1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mwaka-inĩ wa kenda wa ũthamaki wa Zedekia, mũthenya wa ikũmi, wa mweri wa ikũmi, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩthiĩ kũhũũrana na Jerusalemu arĩ na ita rĩake rĩothe. Nake akĩamba hema nja ya itũũra rĩu inene, na agĩaka indo cia kũmũteithia gũtharĩkĩra itũũra mĩena yothe yarĩo.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 Narĩo itũũra rĩkĩrigiicĩrio nginya mwaka wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa Mũthamaki Zedekia.
And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri wa kana, ngʼaragu ĩkĩneneha itũũra-inĩ, o nginya gũkĩaga irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ andũ.
And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Hĩndĩ ĩyo rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene rũkĩmomorwo, nayo mbũtũ yothe ya ita ĩkĩũra ũtukũ ĩgereire kĩhingo-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩarĩ gatagatĩ ga thingo cierĩ hakuhĩ na mũgũnda wa mũthamaki, o na gũtuĩka andũ a Babuloni nĩmarigiicĩirie itũũra rĩu inene. Nayo ĩkĩũra ĩrorete Araba,
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about: ) and [the king] went the way toward the plain.
5 no mbũtũ ya ita ya Babuloni ĩgĩtengʼeria mũthamaki, ĩkĩmũkinyĩra werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu wa Jeriko. Thigari ciake ciothe nĩciamũranĩtio nake na ikahurunjũka.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
6 Nayo mbũtũ ya ita ĩkĩnyiita mũthamaki ũcio, na agĩtwarwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni kũu Ribila kũrĩa aatuĩrĩirwo ciira.
So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 Makĩũraga ariũ a Zedekia o hau mbere yake, magĩcooka makĩmũkũũra maitho, makĩmuoha na bĩngũ cia gĩcango, na makĩmũtwara Babuloni.
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
8 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja wa mweri wa ĩtano mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na kenda wa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, Nebuzaradani mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki, ndungata nene ya mũthamaki wa Babuloni, agĩũka Jerusalemu.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the month, which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 Agĩcina hekarũ ya Jehova, na nyũmba ya ũthamaki, o na nyũmba ciothe cia Jerusalemu. Agĩcina nyũmba yothe yarĩ ya bata.
And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man’s] house burnt he with fire.
10 Nayo mbũtũ yothe ya ita ya Babuloni, ĩtongoretio nĩ mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki ĩkĩmomora thingo iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu.
And all the army of the Chaldees, that [were with] the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Nebuzaradani mũnene wa arangĩri nĩathaamirie andũ arĩa othe maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ inene, hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ kĩu kĩngĩ, na arĩa othe maathiĩte kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 No mũnene ũcio wa ita agĩtigia andũ amwe a arĩa athĩĩni mũno a bũrũri ũcio, nĩguo marutage wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ ya mĩthabibũ na mĩgũnda-inĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ.
But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land [to be] vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 Andũ a Babuloni nĩmoinangire itugĩ cia gĩcango, na metha cia kũigĩrĩra indo, na Karia ga gĩcango, iria ciarĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, na magĩkuua icango icio magĩcitwara Babuloni.
And the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 Ningĩ magĩkuua nyũngũ, na icakũri, na magathĩ ma gũtinia ndaambĩ, na mbakũri, na indo ciothe cia icango iria ciahũthagĩrwo wĩra-inĩ wa hekarũ, magĩthiĩ nacio.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 Mũnene ũcio wa thigari cia mũthamaki nĩakuuire ngĩo cia mwaki na mbakũri cia kũminjaminjĩria, iria ciothe ciathondeketwo na thahabu therie kana betha.
And the firepans, and the bowls, [and] such things as [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 Nakĩo gĩcango kuuma itugĩ iria igĩrĩ, na gĩa Karia, na kĩa makaari marĩa Solomoni aakĩte marĩ ma hekarũ ya Jehova, gĩtingĩathimĩkire nĩ kũingĩha.
