2 Kings 25
1 It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem. He camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
Tango Sedesiasi akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza mpe ya zomi, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso, ayaki kobundisa Yelusalemi. Batongaki molako na bango libanda ya engumba, mpe atongaki mabulu mpo na kobombama, na zingazinga na yango nyonso.
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
Engumba yango ezingelamaki kino na mobu ya zomi na moko ya bokonzi ya Sedesiasi.
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month of that year, the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
Na mokolo ya libwa ya sanza ya minei, wana nzala makasi ekotaki kati na engumba mpe bato bazalaki lisusu na eloko ya kolia te,
4 Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled at night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. The king went in the direction of the Arabah.
bongo lokola lidusu moko efungwamaki kati na mir ya engumba, basoda nyonso ya Yuda bakimaki butu-butu mpe babimelaki na ekuke oyo ezalaki na kati-kati ya bamir mibale, pene ya elanga ya mokonzi, atako bato ya Babiloni bazingelaki engumba. Bakimaki na nzela ya lubwaku ya Yordani.
5 But the army of Chaldeans pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
Kasi basoda ya Babiloni balandaki mokonzi mpe bakangaki ye kati na etando ya Jeriko epai wapi basoda na ye nyonso bakimaki ye mpe bapanzanaki.
6 They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they passed sentence on him.
Basoda ya Babiloni bakangaki mokonzi ya Yuda mpe bamemaki ye epai ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, na Ribila epai wapi bakatelaki ye etumbu.
7 As for Zedekiah's sons, they slaughtered them before his eyes. Then he put out his eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him to Babylon.
Bakataki mito ya bana mibali ya Sedesiasi na miso na ye; mpe Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atobolaki miso ya Sedesiasi, apesaki mitindo ete bakanga ye minyololo ya bronze mpe bamema ye na Babiloni.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, a servant of the king of Babylon and commander of his bodyguards, came to Jerusalem.
Tango Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, akokisaki mibu zomi na libwa na bokonzi, Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli mpe mosali ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, ayaki na Yelusalemi na mokolo ya sambo ya sanza ya mitano.
9 He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
Atumbaki Tempelo ya Yawe, ndako ya mokonzi mpe bandako nyonso ya Yelusalemi; atumbaki bandako nyonso ya bato minene.
10 As for all the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were under the commander of the bodyguard destroyed them.
Mampinga nyonso ya Babiloni, oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi babukaki bamir oyo ezingelaki Yelusalemi.
11 As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the remainder of the population—Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them away into exile.
Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, amemaki na bowumbu bato oyo batikalaki kati na engumba, bato oyo bamipesaki epai ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bato mosusu oyo batikalaki.
12 But the commander of the bodyguard did leave some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
Kasi mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi atikaki kati na mokili ndambo ya babola mpo na kolona vino mpe bilanga.
13 As for the bronze pillars that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried the bronze back to Babylon.
Bato ya Babiloni babukaki makonzi ya bronze oyo ezalaki liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe, bashario ya bronze mpe nzungu ya monene ya bronze oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, mpe bamemaki bronze na yango na Babiloni.
14 The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, spoons, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
Bakamataki lisusu biloko nyonso ya bronze oyo bazalaki kosala na yango losambo kati na Tempelo, basani ya putulu, bapawu, bambeli, bakopo.
15 The pots for removing ashes and the bowls that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the captain of the king's guard took them away as well.
Mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi akamataki lisusu biloko nyonso ya wolo mpe ya palata: bambabola mpe basani ya kobwakela mayi.
16 The two pillars, the sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh contained more bronze than could be weighed.
Bakokaki te komeka kilo ya bronze ya biloko nyonso oyo Salomo asalaki mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe: makonzi nyonso mibale, nzungu ya monene mpe bashario.
17 The height of the first pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was three cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around on the capital, all made of bronze. The other pillar and its latticework were the same as the first.
