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.
Tulit ergo populus terræ Ioachaz filium Iosiæ, et constituit regem pro patre suo in Ierusalem.
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.
Vigintitrium annorum erat Ioachaz, cum regnare cœpisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem.
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.
Amovit autem eum rex Ægypti cum venisset in Ierusalem, et condemnavit terram centum talentis argenti, et talento auri.
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.
Constituitque pro eo regem, Eliakim fratrem eius, super Iudam et Ierusalem: et vertit nomen eius Ioakim: ipsum vero Ioachaz tulit secum, et abduxit in Ægyptum.
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.
Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioakim cum regnare cœpisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: fecitque malum coram Domino Deo suo.
6 And Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him with brazen fetters, and carried him away to Babylon.
Contra hunc ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Chaldæorum, et vinctum catenis duxit in Babylonem.
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.
Ad quam et vasa Domini transtulit, et posuit ea in templo suo.
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.
Reliqua autem verborum Ioakim, et abominationum eius, quas operatus est, et quæ inventa sunt in eo, continentur in Libro regum Iuda et Israel. Regnavit autem Ioachin filius eius pro eo.
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.
Octo annorum erat Ioachin cum regnare cœpisset, et tribus mensibus, ac decem diebus regnavit in Ierusalem, fecitque malum in conspectu Domini.
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.
Cumque anni circulus volveretur, misit Nabuchodonosor rex, qui adduxerunt eum in Babylonem, asportatis simul pretiosissimis vasis domus Domini: Regem vero constituit Sedeciam patruum eius super Iudam et Ierusalem.
11 Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Viginti et unius anni erat Sedecias cum regnare cœpisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
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;
Fecitque malum in oculis Domini Dei sui, nec erubuit faciem Ieremiæ prophetæ, loquentis ad se ex ore Domini.
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.
A rege quoque Nabuchodonosor recessit, qui adiuraverat eum per Deum: et induravit cervicem suam et cor ut non reverteretur ad Dominum Deum Israel.
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.
Sed et universi principes sacerdotum, et populus, prævaricati sunt inique iuxta universas abominationes Gentium, et polluerunt domum Domini, quam sanctificaverat sibi in Ierusalem.
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.
Mittebat autem Dominus Deus patrum suorum ad illos per manum nunciorum suorum de nocte consurgens, et quotidie commonens: eo quod parceret populo et habitaculo suo.
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.
At illi subsannabant nuncios Dei, et parvipendebant sermones eius, illudebantque prophetis, donec ascenderet furor Domini in populum eius, et esset nulla curatio.
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.
Adduxit enim super eos regem Chaldæorum, et interfecit iuvenes eorum gladio in domo sanctuarii sui, non est misertus adolescentis, et virginis, et senis, nec decrepiti quidem, sed omnes tradidit in manibus eius.
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.
Universaque vasa domus Domini tam maiora, quam minora, et thesauros templi, et regis, et principum transtulit in Babylonem.
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.
Incenderunt hostes domum Dei, destruxeruntque murum Ierusalem, universas turres combusserunt, et quidquid pretiosum fuerat, demoliti sunt.
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.
Siquis evaserat gladium, ductus in Babylonem servivit regi et filiis eius, donec imperaret rex Persarum,
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.
et compleretur sermo Domini ex ore Ieremiæ, et celebraret terra sabbata sua: cunctis enim diebus desolationis egit sabbatum usque dum complerentur septuaginta anni.
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,
Anno autem primo Cyri regis Persarum ad explendum sermonem Domini, quem locutus fuerat per os Ieremiæ, suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum: qui iussit prædicari in universo regno suo, etiam per scripturam, dicens:
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.
Hæc dicit Cyrus rex Persarum: Omnia regna terræ dedit mihi Dominus Deus cæli, et ipse præcepit mihi ut ædificarem ei domum in Ierusalem, quæ est in Iudæa: quis ex vobis est in omni populo eius? sit Dominus Deis suus cum eo, et ascendat.
