And the city enters into siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 Nʼụbọchị nke itoolu nke ọnwa anọ nʼafọ ahụ, oke ụnwụ siri ike dị nʼobodo ahụ ruo na ọ dịkwaghị nri dị nke ndị mmadụ ga-eri.
On the ninth of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, then there has not been bread for the people of the land.

And the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the city all around, and [the king] goes the way of the plain.
5 Ma ndị agha Kaldịa chụsoro eze nʼazụ, chụkwute ya na mbara ala Jeriko. Ndị agha ya niile sitere nʼebe ọ nọ gbasasịa, hapụ ya,
And the force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from him;

And they have slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and binds him with bronze chains, and they bring him to Babylon.
8 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nʼọnwa nke ise nke afọ iri na itoolu nke ọchịchị eze Nebukadneza na Babilọn, Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche, onyeisi nʼọrụ eze Babilọn, bịarutere Jerusalem.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it [is] the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, has come to Jerusalem,
9 O sunyere ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị ọkụ, ụlọeze na ụlọ niile dị na Jerusalem, ụlọ ọbụla bụ nke dị mkpa ka o surere ọkụ
and he burns the house of YHWH, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, indeed, he has burned every great house with fire;
10 Ndị agha Kaldịa niile bụ ndị nọ nʼokpuru onyeisi ndị nche eze kwaturu mgbidi niile gbara Jerusalem gburugburu.
and all the forces of the Chaldeans, who [are] with the chief of the executioners, have broken down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
11 Nebuzaradan, ọchịagha ndị nche eze, buuru ụfọdụ mmadụ ndị fọdụrụ nʼobodo, na ndị niile fọdụkwara, ha na ndị ọzọ ahụ ji aka ha gbakwuru eze bulaa ha Babilọn, ka ha ga biri nʼala ọzọ.
And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners has removed;
12 Ma ọchịagha ahụ, hapụrụ ụfọdụ na ndị ahụ bụ nnọọ ndị ogbenye ọnụ ntụ, ka ha na-elekọta ubi vaịnị niile a gbara ogige na ala ubi niile.
and of the poor of the land the chief of the executioners has left for vinedressers and for farmers.
13 Ma ndị Babilọn tipịara ogidi bronz niile, ha na ihe ndọkwasị niile na oke osimiri bronz ndị ahụ dị nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, buru bronz ndị ahụ bulaa Babilọn.
And the pillars of bronze that [are] in the house of YHWH, and the bases, and the sea of bronze, that [is] in the house of YHWH, the Chaldeans have broken in pieces, and carry away their bronze to Babylon.
14 Ha chịkọọrọ ite niile, na shọvel niile, na ihe ịkpakepụ ọkụ, na ngaji ukwu niile na ngwa bronz niile nke e ji eje ozi nʼime ụlọnsọ ahụ.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they minister, they have taken;
15 Ọchịagha ndị nche eze, chịrị ihe ịgụnye ọkụ niile, efere ịkwọsa mmiri niile, ya bụ ihe ndị ahụ niile e ji ọlaedo a nụchara anụcha maọbụ ọlaọcha kpụọ.
and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, the chief of the executioners has taken.
16 O bukwara bronz sitere nʼogidi abụọ ahụ, oke Osimiri ahụ na ihe ndọkwasị ya niile, nke eze bụ Solomọn mere nʼihi ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Ha karịrị ihe a ga-eji ihe ọtụtụ tụọ.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon made for the house of YHWH, there was no weighing of the bronze of all these vessels;
17 Ị dị elu nke otu nʼime ogidi abụọ ndị a bụ mita asatọ na ụma nʼọtụtụ. Isi bronz nke e kpukwasịrị nʼotu ogidi dị otu mita na ọkara nʼịdị elu. Ọ bụkwa ihe yiri mkpụrụ pomegranet e ji bronz kpaa, ka e ji chọọ ya mma gburugburu ya niile. Ogidi nke abụọ nwekwara pomegranet, yiri ibe ya.
eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the capital on it [is] of bronze, and the height of the capital [is] three cubits, and the net and the pomegranates [are] on the capital all around—the whole [is] of bronze; and the second pillar has like these, with the net.
18 Ọchịagha ndị nche eze ahụ, kpụụrụ Seraya, onyeisi nchụaja, na Zefanaya, bụ onye nchụaja na-esote ya nʼọkwa, na ndị nche atọ na-eche ọnụ ụzọ mbata.
