2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
Pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yehoyakimu, Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anadzathira nkhondo dzikolo ndipo Yehoyakimu anakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wake zaka zitatu. Koma kenaka anasintha maganizo ake nawukira Nebukadinezara.
2 The LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
Yehova anatumiza magulu a Ababuloni, Aaramu, Amowabu ndi Aamoni, kudzathira nkhondo Yuda. Iye anawatumiza kudzawononga Yuda molingana ndi mawu amene Yehova ananeneratu kudzera mwa aneneri ake.
3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
Ndithu, izi zinachitikira Yuda monga momwe Yehova analamulira nʼcholinga choti awachotse pamaso pake chifukwa cha machimo a Manase ndi zonse zimene anachita,
4 and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.
kuphatikizapo kukhetsa magazi a anthu osalakwa. Chifukwa iye anadzaza Yerusalemu ndi magazi a anthu osalakwa ndipo Yehova sanafune kumukhululukira.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ntchito zina za Yehoyakimu ndi zonse zimene anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a Yuda?
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
Yehoyakimu anamwalira ndipo anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Yehoyakini mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
7 The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
Mfumu ya Igupto sinatulukenso mʼdziko lake chifukwa mfumu ya Babuloni inalanda mayiko onse kuchokera ku Mtsinje wa ku Igupto mpaka ku Mtsinje wa Yufurate.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Yehoyakini anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 18 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu miyezi itatu. Amayi ake anali Nehusita mwana wa Elinatani wa ku Yerusalemu.
9 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira abambo ake.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Nthawi imeneyo ankhondo a Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anabwera ku Yerusalemu nazinga mzindawo ndi misasa ya nkhondo
11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
ndipo Nebukadinezara anafika ku mzindawo pamene ankhondo ake anawuzinga.
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.
Yehoyakini mfumu ya Yuda pamodzi ndi amayi ake, atumiki ake, anthu ake olemekezeka ndiponso akuluakulu onse anadzipereka kwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Mfumu ya Babuloni inagwira Yoyakini ukapolo mʼchaka chachisanu ndi chitatu cha ufumu wake.
13 He carried out from there all the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the LORD’s temple, as the LORD had said.
Monga ananenera Yehova, Nebukadinezara anachotsa chuma chonse cha mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndiponso cha mʼnyumba ya mfumu ndipo anatenga ziwiya zonse zagolide za ku Nyumba ya Yehova zimene Solomoni mfumu ya Israeli anapanga.
14 He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
Anatenga anthu onse a mu Yerusalemu kupita nawo ku ukapolo. Akuluakulu onse pamodzi ndi anthu ankhondo, anthu onse aluso ndi amisiri osula onse pamodzi analipo 10,000. Osauka okha ndiye anatsala mʼdzikomo.
15 He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Nebukadinezara anatenga Yehoyakini ngati kapolo kupita naye ku Babuloni. Mu Yerusalemu anatenganso amayi a mfumu, akazi ake, akuluakulu ake ndiponso anthu olemekezeka mʼdzikomo.
16 All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
Mfumu ya Babuloni inatumizanso ku Babuloni anthu ankhondo 70,000, anthu amphamvu ndi okonzeka kupita ku nkhondo, anthu aluso ndi amisiri osula 1,000.
17 The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Iye analonga ufumu Mataniya, malume wa Yoyakini mʼmalo mwake ndipo anasintha dzina lake kuti akhale Zedekiya.
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Zedekiya anakhala mfumu ali ndi zaka 21 ndipo analamulira mu Yerusalemu zaka 11. Amayi ake anali Hamutali mwana wa Yeremiya wa ku Libina.
19 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova monga anachitira Yehoyakimu.
20 For through the anger of the LORD, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Zonsezi zinachitikira Yerusalemu ndi Yuda chifukwa cha mkwiyo wa Mulungu ndipo pa mapeto pake anawachotsa pamaso pake. Ndipo Zedekiya anawukira mfumu ya Babuloni.
