Selemaia 52

1Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

1NAʻE kamata pule ʻe Setikia ʻi hono uofulu ma taha taʻu ʻo ʻene motuʻa, pea naʻa ne pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema. Pea ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Hamutali ko e ʻofefine ʻo Selemaia mei Lipina.

2And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

2Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiakimi.

3For because of the anger of the LORD things came to the point in Jerusalem and Judah that he cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

3He ko e meʻa ʻi he houhau ʻo Sihova naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ki Selūsalema mo Siuta, naʻe angatuʻu ai pe ʻa Setikia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone. Kaeʻoua ke ne kapusi ʻakinautolu mei hono ʻao.

4And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and laid siege to it. And they built siegeworks all around it.

4Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi hono hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe māhina, pea ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea mo ʻene kautau kotoa pē, ki Selūsalema, pea nofo atu ki ai, pea ngaohi kolo ʻo takatakai ki ai.

5So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.

5Ko ia naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma taha taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi.

6On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

6Pea ʻi hono fā māhina, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hiva ʻoe māhina, naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae honge ʻi he kolo, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ha meʻakai ki he kakai ʻoe fonua.

7Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled and went out from the city by night by the way of a gate between the two walls, by the king’s garden, while the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah.

7Pea naʻe vaivai ʻae kolo, pea hola ʻae kautau kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei he kolo ʻi he poʻuli, ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo ʻā, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he ngoue ʻae tuʻi; pea nau ʻalu ʻi he hala ki he toafa, (lolotonga naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo ʻe he kau Kalitia.)

8But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And all his army was scattered from him.

8Ka naʻe tuli ʻae tuʻi ʻe he kau tau ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea nau maʻu ʻa Setikia ʻi he toafa ʻo Seliko; pea naʻe movetevete meiate ia ʻa ʻene kautau kotoa pē.

9Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.

9Pea naʻa nau puke ʻae tuʻi, pea ʻohake ia ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Lipila ʻi he fonua ko Hamati; pea ne fakamaauʻi ia ʻi ai.

10The king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and also slaughtered all the officials of Judah at Riblah.

10Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo Setikia ʻi hono ʻao: pea ne tāmateʻi foki ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻi Lipila.

11He put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in chains, and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

11Pea naʻa ne kapeʻi ʻae mata ʻo Setikia; pea naʻe haʻi ʻaki ia ʻae maea ukamea fihifihi, pea tataki ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki Papilone, pea naʻe tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate.

12In the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month—that was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon—Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, who served the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.

12Pea ʻi hono nima māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ko hono hongofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, naʻe haʻu ki Selūsalema ʻa Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻaia naʻa ne tauhi ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone,

13And he burned the house of the LORD, and the king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned down.

13Pea naʻe tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e fale ʻoe tuʻi; mo e fale kotoa pē ʻi Selūsalema, pea mo e ngaahi fale ʻoe kakai ʻeiki kotoa pē, naʻa ne tutu ʻaki ʻae afi:

14And all the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls around Jerusalem.

14Pea naʻe maumauʻi ki lalo ʻae ʻa kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe he kau tau kotoa pē ʻoe kau Kalitia, ko kinautolu naʻe ʻi he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo.

15And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive some of the poorest of the people and the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, together with the rest of the artisans.

15Pea naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, ʻae kakai masiva niʻihi, pea mo hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻe nofo ʻi he kolo, pea mo e kakai naʻe hola ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea mo hono toe ʻoe kakai tokolahi.

16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

16Ka naʻe tuku ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kakai masiva niʻihi ki he fonua ke tauhi ʻae vaine pea ko e kau tauhi ngoue.

17And the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried all the bronze to Babylon.

17Pea ko e ngaahi pou palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, pea ko e ngaahi tuʻunga, mo e ngaahi ʻaiʻanga vai palasa ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova, naʻe maumauʻi ʻe he kau Kalitia, pea ʻave ʻae palasa kotoa pē ki Papilone.

18And they took away the pots and the shovels and the snuffers and the basins and the dishes for incense and all the vessels of bronze used in the temple service;

18Pea ko e ngaahi kulo foki, mo e ngaahi huo, mo e ngaahi helekosi maama, mo e ngaahi ipu, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ipu palasa ʻaia naʻa nau ngāue aki, naʻa nau fetuku ia.

19also the small bowls and the fire pans and the basins and the pots and the lampstands and the dishes for incense and the bowls for drink offerings. What was of gold the captain of the guard took away as gold, and what was of silver, as silver.

19Pea ko e ngaahi ipu, mo e ʻaiʻanga afi, mo e ngaahi ipu siʻi, mo e ngaahi kulo, mo e ngaahi tuʻunga maama, mo e ngaahi sēpuni, pea mo e ngaahi ipu inu; ʻaia naʻe koula ʻi he koula, pea mo ia naʻe siliva ʻi he siliva, naʻe fetuku ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo.