And the chief of the executioners takes Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
19 O sitere nʼetiti ndị ahụ fọdụrụ nʼobodo kpụụrụ otu onyeisi na-ahụ maka ndị agha, na ndị ikom ise na-enye eze ndụmọdụ. O kpukwaara ode akwụkwọ, onye isi ọrụ na-ahụ maka ịmanye ndị ga-aga agha, jidekwa iri ndị ikom isii ndị ọrụ mmanye, ndị a hụrụ nʼime obodo ahụ.
and he has taken out of the city a certain eunuch who is appointed over the men of war, and five men of those seeing the king’s face who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host who musters the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city;
20 Nebuzaradan, bụ ọchịagha kpụụrụ ha niile dute ha nʼihu eze Babilọn na Ribla.
and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners takes them, and causes them to go to the king of Babylon, to Libnah,
21 Nʼebe ahụ, na Ribla dị nʼobodo Hamat, ka eze nọ nye iwu ka e gbuo ha niile. Ya mere, a dọọrọ Juda nʼagha, mee ka ọ ga biri nʼala ọzọ.
and the king of Babylon strikes them, and puts them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removes Judah from off its land.
22 Emesịa, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn họpụtara Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa nwa Shefan, ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta ndị fọdụrụ na Juda,
And the people that are left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has left—he appoints Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, over them.
23 Mgbe ndịisi agha na ndị ikom ha nụrụ na eze Babilọn emeela Gedaliya onye na-achị ala ahụ, ha bịakwutere Gedaliya na Mizpa. Ndị bịakwutere ya bụ, Ishmel nwa Netanaya, Johanan nwa Kariya, Seraya nwa Tanhumet, onye Netofa, na Jaazanaya nwa onye Maaka, na ndị ikom ha.
And all the heads of the forces hear—they and the men—that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah, and they come to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite—they and their men;
24 Gedaliya ṅụọrọ ha iyi, ṅụkwaara ndị ikom ha, sị, “Unu atụla egwu nʼihi ndịisi ọrụ Babilọn. Birinụ nʼala a, feekwa eze Babilọn, ihe ga-agara unu nke ọma.”
and Gedaliah swears to them and to their men, and says to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is good for you.”
25 Ma nʼọnwa nke asaa, Ishmel nwa Netanaya, nwa Elishama, onye ya onwe ya si nʼagbụrụ eze, duuru mmadụ iri bịa Mizpa, tigbuo Gedaliya, na ndị ikom Juda na ndị Kaldịa niile, bụ ndị ya na ha nọ.
And it comes to pass, in the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nathaniah has come, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him, and they strike Gedaliah, and he dies, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have been with him in Mizpah.
26 Nke a mere ka ndị Juda niile, site nʼonye nta ruo nʼonye ukwu, ha na ndịisi agha ndị ahụ biliri gaa Ijipt, nʼihi na ha tụrụ ndị Kaldịa egwu.
And all the people rise, from small even to great, and the heads of the forces, and come to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence of the Chaldeans.
27 Nʼafọ nke iri atọ na asaa, site na mgbe e mere ka Jehoiakin eze Juda gaa biri nʼala ọzọ, nʼafọ Awel-Maduk ghọrọ eze Babilọn, o mere ka Jehoiakin si nʼụlọ mkpọrọ pụta nwere onwe ya. Ọ bụ nʼụbọchị nke iri abụọ na asaa nke ọnwa iri na abụọ ka o mere nke a.
And it comes to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the expulsion of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, Evil-Merodach king of Babylon has lifted up, in the year of his reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
28 Ọ gwara ya okwu ọma, nye ya oche ọnọdụ ya dị elu karịa nke ndị eze ndị ọzọ ya na ha nọ na Babilọn.
and speaks good things with him and puts his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon,
29 Nʼihi nke a, Jehoiakin gbanwere uwe mkpọrọ ya, wezuga ya. Sitekwa nʼoge ahụ, tutu ruo mgbe ọ nwụrụ, ya na eze na-erikọ nri.
and has changed the garments of his restraint, and he has eaten bread continually before him all [the] days of his life,
30 Site nʼụbọchị ruo nʼụbọchị, eze Babilọn na-enye Jehoiakin oke ihe ruru ya kwa ụbọchị niile nke ọ dị ndụ.
and his allowance—a continual allowance—has been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all [the] days of his life.
