2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and they appointed him king in place of his father, in Jerusalem.
Entonces el pueblo del país tomó a Joacaz, hijo de Josías, y lo hizo rey en lugar de su padre en Jerusalén.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem.
Joacaz tenía veintitrés años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó tres meses en Jerusalén.
3 Then the king of Egypt, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, removed him, and condemned the land to one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
El rey de Egipto lo destituyó de su cargo en Jerusalén y le impuso una multa de cien talentos de plata y un talento de oro.
4 And he appointed Eliakim, his brother, as king in his place, over Judah and Jerusalem. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Truly, he took Jehoahaz with him, and he led him away to Egypt.
El rey de Egipto hizo a Eliaquim, su hermano, rey de Judá y de Jerusalén, y le cambió el nombre por el de Joaquín. Neco tomó a Joacaz, su hermano, y lo llevó a Egipto.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil before the Lord his God.
Joacim tenía veinticinco años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalén. Hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, su Dios.
6 Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Chaldeans, ascended against him, and led him bound in chains to Babylon.
Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, subió contra él y lo ató con grilletes para llevarlo a Babilonia.
7 And to there, he also took away the vessels of the Lord, and he placed them in his temple.
Nabucodonosor también llevó a Babilonia algunos de los utensilios de la casa de Yahvé, y los puso en su templo en Babilonia.
8 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he worked, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then his son, Jehoiachin, reigned in his place.
Los demás hechos de Joacim, y las abominaciones que hizo, y lo que se halló en él, he aquí que están escritos en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá; y reinó en su lugar Joaquín, su hijo.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
Joaquín tenía ocho años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó tres meses y diez días en Jerusalén. Hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé.
10 And when the course of a year had turned, king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, carrying away, at the same time, the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord. Truly, he appointed his uncle, Zedekiah, as king over Judah and Jerusalem.
A la vuelta del año, el rey Nabucodonosor lo envió y lo llevó a Babilonia, junto con los objetos de valor de la casa de Yahvé, y puso a su hermano Sedequías como rey de Judá y de Jerusalén.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem.
Sedequías tenía veintiún años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó once años en Jerusalén.
12 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. And he did not show remorse before the face of the prophet Jeremiah, who was speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
Hizo lo que era malo a los ojos de Yahvé, su Dios. No se humilló ante el profeta Jeremías que hablaba por boca de Yahvé.
13 Also, he withdrew from king Nebuchadnezzar, who had bound him by an oath to God, and he hardened his own neck and his own heart, so that he did not return to the Lord, the God of Israel.
También se rebeló contra el rey Nabucodonosor, que lo había hecho jurar por Dios; pero endureció su cerviz y su corazón para no volverse a Yahvé, el Dios de Israel.
14 Then too, all the leaders of the priests, with the people, transgressed iniquitously, in accord with all the abominations of the Gentiles. And they polluted the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
Además, todos los jefes de los sacerdotes y del pueblo cometieron una gran prevaricación, siguiendo todas las abominaciones de las naciones, y contaminaron la casa de Yahvé que él había santificado en Jerusalén.
15 Then the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising in the night and daily admonishing them. For he was lenient to his people and to his habitation.
Yahvé, el Dios de sus padres, les envió por medio de sus mensajeros, madrugando y enviando, porque se compadecía de su pueblo y de su morada;
16 But they ridiculed the messengers of God, and they gave little weight to his words, and they mocked the prophets, until the fury of the Lord ascended against his people, and there was no remedy.
pero se burlaron de los mensajeros de Dios, despreciaron sus palabras y se mofaron de sus profetas, hasta que la ira de Yahvé se levantó contra su pueblo, hasta que no hubo remedio.
17 For he led over them the king of the Chaldeans. And he put to death their young men by the sword, in the house of his sanctuary. There was no pity for adolescents, nor virgins, nor the elderly, nor even for the disabled. Instead, he delivered them all into his hands.
Por eso trajo sobre ellos al rey de los caldeos, que mató a sus jóvenes a espada en la casa de su santuario, y no tuvo compasión ni de jóvenes ni de vírgenes, ni de ancianos ni de enfermos. Los entregó a todos en su mano.
18 And all the vessels of the house of Lord, as much the greater as the lesser, and the treasures of the temple, and of the king and the rulers, he carried away to Babylon.
Todos los utensilios de la casa de Dios, grandes y pequeños, y los tesoros de la casa de Yahvé, y los tesoros del rey y de sus príncipes, todo eso lo llevó a Babilonia.
19 The enemies set fire to the house of God, and they destroyed the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the towers. And whatever was precious, they demolished.
Incendiaron la casa de Dios, derribaron la muralla de Jerusalén, quemaron todos sus palacios con fuego y destruyeron todos sus objetos de valor.
20 If anyone had escaped from the sword, he was led into Babylon. And he served the king and his sons, until the king of Persia would command,
Llevó a Babilonia a los que habían escapado de la espada, y fueron siervos de él y de sus hijos hasta el reinado del reino de Persia,
21 and the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled, and the land would celebrate her Sabbaths. For during all the days of the desolation, she kept a Sabbath, until the seventy years were completed.
para que se cumpliera la palabra de Yahvé por boca de Jeremías, hasta que la tierra disfrutara de sus sábados. Mientras estuvo desolada, guardó el sábado, para cumplir setenta años.
22 Then, in the first year of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, who commanded this to be proclaimed throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
En el primer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliera la palabra de Yahvé por boca de Jeremías, Yahvé despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, de modo que hizo una proclama por todo su reino y la puso también por escrito, diciendo:
23 “Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he has instructed me that I should build for him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. Who among you is from his entire people? May the Lord his God be with him, and let him ascend.”
“Ciro, rey de Persia, dice: ‘Yahvé, el Dios del cielo, me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra y me ha ordenado que le construya una casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá. El que esté entre vosotros de todo su pueblo, que Yahvé su Dios esté con él, y que suba’”.
