2 Tantara 36
1 Ary ny vahoaka naka an’ i Joahaza, zanak’ i Josia, ka nampanjaka azy tany Jerosalema handimby an-drainy.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's place in Jerusalem.
2 Telo amby roa-polo taona loahaza, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary telo volana no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 Ary nesorin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta tany Jerosalema izy, sady nampandoaviny sazy talenta volafotsy zato sy talenta volamena iray ny fanjakana.
The king of Egypt removed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
4 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta nampanjaka an’ i Eliakima, rahalahin’ i Joahaza, tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema, ary ny anarany dia novany hoe Joiakima; ary Joahaza rahalahiny kosa dia nalainy ka nentiny ho any Egypta.
The king of Egypt made Eliakim, who was the brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem (and changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim). Then Necho took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz and brought him to Egypt.
5 Dimy amby roa-polo taona Joiakima, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God.
6 Ary Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia niakatra namely azy ka namatotra azy tamin’ ny gadra varahina mba hitondra azy ho any Babylona.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked him and bound him in chains to lead him away to Babylon.
7 Ary ny fanaka sasany tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah dia nentin’ i Nebokadnezara ho any Babylona koa ka nataony tao amin’ ny tempoliny tany Babylona.
Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the objects in the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his palace at Babylon.
8 Ary ny tantaran’ i Joiakima sisa sy ny fahavetavetana nataony mbamin’ izay toetoeny rehetra, dia, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy ny Joda izany; ary Joiakina zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
As for the other matters concerning Jehoiakim, the disgusting things that he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. Then Jehoiachin, his son, became king in his place.
9 Valo taona Joiakina, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary telo volana sy hafoloana no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy.
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign; he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
10 Ary nony niherina ny taona, dia naniraka Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ka nitondra azy mbamin’ ny fanaka tsara tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ho any Babylona, dia nampanjaka an’ i Zedekia rahalahin-drainy tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema izy.
In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar sent men and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable things from the house of Yahweh, and made Zedekiah, his relative, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Iraika amby roa-polo taona Zedekia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika ambin’ ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy, fa tsy nanetry tena teo anatrehan’ i Jeremia mpaminany, izay nilaza ny tenin’ Andriamanitra.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God. He did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the mouth of Yahweh.
13 Ary nikomy tamin’ i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka izay efa nampianiana azy tamin’ Andriamanitra koa izy; ary nanamafy ny hatony sy nanasarotra ny fony izy mba tsy hiverina ho amin’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear loyalty to him by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
14 Ary ny lehibe rehetra tamin’ ny mpisorona sy ny vahoaka koa nanao izay mahadiso indrindra araka ny fahavetavetana rehetra fanaon’ ny jentilisa ka nandoto ny tranon’ i Jehovah tany Jerosalema izay nohamasininy.
Moreover, all the leaders of the priests and the people were extremely unfaithful, and they followed the disgusting practices of the nations. They polluted the house of Yahweh which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 Kanefa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, nampitondra teny ny iraka izay nirahiny ho any aminy; eny, nifoha maraina koa Izy ka naniraka, fa namindra fo tamin’ ny olony sy ny fonenany.
Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them by his messengers again and again, because he had compassion on his people and on the place where he lives.
16 Kanjo ny olona nihomehy ireny irak’ Andriamanitra ireny sady nanazimba ny teniny sy namazivazy ny mpaminaniny mandra-pihatry ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah taminy, ka tsy nisy nahavonjy azy.
But they mocked God's messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Yahweh arose against his people, until there was no help for it.
17 Koa nentiny namely azy ny mpanjakan’ ny Kaldeana, izay namono ny zatovony tamin’ ny sabatra tao an-trano fitoerana masìna, ary tsy nisy namindrany fo, na zatovo na virijina, na ny antitra sy ny fotsy volo; fa izy rehetra dia natolony ho eo an-tànany avokoa.
So God brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and had no compassion on young men or virgins, old men or the gray-haired. God gave them all into his hand.
18 Ary ny fanaka rehetra tao an-tranon’ Andriamanitra, na ny vaventy na ny madinika, mbamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah ary ny rakitry ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka, ireny rehetra ireny dia nentiny ho any Babylona avokoa.
All the furnishings of the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and his officials—all these he took to Babylon.
19 Dia nodorany koa ny tranon’ Andriamanitra, ary noravany ny mandan’ i Jerosalema; ny lapan’ andriana rehetra tao koa dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo, ary ny fanaka tsara rehetra tao nosimbany.
They burned down the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces, and destroyed all the beautiful things in it.
20 Ary ny olona sisa tsy matin-tsabatra dia nentiny ho babo tany Babylona, ka tonga mpanompo azy sy ny zanany ireny mandra-panjakan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Persia,
The king carried away to Babylon those who had escaped the sword. They became servants for him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia.
21 hanatanterahana ny tenin’ i Jehovah nampilazaina an’ i Jeremia, mandra-panonitry ny tany ny Sabatany; fa tamin’ ny andro rehetra izay nahafoanany dia natsahatra ny tany mba hanonitra ny Sabatany mandra-pahatapitry ny fito-polo taona.
This happened to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land should have enjoyed its Sabbath rests. It observed its Sabbath for as long as it lay abandoned, in order to pass seventy years in this way.
22 Ary tamin’ ny taona voalohany nanjakan’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Perisa, dia notairin’ i Jehovah ny fanahin’ i Kyrosy mpanjakan’ i Persia, mba hanatanteraka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an’ i Jeremia, ka dia nandefa teny eran’ ny fanjakany rehetra izy, sady nataony an-tsoratra koa izany hoe:
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah might be carried out, Yahweh motivated the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing. He said,
23 Izao no lazain’ i Kyrosy, mpanjakan’ i Persia: Ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany dia efa nomen’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny lanitra, ahy; ary Izy efa nandidy ahy hanao trano ho Azy any Jerosalema, izay any Joda. Koa iza avy moa aminareo rehetra no olony? Jehovah Andriamaniny anie nomba azy, fa aoka hiakatra izy.
“This is what Cyrus, king of Persia, says: Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has commanded me to build a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you from all his people, may Yahweh your God, be with you. Let him go up to the land.”
