Elos orala nien aktuktuk lalos likin siti uh, ac musaela mwe fan raunela pot ah.
Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
2 Elos kuhlusya nwe ke yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah el tokosra.
And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
3 In len akeu ke malem akakosr ke yac sacna, ke sracl sac srakna upa ac wanginla mongo nun mwet uh,
on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.
4 mwet Babylonia elos fukulya pot uh. Elos nwe raunela siti sac, a mwet mweun nukewa in siti uh kaingla in fong sac. Elos ut yen ima lun tokosra oan we, ac sasla ke mutunpot se ma pot luo fahsreni we, na elos kaingla ut layen nu ke Infahlfal Jordan.
And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.
5 Tusruktu mwet mweun Babylonia elos ukwal Tokosra Zedekiah nwe sruokilya in acn tupasrpasr apkuran nu Jericho, ac mwet mweun lal ah nukewa sisella kaingelik.
And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
6 Utukla Tokosra Zedekiah nu yorol Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, su muta in siti Riblah, acn su Nebuchadnezzar el wotela ma ac orek nu sel.
Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
7 Elos uniya kewa wen natul Zedekiah ye mutal, ac tipalla atronmutal, na elos kaprilya ke sein, ac usalla nu Babylon.
Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.
8 In len akitkosr ke malem aklimekosr in yac aksingoul eu ke pacl Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el leum lun Babylonia, Nebuzaradan su mwet kasru lal tokosra ac oayapa el mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lal, el utyak nu Jerusalem.
In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
9 El esukak Tempul, inkul sin tokosra, ac lohm sin mwet fulat nukewa in Jerusalem,
And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
10 ac mwet lal elos rakinya pot in siti ah.
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
11 Na Nebuzaradan el usla nu Babylonia mwet ma lula in siti sac, elos su usrnguk ke orekma ac oayapa elos su sifacna kaingla nu yurin mwet Babylonia.
Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
12 Tusruktu el filiya kutu sin mwet ma arulana sukasrup, ac sang tuh mwet inge in orekma ke ima in grape, ac imaela acn Judah.
But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
13 Mwet Babylonia elos kunausya sru bronze lukwa nu ke ip srisrik, ac mwe wiwa ma oan in Tempul, weang pac tacng bronze lulap sac, ac elos usla bronze inge nukewa nu Babylon.
Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.
14 Elos oayapa usla saful ac mwe neinyuk apat, ma orekmakinyuk in aknasnasye loang uh, kufwa in akwoye lam ah, ac pol mwe nein srah ma sororla ke pacl in kisa, ac pol in isis mwe keng, ac ma nukewa saya ma orekla ke bronze su orekmakinyuk in Tempul.
Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
15 Elos usla nufon ma su orekla ke gold ku silver, weang pac pol srisrik ac pan ma sang us mulut firir.
And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
16 Ma orekla ke bronze nukewa ma Tokosra Solomon el sap in orekla nu ke Tempul — sru lukwa, mwe wiwa, ac tacng lulap sac — ma inge arulana toasrla in pauniyuk.
and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.
17 Sru lukwa ah oana sie lumah: kais soko oasr ke fit longoul itkosr fulata, wi sifen sru se ma orekla oan fac su oasr fit akosr tafu fulata, ac oasr pac yun sang rauneak sifen sru inge su orekla in luman sein pirakla, naweyuk ke fokinsak pomegranate, ac ma inge nukewa orekla ke bronze.
One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
18 Sayen ma inge, Nebuzaradan mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Babylonia, el usalla Mwet Tol Fulat Seraiah, ac Zephaniah su mwet tol akluo yal, ac mwet tolu pac saya su mwet kol in Tempul.
Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,
19 Ac sin mwet in siti uh el usla mwet se ma tuh kol un mwet mweun, ac limekosr sin mwet kasru lun tokosra su srakna muta in siti uh, ac mwet kasru se lun mwet kol fulat su liyaung ma simla lun mwet mweun, ac mwet fulat onngoul pac saya.
and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
20 Nebuzaradan el usalosla nu yurin tokosra lun Babylonia, su oasr in siti Riblah
Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 ke acn Hamath. Tokosra el sap in sringsring ac anwuki elos we. Ouinge met Judah elos utukla liki acn selos nu in srou.
And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.
22 Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylon el oru Gedaliah wen natul Ahikam ac nutin natul Shaphan, elan governor lun acn Judah, ac oru elan kol mwet nukewa ma tia utukla nu Babylonia.
But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
23 Ke mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lun Judah, ac mwet mweun lalos su tuh tiana srasrapo, elos lohng ke ma se inge, na elos som welulang Gedaliah in acn Mizpah. Mwet kol inge pa Ishmael wen natul Nethaniah, Johanan wen natul Kareah, Seraiah wen natul Tanhumeth sie mwet in siti srisrik Netophah, ac Jezaniah mwet Maacah.
And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.
24 Gedaliah el fahk nu selos, “Nga fulahk nu suwos, kowos tia enenu in sangeng sin mwet kol lun mwet Babylonia. Kowos oakwuki in facl se inge ac kulansupu tokosra lun Babylonia, na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos.”
And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
25 Tusruktu ke malem akitkosr in yac sac, Ishmael wen natul Nethaniah su wen natul Elishama, sie sin mwet in sou in leum uh, el us mwet singoul som nu Mizpah, onel Gedaliah nwe unilya. El oayapa uniya mwet Israel ac mwet Babylonia su welul muta in acn sac.
But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Na mwet Israel nukewa — mwet fulat ac mwet pusisel oana sie — weang pac mwet kol lun mwet mweun, elos fahsr liki acn we ac som nu Egypt, ke sripen sangeng lalos sin mwet Babylonia.
And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
27 Ke yac se ma Evilmerodach el tokosrala lun Babylonia, el kulang nu sel Tokosra Jehoiachin lun acn Judah ac ikasulla liki kapir. Ma se inge sikyak ke len aklongoul itkosr ke malem aksingoul luo ke yac aktolngoul itkosr tukun utukla Jehoiachin nu in sruoh.
Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.
28 Evilmerodach el kaskas kulang nu sel, ac akfulatyal liki tokosra nukewa su welul sruoh in acn Babylonia.
And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
29 Ouinge, filfilla nu sel Jehoiachin elan ku in ayaolla liki nuknuk in kapir lal ah, ac in welul tokosra mongo ke tepu lal ke lusenna moul lal.
And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
30 Kais sie len, itukyang nu sel lupan mwe kasru ma fal in kasrel ke enenu lal, nwe ke el misa.
Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
