2 Bakonzi 25
1 Tango Sedesiasi akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza mpe ya zomi, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso, ayaki kobundisa Yelusalemi. Batongaki molako na bango libanda ya engumba, mpe atongaki mabulu mpo na kobombama, na zingazinga na yango nyonso.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem; and he encamped against it, and built a mound against it.
2 Engumba yango ezingelamaki kino na mobu ya zomi na moko ya bokonzi ya Sedesiasi.
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedekias on the ninth day of the month.
3 Na mokolo ya libwa ya sanza ya minei, wana nzala makasi ekotaki kati na engumba mpe bato bazalaki lisusu na eloko ya kolia te,
And the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 bongo lokola lidusu moko efungwamaki kati na mir ya engumba, basoda nyonso ya Yuda bakimaki butu-butu mpe babimelaki na ekuke oyo ezalaki na kati-kati ya bamir mibale, pene ya elanga ya mokonzi, atako bato ya Babiloni bazingelaki engumba. Bakimaki na nzela ya lubwaku ya Yordani.
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went forth by night, by the way of the gate between the walls, this is [the gate] of the king's garden: and the Chaldeans [were set] against the city round about: and [the king] went by the way of the plain.
5 Kasi basoda ya Babiloni balandaki mokonzi mpe bakangaki ye kati na etando ya Jeriko epai wapi basoda na ye nyonso bakimaki ye mpe bapanzanaki.
And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was dispersed from about him.
6 Basoda ya Babiloni bakangaki mokonzi ya Yuda mpe bamemaki ye epai ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, na Ribila epai wapi bakatelaki ye etumbu.
And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha; and he gave judgment upon him.
7 Bakataki mito ya bana mibali ya Sedesiasi na miso na ye; mpe Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atobolaki miso ya Sedesiasi, apesaki mitindo ete bakanga ye minyololo ya bronze mpe bamema ye na Babiloni.
And he killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
8 Tango Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, akokisaki mibu zomi na libwa na bokonzi, Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli mpe mosali ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, ayaki na Yelusalemi na mokolo ya sambo ya sanza ya mitano.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (this [is] the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon), came Nabuzardan, captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
9 Atumbaki Tempelo ya Yawe, ndako ya mokonzi mpe bandako nyonso ya Yelusalemi; atumbaki bandako nyonso ya bato minene.
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every house did the captain of the guard burn.
10 Mampinga nyonso ya Babiloni, oyo ezalaki na se ya bokonzi ya mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi babukaki bamir oyo ezingelaki Yelusalemi.
And the force of the Chaldeans pulled down the wall of Jerusalem round about.
11 Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, amemaki na bowumbu bato oyo batikalaki kati na engumba, bato oyo bamipesaki epai ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bato mosusu oyo batikalaki.
And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard removed the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the men who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
12 Kasi mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi atikaki kati na mokili ndambo ya babola mpo na kolona vino mpe bilanga.
But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
13 Bato ya Babiloni babukaki makonzi ya bronze oyo ezalaki liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe, bashario ya bronze mpe nzungu ya monene ya bronze oyo ezalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, mpe bamemaki bronze na yango na Babiloni.
And the Chaldeans broke to pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and carried their brass to Babylon.
14 Bakamataki lisusu biloko nyonso ya bronze oyo bazalaki kosala na yango losambo kati na Tempelo, basani ya putulu, bapawu, bambeli, bakopo.
And the caldrons, and the shovels, and the bowls, and the censers, and all the brazen vessels with which they minister, he took.
15 Mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi akamataki lisusu biloko nyonso ya wolo mpe ya palata: bambabola mpe basani ya kobwakela mayi.
And the captain of the guard took the fire-pans, and the gold and silver bowls.
16 Bakokaki te komeka kilo ya bronze ya biloko nyonso oyo Salomo asalaki mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe: makonzi nyonso mibale, nzungu ya monene mpe bashario.
Two pillars, and one sea, and the bases which Solomon made for the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all the vessels.
17 Likonzi moko na moko ezalaki na bametele pene libwa na bosanda. Moto ya likonzi, oyo ezalaki na songe, ezalaki ya bronze mpe na metele pene moko na ndambo na molayi; mpe bazingelaki yango na bililingi ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama mpe bambuma ya grenade. Makonzi nyonso mibale mpe bililingi ya basinga oyo basala lokola monyama ezalaki ndenge moko.
