¹In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became 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.

²Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by 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.

³Surely at the commandment of Yahweh came this on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,

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 for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh 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.

⁵Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they 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?

⁶So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

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

⁷The king of Egypt didn’t come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

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 in Jerusalem three months: and his mother’s name was Nehushta the 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.

⁹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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 to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

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

¹¹Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to 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 the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: 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.

¹³He carried out there all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in Yahweh’s temple, as Yahweh 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.

¹⁴He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except 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.

¹⁵He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he 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.

¹⁶All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought 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.

¹⁷The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king is his place, 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 the 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.

¹⁹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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 through the anger of Yahweh, it happened in Jerusalem and 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.
