While Jehoiakim was ruling [Judah, the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Judah. [They defeated the Judean army, and as a result, ] Jehoiakim was required to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to King Nebuchadnezzar. But after three years, Jehoiakim rebelled.
2 Ubangiji ya aiki maharan Babiloniyawa, da na Arameyawa, da na Mowabawa, da na Ammonawa. Ya aike su su hallaka Yahuda bisa ga maganar Ubangiji wadda ya furta ta bakin bayinsa annabawa.
Then Yahweh sent raiders from Babylonia and Syria, and from the Moab and Ammon people-groups, to attack the people of Judah and get rid of them, just as Yahweh had told his prophets to warn the people would happen.
3 Ba shakka waɗannan abubuwa sun faru da Yahuda bisa ga umarnin Ubangiji domin yă kawar da su daga gabansa saboda zunuban Manasse da dukan abin da ya yi,
These things happened to the people of Judah according to what Yahweh commanded. [He had decided] to get rid of the people of Judah because of the many sins that King Manasseh [had committed].
4 haɗe da zub da jinin marasa laifi. Gama ya ƙazantar da Urushalima da jinin marasa laifi. Ubangiji kuwa bai yi niyyar yafewa ba.
Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
5 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yehohiyakim da abubuwan da ya aikata, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king, and all the things that he did, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
6 Yehohiyakim ya huta da kakanninsa. Yehohiyacin ɗansa ya gāje shi.
When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
7 Sarkin Masar bai sāke fita daga ƙasarsa don yaƙi ba domin sarkin Babilon ya mamaye yankin, daga Rafin Masar har zuwa Kogin Yuferites.
[The army of] the king of Babylon [defeated the army of Egypt, and] took control of all the area that the Egyptians formerly controlled, from the brook [at the border] of Egypt [in the south] to the Euphrates River [in the north]. So [the army of] the king of Egypt did not return [to attack Judah] again.
8 Yehohiyacin yana da shekara goma sha takwas da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki wata uku a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Nehushta’yar Elnatan, mutuniyar Urushalima.
Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king of Judah. His mother’s name was Nehushta; she was the daughter of a man from Jerusalem named Elnathan. Jehoiachin ruled in Jerusalem for [only] three months.
9 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji yadda mahaifinsa ya yi.
Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
10 A wannan lokaci, hafsoshin Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon suka kawo wa Urushalima yaƙi, suka kuma kewaye ta.
[While Jehoiachin was king, ] some officers of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came [along with the whole Babylonian army] to Jerusalem, and they surrounded the city.
11 Nebukadnezzar na Babilon da kansa kuwa ya zo birnin yayinda hafsoshinsa suka kewaye ta.
While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
12 Yehohiyacin sarkin Yahuda, da mahaifiyarsa, da masu yi masa hidima, da hakimansa, da kuma fadawansa duk suka miƙa kansu ga Nebukadnezzar. A shekara ta takwas ta mulkin sarkin Babilon, sarkin Babilon ya mai da Yehohiyacin ɗan kurkuku.
Then King Jehoiachin and his mother and his advisors and important officers and palace officials all surrendered to the Babylonian army. These thngs happened when Nebuchadnezzar had been king for eight years. He arrested Jehoiachin and took him to Babylon.
13 Yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa, Nebukadnezzar ya kwashe dukan dukiyar haikalin Ubangiji, da ta fadan sarki, ya kuma kwashe dukan kayan zinariyar da Solomon sarkin Isra’ila ya ƙera domin haikalin Ubangiji.
Just as Yahweh had said would happen, Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took [to Babylon] all the valuable things from Yahweh’s temple and from the king’s palace. They cut apart all the gold items that King Solomon had put in the temple.
14 Ya kwashi dukan mutanen Urushalima zuwa bauta, ya kwashi dukan fadawa, da mayaƙa, da masu sana’a, da maƙera, yawansu ya kai dubu goma. Ba wanda ya ragu, sai matalautan ƙasar.
They took from Jerusalem [to Babylon] 10,000 people, including the important officials and the best soldiers and the people who made and repaired things that were made of metal. Only the very poor people were left in Judah.
15 Nebukadnezzar ya ɗauki Yehohiyacin ya kai bauta a Babilon. Ya kuma kwashe mahaifiyar sarki, da matansa, da fadawansa, da manyan mutanen ƙasar daga Urushalima ya kai Babilon.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
16 Sarkin Babilon kuma ya kwashe dukan mayaƙa dubu bakwai, ƙarfafu, shiryayyu don yaƙi, da masu sana’a, da maƙera dubu ɗaya, ya kai Babilon.
They also took to Babylon 7,000 of the best soldiers and 1,000 men who knew how to make and repair things that are made from metal. All of these people whom they took were strong and able to fight in wars.
17 Sarkin Babilon ya sa Mattaniya, ɗan’uwan mahaifin Yehohiyacin, ya zama sarki a madadinsa, ya canja masa suna zuwa Zedekiya.
Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekiya yana da shekara ashirin da ɗaya da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki shekara goma sha ɗaya a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Hamutal’yar Irmiya; mutuniyar Libna.
When Zedekiah was twenty-one years old, he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of a man named Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
19 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji yadda Yehohiyakim ya yi.
But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Saboda fushin Ubangiji ne dukan waɗannan abubuwa suka faru da Urushalima, da kuma Yahuda, a ƙarshe kuma ya kawar da su daga fuskarsa. To, sai Zedekiya ya yi wa sarkin Babilon tawaye.
Yahweh was very angry. So (and finally/after he had been patient a long time) he expelled the people of Jerusalem and [the other places in] Judah and sent them to Babylon. [That is what happened when] Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
