Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1So in the ninth year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army. They encamped outside the city and built a siege wall all around it.
1Zedekiah el tuyak lainul Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylonia. Ke ma inge Nebuchadnezzar el tuku wi mwet mweun lal nukewa in mweuni acn Jerusalem ke len aksingoul ke malem aksingoul ke yac akeu ke pacl Zedekiah el leum. Elos orala nien aktuktuk lalos likin siti uh, ac musaela mwe fan raunela pot ah.
2And the city was kept under siege until King Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
2Elos kuhlusya nwe ke yac aksingoul sie ma Zedekiah el tokosra.
3By the ninth day of the fourth month, the famine in the city was so severe that the people of the land had no food.
3In len akeu ke malem akakosr ke yac sacna, ke sracl sac srakna upa ac wanginla mongo nun mwet uh,
4Then the city was breached; and though the Chaldeans had surrounded the city, all the men of war fled by night by way of the gate between the two walls near the king’s garden. They headed toward the Arabah,
4mwet Babylonia elos fukulya pot uh. Elos nwe raunela siti sac, a mwet mweun nukewa in siti uh kaingla in fong sac. Elos ut yen ima lun tokosra oan we, ac sasla ke mutunpot se ma pot luo fahsreni we, na elos kaingla ut layen nu ke Infahlfal Jordan.
5but the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was separated from him.
5Tusruktu mwet mweun Babylonia elos ukwal Tokosra Zedekiah nwe sruokilya in acn tupasrpasr apkuran nu Jericho, ac mwet mweun lal ah nukewa sisella kaingelik.
6The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, where they pronounced judgment on him.
6Utukla Tokosra Zedekiah nu yorol Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, su muta in siti Riblah, acn su Nebuchadnezzar el wotela ma ac orek nu sel.
7And they slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. Then they put out his eyes, bound him with bronze shackles, and took him to Babylon.
7Elos uniya kewa wen natul Zedekiah ye mutal, ac tipalla atronmutal, na elos kaprilya ke sein, ac usalla nu Babylon.
8On the seventh day of the fifth month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign over Babylon, Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, entered Jerusalem.
8In len akitkosr ke malem aklimekosr in yac aksingoul eu ke pacl Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el leum lun Babylonia, Nebuzaradan su mwet kasru lal tokosra ac oayapa el mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lal, el utyak nu Jerusalem.
9He burned down the house of the LORD, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem—every significant building.
9El esukak Tempul, inkul sin tokosra, ac lohm sin mwet fulat nukewa in Jerusalem,
10And the whole army of the Chaldeans under the captain of the guard broke down the walls around Jerusalem.
10ac mwet lal elos rakinya pot in siti ah.
11Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried into exile the people who remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to the king of Babylon and the rest of the population.
11Na Nebuzaradan el usla nu Babylonia mwet ma lula in siti sac, elos su usrnguk ke orekma ac oayapa elos su sifacna kaingla nu yurin mwet Babylonia.
12But the captain of the guard left behind some of the poorest of the land to tend the vineyards and fields.
12Tusruktu el filiya kutu sin mwet ma arulana sukasrup, ac sang tuh mwet inge in orekma ke ima in grape, ac imaela acn Judah.
13Moreover, the Chaldeans broke up the bronze pillars and stands and the bronze Sea in the house of the LORD, and they carried the bronze to Babylon.
13Mwet Babylonia elos kunausya sru bronze lukwa nu ke ip srisrik, ac mwe wiwa ma oan in Tempul, weang pac tacng bronze lulap sac, ac elos usla bronze inge nukewa nu Babylon.
14They also took away the pots, shovels, wick trimmers, dishes, and all the articles of bronze used in the temple service.
14Elos oayapa usla saful ac mwe neinyuk apat, ma orekmakinyuk in aknasnasye loang uh, kufwa in akwoye lam ah, ac pol mwe nein srah ma sororla ke pacl in kisa, ac pol in isis mwe keng, ac ma nukewa saya ma orekla ke bronze su orekmakinyuk in Tempul.
15The captain of the guard also took away the censers and sprinkling bowls—anything made of pure gold or fine silver.
15Elos usla nufon ma su orekla ke gold ku silver, weang pac pol srisrik ac pan ma sang us mulut firir.
16As for the two pillars, the Sea, and the movable stands that Solomon had made for the house of the LORD, the weight of the bronze from all these articles was beyond measure.
16Ma orekla ke bronze nukewa ma Tokosra Solomon el sap in orekla nu ke Tempul — sru lukwa, mwe wiwa, ac tacng lulap sac — ma inge arulana toasrla in pauniyuk.
17Each pillar was eighteen cubits tall. The bronze capital atop one pillar was three cubits high, with a network of bronze pomegranates all around. The second pillar, with its network, was similar.
