2 Mpanjaka 24
1 Tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Joiakima no niakaran’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ary nanoa azy telo taona Joiakima, dia nivadika ka niodina taminy.
During the reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar, kind of Babylon, invaded the country and Jehoiakim submitted to him. But after three years Jehoiakim rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.
2 Ary Jehovah nampandeha ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana sy ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana sy ny miaramilan’ i Moaba ary ny miaramilan’ ny taranak’ i Amona hiady aminy: dia nampandehaniny hiady amin’ ny Joda ireo mba handrava azy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay nampilazainy ny mpaminany mpanompony.
Then the Lord sent bands of raiders against Judah to destroy them. They came from Babylonia, Aram, Moab, and Ammon, just as the Lord had said through his servants the prophets.
3 Dia araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ihany no nahatongavan’ izany tamin’ ny Joda, hanesorany azy tsy ho eo imasony noho ny fahotan’ i Manase tahaka izay rehetra nataony
The Lord spoke against Judah to banish them from his presence because of all the sins that Manasseh had committed, and the innocent people he had killed,
4 sy noho ny rà marina izay nalatsany koa; fa nofenoiny rà marina Jerosalema; koa izany no tsy netezan’ i Jehovah hamela ny helony.
filling Jerusalem with their blood. The Lord was not willing to forgive this.
5 Ary ny tantaran’ i Joiakima sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
The rest of what happened in Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
6 Ary Joiakima lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, ka Joiakina zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Jehoiakim died, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
7 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta tsy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny taniny intsony; fa lasan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona izay rehetra an’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta hatramin’ ny lohasahan-driak’ i Egypta ka hatramin’ ny ony Eofrata.
The king of Egypt didn't leave his country again for the king of Babylon had taken all the territory that used to belong to him, from the Wadi of Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River.
8 Valo ambin’ ny folo taona Joiakina, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary telo volana no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Nehosta, zanakavavin’ i Elnatana, avy any Jerosalema.
Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan. She came from Jerusalem.
9 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy tahaka izay rehetra nataon-drainy.
Jehoiachin did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father had done.
10 Tamin’ izany andro izany no niakaran’ ny mpanompon’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, hamely an’ i Jerosalema, ary nataony fahirano ny tanàna.
At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged it.
11 Dia tonga koa Nebokadnezera, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, hamely ny tanàna, raha mbola nanao fahirano azy ny mpanompony.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came himself while his officers were besieging the city.
12 Ary Joiakina, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nivoaka nankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia izy sy ny reniny ary ny mpanompony sy ny mpanapaka mbamin’ ny tandapany; ary nentin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona izy tamin’ ny taona fahavalo nanjakany.
Jehoiachin, king of Israel, surrendered to the king of Babylon, along with his mother, his officers, his commanders, and his officials. It was in the eighth year of his reign that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jehoiachin.
13 Ary navoakan’ i Nebokadnezara avy tao ny rakitra rehetra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, dia nendahany ny volamena rehetra izay nataon’ i Solomona, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tao amin’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah.
Nebuchadnezzar took all the treasures from the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he cut up all the gold items that Solomon, king of Israel, had made for the Lord's Temple, as the Lord had said would happen.
14 Ary nentiny ho babo ny tao Jerosalema rehetra sy ny mpanapaka rehetra sy ny lehilahy mahery rehetra, dia olona iray alina, mbamin’ ny mahay tao-zavatra rehetra sy ny mpanefy koa, ka tsy nisy sisa navelany afa-tsy izay tompon-tany faraidina.
He deported all of Jerusalem, all the commanders and experienced soldiers, all the craftsmen and metalworkers, a total of ten thousand prisoners. Only the very poor people of the land were left.
15 Ary nitondra an’ i Joiakina koa ho babo any Babylona izy; ary ny renin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny vadin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny tandapa sy ny lehilahy mahery amin’ ny tany dia nentiny ho babo avy tany Jerosalema ho any Babylona.
He took Jehoiachin away into exile to Babylon, as well as the king's mother and the king's wives and his officials and the leading men of the land, he deported them all from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 Ary ny lehilahy mahery rehetra, dia fito arivo, ary ny mahay tao-zavatra sy ny mpanefy arivo lahy, izay samy mahery sy mahay miady, dia nentin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ho babo tany Babylona avokoa.
The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon all seven thousand fighting men and one thousand craftsmen and metalworkers, who were all strong and ready for battle.
17 Ary Matania, rahalahin-drainy, no notendren’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ho mpanjaka hisolo an’ i Joiakina, ka novany hoe Zedekia no anarany.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king instead of him, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Iraika amby roa-polo taona Zedekia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Hamotala, zanakavavin’ i Jeremia, avy any Libna.
Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.
19 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Joiakima.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Fa ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah no nahatongavan’ izany tamin’ i Jerosalema sy ny Joda ambara-pandroakany azy tsy ho eo anatrehany. Ary Zedekia niodina tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona.
All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
