2 Kingi 24
1 I ona ra ka haere mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona; na ka pononga a Iehoiakimi ki a ia, e toru tau. Katahi tera ka tahuri, ka whakakeke ki a ia.
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 Na ka ngarea mai e Ihowa ki a ia nga ope o nga Karari, me nga ope o nga Hiriani, me nga ope o nga Moapi, me nga ope o nga tama a Amona; a ngarea ana mai ratou e ia ki a Hura hei huna mo reira, i rite ai te kupu a Ihowa i korerotia e ana pononga, e nga poropiti.
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 He pono, na te kupu a Ihowa i pa ai tenei ki a Hura, hei whakawatea atu i a ratou i tona aroaro, mo nga hara o Manahi, ara mo ana mea katoa i mea ai ia,
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 Mo te toto harakore hoki i whakahekea e ia; i kapi katoa hoki a Hiruharama i a ia i te toto harakore, a kihai a Ihowa i pai kia whakarerea noatia tenei.
filling Jerusalem with their blood. The Lord was not willing to forgive this.
5 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehoiakimi me ana mea katoa i mea ai ia, kihai ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
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 Na ka moe a Iehoiakimi ki ona matua, a ko Iehoiakini, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
Jehoiakim died, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
7 Na heoi ano putanga o te kingi o Ihipa i tona whenua; kua riro hoki i te kingi o Papurona nga wahi katoa o te kingi o Ihipa, no te awa ra ano o Ihipa tae noa ki te awa ki Uparati.
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 Kotahi tekau ma waru nga tau o Iehoiakini i tona kingitanga, a e toru nga marama i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Nehuhuta, he tamahine na Erenatana o Hiruharama.
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 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa.
Jehoiachin did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father had done.
10 I taua wa ka whakaekea a Hiruharama e nga tangata a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a whakapaea ana te pa.
At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged it.
11 Na ka haere mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona ki te pa, i te mea e whakapaea ana a reira e ana tangata.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came himself while his officers were besieging the city.
12 Na ka puta a Iehoiakini kingi o Hura ki te kingi o Papurona, a ia, tona whaea, ana tangata, ana rangatira, me ana kaiwhakahaere: na kua mau i te kingi o Papurona i te waru o nga tau o tona kingitanga.
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 Na maturia atu ana e ia i reira nga taonga katoa o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te whare o te kingi; tapatapahia ana hoki e ia nga oko koura katoa i hanga e Horomona kingi o Iharaira ki te temepara o Ihowa, pera ana me ta Ihowa i korero ai.
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 Whakahekea katoatia ana hoki e ia a Hiruharama katoa, nga rangatira katoa, me nga marohirohi katoa, tekau mano nga parau, me nga kaimahi katoa, me nga parakimete; kihai tetahi i mahue, heoi ano ko te hunga rawakore o te whenua.
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 A i whakahekea e ia a Iehoiakini ki Pupurona; me te whaea o te kingi, me nga wahine a te kingi, me ana kaiwhakahaere, me te hunga nunui o te whenua; whakahekea ana ratou e ia i Hiruharama hei parau ki Papurona.
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 Me nga toa, e whitu mano, nga kaimahi, nga parakimete, kotahi mano, nga marohirohi katoa e pai ana hei whawhai: kawea ana ratou e te kingi hei parau ki Papurona.
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 Na meinga ana e te kingi o Papurona ko Matania, teina o tona papa, hei kingi i muri i a ia, whakawhitia ketia ana tona ingoa ko Terekia.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king instead of him, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 E rua tekau ma tahi nga tau o Terekia i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ki Hiruharama. A ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Hamutara, he tamahine na Heremaia o Ripina.
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 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa; i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Iehoiakimi.
He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Na reira, i a Ihowa ka riri nei, ka puta te aitua ki Hiruharama, ki a Hura, a maka noatia atu ratou i tona aroaro: a whakakeke ana a Terekia ki te kingi o Papurona.
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.
