2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of Judah chose Josiah’s son Jehoahaz and appointed him as the king in Jerusalem.
Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ng bayan ng lupain si Joachaz na anak ni Josias, at ginawa siyang hari na kahalili ng kaniyang ama sa Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz was 23 years old when he became the king, but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months.
Si Joachaz ay may dalawang pu't tatlong taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing tatlong buwan sa Jerusalem.
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.
At inalis siya sa Jerusalem ng hari sa Egipto, at pinabuwis ang lupain ng isang daang talentong pilak at ng isang talentong ginto.
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.
At inihalal na hari sa Juda at sa Jerusalem ng hari sa Egipto si Eliacim na kaniyang kapatid, at pinalitan ang kaniyang pangalan ng Joacim. At kinuha ni Nechao si Joachaz na kaniyang kapatid, at dinala niya siya sa Egipto.
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.
Si Joacim ay may dalawang pu't limang taon nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing labing isang taon, sa Jerusalem: at siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon niyang Dios.
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.
Laban sa kaniya ay umahon si Nabucodonosor na hari sa Babilonia, at tinanikalaan siya, upang dalhin siya sa Babilonia.
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.
Si Nabucodonosor ay nagdala naman ng mga sisidlan ng bahay ng Panginoon sa Babilonia, at inilagay sa kaniyang templo sa Babilonia.
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].
Ang iba nga sa mga gawa ni Joacim, at ang kaniyang mga karumaldumal na kaniyang ginawa, at ang nasumpungan sa kaniya, narito, nangasusulat sa aklat ng mga hari sa Israel at Juda: at si Joachin, na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
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.
Si Joachin ay may walong taong gulang nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari: at siya'y nagharing tatlong buwan at sangpung araw sa Jerusalem: at siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon.
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.
At sa pagpihit ng taon, si Nabucodonosor ay nagsugo, at dinala siya sa Babilonia, pati ng mga mainam na sisidlan ng bahay ng Panginoon at ginawang hari si Zedecias na kaniyang kapatid sa Juda at Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 11 years.
Si Zedecias ay may dalawang pu't isang taong gulang nang siya'y magpasimulang maghari; at siya'y nagharing labing isang taon sa Jerusalem:
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].
At siya'y gumawa ng masama sa paningin ng Panginoon niyang Dios; siya'y hindi nagpakababa sa harap ni Jeremias na propeta na nagsasalita ng galing sa bibig ng Panginoon.
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.
At siya rin nama'y nanghimagsik laban sa haring Nabucodonosor, na siyang nagpasumpa sa kaniya sa pangalan ng Dios: nguni't pinapagmatigas niya ang kaniyang ulo at pinapagmatigas niya ang kaniyang puso sa panunumbalik sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel.
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].
Bukod dito'y lahat ng mga pinuno ng mga saserdote, at ang bayan, ay nagsisalangsang na mainam ayon sa lahat na karumaldumal ng mga bansa; at kanilang dinumhan ang bahay ng Panginoon na kaniyang itinalaga sa Jerusalem.
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.
At ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, nagsugo sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga sugo, na bumangong maaga at nagsugo, sapagka't siya'y nagdalang habag sa kaniyang bayan, at sa kaniyang tahanang dako:
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].
Nguni't kanilang tinuya ang mga sugo ng Dios, at niwalang kabuluhan ang kaniyang mga salita, at dinusta ang kaniyang mga propeta hanggang sa ang pagiinit ng Panginoon ay bumugso laban sa kaniyang bayan hanggang sa mawalan ng kagamutan.
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.
Kaya't dinala niya sa kanila ang hari ng mga Caldeo, na siyang pumatay sa kanilang mga binata sa pamamagitan ng tabak sa bahay ng kanilang santuario, at hindi nagkaroon ng habag sa binata, o sa dalaga, sa matanda o sa may uban: ibinigay niya silang lahat sa kaniyang kamay.
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.
At lahat ng mga kasangkapan ng bahay ng Dios, malaki at maliit, at ang mga kayamanan ng bahay ng Panginoon, at ang mga kayamanan ng hari, at ng kaniyang mga prinsipe; lahat ng mga ito'y dinala niya sa Babilonia.
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.
At sinunog nila ang bahay ng Dios, at ibinagsak ang kuta ng Jerusalem, at sinunog sa apoy ang lahat na bahay hari niya, at giniba ang lahat na mainam na sisidlan niyaon.
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].
At ang mga nakatanan sa tabak, dinala niya sa Babilonia; at mga naging alipin niya at ng kaniyang mga anak hanggang sa paghahari ng kaharian ng Persia:
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.
Upang ganapin ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng bibig ni Jeremias, hanggang sa ang lupain ay nagalak sa kaniyang mga sabbath: sapagka't habang giba ay kaniyang ipinagdidiwang ang sabbath, upang ganapin ang pitong pung taon.
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:
Sa unang taon nga ni Ciro na hari sa Persia, upang ang salita ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng bibig ni Jeremias ay maganap, kinilos ng Panginoon ang loob ni Ciro na hari sa Persia, na siya'y nagtanyag sa kaniyang buong kaharian, at isinulat din naman, na sinasabi,
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.”
Ganito ang sabi ni Ciro na hari sa Persia: Lahat ng kaharian sa lupa ay ibinigay sa akin ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng langit; at kaniyang binilinan ako na ipagtayo siya ng isang bahay sa Jerusalem, na nasa Juda. Sinomang mayroon sa inyo sa buong kaniyang bayan, sumakaniya nawa ang Panginoon niyang Dios, at umahon siya.
