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 Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem.
2 Yoahas berumur dua puluh tiga tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga bulan lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
Joachaz was three and twenty 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.
And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in 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 he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him, and carried him away into 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.
Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God.
6 Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, maju melawan dia, membelenggunya dengan rantai tembaga untuk membawanya ke Babel.
Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon.
7 Juga beberapa perkakas rumah TUHAN dibawa Nebukadnezar ke Babel dan ditempatkan di istananya di Babel.
And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple.
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.
But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.
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.
Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight 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.
And at the return of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, carrying away at the same time the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Sedecias his uncle king over Juda and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekia berumur dua puluh satu tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan sebelas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem.
Sedecias was one and twenty 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.
And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth 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.
He also revolted from king Nabuchodonosor, who had made him swear by God: and he hardened his neck and his heart, from returning 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 chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself 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 to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising early, and daily admonishing them: because he spared his people and 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, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and 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.
For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered 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 the Lord, great and small, and the treasures of the temple and of the king, and of the princes he carried 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 enemies set fire to the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all the towers, and whatsoever was precious they destroyed.
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.
Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king 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.
That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.
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:
But in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus king of the Persians who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, 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!"
Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
