2 Kings 25
1 In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it around it.
Omiyo e odiechiengʼ mar apar mar dwe mar apar e higa mar ochiko mar loch Zedekia, Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nodhi gi jolweny mage duto momonjo Jerusalem. Nolworo dala maduongʼno mi ogoyone agengʼa koni gi koni.
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Dala maduongʼno ne ogone agengʼa nyaka higa mar apar gachiel mar ruoth Zedekia.
3 On the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
E odiechiengʼ mar ochiko e dwe mar angʼwen kech mane ni e dala maduongʼno nomedore makoro ne onge chiemo mane ji nyalo chamo.
4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
Bangʼ mano ohinga mar dala maduongʼno nomuki kendo jolweny duto noringo ka tony gotieno ka gikalo e rangach man e kind ohinga ariyo man but puoth ruoth, kata obedo ni jo-Babulon nolworo dala maduongʼno kamano. Negiringo ka gichomo Araba,
5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
to jolwenj Babulon nolawo ruoth mojuke e pewe Jeriko. Jolwenje duto noringo oweye moke,
6 Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgement on him.
kendo gimako ruoth. Ne gitere Ribla ir ruodh Babulon, kendo kanyo ema nongʼadne buch twech.
7 They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Neginego yawuot Zedekia e wangʼe koneno. Bangʼe negigolo wengene oko magitweye gi nyoroche mag nyinyo mi gitere Babulon.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
E odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo mar dwe mar abich e higa mar apar gochiko mar loch Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, Nebuzaradan jatend jolweny marito ruoth, ma en achiel kuom jodong ruodh Babulon nobiro Jerusalem.
9 He burnt the LORD’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burnt every great house with fire.
Nowangʼo hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, kar dak ruoth kod udi duto man Jerusalem. Bende nowangʼo udi duto moger mabeyo.
10 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
Jolweny duto mag Babulon mane ichiko gi jatend jolweny marito ruoth ne omuko ohinga moluoro Jerusalem.
11 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive the rest of the people who were left in the city and those who had deserted to the king of Babylon—all the rest of the multitude.
Nebuzaradan jatend jolweny notero e twech joma nodongʼ e dala maduongʼno, kaachiel gi oganda mamoko kod joma noringo modhi ir ruodh Babulon mondo otony.
12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
To jatend lweny noweyo jopinyno moko mane odhier ahinya mondo oti e puothe mag mzabibu kod puothe mamoko.
13 The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in the LORD’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
Jo-Babulon nomuko sirni mag mula, rachungi mag taya kod Karaya Maduongʼ mar mula mane ni e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo ne gitero mulago nyaka Babulon.
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
Bende negikawo agulni, opawo, gir ngʼado otambi mar taya, bakunde kod gik moko duto molos gi mula mane itiyogo e hekalu.
15 The captain of the guard took away the fire pans, the basins, that which was of gold, for gold, and that which was of silver, for silver.
Jatend jolweny marito ruoth nokawo gik moko duto molos gi dhahabu kata fedha ma gin gima iwangʼoe ubani kod bakunde mitimogo misengini.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the LORD’s house, the bronze of all these vessels was not weighed.
Mula mane ogolo e sirni ariyo, gi Karaya Maduongʼ kod rachungi mag taya, mane Solomon olosone hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, ne pek ma ok nyal pim.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on it. The height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital around it, all of bronze; and the second pillar with its network was like these.
Siro ka siro borne ne romo fut piero ariyo gabiriyo. Mula mane ni e ewi siro ka siro ne romo fut angʼwen gi nus, kendo nokede gi gik mongʼinore ongʼinore molwore koni gi koni. Siro machielo man-gi gik mongʼinore ongʼinore, ne chal kod mokwongo.
18 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
Jatend jolweny marito ruoth nomako Seraya jadolo maduongʼ, gi Zefania jadolo maluwe kod ji adek ma jorit dhoot hekalu moterogi e twech.
19 and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
To kuom joma ne odongʼ e dala maduongʼno, nomako jatelo mane ochungʼ ne jolweny kod ji abich ma jongʼad rieko ne ruoth. Bende nomako jagoro mane tichne en ndiko nying joma onego bed jolweny kod jodonge piero auchiel mane oyudi e dala maduongʼno.
20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Nebuzaradan jatend lweny nomakogi duto mokelogi Ribla ir ruodh Babulon.
21 The king of Babylon attacked them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Ruoth nogolo chik mondo neg-gi Ribla kanyo, e piny jo-Hamath. Omiyo Juda noter e twech mabor gi pinye owuon.
22 As for the people who were left 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, governor.
Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon noyiero Gedalia wuod Ahikam, ma wuod Shafan mondo otel ne ji mane odongʼ Juda.
23 Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, Johanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
Kane jatend jolweny duto kod jogi nowinjo ni ruodh Babulon oseyiero Gedalia kaka jatelo maduongʼ, negibiro ir Gedalia e dala miluongo ni Mizpa. Jogo ne gin Ishmael wuod Nethania, Johanan wuod Karea, Seraya wuod Tanhumeth ja-Netofath, Jazania ja-Maakath kod jogegi.
24 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
Gedalia nokwongʼore kosingorenegi niya, “Kik uluor jotend Babulon, to daguru e pinyni kendo mondo uti ne ruodh Babulon eka unudhi maber.”
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah so that he died, with the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
Kata kamano, e dwe mar abiriyo Ishmael wuod Nethania, ma wuod Elishama mane koth joka ruoth, nobiro gi ji apar ma ginego Gedalia kod jo-Juda gi jo-Babulon mane ni kode Mizpa.
26 All the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Nikech gima notimoreni, ji duto chakre jochan nyaka joma omewo, to gi jotend jolweny duto, noringo modhi Misri nikech negiluoro jo-Babulon.
27 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, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison,
E higa mar piero adek gabiriyo mar twech Jehoyakin ruodh Juda, e higa mane Evil-Merodak obedo ruodh Babulon, nogonyo Jehoyakin e twech e odiechiengʼ mar piero ariyo gabiriyo, e dwe mar apar gariyo.
28 and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
Nowuoyo kode modembore kendo nomiye kom duongʼ moloyo ruodhi mamoko mane ni kode e twech Babulon.
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
Omiyo Jehoyakin nolonyo lepe mag twech kendo e ndalo ngimane duto ne ochiemo pile pile e mesa ruoth.
30 and for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
Odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ, ruoth ne miyo Jehoyakin pok mowinjore kode ndalo duto mag ngimane.
