2 Chronicles 36

1 Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua ʻa Sihoaasi ko e foha ʻo Sosaia, ʻo fakanofo ia ko e tuʻi ko e fetongi ʻo ʻene tamai ʻi Selūsalema.

2 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe tolu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoaasi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu ʻi Selūsalema.

3 And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

Pea naʻe liua ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo ne pule ke totongi ʻe he fonua ʻaki ʻae taleniti koula ʻe taha.

4 And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him, and carried him away into Egypt.

Pea ne fakanofo ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite hono tokoua ke tuʻi ia ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻo ne liua hono hingoa ko Sihoiakimi. Pea naʻe puke ʻe Niko ʻa hono tokoua ko Sihoaasi ʻo fetuku ia ki ʻIsipite.

5 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God.

Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe nima ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakimi ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.

6 Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon.

Pea naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ia ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone, pea naʻa ne haʻi ia ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa haʻi ke fetuku ia ki Papilone.

7 And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple.

Pea naʻe fetuku foki ʻe Nepukanesa ʻae ngaahi ipu ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova ki Papilone, ʻo tuku ia ki hono fale tapu ʻi Papilone.

8 But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.

Pea ko eni ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Sihoiakimi, mo ʻene fakalielia naʻa ne fai, mo ia naʻe ʻilo ʻiate ia, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Siuta: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Sihoiakini ko hono foha.

9 Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.

Naʻe valu taʻu ʻae motuʻa ʻo Sihoiakini ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu mo e ʻaho ʻe hongofulu ʻi Selūsalema: pea naʻe fai kovi ʻe ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

10 And at the return of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, carrying away at the same time the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Sedecias his uncle king over Juda and Jerusalem.

Pea ʻi he hili ʻae taʻu, naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Papilone, fakataha mo e ngaahi ipu matamatalelei ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe fakanofo ʻa Setikia ko hono tokoua ke ne tuʻi ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.

11 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

Naʻe uofulu taʻu mo e taʻu ʻe taha ʻae motuʻa ʻo Setikia ʻi heʻene kamata pule, pea naʻe pule ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma taha ʻi Selūsalema.

12 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko hono ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne fakavaivai ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Selemaia ko e palōfita, naʻe lea mei he fofonga ʻo Sihova.

13 He also revolted from king Nabuchodonosor, who had made him swear by God: and he hardened his neck and his heart, from returning to the Lord the God of Israel.

Pea naʻe angatuʻu ia foki ki he tuʻi ko Nepukanesa, ʻaia naʻa ne fakafuakavaʻi ia ki he ʻOtua: ka naʻa ne fakakekeva hono kia, pea fakafefeka ki hono loto ʻi he taʻefietafoki kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.

14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.

Pea naʻe fai hala foki ʻae kau taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē, mo e kakai, ʻo fai hala lahi ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi angakovi ʻae hiteni: ʻonau fakahalaʻi ʻae fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia naʻa ne fakatapui.

15 And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising early, and daily admonishing them: because he spared his people and his dwelling place.

Pea naʻe kouna kiate kinautolu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻene kau talafekau, naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake, pea fekau: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angaʻofa ki hono kakai, pea ki hono potu nofoʻanga:

16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.

Ka naʻa nau manuki ki he kau talafekau ʻae ʻOtua, pea taʻetokanga ki heʻene ngaahi lea, mo fai kovi ki heʻene kau palōfita, pea naʻe tupu ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova ki hono kakai, pea naʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻui.

17 For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered them all into his hands.

Ko ia naʻa ne ʻomi ai kiate kinautolu ʻae tuʻi ʻoe kakai Kalitia, ʻaia naʻe tāmateʻi ʻenau kau talavou ʻaki ʻae heletā ʻi he fale ʻo ʻenau fakatahaʻanga, pea naʻe ʻikai ha ʻofa ki ha talavou pe ki ha taʻahine, ʻae tangata motuʻa, pe ko ia ʻoku mapelu ʻi he motuʻa lahi: naʻa ne tuku ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ki hono nima.

18 And all the vessels of the house of the Lord, great and small, and the treasures of the temple and of the king, and of the princes he carried away to Babylon.

Pea mo e ngaahi ipu kotoa pē ʻoe fale ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻae lahi mo e siʻi, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻae fale ʻo Sihova, mo e ngaahi koloa ʻae tuʻi, mo e [koloa ]ʻa hono houʻeiki: pea naʻe ʻomi ia kotoa pē ki Papilone.

19 And the enemies set fire to the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all the towers, and whatsoever was precious they destroyed.

Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻae fale ʻoe ʻOtua pea holoki hifo ʻae ʻā maka ʻo Selūsalema, pea naʻe tutu hono ngaahi fale fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo ia ʻaki ʻae afi, pea maumau ʻae ngaahi nāunau matamatalelei kotoa pē naʻe ʻi ai.

20 Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king of Persia.

Pea ko kinautolu naʻe hao mei he heletā naʻa ne fetuku ʻakinautolu ki Papilone: ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai ko e kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia pea ki hono ngaahi foha ʻo aʻu ki he pule ʻae puleʻanga ʻo Peasia:

21 That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.

Ke fakamoʻoni ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, “Ke ʻoua ke maʻu fiemālie pe ʻe he fonua hono ngaahi ʻaho tapu: he koeʻuhi ʻi heʻene nofo lala pe naʻa ne maʻu ʻae ʻaho tapu ke fakakakato ʻae taʻu ʻe fitungofulu.”

22 But in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus king of the Persians who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, saying:

Pea ko eni ʻi he ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, ke fakatonutonu ai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngutu ʻo Selemaia, naʻe langaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie ʻo Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, koeʻuhi ke fanongonongo ʻae fono ʻi hono puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ke ʻai ia ʻi he tohi foki, ʻo pehē,

23 Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia, “Kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe langi, ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani kiate au: pea kuo ne fekau kiate au ke u langa ʻae fale moʻona ʻi Selūsalema ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Siuta. Ko hai ia ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻo hono kakai? Ke ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, pea tuku ke ʻalu hake ia.”
