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.
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 Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three mouths in Jerusalem.
E rua tekau ma toru nga tau o Iehoahata i tona kingitanga, a e toru nga marama i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and amerced the land in an 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 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried 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 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.
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 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry 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 carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at 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 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.
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 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.
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 And at the return of the year 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.
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 and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:
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 and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of 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 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, 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 Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the heathen; and they polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed 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 And the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
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 mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
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 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, 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 ancient: he gave them all into his hand.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
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 to fulfill 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 fulfill threescore and ten years.
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 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD 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,
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 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whosoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
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.
