2 Chronicles 36
1 THEN the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s stead in Jerusalem.
El pueblo de la tierra tomó a Joacaz, hijo de Josías, y lo proclamó rey en Jerusalén en lugar de su padre.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Joacaz tenía 23 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó tres meses en Jerusalén.
3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
El rey de Egipto lo destituyó en Jerusalén, e impuso al país un tributo de 3,3 toneladas de plata y 33 kilogramos de oro.
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
Después el rey de Egipto proclamó a Eliaquim, hermano de Joacaz, como rey de Judá y Jerusalén, y cambió su nombre por Joacim. Y [el rey] Necao tomó a su hermano Joacaz y lo llevó a Egipto.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty and 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 his God.
Joacim tenía 25 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 11 años en Jerusalén. Hizo lo malo ante Yavé su ʼElohim.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, subió contra él. Lo ató con grillos de bronce y lo llevó a Babilonia.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
Además, Nabucodonosor llevó a Babilonia parte de los utensilios de la Casa de Yavé y los depositó en su templo en Babilonia.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
Los demás hechos de Joacim, las repugnancias que cometió y lo que fue hallado contra él, ciertamente están escritos en el rollo de los reyes de Israel y de Judá. Su hijo Joaquín reinó en su lugar.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was 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 malo ante Yavé.
10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Después del año el rey Nabucodonosor lo detuvo y lo llevó a Babilonia juntamente con los utensilios preciosos de la Casa de Yavé. Proclamó a su hermano Sedequías como rey de Judá y Jerusalén.
11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Sedequías tenía 21 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 11 años en Jerusalén.
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord.
Hizo lo malo ante Yavé su ʼElohim, y no se humilló delante del profeta Jeremías, quien le hablaba de parte de Yavé. También se rebeló contra el rey Nabucodonosor, ante el cual juró por ʼElohim.
13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.
Se volvió indómito y obstinó su corazón para no regresar a Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel.
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
También todos los jefes de los sacerdotes y el pueblo aumentaron la infidelidad al actuar según las repugnancias de las naciones y profanar la Casa de Yavé que Él santificó en Jerusalén.
15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
Yavé, el ʼElohim de sus antepasados, les envió sus mensajeros, porque Él se compadecía de su pueblo y de su vivienda.
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
Pero ellos se burlaron de los mensajeros de ʼElohim y despreciaron la Palabra de Él. Se burlaban de sus profetas hasta que la ira de Yavé se encendió contra su pueblo y no hubo remedio.
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
Entonces el rey de los caldeos subió contra ellos y mató a espada a sus jóvenes en la Casa de su Santuario. No tuvo compasión del joven, la doncella, el anciano ni el débil. A todos los entregó en su mano.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
Llevó a Babilonia todos los utensilios de la Casa de ʼElohim, grandes y pequeños, y los tesoros de la Casa de Yavé y los del rey y de sus jefes.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
Quemaron la Casa de ʼElohim y destruyeron el muro de Jerusalén. Incendiaron todos los edificios fortificados y destruyeron todos los objetos valiosos que había en ella.
20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
A los que escaparon de la espada los llevó cautivos a Babilonia, y fueron esclavos de él y sus hijos hasta cuando se impuso el reino de Persia,
21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
para que se cumpliera la Palabra de Yavé por boca de Jeremías, hasta cuando la tierra disfrutó sus sábados. Guardó sábado todo el tiempo de la desolación hasta cumplirse 70 años.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
En el primer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliera la Palabra de Yavé pronunciada por boca de Jeremías, Yavé despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, quien hizo pregonar por escrito en todo su reino:
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
Ciro, rey de Persia, dice: Yavé, el ʼElohim del cielo, me dio todos los reinos de la tierra y me designó para que le construya una Casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá. El que de ustedes sea de su pueblo, que Yavé su ʼElohim sea con él, y suba.
