II Oihanaalii 36
1 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.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and they appointed him king in place of his father, in Jerusalem.
2 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.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem.
3 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.
Then the king of Egypt, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, removed him, and condemned the land to one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
4 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.
And he appointed Eliakim, his brother, as king in his place, over Judah and Jerusalem. And he changed his name to Jehoiakim. Truly, he took Jehoahaz with him, and he led him away to Egypt.
5 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.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil before the Lord his God.
6 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.
Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the Chaldeans, ascended against him, and led him bound in chains to Babylon.
7 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.
And to there, he also took away the vessels of the Lord, and he placed them in his temple.
8 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.
But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and his abominations that he worked, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then his son, Jehoiachin, reigned in his place.
9 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.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months and ten days in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
10 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.
And when the course of a year had turned, king Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, carrying away, at the same time, the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord. Truly, he appointed his uncle, Zedekiah, as king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 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.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 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.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. And he did not show remorse before the face of the prophet Jeremiah, who was speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
13 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.
Also, he withdrew from king Nebuchadnezzar, who had bound him by an oath to God, and he hardened his own neck and his own heart, so that he did not return to the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 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.
Then too, all the leaders of the priests, with the people, transgressed iniquitously, in accord with all the abominations of the Gentiles. And they polluted the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
15 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.
Then the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising in the night and daily admonishing them. For he was lenient to his people and to his habitation.
16 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.
But they ridiculed the messengers of God, and they gave little weight to his words, and they mocked the prophets, until the fury of the Lord ascended against his people, and there was no remedy.
17 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.
For he led over them the king of the Chaldeans. And he put to death their young men by the sword, in the house of his sanctuary. There was no pity for adolescents, nor virgins, nor the elderly, nor even for the disabled. Instead, he delivered them all into his hands.
18 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.
And all the vessels of the house of Lord, as much the greater as the lesser, and the treasures of the temple, and of the king and the rulers, he carried away to Babylon.
19 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.
The enemies set fire to the house of God, and they destroyed the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the towers. And whatever was precious, they demolished.
20 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;
If anyone had escaped from the sword, he was led into Babylon. And he served the king and his sons, until the king of Persia would command,
21 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.
and the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah would be fulfilled, and the land would celebrate her Sabbaths. For during all the days of the desolation, she kept a Sabbath, until the seventy years were completed.
22 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,
Then, in the first year of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus, the king of the Persians, who commanded this to be proclaimed throughout his entire kingdom, and also in writing, saying:
23 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.
“Thus says Cyrus, the king of the Persians: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. And he has instructed me that I should build for him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea. Who among you is from his entire people? May the Lord his God be with him, and let him ascend.”
