2 Ndị Eze 25
1 Nʼafọ nke itoolu nke ọchịchị ya, nʼọnwa nke iri, nʼụbọchị nke iri, Nebukadneza, eze Babilọn duuru ndị agha ya niile bịa ibuso Jerusalem agha. Ọ mara ụlọ ikwu nʼazụ obodo ahụ, wukwaa mgbidi nnọchibido gburugburu obodo ahụ.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 Anọchibidoro obodo a nʼagha ruo nʼafọ nke iri na otu nke ọchịchị eze Zedekaya.
So the city was besieged unto 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 day of the [fourth] month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Mgbe ahụ, e tipuru oghere nʼaja mgbidi obodo ahụ, ndị agha niile ji abalị gbapụ site nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke dị nʼetiti mgbidi abụọ nʼakụkụ ubi eze a gbara ogige, nʼagbanyeghị na ndị Kaldịa nọ obodo ahụ gburugburu. Ha gbapụrụ chee ihu nʼụzọ Araba.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about: ) and [the king] went by the way of the Arabah.
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,
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was scattered from him.
6 e jide ya. Ha kpụgara ya eze Babilọn, nʼobodo Ribla, ebe a nọ maa ya ikpe.
Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
7 Ha gburu ụmụ ndị ikom Zedekaya nʼihu ya. Ha ghụpụrụ anya ya abụọ, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, kpọrọ ya gaa Babilọn.
And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried 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.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto 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 burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burnt he with fire.
10 Ndị agha Kaldịa niile bụ ndị nọ nʼokpuru onyeisi ndị nche eze kwaturu mgbidi niile gbara Jerusalem gburugburu.
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were [with] the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
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 residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.
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.
But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
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 brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brasen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them 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 brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
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 firepans, and the basons; that which was of gold, in gold; and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
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, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a chapiter of brass was upon it: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits; with network and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with network.
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 captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
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 out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king’s face, which were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the host, which mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.
20 Nebuzaradan, bụ ọchịagha kpụụrụ ha niile dute ha nʼihu eze Babilọn na Ribla.
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
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 smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Emesịa, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn họpụtara Gedaliya nwa Ahikam, nwa nwa Shefan, ka ọ bụrụ onye na-elekọta ndị fọdụrụ na Juda,
And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.
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.
Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even 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, 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 sware to them and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with 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.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at 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, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid 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 came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
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 he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were 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 he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually 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 for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