Likonzi moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene libwa na bosanda. Moto ya likonzi, oyo ezalaki na songe, ezalaki ya bronze mpe na metele pene moko na ndambo na molayi; mpe bazingelaki yango na bililingi ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama mpe bambuma ya grenade. Makonzi nyonso mibale mpe bililingi ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama ezalaki ndenge moko.
18 The commander of the bodyguard took Seraiah the chief priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
Mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi atiaki na boloko Seraya, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe; Sofoni, molandi ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe; mpe Banganga-Nzambe misato oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya kokengela ekotelo ya Tempelo.
19 From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and five men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
Kati na bato oyo batikalaki kati na engumba, akangaki lisusu moko kati na bakalaka ya lokumu, oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kotala makambo ya basoda ya bitumba, bapesi toli mitano, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kokoma bakombo ya bato ya mboka mpo na kokota na mosala ya mampinga; mpe mibali tuku motoba ya Yuda, oyo bakutaki kati na engumba.
20 Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, akamataki bango nyonso mpe amemaki bango epai ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, na Ribila.
21 The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
Mokonzi ya Babiloni abomaki bango kuna na Ribila, kati na mokili ya Amati. Boye, bato ya Yuda bakendeki na bowumbu mosika ya mokili na bango.
22 As for the people who remained in the land of Judah, those whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he put Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, in charge of them.
Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atiaki Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami mpe koko ya Shafani, lokola moyangeli ya bato oyo atikaki kati na mokili ya Yuda.
23 Now when all the commanders of the soldiers, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah. These men were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maakathite—they and their men.
Tango bakonzi nyonso ya mampinga elongo na basoda na bango bayokaki ete mokonzi ya Babiloni akomisi Gedalia moyangeli, bakendeki na Mitsipa epai ya Gedalia. Tala bakombo ya bato yango: Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania; Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea; Seraya, mwana mobali ya Tanumeti, moto ya Netofa; mpe Yazania, mwana mobali ya moto moko ya Maakati. Bakendeki kuna elongo na basoda na bango.
24 Gedaliah made an oath to them and to their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you.”
Gedalia alapaki ndayi liboso na bango mpe basoda na bango na maloba oyo: « Bobanga te kosalela bato ya Babiloni, bovanda kati na mokili, bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bokozala na bino malamu. »
25 But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, came with ten men and attacked Gedaliah. Gedaliah died, along with the men of Judah and the Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.
Kasi na sanza ya misato, Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania mpe koko ya Elishama, oyo azalaki na molongo ya libota ya bokonzi, ayaki elongo na basoda zomi; babomaki Gedalia elongo na bato ya Yuda mpe bato ya Babiloni oyo bazalaki elongo na ye, na Mitsipa.
26 Then all the people, from the least to the greatest, and the commanders of the soldiers, arose and went to Egypt, because they were afraid of the Babylonians.
Boye bato nyonso, kobanda na bato ya se kino bato ya lokumu, elongo na bakonzi ya basoda, bakimaki na Ejipito, pamba te bazalaki kobanga bato ya Babiloni.
27 It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Awel-Marduk king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
Tango Yeoyakini, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu tuku misato na sambo na bowumbu, Evili-Merodaki, mokonzi ya Babiloni, ayokelaki Yeoyakini, mokonzi ya Yuda, mawa mpe abimisaki ye na boloko, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na sambo ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, kaka na mobu oyo akomaki mokonzi.
28 He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
Evili-Merodaki asololaki na Yeoyakini na boboto mpe apesaki ye lokumu koleka bakonzi mosusu oyo bazalaki elongo na ye, na bowumbu kati na Babiloni;
29 Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life.
apesaki mitindo ete balongola ye bilamba ya boloko mpe andimaki ete abanda kolia mesa moko elongo na ye, mokolo na mokolo kino na suka ya bomoi na ye.
30 A regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life.
Mokonzi ya Babiloni azalaki kopesa ye nyonso oyo asengeli na yango mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye.
