2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s stead in Jerusalem.
Tulit ergo populus terræ Ioachaz filium Iosiæ, et constituit regem pro patre suo in Ierusalem.
2 Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Vigintitrium annorum erat Ioachaz, cum regnare cœpisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Amovit autem eum rex Ægypti cum venisset in Ierusalem, et condemnavit terram centum talentis argenti, et talento auri.
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
Constituitque pro eo regem, Eliakim fratrem eius, super Iudam et Ierusalem: et vertit nomen eius Ioakim: ipsum vero Ioachaz tulit secum, et abduxit in Ægyptum.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God.
Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioakim cum regnare cœpisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: fecitque malum coram Domino Deo suo.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Contra hunc ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Chaldæorum, et vinctum catenis duxit in Babylonem.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
Ad quam et vasa Domini transtulit, et posuit ea in templo suo.
8 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 stead.
Reliqua autem verborum Ioakim, et abominationum eius, quas operatus est, et quæ inventa sunt in eo, continentur in Libro regum Iuda et Israel. Regnavit autem Ioachin filius eius pro eo.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah.
Octo annorum erat Ioachin cum regnare cœpisset, et tribus mensibus, ac decem diebus regnavit in Ierusalem, fecitque malum in conspectu Domini.
10 And at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Jehovah, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Cumque anni circulus volveretur, misit Nabuchodonosor rex, qui adduxerunt eum in Babylonem, asportatis simul pretiosissimis vasis domus Domini: Regem vero constituit Sedeciam patruum eius super Iudam et Ierusalem.
11 Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:
Viginti et unius anni erat Sedecias cum regnare cœpisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
12 and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah.
Fecitque malum in oculis Domini Dei sui, nec erubuit faciem Ieremiæ prophetæ, loquentis ad se ex ore Domini.
13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning unto Jehovah, the God of Israel.
A rege quoque Nabuchodonosor recessit, qui adiuraverat eum per Deum: et induravit cervicem suam et cor ut non reverteretur ad Dominum Deum Israel.
14 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
Sed et universi principes sacerdotum, et populus, prævaricati sunt inique iuxta universas abominationes Gentium, et polluerunt domum Domini, quam sanctificaverat sibi in Ierusalem.
15 And Jehovah, 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:
Mittebat autem Dominus Deus patrum suorum ad illos per manum nunciorum suorum de nocte consurgens, et quotidie commonens: eo quod parceret populo et habitaculo suo.
16 but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Jehovah arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
At illi subsannabant nuncios Dei, et parvipendebant sermones eius, illudebantque prophetis, donec ascenderet furor Domini in populum eius, et esset nulla curatio.
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, old man or hoary-headed: he gave them all into his hand.
Adduxit enim super eos regem Chaldæorum, et interfecit iuvenes eorum gladio in domo sanctuarii sui, non est misertus adolescentis, et virginis, et senis, nec decrepiti quidem, sed omnes tradidit in manibus eius.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
Universaque vasa domus Domini tam maiora, quam minora, et thesauros templi, et regis, et principum transtulit in Babylonem.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
Incenderunt hostes domum Dei, destruxeruntque murum Ierusalem, universas turres combusserunt, et quidquid pretiosum fuerat, demoliti sunt.
20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
Siquis evaserat gladium, ductus in Babylonem servivit regi et filiis eius, donec imperaret rex Persarum,
21 to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths: [for] as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
et compleretur sermo Domini ex ore Ieremiæ, et celebraret terra sabbata sua: cunctis enim diebus desolationis egit sabbatum usque dum complerentur septuaginta anni.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah 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,
Anno autem primo Cyri regis Persarum ad explendum sermonem Domini, quem locutus fuerat per os Ieremiæ, suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum: qui iussit prædicari in universo regno suo, etiam per scripturam, dicens:
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, Jehovah his God be with him, and let him go up.
Hæc dicit Cyrus rex Persarum: Omnia regna terræ dedit mihi Dominus Deus cæli, et ipse præcepit mihi ut ædificarem ei domum in Ierusalem, quæ est in Iudæa: quis ex vobis est in omni populo eius? sit Dominus Deis suus cum eo, et ascendat.
