2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was 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 Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through 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 Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;
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 [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.
o hamwe na gũita thakame ya andũ matehĩtie. Nĩgũkorwo nĩaiyũrĩtie Jerusalemu na thakame ya andũ matehĩtie, nake Jehova ndaigana kũmarekera.
5 And 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 And 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 all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
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 three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, 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 evil in the sight of Jehovah, 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, while his servants were besieging it.
nake Nebukadinezaru we mwene agĩũka nginya itũũra-inĩ rĩu inene, hĩndĩ ĩyo anene ake maarĩrigiicĩirie.
12 And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; 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 brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah 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, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but 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 chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led 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 valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them 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 uncle 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-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, 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 evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehoiakimu eekĩte.
20 For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, 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.
