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 Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Yoahas berumur dua puluh tiga tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga bulan lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.
3 Raja Mesir memecatnya dari pemerintahannya di Yerusalem dan mendenda negeri itu seratus talenta perak dan satu talenta emas.
Then the king of Egypt took the kingdom from him in Jerusalem, and put on the land a tax of a 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.
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away 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 became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
6 Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, maju melawan dia, membelenggunya dengan rantai tembaga untuk membawanya ke Babel.
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against him, and took him away in chains to Babylon.
7 Juga beberapa perkakas rumah TUHAN dibawa Nebukadnezar ke Babel dan ditempatkan di istananya di Babel.
And Nebuchadnezzar took away some of the vessels of the Lord's house, and put them in the house of his god in 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 the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king 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 eighteen years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
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.
In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and took him away to Babylon, with the beautiful vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah, his father's 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 became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.
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 evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did not make himself low before Jeremiah the prophet who gave him the word of the Lord.
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.
And he took up arms against King Nebuchadnezzar, though he had made him take an oath by God; but he made his neck stiff and his heart hard, turning away from 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.
And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord 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.
And the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them by his servants, sending early and frequently, because he had pity on his people and on his living-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 put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.
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.
So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.
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.
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the stored wealth of the Lord's house and the wealth of the king and his chiefs, he took away 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.
And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.
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.
And all who had not come to death by the sword he took away prisoners to Babylon; and they became servants to him and to his sons till the kingdom of Persia came to power:
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.
So that the words of the Lord, which he said by the mouth of Jeremiah, might come true, till the land had had pleasure in her Sabbaths; for as long as she was waste the land kept the Sabbath, till seventy years were complete.
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, in order that the words which the Lord had said by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, and he made a public statement and had it given out through all his kingdom and put 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, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him and let him go up.
