< 2 Kings 25 >

1 On January 15 of the ninth year that Zedekiah had been ruling, King Nebuchadnezzar arrived with his whole army, and they surrounded Jerusalem. They built ramps [made of dirt against the walls of the city], so that they could climb up the ramps and attack the city.
Hagi Zedekai'ma kinima manino egeno 9nima hia kafufina, 10ni ikamofona 10ni zupa, Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a ana maka sondia vahe'a zamavareno Jerusalemi kumara eme hahuzmanteku e'ne. Anama hute'za Jerusalemi ran kuma'mofo megi'a kuma eme ante'za mani'ne'za, kuma keginamofo tva'ontera oti'ne'za ha'ma hanaza zana mopa kate'za ante hihi hu'za mareri'naze.
2 They did that for two years.
Hagi Babiloni vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi rankumara avazagi kaginte'za mani nazageno, mago kafugi 6si'a ika evigeno, Zedekai'ma kinima manino egeno 11nima hia kafurera ehanati'ne.
3 After Zedekiah had been ruling for eleven years, the (famine/shortage of food) had become very bad. All their food was gone.
Higeno ana kafufina 4 ikamofo 9ni zupa, Jerusalemi rankumapima mani'naza vahera ne'za zamimo'a vagaregeno, tusi zamagaku nehazageno ne'zama nesazazana omne'ne.
4 On July 18 of that year, the Babylonian soldiers broke through part of the city wall, [and that enabled them to enter the city]. All the soldiers of Judah [wanted to escape]. But the Babylonian soldiers surrounded the city, so the [king and] the soldiers of Judah waited until it was nighttime. Then they fled through the gate that was between the two walls near the king’s park. They ran across the fields and started to go down to the Jordan [River] Valley.
Ana hige'za Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kuma kegina tapage hu'za ufre'naze. Hagi Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumara avazagi kagi'nazanagi, Zedekaia'ene ana maka sondia vahe'mo'za kenage atirami'za, kini ne'mofo hozama me'nerega tare kazigati keginamokema eme rehe'na'a amu'nompima me'nea kahanteti atirami'za Araba kaziga vu'naze.
5 But the Babylonian soldiers chased/ran after them. They caught the king when he was by himself in the valley near the Jordan River. He was by himself because all his soldiers had abandoned him.
Hianagi Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za kini nera rotago hu'za vu'za Jeriko agupofi ome azerizageno, sondia vahe'amo'za atre'za panani hu'za fre'naze.
6 The Babylonian soldiers took King Zedekiah to Riblah [city] in Babylon. There the king of Babylon decided what they would do to punish him.
Anama hute'za Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za Zedekaiana avre'za Babiloni kini ne'ma Ribla kumate'ma mani'nere azageno, keagafi avrente'za knama amisia keaga erinte fatgo hu'naze.
7 There the king of Babylon forced Zedekiah to watch as the Babylonian soldiers killed all of Zedekiah’s sons. Then they gouged out Zedekiah’s eyes. They put bronze chains on [his hands and feet] and then they took him to Babylon.
Hagi Zedekai'a negege'za ne'mofavre naga'a zamahe fri vagare'naze. Ana nehu'za Zedekaiana tarega avurga repro hunetre'za, bronsireti seninu azantera anakinte'za avre'za Babiloni rankumate vu'naze.
8 On August 14 of that year, after Nebuchadnezzar had been ruling for 19 years, Nebuzaradan arrived in Jerusalem. He was one of king Nebuchadnezzar’s officials and captain of the men that guarded the king.
Hagi Nebukatnesa'ma kinima manino egeno 19nima eme hia kafufina, 5fu ikamofona 7ni zupa, kini nete'ma kvama nehaza sondia vahe'mokizmi kva nera Nebusaradanikino mago zupa Jerusalemi rankumate e'ne.
9 He [commanded his soldiers to] burn down the temple of Yahweh, the king’s palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem. So they burned down all the important buildings in the city.
Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono nonki, kini ne'mofo nonki, ana maka Jerusalema me'nea nontamine, agima me'nea nontaminena Nebusaradani'a teve tagintegeno te'ne.
10 Then Nebuzaradan supervised all the soldiers of the Babylonian army as they tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
Hagi Nebusaradani'ma Babiloni sondia vahe'ma kegava huno zamavareno'ma vu'nea vahera huzmantege'za Jerusalemi rankuma'mofo have kegina, maka ru tamana tamanu hutre'naze.
11 Then he and his soldiers took to Babylon the people who were still living in the city, the other people [who lived in that area], and the soldiers who had previously surrendered to the Babylonian army.
