< 2 Kings 25 >

1 Forsothe it was don in the nynthe yeer of his rewme, in the tenthe moneth, in the tenthe dai of the moneth, Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, cam, he, and al his oost, in to Jerusalem; and thei cumpassiden it, and bildiden `stronge thingis in the cumpass therof.
Ilitokea kwamba katika mwaka wa tisa wa utawala wa mfalme Sedekia, katika mwezi wa kumi, na siku ya kumi ya huo mwezi, Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli alikuja pamoja na jeshi lake lote kwa ajili ya kupigana dhidi ya Yerusalemu. Akaweka kambi kuelekeana nayo, na wakajenga ukuta kuizunguka.
2 And the citee was closid, and cumpassid, `til to the eleuenthe yeer of king Sedechie,
Hivyo mji huo ulizungukwa mpaka miaka kumi na moja ya utawala wa Sedekia.
3 in the nynthe day of the monethe; and hungur `hadde maistrie in the citee, and `breed was not to the puple of the lond.
Katika siku ya tisa ya mwezi wa nne wa huo mwaka, njaa ilikuwa kali sana kwenye huo mji kwamba hapakuwa na chakula kwa ajili ya watu wa nchi.
4 And the citee was brokun, and alle men werriours fledden in the niyt bi the weie of the yate, which is bitwixe the double wal, to the gardyn of the kyng; sotheli Caldeis bisegiden the citee `bi cumpas. Therfor Sedechie fledde bi the weie that ledith to the feeldi placis of the wildirnesse;
Wakati huo ule mji ulikuwa umebomoka ndani, na wapiganaji wote wakakimbia usiku kwa njia ya lango kati ya kuta mbili, karibu na bustani ya mfalme, ingawa Wakaldayo walikuwa wote wameuzunguka mji. Mfalme akaenda kuelekea upande wa Araba.
5 and the oost of Caldeis pursuede the king, and it took him in the pleyn of Jerico; and alle the werriours, that weren with him, weren scaterid, and leften him.
Lakini jeshi la Wakaldayo likamfuata mfalme Sedekia na kumchukua katika tambarare ya bonde la Mto Yoradani karibu na Yeriko. Jeshi lake lote lilitawanyika wakamwacha.
6 Therfor thei ledden the king takun to the king of Babiloyne, in to Reblatha, which spak dom with him, `that is, with Sedechie.
Wakamkamata mfalme na kumleta mpaka kwa mfalme wa Babeli huko Ribla, ambapo walipitisha hukumu juu yake.
7 Sotheli he killide the sones of Sedechie bifor him, and puttide out his iyen, and boond him with chaynes, and ledde him in to Babiloyne.
Kama kwa watoto wa Sedekia, wakawachinja mbele ya macho yake. Kisha akamtoa macho Sedekia, wakamfunga pingu, na kumpeleka hadi Babeli.
8 In the fifthe monethe, in the seuenthe dai of the monethe, thilke is the nyntenthe yeer of the king of Babiloyne, Nabuzardan, prince of the oost, seruaunt of the king of Babiloyne, cam in to Jerusalem;
Basi katika mwezi wa tano, katika siku ya saba ya mwezi, ambapo ulikuwa mwaka wa kumi na tisa wa utawala wa Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli, Nebuzaradani, mtumishi wa mfalme wa Babeli na amrijeshi wa walinzi wake, wakaja hadi Yerusalemu.
9 and he brente the hows of the Lord, and the hows of the king, and the housis of Jerusalem, and he brente bi fier ech hows;
Akaichoma moto nyumba ya Yahwe, nyumba ya mfalme, na nyumba zote za Yeruselemu; pia kila jengo la muhimu katika mji akayachoma.
10 and al the oost of Caldeis, that was with the prince of knyytis, distriede the wallis of Jerusalem `in cumpas.
Kama kwa kuta zote zilizoizunguka Yerusalemu, jeshi lote la Wababeli ambao walikuwa chini ya amrishi wa walinzi wakaziharibu.
11 Forsothe Nabuzardan, prince of the chyyualrie, translatide the tother part of the puple, that dwellide in the citee, and the fleeris, that hadden fled ouer to the king of Babiloyne, and the residue comyn puple;
Basi watu waliokuwa wamebaki ambao walikuwa wameondoka katika mji, wale waliokuwa wameasi kwa mfalme wa Babeli, na mabaki ya watu-Nebuzadani, amiri jeshi wa mlinzi, wakachukuliwa kwenda utumwani.
