2 Kingi 25
1 Na i te iwa o nga tau o tona kingitanga, i te tekau o nga marama i te tekau o nga ra o te marama, ka tae mai a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, a ia me tana ope katoa, ki Hiruharama, a nohoia ana e ia a reira; a hanga ana e ratou etahi taumaihi mo re ira a tawhio noa.
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it. And they built forts against it round about.
2 Heoi ka whakapaea te pa a tae noa ki te tekau ma tahi o nga tau o Kingi Terekia.
So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
3 I te iwa o nga ra o te wha o nga marama he nui te matekai o te pa, a kahore he taro ma nga tangata o te whenua.
On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 Katahi ka wahia te pa, a rere ana nga tangata whawhai katoa i te po na te ara o te kuwaha i waenganui o nga taiepa e rua, na tera i te kari a te kingi; he mea karapoti hoki te pa e nga Karari; ko te kingi i haere na te Arapa.
Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were against the city round about), and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
5 Otiia i whai te ope a nga Karari i te kingi, a ka mau ia ki nga mania i Heriko: a ko tana ope katoa i marara noa atu i a ia.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all his army was scattered from him.
6 Na ka mau i a ratou te kingi, ka kawea ki te kingi o Papurona ki Ripira; a ka korerotia te whakawa mona.
Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah. And they gave judgment upon him.
7 Na ka whakamatea e ratou nga tama a Terekia i tona aroaro, whakamatapotia iho nga kanohi o Terekia, a herea ana ia ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
And they killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
8 I te rima o nga marama, i te whitu o nga ra o te marama, ara i te tekau ma iwa o nga tau o Kingi Nepukaneha, kingi o Papurona, ka haere mai a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki, he tangata na te kingi o Papurona, ki Hiruharama.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.
9 Na ka tahuna e ia te whare o Ihowa, me te whare o te kingi, me nga whare katoa o Hiruharama, tae noa ki nga whare nunui katoa; tahuna ana e ia ki te ahi.
And he burnt the house of Jehovah, and the king's house. And all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burnt with fire.
10 Wahia iho hoki nga taiepa o Hiruharama a whawhe noa e te ope katoa o nga Karari, i haere mai nei ratou ko te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Na, ko te morehu o te iwi i mahue i te pa, me te hunga i papahoro atu, i taka atu ra ki te kingi o Papurona, me nga toenga atu o taua huihui, i whakahekea e Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
And the remnant of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive.
12 I waiho ia e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki etahi o nga rawakore o te whenua hei kaimahi waina, hei kaimahi whenua.
But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 Na, ko nga pou parahi i te whare o Ihowa, me nga turanga, me te moana parahi i te whare o Ihowa, wawahia ana e nga Karari, a maua atu ana e ratou te parahi o aua mea ki Papurona.
And the pillars of brass that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 I maua atu ano e ratou nga pata, me nga koko pungarehu, me nga kuku, me nga koko, me nga oko parahi katoa mo a ratou mahi tapu.
And they took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
15 Ko nga oko ngarahu ano, ko nga peihana; ko nga mea koura, ko nga mea hiriwa, tena he koura, tena he hiriwa, tangohia ake e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki.
And the captain of the guard took away the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver.
16 Ko nga pou e rua, ko te moana kotahi, me nga turanga e rua i hanga e Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa; kahore he paunatanga o te parahi o enei oko katoa.
The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah, the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 Ko te tiketike o tetahi o nga pou kotahi tekau ma waru nga whatianga, he parahi te whakapaipai o runga: a ko te tiketike o te whakapaipai e toru nga whatianga; he parahi katoa te mea i whiria, me nga pamekaranete o te whakapaipai a whawhe noa: r ite tonu hoki ki enei to te rua o nga pou, he mea whiri ano tona.
The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it. And the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass. And the second pillar had like these with network.
18 I tangohia ano e te rangatira o nga kaitiaki a Heraia, te tino tohunga, ratou ko te tohunga tuarua, ko Tepania, ko nga kaitiaki tokotoru o te kuwaha.
And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold.
19 I tangohia ano e ia i te pa tetahi kaiwhakahaere, ko te rangatira o nga tangata whawhai; tokorima o nga tangata no te aroaro pu ake o te kingi, he hunga i rokohanga ki roto ki te pa: me te kaituhituhi, ara te rangatira o te ope, te kaihuihui i n ga tangata o te whenua; me nga tangata e ono tekau o te iwi o te whenua i rokohanga e ia ki roto ki te pa.
And he took an officer out of the city who was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the city.
20 Na ka mau a Neputaraarana rangatira o nga kaitiaki ki a ratou, kawea ana ki te kingi o Papurona, ki Ripira.
And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
21 Na patua ana ratou e te kingi o Papurona, whakamatea ana ki Ripira, ki te whenua o Hamata. Heoi whakahekea atu ana a Hura i tona oneone.
And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
22 Na, ko te hunga i mahue ki te whenua o Hura, ko nga mea i mahue i a Nepukaneha kingi o Papurona, meinga ana e ia ko Keraria tama a Ahikama tama a Hapana hei kawana mo ratou.
And as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor over them.
23 Na, i te rongonga o nga rangatira ope katoa, o ratou ko a ratou tangata, kua meinga e te kingi o Papurona a Keraria hei kawana, ka haere mai ratou ki a Keraria ki Mihipa, ara a Ihimaera tama a Netania, a Iohanana tama a Karea, a Heraia tama a Ta nahumete Netopati, a Iaatania tama a tetahi Maakati, me a ratou tangata.
Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.
24 Na ka oati a Keraria ki a ratou, ki a ratou tangata hoki, ka mea ki a ratou, Kaua e wehi, he mea mo nga pononga o nga Karari: e noho i te whenua, e mahi ki te kingi o Papurona, a ka whai pai koutou.
And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans. Dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Otiia i te whitu o nga marama ka haere mai a Ihimaera tama a Netania tama a Erihama, he momo kingi, ratou ko ona hoa, katohi tekau tangata, a patua iho a Keraria, mate rawa, ratou ko ona hoa, ko nga Hurai, ko nga Karari, i Mihipa.
But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Na ka whakatika te iwi katoa, te iti me te rahi, ratou ko nga rangatira ope, a haere ana ki Ihipa, i wehi hoki ratou i nga Karari.
And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt, for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 Na, i te toru tekau ma whitu o nga tau o te whakahekenga atu o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura, i te tekau ma rua o nga marama, i te rua tekau ma whitu o nga ra o te marama, ka whakaarahia e Ewiri, Meroraka kingi o Papurona, i te tau i kingi ai ia, te m atenga o Iehoiakini kingi o Hura i roto i te whare herehere.
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.
28 A he pai ana korero ki a ia, nekehia ake ana e ia tona torona ki runga ake i nga torona o nga kingi i tona taha i Papurona.
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
29 Ko nga kakahu o tona hereherenga i whakawhitia e ia; a kai taro ana ia i tona aroaro i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
and changed his prison garments. And Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life,
30 A ko te wahi mana, he mea pumau, he mea homai e te kingi ki a ia i tenei ra, i tenei ra, i nga ra katoa i ora ai ia.
and for his allowance. There was a continual allowance given him from the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
