< Chronicles II 36 >

1 And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father.
و قوم زمین، یهوآحاز بن یوشیا راگرفته، او را در جای پدرش در اورشلیم به پادشاهی نصب نمودند.۱
2 Joachaz [was] twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem.
یهوآحاز بیست و سه ساله بود که پادشاه شد و در اورشلیم سه ماه سلطنت نمود.۲
3 And the king brought him over to Egypt; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
و پادشاه مصر، او را در اورشلیم معزول نمود و زمین را به صد وزنه نقره و یک وزنه طلا جریمه کرد.۳
4 And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao.
و پادشاه مصر، برادرش الیاقیم را بر یهودا و اورشلیم پادشاه ساخت، و اسم او رابه یهویاقیم تبدیل نمود، و نکو برادرش یهوآحازرا گرفته، به مصر برد.۴
5 Joachim was twenty-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 the Lord.
یهویاقیم بیست و پنج ساله بود که پادشاه شد و یازده سال در اورشلیم سلطنت نمود، و درنظر یهوه خدای خود شرارت ورزید.۵
6 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.
ونبوکدنصر پادشاه بابل به ضد او برآمد و او را به زنجیرها بست تا او را به بابل ببرد.۶
7 And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon.
و نبوکدنصربعضی از ظروف خانه خداوند را به بابل آورده، آنها را در قصر خود در بابل گذاشت.۷
8 And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead.
و بقیه وقایع یهویاقیم و رجاساتی که به عمل آورد وآنچه در او یافت شد، اینک در تواریخ پادشاهان اسرائیل و یهودا مکتوب است، و پسرش یهویاکین در جایش پادشاهی کرد.۸
9 Jechonias [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
یهویاکین هشت ساله بود که پادشاه شد و سه ماه و ده روز در اورشلیم سلطنت نمود و آنچه درنظر خداوند ناپسند بود، به عمل آورد.۹
10 And at the turn of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Sedekias his father's brother king over Juda and Jerusalem.
و در وقت تحویل سال، نبوکدنصر پادشاه فرستاد و اورا با ظروف گرانبهای خانه خداوند به بابل آورد، و برادرش صدقیا را بر یهودا و اورشلیم پادشاه ساخت.۱۰
11 Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
صدقیا بیست و یکساله بود که پادشاه شد ویازده سال در اورشلیم سلطنت نمود.۱۱
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God: he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremias, nor because of the word of the Lord;
و در نظریهوه خدای خود شرارت ورزیده، در حضورارمیای نبی که از زبان خداوند به او سخن گفت، تواضع ننمود.۱۲
13 in that he rebelled against king Nabuchodonosor, which he adjured him by God [not to do]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.
و نیز بر نبوکدنصر پادشاه که اورا به خدا قسم داده بود عاصی شد و گردن خود راقوی و دل خویش را سخت ساخته، به سوی یهوه خدای اسرائیل بازگشت ننمود.۱۳
14 And all the great men of Juda, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem.
و تمامی روسای کهنه و قوم، خیانت بسیاری موافق همه رجاسات امت‌ها ورزیدند و خانه خداوند را که آن را در اورشلیم تقدیس نموده بود، نجس ساختند.۱۴
15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets; rising early and sending his messengers, for he spared his people, and his sanctuary.
و یهوه خدای پدر ایشان به‌دست رسولان خویش نزد ایشان فرستاد، بلکه صبح زودبرخاسته، ایشان را ارسال نمود زیرا که بر قوم خود و بر مسکن خویش شفقت نمود.۱۵
16 Nevertheless they sneered at his messengers, and set at nothing his words, and mocked his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose up against his people, till there was no remedy.
اماایشان رسولان خدا را اهانت نمودند و کلام او راخوار شمرده، انبیایش را استهزا نمودند، چنانکه غضب خداوند بر قوم او افروخته شد، به حدی که علاجی نبود.۱۶
17 And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands.
پس پادشاه کلدانیان را که جوانان ایشان رادر خانه مقدس ایشان به شمشیر کشت و برجوانان و دوشیزگان و پیران و ریش سفیدان ترحم ننمود، بر ایشان آورد و همه را به‌دست او تسلیم کرد.۱۷
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon.
و او سایر ظروف خانه خدا را از بزرگ وکوچک و خزانه های خانه خداوند و گنجهای پادشاه و سرورانش را تمام به بابل برد.۱۸
19 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt its palaces with fire, and [utterly destroyed] every beautiful vessel.
و خانه خدا را سوزانیدند و حصار اورشلیم را منهدم ساختند و همه قصرهایش را به آتش سوزانیدندو جمیع آلات نفیسه آنها را ضایع کردند.۱۹
20 And he carried away the remnant to Babylon; and they were servants to him and to his sons until [the establishment of] the kingdom of the Medes.
وبقیه السیف را به بابل به اسیری برد که ایشان تازمان سلطنت پادشاهان فارس او را و پسرانش رابنده بودند.۲۰
21 That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, until the land should enjoy its sabbaths in resting [and] sabbath keeping all the days of its desolation, till the accomplishment of seventy years.
تا کلام خداوند به زبان ارمیا کامل شود و زمین از سبت های خود تمتع برد زیرا درتمامی ایامی که ویران ماند آرامی یافت، تا هفتادسال سپری شد.۲۱
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfilment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
و در سال اول کورش، پادشاه فارس، تاکلام خداوند به زبان ارمیا کامل شود، خداوندروح کورش، پادشاه فارس را برانگیخت تا درتمامی ممالک خود فرمانی نافذ کرد و آن را نیزمرقوم داشت و گفت:۲۲
23 Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
«کورش، پادشاه فارس چنین می‌فرماید: یهوه خدای آسمانها، تمامی ممالک زمین را به من داده است و او مرا امر فرمودکه خانه‌ای برای وی در اورشلیم که در یهودااست بنا نمایم. پس کیست از شما از تمامی قوم او؟ یهوه خدایش همراهش باشد و برود.»۲۳
