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 host, against Jerusalem, and pitched 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.
And the city was besieged unto 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.
And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and 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.
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king’s garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about: ) and [the king] went the way toward the plain.
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.
And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were 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.
So they took the king, and brought 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 slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, 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.
And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the month, which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto 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 the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man’s] house burnt he 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 Chaldees, that [were with] the captain of the guard, brake 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.
Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
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 poor 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 the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break 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 the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
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 firepans, and the bowls, [and] such things as [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the guard took away.
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, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; 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 the chapiter upon it [was] brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
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 door:
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 out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land [that 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 Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, 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 slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their 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 that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
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.
And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, 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 sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: 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 seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that 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 armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
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 seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift 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 spake 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 he did eat bread continually before him 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 his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
