II Na Lii 24
1 I KONA manawa, pii mai la o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, a lilo o Iehoiakima i kauwa nana i na makahiki ekolu; alaila huli ae la ia a kipi aku ia ia.
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 A hoouna aku la o Iehova e ku e ia ia i ka poe hao wale no Kaledea, a i ka poe hao wale no Suria, a i ka poe hao wale no Moaba, a i ka poe hao wale no na mamo a Amona, a hoouna aku ia lakou e ku e i ka Iuda e luku aku ia ia, e like me ka olelo a Iehova ana i olelo ai ma kana poe kauwa ma na kaula.
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 He oiaio ma ke kauoha a Iehova i hiki mai ai keia maluna o ka Iuda, e lawe ae ia lakou mai kona alo aku no ka hewa o Manase, e like me na mea a pau ana i hana'i;
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 A no ke koko hala ole ana i hookahe ai, a ua hoopiha oia i Ierusalema i ke koko hala ole, i ka mea a Iehova i kala ole mai ai.
Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
5 A o na hana i koe a Iehoiakima, a o na mea a pau ana i hana'i, aole anei i kakauia lakou iloko o ka buke oihanaalii a na'lii o ka Iuda?
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 A hiamoe iho la o Iehoiakima me kona poe kupuna: a noho alii iho la o Iehoiakina kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
7 Aole i hele hou mai ke alii o Aigupita mai kona aina mai: no ka mea, ua lawe ke alii o Babulona i na mea a pau a ke alii o Aigupita, mai ka muliwai o Aigupita a hiki i ka muliwai o Euperate.
[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 He umikumamawalu na makahiki o Iehoiakina i kona wa i lilo ai i alii; a ekolu malama o kona alii ana ma Ierusalema. A o Nehuseta ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Elenatana no Ierusalema.
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 A hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a kona makuakane i hana'i.
Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
10 Ia manawa, pii mai la na kauwa a Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, e ku e i Ierusalema, a lilo ke kulanakauhale i ka hoopilikiaia.
[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 A o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, hele ku e mai la ia i ke kulanakauhale, a hoopilikia aku la kana poe kauwa ia wahi.
While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
12 A hele aku la Iehoiakina ke alii o ka Iuda i ke alii o Babulona, oia, a me kona makuwahine, a me kana poe kauwa, a me kona poe alii, a me kona poe luna hale, a lawe ke alii o Babulona ia ia i ka walu o ka makahiki o kona alii ana.
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 A lawe ae la ia mailaila aku i ka waiwai a pau o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka waiwai o ka hale o ke alii, a oki liilii iho la na kiaha gula a pau a Solomona ke alii o ka Iseraela i hana'i ma ka luakini o Iehova, e like me ka Iehova i olelo mai ai.
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 A lawe pio aku la ia i ko Ierusalema a pau, a me na'lii, a me ka poe koa ikaika a pau, he umi tausani ka poe pio, a me ka poe paahana a pau, a me na amara: aohe mea i koe, o na kanaka ilihune o ka aina wale no.
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 A lawe pio aku la oia ia Iehoiakina i Babulona, a me ka makuwahine o ke alii a me na wahine a ke alii, a me na luna hale, a me ka poe alii o ka aina, o lakou kana i lawe pio ae ai mai Ierusalema a ku i Babulona.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
16 A o na kanaka koa a pau, ehiku tausaui, a o ka poe paahana a me ka poe amara, hookahi tausani, o ka poe a pau ikaika i ke kaua a pau, o lakou ka ke alii o Babulona i lawe pio aku ai i Babulona.
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 A o ke alii o Babulona, hooalii aku la, oia ia Matania, ke kaikaina o kona makuakane, ma kona hakahaka, a kapa aku la i kona inoa o Zedekia.
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 He iwakaluakumamakahi na makahiki o Zedekia i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he umikumamakahi na makahiki o kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema. A o Hamutala ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Ieremia no Libena.
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 Hana ino aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Iehoiakima i hana'i.
But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 A no ka inaina mai o Iehova, ua hanaia keia ma Ierusalema, a ma Iuda, a ka wa i hookuke aku ai oia ia lakou mai kona alo aku, i kipi aku ai o Zedekia i ke alii o Babulona.
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.
