< 2 Chronicles 36 >

1 And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah and cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem.
國民立約西亞的兒子約哈斯在耶路撒冷接續他父作王。
2 Jehoahaz [is] a son of twenty-three years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem,
約哈斯登基的時候年二十三歲,在耶路撒冷作王三個月。
3 and the king of Egypt turns him aside in Jerusalem, and fines the land one hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold;
埃及王在耶路撒冷廢了他,又罰猶大國銀子一百他連得,金子一他連得。
4 and the king of Egypt causes his brother Eliakim to reign over Judah and Jerusalem, and turns his name to Jehoiakim; and Necho has taken his brother Jehoahaz and brings him to Egypt.
埃及王尼哥立約哈斯的哥哥以利雅敬作猶大和耶路撒冷的王,改名叫約雅敬,又將約哈斯帶到埃及去了。
5 Jehoiakim [is] a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and he does evil in the eyes of his God YHWH;
約雅敬登基的時候年二十五歲,在耶路撒冷作王十一年,行耶和華-他上帝眼中看為惡的事。
6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come up against him, and binds him in bronze chains to take him away to Babylon.
巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒上來攻擊他,用銅鍊鎖着他,要將他帶到巴比倫去。
7 And Nebuchadnezzar has brought from the vessels of the house of YHWH to Babylon, and puts them in his temple in Babylon.
尼布甲尼撒又將耶和華殿裏的器皿帶到巴比倫,放在他神的廟裏。
8 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he has done, and that which is found against him, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Israel and Judah, and his son Jehoiachin reigns in his stead.
約雅敬其餘的事和他所行可憎的事,並他一切的行為,都寫在以色列和猶大列王記上。他兒子約雅斤接續他作王。
9 Jehoiachin [is] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH;
約雅斤登基的時候年八歲,在耶路撒冷作王三個月零十天,行耶和華眼中看為惡的事。
10 and at the turn of the year King Nebuchadnezzar has sent and brings him to Babylon with the desirable vessels of the house of YHWH, and causes his brother Zedekiah to reign over Judah and Jerusalem.
過了一年,尼布甲尼撒差遣人將約雅斤和耶和華殿裏各樣寶貴的器皿帶到巴比倫,就立約雅斤的叔叔 西底家作猶大和耶路撒冷的王。
11 Zedekiah [is] a son of twenty-one years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem;
西底家登基的時候年二十一歲,在耶路撒冷作王十一年,
12 and he does evil in the eyes of his God YHWH, he has not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of YHWH;
行耶和華-他上帝眼中看為惡的事。先知耶利米以耶和華的話勸他,他仍不在耶利米面前自卑。
13 and he has also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardens his neck and strengthens his heart against turning back to YHWH, God of Israel.
尼布甲尼撒曾使他指着上帝起誓,他卻背叛,強項硬心,不歸服耶和華-以色列的上帝。
14 Also, all the heads of the priests and the people have multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of YHWH that He has sanctified in Jerusalem.
眾祭司長和百姓也大大犯罪,效法外邦人一切可憎的事,污穢耶和華在耶路撒冷分別為聖的殿。
15 And YHWH, God of their fathers, sends to them by the hand of His messengers—rising early and sending—for He has had pity on His people and on His habitation,
耶和華-他們列祖的上帝因為愛惜自己的民和他的居所,從早起來差遣使者去警戒他們。
16 but they are mocking at the messengers of God, and despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets, until the going up of the fury of YHWH against His people—until there is no healing.
他們卻嘻笑上帝的使者,藐視他的言語,譏誚他的先知,以致耶和華的忿怒向他的百姓發作,無法可救。
17 And He causes the king of the Chaldeans to go up against them, and he slays their chosen ones by the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and has had no pity on young man and virgin, old man and very aged—He has given the whole into his hand.
所以,耶和華使迦勒底人的王來攻擊他們,在他們聖殿裏用刀殺了他們的壯丁,不憐恤他們的少男處女、老人白叟。耶和華將他們都交在迦勒底王手裏。
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king and of his princes—he has brought the whole to Babylon.
迦勒底王將上帝殿裏的大小器皿與耶和華殿裏的財寶,並王和眾首領的財寶,都帶到巴比倫去了。
19 And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of Jerusalem, and they have burned all its palaces with fire, and all its desirable vessels—to destruction.
迦勒底人焚燒上帝的殿,拆毀耶路撒冷的城牆,用火燒了城裏的宮殿,毀壞了城裏寶貴的器皿。
20 And he removes those left of the sword to Babylon, and they are to him and to his sons for servants, until the reigning of the kingdom of Persia,
凡脫離刀劍的,迦勒底王都擄到巴比倫去,作他和他子孫的僕婢,直到波斯國興起來。
21 to fulfill the word of YHWH in the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land has enjoyed its Sabbaths; all the days of the desolation it kept Sabbath—to the fullness of seventy years.
這就應驗耶和華藉耶利米口所說的話:地享受安息;因為地土荒涼便守安息,直滿了七十年。
22 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the completion of the word of YHWH in the mouth of Jeremiah, YHWH has awoken the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he causes an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,
波斯王塞魯士元年,耶和華為要應驗藉耶利米口所說的話,就激動波斯王塞魯士的心,使他下詔通告全國,說:
23 “Thus said Cyrus king of Persia: YHWH, God of the heavens, has given all kingdoms of the earth to me, and He has laid a charge on me to build a house for Him in Jerusalem which [is] in Judah; who is among you of all His people? His God YHWH [is] with him, and he goes up!”
「波斯王塞魯士如此說:耶和華-天上的上帝已將天下萬國賜給我,又囑咐我在猶大的耶路撒冷為他建造殿宇。你們中間凡作他子民的,可以上去,願耶和華-他的上帝與他同在。」
