Otra Laiku 36
1 Tad tās zemes ļaudis ņēma Joakasu, Josijas dēlu, un to cēla par ķēniņu viņa tēva vietā Jeruzālemē.
Then the people of Judah chose Josiah’s son Jehoahaz and appointed him as the king in Jerusalem.
2 Divdesmit trīs gadus Joakas bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja trīs mēnešus Jeruzālemē.
Jehoahaz was 23 years old when he became the king, but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months.
3 Jo Ēģiptes ķēniņš to nocēla Jeruzālemē un uzlika tai zemei par mesliem simts talentus sudraba un vienu talentu zelta.
King Neco of Egypt [captured him and] prevented him from ruling any longer. He also forced the people of Judah to pay him a tax of almost four tons of silver and about 75 pounds of gold.
4 Un Ēģiptes ķēniņš cēla Elijaķimu, viņa brāli, par Jūda un Jeruzālemes ķēniņu, un deva viņam citu vārdu, Jojaķimu; bet Joakasu, viņa brāli, Nekus paņēma un noveda uz Ēģiptes zemi.
The king of Egypt appointed Jehoahaz’s [younger] brother Eliakim to be the king of Judah. He changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. After Neco captured Jehoahaz, he took him to Egypt.
5 Divdesmit piecus gadus Jojaķims bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja vienpadsmit gadus Jeruzālemē un darīja, kas Tam Kungam, viņa Dievam, nepatika.
Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 11 years. He did things that Yahweh his God considers to be evil.
6 Pret šo NebukadNecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, cēlās un to saistīja ar divām vara ķēdēm un to noveda uz Bābeli.
Then the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked Jehoiakim’s army. They [captured Jehoiakim and] bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
7 Un NebukadNecars aizveda arī kādus no Tā Kunga nama traukiem uz Bābeli, un tos nolika Bābelē savā dieva namā.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took valuable things from the temple; they took them to Babylon and put them in king [Nebuchadnezzar’s] palace there.
8 Un kas vēl stāstāms par Jojaķimu, un viņa negantību, ko viņš darījis, un kas pie viņa atrasts, redzi, viss tas rakstīts Israēla un Jūda ķēniņu grāmatā. Un viņa dēls Jojaķins palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
A record of the other things that happened while Jehoiakim was ruling, the detestable things that he did, including the evil things that people said that he did, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’. After [he was taken to Babylon], his son Jehoiachin became the king [of Judah].
9 Astoņ(padsmit) gadus Jojaķins bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja trīs mēnešus un desmit dienas Jeruzālemē un darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika.
Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months and ten days. He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil.
10 Un kad jauns gads atnāca, tad ķēniņš NebukadNecars sūtīja un to lika novest uz Bābeli līdz ar Tā Kunga nama dārgākiem traukiem un cēla Cedeķiju, viņa brāli par Jūda un Jeruzālemes ķēniņu.
During the spring of the next year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent [soldiers] to bring him to Babylon. They also took to Babylon many valuable things from the temple of Yahweh. Then Nebuchadnezzar appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, to be the king of Judah.
11 Divdesmit un vienu gadu Cedeķija bija vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja vienpadsmit gadus Jeruzālemē,
Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 11 years.
12 Un darīja, kas Tam Kungam, viņa Dievam nepatika. Viņš nepazemojās priekš pravieša Jeremijas, kas no Tā Kunga mutes runāja.
He did many things that Yahweh his God considered to be evil. And he did not humble himself when the prophet Jeremiah gave him a message from Yahweh [to warn him].
13 Viņš atkāpās arī no ķēniņa NebukadNecara, kas viņu pie Dieva bija zvērinājis, un tapa stūrgalvīgs un apcietināja savu sirdi, ka neatgriezās pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva.
He would not return to Yahweh, the God that the people of Israel [said that they worshiped]. Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to solemnly promise using God’s name [to be loyal to him]. Zedekiah became very stubborn.
14 Tāpat arī visi priesteru virsnieki un ļaudis vairoja savus grēkus pēc visām pagānu negantībām un sagānīja Tā Kunga namu, ko viņš Jeruzālemē bija svētījis.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and also the people [of Judah] became more wicked again, doing all the detestable things that the people of the other nations did, and causing the temple in Jerusalem that Yahweh had caused to be holy to become [an] unacceptable [place to worship him].
