< II Na Lii 25 >
1 A I ka iwa o ka makahiki o kona alii ana, i ka umi o ka malama, i ka la umi o ka malama, hele mai o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, a me kona poe kaua a pau, i Ierusalema, a ku e ia wahi; a nana iho la i pa a puni ona.
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
2 A hoopilikiaia ke kulanakauhale, a hiki i ka makahiki umikumamakahi o Zedekia ke alii.
And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
3 I ka la eiwa o ka ha o ka malama, ua ikaika ka wi ma ke kulanakauhale, aohe ai na na kanaka o ka aina.
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
4 A ua hoopioia ke kulanakauhale. a holo aku la ua kanakakoa a pau i ka po, ma ke ala o ka ipuka mawaena o na papohaku elua, ma ke kihapai o ke alii; (a o ko Kaledea e noho ana a puni ke kulanakauhale: ) a hele aku la [ke alii] i ke ala o ka papu.
Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
5 A hahai aku la ka poe kaua o ko Kaledea mahope o ke alii, a loaa ia lakou ia ma na papu o Ieriko; a ua puehu liilii kona poe kaua mai ona aku la.
but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
6 Lalau aku la lakou i ke alii, a lawe aku ia ia i ko alii o Babulona ma Ribela, a hoohewa lakou ia ia.
The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
7 A pepehi aku la lakou i na keiki a Zedekia imua o kona maka, a poalo ae la i na maka o Zedekia, a hoopaa aku la lakou ia ia i na kupee elua, a lawe aku la lakou ia ia i Babulona.
And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
8 A i ka lima o ka malama, i ka hiku o ka la o ka malama, oia ka umikumamaiwa o na makahiki o ke alii, o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, hele mai i Ierusalema o Nebuzaraduna, ka luna o ka poe koa, ke kauwa a ke alii o Babulona.
On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
9 A puhi aku la i ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a me na halo a pau o Ierusalema, a puhi aku la hoi i ke ahi i kela hale keia hale o ka poe koikoi a pau.
He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
10 A o ka puali a pau o Kaledea me ka luna koa, hoohiolo lakou i na papohaku o Ierusalema a puni.
And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 A o ke koena o na kanaka i waihoia ma ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe i haule mamuli o ke alii o Babulona, a me ke koena o ka lehulehu, o lakou ka Nebuzaradana, ka luna koa, i lawe pio aku.
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
12 A o ka poe ilihune o ka aina, o lakou ka ka luna koa i waiho i poe malama i na pawaina, a i poe mahiai.
But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
13 A o na kia keleawe ma ka halo o Iehova, a o na kumu me ke kai keleawe ma ka hale o Iehova, oia ka ko Kaledea i wawahi iho, a lawe aku i ke keleawe o ia mau mea i Babulona.
Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
14 A o na ipuhao, a me na mea kopeahi, a me na upakolikukui, a me na puna, a me na ipu keleawe a pau, na mea a na kahuna i lawelawe ai, oia ka lakou i lawe aku la.
They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
15 A o na ipuahi, a me na bola, a o na mea gula i hanaia i ke gula, a me na mea kala i hanaia i ke kala, oia mau mea ka ka luna koa i lawe aku la.
The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
16 O na kia elua, hookahi ipunui, a me na kumu, na mea a Solomona i hana'i no ka hale o Iehova; o ke keleawe o ia mau mea, aole i kaupaonaia.
As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
17 He umikumamawalu kubita ke kiekie o kekahi kia, a o ke poo maluna ona he keleawe ia; a ekolu kubita ka loihi o ke poo; a o na mea i ulanaia, a me na pomegerane i hoopuniia maluna o ke poo, he keleawe wale no ia; a like me keia ka lua o na kia me ka mea i ulanaia.
Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
18 A lawe aku la ka luna koa ia Seraia ke kahuua nui, a ia Zepania, ke kahuna lua, a me na kiaipuka ekolu.
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
19 A lawe aku la ia mai ke kulanakauhale aku i kekahi luna, ka mea i hoonohoia maluna o na kanaka kaua, a i elima kanaka punahele o ke alii, ka poe i loaa ma ke kulanakauhale, a i ke kakauolelo o ka luna kaua, nana i alakai i ke kaua i na kanaka o ka aina, a me na kanaka o ka aina he kanaono i loaa ma ke kulanakauhale.
Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
20 A lawe aku la o Nebuzaradana ka luna koa ia lakou, a alakai aku la ia lakou i ke alii o Babulona ma Ribela.
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 Pepehi aku la ke alii o Babulona ia lakou, a make lakou ia ia ma Ribela i ka aina o Hamata, A ua laweia aku o ka Iuda mai ko lakou aina aku.
There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
22 A o na kanaka i koe ma ka aina o ka Iuda, ka poe a Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona i waiho ai, hoonoho aku la oia ia Gedalia, ke keiki a Ahikama, ke keiki a Sapana, maluna o lakou.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
23 A lohe na luna a pau o na kaua, o lakou, a me ko lakou poe kanaka, ua hoonoho ke alii o Babulona ia Gedalia i luna, hele mai io Gedalia la ma Mizepa, o Isemaela ke keiki a Netania, a o Iohanana ke keiki a Karea, a o Seraia ke keiki a Tanehumeta no Netopa, a o Iaazania ke keiki a ke kanaka no Maaka, o lakou, a me ko lakou poe kanaka.
When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
24 Hoohiki iho la oia ia lakou, a i ko lakou poe kanaka, a i aku la ia lakou, Mai makau oukou i ka hookauwa ana na ko Kaledea: e noho i ka aina, a e malama i ke alii o Babulona, a e pono auanei oukou.
And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
25 Aka, i ka hiku o ka malama, hele mai o Isemaela, ke keiki a Netania ke keiki a Elisama, no ka ohana alii, a he umi na kanaka me ia, a pepehi iho la ia Gedalia, a make iho la ia, a me na Iudaio, me ko Kaledea me ia ma Mizepa.
In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 A ku ae la na kanaka a pau, na mea uuku, a me na mea nui, a me na luna o na kaua, a hele aku la i Aigupita; no ka mea, ua makau lakou i ko Kaledea.
Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
27 A i ka makahiki kanakolukumamahiku o ka noho pio ana o Iehoiakina, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ka malama umikumatnalua, i ka la iwakalua kumamahiku o ka malama, o Evilemerodaka, ke alii o Babulona, i ka makahiki ana i lilo ai i alii, hookiekie ae la ia i ke poo o Iehoiakina, ke alii o ka Iuda, mai ka halepaahao mai.
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
28 A olelo oluolu aku ia ia, a haawi aku ia ia i noho alii maluna o ka noho alii o na'lii me ia ma Babulona.
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 A hoololi iho la i kona lole aahu o ka halepaahao; a ai mau iho la ia i ka ai imua ona i na la a pau o kona ola ana.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
30 A o kana wahi ai, oia wahi mau no i ka haawiia nana, he wahi no kela la, no keia la, i na la a pau o kona ola ana.
And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