Hagi Jerusalemi vahe'ma zamavare'za Babilonima nevu'zama mago'ama zamatre'naza vahera, Babiloni sondia vahete kva ne' Nebusaradani'a kina ome huzmanteku zamavareno Babiloni vu'ne. Ana nehuno mago'a Juda vahe'ma ha' knafima kora atre'za vu'za Babiloni sondia vahe'ma ha' kuma'ma emente'za mani'nafima umani'naza vahe'enena zamavareno Babiloni kina ome huzmanteku vu'ne.
12 But Nebuzaradan allowed some of the very poor people to stay in Judah to take care of the vineyards and [to plant crops in] the fields.
Hianagi mago'a zamunte'ma omne'nea vahera, Nebusaradani'a zamatrege'za Juda mopafina mani'neza hoza nente'za waini hozanena kegava hu'naze.
13 The Babylonian soldiers broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the bronze carts with wheels, and the huge bronze basin, all of which were in the temple courtyard, and they took all the bronze to Babylon.
Hagi Babiloni sondia vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo mono nompi umareri'za, noma vazisgama hu (fumza) anumza zafama Bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zafa e'neri'za, tusi'a zuompama bronsireti'ma tro hu'za tima afinte'ne'za tirurema nehaza zuompane, aga'araminena tagana vazi'za eri'za Babiloni vu'naze.
14 They also took the pots, the shovels, the instruments for (snuffing out/extinguishing) [the wicks of] the lamps, the dishes, and all the other bronze items that the Israeli priests had used for offering sacrifices at the temple.
Hagi Babiloni vahe'mo'za ana zanke hu'za, bronsireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza kavoma, savorima tavi'ma erisuhu azotama, zuomparamine, ana maka zama brosireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zantamima Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima me'neana eri vagare'naze.
15 The soldiers also took away the (firepans/trays for carrying burning coals), the basins, and [all the other] items made of pure gold or pure silver.
Hagi golireti'ene silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'naza zuompama tankanuzama hampagenente'za zuompane, korama taginte'za ru tri tri'ma nehaza zuompanena Babiloni sondia vahete kva ne' Nebusaradani'a erino vu'ne.
16 The bronze from the two pillars, the carts with wheels, and the huge basin were very heavy; they could not be weighed. (Those things had been made/A man named Hiram had made these things) for the temple when Solomon [was the king of Israel].
Hagi noma vazisgama hu (fumza) anumza zafararente'ma anoma vazi'naza bronsine, ra zuompama tima afintene'za tirurema nehaza zuompane, aga'araminema bronsiretima tro'ma hu'nazana, kna'amofona refko hu'za kegara osu'naze.
17 Each of the pillars was (27 feet/8 meters) tall. The bronze capital/top of each pillar was (7-1/2 feet/2.3 meters) high. They were each decorated all around with something that looked like a net made of bronze chains connecting bronze pomegranates.
Hagi ana tarega zafamokea magozahu hakeno za'za zaniamo'a 8'a mita hutere higeno, ana zafararente'ma anagami asenire'ma fetori'ma tro'ma hu'za ante'nazana 1mitagi 30'a sentamita hu'ne. Hagi tare zafamofo fetorite'ma avonkre avankre'ma hunte'nafina, tarefi pomigreneti zafa ragamofo amema'a krente'za evutere hu'naze.
18 Nebuzaradan took with him to Babylon Seraiah the Supreme Priest, Zephaniah his assistant, and the three men who guarded the entrance [to the temple].
Hagi Babiloni kini ne'mofo sondia vahete kva ne' Nebusaradani'a, ugagota pristi ne' Seraiane, agri amefima hu'nea pristi ne' Zefanaiane Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo kahante'ma kvama nehaza 3'a vahe'ene, kina ome huzmanteku zamazeri'ne.
19 And they found people who were still hiding in Jerusalem. From those people he took one officer from the Judean army, five of the king’s advisors, the chief secretary of the army commander who was in charge of recruiting men to join the army, and 60 other important Judean men.
Hagi Jerusalemi kumapima maniza sondia vahete'ma kvama nehia neki, kini ne'ma antahintahima nemiza vahera 5fu'a Jerusalemi mani'nazageno Nebusaradani'a zamazeri'ne. Ana nehuno sondia vahe'ma zamagima kreno erinte fatgo nehia ne'enena azeri'ne. Ana nehuno 60'a vahera mago'a Jerusalemi kumapintira zamazeri'ne.
20 Nebuzaradan took them all to the king of Babylon at Riblah [city].
Ana'ma huteno'a Nebusaradani'a ana vahera zamavareno Babiloni kini ne'ma Ribla kumate'ma mani'nere vu'ne.
21 There at Riblah, in Hamath province, the king of Babylon commanded that they all be executed. That is what happened when the people of Judah were (taken forcefully/exiled) from their land [to Babylon].
