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.
Nʼafọ nke itoolu nke ọchịchị ya, nʼọnwa nke iri, nʼụbọchị nke iri, Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn duuru ndị agha ya niile bịa ibuso Jerusalem agha. Ọ mara ụlọ ikwu nʼazụ obodo ahụ, wukwaa mgbidi nnọchibido gburugburu obodo ahụ.
2 So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Anọchibidoro obodo a nʼagha ruo nʼafọ nke iri na otu nke ọchịchị eze Zedekaya.
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.
Nʼụbọchị nke itoolu nke ọnwa anọ nʼafọ ahụ, oke ụnwụ siri ike dị nʼobodo ahụ ruo na ọ dịkwaghị nri dị nke ndị mmadụ ga-eri.
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 Kasdim were against the city around it); and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
Mgbe ahụ, e tipuru oghere nʼaja mgbidi obodo ahụ, ndị agha niile ji abalị gbapụ site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼetiti mgbidi abụọ nʼakụkụ ubi eze a gbara ogige, nʼagbanyeghị na ndị Kaldịa nọ obodo ahụ gburugburu. Ha gbapụrụ chee ihu nʼụzọ 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.
Ma ndị agha Kaldịa chụsoro eze nʼazụ, chụkwute ya na mbara ala Jeriko. Ndị agha ya niile sitere nʼebe ọ nọ gbasasịa, hapụ ya,
6 Then they captured the king and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they passed judgement on him.
e jide ya. Ha kpụgara ya eze Babilọn, nʼobodo Ribla, ebe a nọ maa ya ikpe.
7 They killed Zedekiah’s sons before his eyes, then put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
Ha gburu ụmụ ndị ikom Zedekaya nʼihu ya. Ha ghụpụrụ anya ya abụọ, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, kpọrọ ya gaa Babilọn.
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.
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nʼọnwa nke ise nke afọ iri na itoolu nke ọchịchị eze Nebukadneza na Babilọn, Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche, onyeisi nʼọrụ eze Babilọn, bịarutere 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.
O sunyere ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọkụ, ụlọeze na ụlọ niile dị na Jerusalem, ụlọ ọbụla bụ nke dị mkpa ka o surere ọkụ
10 All the army of the Kasdim, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
Ndị agha Kaldịa niile bụ ndị nọ nʼokpuru onyeisi ndị nche eze kwaturu mgbidi niile gbara Jerusalem gburugburu.
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, ọchịagha ndị nche eze, buuru ụfọdụ mmadụ ndị fọdụrụ nʼobodo, na ndị niile fọdụkwara, ha na ndị ọzọ ahụ ji aka ha gbakwuru eze bulaa ha Babilọn, ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ.
12 But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
Ma ọchịagha ahụ, hapụrụ ụfọdụ na ndị ahụ bụ nnọọ ndị ogbenye ọnụ ntụ, ka ha na-elekọta ubi vaịnị niile a gbara ogige na ala ubi niile.
13 The Kasdim 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.
Ma ndị Babilọn tipịara ogidi bronz niile, ha na ihe ndọkwasị niile na oke osimiri bronz ndị ahụ dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, buru bronz ndị ahụ bulaa Babilọn.
14 They took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.
Ha chịkọọrọ ite niile, na shọvel niile, na ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ, na ngaji ukwu niile na ngwa bronz niile nke e ji eje ozi nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
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.
Ọchịagha ndị nche eze, chịrị ihe ịgụnye ọkụ niile, efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile, ya bụ ihe ndị ahụ niile e ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha maọbụ ọlaọcha kpụọ.
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.
O bukwara bronz sitere nʼogidi abụọ ahụ, oke Osimiri ahụ na ihe ndọkwasị ya niile, nke eze bụ Solomọn mere nʼihi ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ha karịrị ihe a ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ tụọ.
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.
