¹Zedekiah 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.

¹ Zedeciya gonda jiiri waranka cindi fo waato kaŋ a te bonkooni, a may mo jiiri way cindi fo Urusalima ra. A nya maa ga ti Hamutal, Irimiya Libna boro ize way no.

²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

² A na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, kaŋ ga saba nda haŋ kaŋ Yehoyacim te.

³For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

³ Zama Rabbi futa _kaŋ a te|_ Urusalima da Yahuda ra sabbay se no Zedeciya murte Babila bonkoono gaa, hala Rabbi n'i furu k'i ganandi ka kaa nga jine.

⁴And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem; and they encamped against it, and built turrets against it round about.

⁴ A ciya binde, a mayra jiiri yagganta, handu wayanta, hando jirbi waya hane, kala Nebukadnezzar Babila bonkoono kaa, nga nda nga wongu marga kulu, zama nga ma Urusalima wongu se. A na wongu sinji a se. A na wongu guyaŋ tulluwa k'a windi nda woodin yaŋ.

⁵And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

⁵ Yaadin cine no a na gallo windi nda wongu kal a to bonkoono Zedeciya koytara jiiri way cindi fa gaa.

⁶In the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

⁶ Handu taacanta ra, hando jirbi yagganta, hara kankam gallo ra, hal i jaŋ haŋ kaŋ laab'izey ga ŋwa.

⁷And the city was broken into: 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 near the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.

⁷ Waato din gaa wongu na gallo birni cinaro fun. Soojey kulu binde soobay ka zuru ka fatta gallo ra cino ra, meyo kaŋ go cinari hinka game ra fonda gaa, wo kaŋ ga maan bonkoono kalo nooya. (Kaldancey binde go ga gallo windi nda wongu). I gana Gooru Beero fonda gaa haray.

⁸And 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.

⁸ Amma Kaldancey wongu marga na bonkoono gana ka Zedeciya to Yeriko batamey ra. A wongu marga jin ka say k'a naŋ.

⁹And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him.

⁹ Babila soojey na bonkoono di. I ziji nd'a ka kond'a Babila bonkoono do Ribla ra, Hamat laabo ra. Noodin mo no a na ciiti dumbu a se.

¹⁰And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

¹⁰ Babila bonkoono na Zedeciya izey wi a jine, a na Yahuda mayraykoyey kulu mo wi noodin Ribla.

¹¹And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

¹¹ A na Zedeciya moy looti. Babila bonkoono n'a haw da guuru-say sisiriyaŋ ka kond'a Babila. Noodin a n'a daŋ kasu windo ra kal a buuyaŋo hane.

¹²And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;

¹² I go no, handu guwanta, hando jirbi wayanta, kaŋ ga ti Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar koytara jiiri way cindi yagganta, kala batukoy jine bora Nebuzaradan, kaŋ ga goy Babila bonkoono se kaa Urusalima.

¹³and 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.

¹³ A na Rabbi windo da bonkoono windo ton. Urusalima windey kulu, hala nda boro beerey windey kulu, a n'i ton da danji.

¹⁴And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the body-guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

¹⁴ Kaldancey soojey kulu kaŋ go batukoy jine bora banda binde na Urusalima birni cinarey kulu kaŋ goono ga Urusalima windi din zeeri.

¹⁵And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and 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.

¹⁵ Waato din gaa batukoy jine bora Nebuzaradan na alfukaaru fooyaŋ ku, ka kond'ey ka daŋ tamtaray, ngey da boro jarey kaŋ cindi gallo ra, da borey kaŋ jin ka bare ka ye Babila bonkoono do haray, da kambe goy-teerey kaŋ cindi.

¹⁶But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

¹⁶ Amma batukoy jine bora Nebuzaradan na alfukaaru fooyaŋ cindi noodin laabo ra, i ma ciya reyzin* kali hansekoyaŋ da alfariyaŋ.

¹⁷And 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 up, and carried all the brass thereof to Babylon.

¹⁷ Guuru-say muuley da guuru-say bango da taasa kanjekoyey kaŋ go Rabbi windo ra din, Kaldancey n'i bagu-bagu. I n'i guuru-sayey kulu sambu ka kond'ey Babila.

¹⁸The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away.

¹⁸ Kusey, da fisi kuyaŋ harey, da haabuyaŋ harey, da taasey, da kawrey, da guuru-say jinayey kulu kaŋ yaŋ i ga saajaw goy te d'a, ngey mo i n'i kulu ku.

