Selemaia 52

1 Naʻe kamata pule ʻe Setikia ʻi hono uofulu ma taha taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hamutali ko e ʻofefine ʻo Selemaia mei Lipina.

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign. He reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

2 Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiakimi.

He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

3 He ko e meʻa ʻi he houhau ʻo Sihova naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ki Selūsalema mo Siuta, naʻe angatuʻu ai pe ʻa Setikia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone. Kaeʻoua ke ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao.

For through Yahweh’s anger this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

4 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē, ki Selūsalema, pea nofo atu ki ai, pea ngaohi kolo ʻo takatakai ki ai.

In the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

5 Ko ia naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma taha taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi.

So the city was besieged to the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

6 Pea ʻi hono fā māhina, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hiva ʻoe māhina, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi he kolo, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoe fonua.

In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was severe in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

7 Pea naʻe vaivai ʻae kolo, pea hola ʻae kautau kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei he kolo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻae tuʻi; pea nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ki he toafa, (lolotonga naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo ʻe he kau Kalitia.)

Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king’s garden. Now the Chaldeans were against the city all around. The men of war went toward the Arabah,

8 Ka naʻe tuli ʻae tuʻi ʻe he kau tau ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea nau maʻu ʻa Setikia ʻi he toafa ʻo Seliko; pea naʻe movetevete meiate ia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē.

but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

9 Pea naʻa nau puke ʻae tuʻi, pea ʻohake ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila ʻi he fonua ko Hamati; pea ne fakamaauʻi ia ʻi ai.

Then they took the king, and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment on him.

10 Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Setikia ʻi hono ʻao: pea ne tāmateʻi foki ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻi Lipila.

The king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

11 Pea naʻa ne kapeʻi ʻae mata ʻo Setikia; pea naʻe haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maea ukamea fihifihi, pea tataki ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Papilone, pea naʻe tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate.

He put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison until the day of his death.

12 Pea ʻi hono nima māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ko hono hongofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe haʻu ki Selūsalema ʻa Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻa ne tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone,

Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.

13 Pea naʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi; mo e fale kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe kakai ʻeiki kotoa pē, naʻa ne tutu ʻaki ʻae afi:

He burned Yahweh’s house, and the king’s house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, he burned with fire.

14 Pea naʻe maumauʻi ki lalo ʻae ʻā kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe he kau tau kotoa pē ʻoe kau Kalitia, ko kinautolu naʻe ʻi he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo.

All the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem all around.

15 Pea naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻae kakai masiva niʻihi, pea mo hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe nofo ʻi he kolo, pea mo e kakai naʻe hola ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea mo hono toe ʻoe kakai tokolahi.

Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest of the people, and the rest of the people who were left in the city, and those who fell away, who defected to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

16 Ka naʻe tuku ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva niʻihi ki he fonua ke tauhi ʻae vaine pea ko e kau tauhi ngoue.

But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vineyard keepers and farmers.

17 Pea ko e ngaahi pou palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ngaahi tuʻunga, mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe maumauʻi ʻe he kau Kalitia, pea ʻave ʻae palasa kotoa pē ki Papilone.

The Chaldeans broke the pillars of bronze that were in Yahweh’s house and the bases and the bronze sea that were in Yahweh’s house in pieces, and carried all of their bronze to Babylon.

18 Pea ko e ngaahi kulo foki, mo e ngaahi huo, mo e ngaahi helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi ipu, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ipu palasa ʻaia naʻa nau ngāue aki, naʻa nau fetuku ia.

They also took away the pots, the shovels, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.

19 Pea ko e ngaahi ipu, mo e ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi ipu siʻi, mo e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga maama, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ipu inu; ʻaia naʻe koula ʻi he koula, pea mo ia naʻe siliva ʻi he siliva, naʻe fetuku ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo.

The captain of the guard took away the cups, the fire pans, the basins, the pots, the lamp stands, the spoons, and the bowls; that which was of gold, as gold, and that which was of silver, as silver.

20 Ko e pou ʻe ua, mo e fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai lahi ʻe taha, pea mo e pulu palasa ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻaia naʻe ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakamamafa ʻae palasa ʻoe ngaahi ipu ni kotoa pē.

They took the two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that were under the bases, which King Solomon had made for Yahweh’s house. The bronze of all these vessels was without weight.

21 Pea ko e ngaahi pou, ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu ma ono; pea ko e filo naʻe takatakai ʻaki ia ko e hanga ʻe uofulu ma fā; pea ko hono matolu ko e louhiʻi ʻe fā: pea naʻe ava pe ia ʻi loto.

As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits encircled it; and its thickness was four fingers. It was hollow.

22 Pea naʻe ʻai ha ʻulu palasa ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ai; pea ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, mo e tongi fakasanisani, pea mo e pomikanite ʻoku tākai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻulu, kuo ngaohi kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae palasa. Pea ko hono ua ʻoe pou naʻe tatau mo ia pea mo hono pomikanite.

A capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital all around, all of bronze. The second pillar also had the same, with pomegranates.

23 Pea naʻe ai ʻae pomikanite ʻe hivangofulu ma ono ʻi he potu ʻe taha; pea ko hono lau kātoa ʻoe pomikanite naʻe tākai ʻaki ʻae meʻa naʻe tongi, ko e teau.

There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were one hundred on the network all around.

24 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻa Selaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea mo Sefania ko hono ua ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau leʻo matapā ʻe toko tolu:

The captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold,

25 Pea naʻe ʻave foki ʻi he kolo ʻae kau tangata talifekau ʻaia naʻe pule ki he kau tangata tau; pea mo e kau tangata ʻe toko fitu, ko kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo mo e tuʻi, naʻe ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi he kolo; mo e tangata tohi lahi ʻoe kau tau, ʻaia naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae lau ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua, mo e kau tangata ʻoe fonua ʻe toko onongofulu, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻilo ʻi loto kolo.

and out of the city he took an officer who was set over the men of war; and seven men of those who saw the king’s face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the army, who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the middle of the city.

26 Ko ia, naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Lipila ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

27 Pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Lipila ʻi he fonua ko Hamati. Naʻe pehē ʻae ʻave fakapōpula ʻo Siuta mei hono fonua.

The king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

28 Ko eni ʻae kakai naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Nepukanesa: ʻi hono fitu taʻu, ko e kau Siu ʻe toko tolu afe ma uofulu ma tolu:

This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand twenty-three Jews;

29 ‌ʻI hono hongofulu ma valu taʻu ʻo Nepukanesa naʻa ne ʻave fakapōpula mei Selūsalema ʻae toko valungeau ma tolungofulu ma ua:

in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty-two persons;

30 Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma tolu taʻu ʻo Nepukanesa naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kau Siu ʻe toko fitungeau ma toko fāngofulu ma toko nima: ko e kakai kotoa pē, ko e toko fā afe, mā toko onongeau.

in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty-five people. All the people numbered four thousand six hundred.

31 Pea ʻi hono tolungofulu ma fitu taʻu ʻoe fakapōpula ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe māhina, mo hono uofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, Ko ʻIvilimelotaki ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ʻa Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻomi ia mei he fale fakapōpula.

In the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and released him from prison.

32 Pea naʻa ne lea lelei kiate ia, pea naʻe hiki hake hono nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ke māʻolunga he nofoʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi naʻe ʻi ai mo ia ʻi Papilone.

He spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,

33 Pea naʻe fetongi hono kofu fakapōpula: pea ne kai mā maʻuaipē ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.

and changed his prison garments. Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life.

34 Pea ko ʻene meʻakai, naʻe tufa maʻuaipē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae kai kiate ia, ko e ʻinasi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate.

For his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
