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 the 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.
Joahaz 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 from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a 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 his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried 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 that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight.
6 Ary Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, dia niakatra namely azy ka namatotra azy tamin’ ny gadra varahina mba hitondra azy ho any Babylona.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him 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 vessels of the LORD’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple 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.
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.
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, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
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.
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 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, and 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 that which was evil in the LORD his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the LORD’s mouth.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 burnt God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
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,
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 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.
to fulfil 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 fulfil seventy years.
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, 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 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.
“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 amongst you of all his people, the LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.’”