15 Un Tas Kungs, viņu tēvu Dievs, tikuši(neatlaidīgi) pie tiem sūtīja savus vēstnešus vienā sūtīšanā. Jo viņš žēloja savus ļaudis un savu mājas vietu.
Yahweh, the God whom the ancestors [of the people of Judah belonged to/worshiped], gave messages to his prophets many times, and the prophets told those messages to the people of Judah. Yahweh did that because he pitied his people and did not want his temple to be destroyed.
16 Bet tie apmēdīja Dieva vēstnešus un nicināja viņu vārdus un apsmēja viņa praviešus, tiekams Tā Kunga bardzība pret viņa ļaudīm tik augsti cēlās, ka dziedināšanas vairs nebija.
But the people continually made fun of God’s messengers. They despised God’s messages. They ridiculed his prophets, until finally God became extremely angry with his people, with the result that nothing could stop him [from destroying Judah].
17 Tad viņš pamodināja pret tiem Kaldeju ķēniņu, un tas nokāva viņu jaunos vīrus ar zobenu viņu svētā namā, un netaupīja nedz jaunekļus nedz jaunavas, nedz vecus nedz sirmgalvjus; Dievs tos visus nodeva viņa rokā.
He incited the king of Babylonia to attack [Judah with his army]. They killed the young men with their swords, even in the temple. They did not spare/pity anyone, young men or young women or old people. God enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to kill all of them.
18 Un visus Dieva nama traukus, lielus un mazus, un Tā Kunga nama mantas, ir ķēniņa ir viņa lielkungu mantas, visu viņš nodeva uz Bābeli.
His soldiers took to Babylon all the things that were used in God’s temple—big things and little things, all the valuable things, and the valuable things that belonged to the king and his officials.
19 Un tie sadedzināja Dieva namu un nolauzīja Jeruzālemes mūrus un sadedzināja visus viņas skaistos namus ar uguni, ka visi viņas dārgumi tapa nopostīti.
They burned the temple, and they broke down the wall surrounding Jerusalem. They burned all the palaces [in Jerusalem] and destroyed all the remaining valuable things there.
20 Un kas no zobena atlika, tos viņš aizveda cietumā uz Bābeli, un tie viņam un viņa dēliem palika par kalpiem, tiekams Persiešu valdība sākās,
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers took to Babylon the remaining people who had not been killed with their swords. Then those people became the king’s slaves and his son’s slaves, until the [army of the] king of Persia conquered [the army of Babylonia].
21 Lai piepildītos Tā Kunga vārds caur Jeremijas muti: “kamēr tā zeme būs bagāti baudījusi savu dusēšanu“; visā tai posta laikā tā dusēja, kamēr septiņdesmit gadi piepildījās.
[Moses had said that every seventh year the people must not plant their fields; they must allow the soil to rest. But the people had not done that. So after the army of Babylonia destroyed Judah, ] the soil was allowed to rest. That continued for 70 years, fulfilling what Yahweh told Jeremiah and what Jeremiah had predicted/prophesied would happen.
22 Un Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa, pirmā gadā, lai Tā Kunga vārds caur Jeremiju runāts piepildītos, Tas Kungs pamodināja Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņa garu, ka tas visā savā valstī lika izsaukt un arī izrakstīt un sacīt:
During the first year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, in order that what Yahweh told Jeremiah would happen would occur, Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this and proclaim it throughout his kingdom:
23 Tā saka Kirus, Persiešu ķēniņš: Tas Kungs, debesu Dievs, man devis visas zemes valstis, un tas man pavēlējis, viņam namu uzcelt Jeruzālemē, Jūdu zemē; kas nu jūsu starpā ir no viņa ļaudīm, ar to lai ir Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs, un tas lai noiet.
“I, Cyrus, the king of Persia, declare that Yahweh, the God [who rules] in heaven, has enabled me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms of this world. And he wants me to [command that my workers] build a temple {a temple be built} for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of his people living among you people of Persia are allowed to go to Jerusalem. And I will pray that Yahweh will be with them.”
