¹In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.

¹ A jirbey ra no Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar kaa. Yehoyacim mo ciya a se tam hala jiiri hinza. Kokor banda a bare ka murte a gaa.

²And Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets.

² Rabbi mo na Kaldancey soojeyaŋ da Mowabancey da Amonancey da Suriyancey wane yaŋ donton i ma wongu nda Yahuda, i m'a halaci Rabbi sanno kaŋ a ci nga tam annabey me ra din boŋ.

³Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;

³ Haciika, Rabbi lordi boŋ no woodin kulu kaŋ Yahuda boŋ, zama a m'i ganandi nga jine, Manasse zunubey kulu kaŋ a te sabbay se,

⁴and also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.

⁴ kuri kaŋ sinda taali kaŋ a mun sabbay se mo. Za kaŋ a na Urusalima toonandi nda kuri kaŋ sinda taali, a se no Rabbi mo wangu k'a yaafa.

⁵And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁵ Yehoyacim goy cindey mo, da haŋ kaŋ a te kulu, manti i n'i hantum Yahuda bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?

⁶And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

⁶ Yehoyacim kani nga kaayey banda. A izo Yehoyacin mo te bonkooni a nango ra.

⁷And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

⁷ Misira bonkoono mana ye ka fatta nga laabo ra mo, zama Babila bonkoono na haŋ kaŋ ga ti Misira bonkoono wane kulu ŋwa, za Misira gooro gaa ka koy hala Ufratis isa gaa.

⁸Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

⁸ Yehoyacin gonda jiiri way cindi ahakku waato kaŋ a sintin ka may. A may mo handu hinza Urusalima ra. A nyaŋo maa Nehusata, El-Natan ize wayo, Urusalima boro no.

⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.

⁹ A na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa a baaba teera kulu kaŋ a te boŋ.

¹⁰At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

¹⁰ Alwaato din ra no Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar soojey kaa Urusalima ka kwaara windi nda wongu.

¹¹And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.

¹¹ Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar mo kaa kwaara do waato kaŋ a soojey go a windanta.

¹²And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

¹² Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacin mo fatta ka koy Babila bonkoono do, nga nda nga nyaŋo da nga tamey da nga kwaara koy kayney, da nga mantawey. Babila bonkoono mo n'a di, a koytara jiiri ahakkanta ra.

¹³And he brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.

¹³ A na jinay darzantey kulu ku mo, Rabbi windo waney, da bonkoono windo waney, k'i kaa noodin ka kond'ey. A na wura jinay kulu beeri-beeri, nga kaŋ Israyla bonkoono Suleymanu te Rabbi fuwo ra, sanda mate kaŋ Rabbi ci.

¹⁴And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land.

¹⁴ A na Urusalima nda kwaara koy kayney da soojey kulu di, boro zambar way no, kaŋ yaŋ a di, da kambe goy-teerey, da zamey kulu. A dira nd'ey. Baa afo mana cindi laabo ra, kala day alfukaarey hinne.

¹⁵And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;

¹⁵ A na Yehoyacin mo sambu ka kond'a Babila, da bonkoono nyaŋo, da bonkoono wandey d'a mantawey da laabo boro beerey. A fun d'ey Urusalima ra ka kond'ey Babila ka daŋ tamtaray.

¹⁶and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.

¹⁶ Boro gaabikooney kulu mo, boro zambar iyye no, da kambe goy-teerey kaŋ gonda gonitaray, da zamey -- boro zambar fo, da gaabikooney kulu kaŋ ga waani wongu, ngey mo Babila bonkoono kond'ey tamtaray ka koy Babila.

¹⁷And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

¹⁷ Babila bonkoono mo na Mattaniya, bonkoono baaba kayne, sambu k'a didiji bonkooni a nango ra. A n'a maa barmay ka daŋ Zedeciya.

¹⁸Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹⁸ Zedeciya gonda jiiri waranka cindi fo alwaato kaŋ a sintin ka may. A may mo jiiri way cindi fo Urusalima ra. A nyaŋo maa Hamutal, Irimiya ize wayo, Libna boro no.

¹⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

¹⁹ A na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, kaŋ ga saba nda hay kulu kaŋ Yehoyacim te.

²⁰For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

²⁰ Zama Rabbi futa do no haya din te Urusalima nda Yahuda ra, hal a n'i furu ka ganandi nga jine. Zedeciya mo murte Babila bonkoono gaa.
