Zvino negore repfumbamwe rokubata kwake ushe, nomwedzi wegumi, nezuva regumi romwedzi, Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi akasvika, iye nehondo yake yose, kuzorwa neJerusaremu, vakadzika matende avopo, vakarikomba nenhare.And 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.
Naizvozvo guta rakakombwa kusvikira pagore regumi nerimwe ramambo Zedhekia.And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Zvino negore repfumbamwe romwedzi wechina nzara ikanyanya kwazvo paguta, vanhu venyika iyo vakashaiwa zvokudya.And 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.
Vakaputsa rusvingo rweguta, vanhu vose vehondo vakatiza usiku nenzira yesuo, pakati pamadziro maviri aiva pamunda wamambo; (zvino vaKaradhea vakanga vakakomba guta;) mambo akaenda nenzira yerenje.And 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.
Asi hondo yavaKaradhea yakatevera mambo, vakamubata pamapani eJeriko, hondo yake yose ikapararira ikabva kwaari.And 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.
Zvino vakabata mambo, vakaenda naye kuna mambo weBhabhironi paRibhira, vakamutongerapo.So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
Vakauraya vana vaZedhekia achizviona, vakatumbura meso aZedhekia, vakamusunga namatare, vakamuisa Bhabhironi.And 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.
Zvino nomwedzi wechishanu, nezuva rechinomwe romwedzi, negore regumi namapfumbamwe ramambo Nebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhiron, Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi, muranda wamambo weBhabhironi akasvika Jerusaremu;And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
akapisa imba yaJehovha, neimba yamambo; akapisawo dzimba dzose dzeJerusaremu, dzimba dzose huru, nomoto.And 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.
Hondo yose yavaKaradhea, yakanga inomukuru wavarindi, ikaputsa masvingo eJerusaremu kunhivi dzose.And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi, akatapa vanhu vakanga vasara muguta, navakanga vatiza, vakaenda kuna mambo weBhabhironi, navakanga vasara kuvazhinji.Now 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 Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carry away.
Asi mukuru wavarindi wakasiya varombo venyika, kuti vave varimi veminda yemizambiringa nemimwe minda.But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
VaKaradhea vakaputsanya mbiru dzendarira dzaiva mumba maJehovha, nezvingoro, nedziva rendarira, zvaiva mumba maJehovha, vakaenda nendarira yazvo Bhabhironi.And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
vakatorawo hari nefoshoro nembato dzemwenje, nezvirongo, nenhumbi dzose dzendarira dzavaibata nadzo.And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Nezvaenga zvomoto, nembiya, nezvose zvaiva zvendarama nezvose zvaiva zvesirivha, mukuru wavarindi akazvitora.And 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.
Nembiru mbiri, nedziva rimwe, nezvindori, zvakanga zvaitirwa imba yaJehovha naSoromoni; kurema kwendarira yenhumbi idzi dzose kwakanga kusingagoni kuyerwa.The 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.
Kureba kwembiru imwe kwakasvika makubhiti ane gumi namasere, yaiva nomusoro wendarira pamusoro payo; kureba kwomusoro kwakasvika makubhiti matatu; uye kwakanga kune zvakarukwa, namatamba, zvaipoteredza musoro, zvose zviri zvendarira; mbiru yechipiri yakanga yakafanana neyiyi nezvakarukwawo.The 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 wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
Mukuru wavarindi akatora Saraya mupirisiti mukuru, naZefaniya mupirisiti wechipiri, navarindi vatatu vomukova;And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
uye paguta akatora mukuru waitarira varume vehondo, navarume vashanu vaisionana namambo, vaakawana muguta; nomunyori, nomukuru wehondo waiunganidza vanhu venyika, navarume vanamakumi matanhatu vavanhu venyika, vaakawana muguta.And 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:
Nebhuzaradhani mukuru wavarindi akavatora, akavaisa kuna mambo weBhabhironi paRibhira.And Nebuzar-adan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
Mambo weBhabhironi akavabaya, akavauraya paRibhira, panyika yeHamati. Naizvozvo vaJudha vakatapwa panyika yavo.And 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.
Kana vari vanhu vakasiyiwa panyika yaJudha, vakasiyiwa naNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi, wakaita Gedharia mwanakomana waAhikami, mwanakomana waShafani, mubati wavo.And 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.
Zvino vakuru vose vehondo, ivo navanhu vavo, vakati vanzwa kuti mambo weBhabhironi wakanga aita Gedharia mubati wavo, vakaenda kuna Gedharia paMizipa, vaiti, Ishimaeri mwanakomana waNetania, naJohanani mwanakomana waKarea, naSeraya mwanakomana waTanhumeti muNetofati, naJaazania mwanakomana womuMaakati, ivo navanhu vavo.And 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.
Gedharia akapika kwavari, ivo navanhu vavo, akati kwavari, Regai kutya nokuda kwavaranda vavaKaradhea; garai panyika, mushumire mambo weBhabhironi, mugofara henyu.And 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.
Asi nomwedzi wechinomwe Ishimaeri mwanakomana waNetania, mwanakomana waErishama, worudzi rwamambo, wakasvika anavarume vane gumi, akabaya Gedharia, akafa iye pamwechete navaJudha navaKaradhea vaiva naye paMizipa.But 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.
Ipapo vanhu vose, vaduku navakuru, navakuru vehondo vakasimuka vakaenda Ijipiti, nokuti vakanga vachitya vaKaradhea.And 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.
Zvino negore ramakumi matatu namanomwe rokutapwa kwaJehoyakini mambo waJudha, nomwedzi wegumi nemiviri, nezuva ramakumi maviri namanomwe romwedzi, Evhiri-merodhaki mambo weBhabhironi, negore raakatanga kubata ushe naro, wakasimudza musoro waJehoyakini mambo waJudha, akamubvisa mutorongo;And 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 Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
akataura naye nomoyo munyoro, akakudza chigaro chake choushe kupfuura zvigaro zvoushe zvamadzimambo aiva naye paBhabhironi.And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
Akashandura nguvo dzake dzokusungwa, akaramba achidya zvokudya pamberi pake mazuva ose oupenyu hwake.And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
Kana zviri zvokurarama nazvo, waisipiwa zvokurarama nazvo namambo nguva dzose, zuva rimwe nerimwe mugove waro, mazuva ose oupenyu hwake.And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.
