2 Mpanjaka 24
1 Nionjomb’eo tañ’andro’e t’i Nebokadnetsare, le nimpitoro’e telo taoñe t’Iehoiakime; naho nivalike vaho niola’e,
In his days came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and Jehoyakim became his servant for three years: and then he returned and rebelled against 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 predatory bands of the Chaldeans, and predatory bands of the Syrians, and predatory bands of the Moabites, and predatory bands of the children of 'Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of 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,
But only at the order of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove the same out of his sight, for the sins of Menasseh, in accordance with all that he had done;
4 naho o lio-maliñe nampiorihe’eo, fa natsafe’e lio-màliñe t’Ierosalaime, ze tsy nimetea’ Iehovà hapoke.
And also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; wherefore the Lord would not pardon.
5 Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iehoiakime ila’eo, o nanoe’e iabio, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
6 Nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e ao t’Iehoiakime le nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehoiakine ana’e.
And Jehoyakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoyachin his son became king 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 again out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that had pertained to the king of Egypt.
8 Ni-folo-taoñe valo’ amby t’Iehoiakine te niorotse nifehe, le nifeleke e Ierosalaime ao telo-volañe. I Nekostà, ana’ i Elnatane, nte-Ierosalaime, ty tahinan-drene’e.
Eighteen years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Nechushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re manahake o fonga satan-droae’eo.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as that his father had done.
10 Nionjomb’e Ierosalaime mb’eo henane zay o mpitoro’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Baveleo, nañarikatoke i Rovay.
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was put in a state of siege.
11 Nivotrak’ amy rovay t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele ie fa nañarikatohe’ o mpitoro’eo.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging 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 Jehoyachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his court-officers: and the king of Babylon took him [captive] 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 carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon the king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had spoken.
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 led away as exiles all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand exiles, and all the craftsmen and locksmiths: there was none left, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
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 led away Jehoyachin as exile to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his court-officers, and the mighty men of the land, he led into exile 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, seven thousand [in number], and the craftsmen and the locksmiths a thousand [in number], all strong men, apt for war; and the king of Babylon brought them into exile 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 Mattanyah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
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 Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, hambañe amy nanoe’ Iehoiakime iabiy.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as Jehoyakim had done.
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 through the anger of the Lord it occurred in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
