1 Zedekiah el tuyak lainul Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylonia. Ke ma inge Nebuchadnezzar el tuku wi mwet mweun lal nukewa in mweuni acn Jerusalem ke len aksingoul ke malem aksingoul ke yac akeu ke pacl Zedekiah el leum. Elos orala nien aktuktuk lalos likin siti uh, ac musaela mwe fan raunela pot ah.
It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem. He camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
2 Elos kuhlusya nwe ke yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah el tokosra.
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
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 fourth month of that year, the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food 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.
Then the city was broken into, and all the fighting men fled at night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. The king went in the direction of the Arabah.
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.
But the army of Chaldeans pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
6 Utukla Tokosra Zedekiah nu yorol Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, su muta in siti Riblah, acn su Nebuchadnezzar el wotela ma ac orek nu sel.
They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they passed sentence on him.
7 Elos uniya kewa wen natul Zedekiah ye mutal, ac tipalla atronmutal, na elos kaprilya ke sein, ac usalla nu Babylon.
As for Zedekiah's sons, they slaughtered them before his eyes. Then he put out his eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought him 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.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, a servant of the king of Babylon and commander of his bodyguards, came to Jerusalem.
9 El esukak Tempul, inkul sin tokosra, ac lohm sin mwet fulat nukewa in Jerusalem,
He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
10 ac mwet lal elos rakinya pot in siti ah.
As for all the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were under the commander of the bodyguard destroyed them.
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.
As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the remainder of the population—Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them away into exile.
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 the commander of the bodyguard did leave some of the poorest of the land to work the vineyards and fields.
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.
As for the bronze pillars that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried the bronze back 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.
The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, spoons, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
15 Elos usla nufon ma su orekla ke gold ku silver, weang pac pol srisrik ac pan ma sang us mulut firir.
The pots for removing ashes and the bowls that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the captain of the king's guard took them away as well.
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.
The two pillars, the sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh contained more bronze than could be weighed.
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.
The height of the first pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was three cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around on the capital, all made of bronze. The other pillar and its latticework were the same as the first.
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.
The commander of the bodyguard took Seraiah the chief priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
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.
From the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and five men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
20 Nebuzaradan el usalosla nu yurin tokosra lun Babylonia, su oasr in siti Riblah
Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them and brought 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.
The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
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.
As for the people who remained in the land of Judah, those whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he put Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, in charge of them.
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.
Now when all the commanders of the soldiers, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah. These men were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maakathite—they and their men.
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.”
Gedaliah made an oath to them and to their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go 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 son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, came with ten men and attacked Gedaliah. Gedaliah died, along with the men of Judah and the Babylonians 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.
Then all the people, from the least to the greatest, and the commanders of the soldiers, arose and went to Egypt, because they were afraid of the Babylonians.
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.
It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Awel-Marduk king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
28 Evilmerodach el kaskas kulang nu sel, ac akfulatyal liki tokosra nukewa su welul sruoh in acn Babylonia.
He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that of the other kings who were with him in 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.
Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate regularly at the king's table for the rest of his life.
30 Kais sie len, itukyang nu sel lupan mwe kasru ma fal in kasrel ke enenu lal, nwe ke el misa.
A regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life.
