¹And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built turrets against it round about.

¹Ary tamin'ny andro fahafolo tamin'ny volana fahafolo tamin'ny taona fahasivy nanjakan'i Zedekia dia tonga Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, sy ny miaramilany rehetra hamely an'i Jerosalema indray ka nitoby tandrifiny; ary nanao tilikambo manodidina azy izy.

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

²Ary nataony fahirano ny tanàna hatramin'ny taona fahiraika ambin'ny folo nanjakan'i Zedekia mpanjaka.

³On the ninth of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

³Ary tamin'ny andro fahasivy tamin'ny volana fahefatra dia mafy ny mosary tao an-tanàna, fa tsy nisy hanina ho an'ny olona tompon-tany.

⁴And the city was broken into; and all the men of war [fled] by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which [leads] to the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.

⁴Ary nisy voabanga ny tanana, dia nandositra alina ny miaramila rehetra tamin'ny lalana nankamin'ny vavahady tanelanelan'ny manda roa, izay eo anilan'ny sahan'ny mpanjaka (fa ny Kaldeana nanodidina ny tanàna), ary ny mpanjaka nandeha tamin'ny lalana mankeny amin'ny tani-hay.[Heb. Arabà]

⁵And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

⁵Ary ny miaramilan'ny Kaldeana nanenjika ny mpanjaka ka nahatratra azy teny amin'ny tani-hay any Jeriko; dia nipariaka nandao azy ny miaramilany rehetra.

⁶And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon unto Riblah; and they pronounced judgment upon him,

⁶Ary voasambotra ny mpanjaka ka nentina niakatra ho any amin'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona tao Ribla, ka dia notsaraina tao izy.

⁷and slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.

⁷Ary ny zanakalahin'i Zedekia dia novonoiny teo imason-drainy, ary ny mason'i Zedekia kosa nopotsiriny, dia nafatony tamin'ny gadra varahina izy ka nentiny nankany Babylona.

⁸And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, servant of the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;

⁸Ary tamin'ny andro fahafito tamin'ny volana fahadimy tamin'ny taona fahasivy ambin'ny folo nanjakan'i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona dia tonga tany Jerosalema Nebozaradana, lehiben'ny mpiambina, mpanompon'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona,

⁹and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.

⁹ka nandoro ny tranon'i Jehovah sy ny tranon'ny mpanjaka mbamin'ny trano rehetra tany Jerosalema: ny trano lehibe rehetra dia nodorany tamin'ny afo avokoa.

¹⁰And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the body-guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁰Ary ny manda manodidina an'i Jerosalema dia noravan'ny miaramilan'ny Kaldeana rehetra, izay nanaraka ny lehiben'ny mpiambina.

¹¹And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

¹¹Ary izay olona sisa tao an-tanana sy izay efa nandositra nanatona ny mpanjakan'i Babylona ary ny vahoaka betsaka sisa dia nentin'i Neborazadana, lehiben'ny mpiambina, ho babo avokoa.

¹²But the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and husbandmen.

¹²Nefa ny olona malahelo dia nisy navelany ihany ho mpamboatra tanim-boaloboka sy ho mpiasa tany.

¹³And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass thereof to Babylon.

¹³Ary ireo andry varahina teo an-tranon'i Jehovah sy ny fitoeran-tavin-drano sy ny tavin-drano varahina lehibe izay teo an-tranon'i Jehovah dia notorotoroin'ny Kaldeana, ka nentiny ho any Babylona ny varahina.[Heb. ny ranomasina]

¹⁴The cauldrons also and the shovels and the knives and the cups, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, they took away.

¹⁴Ary nentiny koa ny vilany fandraofan-davenona sy ny sotron'afo sy ny antsy sy ny lovia kely ary ny fanaka varahina rehetra izay nenti-nanao fanompoam-pivavahana.

¹⁵And the censers and the bowls, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.

¹⁵Ary nentiny koa ny fitoeran-davenon-jiro sy ny lovia famafazana na ny volamena na ny volafotsy dia samy nentiny avokoa

¹⁶The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.

¹⁶ary ny andry roa sy ny tavin-drano lehibe iray ary ireo fitoeran-tavin-drano, izay nataon'i Solomona ho amin'ny tranon'i Jehovah; ny varahina tamin'izany fanaka rehetra izany dia tsy hita lanja.

¹⁷The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the capital three cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass: and similarly for the second pillar with the network.