Ị dị elu nke otu nʼime ogidi abụọ ndị a bụ mita asatọ na ụma nʼọtụtụ. Isi bronz nke e kpukwasịrị nʼotu ogidi dị otu mita na ọkara nʼịdị elu. Ọ bụkwa ihe yiri mkpụrụ pomegranet e ji bronz kpaa, ka e ji chọọ ya mma gburugburu ya niile. Ogidi nke abụọ nwekwara pomegranet, yiri ibe ya.
18 The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
Ọchịagha ndị nche eze ahụ, kpụụrụ Seraya, onyeisi nchụaja, na Zefanaya, bụ onye nchụaja na-esote ya nʼọkwa, na ndị nche atọ na-eche ọnụ ụzọ mbata.
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.
O sitere nʼetiti ndị ahụ fọdụrụ nʼobodo kpụụrụ otu onyeisi na-ahụ maka ndị agha, na ndị ikom ise na-enye eze ndụmọdụ. O kpukwaara ode akwụkwọ, onye isi ọrụ na-ahụ maka ịmanye ndị ga-aga agha, jidekwa iri ndị ikom isii ndị ọrụ mmanye, ndị a hụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ.
20 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Nebuzaradan, bụ ọchịagha kpụụrụ ha niile dute ha nʼihu eze Babilọn na Ribla.
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.
Nʼebe ahụ, na Ribla dị nʼobodo Hamat, ka eze nọ nye iwu ka e gbuo ha niile. Ya mere, a dọọrọ Juda nʼagha, mee ka ọ ga biri nʼala ọzọ.
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.
Emesịa, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn họpụtara Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa nwa Shefan, ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta ndị fọdụrụ na 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, Yochanan the son of Kareah, Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
Mgbe ndịisi agha na ndị ikom ha nụrụ na eze Babilọn emeela Gedaliya onye na-achị ala ahụ, ha bịakwutere Gedaliya na Mizpa. Ndị bịakwutere ya bụ, Ishmel nwa Netanaya, Johanan nwa Kariya, Seraya nwa Tanhumet, onye Netofa, na Jaazanaya nwa onye Maaka, na ndị ikom ha.
24 Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, “Don’t be afraid because of the servants of the Kasdim. Dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
Gedaliya ṅụọrọ ha iyi, ṅụkwaara ndị ikom ha, sị, “Unu atụla egwu nʼihi ndịisi ọrụ Babilọn. Birinụ nʼala a, feekwa eze Babilọn, ihe ga-agara unu nke ọma.”
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 Kasdim that were with him at Mizpah.
Ma nʼọnwa nke asaa, Ishmel nwa Netanaya, nwa Elishama, onye ya onwe ya si nʼagbụrụ eze, duuru mmadụ iri bịa Mizpa, tigbuo Gedaliya, na ndị ikom Juda na ndị Kaldịa niile, bụ ndị ya na ha nọ.
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 Kasdim.
Nke a mere ka ndị Juda niile, site nʼonye nta ruo nʼonye ukwu, ha na ndịisi agha ndị ahụ biliri gaa Ijipt, nʼihi na ha tụrụ ndị Kaldịa egwu.
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,
Nʼafọ nke iri atọ na asaa, site na mgbe e mere ka Jehoiakin eze Juda gaa biri nʼala ọzọ, nʼafọ Awel-Maduk ghọrọ eze Babilọn, o mere ka Jehoiakin si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ pụta nwere onwe ya. Ọ bụ nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na asaa nke ọnwa iri na abụọ ka o mere nke a.
28 and he spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
Ọ gwara ya okwu ọma, nye ya oche ọnọdụ ya dị elu karịa nke ndị eze ndị ọzọ ya na ha nọ na Babilọn.
29 and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
Nʼihi nke a, Jehoiakin gbanwere uwe mkpọrọ ya, wezuga ya. Sitekwa nʼoge ahụ, tutu ruo mgbe ọ nwụrụ, ya na eze na-erikọ nri.
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.
Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, eze Babilọn na-enye Jehoiakin oke ihe ruru ya kwa ụbọchị niile nke ọ dị ndụ.
