2 Ndị Eze 24
1 Nʼoge Jehoiakim na-achị, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn ji ike bata nʼala ya, mee ka Jehoiakim ghọọ ohu ya afọ atọ. Ma o mesịrị tụgharịa megide Nebukadneza, nupukwa isi nʼokpuru ya.
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come up, and Jehoiakim is a servant to him [for] three years; and he turns and rebels against him,
2 Onyenwe anyị zigara ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe site na Kaldịa, Aram, Moab na ndị Amọn, ka ha ga bibie Juda. Ọ bụ nʼusoro okwu Onyenwe anyị kpọsara site nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya.
and YHWH sends against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sends them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of His servants the prophets;
3 Nʼezie, ihe ndị a bịakwasịrị Juda dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ya nʼiwu, ka o si otu a kpochapụ ha site nʼihu ya nʼihi mmehie niile Manase mere, na dịka ihe niile o mere si dị,
only, by the command of YHWH it has been against Judah to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 tinyere ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha nke ọ wusiri. Nʼihi na o mere ka ọbara ndị aka ha dị ọcha jupụta na Jerusalem. Onyenwe anyị ekwekwaghị agbaghara ajọ omume dị otu a.
and also the innocent blood that he has shed, and he fills Jerusalem with innocent blood, and YHWH was not willing to forgive.
5 Akụkọ ọzọ niile gbasara ọchịchị Jehoiakim na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe e mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ndị eze Juda?
And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
6 Jehoiakim sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ. Jehoiakin nwa ya ghọrọ eze ọhụrụ nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Jehoiakim lies with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigns in his stead.
7 Ma eze Ijipt esiteghị nʼala ya pụta ọzọ, nʼihi na eze Babilọn nọchiri oke ala ya niile, site na mmiri iyi Ijipt ruo nʼoke Osimiri Yufretis.
And the king of Egypt has not added anymore to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon has taken, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River, all that had been to the king of Egypt.
8 Jehoiakin gbara afọ iri na asatọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị naanị ọnwa atọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Nehushta, nwa Elnatan, onye Jerusalem.
Jehoiachin [is] a son of eighteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
9 O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, dịka nna ya ha mere.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
10 Nʼoge ọ bụ eze, ndịisi Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn bịara, gbaa Jerusalem gburugburu ma nọchibido obodo ahụ nʼagha.
At that time servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon have come up to Jerusalem, and the city goes into siege,
11 Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn nʼonwe ya, bịara nʼobodo ahụ mgbe ndị agha ya gbara ya gburugburu.
and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes against the city, and his servants are laying siege to it,
12 Jehoiakin, bụ eze Juda, na nne ya na ndị ọrụ ya niile na ndịisi niile na ndịisi ozi ya niile were onwe ha nyefee Nebukadneza nʼaka. Nʼafọ asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Babilọn ka ọ kpụụrụ Jehoiakin dịka onye mkpọrọ.
and Jehoiachin king of Judah goes out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon takes him in the eighth year of his reign,
13 Ọ kwakọọrọ akụ niile dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, na ndị nke dị nʼụlọeze, o gbukakwara ihe ọlaedo niile Solomọn eze Izrel tinyere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị buru ha bulaa Babilọn, ihe a niile mere dịka Onyenwe anyị kwururịị.
and brings out from there all the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cuts in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of YHWH, as YHWH had spoken.
14 O bupụkwara puku ndị ikom iri site na Jerusalem bulaa ha Babilọn dịka ndị a dọtara nʼagha. Ndị so nʼime ndị a bụ ndịisi niile na ndị agha niile. O bupụkwara ndị na-akwa ǹka niile na ndị ọkpụ ụzụ. Naanị ndị na-enweghị ike, na ndị ogbenye ka ọ hapụrụ nʼala ahụ.
And he has removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty men of valor—ten thousand [is] the expulsion—and every craftsman and smith; none has been left except the poor of the people of the land.
15 Nebukadneza kpụụrụ Jehoiakin ka ọ ga biri na Babilọn. O sikwa na Jerusalem kpọrọ nne eze, na ndị nwunye eze, ndị ozi ya, na ndị niile a ma ama nʼala ahụ gaa Babilọn.
And he removes Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land—he has caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 Eze Babilọn bupụkwara ndị ikom niile dị ike ma tozukwaa ibu agha, ndị ọnụọgụgụ ha dị puku asaa, tinyere otu puku ndị ọrụ aka, na ndị ọrụ ǹka, bulaa ha Babilọn.
and all the men of valor, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths, one thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon brings them in a captivity to Babylon.
17 O mere nwanne nna Jehoiakin, bụ Matanaya, eze nʼọnọdụ ya. Ọ gụgharịrị ya aha, kpọọ ya Zedekaya.
And the king of Babylon causes his father’s brother Mattaniah to reign in his stead, and turns his name to Zedekiah.
18 Iri afọ abụọ na otu ka Zedekaya gbara mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze nʼime Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Hamutal, nwa Jeremaya onye Libna. Ọ chịrị dịka eze na Jerusalem afọ iri na otu.
Zedekiah [is] a son of twenty-one years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
19 Ma o mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka Jehoiakim mere.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH according to all that Jehoiakim did,
20 Ọ bụ nʼihi iwe Onyenwe anyị ka ihe ndị a niile ji bịakwasị Jerusalem na Juda. Nʼikpeazụ, o sitere nʼihu ya chụpụ ha. Nʼoge a, Zedekaya nupuru isi nʼokpuru eze Babilọn.
for by the anger of YHWH it has been against Jerusalem and against Judah, until He [finally] cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebels against the king of Babylon.
