Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.
2 Haka birnin ta kasance a kewaye har shekara ta goma sha ɗaya ta mulkin Zedekiya.
And the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 A rana ta tara ta watan huɗu, lokacin da yunwa ta yi tsanani a birnin, babu kuma abinci domin mutane su ci.
Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
4 Sai aka huda katanga sa’an nan dukan sojoji suka tsere da dare a ƙofa tsakanin katanga biyu da suke kusa da lambun sarki, ko da yake Babiloniyawa sun kewaye birnin. Suka tsere suka nufi Araba.
So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5 Amma sojojin Babiloniyawa suka bi sarki, suka cin masa a filayen Yeriko. Dukan sojojinsa kuwa suka rabu da shi suka watse.
But the Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
6 Aka kama shi, aka kai shi gaban sarkin Babilon a Ribla, inda aka yanke masa hukunci.
And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.
7 Suka kashe’ya’yan Zedekiya a gabansa, sa’an nan aka ƙwaƙule idanunsa. Suka daure shi da sarƙar tagulla, suka kai shi Babilon.
And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.
8 A rana ta bakwai na watan biyar, wadda ta zama shekara ta goma sha tara ta mulkin Sarki Nebukadnezzar na Babilon, Nebuzaradan, babban hafsan matsaran sarki, kuma bafadan sarkin Babilon, ya zo Urushalima
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
9 Ya cinna wa haikalin Ubangiji wuta, da fadan sarki, da kuma dukan gidajen Urushalima. Ya kuma ƙone duk wani gini mai muhimmanci.
And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;
10 Dukan mayaƙan Babilon a ƙarƙashin umarnin babban hafsan matsaran sarki, suka rushe katangar Urushalima.
And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
11 Nebuzaradan babban hafsan matsaran, ya kwashi waɗanda suka rage a cikin birnin, tare da sauran jama’a, da waɗanda suka miƙa kansu ga sarkin Babilon, ya kai su bauta.
And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;
12 Amma hafsan ya bar waɗansu daga cikin mafiya talauci na ƙasar don su yi aiki a lambunan inabi da kuma gonaki.
But he let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.

And the brass pillars in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases, and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took the brass to Babylon.
14 Suka ɗauke tukwane, da manyan cokula, da acibalbal, da kwanoni, da dai dukan kayan da aka yi da tagulla don hidima a haikalin Ubangiji.
And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
15 Babban hafsan matsaran sarkin ya kwashe har da kwanoni na kwashe garwashin wuta da sauran kwanoni, dukansu kuwa ƙeran zinariya ko azurfa tsatsa ne.
And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.
16 Tagullar ginshiƙai biyun nan, da ta ƙaton kwanon da ake ce da shi Teku, da ta dukan amalanke masu riƙe ruwa waɗanda Sarki Solomon ya yi domin haikalin Ubangiji, sun fi gaba a auna su.
The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Tsawon kowane ginshiƙi, ƙafa ashirin da bakwai ne. Hulunan tagullan da suke ƙwalƙwalin kowane ginshiƙi kuma yana da tsawon ƙafa huɗu da rabi. Kuma aka yi masa ado da saƙa da’ya’yan itace kewaye da shi. Bayan ginshiƙin ma haka yake.
One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
18 Babban hafsan ya kwashi Serahiya babban firist, da Zefaniya na biye da shi a girma, da matsara ƙofofi uku.
And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
19 Daga cikin waɗanda suka rage a birnin, ya ɗauki hafsa mai kula da dakaru, da kuma mashawartan sarki guda biyar. Ya kuma tafi da magatakarda wanda yake babban jami’in soja mai ɗaukan dukan jama’an ƙasar, tare da mutanensa guda sittin waɗanda aka samu a birnin.
And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
20 Nebuzaradan, babban hafsan, ya kwashe su duka ya kawo su wurin sarkin Babilon a Ribla.
These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 A can Ribla, a ƙasar Hamat, sarkin Babilon ya sa aka kashe su. Haka Yahuda ta tafi bauta daga ƙasarta.
And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his land.
22 Nebukadnezzar sarkin Babilon ya zaɓi Gedaliya ɗan Ahikam, ɗan Shafan yă zama shugaban sauran mutanen da suka rage a Yahuda.
As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
23 Sa’ad da dukan hafsoshin soja tare da mutanensu suka ji cewa sarkin Babilon ya naɗa Gedaliya a matsayin gwamna, sai suka zo wurin Gedaliya a Mizfa. Mutanen da suka zo su ne, Ishmayel ɗan Netaniya, Yohanan ɗan Kareya, Serahiya ɗan Tanhumet mutumin Netofa, Ya’azaniya ɗan mutumin Ma’aka, tare da mutanensu.
Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of the Maacathite, came with all their men.
24 Gedaliya ya tabbatar musu da rantsuwa cewa, “Kada ku ji tsoron jama’ar Babiloniyawa, muddin kun zauna lafiya, kun kuma bauta wa sarkin Babilon, kome zai yi muku kyau.”
Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
25 Amma a wata na bakwai, sai Ishmayel, ɗan Netaniya, ɗan Elishama, wanda yake daga gidan sarauta, ya zo tare da mutane goma, suka kashe Gedaliya duk da mutanen Yahuda, da na Babilon da suke tare da shi na Mizfa.
But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Ganin haka sai dukan mutane, babba da ƙarami, tare da shugabannin sojoji, suka tashi suka gudu zuwa ƙasar Masar, gama suna tsoron mutanen Babilon.
Then all the people, small and great, and the captains of the forces, got up and went away to Egypt, for fear of the Chaldaeans.
27 A shekara ta talatin da bakwai ta bautar Yehohiyacin sarkin Yahuda, a shekaran da Ewil-Merodak ya ci sarautan Babilon, sai ya saki Yehohiyacin daga jaru, ya sake shi a rana ashirin da bakwai ga watan goma sha biyu.
And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison;
28 Ya yi wa Yehohiyacin maganar alheri, ya kuma ɗaukaka shi sama da sauran sarakunan da suke tare da shi a Babilon.
And said kind words to him, and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 Don haka Yehohiyacin ya tuɓe kayan fursuna. Kowace rana kuwa yakan ci abinci a teburin sarki har iyakar ransa.
And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.
30 Sarki kuma ya yanka masa kuɗin da za a dinga ba shi, kowace rana muddin ransa.
And for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day for the rest of his life.
