2 Weche Mag Ndalo 36
1 Kendo jopinyno nokawo Jehoahaz wuod Josia mokete obedo ruoth e Jerusalem kar wuon mare.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Jehoahaz ne ja-higni piero ariyo gadek kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kodak Jerusalem kuom dweche adek.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
3 Ruodh jo-Misri nogole e loch Jerusalem kendo nochuno jo-Juda mondo ochiw osuru mar fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu adek gi mia angʼwen kod dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo piero adek gangʼwen.
And the king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Ruodh Misri noketo Eliakim owadgi Jehoahaz ruodh Juda kod Jerusalem kendo noloko nying Eliakim ni Jehoyakim. Neko nokawo Jehoahaz owadgi Eliakim mi otero e twech Misri.
Then Neco king of Egypt made Eliakim brother of Jehoahaz king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.
5 Jehoyakim ne ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kuom higni apar gachiel kodak Jerusalem. Kendo notimo gik maricho e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
6 Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nomonje motweye gi rateke mag mula motere Babulon.
Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
7 Bende Nebukadneza nokawo gige lemo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye moketogi e hekalu mare e piny Babulon.
Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon some of the articles from the house of the LORD, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Kuom gik mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Jehoyakim, timbe maricho manotimo kod ketho malingʼ-lingʼ mane ofweny kuome, ondiki e kitap ruodhi mag Israel kod Juda. Kendo Jehoyakin wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations he committed, and all that was found against him, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
9 Jehoyakin ne ja-higni apar gaboro kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kodak Jerusalem kuom dweche adek kod ndalo apar. Notimo richo e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
10 E ndalo chwiri ruoth Nebukadneza nooro wach mondo oome otere Babulon kaachiel gi gige lemo mabeyo mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo noketo owadgi wuon Jehoyakin, ma nyinge Zedekia mondo obed ruodh Juda kod Jerusalem.
In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekia ne ja-higni piero ariyo gachiel kane obedo ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kuom higni apar gachiel kodak Jerusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
12 Notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache kendo ne ok obolore e nyim Jeremia janabi mane nyise wach Jehova Nyasaye.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.
13 Bende nongʼanyo ni ruoth Nebukadneza mane okete mokwongʼore gi nying Nyasaye. Ne toke obedo matek ta kendo chunye ne ok odewo mondo oduog ir Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
14 To bende jotelo madongo duto mag jodolo kod ji nomedo bedo joma ok jo-ratiro, ka giluwo timbe mamono mag oganda kendo ne gichido hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye mane osepwodho Jerusalem.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi nooronegi wach kokalo kuom jootene kinde ka kinde nikech nokecho joge kod kar dakne.
Again and again the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to His people through His messengers because He had compassion on them and on His dwelling place.
16 To negimedo jaro joote Nyasaye ka gichayo wechene kendo ka ginyiero jonabi mage nyaka mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye kod joge maonge kaka dikony.
But they mocked the messengers of God, despising His words and scoffing at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against His people was stirred up beyond remedy.
17 Omiyo ne okelonigi ruodh jo-Babulon mane onego yawuotgi matindo gi ligangla e kama ler mar lemo kendo ne ok okecho wuowi kata nyako, ngʼat motegno kata jaduongʼ moti. Nyasaye nochiwogi duto e lwet Nebukadneza.
So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,
18 Nokawo gige lemo duto madongo gi matindo mane nitiere e hekalu mar Nyasaye, kod gik mane okan e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye gi gik moko duto mane okan e od ruoth kod od jodonge moterogi Babulon.
who carried off everything to Babylon—all the articles of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king and his officials.
19 Ne giwangʼo hekalu mar Nyasaye kendo negimuko ohinga mar Jerusalem; mane giwangʼo ute ruoth duto kendo negiketho gimoro amora ma nengogi tek mane ni kanyo.
Then the Chaldeans set fire to the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the palaces and destroyed every article of value.
20 Nokawo jogo mane otony e nek mag ligangla noterogi e twech Babulon kendo olokogi wasumbinige kod mag yawuote nyaka ochopo ndalo mane jo-Pasia okawe loch.
Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power.
21 Piny nobedo mamor koyudo yweyone mag Sabato, kinde duto mane odongʼ gunda, nyaka higni piero abiriyo orumo mana kaka wach Jehova Nyasaye nowacho gi dho Jeremia.
So the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation, until seventy years were completed, in fulfillment of the word of the LORD through Jeremiah.
22 E higa mokwongo mar loch Sairas ruodh Pasia, mondo ochop singo mar wach Jehova Nyasaye mane Jeremia okoro, Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi chuny Sairas ruodh Pasia mondo ogol lendo e pinye duto koketo e ndiko kama:
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
23 Ma e gima Sairas ruodh Pasia wacho: “‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach polo osemiya pinjeruodhi duto manie piny kendo oseyiera mondo agerne hekalu e Jerusalem manie piny Juda. Ngʼato angʼata kuom joge manie dieru, nyalo dhi kendo mad Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache bed kode.’”
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”