The height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was of brass: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits: the border, and the pomegranates on the chapiter round about were all of brass: and so it was with the second pillar with its border.
18 Mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi atiaki na boloko Seraya, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe; Sofoni, molandi ya mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe; mpe Banganga-Nzambe misato oyo bazalaki na mokumba ya kokengela ekotelo ya Tempelo.
And the captain of the guard took Saraias the high-priest, and Sophonias the second in order, and the three doorkeepers.
19 Kati na bato oyo batikalaki kati na engumba, akangaki lisusu moko kati na bakalaka ya lokumu, oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kotala makambo ya basoda ya bitumba, bapesi toli mitano, mokomi mikanda ya mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo azalaki na mokumba ya kokoma bakombo ya bato ya mboka mpo na kokota na mosala ya mampinga; mpe mibali tuku motoba ya Yuda, oyo bakutaki kati na engumba.
And they took out of the city one eunuch who was commander of the men of war, and five men that saw the face of the king, that were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander-in-chief, who took account of the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city.
20 Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, akamataki bango nyonso mpe amemaki bango epai ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, na Ribila.
And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 Mokonzi ya Babiloni abomaki bango kuna na Ribila, kati na mokili ya Amati. Boye, bato ya Yuda bakendeki na bowumbu mosika ya mokili na bango.
And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Reblatha in the land of Aemath. So Juda was carried away from his land.
22 Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atiaki Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami mpe koko ya Shafani, lokola moyangeli ya bato oyo atikaki kati na mokili ya Yuda.
And [as for] the people that were left in the land of Juda, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon left, even over them he set Godolias son of Achicam son of Saphan.
23 Tango bakonzi nyonso ya mampinga elongo na basoda na bango bayokaki ete mokonzi ya Babiloni akomisi Gedalia moyangeli, bakendeki na Mitsipa epai ya Gedalia. Tala bakombo ya bato yango: Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania; Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea; Seraya, mwana mobali ya Tanumeti, moto ya Netofa; mpe Yazania, mwana mobali ya moto moko ya Maakati. Bakendeki kuna elongo na basoda na bango.
And all the captains of the host, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had [thus] appointed Godolias, and they came to Godolias to Massephath, both Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Jona son of Careth, and Saraias, son of Thanamath the Netophathite, and Jezonias son of a Machathite, they and their men.
24 Gedalia alapaki ndayi liboso na bango mpe basoda na bango na maloba oyo: « Bobanga te kosalela bato ya Babiloni, bovanda kati na mokili, bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bokozala na bino malamu. »
And Godolias swore to them and their men, and said to them, Fear not the incursion of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Kasi na sanza ya misato, Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Netania mpe koko ya Elishama, oyo azalaki na molongo ya libota ya bokonzi, ayaki elongo na basoda zomi; babomaki Gedalia elongo na bato ya Yuda mpe bato ya Babiloni oyo bazalaki elongo na ye, na Mitsipa.
And it came to pass in the seventh month [that] Ismael son of Nathanias son of Helisama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and he struck Godolias, that he died, [him] and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him in Massepha.
26 Boye bato nyonso, kobanda na bato ya se kino bato ya lokumu, elongo na bakonzi ya basoda, bakimaki na Ejipito, pamba te bazalaki kobanga bato ya Babiloni.
And all the people, great and small rose up, [they] and the captains of the forces, and went into Egypt; because they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 Tango Yeoyakini, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu tuku misato na sambo na bowumbu, Evili-Merodaki, mokonzi ya Babiloni, ayokelaki Yeoyakini, mokonzi ya Yuda, mawa mpe abimisaki ye na boloko, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na sambo ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, kaka na mobu oyo akomaki mokonzi.
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the carrying away of Joachim king of Juda, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, [that] Evialmarodec king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Joachim king of Juda, and brought him out of his prison-house.
28 Evili-Merodaki asololaki na Yeoyakini na boboto mpe apesaki ye lokumu koleka bakonzi mosusu oyo bazalaki elongo na ye, na bowumbu kati na Babiloni;
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29 apesaki mitindo ete balongola ye bilamba ya boloko mpe andimaki ete abanda kolia mesa moko elongo na ye, mokolo na mokolo kino na suka ya bomoi na ye.
And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30 Mokonzi ya Babiloni azalaki kopesa ye nyonso oyo asengeli na yango mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ye.
And his portion, a continual portion, was given him out of the house of the king, a daily rate for every day all the days of his life.