¹⁷Valo ambin'ny folo hakiho ny hahavon'ny andry iray, ary varahina ny kapitaliny sady telo hakiho ny hahavony; ary varahina avokoa ny harato sy ny ampongabendanitra amin'ny kapitaliny manodidina; ary tahaka izany koa ny andry faharoa mbamin'ny harato.

¹⁸And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the high priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.

¹⁸Ary ny lehiben'ny mpiambina nisambotra an'i Seraia mpisoronabe sy zefania, mpisorona manarakaraka, ary mpiandry varavarana koa telo lahy;

¹⁹And out of the city he took a chamberlain that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city.

¹⁹ary tao an-tanàna no nisamborany ny tandapa anankiray, mpifehy ny miaramila, ary dimy lahy tamin'izay mpitoetra teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka, izay hita tao an-tanàna, ary ny mpanoratry ny komandin'ny miaramila, izay mpandamina ny ho miaramila, sy ny olona tompon-tany enim-polo lahy, izay hitany tao an-tanàna;

²⁰And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;

²⁰dia nosamborin'i Nebozaradana, lehiben'ny mpiambina, ireo ka nentiny ho any amin'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona tao Ribla.

²¹and the king of Babylon smote them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

²¹Dia novonoin'ny mpanjakan'i Babylona tao Ribla any amin'ny tany Hamata ireo. Toy izany no nitondrana ny Joda ho babo niala tamin'ny taniny.

²²And [as for] the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left behind, over them he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.

²²Fa ny amin'ny olona izay sisa tany amin'ny tanin'ny Joda, izay navelan'i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, dia Gedalia, zanak'i Ahikama, zanak'i Safana, no notendreny ho mpanapaka azy.

²³And all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, and they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, namely, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.

²³Ary nony ren'ny komandin'ny miaramila rehetra mbamin'ny olom-peheziny avy fa Gedalia no notendren'i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, ho mpanapaka, dia nankany amin'i Gedalia tany Mizpa Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, sy Johanana, zanak'i Karea, sy Seraia, zanak'i Tanometa Netofatita, ary Jazania, zanak'ilay Makatita, dia ireo sy ny olom-peheziny avy.

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

²⁴Ary Gedalia nianiana taminy sy tamin'ny olom-peheziny ka nanao hoe: Aza matahotra ny amin'ny mpanompon'ny Kaldeana, fa mitomoera amin'ny tany, ary manompoa ny mpanjakan'i Babylona, fa izany no hahasoa anareo.

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

²⁵Ary tamin'ny volana fahafito, dia avy Isimaela, zanak'i Netania, zanak'i Elisama, isan'ny fianakavian'ny mpanjaka, mbamin'ny olona folo lahy koa ka namely an'i Gedalia, dia nahafaty azy sy ny Jiosy ary ny Kaldeana izay tao aminy tany Mizpa.

²⁶And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Ary niainga ny olona rehetra, na kely na lehibe, mbamin'ny komandin'ny miaramila, nankany Egypta, fa natahotra ny Kaldeana izy.

²⁷And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

²⁷Ary tamin'ny andro fahafito amby roa-polo tamin'ny volana faharoa ambin'ny folo tamin'ny taona fahafito amby telo-polo taorian'ny namaboana an'i Joiakina, mpanjakan'ny Joda, tamin'ny taona vao nanjakan'i Evila-merodaka, mpanjakan'i Babylona, dia nasandrany hiala tao an-trano-maizina Joiakina, mpanjakan'ny Joda.[Heb. nasandratra ny lohany]

²⁸and he spoke kindly to him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.

²⁸Dia nitenenany soa izy, ka ny seza fiandrianany nataony ambony noho ny seza fiandrianan'ireo mpanjaka namany tao Babylona.

²⁹And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;

²⁹Ka dia novan'i Joiakina ny fitafiany fony mbola tao an-trano-maizina; ary nihinan-kanina teo anatrehany mandrakariva izy tamin'ny andro niainany rehetra.Ary ny hanina nohaniny dia hanina nomena avy amin'ny mpanjaka araka ny tokony ho anjarany isan'andro isan'andro tamin'ny andro rehetra niainany.

³⁰and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.

³⁰Ary ny hanina nohaniny dia hanina nomena avy amin'ny mpanjaka araka ny tokony ho anjarany isan'andro isan'andro tamin'ny andro rehetra niainany.
