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.
1Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2Pea naʻa ne fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo hangē ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihoiakimi.
2And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
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.
3For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until He had cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
4¶ Pea 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.
4And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.
5Ko ia naʻe takatakai ʻae kolo ʻo aʻu ki hono hongofulu ma taha taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa Setikia ko e tuʻi.
5So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
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.
6In the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
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.)
7Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden — now the Chaldeans were against the city round about — and they went by the way of the Arabah.
8¶ Ka 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.
8But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from 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.
9Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him.
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.
10And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
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.
11And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
12¶ Pea 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,
12Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem;
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:
13and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burned he with fire.
14Pea naʻe maumauʻi ki lalo ʻae ʻā 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.
14And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
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.
15Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude.
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.
16But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
17¶ Pea 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.
17And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
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.
18The pots also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
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.
19And the cups, and the fire-pans, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the pans, and the bowls — that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver — the captain of the guard took away.
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.
20The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of the LORD — the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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.
21And as for the pillars, the height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers; it was hollow.
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.
22And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.
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.
23And there were ninety and six pomegranates on the outside; all the pomegranates were a hundred upon the network round about.
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:
24And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;
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.
25and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and seven men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
26Ko ia, naʻe ʻave ʻakinautolu ʻe Nepusaatani ko e ʻeiki ʻoe kau leʻo, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki Lipila ki he tuʻi ʻo Papilone.
26And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
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.
27And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
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:
28This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty;
29ʻI hono hongofulu ma valu taʻu ʻo Nepukanesa naʻa ne ʻave fakapōpula mei Selūsalema ʻae toko valungeau ma tolungofulu ma ua:
29in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar, from Jerusalem, eight hundred thirty and two persons;
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.
30in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons; all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
31¶ Pea 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.
31And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison.
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.
32And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
33Pea naʻe fetongi hono kofu fakapōpula: pea ne kai mā maʻuaipē ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui.
33And he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.
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.
34And for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
