2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and they appointed him king in place of his father, in Jerusalem.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a bũrũri ũcio makĩoya Jehoahazu mũriũ wa Josia, makĩmũtua mũthamaki kũu Jerusalemu ithenya rĩa ithe.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem.
Jehoahazu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩeri ĩtatũ.
3 Then the king of Egypt, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, removed him, and condemned the land to one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
Mũthamaki wa Misiri akĩmweheria ũthamaki-inĩ kũu Jerusalemu na agĩtuĩra Juda igooti rĩa taranda igana rĩmwe cia betha, na taranda ĩmwe ya thahabu.
4 And he appointed Eliakim, his brother, as king in his place, over Judah and Jerusalem. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Truly, he took Jehoahaz with him, and he led him away to Egypt.
Mũthamaki wa Misiri agĩtua Eliakimu, mũrũ wa ithe na Jehoahazu, mũthamaki wa gũthamaka Juda na Jerusalemu, na akĩgarũra rĩĩtwa rĩa Eliakimu akĩmũtua Jehoiakimu. No Neko agĩthaamia Jehoahazu mũrũ wa ithe na Jehoiakimu akĩmũtwara Misiri.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil before the Lord his God.
Jehoiakimu aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe. Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wake.
6 Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Chaldeans, ascended against him, and led him bound in chains to Babylon.
Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni akĩmũtharĩkĩra, na akĩmuoha na mĩnyororo ya gĩcango akĩmũtwara Babuloni.
7 And to there, he also took away the vessels of the Lord, and he placed them in his temple.
Nebukadinezaru ningĩ nĩatwarire indo cia hekarũ ya Jehova kũu Babuloni na agĩciiga thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yake kuo.
8 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he worked, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then his son, Jehoiachin, reigned in his place.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoiakimu, na maũndũ ma magigi marĩa eekire, na maũndũ marĩa mothe oonirwo ahĩtĩtie-rĩ, maandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa athamaki a Isiraeli na a Juda. Nake mũriũ Jehoiakini agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
Jehoiakini aarĩ wa mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩeri ĩtatũ na mĩthenya ikũmi. Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
10 And when the course of a year had turned, king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, carrying away, at the same time, the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord. Truly, he appointed his uncle, Zedekiah, as king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Ihinda rĩa mahaanda-rĩ, Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru akĩmũtũmanĩra, akĩrehwo Babuloni hamwe na indo cia goro kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, nake agĩtua Zedekia, ithe mũnini wa Jehoiakini, mũthamaki wa gũthamaka Juda na Jerusalemu.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem.
Zedekia aarĩ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ũmwe rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, nake agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ikũmi na ũmwe.
12 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. And he did not show remorse before the face of the prophet Jeremiah, who was speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wake, na ndaigana kwĩnyiihia mbere ya Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii, ũrĩa waaragia kiugo kĩa Jehova.
13 Also, he withdrew from king Nebuchadnezzar, who had bound him by an oath to God, and he hardened his own neck and his own heart, so that he did not return to the Lord, the God of Israel.
O na ningĩ nĩaremeire Mũthamaki Nebukadinezaru, o ũrĩa wamwĩhĩtithĩtie na mwĩhĩtwa akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai. Akĩũmia kĩongo na akĩũmia ngoro yake, na ndaigana gũcookerera Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli.
14 Then too, all the leaders of the priests, with the people, transgressed iniquitously, in accord with all the abominations of the Gentiles. And they polluted the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
O na ningĩ-rĩ, atongoria othe a athĩnjĩri-Ngai na andũ nĩmathiire na mbere kwaga wĩhokeku, makĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo ĩrĩ magigi ya ndũrĩrĩ, na magathaahagia hekarũ ya Jehova ĩrĩa aamũrĩte kũu Jerusalemu.
15 Then the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising in the night and daily admonishing them. For he was lenient to his people and to his habitation.
Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao, akĩmatũmĩra ndũmĩrĩri na tũnua twa atũmwo ake rĩngĩ na rĩngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩaiguagĩra andũ ake tha, o na gĩikaro gĩake.
16 But they ridiculed the messengers of God, and they gave little weight to his words, and they mocked the prophets, until the fury of the Lord ascended against his people, and there was no remedy.
No-o makĩnyũrũria andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ Ngai, makĩmenereria ciugo ciake, na makĩnyarara anabii ake, o nginya marakara ma Jehova makĩarahũkĩra andũ ake na gũkĩaga kĩhonia.
17 For he led over them the king of the Chaldeans. And he put to death their young men by the sword, in the house of his sanctuary. There was no pity for adolescents, nor virgins, nor the elderly, nor even for the disabled. Instead, he delivered them all into his hands.
Akĩmarehithĩria mũthamaki wa andũ a Babuloni amokĩrĩre, ũrĩa woragĩire andũ ao ethĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora kũu nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa nyamũre, na ndaigana kũhonokia mwanake, kana mũirĩtu, kana mũndũ mũkũrũ, o na kana ũrĩa mũkũrũ akahocerera. Ngai akĩneana andũ acio othe kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru.
18 And all the vessels of the house of Lord, as much the greater as the lesser, and the treasures of the temple, and of the king and the rulers, he carried away to Babylon.
Agĩkuua indo kuuma hekarũ-inĩ ya Ngai, agĩcitwara Babuloni, ciothe iria nene na iria nini, na igĩĩna cia hekarũ ya Jehova, o na igĩĩna cia mũthamaki o na cia anene ake.
19 The enemies set fire to the house of God, and they destroyed the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the towers. And whatever was precious, they demolished.
Ningĩ magĩcina hekarũ ya Ngai na makĩmomora rũthingo rwa Jerusalemu; magĩcina nyũmba ciothe cia ũthamaki, o na makĩananga indo ciothe cia bata iria ciarĩ kuo.
20 If anyone had escaped from the sword, he was led into Babylon. And he served the king and his sons, until the king of Persia would command,
Matigari ma andũ arĩa maahonokire kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, Nebukadinezaru akĩmatwara Babuloni, nao magĩtuĩka ndungata ciake na cia ariũ ake, o nginya rĩrĩa ũthamaki wa Perisia wacookire gũthamaka.
21 and the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled, and the land would celebrate her Sabbaths. For during all the days of the desolation, she kept a Sabbath, until the seventy years were completed.
Bũrũri ũgĩkĩgĩa na ũhurũko wa Thabatũ ciaguo; ũkĩhurũka hĩndĩ ĩyo yothe wakirĩte ihooru, nginya mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja ĩgĩthira, nĩguo kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Jeremia kĩhiinge.
22 Then, in the first year of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, who commanded this to be proclaimed throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
Mwaka wa mbere wa Kurusu mũthamaki wa Perisia, nĩguo kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩa kĩarĩtio nĩ Jeremia kĩhiinge-rĩ, Jehova akĩarahũra ngoro ya Kurusu mũthamaki wa Perisia aanĩrĩrithie kũrĩa guothe aathamakaga, na andĩke atĩrĩ:
23 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he has instructed me that I should build for him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. Who among you is from his entire people? May the Lord his God be with him, and let him ascend.”
“Kurusu, mũthamaki wa Perisia, oiga ũũ, “‘Jehova, Ngai wa igũrũ, nĩaheete mothamaki mothe ma thĩ, na nĩanyamũrĩte ndĩmwakĩre hekarũ kũu Jerusalemu bũrũri wa Juda. Mũndũ wake o na ũrĩkũ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wanyu, Jehova Ngai wake aroikara hamwe nake, rĩu no aambate athiĩ kuo.’”