Hagi ana huntegeno Babiloni kini nemo'a ana vahera Ribla kumate Hamati mopafi zamahege'za fri'naze. Anama hute'za Juda vahera zamavare'za afete moparega vu'za kina ome huzmante'ne.
22 Then King Nebuchadnezzar appointed Gedaliah, who was the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan, to be the governor of the people who were still living in Judah.
Hagi Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesa'a mago'ama zamatre'za Judama aza vahe'ma kegavama huzmantesia nera, Safani negeho Ahikamu nemofo Gedalia gavana huhamprinte'ne.
23 When all the army captains of Judah and their soldiers who had not surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar found out that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah to be the governor, they met with him at Mizpah [town]. These army captains were Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth from Netophah [town], and Jaazaniah from the Maacah region.
Hagi Juda sondia vahe'ene, kva vahe'zamimo'zama fre'za umani'nazaregati'ma antahi'zama, Babiloni kini ne'mo'a Gedaliama Juda gavana ne' azeri oti'ne haza nanekema nentahi'za, Gedalia'ma Mizpama mani'nere e'naze. Anama e'naza nagamokizmi zamagi'a, Netania nemofo Ismaeliki, Karea nemofo Johananiki, Netofa kumateti ne' Tanhumeti nemofo Seraiaki, Makati kumateti ne' Zesaniaki hu'za e'naze.
24 Gedaliah solemnly promised them [that the officials from Babylon were not planning to harm them]. He said, “You may live in this land [without being afraid] and serve the king of Babylon, and [if you do], everything will go well for you.”
Hagi Gedalia'ma ana vahe'ma nezamageno'a amanage huno huvempa huno zamasami'ne, tamagra Babiloni kva vahekura korora osiho. Ana nehutama ama mopafina amne mani'neta nazano Nebukatnesa'ma haniazana amage anteta tro nehuta, knare hutma manigahaze.
25 But in October of that year, Ishmael, whose grandfather Elishama was one of the relatives of the descendants of King David, went to Mizpah along with ten other men and assassinated/killed Gedaliah and all the men who were with him. There were also men from Judah and men from Babylon whom they assassinated.
Hianagi 7ni ikampina Elishama negeho Netania nemofo Ismaeli'a kinimofo naga'pinti nekino, 10ni'a vahe'ene eno Gedaliana ahe nefrino, mago'a Juda vahe'ene, mago'a Babiloni vahe'ma Mizpa kumate'ma mani'naza vahera zamahe fri'ne.
26 Then many [HYP] of the people from Judah, important people and unimportant ones, and the army captains, were very afraid of [what] the Babylonians [would do to them], so they fled to Egypt.
Hagi anama hutegeno'a Juda vahera ranteti vuno osite vigeno, sondia vahete kva vahe'enema Mizpa kumate'ma mani'nazaretira atre'za Babiloni vahe koro hu'za Isipi moparega vu'naze.
27 Thirty-seven years after King Jehoiachin of Judah was taken to Babylon, [Nebuchadnezzar’s son] Evil-Merodach became the king of Babylon. He was kind to Jehoiachin, and on April 2 of that year, he released/freed Jehoiachin from prison.
Hagi Juda kini ne' Jehoiakini'a 37ni'a kafufi Babilonia kina hu'ne. Hagi anama 37nima hia kafufina Evil-Merodaki'e nehaza ne'mo Babilonia kasefa kinia efore hu'ne. Hagi ana kafufina 12fu ikamofo 27ni zupa Evil-Merodaki'a Jehoiakinina asunku hunteno kinafintira katufente'ne.
28 He always spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and honored him more than the other kings who had been taken/exiled to Babylon.
Hagi Evil-Merodaki'a Jehoiakinina azeri so'e huno knare avu'avaza hu'nenteno mago'a kina vahe'ma Babilonima kina hu'za mani'naza vahe'ma kini ne'mo'ma zamazeri so'e nosia avamente Jehoiakinina azeri so'e hu'ne.
29 He gave Jehoiachin new clothes to replace the clothes that he had been wearing in prison, and he allowed Jehoiachin to eat at the king’s table every day for the rest of his life.
Ana higeno Jehoiakini'a kina vahe kuke'na mago'ene ontani'ne. Anama mani'nea kna'afina kinimofo nompinti ne'zana neneno manino vu'ne.
30 The king of Babylon also gave him money every day, so that he could buy the things that he needed. The king continued to do that until Jehoiachin died.
Hagi Babiloni kini ne'mo'a, Jehoiakinina nazano avesi'nia zama erisigura mika zupa zagoa amitere huno nevigeno, manime vuno ome fri'ne.