20As for the two pillars, the one sea, the twelve bronze bulls that were under the sea, and the stands, which Solomon the king had made for the house of the LORD, the bronze of all these things was beyond weight.

20Ko e pou ʻe ua, mo e fuʻu ʻaiʻanga vai lahi ʻe taha, pea mo e pulu palasa ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻaia naʻe ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Solomone ko e tuʻi ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova: pea naʻe ʻikai faʻa fakamamafa ʻae palasa ʻoe ngaahi ipu ni kotoa pē.

21As for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, its circumference was twelve cubits, and its thickness was four fingers, and it was hollow.

21Pea ko e ngaahi pou, ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe pou ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe tolungofulu ma ono; pea ko e filo naʻe takatakai ʻaki ia ko e hanga ʻe uofulu ma fā; pea ko hono matolu ko e louhiʻi ʻe fā: pea naʻe ava pe ia ʻi loto.

22On it was a capital of bronze. The height of the one capital was five cubits. A network and pomegranates, all of bronze, were around the capital. And the second pillar had the same, with pomegranates.

22Pea naʻe ʻai ha ʻulu palasa ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ai; pea ko hono māʻolunga ʻoe ʻulu ʻe taha ko e hanga ʻe hongofulu, mo e tongi fakasanisani, pea mo e pomikanite ʻoku tākai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻulu, kuo ngaohi kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae palasa. Pea ko hono ua ʻoe pou naʻe tatau mo ia pea mo hono pomikanite.

23There were ninety-six pomegranates on the sides; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network all around.

23Pea naʻe ai ʻae pomikanite ʻe hivangofulu ma ono ʻi he potu ʻe taha; pea ko hono lau kātoa ʻoe pomikanite naʻe tākai ʻaki ʻae meʻa naʻe tongi, ko e teau.

24And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold;

24Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe he ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻa Selaia ko e taulaʻeiki lahi, pea mo Sefania ko hono ua ʻoe taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau leʻo matapā ʻe toko tolu:

25and from the city he took an officer who had been in command of the men of war, and seven men of the king’s council, who were found in the city; and the secretary of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.

25Pea naʻe ʻave foki ʻi he kolo ʻae kau tangata talifekau ʻaia naʻe pule ki he kau tangata tau; pea mo e kau tangata ʻe toko fitu, ko kinautolu naʻa nau nonofo mo e tuʻi, naʻe ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi he kolo; mo e tangata tohi lahi ʻoe kau tau, ʻaia naʻe ʻaʻana ʻae lau ʻae kakai ʻoe fonua, mo e kau tangata ʻoe fonua ʻe toko onongofulu, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻilo ʻi loto kolo.

26And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

26Ko ia, naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Lipila ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone.

27And the king of Babylon struck them down, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken into exile out of its land.

27Pea naʻe teʻia ʻakinautolu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi Lipila ʻi he fonua ko Hamati. Naʻe pehē ʻae ʻave fakapōpula ʻo Siuta mei hono fonua.

28This is the number of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year, 3,023 Judeans;

28Ko eni ʻae kakai naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Nepukanesa: ʻi hono fitu taʻu, ko e kau Siu ʻe toko tolu afe ma uofulu ma tolu:

29in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem 832 persons;

29‌ʻI hono hongofulu ma valu taʻu ʻo Nepukanesa naʻa ne ʻave fakapōpula mei Selūsalema ʻae toko valungeau ma tolungofulu ma ua:

30in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Judeans 745 persons; all the persons were 4,600.

30Pea ʻi hono uofulu ma tolu taʻu ʻo Nepukanesa naʻe ʻave fakapōpula ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo ʻae kau Siu ʻe toko fitungeau ma toko fāngofulu ma toko nima: ko e kakai kotoa pē, ko e toko fā afe, mā toko onongeau.

31And in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he became king, graciously freed Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.

31Pea ʻi hono tolungofulu ma fitu taʻu ʻoe fakapōpula ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe māhina, mo hono uofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, Ko ʻIvilimelotaki ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻi hono ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, naʻa ne hakeakiʻi ʻa Sihoiakimi ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ʻomi ia mei he fale fakapōpula.

32And he spoke kindly to him, and gave him a seat above the seats of the kings who were with him in Babylon.

32Pea naʻa ne lea lelei kiate ia, pea naʻe hiki hake hono nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki ke māʻolunga he nofoʻanga ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi naʻe ʻi ai mo ia ʻi Papilone.

33So Jehoiachin put off his prison garments. And every day of his life he dined regularly at the king’s table,

33Pea naʻe fetongi hono kofu fakapōpula: pea ne kai mā maʻuaipē ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.

34and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king according to his daily need, until the day of his death, as long as he lived.

34Pea ko ʻene meʻakai, naʻe tufa maʻuaipē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Papilone ʻae kai kiate ia, ko e ʻinasi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo ʻene mate.