12 and he lefte of the pore men of the lond vyntilieris, and erthe tilieris.
Lakini amiri jeshi wa mlinzi aliwaacha baadhi ya maskini wa nchi ili wafanye kazi kwenye shamba la mizabibu na kulima.
13 Sotheli Caldeis braken the brasun pilers, that weren in the temple, and the foundementis, and the see of bras, that was in the hous of the Lord; and thei translatiden al the metal in to Babiloyne.
Na zile nguzo za shaba ambazo zilikuwa kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, na misimamio na bahari ya chuma ambayo ilikuwa kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe, Wakaldayo wakazivunja vipande vipande na kubeba shaba kuirudisha Babeli.
14 And thei token the pottis of bras, and trullis, and fleisch hokis, and cuppis, and morteris, and alle brasun vessels, in whiche thei mynystriden;
Masufuria, mabeleshi, makasi, vijiko, na vyombo vyote vya shaba ambavyo kuhani alivyokuwa amevitunza kwenye hekalu-Wakaldayo wakavichukua vyote.
15 also and censeris, and violis. The prince of the chyualrie took tho that weren of gold, and tho that weren of siluer,
Masufuria ya kuhamisha majivu na mabakuli ambayo yalikuwa yametengenezwa kwa dhahabu, na yale yaliyotengenezwa kwa fedha-yule nahodha wa mlinzi wa mfalme akavichukua pia.
16 that is, twei pileris, o see, and the foundementis, whiche king Salomon hadde maad `in to the temple of the Lord; and no weiyte was of metal of alle the vessels.
Zile nguzo mbili, ile bahari, na vile vitako ambavyo Suleimani alivitengeneza kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Yahwe shaba ya vyombo hivyo vyote haikuwa na uzani.
17 O piler hadde eiyten cubitis of hiyte, and a brasun pomel on it of the heiyte of thre cubitis, and a werk lijk a net, and pomgarnadis on the pomel of the piler, alle thingis of bras; and the secounde piler hadde lijk ournyng.
Urefu wa ile nguzo ya kwanza ulikuwa ridhaa kumi na nane, na kichwa cha shaba kilikuwa juu yake. Na urefu wa kichwa ulikuwa ridhaa tatu, pamoja na mapambo ya wavu na makomamanga yote yakizunguka kwenye hicho kichwa, vyote vilikuwa vimetengenezwa kwa shaba. Na ile nguzo nyingine ilikuwa vivyo hivyo kama ile ya kwanza pamoja na wavu wake.
18 Also the prince of the chyualrie took Saraie, the firste preest, and Sophony, the secunde prest,
Yule amiri jeshi wa mlinzi akamchukua Seraya kuhani mkuu, pamoja za Sefania, yule kuhani wa pili, na walinzi watatu wa kwenye lango.
19 and thre porteris, and oon onest seruaunt of the citee, that was a souereyn ouer men werriours, and fyue men `of hem that stoden bifor the king, whiche he foond in the citee; and he took Sopher, the prince of the oost, that preuide yonge knyytis, `ether men able to batel, of the puple of the lond, and sixe men of the comyns, that weren foundyn in the citee;
Kutoka mjini akamchukua mlinzi, afisa mmoja ambaye aliyekuwa msimamizi wa maaskari, na watu watano ambao walikuwa wakimshauri mfalme, ambao walikuwa bado katika mji. Pia alimchukua mfungwa wa afisa jeshi la mfalme, kwa ajili ya kuandika watu kwenye jeshi, pamoja na watu sitini muhimu kutoka hiyo nchi ambao walikuwa katika mji.
20 whiche Nabuzardan, prince of the chyualrie, took, and ledde to the king of Babiloyne, in to Reblatha.
Kisha Nebuzaradani, amiri wa mlinzi, akawachukua na kuwapeleka kwa mfalme Babeli huko Ribla.
21 And the kyng of Babiloyne smoot hem, and killide hem in Reblatha, in the lond of Emath; and Juda was translatid fro his lond.
Mfalme wa Babeli akawaua huko Ribla katika nchi ya Hamathi. Kwa njia hii, Yuda akaiacha nchi yake kwenda utumwani.
