2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it on all sides.
Pea ʻi hono hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻaia mo ʻene tau kotoa pē, ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, pea naʻa nau fakatoka ʻae tau ki ai; pea naʻa nau langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ki ai ʻo fakatakamilo.
2 And the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Pea naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae tau ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻoe tuʻi ko Setikia.
3 And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
Pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono fā ʻoe māhina, naʻe lahi ʻae honge ʻi he kolo, pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoe fonua.
4 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city on all sides: ) and [the king] went the way towards the plain.
Pea naʻe kapa ʻae kolo, pea naʻe hola ʻae kau tangata [tau ]kotoa pē ʻi he poʻuli ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā maka, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he ngoue ʻae tuʻi; (ka ko eni naʻe ʻāʻi ʻae kolo ʻe he kakai Kalitia: ) pea naʻe ʻalu [ʻae tuʻi ]ʻi he hala ki he toafa.
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
Pea naʻe tuli ʻae tuʻi ʻe he tau ʻae kakai Kalitia, ʻonau maʻu atu ʻi he toafa ʻo Sioatani, ka kuo movetevete ʻene tau kotoa pē meiate ia.
6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
Ko ia naʻa nau puke ʻae tuʻi, mo ʻohake ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi Lipila; pea naʻa nau fakamaauʻi ia.
7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
Pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Setikia ʻi hono ʻao, pea naʻe kapeʻi ʻae mata ʻo Setikia, pea haʻi ia ʻaki ʻae haʻi palasa, pea naʻe ʻave ia ki Papilone.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the month, which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem:
Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko hono hongofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe haʻu ai ki Selūsalema ʻa Nepusaletani, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man's] house he burnt with fire.
Pea naʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo e ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, mo e fale ʻoe tangataʻeiki kotoa pē naʻa ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that [were with] the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem on all sides.
Pea ko e tau kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻeiki pule ʻoe leʻo, naʻa nau holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo takatakai.
11 Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe tuku ʻi he kolo, pea mo e kau hola naʻe hoko ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, mo hono toenga ʻoe kakai tokolahi, naʻe fetuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Nepusaletani ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻo ne ʻave.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land [to be] vine-dressers and husbandmen.
Ka naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva ʻoe fonua ke nau tauhi ngoue vaine, mo tō ngoue.
13 And the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
Pea ko e ngaahi pou palasa naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga, mo e ʻaiʻanga vai palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe tā ʻo lailaiki ʻe he kakai Kalitia, ʻonau fetuku ʻae palasa ki Papilone.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered, they took away.
Pea ko e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi huo, mo e ngaahi helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa ʻaia naʻa nau fai ʻaki ʻae ngāue, naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave.
15 And the fire-pans, and the bowls, [and] such things as [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.
Mo e ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo e ngaahi meʻa koula, ʻi he koula, mo e siliva ʻi he siliva, naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo.
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Ko e pou ʻe ua, mo e ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe taha, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ki he fale ʻo Sihova: ko e palasa ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono mamafa.
17 The hight of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it [was] brass: and the hight of the capital three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the capital around, all of brass: and like to these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
Ko hono lōloa ʻoe pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu ma ono; pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ko e palasa ia: pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ko e hanga ia ʻe ono; pea naʻe palasa kotoa pē ʻae ngāue fihifihi mo e ngaahi fuaʻi ʻakau naʻe takatakai ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou: pea naʻe tatau mo ia ʻae ngāue fihifihi ʻi hono ua ʻoe pou.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻa Selaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo Sefanaia ko hono ua ʻoe taulaʻeiki, mo e kau leʻo matapā ʻe toko tolu.
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land [that were] found in the city:
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ia mei he kolo ʻae matāpule ʻe taha naʻe pule ki he kau tangata tau, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he kolo, mo e tangata naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he kau tangata tohi ʻoe tau, ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongofulu ʻoe kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he kolo:
20 And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
Naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ni ʻe Nepusaletani, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila.
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Lipila ʻi he fonua ʻo Hemati. Naʻe pehē ʻae fetuku ʻae kakai Siuta ke mamaʻo mei honau fonua.
22 And [as for] the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
Pea ko e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe fakanofo ke pule kiate kinautolu ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, ko e foha ʻo Safani.
23 And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of Maachathite, they and their men.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi kongakau, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau kakai, ʻo pehē kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Ketalia ke pule ia, naʻe haʻu ai kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻio, ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Netania, mo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, mo Selaia ko e foha ʻo Tanumeti ko e tangata Nitofa, mo Seasania ko e foha ʻoe tangata ʻo Meaka, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau kakai.
24 And Gedaliah swore to them, and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻa Ketalia kiate kinautolu, pea mo ʻenau kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē ke hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kakai Kalitia: nofo ʻi he fonua, pea tauhi ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te mou lelei ai.”
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Netania, ko e foha ʻo ʻIlisama ʻi he hako ʻoe tuʻi, ko ia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Ketalia, pea pekia ai ia, mo e kau Siu mo e kau Kalitia naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi Misipa.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae siʻi mo e lahi, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite; he naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai Kalitia.
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
Pea ʻi hono tolungofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe nofo pōpula ʻa Sihoiakini ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he taʻu naʻe kamata ʻene pule ʻa Ivili-Melotaki ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻa ne hiki hake ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sihoiakini ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mei he fale fakapōpula:
28 And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon;
Pea naʻa ne lea ʻofa kiate ia, pea naʻa ne hiki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi naʻe nofo mo ia ʻi Papilone;
29 And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
Pea naʻe fetongi hono ngaahi kofu fakafalepōpula: pea naʻe kai mā ia ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
30 And his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him by the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
Pea ko ʻene meʻakai naʻe tufa maʻuaipē mei he tuʻi, ko e tufakanga ki he ʻaho taki taha, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
