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.
It happened that in the ninth year of the reign of King Zedekiah, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem. He camped opposite it, and they built a siege wall around it.
2 Magaalaan sunis hamma waggaa kudha tokkoffaa bara Zedeqiyaa Mootichaatti akkuma marfamtetti turte.
So the city was besieged until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah's reign.
3 Bultii saglaffaa jiʼa afuraffaatti, magaalattii keessatti beelli akka malee hammaatee namni waan nyaatu tokko illee dhabe.
On the ninth day of the fourth month of that year, the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.
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 broken into, and all the fighting men fled at night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, although the Chaldeans were all around the city. The king went 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 army of Chaldeans pursued King Zedekiah and overtook him in the plains of the Jordan River valley near Jericho. All his army was scattered away from him.
6 innis ni qabame. Gara mootii Baabilonitti Riiblaatti geeffamee achittis itti murame.
They captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they passed sentence on him.
7 Isaanis ijuma isaa duratti ilmaan Zedeqiyaa fixan; isaanis ija isaa keessaa baasanii foncaa naasiitiin hidhanii Baabilonitti isa geessan.
As for Zedekiah's sons, they slaughtered them before his eyes. Then he put out his eyes, bound him in bronze chains, and brought 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.
Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, a servant of the king of Babylon and commander of his bodyguards, came to Jerusalem.
9 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti, masaraa mootummaattii fi manneen Yerusaalem hundatti ibidda qabsiise. Manneen gurguddaa hundas ni gube.
He burned the house of Yahweh, the king's palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem; also every important building in the city he burned.
10 Loltoonni Baabilon kanneen ajajaa eegumsa mootummaa jala turan hundi dallaawwan naannoo Yerusaalem turan diigan.
As for all the walls around Jerusalem, all the army of the Babylonians who were under the commander of the bodyguard destroyed them.
11 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan eegumsaa sun namoota magaalaa keessatti hafanii fi warra baqatanii mootii Baabilonitti kooluu galan boojiʼee fudhate.
As for the rest of the people who were left in the city, those who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the remainder of the population—Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, took them away into exile.
12 Ajajaan sun garuu hiyyeeyyii biyyattii keessaa gariin akka wayinii kunuunsanii fi lafa qotaniif achitti dhiise.
But the commander of the bodyguard did leave some of the poorest of the land to work 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.
As for the bronze pillars that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans broke them into pieces and carried the bronze back 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.
The pots, shovels, lamp trimmers, spoons, and all the utensils of bronze with which the priests had served in the temple—the Chaldeans took them all away.
15 Ajajaan eegumsaa sunis girgiraawwanii fi waciitiiwwan ittiin dhiiga facaasan kanneen hundi isaanii warqee qulqulluu irraa yookaan meetii irraa hojjetaman fudhatee deeme.
The pots for removing ashes and the bowls that were made of gold, and those made of silver—the captain of the king's guard took them away as well.
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 two pillars, the sea, and the stands that Solomon had made for the house of Yahweh contained more bronze than could be weighed.
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.
The height of the first pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on top of it. The capital was three cubits high, with latticework and pomegranates all around on the capital, all made of bronze. The other pillar and its latticework were the same as the first.
18 Ajajaan eegumsaa sun, Seraayaa lubicha hangafa, Sefaaniyaa lubicha Sadarkaan isatti aanuu fi eegdota balbalaa sadan hidhee fuudhee deeme.
The commander of the bodyguard took Seraiah the chief priest, together with Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three gatekeepers.
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 the city he took prisoner an officer who was in charge of soldiers, and five men of those who advised the king, who were still in the city. He also took prisoner the king's army officer responsible for drafting men into the army, along with sixty important men from the land who were in the city.
20 Nebuzaradaan ajajaan sun hunda isaanii guuree Riiblaatti gara mooticha Baabilonitti geesse.
Then Nebuzaradan, the commander of the bodyguard, 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.
The king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. In this way, Judah went out of its land into exile.
22 Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon akka inni namoota Yihuudaatti hambise sana bulchuuf Gedaaliyaas ilma Ahiiqaam ilma Shaafaan sana muude.
As for the people who remained in the land of Judah, those whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, he put Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, in charge of them.
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.
Now when all the commanders of the soldiers, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah. These men were Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maakathite—they and their men.
24 Gedaaliyaasis, “Qondaaltota Baabilon hin sodaatinaa; biyyattii keessa qubadhaatii mooticha Baabilon tajaajilaa; waan gaariitu isinii taʼaatii” jedhee isaanii fi namoota isaaniitiif kakate.
Gedaliah made an oath to them and to their men, and said to them, “Do not be afraid of the Chaldean officials. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go 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.
But it happened that in the seventh month Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, from the royal family, came with ten men and attacked Gedaliah. Gedaliah died, along with the men of Judah and the Babylonians 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, from the least to the greatest, and the commanders of the soldiers, arose and went to Egypt, because they were afraid of the Babylonians.
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.
It happened later in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, that Awel-Marduk king of Babylon released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. This happened in the year that Awel-Marduk began to reign.
28 Afaan tolaadhaanis isatti dubbatee barcuma ulfinaa kan barcuma mootota isa wajjin Baabilon keessa turan kaanii caalu kenneef.
He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat more honorable than that 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.
Awel-Marduk removed Jehoiachin's prison clothes, and Jehoiachin ate 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.
A regular food allowance was given to him every day for the rest of his life.
