2 Chronicles 36
1 The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in succession to his father.
Katahi ka mau te iwi o te whenua ki a Iehoahata tama a Hohia, a meinga ana ia e ratou hei kingi i muri i tona papa ki Hiruharama.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months.
E rua tekau ma toru nga tau o Iehoahata i tona kingitanga, a e toru nga marama i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
3 Then the king of Egypt removed him from the throne in Jerusalem and imposed a tax on Judah of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
Na ka whakataka ia e te kingi o Ihipa i Hiruharama; a tangohia ana e tera i te whenua, hei utu he, kotahi rau taranata hiriwa me te taranata koura.
4 Neco, king of Egypt, made Eliakim, Jehoahaz's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz back with him to Egypt.
I meinga ano tona tuakana a Eriakimi e te kingi o Ihipa hei kingi mo Hura, mo Hiruharama: whakawhitia ketia ake tona ingoa ko Iehoiakimi. Na tangohia ana to tenei teina, a Iehoahata, e Neko, mauria ana e ia ki Ihipa.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God.
E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Iehoiakimi i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; he kino ano hoki tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua.
6 Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jehoiakim. He captured him and put bronze shackles on him, and brought him to Babylon.
Whakaekea ana ia e Nepukaneka kingi o Papurona, herea iho ki te mekameka, hei kawe i a ia ki Papurona.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also took some items from the Lord's Temple, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
I mauria ano e Nepukaneha nga oko o te whare o Ihowa ki Papurona, hoatu ana e ia ki roto ki tona temepara i Papurona.
8 The rest of what Jehoiakim, the disgusting sins he committed, and all the evidence against him, are written down in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin took over as king.
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehoiakimi, me ana mea whakarihariha i mea ai, me ana tikanga i kitea, nana, kei te tuhituhi i roto i te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira, o Hura: a ko tana tama, ko Iehoiakini, te kingi i muri i a ia.
9 Jehoiachin was eighteen when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
E waru nga tau o Iehoiakini i tona kingitanga, a e toru nga marama tekau nga ra i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A he kino tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro.
10 In the spring of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and brought him to Babylon, along with valuable items from the Lord's Temple, and he made Jehoiachin's uncle Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Na, i te takanga o te tau, ka tono tangata a Kingi Nepukaneha, a mauria ana ia ki Papurona, me nga oko papai o te whare o Ihowa; a meinga ana e ia tona tuakana a Terekia hei kingi mo Hura, mo Hiruharama.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years.
E rua tekau ma tahi nga tau o Terekia i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
12 He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and he refused to admit his pride when the prophet Jeremiah warned him directly from the Lord.
A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua; kihai hoki ia i whakaiti i a ia i te aroaro o te poropiti, o Heremaia, e korero ana i ta te mangai o Ihowa.
13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear an oath of loyalty by God. Zedekiah was arrogant and hard-hearted, and refused to come back to the Lord, the God of Israel.
I whakakeke ano hoki ia ki a Kingi Nepukaneha, nana nei ia i whakaoati ki te Atua; heoi whakamarokia ana e ia tona kaki, whakapakeketia ana e ia tona ngakau, kihai i tahuri ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.
14 All the leaders of the priests and the people were also totally faithless and sinful, following all the disgusting practices of the heathen nations. They defiled the Lord's Temple that he had set apart as holy in Jerusalem.
Me nga rangatira o nga tohunga, o te iwi, nui atu to ratou kino; i rite tonu ki nga mea whakarihariha katoa o nga tauiwi; whakapokea iho e ratou te whare o Ihowa i whakatapua nei e ia, ki Hiruharama.
15 Again and again the Lord, the God of their fathers, warned his people through his prophets, because he wanted to show mercy to them and to his Temple.
A i unga tangata a Ihowa, te Atua o o ratou matua, ara ana karere ki a ratou; maranga wawe ana ia ki te tono, he tohu hoki nana i tana iwi, i tona nohoanga.
16 But they ridiculed God's messengers, they despised his warnings and mocked his prophets, until the Lord's anger against his people was provoked to such an extent it couldn't be stopped.
Otiia tawaia iho e ratou nga karere a te Atua, whakahaweatia ana ana kupu, tukinotia ana ana poropiti, a ara noa te riri o Ihowa ki tana iwi; a kahore noa iho he whakaoranga.
17 So the Lord brought the king of Babylon to attack them. His army killed by the sword their best young men even in the sanctuary. The Babylonians did not spare young men or young women, the sick or the elderly. God handed them all over to Nebuchadnezzar.
Na reira i kawea ai e ia te kingi o nga Karari ki a ratou, a patua iho e ia a ratou taitama ki te hoari i roto i te whare o to ratou wahi tapu; kihai i tohungia e ia te taitama, te kotiro, te kaumatua, te koroheke tuara piko; hoatu katoa ana e i a ki tona ringa.
18 He took back to Babylon all the articles, large and small, from God's Temple, and from the Temple treasury, and from the king and from his officials.
Na, ko nga oko o te whare o te Atua, ko nga mea nunui, ko nga mea ririki, ko nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te kingi ratou ko ona rangatira; kawea katoatia ana e ia enei ki Papurona.
19 Then the Babylonians burned down God's Temple and demolished Jerusalem's walls. They set fire to all the palaces and destroyed everything that had any value.
Tahuna ake e ratou te whare o te Atua, wahia iho te taiepa o Hiruharama, tahuna ana nga whare papai katoa ki te ahi, ngaro rawa i a ratou nga oko papai katoa o reira.
20 Nebuchadnezzar took into exile in Babylon those who had not been killed. They were slaves for himself and his sons, until the kingdom of Persia took over.
Whakahekea atu ana hoki e ia te hunga i toe i te hoari ki Papurona, a he pononga ratou mana, ma ana tama, a taea noatia te kingitanga o Pahia:
21 So to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the land enjoyed its Sabbaths as rest all the time it was left desolate, keeping the Sabbath until seventy years were completed.
Hei whakaritenga mo te kupu a Ihowa, i korerotia e Heremaia, kia koa ra ano te whenua i ona hapati: he hapati hoki ona i nga ra katoa o te ngaromanga; kia rite ra ano nga tau e whitu tekau.
22 In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
Na, i te tuatahi o nga tau o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, ka whakamana te kupu a Ihowa, i korerotia e Heremaia, ka whakaohokia e Ihowa te wairua o Hairuha kingi o Pahia. Na ka tukua e tera tana karanga puta noa i tona kingitanga; he mea tuhituhi nana; i mea ia,
23 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, who has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go there. May the Lord your God be with you.’”
Ko te kupu tenei a Hairuha kingi o Pahia, Kua oti nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua te homai ki ahau e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga rangi; kua whakahaua mai ano ahau e ia kia hanga i te whare mona ki Hiruharama, ki tera i Hura. Ko wai tenei o koutou o tana iwi katoa, hei a ia a Ihowa, tona Atua, kia haere ake hoki ia.
