< 2 Athamaki 25 >

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, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem; and he encamped against it, and built a mound against it.
2 Narĩo itũũra rĩkĩrigiicĩrio nginya mwaka wa ikũmi na ũmwe wa Mũthamaki Zedekia.
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedekias on the ninth day of the month.
3 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa kenda wa mweri wa kana, ngʼaragu ĩkĩneneha itũũra-inĩ, o nginya gũkĩaga irio cia kũrĩĩo nĩ andũ.
And 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 went forth by night, by the way of the gate between the walls, this is [the gate] of the king's garden: and the Chaldeans [were set] against the city round about: and [the king] went by the way of 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 force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was dispersed from about him.
6 Nayo mbũtũ ya ita ĩkĩnyiita mũthamaki ũcio, na agĩtwarwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni kũu Ribila kũrĩa aatuĩrĩirwo ciira.
And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha; and he 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 he killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters, and brought 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 (this [is] the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon), came Nabuzardan, captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, to 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, even every house did the captain of the guard burn.
10 Nayo mbũtũ yothe ya ita ya Babuloni, ĩtongoretio nĩ mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki ĩkĩmomora thingo iria ciathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu.
And the force of the Chaldeans pulled down the wall 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.
And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard removed the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the men who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
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 vine-dressers 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 Chaldeans broke to pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and carried their brass 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 caldrons, and the shovels, and the bowls, and the censers, and all the brazen vessels with which they minister, he took.
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 captain of the guard took the fire-pans, and the gold and silver bowls.
16 Nakĩo gĩcango kuuma itugĩ iria igĩrĩ, na gĩa Karia, na kĩa makaari marĩa Solomoni aakĩte marĩ ma hekarũ ya Jehova, gĩtingĩathimĩkire nĩ kũingĩha.
Two pillars, and one sea, and the bases which Solomon made for the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all the vessels.
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 one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was of brass: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits: the border, and the pomegranates on the chapiter round about were all of brass: and so it was with the second pillar with its border.
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 Saraias the high-priest, and Sophonias the second in order, and the three doorkeepers.
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 they took out of the city one eunuch who was commander of the men of war, and five men that saw the face of the king, that were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander-in-chief, who took account of the people of the land, and sixty 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 Nabuzardan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
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 struck them and killed them at Reblatha in the land of Aemath. So Juda was carried away from his 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 were left in the land of Juda, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon left, even over them he set Godolias son of Achicam son of Saphan.
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 all the captains of the host, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had [thus] appointed Godolias, and they came to Godolias to Massephath, both Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Jona son of Careth, and Saraias, son of Thanamath the Netophathite, and Jezonias son of a Machathite, 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 Godolias swore to them and their men, and said to them, Fear not the incursion of the Chaldeans; 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.
And it came to pass in the seventh month [that] Ismael son of Nathanias son of Helisama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and he struck Godolias, that he died, [him] and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him in Massepha.
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, great and small rose up, [they] and the captains of the forces, and went into Egypt; because they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
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 thirty-seventh year of the carrying away of Joachim king of Juda, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, [that] Evialmarodec king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Joachim king of Juda, and brought him out of his prison-house.
28 Akĩmwarĩria na ũhooreri na akĩmũhe gĩtĩ gĩa kũmũtĩĩithia gũkĩra athamaki acio angĩ maarĩ nao kũu Babuloni.
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the thrones 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 ate 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 portion, a continual portion, was given him out of the house of the king, a daily rate for every day all the days of his life.
