2 Tuʻi 25
1 Pea ʻi hono hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻaia mo ʻene tau kotoa pē, ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema, pea naʻa nau fakatoka ʻae tau ki ai; pea naʻa nau langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ki ai ʻo fakatakamilo.
And it came to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came—he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it, —and they built against it a siege wall, round about.
2 Pea naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae tau ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻoe tuʻi ko Setikia.
And the city came into the siege, —until the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
3 Pea ʻi hono hiva ʻoe ʻaho ʻi hono fā ʻoe māhina, naʻe lahi ʻae honge ʻi he kolo, pea naʻe ʻikai ha meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoe fonua.
On the ninth of the month, when the famine had become severe in the city, —and there had come to be no bread for the people of the land,
4 Pea naʻe kapa ʻae kolo, pea naʻe hola ʻae kau tangata [tau ]kotoa pē ʻi he poʻuli ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā maka, ʻaia ʻoku ofi ki he ngoue ʻae tuʻi; (ka ko eni naʻe ʻāʻi ʻae kolo ʻe he kakai Kalitia: ) pea naʻe ʻalu [ʻae tuʻi ]ʻi he hala ki he toafa.
then was the city broken up, and all the men of war [fled] by night by way of the gate between the two walls, which is by the garden of the king, the Chaldeans being near the city round about, —and he went the way of the Waste Plain;
5 Pea naʻe tuli ʻae tuʻi ʻe he tau ʻae kakai Kalitia, ʻonau maʻu atu ʻi he toafa ʻo Sioatani, ka kuo movetevete ʻene tau kotoa pē meiate ia.
and the force of the Chaldeans, pursued, the king, and overtook him in the Waste Plains of Jericho, —and, all his force, was scattered from him.
6 Ko ia naʻa nau puke ʻae tuʻi, mo ʻohake ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi Lipila; pea naʻa nau fakamaauʻi ia.
So they seized the king, and brought him up unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah, —and they pronounced upon him sentence of judgment.
7 Pea naʻa nau tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Setikia ʻi hono ʻao, pea naʻe kapeʻi ʻae mata ʻo Setikia, pea haʻi ia ʻaki ʻae haʻi palasa, pea naʻe ʻave ia ki Papilone.
And, the sons of Zedekiah, they slew before his eyes, —and, the eyes of Zedekiah, put they out, and then bound him with fetters of bronze, and brought him into Babylon.
8 Pea ʻi hono nima ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko hono hongofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe tuʻi ko Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe haʻu ai ki Selūsalema ʻa Nepusaletani, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
And, in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, the same, was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, servant of the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem;
9 Pea naʻe tutu ʻe ia ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi, mo e ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema, mo e fale ʻoe tangataʻeiki kotoa pē naʻa ne tutu ia ʻaki ʻae afi.
and burned the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, —yea, all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man’s house, burned he with fire.
10 Pea ko e tau kotoa pē ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ʻeiki pule ʻoe leʻo, naʻa nau holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo takatakai.
And, the walls of Jerusalem round about, did all the force of the Chaldeans who were with the chief of the royal executioners, break down.
11 Pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe tuku ʻi he kolo, pea mo e kau hola naʻe hoko ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, mo hono toenga ʻoe kakai tokolahi, naʻe fetuku ʻakinautolu ʻe Nepusaletani ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻo ne ʻave.
And, the residue of the people who were left in the city, and the disheartened who fell away unto the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, carry away captive.
12 Ka naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva ʻoe fonua ke nau tauhi ngoue vaine, mo tō ngoue.
But, of the poorest of the land, did the chief of the royal executioners, leave, for vine-dressers and for husbandmen.
13 Pea ko e ngaahi pou palasa naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga, mo e ʻaiʻanga vai palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe tā ʻo lailaiki ʻe he kakai Kalitia, ʻonau fetuku ʻae palasa ki Papilone.
And, the pillars of bronze that were in the house of Yahweh, and the stands, and the sea of bronze which was in the house of Yahweh, the Chaldeans brake in pieces, and they carried away the bronze of them to Babylon;
14 Pea ko e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi huo, mo e ngaahi helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, mo e ngaahi ipu palasa ʻaia naʻa nau fai ʻaki ʻae ngāue, naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave.
and, the caldrons, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, even all the utensils of bronze wherewith ministration used to be made, did they take away;
15 Mo e ngaahi ipu ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi ipu luoluo, mo e ngaahi meʻa koula, ʻi he koula, mo e siliva ʻi he siliva, naʻe ʻave ia ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo.
and, the sprinkling pans and the dashing bowls which were of gold, in gold, and which were of silver, in silver, did, the chief of the royal executions, take away.
16 Ko e pou ʻe ua, mo e ʻaiʻanga vai ʻe taha, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ki he fale ʻo Sihova: ko e palasa ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai faʻa lau hono mamafa.
As for the two pillars the one sea and the stands which Solomon made for the house of Yahweh, without weight, was the bronze of all these things.
