2 Maũndũ 36
1 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a bũrũri ũcio makĩoya Jehoahazu mũriũ wa Josia, makĩmũtua mũthamaki kũu Jerusalemu ithenya rĩa ithe.
Then 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 and 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 condemned the land in an 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 turned 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 and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH his Elohim.
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 in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebukadinezaru ningĩ nĩatwarire indo cia hekarũ ya Jehova kũu Babuloni na agĩciiga thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake kuo.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of YHWH 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.
Now 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 eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH.
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 when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of YHWH, and 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 one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and 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 that which was evil in the sight of YHWH his Elohim, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of YHWH.
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 swear by Elohim: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto YHWH Elohim 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.
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of YHWH 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 YHWH Elohim of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, 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 the messengers of Elohim, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of YHWH arose against his people, till 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.
Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: 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 Elohim, great and small, and the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought 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 burnt the house of Elohim, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
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 carried he away to Babylon; where they were 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 YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten 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:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of YHWH spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it 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 saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath YHWH Elohim of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? YHWH his Elohim be with him, and let him go up.
