2 Maũndũ 36
1 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a bũrũri ũcio makĩoya Jehoahazu mũriũ wa Josia, makĩmũtua mũthamaki kũu Jerusalemu ithenya rĩa ithe.
And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead, in Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahazu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩeri ĩtatũ.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Mũthamaki wa Misiri akĩmweheria ũthamaki-inĩ kũu Jerusalemu na agĩtuĩra Juda igooti rĩa taranda igana rĩmwe cia betha, na taranda ĩmwe ya thahabu.
And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Mũthamaki wa Misiri agĩtua Eliakimu, mũrũ wa ithe na Jehoahazu, mũthamaki wa gũthamaka Juda na Jerusalemu, na akĩgarũra rĩĩtwa rĩa Eliakimu akĩmũtua Jehoiakimu. No Neko agĩthaamia Jehoahazu mũrũ wa ithe na Jehoiakimu akĩmũtwara Misiri.
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 Jehoiakimu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wake.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God.
6 Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni akĩmũtharĩkĩra, na akĩmuoha na mĩnyororo ya gĩcango akĩmũtwara Babuloni.
Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him with chains of brass to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebukadinezaru ningĩ nĩatwarire indo cia hekarũ ya Jehova kũu Babuloni na agĩciiga thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake kuo.
And Nebuchadnezzar carried [part] of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoiakimu, na maũndũ ma magigi marĩa eekire, na maũndũ marĩa mothe oonirwo ahĩtĩtie-rĩ, maandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Isiraeli na a Juda. Nake mũriũ Jehoiakini agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
9 Jehoiakini aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩeri ĩtatũ na mĩthenya ikũmi. Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
10 Ihinda rĩa mahaanda-rĩ, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru akĩmũtũmanĩra, akĩrehwo Babuloni hamwe na indo cia goro kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, nake agĩtua Zedekia, ithe mũnini wa Jehoiakini, mũthamaki wa gũthamaka Juda na Jerusalemu.
And at the turn of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of Jehovah; and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wake, na ndaigana kwĩnyiihia mbere ya Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii, ũrĩa waaragia kiugo kĩa Jehova.
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before the prophet Jeremiah speaking from the mouth of Jehovah.
13 O na ningĩ nĩaremeire Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru, o ũrĩa wamwĩhĩtithĩtie na mwĩhĩtwa akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai. Akĩũmia kĩongo na akĩũmia ngoro yake, na ndaigana gũcookerera Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take oath by God; and he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from returning to Jehovah the God of Israel.
14 O na ningĩ-rĩ, atongoria othe a athĩnjĩri-Ngai na andũ nĩmathiire na mbere kwaga wĩhokeku, makĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo ĩrĩ magigi ya ndũrĩrĩ, na magathaahagia hekarũ ya Jehova ĩrĩa aamũrĩte kũu Jerusalemu.
All the chiefs of the priests also, and the people, increased their transgressions, according to all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao, akĩmatũmĩra ndũmĩrĩri na tũnua twa atũmwo ake rĩngĩ na rĩngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguagĩra andũ ake tha, o na gĩikaro gĩake.
And Jehovah the God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending; because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling-place.
16 No-o makĩnyũrũria andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ Ngai, makĩmenereria ciugo ciake, na makĩnyarara anabii ake, o nginya marakara ma Jehova makĩarahũkĩra andũ ake na gũkĩaga kĩhonia.
But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his people, and there was no remedy.
17 Akĩmarehithĩria mũthamaki wa andũ a Babuloni amokĩrĩre, ũrĩa woragĩire andũ ao ethĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora kũu nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa nyamũre, na ndaigana kũhonokia mwanake, kana mũirĩtu, kana mũndũ mũkũrũ, o na kana ũrĩa mũkũrũ akahocerera. Ngai akĩneana andũ acio othe kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru.
And he brought up [against] them the king of the Chaldees, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and spared not young man nor maiden, old man nor him of hoary head: he gave [them] all into his hand.
18 Agĩkuua indo kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai, agĩcitwara Babuloni, ciothe iria nene na iria nini, na igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Jehova, o na igĩĩna cia mũthamaki o na cia anene ake.
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, he brought all to Babylon.
19 Ningĩ magĩcina hekarũ ya Ngai na makĩmomora rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu; magĩcina nyũmba ciothe cia ũthamaki, o na makĩananga indo ciothe cia bata iria ciarĩ kuo.
And they burned the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof were given up to destruction.
20 Matigari ma andũ arĩa maahonokire kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru akĩmatwara Babuloni, nao magĩtuĩka ndungata ciake na cia ariũ ake, o nginya rĩrĩa ũthamaki wa Perisia wacookire gũthamaka.
And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; and they became servants to him and his sons, until the reign of the kingdom of Persia;
21 Bũrũri ũgĩkĩgĩa na ũhurũko wa Thabatũ ciaguo; ũkĩhurũka hĩndĩ ĩyo yothe wakirĩte ihooru, nginya mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja ĩgĩthira, nĩguo kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Jeremia kĩhiinge.
to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
22 Mwaka wa mbere wa Kurusu mũthamaki wa Perisia, nĩguo kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Jeremia kĩhiinge-rĩ, Jehova akĩarahũra ngoro ya Kurusu mũthamaki wa Perisia aanĩrĩrithie kũrĩa guothe aathamakaga, na andĩke atĩrĩ:
And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
23 “Kurusu, mũthamaki wa Perisia, oiga ũũ, “‘Jehova, Ngai wa igũrũ, nĩaheete mothamaki mothe ma thĩ, na nĩanyamũrĩte ndĩmwakĩre hekarũ kũu Jerusalemu bũrũri wa Juda. Mũndũ wake o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, Jehova Ngai wake aroikara hamwe nake, rĩu no aambate athiĩ kuo.’”
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up.
