Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz ne ja-higni piero ariyo gadek kane odoko ruoth kendo nobedo e loch kodak Jerusalem kuom dweche adek.
Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
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.
The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

6 Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nomonje motweye gi rateke mag mula motere Babulon.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
7 Bende Nebukadneza nokawo gige lemo mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye moketogi e hekalu mare e piny Babulon.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of Yahweh’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son 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 eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
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.
At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of Yahweh’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother 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 began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache kendo ne ok obolore e nyim Jeremia janabi mane nyise wach Jehova Nyasaye.
He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from Yahweh’s mouth.
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 he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, 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.
Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted Yahweh’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kweregi nooronegi wach kokalo kuom jootene kinde ka kinde nikech nokecho joge kod kar dakne.
Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people 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, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no 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.
Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
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.
All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
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.
They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
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.
He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
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.
to fulfill Yahweh’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
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:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that Yahweh’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
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.’”
“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
