2 Kings 25
1 Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.
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.
2 And the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
Pea naʻe kāpui ʻae kolo ʻaki ʻae tau ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻoe tuʻi ko Setikia.
3 Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
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.
4 So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.
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.
5 But the Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
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.
6 And they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah to be judged.
Ko ia naʻa nau puke ʻae tuʻi, mo ʻohake ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi Lipila; pea naʻa nau fakamaauʻi ia.
7 And they put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes, and then they put out his eyes, and chaining him with iron bands, took him to Babylon.
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.
8 Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;
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.
9 And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;
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.
10 And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
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.
11 And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;
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.
12 But he let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.
Ka naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva ʻoe fonua ke nau tauhi ngoue vaine, mo tō ngoue.
13 And the brass pillars in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases, and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took the brass to Babylon.
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.
14 And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
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.
15 And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.
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.
16 The two pillars, the great water-vessel and the wheeled bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
17 One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
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.
18 And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
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.
19 And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and five of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
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:
20 These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
Naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ni ʻe Nepusaletani, ko e ʻeiki pule ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila.
21 And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken away prisoner from his land.
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.
22 As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.
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.
23 Now the captains of the armed forces, hearing that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah ruler, came with their men to Gedaliah at Mizpah; Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of the Maacathite, came with all their men.
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.
24 Then Gedaliah gave his oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear because of the servants of the Chaldaeans; go on living in the land under the rule of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.
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.”
25 But in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, came with ten men and made an attack on Gedaliah, causing his death and the death of the Jews and the Chaldaeans who were with him at Mizpah.
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.
26 Then all the people, small and great, and the captains of the forces, got up and went away to Egypt, for fear of the Chaldaeans.
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.
27 And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year of his rule, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison;
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:
28 And said kind words to him, and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
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;
29 And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.
Pea naʻe fetongi hono ngaahi kofu fakafalepōpula: pea naʻe kai mā ia ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
30 And for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day for the rest of his life.
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.
