2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
Hĩndĩ ya ũthamaki wa Jehoiakimu-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩtharĩkĩra bũrũri, na Jehoiakimu agĩtuĩka ndungata yake mĩaka ĩtatũ. No Jehoiakimu akĩgarũrũka, akĩremera Nebukadinezaru.
2 And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
Jehova agĩtũma mbũtũ cia gũtahana cia kuuma Babuloni, na Suriata, na Moabi, na Amoni ikahũũrane nake. Agĩcitũma ikaanange Juda, kũringana na ũrĩa kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩatariĩ, kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ ndungata ciake cia anabii.
3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
Ti-itherũ maũndũ macio meekĩkire Juda kũringana na watho wa Jehova, nĩguo ameherie moime mbere yake tondũ wa mehia ma Manase na ũrĩa wothe eekĩte,
4 And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
o hamwe na gũita thakame ya andũ matehĩtie. Nĩgũkorwo nĩaiyũrĩtie Jerusalemu na thakame ya andũ matehĩtie, nake Jehova ndaigana kũmarekera.
5 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoiakimu, na marĩa mothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Jehoiakimu akĩhurũka na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Jehoiakini agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt to the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
Mũthamaki wa Misiri ndaigana kuuma bũrũri wake rĩngĩ, tondũ mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatunyanĩte bũrũri wothe ũrĩa warĩ wa mũthamaki wa Misiri kuuma Karũũĩ ka Misiri nginya Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother’s name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Jehoiakini aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka Jerusalemu mĩeri ĩtatũ. Nyina eetagwo Nehushita mwarĩ wa Elinathani, kuuma Jerusalemu.
9 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa ithe eekĩte.
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo anene a Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni magĩũka nginya Jerusalemu, makĩrigiicĩria itũũra rĩu,
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants besieged it.
nake Nebukadinezaru we mwene agĩũka nginya itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, hĩndĩ ĩyo anene ake maarĩrigiicĩirie.
12 And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
Nake Jehoiakini mũthamaki wa Juda, na nyina, na ndungata ciake, na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta, na anene ake othe makĩĩneana kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru. Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩnana wa wathani wa Babuloni nĩguo aanyiitire Jehoiakini.
13 And he carried out from there all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
Nebukadinezaru nĩarutire mĩthiithũ yothe kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova na nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki, agĩkuua indo ciothe cia thahabu iria Solomoni mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aathondekeire hekarũ ya Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, except the poorest sort of the people of the land.
Agĩkuua andũ othe a Jerusalemu akĩmatwara ithaamĩrio: anene othe, na arũi a mbaara, na mabundi mothe, o na aturi; othe maarĩ andũ 10,000. No andũ arĩa maarĩ athĩĩni mũno a bũrũri ũcio no-o maatigirwo.
15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Nebukadinezaru agĩtwara Jehoiakini arĩ mũgwate nginya Babuloni. Ningĩ agĩcooka agĩkuua nyina wa mũthamaki kuuma Jerusalemu nginya Babuloni, na atumia ake, na anene ake, o na atongoria ake a bũrũri.
16 And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
Ningĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni agĩthaamĩria mbũtũ yothe ya ita nginya Babuloni; ita rĩothe rĩa andũ 7,000 arĩa arũi, na me hinya na mangĩhota kũrũa, na mabundi na aturi 1,000.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father’s brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Agĩcooka agĩtua Matania, mama-we wa Jehoiakini, mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na akĩgarũra rĩĩtwa rĩake, akĩmũtua Zedekia.
18 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Zedekia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Hamutali mwarĩ wa Jeremia, na oimĩte Libina.
19 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehoiakimu eekĩte.
20 For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Maũndũ macio mothe meekirwo Jerusalemu na Juda nĩ tondũ wa marakara ma Jehova, na mũthia-inĩ akĩmaingata mehere mbere yake. Nake Zedekia akĩremera mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
