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.
Awo Zeddekiya nga yakafugira emyaka mwenda, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’eggye lye lyonna ne balumba Yerusaalemi ku lunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi; ne basiisira ebweru waakyo, ne bakizimbako ebigo okukyetooloola.
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Awo ekibuga ne kizingizibwa okumala emyaka ebiri nga Zeddekiya y’akyali kabaka.
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.
Ku lunaku olw’omwenda mu mwezi ogwokuna enjala n’eba nnyingi nnyo mu kibuga, abantu ab’omu nsi ne babulwako n’emmere ey’okulya.
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.
Awo kabaka n’eggye lye lyonna abaali mu kibuga ne bawagula mu bbugwe ekituli, ekiro, ne badduka nga bayita mu mulyango ogwaliraananga ennimiro ya kabaka ne bayita ne ku Bakaludaaya abaali bazingizza ekibuga enjuuyi zonna.
5 But the Chaldean army pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Naye eggye ly’Abakaludaaya ne bagoberera kabaka, okutuusa lwe bamukwatira mu nsenyi ez’e Yeriko n’eggye lye lyonna ne lisaasaana okumwabulira.
6 Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgment on him.
Ne bawamba kabaka, ne bamuleeta eri kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libula gye yasalirwa omusango.
7 They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Ne battira batabani ba Zeddekiya mu maaso ge, ne bamuggyamu amaaso, ne bamuteeka mu masamba, n’atwalibwa e Babulooni.
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.
Awo ku lunaku olw’omusanvu mu mwezi ogwokutaano mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omwenda ogw’obwakabaka bwa Nebukadduneeza, kabaka w’e Babulooni, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi ow’eggye lya kabaka ery’oku ntikko, ate nga mwami wa kabaka w’e Babulooni n’ajja mu Yerusaalemi.
9 He burned Yahweh’s house, the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem. He burned every great house with fire.
N’ayokya yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’olubiri lwa kabaka, n’ennyumba zonna na buli kizimbe ekikulu era nga kya muwendo mu Yerusaalemi.
10 All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
Awo eggye lyonna ery’Abakaludaaya nga bakulemberwa omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko, ne bamenya bbugwe wa Yerusaalemi.
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.
Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’atwala abantu bonna abaali basigaddewo mu kibuga, mu buwaŋŋanguse nga basibe, n’abaali baasenga kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’abalala bonna abaali mu kibuga.
12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
Wabula yalekamu abaali basemberayo ddala obwavu mu nsi eyo, okulabiriranga emizabbibu n’okulimanga.
13 The Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze that were in Yahweh’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon.
Abakaludaaya ne bamenyaamenya empagi ez’ebikomo n’ebyuma ebyawaniriranga ennyanja ey’ekikomo, n’ennyanja ey’ekikomo, ebyali mu yeekaalu ya Mukama, n’ebikomo byamu ne babitwala e Babulooni.
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
Era baatwala n’entamu, n’ebisena, n’ebisalako ebisirinza, n’ebijiiko n’ebintu byonna eby’ekikomo ebyakozesebwanga mu yeekaalu.
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.
Omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’atwala n’ebyoterezo wamu n’ebibya ebyali ebya zaabu n’ebyali ebya ffeeza.
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house, the bronze of all these vessels was not weighed.
Ekikomo ekyava mu mpagi ebbiri, ne mu nnyanja, ne mu byuma ebyawaniriranga ennyanja ey’ekikomo, Sulemaani bye yakolera yeekaalu ya Mukama, obuzito bwakyo nga tebumanyiddwa.
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.
Buli mpagi obugulumivu yali mita munaana ne desimoolo emu ne ku mutwe gwayo nga kuliko ekikomo ng’obugulumivu bwakyo mita emu ne desimoolo ssatu, nga kitoneddwatoneddwa n’ebifaananyi n’amakomamawanga ag’ekikomo okukyetooloola. N’empagi eyookubiri yali ekoleddwa mu ngeri y’emu.
18 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
Omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’atwala nga basibe: Seraya kabona Asinga obukulu, n’omumyuka we Zeffaniya, n’abaggazi abasatu.
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.
Era yatwala n’omukungu eyaduumiranga abasajja abalwanyi, n’abakungu abalala bataano abatuulanga ku lukiiko lwa kabaka; era n’atwala n’omuwandiisi omukulu eyavunaanyizibwanga okuyingizanga abantu mu magye mu nsi ya Yuda, n’abasajja abannansi nkaaga abaasangibwa mu kibuga.
20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Abo bonna Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi ow’eggye ery’oku ntikko n’abatwalira kabaka w’e Babulooni e Libula.
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.
Kabaka w’e Babulooni n’abattira eyo e Libula, mu nsi y’e Kamasi. Bw’atyo Yuda n’atwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse nga musibe, okuva mu nsi ye.
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.
Awo Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’alonda Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, muzzukulu wa Safani okuba omukulembeze w’abo abaali basigaddewo mu Yuda.
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.
Awo abakungu ab’eggye n’abasajja abalala bwe baawulira nga kabaka w’e Babulooni alonze Gedaliya okuba omukulembeze, ne bagenda eri Gedaliya e Mizupa. Abasajja abakungu abo baali Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, ne Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya, ne Seraya mutabani wa Tanukumesi Omunetofa, ne Yaazaniya mutabani w’Omumaakasi.
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.”
Gedaliya n’abalayirira bo n’abasajja baabwe n’abagamba nti, “Temutya bakungu Bakaludaaya, naye mutereere mu nsi muweereze kabaka w’e Babulooni kale ebintu byonna binaabagendera bulungi.”
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.
Naye mu mwezi ogw’omusanvu, Isimayiri mutabani wa Nesaniya, muzzukulu wa Erisaama ow’olulyo olulangira n’ajja n’abasajja kkumi, n’alumba Gedaliya era n’amutta, awamu n’Abayudaaya; n’Abakaludaaya abaali awamu naye e Mizupa nabo n’abatta.
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.
Awo abantu bonna okuviira ddala ku wawansi okutuukira ddala ku w’eddaala erya waggulu, n’abamaggye abakulu bonna, ne baddukira e Misiri, nga batidde Abakaludaaya.
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,
Awo Yekoyakini kabaka wa Yuda nga yakamala emyaka amakumi asatu mu musanvu mu buwaŋŋanguse mu busibe, nga Evirumerodaki kyajje afuuke kabaka w’e Babulooni, Evirumerodaki n’ata Yekoyakini kabaka wa Yuda okuva mu kkomera ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu omusanvu mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri.
28 and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
N’ayogera naye ebigambo ebyekisa, n’amuwa n’ekitiibwa ekya waggulu okusinga ne bakabaka abalala abaali awamu naye mu buwaŋŋanguse mu busibe e Babulooni.
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
Awo Yekoyakini n’aggyamu ebyambalo bye eby’ekkomera n’aliiranga wamu ne kabaka w’e Babulooni ku mmeeza ya kabaka ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe.
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.
Kabaka n’awanga Yekoyakini omugabo ogwa buli lunaku ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe.
