Luo Tokosra 24

1 Ke pacl se Jehoiakim el tokosra, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el utyak ac mweuni acn Judah. Akkohsyeyuk Jehoiakim, ac el muta ye oakwuk lal Nebuchadnezzar ke yac tolu, na toko el tuyak lainul.

In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.

2 LEUM GOD El supwala un mwet lokoalok su us mwe anwuk liki acn Babylonia, Syria, Moab, ac Ammon in lainul Jehoiakim, ac in kunausla acn Judah, oana El tuh fahkak nu sin mwet palu, mwet kulansap lal, mu El ac oru.

The LORD sent against him bands of the Kasdim, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke by his servants the prophets.

3 Ma inge orekla ke sap lun LEUM GOD, tuh Elan lusla mwet Judah liki ye mutal ke sripen ma koluk nukewa su Tokosra Manasseh el tuh oru,

Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,

4 ac yokna ke sripen mwet wangin mwata nukewa ma el tuh uniya. LEUM GOD El tia ku in nunak munas nu sel Manasseh ke ma inge.

and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.

5 Ma nukewa ma Jehoiakim el orala simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah.]

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

6 Jehoiakim el misa, ac Jehoiachin wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.

So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

7 Tokosra lun Egypt ac un mwet mweun lal tia sifilpa illa liki acn Egypt, mweyen tokosra Babylonia pa leumi acn nukewa su tuh oan ye Egypt meet, tuku e ke Infacl Euphrates lac nwe ke masrol lun Egypt nu epang.

The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.

8 Jehoiachin el yac singoul oalkosr ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke malem tolu. Nina kial pa Nehushta acn natul Elnathan, sie mwet Jerusalem.

Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

9 Jehoiachin el fahsr tukun ouiya lun papa tumal, ac oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD.

He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his father had done.

10 Ke pacl in leum lal ah, mwet kol fulat lal Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar elos us un mwet mweun lun Babylonia som in lain acn Jerusalem ac kuhlusya siti uh.

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

11 Ke pacl se elos kuhlusya acn we, Nebuchadnezzar sifacna el tuku nu Jerusalem,

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,

12 ac Tokosra Jehoiachin ac nina kial, tulik natul, mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet fulat inkul sin tokosra, elos srasrapo nu sin mwet Babylonia. In yac akoalkosr ke pacl in leum lal Nebuchadnezzar, el usalla Jehoiachin elan mwet sruoh.

and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.

13 El usla mwe kasrup nukewa in Tempul ac in lohm sin tokosra nu Babylon, ac el fukulya nufon ahlu gold su Tokosra Solomon el tuh orala in orekmakinyuk in Tempul, oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahkak meet.

He carried out from there all the treasures of the LORD’s house 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 LORD’s temple, as the LORD had said.

14 Nebuchadnezzar el usla nu in sruoh fisrak nukewa, mwet kol nukewa, mwet usrnguk ke orekma, weang pac mwet orekma ke osra — mwet singoul tausin nufon sin mwet Jerusalem pa el usla uh. Mwet sukasrup mukena pa lula in acn Judah.

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 the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.

15 Nebuchadnezzar el usalla Jehoiachin mwet sruoh nu Babylon, wi pac nina kial, mutan nukewa kial, mwet pwapa lal, ac mwet fulat lun Judah.

He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

16 Nebuchadnezzar el usla mwet yohk sripa nukewa lun Judah nu Babylonia — mwet itkosr tausin nufon — ac sie tausin mwet usrnguk ke orekma weang mwet orekma ke osra, ac mwet inge nukewa mwet na fas mano, wo nu ke mweun.

All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

17 Nebuchadnezzar el sraklalak Mattaniah, su ac papa se tumal Jehoiachin, elan tokosra lun Judah, ac el ekulla inel nu ke Zedekiah.

The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

18 Zedekiah el yac longoul sie ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem yac singoul sie. Nina kial pa Hamutal acn natul Jeremiah, su sie mwet in siti Libnah.

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

19 Tokosra Zedekiah el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, oana ma Tokosra Jehoiakim el oru.

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

20 LEUM GOD El arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet Jerusalem ac Judah, pwanang El luselosla liki ye mutal.

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