1 ‌ʻI hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona naʻe ʻalu hake ai ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea naʻe hoko ʻa Sihoiakimi ko ʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu: pea hili ia naʻa ne toe angatuʻu kiate ia.

During the reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar, kind of Babylon, invaded the country and Jehoiakim submitted to him. But after three years Jehoiakim rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.

2 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia ʻae kautau ʻoe kakai Kalitia mo e kautau ʻoe kakai Silia, mo e kautau ʻoe kakai Moape, mo e kautau ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea ne fekauʻi ʻakinautolu ke tauʻi ʻa Siuta, ke fakaʻauha ia, ʻo fakatatau ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne folofola ai ʻi heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita.

Then the Lord sent bands of raiders against Judah to destroy them. They came from Babylonia, Aram, Moab, and Ammon, just as the Lord had said through his servants the prophets.

The Lord spoke against Judah to banish them from his presence because of all the sins that Manasseh had committed, and the innocent people he had killed,

4 Pea koeʻuhi foki ko e toto māʻoniʻoni naʻa ne lilingi: he naʻa ne fakapito ʻa Selūsalema ʻi he toto māʻoniʻoni; ʻaia naʻe ʻikai finangalo ʻa Sihova ke fakamolemole.

5 Pea ko e toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihoiakimi, mo ia kotoa pē naʻa ne fai ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta?

The rest of what happened in Jehoiakim's reign, and all he did, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

6 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Sihoiakimi mo ʻene ngaahi tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Sihoiakini.

Jehoiakim died, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.

7 Pea naʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite mei hono fonua: he naʻe maʻu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, mei he vaitafe ʻo ʻIsipite, ʻo aʻu ki he vaitafe ko ʻIufaletesi.

The king of Egypt didn't leave his country again for the king of Babylon had taken all the territory that used to belong to him, from the Wadi of Egypt all the way to the Euphrates River.

Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months. His mother was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan. She came from Jerusalem.

9 Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe heʻene tamai.

Jehoiachin did what was evil in the Lord's sight, just as his father had done.

10 ʻI he kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, pea naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae tau.

At that time the officers of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon attacked Jerusalem and besieged it.

11 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ke tauʻi ʻae kolo, pea naʻe kāpui ia ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki,

Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon came himself while his officers were besieging the city.

Jehoiachin, king of Israel, surrendered to the king of Babylon, along with his mother, his officers, his commanders, and his officials. It was in the eighth year of his reign that Nebuchadnezzar captured Jehoiachin.

13 Pea naʻa ne fetuku mei ai ʻae ngaahi koloa kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi koloa mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻa ne tuʻutuʻu ke iiki ʻae ngaahi ipu koula ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he faletapu ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova.

Nebuchadnezzar took all the treasures from the Lord's Temple and the royal palace, and he cut up all the gold items that Solomon, king of Israel, had made for the Lord's Temple, as the Lord had said would happen.

14 Pea naʻa ne fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae kakai Selūsalema kotoa pē mo e ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē, mo e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, ʻio, ko e pōpula ʻe tokotaha mano, mo e kau tangata tufunga mo e kau tufunga ukamea: naʻe ʻikai toe ha [kakai], ka ko e kakai masiva ʻaupito ʻoe fonua.

He deported all of Jerusalem, all the commanders and experienced soldiers, all the craftsmen and metalworkers, a total of ten thousand prisoners. Only the very poor people of the land were left.

16 Pea ko e kau tangata toʻa kotoa pē, ʻio, ʻae toko fitu afe, mo e kau tufunga kehekehe, mo e kau tuki ukamea, ko e toko taha afe, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe mālohi mo poto ʻi he tau, naʻe fetuku pōpula ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Papilone.

The king of Babylon also deported to Babylon all seven thousand fighting men and one thousand craftsmen and metalworkers, who were all strong and ready for battle.

17 Pea naʻe fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Matania ko e tokoua ʻo ʻene tamai ke tuʻi ia ko hono fetongi, pea naʻa ne liliu hono hingoa ko Setikia.

The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's uncle, king instead of him, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

18 Naʻe uofulu ma taha ʻae taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Setikia ʻi heʻene kamata ʻene pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hamutali, ko e ʻofefine ia ʻo Selemaia ʻo Lipina.

Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah She came from Libnah.

19 Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko ia kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiakimi.

He did evil in the Lord's sight, just as Jehoiakim had done.

20 He ko e meʻa ʻi he houhau ʻa Sihova naʻe hoko eni ki Selūsalema mo Siuta, pea koeʻuhi ke ne liʻaki ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao, naʻe fai ʻae angatuʻu ʻa Setikia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

All this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, because of the Lord's anger, until he eventually banished them from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
