1 Nionjomb’eo tañ’andro’e t’i Nebokadnetsare, le nimpitoro’e telo taoñe t’Iehoiakime; naho nivalike vaho niola’e,
In his days went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and Joakim became his servant three years; and [then] he turned and revolted from him.
2 vaho nirahe’ Iehovà ama’e ty firimboñan-dahindefon-te-Kasdý, naho ty firimboña’ o nte-Arameo naho ty firimboña’ o nte-Moabeo, naho ty firimboña’ o Ana’ i Amoneo; nampihitrife’e am’ Iehoda handrotsak’ aze, ty amy tsara nafe’ Iehovà añamo mpitoro’e mpitokio.
And the lord sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of Syria, and the bans of Moab, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them into the land of Juda to prevail [against it], according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
3 Toe i lili’ Iehovày ty nivotraha’ izay am’ Iehoda, hanintake iareo tsy hahavazoho’e, ty amo hakeo’ i Menasèo, naho o fitoloña’e iabio,
Moreover it was the purpose of the Lord concerning Juda, to remove them from his presence, because of the sins of Manasses, according to all that he did.
4 naho o lio-maliñe nampiorihe’eo, fa natsafe’e lio-màliñe t’Ierosalaime, ze tsy nimetea’ Iehovà hapoke.
Moreover he shed innocent blood, and filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon [it].
5 Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iehoiakime ila’eo, o nanoe’e iabio, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
6 Nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e ao t’Iehoiakime le nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehoiakine ana’e.
And Joakim slept with his fathers: and Joachim his son reigned in his stead.
7 Le tsy nionjo boak’ an-tane’e añe ka ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime, amy te tinava’ ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele ze hene hanañam-panjaka’ i Mitsraime boak’ an-Toraha’ i Mitsraime pak’ an-tSaka-Parate añe.
And the king of Egypt came no more out of his land: for the king of Babylon took away all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.

Eighteen years old [was] Joachim when he began to reign, an he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Nestha, daughter of Ellanastham, of Jerusalem.
9 Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o fonga satan-droae’eo.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father did.
10 Nionjomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo henane zay o mpitoro’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Baveleo, nañarikatoke i Rovay.
At that time went up Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Nivotrak’ amy rovay t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele ie fa nañarikatohe’ o mpitoro’eo.
And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
12 Niavotse mb’ amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley t’Iehoiakine mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ie naho i rene’e naho o mpitoro’eo naho o ana-dona’eo naho o mpifehe’eo; vaho ninday aze an-drohy an-taom-pifehea’e faha-valo ty mpanjaka’ i Bavele.
And Joachim king of Juda came forth to the king of Babylon, he and his servants, and his mother, and his princes, and his eunuchs; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Hene nakare’e o vara añ’ anjomba’ Iehovào naho o vara añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakaio, le songa pinatepate’e o fanake volamena tsinene’ i Selomò mpanjaka’ Israele an-kivoho’ Iehovào, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
And he brought forth thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and he cut up all the golden vessels which Solomon the king of Israel [had] made in the temple of the Lord, according to the word of the Lord.
14 Le nendese’e an-drohy mb’eo iaby t’Ierosalaime naho o roandria’eo naho o fanalolahi’eo, mpirohy rai-ale, vaho ze hene mpandranjy naho mpanefe, le tsy aman-konka’e naho tsy o rarake am’ ondati’ i taneio avao.
And he carried away [the inhabitants of] Jerusalem, and all the captains, and the mighty men, taking captive ten thousand prisoners, and every artificer and smith: and only the poor of the land were left.
15 Aa le nendese’e an-drohy mb’e Bavele mb’eo t’Iehoiakine, naho nente’e ty rene’ i mpanjakay naho o valim-panjakao naho o mpifehe’eo vaho o mpiaolo amy taneio boak’ Ierosalaime sikala e Bavele añe an-drohy.
And he carried Joachim away to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his eunuchs: and he carried away the mighty men of the land into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 Le o fanalolahy iabio: fito arivo, naho o mpandranjio vaho o mpanefeo, arivo, songa naozatse nahafialy, sindre nasese’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley an-drohy mb’e Bavele añe.
And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and one thousand artificers and smiths: all [were] mighty [men] fit for war; and the king of Babylon carried them captive to Babylon.
17 Nanoe’ i mpanjaka’ i Baveley mpanjaka t’i Matanià, rahalahin-drae’ i Iehoiakine handimbe aze vaho novae’e ho Tsidkià ty tahina’e.
And the king of Babylon made Batthanias his son king in his stead, and called his name Sedekias.
18 Roapolo taoñe raik’ amby t’i Tsidkià te niorotse nifehe; le nifehe folo-taoñe raik’ amby e Ierosalaime ao; i Hamotale, ana’ Iiremeià nte-Libnà, ty tahinan-drene’e.
Twenty and one years old [was] Sedekias when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Amital daughter of Jeremias.
19 Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, hambañe amy nanoe’ Iehoiakime iabiy.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Joachim did.
20 Toe niatreatre Ierosalaime naho Iehoda ty haviñera’ Iehovà ampara’ te rinoa’e boak’ añ’ atrefa’e eo. Toe niola amy mpanjaka’ i Baveley t’i Tsidkià.
For it was according to the Lord's anger against Jerusalem and on Juda, until he cast them out of his presence, that Sedekias revolted against the king of Babylon.
