2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of Judah chose Josiah’s son Jehoahaz and appointed him as the king in Jerusalem.
A LAILA, lawe na kanaka o ka aina ia Iehoaza, ke keiki a Iosia, a hoolilo ia ia i alii ma Ierusalema mahope o kona makuakane.
2 Jehoahaz was 23 years old when he became the king, but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months.
He iwakalua na makahiki a me kumamakolu o Iehoaza i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema ekolu malama.
3 King Neco of Egypt [captured him and] prevented him from ruling any longer. He also forced the people of Judah to pay him a tax of almost four tons of silver and about 75 pounds of gold.
A hoopau ke alii o Aigupita i kona noho alii ana ma Ierusalema, a auhau oia i ka aina i hookahi haneri talena kala, a hookahi talena gula.
4 The king of Egypt appointed Jehoahaz’s [younger] brother Eliakim to be the king of Judah. He changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. After Neco captured Jehoahaz, he took him to Egypt.
A hoolilo ke alii o Aigupita ia Eliakima kona kaikuaana i alii maluna o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema, a hoololi i kona inoa o Iehoiakima: a lalau iho o Neko ia Iehoaza i kona kaikaina a lawe aku ia ia i Aigupita.
5 Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 11 years. He did things that Yahweh his God considers to be evil.
He iwakaluakumamalima makahiki o Iehoiakima i kona wa i alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema he umikumamakahi mau makahiki; a hana ino ia imua o Iehova kona Akua.
6 Then the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked Jehoiakim’s army. They [captured Jehoiakim and] bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
Alaila, pii mai la o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, a hana paa ia ia i na kupee keleawe, a lawe aku ia ia i Babulona.
7 Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took valuable things from the temple; they took them to Babylon and put them in king [Nebuchadnezzar’s] palace there.
Ua lawe aku o Nebukaneza i kekahi o na kiaha o ka hale o Iehova i Babulona, a waiho ia mau mea iloko o kona luakini ma Babulona.
8 A record of the other things that happened while Jehoiakim was ruling, the detestable things that he did, including the evil things that people said that he did, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’. After [he was taken to Babylon], his son Jehoiachin became the king [of Judah].
A o na mea i koe a Iehoiakima i hana'i, a me na mea hoopailuaia ana i hana'i, a me ka mea i loaa iloko ona, aia hoi, ua kakauia ia mau mea iloko o ka buke no na'lii o Iseraela a me Iuda; a noho alii iho la o Iehoiakina kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
9 Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months and ten days. He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil.
Ewalu makahiki ko Iehoia kina i kona wa i alii ai; a noho alii iho la ia ekolu malama a me na la he umi ma Ierusalema; a hana ino ia imua o Iehova.
10 During the spring of the next year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent [soldiers] to bring him to Babylon. They also took to Babylon many valuable things from the temple of Yahweh. Then Nebuchadnezzar appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, to be the king of Judah.
A i ka pau ana o ka makahiki, hoouna mai ke alii o Nebukaneza, a lawe aku ia ia i Babulona me na ipu maikai o ka hale o Iehova, a hoolilo oia ia Zedekia kona hoahanau i alii maluna o ka Iuda a me Ierusalema.
11 Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 11 years.
He iwakaluakumamakahi makahiki o Zedekia i kona wa i noho alii ai, a noho alii iho la ia ma Ierusalema i na makahiki he umikumamakahi.
12 He did many things that Yahweh his God considered to be evil. And he did not humble himself when the prophet Jeremiah gave him a message from Yahweh [to warn him].
A hana ino ia imua o Iehova kona Akua, aole ia i hoohaahaa ia ia iho imua o Ieremia ke kaula i kana olelo ana, mai ka waha o Iehova mai.
13 He would not return to Yahweh, the God that the people of Israel [said that they worshiped]. Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to solemnly promise using God’s name [to be loyal to him]. Zedekiah became very stubborn.
Kipi no hoi ia i ke alii ia Nebukaneza, ka mea nana i kena mai ia ia e hoohiki i ke Akua; hooolea ia i kona a-i, a hoopaakiki ia i kona naau i huli ole ai ia Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
14 Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and also the people [of Judah] became more wicked again, doing all the detestable things that the people of the other nations did, and causing the temple in Jerusalem that Yahweh had caused to be holy to become [an] unacceptable [place to worship him].
A o na luna a pau o na kahuna, a me na kanaka, hoonui lakou i ka lakou hana hewa ana e like me na mea ino a pau o na lahuikanaka; a hoohaumia lakou i ka hale o Iehova ka mea ana i hoano ai ma Ierusalema.