22 Sotheli he made souereyn Godolie, sone of Aicham, sone of Saphan, to the puple that was left in the lond of Juda; which puple Nabugodonosor, king of Babiloyne, hadde left.
Na wale watu waliokuwa wamebakia katika nchi ya Yuda, wale ambao Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli aliwaacha, akamuweka Gedalia mwana wa Ahikamu, mwana wa Shafani, msimamizi wao.
23 And whanne alle the duykis of knyytis hadde herd these thingis, thei, and the men that weren with hem, that is, that the king of Babiloyne hadde ordeyned Godolie, thei camen `to Godolie, in Maspha, Ismael, sone of Nathanye, and Johannan, sone of Charee, and Saraie, sone of Thenameth of Nechophat, and Jeconye, sone of Machati, thei, and Machat, and the felowis of hem.
Kisha wakati maamiri wote wa majeshi, wao na watu wao, waliposikia kwamba mfalme wa Babeli amemfanya Gedalia kuwa liwali, wakaenda kwa Gedalia huko Mispa. Hawa watu walikuwa Ishmaeli mwana wa Nethania, Yohanani mwana wa Karea, Seraya mwana wa Tanhumethi Mnetofa, na Yezania mwana wa Mmaaka-wao na watu wao.
24 And Godolie swoor to hem, and to the felowis of hem, and seide, Nyle ye drede to serue the Caldeis; dwelle ye in the lond, and serue ye the king of Babiloyne, and it schal be wel to you.
Gedalia akafanya kiapo kwa watu wake na kuwaambia, “Msiwaogope Wakaldayo. Muishi katika nchi na kumtumikia mfalme wa Babeli, na itakuwa vema kwenu.”
25 Forsothe it was don in the seuenthe monethe, `that is, sithen Godolie was maad souereyn, Hismael, the sone of Nathanye, sone of Elysama, of the `kyngis seed, cam, and ten men with hym, and thei smytiden Godolie, which diede; but also thei smytiden Jewis and Caldeis, that weren with hym in Maspha.
Lakini ilitokea kwamba katika mwezi wa saba Ishmaeli mwana wa Nethania mwana wa Elishama, kutoka familia ya kifalme, wakaja na watu kumi na kumshambulia Gedalia. Gedalia akafa, pamoja na watu wa Yuda na Wababeli ambao walikuwa pamoja nae huko Mizpa.
26 And al the puple roos fro litil `til to greet, and the prynces of knyytis, and camen in to Egipt, and dredden Caldeis.
Kisha wale watu wote, kutoka chini kwenda juu, na maamiri wa jeshi, wakainuka na kwenda Misri, kwasababu walikuwa wanawaogopa Wababeli.
27 Therfor it was doon in the seuenthe and threttithe yeer of transmigracioun, `ether passyng ouer, of Joakyn, kyng of Juda, in the tweluethe monethe, in the seuene and twentithe dai of the monethe, Euylmeradach, kyng of Babiloyne, in the yeer in which he bigan to regne, reiside the heed of Joakyn, kyng of Juda,
Ilitokea baadaye katika mwaka wa thelathini na saba wa utumwa wa Yekonia mfalme wa Yuda, katika mwezi wa kumi na mbili, siku ya ishirini na saba ya mwezi, Evil-merodaki mfalme wa Babeli akamtoa Yekonia mfalme wa Yuda kutoka gerezani. Hii ilitokea katika mwaka ambao Evil-Merodaki alipoanza kutawala.
28 fro prisoun, and spak to hym benygneli; and he settide the trone of Joakyn aboue the trone of kyngis, that weren with hym in Babilonye.
Akaongea naye kwa ukarimu na kumpatia kiti kizuri zaidi kuliko kile cha wafalme wengine ambao walikuwa pamoja naye Babeli.
29 And he chaungide `hise clothis, whiche he hadde in prisoun; and he eet breed euer in the siyt of Euylmeradach, in alle the daies of his lijf.
Evil-Merodaki akamvua Yekonia nguo za gerezani,
30 Also Euylmeradach ordeynede sustenaunce `to hym with out ceessyng; which sustenaunce also was youun of the kyng to hym bi alle daies, and in alle the daies of his lijf.
na Yekinia akala siku zote kwenye meza ya mfalme katika maisha yake yote yaliyokuwa yamebakia.
