2 Athamaki 24
1 Hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa Jehoiakimu-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩtharĩkĩra bũrũri, na Jehoiakimu agĩtuĩka ndungata yake mĩaka ĩtatũ. No Jehoiakimu akĩgarũrũka, akĩremera Nebukadinezaru.
In his dayes came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vp, and Iehoiakim became his seruant three yeere: afterwarde he turned, and rebelled against him.
2 Jehova agĩtũma mbũtũ cia gũtahana cia kuuma Babuloni, na Suriata, na Moabi, na Amoni ikahũũrane nake. Agĩcitũma ikaanange Juda, kũringana na ũrĩa kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩatariĩ, kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ ndungata ciake cia anabii.
And the Lord sent against him bandes of the Caldees, and bands of the Aramites, and bands of the Moabites, and bandes of the Ammonites, and he sent them against Iudah to destroy it, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by his seruants the Prophets.
3 Ti-itherũ maũndũ macio meekĩkire Juda kũringana na watho wa Jehova, nĩguo ameherie moime mbere yake tondũ wa mehia ma Manase na ũrĩa wothe eekĩte,
Surely by the commandement of the Lord came this vpon Iudah, that he might put them out of his sight for the sinnes of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 o hamwe na gũita thakame ya andũ matehĩtie. Nĩgũkorwo nĩaiyũrĩtie Jerusalemu na thakame ya andũ matehĩtie, nake Jehova ndaigana kũmarekera.
And for the innocent blood that he shed, (for he filled Ierusalem with innocent blood) therefore the Lord would not pardon it.
5 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoiakimu, na marĩa mothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kinges of Iudah?
6 Jehoiakimu akĩhurũka na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Jehoiakini agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
So Iehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Iehoiachin his sonne reigned in his steade.
7 Mũthamaki wa Misiri ndaigana kuuma bũrũri wake rĩngĩ, tondũ mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatunyanĩte bũrũri wothe ũrĩa warĩ wa mũthamaki wa Misiri kuuma Karũũĩ ka Misiri nginya Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
And the King of Egypt came no more out of his lande: for the King of Babel had taken from the riuer of Egypt, vnto the riuer Perath, all that pertained to the King of Egypt.
8 Jehoiakini aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka Jerusalemu mĩeri ĩtatũ. Nyina eetagwo Nehushita mwarĩ wa Elinathani, kuuma Jerusalemu.
Iehoiachin was eighteene yere old, when he beganne to reigne, and reigned in Ierusalem three moneths. His mothers name also was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Ierusalem.
9 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe eekĩte.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo anene a Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni magĩũka nginya Jerusalemu, makĩrigiicĩria itũũra rĩu,
In that time came the seruants of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel vp against Ierusalem: so the citie was besieged.
11 nake Nebukadinezaru we mwene agĩũka nginya itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, hĩndĩ ĩyo anene ake maarĩrigiicĩirie.
And Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came against the citie, and his seruants did besiege it.
12 Nake Jehoiakini mũthamaki wa Juda, na nyina, na ndungata ciake, na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta, na anene ake othe makĩĩneana kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru. Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩnana wa wathani wa Babuloni nĩguo aanyiitire Jehoiakini.
Then Iehoiachin the king of Iudah came out against the King of Babel, he, and his mother and his seruants, and his princes, and his eunuches: and the King of Babel tooke him in the eyght yeere of his reigne.
13 Nebukadinezaru nĩarutire mĩthiithũ yothe kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova na nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki, agĩkuua indo ciothe cia thahabu iria Solomoni mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aathondekeire hekarũ ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
And he caryed out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house, and brake all the vessels of gold, which Salomon King of Israel had made in the Temple of the Lord, as the Lord had saide.
14 Agĩkuua andũ othe a Jerusalemu akĩmatwara ithaamĩrio: anene othe, na arũi a mbaara, na mabundi mothe, o na aturi; othe maarĩ andũ 10,000. No andũ arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno a bũrũri ũcio no-o maatigirwo.
And he caryed away all Ierusalem, and all the princes, and all the strong men of warre, euen ten thousande into captiuitie, and all the workemen, and cunning men: so none remained sauing the poore people of the lande.
15 Nebukadinezaru agĩtwara Jehoiakini arĩ mũgwate nginya Babuloni. Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩkuua nyina wa mũthamaki kuuma Jerusalemu nginya Babuloni, na atumia ake, na anene ake, o na atongoria ake a bũrũri.
And he caryed away Iehoiachin into Babel, and the Kings mother, and the Kinges wiues, and his eunuches, and the mightie of the lande caryed he away into captiuitie from Ierusalem to Babel,
16 Ningĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩthaamĩria mbũtũ yothe ya ita nginya Babuloni; ita rĩothe rĩa andũ 7,000 arĩa arũi, na me hinya na mangĩhota kũrũa, na mabundi na aturi 1,000.
And al the men of warre, euen seuen thousand, and carpenters, and lockesmithes a thousande: all that were strong and apt for warre, did the King of Babel bring to Babel captiues.
17 Agĩcooka agĩtua Matania, mama-we wa Jehoiakini, mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na akĩgarũra rĩĩtwa rĩake, akĩmũtua Zedekia.
And the King of Babel made Mattaniah his vncle King in his steade, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Hamutali mwarĩ wa Jeremia, na oimĩte Libina.
Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Hamutal the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
19 Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehoiakimu eekĩte.
And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done.
20 Maũndũ macio mothe meekirwo Jerusalemu na Juda nĩ tondũ wa marakara ma Jehova, na mũthia-inĩ akĩmaingata mehere mbere yake. Nake Zedekia akĩremera mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
Therefore certainly the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah vntill he cast them out of his sight. And Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.
