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.
Και έλαβεν ο λαός της γης τον Ιωάχαζ, υιόν του Ιωσία, και έκαμον αυτόν βασιλέα εν Ιερουσαλήμ, αντί του πατρός αυτού.
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.
Εικοσιτριών ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Ιωάχαζ ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσε τρεις μήνας εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
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.
Καθήρεσε δε αυτόν ο βασιλεύς της Αιγύπτου εν Ιερουσαλήμ, και κατεδίκασε την γην εις πρόστιμον εκατόν ταλάντων αργυρίου και ενός ταλάντου χρυσίου.
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.
Και έκαμεν ο βασιλεύς της Αιγύπτου τον Ελιακείμ τον αδελφόν αυτού βασιλέα επί Ιούδαν και Ιερουσαλήμ, και μετήλλαξε το όνομα αυτού εις Ιωακείμ· τον δε Ιωάχαζ, τον αδελφόν αυτού, έλαβεν ο Νεχαώ και έφερεν αυτόν εις Αίγυπτον.
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.
Εικοσιπέντε ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Ιωακείμ ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσεν ένδεκα έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ· και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού αυτού.
6 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.
Ανέβη εναντίον αυτού Ναβουχοδονόσορ ο βασιλεύς της Βαβυλώνος, και έδεσεν αυτόν με αλύσεις, διά να φέρη αυτόν εις Βαβυλώνα.
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.
Και εκ των σκευών του οίκου του Κυρίου έφερεν ο Ναβουχοδονόσορ εις Βαβυλώνα και έθεσεν αυτά εν τω ναώ αυτού εν Βαβυλώνι.
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.
Αι δε λοιπαί πράξεις του Ιωακείμ και τα βδελύγματα αυτού όσα έκαμε, και όσα ευρέθησαν εν αυτώ, ιδού, είναι γεγραμμένα εν τω βιβλίω των βασιλέων του Ισραήλ και του Ιούδα· και εβασίλευσεν αντ' αυτού Ιωαχείν ο υιός αυτού.
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.
Δέκα οκτώ ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Ιωαχείν ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσε τρεις μήνας και δέκα ημέρας εν Ιερουσαλήμ· και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον Κυρίου.
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.
Εν τω τέλει δε του ενιαυτού αποστείλας ο βασιλεύς Ναβουχοδονόσορ, έφερεν αυτόν εις Βαβυλώνα, μετά των εκλεκτών σκευών του οίκου του Κυρίου· και έκαμε Σεδεκίαν τον αδελφόν αυτού βασιλέα επί τον Ιούδαν και Ιερουσαλήμ.
11 Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Ενός και είκοσι ετών ηλικίας ήτο ο Σεδεκίας ότε εβασίλευσε, και εβασίλευσεν ένδεκα έτη εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
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;
Και έπραξε πονηρά ενώπιον Κυρίου του Θεού αυτού· δεν εταπεινώθη ενώπιον Ιερεμίου του προφήτου, λαλούντος εκ στόματος του Κυρίου.
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.
Και έτι απεστάτησεν εναντίον του βασιλέως Ναβουχοδονόσορ, όστις ώρκισεν αυτόν εις τον Θεόν· και εσκλήρυνε τον τράχηλον αυτού και επεισμάτωσε την καρδίαν αυτού, ώστε να μη επιστρέψη εις Κύριον τον Θεόν του Ισραήλ.
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.
Πάντες προσέτι οι πρώτοι των ιερέων και ο λαός ηθέτησαν καθ υπερβολήν κατά πάντα τα βδελύγματα των εθνών και εμίαναν τον οίκον του Κυρίου, τον οποίον ηγίασεν εν Ιερουσαλήμ.
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.
Και παρήγγειλεν εις αυτούς Κύριος ο Θεός των πατέρων αυτών διά χειρός των απεσταλμένων αυτού, εγειρόμενος πρωΐ και εξαποστέλλων· διότι εφείδετο του λαού αυτού και του κατοικητηρίου αυτού.
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.
Αλλ' αυτοί εχλεύαζον τους απεσταλμένους του Θεού και κατεφρόνουν τους λόγους αυτού και έσκωπτον τους προφήτας αυτού, εωσού η οργή του Κυρίου ανέβη κατά του λαού αυτού, ώστε δεν ήτο θεραπεία·
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.
διά τούτο έφερεν επ' αυτούς τον βασιλέα των Χαλδαίων, και εθανάτωσε τους νεανίσκους αυτών εν μαχαίρα εντός του οίκου του αγιαστηρίου αυτών, και δεν εφείσθη νέου ή παρθένου, γέροντος η κεκυφότος· πάντας παρέδωκεν εις την χείρα αυτού.
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.
Και πάντα τα σκεύη του οίκου του Θεού, μεγάλα και μικρά, και τους θησαυρούς του οίκου του Κυρίου και τους θησαυρούς του βασιλέως και των αρχόντων αυτού, τα πάντα έφερεν εις Βαβυλώνα.
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.
Και κατέκαυσαν τον οίκον του Θεού και κατέσκαψαν το τείχος της Ιερουσαλήμ, και πάντα τα παλάτια αυτής κατέκαυσαν εν πυρί, και πάντα τα πολύτιμα σκεύη αυτής ηφάνισαν·
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.
Και τους εκφυγόντας την μάχαιραν μετώκισεν εις Βαβυλώνα, όπου ήσαν δούλοι εις αυτόν και εις τους υιούς αυτού, μέχρι του καιρού της βασιλείας των Περσών·
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.
διά να πληρωθή ο λόγος του Κυρίου ο διά στόματος Ιερεμίου, εωσού η γη χαρή τα σάββατα αυτής· διότι πάντα τον καιρόν της ερημώσεως αυτής εφύλαττε σάββατον, εωσού συμπληρωθώσιν εβδομήκοντα έτη.
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfillment 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,
Εν δε τω πρώτω έτει Κύρου του βασιλέως της Περσίας, διά να πληρωθή ο λόγος του Κυρίου ο διά στόματος Ιερεμίου, διήγειρεν ο Κύριος το πνεύμα του Κύρου βασιλέως της Περσίας, και διεκήρυξε διά παντός του βασιλείου αυτού, και μάλιστα εγγράφως, λέγων,
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.
Ούτω λέγει Κύρος ο βασιλεύς της Περσίας· πάντα τα βασίλεια της γης έδωκεν εις εμέ Κύριος ο Θεός του ουρανού· και αυτός προσέταξεν εις εμέ να οικοδομήσω εις αυτόν οίκον εν Ιερουσαλήμ, ήτις είναι εν τη Ιουδαία· τις εξ υμών είναι εκ παντός του λαού αυτού; Κύριος ο Θεός αυτού έστω μετ' αυτού, και ας αναβή.