¹⁹And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.

¹⁹ Gaasiyey, da kusey kaŋ ra i ga danji daŋ, da taasey, da hinayaŋ kusey, da fitilley, da kawrey, da cambey, hay kulu kaŋ ga ti wura wane da nzarfu wane, batukoy jine bora n'i sambu.

²⁰The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.

²⁰ Muulu hinka da nyumayyaŋ bangu fo, da haw yaaru himandi way cindi hinka, guuru-say wane yaŋ kaŋ go bango cire, kaŋ yaŋ bonkoono Suleymanu te Rabbi windo se -- jinayey din kulu, boro kulu s'i guuru-sayo tiŋa bay.

²¹And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

²¹ Muuley sanni mo, i afo kulu kuuyaŋ kambe kar way cindi ahakku no, a windanta mo kambe kar way cindi hinka no. A wargayaŋo mo kambayze taaci wane cine no, a gonda funay.

²²And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital [was] five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates.

²² Guuru-say tuk'ize mo go a boŋ. Tuk'ize fo kulu kuuyaŋ kambe kar gu no, da taaru, da garenad* yaŋ ga sasare ka windi tuk'ize fo kulu gaa, i kulu mo guuru-say yaŋ no. Muulu hinkanta mo gonda i dumi yaŋ, da garenadyaŋ.

²³And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the [four] sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.

²³ Garenad wayga cindi iddu go a kambey gaa. Garenadey kulu, ngey boro zangu no ka bara taaro kaŋ goono g'a windi din gaa.

²⁴And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.

²⁴ Batukoy jine bora binde na alfaga beero Seraya sambu, da alfaga hinkanta Zafaniya, da me batuko hinza.

²⁵And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven 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 midst of the city.

²⁵ Noodin gallo ra mo, a na faadance fo sambu kaŋ soojey kulu go a kambe ra, da boro iyye kaŋ ga saaware nda bonkoono kaŋ yaŋ a gar gallo ra, da wonkoyo tira hantumkwa, nga kaŋ ga laabo soojey hantum, da boro waydu koyne laabo borey ra, kaŋ yaŋ a gar gallo ra.

²⁶And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;

²⁶ Batukoy koyo Nebuzaradan binde kand'ey Babila bonkoono do Ribla ra.

²⁷and 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.

²⁷ Babila bonkoono mo n'i kar k'i wi noodin Ribla, Hamat laabo ra. Yaadin cine no i na Yahuda ku d'a nga laabo ra ka kond'a tamtaray.

²⁸This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three Jews;

²⁸ Borey kaŋ Nebukadnezzar konda tamtaray neeya: A mayra jiiri iyyanta ra, Yahuda boro zambar hinza nda waranka cindi hinza no ka dira.

²⁹in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive] from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

²⁹ Nebukadnezzar mayra jiiri way cindi ahakkanta ra, a na boro zangu ahakku nda waranza cindi hinka ku Urusalima ka kond'ey ka daŋ tamtaray.

³⁰in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.

³⁰ Nebukadnezzar mayra jiiri waranka cindi hinzanta ra batukoy jine bora Nebuzaradan na Yahudancey zangu iyye nda waytaaci cindi gu ku. Ngey mo, a kond'ey ka daŋ tamtaray. Borey talaato kulu me, boro zambar taaci nda zangu iddu no.

³¹And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth 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, and brought him forth out of prison;

³¹ A ciya binde Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacin jiiri waranza cindi iyyanta kaŋ a go tamtaray ra, handu way cindi hinkanta, hando jirbi waranka cindi guwanta hane, kala Babila bonkoono Ebil-Merodak mayra jiiri sintina ra, a na Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacin beerandi k'a kaa kasu fuwo ra.

³²and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.

³² A na gomni sanni te a se k'a no karga kaŋ gonda darza ka bisa bonkooni cindey kaŋ go nga banda din waney, noodin Babila ra.

³³And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;

³³ A n'a kasu bankaarayey kaa a gaa k'i barmay a se. Yehoyacin soobay ka ŋwa mo Babila bonkoono banda duumi hal a fundo jirbey me.

³⁴and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

³⁴ Babila bonkoono soobay k'a no hay kulu kaŋ a ga laami nd'a duumi. Zaari kulu i g'a no nga baa kala han kaŋ hane a bu, a fundo jirbey kulu ra.
