2 Tawarikh 36

1 Rakyat negeri menjemput Yoahas anak Yosia, dan mengangkat dia menjadi raja di Yerusalem menggantikan ayahnya.

Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.

2 Yoahas berumur dua puluh tiga tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga bulan lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.

Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

3 Raja Mesir memecatnya dari pemerintahannya di Yerusalem dan mendenda negeri itu seratus talenta perak dan satu talenta emas.

The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

4 Kemudian raja Mesir itu mengangkat Elyakim, saudara Yoahas, menjadi raja atas Yehuda dan Yerusalem, dan menukar namanya dengan Yoyakim. Tetapi Yoahas, saudaranya itu, ditawan oleh Nekho, dan dibawa ke Mesir.

The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

5 Yoyakim berumur dua puluh lima tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan sebelas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, Allahnya.

Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.

6 Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, maju melawan dia, membelenggunya dengan rantai tembaga untuk membawanya ke Babel.

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.

7 Juga beberapa perkakas rumah TUHAN dibawa Nebukadnezar ke Babel dan ditempatkan di istananya di Babel.

Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

8 Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoyakim, segala kekejian yang dilakukannya dan kesalahan yang ada padanya, sesungguhnya semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab raja-raja Israel dan Yehuda. Maka Yoyakhin, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.

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 place.

9 Yoyakhin berumur delapan belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga bulan sepuluh hari lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.

Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.

10 Pada pergantian tahun raja Nebukadnezar menyuruh membawa dia ke Babel beserta perkakas-perkakas yang indah-indah dari rumah TUHAN dan Zedekia, saudara ayah Yoyakhin, menjadi raja atas Yehuda dan Yerusalem.

At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of the LORD’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

11 Zedekia berumur dua puluh satu tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan sebelas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

12 Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN, Allahnya, dan tidak merendahkan diri di hadapan nabi Yeremia, yang datang membawa pesan TUHAN.

He did that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.

13 Lagipula ia memberontak terhadap raja Nebukadnezar, yang telah menyuruhnya bersumpah demi Allah. Ia menegarkan tengkuknya dan mengeraskan hatinya dan tidak berbalik kepada TUHAN, Allah Israel.

He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

14 Juga semua pemimpin di antara para imam dan rakyat berkali-kali berubah setia dengan mengikuti segala kekejian bangsa-bangsa lain. Rumah yang dikuduskan TUHAN di Yerusalem itu dinajiskan mereka.

Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the LORD’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

15 Namun TUHAN, Allah nenek moyang mereka, berulang-ulang mengirim pesan melalui utusan-utusan-Nya, karena Ia sayang kepada umat-Nya dan tempat kediaman-Nya.

The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;

16 Tetapi mereka mengolok-olok utusan-utusan Allah itu, menghina segala firman-Nya, dan mengejek nabi-nabi-Nya. Oleh sebab itu murka TUHAN bangkit terhadap umat-Nya, sehingga tidak mungkin lagi pemulihan.

but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.

17 TUHAN menggerakkan raja orang Kasdim melawan mereka. Raja itu membunuh teruna mereka dengan pedang dalam rumah kudus mereka, dan tidak menyayangkan teruna atau gadis, orang tua atau orang ubanan--semua diserahkan TUHAN ke dalam tangannya.

Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.

18 Seluruh perkakas rumah Allah, yang besar dan yang kecil, serta harta benda dari rumah TUHAN, harta benda raja dan harta benda para panglimanya, semuanya dibawanya ke Babel.

All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the LORD’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

19 Mereka membakar rumah Allah, merobohkan tembok Yerusalem dan membakar segala puri dalam kota itu dengan api, sehingga musnahlah segala perabotannya yang indah-indah.

They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.

20 Mereka yang masih tinggal dan yang luput dari pedang diangkutnya ke Babel dan mereka menjadi budaknya dan budak anak-anaknya sampai kerajaan Persia berkuasa.

He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,

21 Dengan demikian genaplah firman TUHAN yang diucapkan Yeremia, sampai tanah itu pulih dari akibat dilalaikannya tahun-tahun sabatnya, karena tanah itu tandus selama menjalani sabat, hingga genaplah tujuh puluh tahun.

to fulfill the LORD’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

22 Pada tahun pertama zaman Koresh, raja negeri Persia, TUHAN menggerakkan hati Koresh, raja Persia itu untuk menggenapkan firman yang diucapkan oleh Yeremia, sehingga disiarkan di seluruh kerajaan Koresh secara lisan dan tulisan pengumuman ini:

Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the LORD’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

23 "Beginilah perintah Koresh, raja Persia: Segala kerajaan di bumi telah dikaruniakan kepadaku oleh TUHAN, Allah semesta langit. Ia menugaskan aku untuk mendirikan rumah bagi-Nya di Yerusalem, yang terletak di Yehuda. Siapa di antara kamu termasuk umat-Nya, TUHAN, Allahnya, menyertainya, dan biarlah ia berangkat pulang!"

“Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
