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.
Ndị ala ahụ kpọọrọ Jehoahaz, nwa nwoke Josaya mee ya eze na Jerusalem, nʼọnọdụ nna ya.
2 Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
Jehoahaz gbara iri afọ abụọ na atọ mgbe o bidoro ịchị, ma ọ chịrị na Jerusalem ọnwa atọ.
3 And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
Eze Ijipt chụdara ya site nʼọchịchị na Jerusalem, kwagide ndị Juda ka ha tụọra ya ụtụ narị talenti ọlaọcha na otu talenti ọlaedo.
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
Eze Ijipt mere Eliakịm, otu nwanne Jehoahaz, eze ndị Juda na Jerusalem. Ọ gụgharịrị aha Eliakịm ka ọ bụrụ Jehoiakim. Ma Neko duuru Jehoahaz nwanne nwoke Eliakịm gaa Ijipt.
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.
Jehoiakim gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na otu na Jerusalem. O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
Nebukadneza eze Babilọn busoro ya agha, jiri ụdọ bronz kee ya agbụ, nʼihi i duru ya gaa Babilọn.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
Nebukadneza bukọkwaara efere na iko ọlaedo dị nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, buru ha gaa buba ha nʼụlọeze ya dị na Babilọn.
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.
Akụkọ ọzọ niile gbasara ọchịchị Jehoiakim, na banyere ihe arụ niile o mere, na ihe niile a chọpụtara megide ya, ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel na Juda. Jehoiakin nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
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.
Jehoiakin gbara afọ iri na asatọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze, ọ chịrị naanị ọnwa atọ na abalị iri na Jerusalem. O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
10 And when the year had expired, 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.
Emesịa, nʼafọ nke ọzọ ya, Nebukadneza ziri ozi mee ka akpọrọ ya, na ọtụtụ ihe ndị dị oke ọnụahịa sitere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị, bulaa ha Babilọn nʼoge a. O mere nwanne nna Jehoiakin bụ Zedekaya, eze Juda na Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
Zedekaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na otu mgbe e mere ya eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na otu na Jerusalem.
12 And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD his God, [and] humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of the LORD.
O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, o wedaghị onwe ya ala nara ndụmọdụ Jeremaya bụ onye amụma, onye na-ekwu okwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
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 to the LORD God of Israel.
Ọzọkwa, o nupuru isi megide eze Nebukadneza, onye mere ka ọ ṅụọ iyi nʼaha Chineke. Ọ ghọrọ onye isiike, onye mechiri obi ya, jụ ichigharịkwute Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel.
14 Moreover, all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
Nʼime ka ihe dị njọ karịa, mmadụ niile, tinyere ndị ndu nʼetiti ndị nchụaja, nọgidere bụrụ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi, site nʼịgbaso omenaala rụrụ arụ nke mba niile gbara ha gburugburu. Ha merụrụ ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, nke o doro nsọ nʼime Jerusalem.
15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place:
Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna nna ha, sitere nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya gwa ha okwu mgbe na mgbe, ịdọ ha aka na ntị. O mere nke a nʼihi na o nwere obi ebere nʼebe ha nọ, na nʼebe ụlọnsọ ukwu ya dị.
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till [there was] no remedy.
Ma ha kwara ndị amụma Chineke ndị a emo, lelịa okwu Chineke ha wetara anya, chịa amụma ha buru ọchị, tutu ruo mgbe ha kpasuru ọnụma Onyenwe anyị megide ndị ya, ruo mgbe ihe ọbụla na-adịghịkwa nke pụrụ igbochi ngosipụta oke ọnụma a.
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, 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 him that stooped for age: he gave [them] all into his hand.
Ya mere, o welitara eze Kaldịa imegide ha, bụ onye ji mma agha gbuchapụ ụmụ okorobịa ha nʼụlọ ebe nsọ ha. O nweghịkwa ọmịiko nʼebe ụmụ okorobịa, maọbụ ụmụ agbọghọ dị, ndị okenye maọbụ ndị nrịa nrịa. Chineke weere ha niile nyefee ha nʼaka Nebukadneza.
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.
O sitere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke kpokọrọ ihe niile dị nʼime ya, ma ihe ukwu ma ihe nta, tinyere akụ niile dị nʼime ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, na nʼụlọeze, na nʼụlọ ndịisi ozi eze buru ha gaa Babilọn.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its goodly vessels.
Ha sunyere ụlọnsọ Chineke ọkụ, kwatukwa mgbidi Jerusalem. Ha sunyere ụlọeze niile ọkụ, mebikwaa ihe niile ndị bara uru dị nʼime ya.
20 And them that had escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia.
Ha buuru ndị fọdụrụ, bụ ndị niile gbanarịrị mma agha, gaa Babilọn, ha ghọrọ ya, ghọkwara ụmụ ya ndị nọchiri anya ya, ndị ohu, tutu ruo mgbe ehiwere alaeze Peshịa.
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 seventy years.
Ala ahụ nwere ụbọchị izuike niile kwesiri ya nʼebe o zuruoke, nʼoge niile nke ịtọgbọ nʼefu ya, o zuru ike, ruo mgbe iri afọ asaa ahụ zuru, nʼimezu okwu Onyenwe anyị kwuru site nʼọnụ Jeremaya onye amụma.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD [spoken] 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,
Ma nʼafọ mbụ nke ọchịchị Sairọs eze Peshịa, ime ka okwu Onyenwe anyị nke sitere nʼọnụ Jeremaya mezuo, Onyenwe anyị kpaliri mmụọ Sairọs, eze Peshịa ka o mee mkpọsa nʼalaeze ya niile, ma denyekwa ya nʼakwụkwọ iwu, sị,
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah. Who [is there] among you of all his people? The LORD his God [be] with him, and let him go up.
“Otu a ka Sairọs, eze Peshịa kwuru: “‘Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke eluigwe, e nyela m alaeze niile nke dị nʼụwa. O nyekwala m ọrụ iwuru ya ụlọnsọ na Jerusalem, nke dị na Juda. Ya mere, onye ya ọbụla nʼetiti ndị ya nwere ike ịga, ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke ha nọnyekwara ha.’”