15 Yahweh, the God whom the ancestors [of the people of Judah belonged to/worshiped], gave messages to his prophets many times, and the prophets told those messages to the people of Judah. Yahweh did that because he pitied his people and did not want his temple to be destroyed.
A hoouna o Iehova ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna io lakou la ma kana poe elele, e ala ana i ke kakahiaka nui, a e hoouna ana, no ka mea, miuamina ia i kona poe kanaka, a me kona wahi i noho ai.
16 But the people continually made fun of God’s messengers. They despised God’s messages. They ridiculed his prophets, until finally God became extremely angry with his people, with the result that nothing could stop him [from destroying Judah].
Aka, ua akaaka lakou i ka poe elele a ke Akua, hoowahawaha i ka lakou mau olelo, a hana ino aku i kana poe kaula, a aia mai la ka huhu o Iehova i kona poe kanaka, aole hoi mea e ola'i.
17 He incited the king of Babylonia to attack [Judah with his army]. They killed the young men with their swords, even in the temple. They did not spare/pity anyone, young men or young women or old people. God enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to kill all of them.
No ia mea, hoouna mai la oia io lakou la i ke alii o ko Kaledea, a penehi ia i ko lakou poe kanaka ui i ka pahikaua iloko o ko lakou hale hoano; aole i aloha oia i ke kanaka ui, aole hoi i ke kaikamahine, aole i ka elemakule a me ke kolopupu; haawi oia ia lakou a pau loa iloko o kona lima.
18 His soldiers took to Babylon all the things that were used in God’s temple—big things and little things, all the valuable things, and the valuable things that belonged to the king and his officials.
A me na kiaha o ka hale o ke Akua, na mea nui a me na mea liilii. a me na waihona mea laa o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka waihona waiwai o ke alii a me na kaukaualii ona; lawe ia i keia mau mea a pau loa i Babulona.
19 They burned the temple, and they broke down the wall surrounding Jerusalem. They burned all the palaces [in Jerusalem] and destroyed all the remaining valuable things there.
A puhi lakou i ka hale o ke Akua, a wawahi lakou i ka pa o Ierusalema, a puhi lakou i na hale alii malaila a pau i ke ahi, a wawahi i ko laila mau kiaha maikai a pau.
20 Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers took to Babylon the remaining people who had not been killed with their swords. Then those people became the king’s slaves and his son’s slaves, until the [army of the] king of Persia conquered [the army of Babylonia].
A o ke koena, ka poe i pakele i ka pahikaua, lawe aku la oia ia lakou i Babulona; a lilo lakou i poe kauwa nana, a na kana poe keiki a hiki i ka lanakila ana o ke aupuni o Peresia;
21 [Moses had said that every seventh year the people must not plant their fields; they must allow the soil to rest. But the people had not done that. So after the army of Babylonia destroyed Judah, ] the soil was allowed to rest. That continued for 70 years, fulfilling what Yahweh told Jeremiah and what Jeremiah had predicted/prophesied would happen.
I hookoia ka olelo a Iehova ma ka waha o Ieremia, a hiki i ka wa i hoomaha ai ka aina i kona mau Sabati; no ka mea, i kona wa i mehameha ai, hoomaha no ia, a lawa no na makahiki he kanahiku.
22 During the first year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, in order that what Yahweh told Jeremiah would happen would occur, Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this and proclaim it throughout his kingdom:
I ka makahiki mua o Kuro ke alii o Peresia, i hookoia'i ka olelo a Iehova ma ka waha o Ieremia, hoala ae o Iehova i ka naau o Kuro, ke alii o Peresia, a kena aku oia e kukala ma kona aupuni a pau, a ma ka palapala hoi i aku la,
23 “I, Cyrus, the king of Persia, declare that Yahweh, the God [who rules] in heaven, has enabled me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms of this world. And he wants me to [command that my workers] build a temple {a temple be built} for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of his people living among you people of Persia are allowed to go to Jerusalem. And I will pray that Yahweh will be with them.”
Peneia i olelo ai o Kuro ke alii o Peresia, Ua haawi mai o Iehova ke Akua o ka lani ia'u i na aupuni a pau o ka honua, a ua kauoha mai no hoi oia ia'u e hana i hale nona ma Ierusalema, ma Iuda. Owai la ka mea mawaena o oukou no kona poe kanaka a pau? e pii ae oia, a, o Iehova kona Akua kekahi pu me ia.
