2 Mootota 25
1 Kanaafuu bara mootummaa Zedeqiyaa keessa waggaa saglaffaatti, bultii kurnaffaa jiʼa kurnaffaatti, Nebukadnezar mootiin Baabilon guutummaa loltoota isaa wajjin Yerusaalemitti duule. Innis magaalattiin ala qubatee naannoo ishee hundatti tuullaa biyyoo marse.
So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
2 Magaalaan sunis hamma waggaa kudha tokkoffaa bara Zedeqiyaa Mootichaatti akkuma marfamtetti turte.
And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
3 Bultii saglaffaa jiʼa afuraffaatti, magaalattii keessatti beelli akka malee hammaatee namni waan nyaatu tokko illee dhabe.
By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
4 Ergasii dallaan magaalattii cabsamee loltoonni hundinuus utuma Baabilononni magaalaa sana marsanii jiranuu karaa karra dallaa iddoo biqiltuu mootichaa bira jiru lamaan gidduu baasu sanaatiin halkaniin baʼanii baqatan. Isaanis Arabbaatti baqatan;
Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
5 loltoonni Baabilon garuu mooticha ariʼanii dirree Yerikoo irratti isa qaqqaban. Loltoonni isaa hundis isa irraa gargar baʼanii bibittinnaaʼanii turan;
but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
6 innis ni qabame. Gara mootii Baabilonitti Riiblaatti geeffamee achittis itti murame.
The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
7 Isaanis ijuma isaa duratti ilmaan Zedeqiyaa fixan; isaanis ija isaa keessaa baasanii foncaa naasiitiin hidhanii Baabilonitti isa geessan.
And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
8 Bara mootummaa Nebukadnezar mooticha Baabilon keessa waggaa kudha saglaffaatti, bultii torbaffaa jiʼa shanaffaatti, Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsa mootummaa, qondaalli mootii Baabilon sun gara Yerusaalem dhufe.
On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
9 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti, masaraa mootummaattii fi manneen Yerusaalem hundatti ibidda qabsiise. Manneen gurguddaa hundas ni gube.
He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
10 Loltoonni Baabilon kanneen ajajaa eegumsa mootummaa jala turan hundi dallaawwan naannoo Yerusaalem turan diigan.
And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun namoota magaalaa keessatti hafanii fi warra baqatanii mootii Baabilonitti kooluu galan boojiʼee fudhate.
Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
12 Ajajaan sun garuu hiyyeeyyii biyyattii keessaa gariin akka wayinii kunuunsanii fi lafa qotaniif achitti dhiise.
But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
13 Baabilononni sun utubaawwan naasii, baattuuwwan iddoodhaa sochoʼanii fi Gaanii naasii irraa hojjetamee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessa ture caccabsanii naasii sana immoo Baabilonitti geessan.
Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
14 Akkasumas okkoteewwan, waan ittiin daaraa hammaaran, waan ittiin ibsaa irraa daaraa dhadhaʼan, caabiiwwanii fi miʼoota naasii irraa hojjetaman kanneen tajaajila mana qulqullummaatiif oolan hunda fudhatan.
They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
15 Ajajaan eegumsaa sunis girgiraawwanii fi waciitiiwwan ittiin dhiiga facaasan kanneen hundi isaanii warqee qulqulluu irraa yookaan meetii irraa hojjetaman fudhatee deeme.
The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
16 Ulfinni naasii kan Solomoon ittiin utubaawwan lamaan, Gaanii fi baattuuwwan iddoodhaa sochoʼaniin mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootiif hojjetee ture waan madaalliin madaaluu dandaʼuu oli turan.
As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
17 Tokkoon tokkoon utubaa sanaa dhundhuma kudha saddeet ol dheerata ture. Guutuun naasii kan utubaa tokko irraas dhundhuma sadii ol dheeratee naannoon isaa guutuun sibiila wal keessa loofamee tolfamee fi roomaanii naasiitiin miidhagfamee ture. Utubaan kaanis sibiila isaa kan wal keessa loofamee tolfame wajjin kanuma fakkaata ture.
Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
18 Ajajaan eegumsaa sun, Seraayaa lubicha hangafa, Sefaaniyaa lubicha Sadarkaan isatti aanuu fi eegdota balbalaa sadan hidhee fuudhee deeme.
The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
19 Warra amma illee magaalaa keessatti hafan keessaa ajajaa loltootaatii fi gorsitoota mootii shan fudhate. Akkasumas barreessaa qondaala ol aanaa ture kan saba keessaa loltummaaf namoota filatu sanaa fi namoota isaa kanneen magaalaa keessatti argaman jaatama fudhate.
Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
20 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan sun hunda isaanii guuree Riiblaatti gara mooticha Baabilonitti geesse.
Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 Mootichis achuma Riiblaat biyya Hamaati keessatti isaan ni fixe. Yihuudaanis akkasiin boojiʼamtee biyya isheetii baate.
There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
22 Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon akka inni namoota Yihuudaatti hambise sana bulchuuf Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam ilma Shaafaan sana muude.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
23 Ajajjoonni loltootaa hundii fi namoonni isaanii yeroo akka mootichi Baabilon Gedaaliyaasin bulchaa kutaa biyyaa godhee muude dhagaʼanitti Gedaaliyaas bira Miisphaa dhufan; isaanis Ishmaaʼeel ilma Naataaniyaa, Yoohaanaan ilma Qaareyaa, Seraayaa ilma Tanhumeeti namicha Netoof sanaa, Yaazaniyaa ilma namicha Maʼakaatii fi namoota isaanii turan.
When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
24 Gedaaliyaasis, “Qondaaltota Baabilon hin sodaatinaa; biyyattii keessa qubadhaatii mooticha Baabilon tajaajilaa; waan gaariitu isinii taʼaatii” jedhee isaanii fi namoota isaaniitiif kakate.
And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
25 Garuu jiʼa torbaffaa keessa Ishmaaʼeel ilmi Naataaniyaa ilma Eliishaamaa kan sanyii moototaa irraa dhalate sun namoota kudhan wajjin dhufee Gedaaliyaas, namoota Yihuudaatii fi namoota Baabilon kanneen isa wajjin Miisphaa turan fixe.
In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Kana irratti namni hundi xinnaa fi guddaan, Baabilonota sodaatee ajajjoota waraanaa wajjin gara Gibxitti baqate.
Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
27 Yehooyaakiin mootiin Yihuudaa boojiʼamee waggaa soddomii torbaffaa isaatti, Eewiil Marodaak mootii Baabilon taʼe; innis wagguma sana keessa bultii digdamii torbaffaa jiʼa kudha lammaffaatti Yehooyaakiin mootii Yihuudaa sana mana hidhaatii gad dhiise.
On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
28 Afaan tolaadhaanis isatti dubbatee barcuma ulfinaa kan barcuma mootota isa wajjin Baabilon keessa turan kaanii caalu kenneef.
And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
29 Kanaafuu Yehooyaakiin uffata isaa kan mana hidhaatti uffachaa ture sana of irraa baasee bara jireenya isaa guutuu yeroo hunda maaddii mootichaa irraa nyaate.
So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
30 Mootichis hamma inni lubbuudhaan jiraatetti guyyuma guyyaadhaan waan isaaf barbaachisu Yehooyaakiiniif kennaa ture.
And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
