¹And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.

¹ I go no, a koytaray jiiri yagganta ra, handu way, hando jirbi wayanta hane, kala Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar kaa, nga nda nga wongu jama, zama i ma wongu nda Urusalima. A n'a windi nda wongu. I na fu beeri gaabikooni yaŋ cina mo k'a windi.

²And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

² Hala Bonkoono Zedeciya jiiri way cindi fa i na kwaara windi nda wongu.

³And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

³ Handu taaca, jirbi yagganta hane hara kankam kwaara ra hal i jaŋ ŋwaari laabo borey se.

⁴And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.

⁴ Alwaato din gaa i na fune te kwaara cinaro gaa. Yahuda soojey kulu mo zuru cino ra ka gana fonda kaŋ go meyo kaŋ go garu hinka game ra din gaa ka fatta, meyo kaŋ go bonkoono kalo jarga nooya. (Amma Kaldancey wongu jama goono ga kwaara windi; i goono ga wongu nd'a.) Bonkoono mo gana Gooru Beero fonda gaa haray.

⁵And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.

⁵ Amma Kaldancey soojey na bonkoono ce banda gana k'a to Yeriko batama ra. Zedeciya soojey kulu say k'a naŋ.

⁶So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

⁶ Kal i na bonkoono di ka kond'a Babila bonkoono do Ribla ra, nga mo n'a ciiti.

⁷And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.

⁷ I na Zedeciya izey wi a jine ka Zedeciya moy looti. I n'a haw da guuru-say sisiriyaŋ ka kond'a Babila.

⁸And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:

⁸ Bonkoono Nebukadnezzar mayra jiiri way cindi yagganta, handu guwanta, hando zaari iyyanta hane, kala Nebuzaradan, batukoy jine bora, Babila bonkoono tamo kaa Urusalima.

⁹And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.

⁹ A na Rabbi windo nda bonkoono windo da Urusalima windey kulu ton. A na danji daŋ windi beerey kulu gaa.

¹⁰And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁰ Kaldancey soojey kulu mo kaŋ go batukoy jine bora banda na Urusalima birni cinarey bagu-bagu nangu kulu.

¹¹Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.

¹¹ Borey mo kaŋ cindi kwaara ra, da ngey kaŋ yaŋ fay ka ye Babila bonkoono banda, da boro buuno cindo kulu, batukoy jine bora Nebuzaradan n'i ku ka kond'ey tamtaray.

¹²But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

¹² Amma batukoy jina bora fay da alfukaarey laabo ra, i ma ciya reyzin* nya hansekoyaŋ da farkoyaŋ mo.

¹³And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

¹³ Kaldancey mo na guuru-say muuley kaŋ go Rabbi windo ra, da ganda jisiyaŋey, da guuru-say bango kaŋ go Rabbi windo ra bagu-bagu. I na guuru sayo sambu ka kond'a Babila.

¹⁴And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

¹⁴ Kusey mo, da cambey, da fitilla korfo hanseyaŋ harey, da kawrey, da guuru-say jinay kulu kaŋ i ga goy te d'a, i n'i kulu ku.

¹⁵And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

¹⁵ Danji kuyaŋ taasey da wura da nzarfu gaasey mo, batukoy jine bora n'i kulu ku.

¹⁶The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

¹⁶ Muulu hinka mo, da hari jisiyaŋ haro, da ganda sinjiyaŋ hayey, kaŋ yaŋ Suleymanu te Rabbi windo se, da guuru-say jinay, woodin yaŋ kulu tiŋay, i baa da neesiyaŋ.

¹⁷The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathed work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathed work.

¹⁷ Muulu fo kuuyaŋ kambe kar way cindi ahakku no, guuru-say tuk'ize mo go a boŋ. Tuk'izo kuuyaŋo mo, kambe kar hinza no, da taaru da garenad* tuuri ize himandiyaŋ a boŋ nangu kulu, guuru-say wane no. Muule hinkanta mo, yaadin no a bara, nga nda guuru-say taaru care banda.

¹⁸And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:

¹⁸ Batukoy jine bora na alfaga beero Seraya sambu, da Alfa Zafaniya kaŋ ga dake a gaa, da me batuko hinza mo.

¹⁹And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:

¹⁹ Birno ra mo a sambu mantaw fo kaŋ i daŋ soojey boŋ, boro gu kaŋ yaŋ ga ti bonkoono saawarekasiney, wo kaŋ yaŋ i gar kwaara ra, da bora kaŋ ga hantum batukoy jine bora se, da wongu jama arkuso, nga kaŋ ga laabo jama margu, da boro waydu laabo jama ra, kaŋ yaŋ i n'i gar kwaara ra.

²⁰And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:

²⁰ Batukoy jine bora Nebuzaradan n'i sambu ka kond'ey Babila bonkoono do Ribla ra.

²¹And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.

²¹ Kala Babila bonkoono n'i kar k'i wi Ribla ra, Hamat laabo ra. Yaadin no a konda Yahuda ka daŋ tamtaray ra d'a k'i fay da ngey laabo.

²²And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.

²² Amma borey kaŋ cindi Yahuda laabo ra sanni, ngey kaŋ yaŋ Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar naŋ, i boŋ a na Gedaliya Ahikam izo, Safan ize daŋ a m'i may.

²³And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

²³ I go no, alwaato kaŋ wongu margey jine borey kulu, ngey nda ngey borey maa baaru kaŋ Babila bonkoono na Gedaliya daŋ a ma dabari, kal i kaa Gedaliya do Mizpa ra. Ngey neeya: Isumeyla Netaniya izo, da Yohanan Kareya izo, da Seraya Tamhumet izo, Netofa boro no, da Yaazaniya Maaka boro izo, ngey nda ngey borey.

²⁴And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.

²⁴ Gedaliya mo ze ngey nda ngey borey se ka ne: «Wa si humburu Kaldancey bannyey. W'araŋ gora te laabo ra, ka Babila bonkoono gana, araŋ ga goro baani mo.»

²⁵But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.

²⁵ Amma a ciya, handu iyyanta ra, kala Isumeyla Netaniya izo, Elisama ize kaŋ ga ti fuula banda fo kaa, nga nda boro way nga banda. I na Gedaliya kar kal a bu, nga nda Yahudancey da Kaldancey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda Mizpa ra.

²⁶And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.

²⁶ Jama kulu mo, za zankey gaa ka koy albeerey gaa, da wongu margey jine borey tun ka koy Misira, zama i ga humburu Kaldancey.

²⁷And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

²⁷ I go no, Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacin tamtara jiiri waranza cindi iyyanta ra, a handu way cindi hinkanta, zaari waranka cindi iyyanta hando ra, kala Babila bonkoono Ebil-Merodak jiiri sintina ra, a na Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacin kaa kasu fuwo ra k'a beerandi.

²⁸And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;

²⁸ A na gomni sanni ci a se, a n'a koytaray karga beerandi bonkooney kulu kargey kaŋ go a banda Babila ra boŋ.

²⁹And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.

²⁹ A n'a kasu bankaarayey kaa ka barmay a se afooyaŋ. A ga ŋwa Babila bonkoono jine waati kulu kal a fundo me.

³⁰And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

³⁰ Haŋ kaŋ a ga laami kulu ga fun bonkoono do, zama bonkoono g'a no nga baa waati kulu, zaari kulu kal a jirbey me.
