1 tulit ergo populus terrae Ioachaz filium Iosiae et constituit regem pro patre suo in Hierusalem
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.

Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 amovit autem eum rex Aegypti cum venisset Hierusalem et condemnavit terram centum talentis argenti et talento auri
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 constituitque regem pro eo Eliacim fratrem eius super Iudam et Hierusalem et vertit nomen eius Ioacim ipsum vero Ioachaz tulit secum et adduxit in Aegyptum
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 viginti quinque annorum erat Ioacim cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem fecitque malum coram Domino Deo suo
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 contra hunc ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Chaldeorum et vinctum catenis duxit in Babylonem
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
7 ad quam et vasa Domini transtulit et posuit ea in templo suo
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 reliqua autem verborum Ioacim et abominationum eius quas operatus est et quae inventa sunt in eo continentur in libro regum Israhel et Iuda regnavitque Ioachin filius eius pro eo
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.

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 cumque anni circulus volveretur misit Nabuchodonosor rex qui et adduxerunt eum in Babylonem asportatis simul pretiosissimis vasis domus Domini regem vero constituit Sedeciam fratrem eius super Iudam et Hierusalem
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 viginti et unius anni erat Sedecias cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 fecitque malum in oculis Domini Dei sui nec erubuit faciem Hieremiae prophetae loquentis ad se ex ore Domini
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 a rege quoque Nabuchodonosor recessit qui adiuraverat eum per Deum et induravit cervicem suam et cor ut non reverteretur ad Dominum Deum Israhel
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 sed et universi principes sacerdotum et populus praevaricati sunt inique iuxta universas abominationes gentium et polluerunt domum Domini quam sanctificaverat sibi in Hierusalem
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 mittebat autem Dominus Deus patrum suorum ad illos per manum nuntiorum suorum de nocte consurgens et cotidie commonens eo quod parceret populo et habitaculo suo
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 at illi subsannabant nuntios Dei et parvipendebant sermones eius inludebantque prophetis donec ascenderet furor Domini in populum eius et esset nulla curatio
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 adduxit enim super eos regem Chaldeorum et interfecit iuvenes eorum gladio in domo sanctuarii sui non est misertus adulescentis et virginis et senis nec decrepiti quidem sed omnes tradidit manibus eius
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 universaque vasa domus Domini tam maiora quam minora et thesauros templi et regis et principum transtulit in Babylonem
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 incenderunt hostes domum Dei destruxerunt murum Hierusalem universas turres conbuserunt et quicquid pretiosum fuerat demoliti sunt
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 si quis evaserat gladium ductus in Babylonem servivit regi et filiis eius donec imperaret rex Persarum
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 et conpleretur sermo Domini ex ore Hieremiae et celebraret terra sabbata sua cunctis enim diebus desolationis egit sabbatum usque dum conplerentur septuaginta anni
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 anno autem primo Cyri regis Persarum ad explendum sermonem Domini quem locutus fuerat per os Hieremiae suscitavit Dominus spiritum Cyri regis Persarum qui iussit praedicari in universo regno suo etiam per scripturam dicens
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 haec dicit Cyrus rex Persarum omnia regna terrae dedit mihi Dominus Deus caeli et ipse praecepit mihi ut aedificarem ei domum in Hierusalem quae est in Iudaea quis ex vobis est in omni populo eius sit Dominus Deus suus cum eo et ascendat
“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.’”
