And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao.

And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead.

17 Et il fit monter contre eux le roi des Chaldéens, et tua leurs jeunes hommes par l’épée dans la maison de leur sanctuaire; et il n’eut pas compassion du jeune homme, ni de la vierge, [ni] de l’ancien, ni du vieillard: il les livra tous entre ses mains.
And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands.

21 afin que fût accomplie la parole de l’Éternel, [dite] par la bouche de Jérémie, jusqu’à ce que le pays ait joui de ses sabbats. Tous les jours de sa désolation il se reposa, jusqu’à ce que 70 ans soient accomplis.

22 Et la première année de Cyrus, roi de Perse, afin que soit accomplie la parole de l’Éternel [dite] par la bouche de Jérémie, l’Éternel réveilla l’esprit de Cyrus, roi de Perse; et il fit une proclamation dans tout son royaume, et la publia aussi par écrit, disant:
In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfilment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
23 Ainsi dit Cyrus, roi de Perse: L’Éternel, le Dieu des cieux, m’a donné tous les royaumes de la terre, et il m’a chargé de lui bâtir une maison à Jérusalem, qui est en Juda. Qui d’entre vous, quel qu’il soit, est de son peuple, – que l’Éternel, son Dieu, soit avec lui, et qu’il monte!
Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