17 Ko hono lōloa ʻoe pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu ma ono; pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ko e palasa ia: pea ko e ʻuluʻi pou ko e hanga ia ʻe ono; pea naʻe palasa kotoa pē ʻae ngāue fihifihi mo e ngaahi fuaʻi ʻakau naʻe takatakai ʻi he ʻuluʻi pou: pea naʻe tatau mo ia ʻae ngāue fihifihi ʻi hono ua ʻoe pou.
Eighteen cubits, was the height of each pillar, and, the capital thereupon was of bronze, and, the height of the capital, was three cubits, and, the lattice-work and pomegranates upon the capital round about, the whole, was of bronze; and, like these, had the second pillar, upon the lattice-work.
18 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻa Selaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, mo Sefanaia ko hono ua ʻoe taulaʻeiki, mo e kau leʻo matapā ʻe toko tolu.
And the chief of the royal executioners took Seraiah the head priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, —and the three keepers of the entrance hall;
19 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ia mei he kolo ʻae matāpule ʻe taha naʻe pule ki he kau tangata tau, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko nima ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he kolo, mo e tangata naʻe tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he kau tangata tohi ʻoe tau, ʻaia naʻe tānaki ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua, mo e kau tangata ʻe toko onongofulu ʻoe kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻi he kolo:
and, out of the city, took he one courtier who himself was set over the men of war, and five men of them who were wont to see the face of the king, who were found in the city, and the scribe—general of the army, who used to muster the people of the land, —and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the city;
20 Naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ni ʻe Nepusaletani, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila.
and Nebuzaradan, chief of the royal executioners, took them, —and brought them unto the king of Babylon, at Riblah;
21 Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Lipila ʻi he fonua ʻo Hemati. Naʻe pehē ʻae fetuku ʻae kakai Siuta ke mamaʻo mei honau fonua.
and the king of Babylon smote them and slew them in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, —and thus Judah disappeared from off their own soil.
22 Pea ko e kakai ʻoe fonua ʻaia naʻe toe ʻi he fonua ʻo Siuta, ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻe Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe fakanofo ke pule kiate kinautolu ʻa Ketalia ko e foha ʻo ʻAhikami, ko e foha ʻo Safani.
But, as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left remaining, he set over them Gedaliah, son of Ahikam son of Shaphan.
23 Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi kongakau, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau kakai, ʻo pehē kuo fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻa Ketalia ke pule ia, naʻe haʻu ai kia Ketalia ʻi Misipa, ʻio, ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Netania, mo Sohanani ko e foha ʻo Kalia, mo Selaia ko e foha ʻo Tanumeti ko e tangata Nitofa, mo Seasania ko e foha ʻoe tangata ʻo Meaka, ʻakinautolu mo ʻenau kakai.
And, when all the generals of the forces, they and the men, heard that the king of Babylon had given oversight unto Gedaliah, then came they in unto Gedaliah, at Mizpah, —even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of a Maacathite, they and their men.
24 Pea naʻe fuakava ʻa Ketalia kiate kinautolu, pea mo ʻenau kakai, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa mou manavahē ke hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ki he kakai Kalitia: nofo ʻi he fonua, pea tauhi ʻae tuʻi ʻo Papilone; pea te mou lelei ai.”
And Gedaliah sware unto them, and to their men, and said to them, Do not fear because of the servants of the Chaldeans, —dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 Ka naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono fitu ʻoe māhina, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli ko e foha ʻo Netania, ko e foha ʻo ʻIlisama ʻi he hako ʻoe tuʻi, ko ia mo e kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Ketalia, pea pekia ai ia, mo e kau Siu mo e kau Kalitia naʻe ʻiate ia ʻi Misipa.
And it came to pass, in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah a son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, —and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
26 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻae siʻi mo e lahi, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi kautau, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite; he naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai Kalitia.
Then arose all the people, both small and great, and the generals of the forces, and came into Egypt, —for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 Pea ʻi hono tolungofulu ma fitu ʻoe taʻu ʻoe nofo pōpula ʻa Sihoiakini ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe māhina, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe uofulu ma fitu ʻoe māhina, ʻi he taʻu naʻe kamata ʻene pule ʻa Ivili-Melotaki ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻa ne hiki hake ʻae ʻulu ʻo Sihoiakini ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta mei he fale fakapōpula:
And it came to pass, in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh 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 Pea naʻa ne lea ʻofa kiate ia, pea naʻa ne hiki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi ke māʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi naʻe nofo mo ia ʻi Papilone;
and he spake with him kind words, —and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon;
29 Pea naʻe fetongi hono ngaahi kofu fakafalepōpula: pea naʻe kai mā ia ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
and changed his prison garments, —and he did eat bread continually before him, all the days of his life.
30 Pea ko ʻene meʻakai naʻe tufa maʻuaipē mei he tuʻi, ko e tufakanga ki he ʻaho taki taha, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
And, as his allowance, a continual portion, was given him, from the king, the provision of a day upon its own day, —all the days of his life.
