2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.
Tulit ergo populus terrae Ioachaz filium Iosiae, et constituit regem pro patre suo in Ierusalem.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Vigintitrium annorum erat Ioachaz, cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem.
3 The king of Egypt removed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
Amovit autem eum rex Aegypti cum venisset in Ierusalem, et condemnavit terram centum talentis argenti, et talento auri.
4 The king of Egypt made Eliakim, who was the brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem (and changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim). Then Necho took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt.
Constituitque pro eo regem, Eliakim fratrem eius, super Iuda et Ierusalem: et vertit nomen eius Ioakim: ipsum vero Ioachaz tulit secum, et abduxit in Aegyptum.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God.
Vigintiquinque annorum erat Ioakim cum regnare coepisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: fecitque malum coram Domino Deo suo.
6 Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked him and bound him in chains to lead him away to Babylon.
Contra hunc ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Chaldaeorum, et vinctum catenis duxit in Babylonem.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the objects in the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his palace at Babylon.
Ad quam et vasa Domini transtulit, et posuit ea in templo suo.
8 As for the other matters concerning Jehoiakim, the disgusting things that he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then Jehoiachin, his son, became king in his place.
Reliqua autem verborum Ioakim, et abominationum eius, quas operatus est, et quae inventa sunt in eo, continentur in Libro regum Iuda et Israel. Regnavit autem Ioachin filius eius pro eo.
9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
Octo annorum erat Ioachin cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus, ac decem diebus regnavit in Ierusalem, fecitque malum in conspectu Domini.
10 In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar sent men and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable things from the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah, his relative, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Cumque anni circulus volveretur, misit Nabuchodonosor rex, qui adduxerunt eum in Babylonem, asportatis simul pretiosissimis vasis domus Domini: Regem vero constituit Sedechiam patruum eius super Iuda et Ierusalem.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Viginti et unius anni erat Sedechias cum regnare coepisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem.
12 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of Yahweh.
Fecitque malum in oculis Domini Dei sui, nec erubuit faciem Ieremiae prophetae, loquentis ad se ex ore Domini.
13 Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear loyalty to him by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the 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 Moreover, all the leaders of the priests and the people were extremely unfaithful, and they followed the disgusting practices of the nations. They polluted the house of Yahweh which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
Sed et universi principes sacerdotum, et populus, praevaricati sunt inique iuxta universas abominationes Gentium, et polluerunt domum Domini, quam sanctificaverat sibi in Ierusalem.
15 Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them by his messengers again and again, because he had compassion on his people and on the place where he lives.
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 But they mocked God's messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no help for it.
At illi subsannabant nuncios Dei, et parvipendebant sermones eius, illudebantque prophetis, donec ascenderet furor Domini in populum eius, et esset nulla curatio.
17 So God brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and had no compassion on young men or virgins, old men or the gray-haired. God gave them all into his hand.
Adduxit enim super eos regem Chaldaeorum, 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 All the furnishings of the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and his officials—all these he took to Babylon.
Universaque vasa domus Domini tam maiora, quam minora, et thesauros templi, et regis, et principum transtulit in Babylonem.
19 They burned down the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all the beautiful things in it.
Incenderunt hostes domum Dei, destruxeruntque murum Ierusalem, universas turres combusserunt, et quidquid pretiosum fuerat, demoliti sunt.
20 The king carried away to Babylon those who had escaped the sword. They became servants for him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia.
Siquis evaserat gladium, ductus in Babylonem servivit regi et filiis eius, donec imperaret rex Persarum,
21 This happened to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land should have enjoyed its Sabbath rests. It observed its Sabbath for as long as it lay abandoned, in order to pass seventy years in this way.
ut compleretur sermo Domini ex ore Ieremiae, et celebraret terra sabbata sua: cunctis enim diebus desolationis egit sabbatum usque dum complerentur septuaginta anni.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be carried out, Yahweh motivated the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing. He said,
Anno autem primo Cyri regis Persarum ad explendum sermonem Domini, quem locutus fuerat per os Ieremiae, suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum: qui iussit praedicari in universo regno suo, etiam per scripturam, dicens:
23 “This is what Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has commanded me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh your God, be with you. Let him go up to the land.”
Haec dicit Cyrus rex Persarum: Omnia regna terrae dedit mihi Dominus Deus caeli, et ipse praecepit mihi ut aedificarem ei domum in Ierusalem, quae est in Iudaea: quis ex vobis est in omni populo eius? sit Dominus Deis suus cum eo, et ascendat.
