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.
Entonces el pueblo del país tomó a Joacaz, hijo de Josías, y le proclamaron rey en Jerusalén, en lugar de su padre.
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.
Joacaz tenía veinte y tres años cuando empezó a reinar, y reinó tres meses en Jerusalén.
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.
El rey de Egipto le destituyó en Jerusalén, e impuso al país una contribución de cien talentos de plata y un talento de oro.
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.
El rey de Egipto puso por rey sobre Judá y Jerusalén a Eliaquim, hermano de (Joacaz), cambiándole el nombre por el de Joakim. Y a Joacaz, su hermano, le tomó Necao y le llevó a Egipto.
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.
Joakim tenía veinte y cinco años cuando empezó a reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalén. Hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, su Dios.
6 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.
Subió Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, contra él, y le ató con cadenas de bronce para conducirle a Babilonia.
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.
Nabucodonosor llevó a Babilonia también vasos de la Casa de Yahvé, que depositó en su templo en Babilonia.
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.
Los demás hechos de Joakim, las abominaciones que hizo, y todo lo que le sucedió, he aquí que esto está escrito en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá. En su lugar reinó su hijo Joaquín.
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.
Joaquín tenía ocho años cuando empezó a reinar, y reinó tres meses y diez días en Jerusalén, haciendo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé.
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.
A la vuelta del año mandó el rey Nabucodonosor que le llevasen a Babilonia, juntamente con los objetos más preciosos de la Casa de Yahvé; y en su lugar puso a Sedecías, hermano de (Joaquín), por rey sobre Judá y Jerusalén.
11 Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Sedecías tenía veinte y un años cuando empezó a reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalén.
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;
Hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, su Dios, y no se humilló ante el profeta Jeremías que le hablaba de parte de Yahvé.
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.
También se rebeló contra el rey Nabucodonosor, el cual le había hecho jurar por Dios; y endureció su cerviz e hizo obstinado su corazón, en vez de convertirse a Yahvé, el Dios de Israel.
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.
También todos los príncipes de los sacerdotes y el pueblo se portaron muy impíamente, imitando todas las abominaciones de los gentiles y contaminando la Casa de Yahvé, que Él había santificado en Jerusalén.
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.
Yahvé, el Dios de sus padres, les envió muy pronto reiteradas amonestaciones por medio de sus mensajeros, porque tenía compasión de su pueblo y de su morada.
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.
Pero ellos burlándose de los mensajeros de Dios, despreciaron sus palabras y se mofaron de sus profetas, hasta que subió la ira de Yahvé contra su pueblo a tal punto que no hubo más remedio.
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.
Por lo cual trajo (Dios) contra ellos al rey de los caldeos, que mató a espada a sus jóvenes en la Casa de su Santuario, sin perdonar a mancebo ni a doncella, a viejo ni a cabeza cana; a todos los entregó (Dios) en su mano.
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.
Nabucodonosor lo llevó todo a Babilonia: todos los utensilios de la Casa de Dios, grandes y pequeños, los tesoros de la Casa de Yahvé, y los tesoros del rey y de sus príncipes.
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.
Incendiaron la Casa de Dios y derribaron las murallas de Jerusalén; pegaron fuego a todos sus palacios y destruyeron todo cuanto en ellos había de precioso.
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.
Y a los que escaparon de la espada, los llevaron cautivos a Babilonia, donde fueron esclavos de él y de sus hijos hasta la dominación del reino de los persas;
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.
para que se cumpliese la palabra de Yahvé pronunciada por boca de Jeremías; hasta que el país hubo gozado de sus sábados; pues descansó todos los días de su desolación, hasta que se cumplieron los setenta años.
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,
El año primero de Ciro, rey de Persia, en cumplimiento de la palabra de Yahvé, pronunciada por boca de Jeremías, Yahvé movió el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, el cual mandó publicar de viva voz, y también por escrito, en todo su reino, el siguiente edicto:
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.
Así dice Ciro, rey de Persia: “Yahvé, el Dios del cielo, me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra; y me ha encargado de edificarle una casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá. Todos los de entre vosotros que formen parte de su pueblo, sea Yahvé, su Dios, con ellos y suban (a Jerusalén).
