2 Whakapapa 36
1 Katahi ka mau te iwi o te whenua ki a Iehoahata tama a Hohia, a meinga ana ia e ratou hei kingi i muri i tona papa ki Hiruharama.
And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, —and made him king instead of his father, in Jerusalem.
2 E rua tekau ma toru nga tau o Iehoahata i tona kingitanga, a e toru nga marama i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
Twenty-three years old, was Joahaz when he began to reign, —and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem.
3 Na ka whakataka ia e te kingi o Ihipa i Hiruharama; a tangohia ana e tera i te whenua, hei utu he, kotahi rau taranata hiriwa me te taranata koura.
And the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem, —and condemned the land, in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
4 I meinga ano tona tuakana a Eriakimi e te kingi o Ihipa hei kingi mo Hura, mo Hiruharama: whakawhitia ketia ake tona ingoa ko Iehoiakimi. Na tangohia ana to tenei teina, a Iehoahata, e Neko, mauria ana e ia ki Ihipa.
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim, —but Neco took, Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 E rua tekau ma rima nga tau o Iehoiakimi i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; he kino ano hoki tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua.
Twenty-five years old, was Jehoiakim when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh his God.
6 Whakaekea ana ia e Nepukaneka kingi o Papurona, herea iho ki te mekameka, hei kawe i a ia ki Papurona.
Against him, came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, —and bound him in fetters of bronze, to carry him to Babylon.
7 I mauria ano e Nepukaneha nga oko o te whare o Ihowa ki Papurona, hoatu ana e ia ki roto ki tona temepara i Papurona.
And, some of the utensils of the house of Yahweh, did Nebuchadnezzar carry to Babylon, —and put them in his own temple in Babylon.
8 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehoiakimi, me ana mea whakarihariha i mea ai, me ana tikanga i kitea, nana, kei te tuhituhi i roto i te pukapuka o nga kingi o Iharaira, o Hura: a ko tana tama, ko Iehoiakini, te kingi i muri i a ia.
But, the rest of the story of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he made, and that which was found upon him, there they are, written in the book of the Kings of Israel and Judah, —and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
9 E waru nga tau o Iehoiakini i tona kingitanga, a e toru nga marama tekau nga ra i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama. A he kino tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro.
Eight years old, was Jehoiachin when he began to reign, and, three months and ten days, reigned he in Jerusalem, and he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh;
10 Na, i te takanga o te tau, ka tono tangata a Kingi Nepukaneha, a mauria ana ia ki Papurona, me nga oko papai o te whare o Ihowa; a meinga ana e ia tona tuakana a Terekia hei kingi mo Hura, mo Hiruharama.
and, when the year came round, King Nebuchadnezzar sent, and carried him to Babylon, with the precious utensils of the house of Yahweh, —and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 E rua tekau ma tahi nga tau o Terekia i tona kingitanga, a kotahi tekau ma tahi nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, —and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
12 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua; kihai hoki ia i whakaiti i a ia i te aroaro o te poropiti, o Heremaia, e korero ana i ta te mangai o Ihowa.
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh his God, -he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet, from the mouth of Yahweh.
13 I whakakeke ano hoki ia ki a Kingi Nepukaneha, nana nei ia i whakaoati ki te Atua; heoi whakamarokia ana e ia tona kaki, whakapakeketia ana e ia tona ngakau, kihai i tahuri ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.
Moreover also—against King Nebuchadnezzar, he rebelled, who had made him swear by God, -and he stiffened his neck, and emboldened his heart, from turning unto Yahweh, God of Israel.
14 Me nga rangatira o nga tohunga, o te iwi, nui atu to ratou kino; i rite tonu ki nga mea whakarihariha katoa o nga tauiwi; whakapokea iho e ratou te whare o Ihowa i whakatapua nei e ia, ki Hiruharama.
Also, all the rulers of the priests and of the people, abounded in committing treachery, according to all the abominable ways of the nations, —and polluted the house of Yahweh, which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 A i unga tangata a Ihowa, te Atua o o ratou matua, ara ana karere ki a ratou; maranga wawe ana ia ki te tono, he tohu hoki nana i tana iwi, i tona nohoanga.
And, though Yahweh God of their fathers sent unto them through his messengers, zealously sending them, —because he had compassion upon his people and upon his habitation,
16 Otiia tawaia iho e ratou nga karere a te Atua, whakahaweatia ana ana kupu, tukinotia ana ana poropiti, a ara noa te riri o Ihowa ki tana iwi; a kahore noa iho he whakaoranga.
yet became they mockers of the messengers of God, and despisers of his words, and mimics of his prophets, —until the mounting up of the wrath of Yahweh against his people, until there was no healing.
17 Na reira i kawea ai e ia te kingi o nga Karari ki a ratou, a patua iho e ia a ratou taitama ki te hoari i roto i te whare o to ratou wahi tapu; kihai i tohungia e ia te taitama, te kotiro, te kaumatua, te koroheke tuara piko; hoatu katoa ana e i a ki tona ringa.
So he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword, in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, elder or ancient, -all, delivered he into his hand.
18 Na, ko nga oko o te whare o te Atua, ko nga mea nunui, ko nga mea ririki, ko nga taonga o te whare o Ihowa, me nga taonga o te kingi ratou ko ona rangatira; kawea katoatia ana e ia enei ki Papurona.
And, all the utensils of the house of God, both great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king and of his rulers, the whole, carried he to Babylon;
19 Tahuna ake e ratou te whare o te Atua, wahia iho te taiepa o Hiruharama, tahuna ana nga whare papai katoa ki te ahi, ngaro rawa i a ratou nga oko papai katoa o reira.
and they burned the house of God, and threw down the wall of Jerusalem, —and, all the palaces thereof, burned they with fire, and, all the precious vessels thereof, he destroyed;
20 Whakahekea atu ana hoki e ia te hunga i toe i te hoari ki Papurona, a he pononga ratou mana, ma ana tama, a taea noatia te kingitanga o Pahia:
and he exiled the remnant left from the sword, into Babylon, —where they became his and his sons, as servants, until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
21 Hei whakaritenga mo te kupu a Ihowa, i korerotia e Heremaia, kia koa ra ano te whenua i ona hapati: he hapati hoki ona i nga ra katoa o te ngaromanga; kia rite ra ano nga tau e whitu tekau.
to fulfil the word of God, by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had paid off her sabbaths, —all the days of her lying desolate, she kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.
22 Na, i te tuatahi o nga tau o Hairuha kingi o Pahia, ka whakamana te kupu a Ihowa, i korerotia e Heremaia, ka whakaohokia e Ihowa te wairua o Hairuha kingi o Pahia. Na ka tukua e tera tana karanga puta noa i tona kingitanga; he mea tuhituhi nana; i mea ia,
But, in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to accomplish the word of God by the mouth of Jeremiah, Yahweh aroused the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made proclamation throughout all his kingdom, moreover also in writing, saying:
23 Ko te kupu tenei a Hairuha kingi o Pahia, Kua oti nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua te homai ki ahau e Ihowa, e te Atua o nga rangi; kua whakahaua mai ano ahau e ia kia hanga i te whare mona ki Hiruharama, ki tera i Hura. Ko wai tenei o koutou o tana iwi katoa, hei a ia a Ihowa, tona Atua, kia haere ake hoki ia.
Thus, saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth, hath Yahweh God of the heavens, given unto me, and, he himself, hath laid charge upon me, to build to him a house, in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people with whom is Yahweh his God? Then let him go up.