17Sru lukwa ah oana sie lumah: kais soko oasr ke fit longoul itkosr fulata, wi sifen sru se ma orekla oan fac su oasr fit akosr tafu fulata, ac oasr pac yun sang rauneak sifen sru inge su orekla in luman sein pirakla, naweyuk ke fokinsak pomegranate, ac ma inge nukewa orekla ke bronze.
18The captain of the guard also took away Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the priest of second rank, and the three doorkeepers.
18Sayen ma inge, Nebuzaradan mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lun Babylonia, el usalla Mwet Tol Fulat Seraiah, ac Zephaniah su mwet tol akluo yal, ac mwet tolu pac saya su mwet kol in Tempul.
19Of those still in the city, he took a court official who had been appointed over the men of war, as well as five royal advisors. He also took the scribe of the captain of the army, who had enlisted the people of the land, and sixty men who were found in the city.
19Ac sin mwet in siti uh el usla mwet se ma tuh kol un mwet mweun, ac limekosr sin mwet kasru lun tokosra su srakna muta in siti uh, ac mwet kasru se lun mwet kol fulat su liyaung ma simla lun mwet mweun, ac mwet fulat onngoul pac saya.
20Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
20Nebuzaradan el usalosla nu yurin tokosra lun Babylonia, su oasr in siti Riblah
21There at Riblah in the land of Hamath, the king of Babylon struck them down and put them to death. So Judah was taken into exile, away from its own land.
21ke acn Hamath. Tokosra el sap in sringsring ac anwuki elos we. Ouinge met Judah elos utukla liki acn selos nu in srou.
22Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, over the people he had left behind in the land of Judah.
22Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun acn Babylon el oru Gedaliah wen natul Ahikam ac nutin natul Shaphan, elan governor lun acn Judah, ac oru elan kol mwet nukewa ma tia utukla nu Babylonia.
23When all the commanders of the armies and their men heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah as governor, they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—Ishmael son of Nethaniah, Johanan son of Kareah, Seraiah son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah son of the Maacathite, as well as their men.
23Ke mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lun Judah, ac mwet mweun lalos su tuh tiana srasrapo, elos lohng ke ma se inge, na elos som welulang Gedaliah in acn Mizpah. Mwet kol inge pa Ishmael wen natul Nethaniah, Johanan wen natul Kareah, Seraiah wen natul Tanhumeth sie mwet in siti srisrik Netophah, ac Jezaniah mwet Maacah.
24And Gedaliah took an oath before them and their men, assuring them, “Do not be afraid of the servants of the Chaldeans. Live in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you.”
24Gedaliah el fahk nu selos, “Nga fulahk nu suwos, kowos tia enenu in sangeng sin mwet kol lun mwet Babylonia. Kowos oakwuki in facl se inge ac kulansupu tokosra lun Babylonia, na ma nukewa ac fah wo nu suwos.”
25In the seventh month, however, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, who was a member of the royal family, came with ten men and struck down and killed Gedaliah, along with the Judeans and Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
25Tusruktu ke malem akitkosr in yac sac, Ishmael wen natul Nethaniah su wen natul Elishama, sie sin mwet in sou in leum uh, el us mwet singoul som nu Mizpah, onel Gedaliah nwe unilya. El oayapa uniya mwet Israel ac mwet Babylonia su welul muta in acn sac.
26Then all the people small and great, together with the commanders of the army, arose and fled to Egypt for fear of the Chaldeans.
26Na mwet Israel nukewa — mwet fulat ac mwet pusisel oana sie — weang pac mwet kol lun mwet mweun, elos fahsr liki acn we ac som nu Egypt, ke sripen sangeng lalos sin mwet Babylonia.
27On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.
27Ke yac se ma Evilmerodach el tokosrala lun Babylonia, el kulang nu sel Tokosra Jehoiachin lun acn Judah ac ikasulla liki kapir. Ma se inge sikyak ke len aklongoul itkosr ke malem aksingoul luo ke yac aktolngoul itkosr tukun utukla Jehoiachin nu in sruoh.
28And he spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and set his throne above the thrones of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
28Evilmerodach el kaskas kulang nu sel, ac akfulatyal liki tokosra nukewa su welul sruoh in acn Babylonia.
29So Jehoiachin changed out of his prison clothes, and he dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his life.
29Ouinge, filfilla nu sel Jehoiachin elan ku in ayaolla liki nuknuk in kapir lal ah, ac in welul tokosra mongo ke tepu lal ke lusenna moul lal.
30And the king provided Jehoiachin a daily portion for the rest of his life.
30Kais sie len, itukyang nu sel lupan mwe kasru ma fal in kasrel ke enenu lal, nwe ke el misa.
