jehoiakimu sùn pẹ̀lú baba rẹ̀, Jehoiakini ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
7 [The army of] the king of Babylon [defeated the army of Egypt, and] took control of all the area that the Egyptians formerly controlled, from the brook [at the border] of Egypt [in the south] to the Euphrates River [in the north]. So [the army of] the king of Egypt did not return [to attack Judah] again.
Ọba Ejibiti kò sì tún jáde ní ìlú rẹ̀ mọ́, nítorí ọba Babeli ti gba gbogbo agbègbè rẹ̀ láti odò Ejibiti lọ sí odò Eufurate.
8 Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king of Judah. His mother’s name was Nehushta; she was the daughter of a man from Jerusalem named Elnathan. Jehoiachin ruled in Jerusalem for [only] three months.
Jehoiakini jẹ́ ẹni ọdún méjìdínlógún nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún oṣù mẹ́ta. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ a sì máa jẹ́ Nehuṣita ọmọbìnrin Elnatani; ó wá láti Jerusalẹmu.
9 Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí baba rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
10 [While Jehoiachin was king, ] some officers of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came [along with the whole Babylonian army] to Jerusalem, and they surrounded the city.
Ní àkókò náà àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli gbé ogun wá Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì gbé dó ti ìlú náà,
11 While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli fúnra rẹ̀ wá sókè sí ìlú nígbà tí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ fi ogun dó tì í.
12 Then King Jehoiachin and his mother and his advisors and important officers and palace officials all surrendered to the Babylonian army. These thngs happened when Nebuchadnezzar had been king for eight years. He arrested Jehoiachin and took him to Babylon.
Jehoiakini ọba Juda àti ìyá rẹ̀ àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, àti àwọn ìwẹ̀fà àti àwọn ìjòyè gbogbo wọn sì jọ̀wọ́ ara wọn fún un. Ní ọdún kẹjọ ìjọba rẹ̀ ti ọba Babeli ó mú Jehoiakini ẹlẹ́wọ̀n.
13 Just as Yahweh had said would happen, Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took [to Babylon] all the valuable things from Yahweh’s temple and from the king’s palace. They cut apart all the gold items that King Solomon had put in the temple.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ Nebukadnessari kó gbogbo ìṣúra láti inú ilé Olúwa àti láti ilé ọba, ó sì mú u lọ gbogbo ohun èlò wúrà ti Solomoni ọba Israẹli ti kọ́ fún Olúwa.
14 They took from Jerusalem [to Babylon] 10,000 people, including the important officials and the best soldiers and the people who made and repaired things that were made of metal. Only the very poor people were left in Judah.
Ó kó wọn lọ sí ìgbèkùn gbogbo Jerusalẹmu: gbogbo ìjòyè àti àwọn akọni alágbára ọkùnrin, àti gbogbo oníṣọ̀nà àti ọlọ́nà tí àpapọ̀ rẹ̀ jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá, àwọn tálákà ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà nìkan ni ó kù.
15 Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
Nebukadnessari mú Jehoiakini ní ìgbèkùn lọ sí Babeli. Ó sì tún mú ìyá ọba láti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí Babeli, ìyàwó rẹ̀ àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti àwọn olórí ilé náà.
16 They also took to Babylon 7,000 of the best soldiers and 1,000 men who knew how to make and repair things that are made from metal. All of these people whom they took were strong and able to fight in wars.
Àti gbogbo àwọn ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá tí ó jẹ́ ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin alágbára ọkùnrin, àti àwọn oníṣọ̀nà àti alágbẹ̀dẹ, ẹgbẹ̀rún, gbogbo àwọn alágbára tí ó yẹ fún ogun ni ọba Babeli kó ní ìgbèkùn lọ sí Babeli.
17 Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
Ọba Babeli sì mú Mattaniah arákùnrin baba Jehoiakini, jẹ ọba ní ìlú rẹ̀ ó sì yí orúkọ rẹ̀ padà sí Sedekiah.
18 When Zedekiah was twenty-one years old, he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of a man named Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
Sedekiah jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mọ́kànlélógún nígbà tí ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ṣe ìjọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlá. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ ni Hamutali ọmọbìnrin Jeremiah; ó sì wá láti Libina.
19 But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Jehoiakimu ti ṣe.
20 Yahweh was very angry. So (and finally/after he had been patient a long time) he expelled the people of Jerusalem and [the other places in] Judah and sent them to Babylon. [That is what happened when] Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Nítorí tí ìbínú Olúwa, ni gbogbo èyí ṣe ṣẹ sí Jerusalẹmu, àti Juda, ní òpin ó ta wọ́n nù kúrò níwájú rẹ̀. Nísinsin yìí Sedekiah sì ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọba Babeli.
