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.
And it comes to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamps against it, and builds a surrounding fortification against it.
2 Ary nataony fahirano ny tanàna hatramin’ ny taona fahiraika ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Zedekia mpanjaka.
And the city enters into siege 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 of the month, when the famine is severe in the city, then there has not been 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 is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the city all around, and [the king] goes the way of the plain.
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 force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have been scattered from him;
6 Ary voasambotra ny mpanjaka ka nentina niakatra ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla, ka dia notsaraina tao izy.
and they seize the king, and bring him up to the king of Babylon, to Riblah, and they speak judgment with him.
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.
And they have slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he has blinded the eyes of Zedekiah, and binds him with bronze chains, and they bring him 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,
And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month (it [is] the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon), Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, has come to 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 burns the house of YHWH, and the house of the king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, indeed, he has burned every great house with fire;
10 Ary ny manda manodidina an’ i Jerosalema dia noravan’ ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana rehetra, izay nanaraka ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina.
and all the forces of the Chaldeans, who [are] with the chief of the executioners, have broken 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.
And the rest of the people, those left in the city, and those falling who have fallen to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners has removed;
12 Nefa ny olona malahelo dia nisy navelany ihany ho mpamboatra tanim-boaloboka sy ho mpiasa tany.
and of the poor of the land the chief of the executioners has left for vinedressers and for farmers.
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.
And the pillars of bronze that [are] in the house of YHWH, and the bases, and the sea of bronze, that [is] in the house of YHWH, the Chaldeans have broken in pieces, and carry away their bronze 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.
And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they minister, they have taken;
15 Ary nentiny koa ny fitoeran-davenon-jiro sy ny lovia famafazana na ny volamena na ny volafotsy dia samy nentiny avokoa
and the fire-pans, and the bowls that [are] wholly of silver, the chief of the executioners has taken.
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.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases that Solomon made for the house of YHWH, there was no weighing of the bronze of all these vessels;
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.
eighteen cubits [is] the height of the one pillar, and the capital on it [is] of bronze, and the height of the capital [is] three cubits, and the net and the pomegranates [are] on the capital all around—the whole [is] of bronze; and the second pillar has like these, with the net.
18 Ary ny lehiben’ ny mpiambina nisambotra an’ i Seraia mpisoronabe sy zefania, mpisorona manarakaraka, ary mpiandry varavarana koa telo lahy;
And the chief of the executioners takes Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;
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 he has taken out of the city a certain eunuch who is appointed over the men of war, and five men of those seeing the king’s face who have been found in the city, and the head scribe of the host who musters the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who are found in the city;
20 dia nosamborin’ i Nebozaradana, lehiben’ ny mpiambina, ireo ka nentiny ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Babylona tao Ribla.
and Nebuzaradan chief of the executioners takes them, and causes them to go to the king of Babylon, to Libnah,
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 strikes them, and puts them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removes Judah from off its 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.
And the people that are left in the land of Judah whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has left—he appoints Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, over them.
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 all the heads of the forces hear—they and the men—that the king of Babylon has appointed Gedaliah, and they come to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maachathite—they and their men;
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 swears to them and to their men, and says to them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it is good for 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.
And it comes to pass, in the seventh month, Ishmael son of Nathaniah has come, son of Elishama of the seed of the kingdom, and ten men with him, and they strike Gedaliah, and he dies, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who have been with him in 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 rise, from small even to great, and the heads of the forces, and come to Egypt, for they have been afraid of the presence of 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.
And it comes to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the expulsion of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, Evil-Merodach king of Babylon has lifted up, in the year of his reigning, the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, out of the house of restraint,
28 Dia nitenenany soa izy, ka ny seza fiandrianany nataony ambony noho ny seza fiandrianan’ ireo mpanjaka namany tao Babylona.
and speaks good things with him and puts his throne above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in 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 has changed the garments of his restraint, and he has eaten bread continually before him 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.
and his allowance—a continual allowance—has been given to him from the king, the matter of a day in its day, all [the] days of his life.