The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Gĩtugĩ o kĩmwe kĩarĩ kĩa ũraihu wa buti mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja. Nakĩo kĩongo gĩakĩo kĩrĩa kĩarĩ igũrũ rĩa gĩtugĩ kĩmwe gĩacio kĩarĩ kĩa buti inya na nuthu kũraiha na igũrũ, na kĩagemetio na gĩgathiũrũrũkĩrio na mũkwa na makomamanga ma gĩcango. Gĩtugĩ kĩu kĩngĩ na mũkwa wakĩo nĩkĩahaanaine na kĩu kĩngĩ.
The height of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it [was] brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
18 Mũnene ũcio wa arangĩri nĩanyiitire Seraia mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, na Zefania ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai wa keerĩ, na arangĩri arĩa atatũ maarangagĩra mĩrango.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
19 Harĩ arĩa angĩ maatigaire kũu itũũra-inĩ inene, akĩnyiita mũnene ũrĩa warũgamĩrĩire andũ a mbaara, na andũ atano arĩa mataaraga mũthamaki. Ningĩ agĩkuua mwandĩki-marũa ũrĩa mũnene na nowe warĩ mũrori mũnene wa wandĩkithia wa andũ a bũrũri ũcio, na andũ ake mĩrongo ĩtandatũ arĩa maakorirwo itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene.
And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land [that were] found in the city:
20 Nebuzaradani ũcio mũnene wa arangĩri akĩmakuua othe, akĩmatwara kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni kũu Ribila.
And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 Nake mũthamaki wa Babuloni akĩmooragithĩria kũu Ribila, bũrũri wa Hamathu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Juda magĩtwarwo ithaamĩrio, kũraya na bũrũri wao.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
22 Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩthuura Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani akĩmũtua mũrori wa andũ arĩa maatigirwo Juda.
And [as for] the people that remained 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, ruler.
23 Rĩrĩa anene a mbũtũ cia ita othe na andũ ao maaiguire atĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩathuurĩte Gedalia atuĩke barũthi, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ Gedalia kũu Mizipa, nao nĩo, Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania, na Johanani mũrũ wa Karea, na Seraia mũrũ wa Tanihumethu ũrĩa Mũnetofathi, na Jaazania mũrũ wa Mũmaakathi, na andũ ao.
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
24 Gedalia akĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa wa kũmoomĩrĩria hamwe na andũ ao, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai gwĩtigĩra anene a Babuloni. Ikarai bũrũri-inĩ na mũtungatagĩre mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩmũgũikara wega.”
And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
25 No rĩrĩ, mweri-inĩ wa mũgwanja, Ishumaeli mũrũ wa Nethania, mũrũ wa Elishama ũrĩa warĩ wa thakame ya ũthamaki, agĩũka na andũ ikũmi, akĩũraga Gedalia o hamwe na andũ a Juda, na andũ a Babuloni arĩa maarĩ nake kũu Mizipa.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
26 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo andũ othe kuuma ũrĩa mũnini mũno nginya ũrĩa mũnene mũno, hamwe na atongoria a mbũtũ cia ita, makĩũrĩra Misiri nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra andũ a Babuloni.
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
27 Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mũgwanja kuuma rĩrĩa Jehoiakini mũthamaki wa Juda aatwarirwo bũrũri ũngĩ, mwaka-inĩ o ũrĩa Evili-Merodaki aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Babuloni, nĩ ohorithirie Jehoiakini kuuma njeera, mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja mweri-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
28 Akĩmwarĩria na ũhooreri na akĩmũhe gĩtĩ gĩa kũmũtĩĩithia gũkĩra athamaki acio angĩ maarĩ nao kũu Babuloni.
And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon;
29 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoiakini akĩruta nguo ciake cia njeera, na agĩtũũra arĩĩagĩra metha-inĩ ya mũthamaki matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo.
And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30 Mũthamaki ũcio nĩaheaga Jehoiakini indo cia kũmũteithia cia o mũthenya, matukũ mothe marĩa aatũũrire muoyo.
And his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
