2 Mpanjaka 25
1 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafolo tamin’ ny volana fahafolo tamin’ ny taona fahasivy nanjakan’ i Zedekia dia tonga Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, sy ny miaramilany rehetra hamely an’ i Jerosalema indray ka nitoby tandrifiny; ary nanao tilikambo manodidina azy izy.
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 Ary nataony fahirano ny tanàna hatramin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Zedekia mpanjaka.
And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
3 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahasivy tamin’ ny volana fahefatra dia mafy ny mosary tao an-tanàna, fa tsy nisy hanina ho an’ ny olona tompon-tany.
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 Ary nisy voabanga ny tanana, dia nandositra alina ny miaramila rehetra tamin’ ny lalana nankamin’ ny vavahady tanelanelan’ ny manda roa, izay eo anilan’ ny sahan’ ny mpanjaka (fa ny Kaldeana nanodidina ny tanàna), ary ny mpanjaka nandeha tamin’ ny lalana mankeny amin’ ny tani-hay.
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 Ary ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana nanenjika ny mpanjaka ka nahatratra azy teny amin’ ny tani-hay any Jeriko; dia nipariaka nandao azy ny miaramilany rehetra.
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 Ary voasambotra ny mpanjaka ka nentina niakatra ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla, ka dia notsaraina tao izy.
Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
7 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Zedekia dia novonoiny teo imason-drainy, ary ny mason’ i Zedekia kosa nopotsiriny, dia nafatony tamin’ ny gadra varahina izy ka nentiny nankany Babylona.
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 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito tamin’ ny volana fahadimy tamin’ ny taona fahasivy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona dia tonga tany Jerosalema Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, mpanompon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona,
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 ka nandoro ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka mbamin’ ny trano rehetra tany Jerosalema: ny trano lehibe rehetra dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo avokoa.
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 Ary ny manda manodidina an’ i Jerosalema dia noravan’ ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana rehetra, izay nanaraka ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina.
And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
11 Ary izay olona sisa tao an-tanana sy izay efa nandositra nanatona ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona ary ny vahoaka betsaka sisa dia nentin’ i Neborazadana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ho babo avokoa.
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 Nefa ny olona malahelo dia nisy navelany ihany ho mpamboatra tanim-boaloboka sy ho mpiasa tany.
But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
13 Ary ireo andry varahina teo an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny fitoeran-tavin-drano sy ny tavin-drano varahina lehibe izay teo an-tranon’ i Jehovah dia notorotoroin’ ny Kaldeana, ka nentiny ho any Babylona ny varahina.
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 Ary nentiny koa ny vilany fandraofan-davenona sy ny sotron’ afo sy ny antsy sy ny lovia kely ary ny fanaka varahina rehetra izay nenti-nanao fanompoam-pivavahana.
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 Ary nentiny koa ny fitoeran-davenon-jiro sy ny lovia famafazana na ny volamena na ny volafotsy dia samy nentiny avokoa
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 ary ny andry roa sy ny tavin-drano lehibe iray ary ireo fitoeran-tavin-drano, izay nataon’ i Solomona ho amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah; ny varahina tamin’ izany fanaka rehetra izany dia tsy hita lanja.
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 Valo ambin’ ny folo hakiho ny hahavon’ ny andry iray, ary varahina ny kapitaliny sady telo hakiho ny hahavony; ary varahina avokoa ny harato sy ny ampongabendanitra amin’ ny kapitaliny manodidina; ary tahaka izany koa ny andry faharoa mbamin’ ny harato.
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 Ary ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina nisambotra an’ i Seraia mpisoronabe sy zefania, mpisorona manarakaraka, ary mpiandry varavarana koa telo lahy;
Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,
19 ary tao an-tanàna no nisamborany ny tandapa anankiray, mpifehy ny miaramila, ary dimy lahy tamin’ izay mpitoetra teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka, izay hita tao an-tanàna, ary ny mpanoratry ny komandin’ ny miaramila, izay mpandamina ny ho miaramila, sy ny olona tompon-tany enim-polo lahy, izay hitany tao an-tanàna;
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 dia nosamborin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ireo ka nentiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla.
Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 Dia novonoin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla any amin’ ny tany Hamata ireo. Toy izany no nitondrana ny Joda ho babo niala tamin’ ny taniny.
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 Fa ny amin’ ny olona izay sisa tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda, izay navelan’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia Gedalia, zanak’ i Ahikama, zanak’ i Safana, no notendreny ho mpanapaka azy.
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 Ary nony ren’ ny komandin’ ny miaramila rehetra mbamin’ ny olom-peheziny avy fa Gedalia no notendren’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, ho mpanapaka, dia nankany amin’ i Gedalia tany Mizpa Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, sy Johanana, zanak’ i Karea, sy Seraia, zanak’ i Tanometa Netofatita, ary Jazania, zanak’ ilay Makatita, dia ireo sy ny olom-peheziny avy.
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 Ary Gedalia nianiana taminy sy tamin’ ny olom-peheziny ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra ny amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny Kaldeana, fa mitomoera amin’ ny tany, ary manompoa ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona, fa izany no hahasoa anareo.
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 Ary tamin’ ny volana fahafito, dia avy Isimaela, zanak’ i Netania, zanak’ i Elisama, isan’ ny fianakavian’ ny mpanjaka, mbamin’ ny olona folo lahy koa ka namely an’ i Gedalia, dia nahafaty azy sy ny Jiosy ary ny Kaldeana izay tao aminy tany Mizpa.
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 Ary niainga ny olona rehetra, na kely na lehibe, mbamin’ ny komandin’ ny miaramila, nankany Egypta, fa natahotra ny Kaldeana izy.
And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
27 Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny taona fahafito amby telo-polo taorian’ ny namaboana an’ i Joiakina, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tamin’ ny taona vao nanjakan’ i Evila-merodaka, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia nasandrany hiala tao an-trano-maizina Joiakina, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
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 Dia nitenenany soa izy, ka ny seza fiandrianany nataony ambony noho ny seza fiandrianan’ ireo mpanjaka namany tao Babylona.
And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
29 Ka dia novan’ i Joiakina ny fitafiany fony mbola tao an-trano-maizina; ary nihinan-kanina teo anatrehany mandrakariva izy tamin’ ny andro niainany rehetra.
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 Ary ny hanina nohaniny dia hanina nomena avy amin’ ny mpanjaka araka ny tokony ho anjarany isan’ andro isan’ andro tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainany.
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.
