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.
In the ninth year of Zedekiah's reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem with his entire army. He set up camp around the city and built siege ramps against the walls.
2 Magaalaan sunis hamma waggaa kudha tokkoffaa bara Zedeqiyaa Mootichaatti akkuma marfamtetti turte.
The city remained under siege until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
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 bad that the people had nothing left to eat.
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 wall was broken through, and all the soldiers escaped at night through the gate between the two walls by the king's garden, even though the Babylonians had the city surrounded. They ran away in the direction of the Arabah,
5 loltoonni Baabilon garuu mooticha ariʼanii dirree Yerikoo irratti isa qaqqaban. Loltoonni isaa hundis isa irraa gargar baʼanii bibittinnaaʼanii turan;
but the Babylonian army chased after the king and caught up with him on the plains of Jericho. His whole army had scattered and left him.
6 innis ni qabame. Gara mootii Baabilonitti Riiblaatti geeffamee achittis itti murame.
They captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where he was sentenced.
7 Isaanis ijuma isaa duratti ilmaan Zedeqiyaa fixan; isaanis ija isaa keessaa baasanii foncaa naasiitiin hidhanii Baabilonitti isa geessan.
They slaughtered Zedekiah's sons while he watched, and then gouged out his eyes, bound him in 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, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, an officer 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 Lord's Temple, the royal palace, and all the large buildings of Jerusalem.
10 Loltoonni Baabilon kanneen ajajaa eegumsa mootummaa jala turan hundi dallaawwan naannoo Yerusaalem turan diigan.
The whole Babylonian army under the commander of the guard knocked down the walls around Jerusalem.
11 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun namoota magaalaa keessatti hafanii fi warra baqatanii mootii Baabilonitti kooluu galan boojiʼee fudhate.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, deported those who were left in the city, even those who had gone over to the side of the king of Babylon, as well as the rest of the population.
12 Ajajaan sun garuu hiyyeeyyii biyyattii keessaa gariin akka wayinii kunuunsanii fi lafa qotaniif achitti dhiise.
But the commander of the guard allowed the poor people who were left in the country to stay and take care of the vineyards and the 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.
The Babylonians broke into pieces the bronze pillars, the movable carts, and the bronze Sea that belonged to the Lord's Temple, and they took all 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 all the pots, shovels, lamp snuffers, dishes, and all the other bronze items 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 commander of the guard removed the censers and bowls, anything that was made of pure gold or 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.
The amount of bronze that came from the two columns, the Sea and the movable carts, which Solomon had made for the Lord's Temple, all of this weighed more than could be measured.
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 column was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital on top of one column was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates around it. The second column was the same, and also had a decorative network.
18 Ajajaan eegumsaa sun, Seraayaa lubicha hangafa, Sefaaniyaa lubicha Sadarkaan isatti aanuu fi eegdota balbalaa sadan hidhee fuudhee deeme.
The commander of the guard took as prisoners Seraiah, the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest, second in rank, and the three Temple 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.
From those left in the city he took the officer in charge of the soldiers, and five of the king's advisors. He also took the secretary to the army commander who was in charge of calling up the people for military service, and sixty other men who were present in the city.
20 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan sun hunda isaanii guuree Riiblaatti gara mooticha Baabilonitti geesse.
Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guard, took them and brought them before the king of Babylon at Riblah.
21 Mootichis achuma Riiblaat biyya Hamaati keessatti isaan ni fixe. Yihuudaanis akkasiin boojiʼamtee biyya isheetii baate.
The king of Babylon had them executed at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So the people of Judah had to leave their 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, son of Shaphan, as governor over the people he had left 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 army officers of Judah and their men learned that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they and their men met with Gedaliah at Mizpah. They included: Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan, son of Kareah, Seraiah, son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, Jaazaniah, son of the Maakathite.
24 Gedaaliyaasis, “Qondaaltota Baabilon hin sodaatinaa; biyyattii keessa qubadhaatii mooticha Baabilon tajaajilaa; waan gaariitu isinii taʼaatii” jedhee isaanii fi namoota isaaniitiif kakate.
Gedaliah swore an oath to them and their men, telling them, “Don't be afraid of the Babylonian officials. Stay here in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and you'll be fine.”
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.
But in the seventh month, Ishmael, son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of royal blood, came with ten men. They attacked and killed Gedaliah, along with the men of Judea and Babylonians who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Kana irratti namni hundi xinnaa fi guddaan, Baabilonota sodaatee ajajjoota waraanaa wajjin gara Gibxitti baqate.
As a result, all the people, from the least to the greatest, along with the army commanders, ran away to Egypt, terrified of what the Babylonians would do.
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.
In the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, from prison. This happened on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin, king of Judah.
28 Afaan tolaadhaanis isatti dubbatee barcuma ulfinaa kan barcuma mootota isa wajjin Baabilon keessa turan kaanii caalu kenneef.
The king of Babylon treated him well him and gave him a position of honor higher than the other kings there 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 was able to remove his prison clothes, and he ate frequently 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.
The king provided Jehoiachin with a daily allowance for the rest of his life.
