2 Krønikebok 36
1 Folket i landet tok Joahaz Josiason og gjorde honom til konge i Jerusalem i staden for far hans.
And the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and anointed him, and made him king over Jerusalem in the room of his father.
2 Tri og tjuge år gamall var Joahaz då han vart konge, og tri månader styrde han i Jerusalem.
Joachaz [was] twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Amital, daughter of Jeremias of Lobna. And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his fathers had done. And Pharao Nechao bound him in Deblatha in the land of Aemath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem.
3 Men egyptarkongen sette honom av frå styret i Jerusalem og let landet bøta tvo hundrad og femti våger sylv og tvo og ein halv våg gull.

4 Og egyptarkongen gjorde Eljakim, bror hans, til konge yver Juda og Jerusalem, og han brigda namnet hans til Jojakim, Joahaz, bror hans derimot, tok Neko og førde til Egyptarland.
And Pharao Nechao made Eliakim the son of Josias king over Juda in the room of his father Josias, and changed his name [to] Joakim. And Pharao Nechao took his brother Joachaz and brought him into Egypt, and he died there: but [he] had given the silver and gold to Pharao. At that time the land began to be taxed to give the money at the command of Pharao; and every one as he could borrowed the silver and the gold of the people of the land, to give to Pharao Nechao.
5 Fem og tjuge år gamall var Jojakim då han vart konge, og elleve år styrde han i Jerusalem. Han gjorde det som vondt var for Herren, hans Gud.

7 Og Nebukadnessar førde nokre av kjeraldi i Herrens hus til Babel og sette deim upp i templet sitt i Babel.
And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Det som elles er å fortelja um Jojakim og dei styggetingi som han gjorde, og anna vondt som fanst hjå honom, det er uppskrive i boki um Israels- og Juda-kongarne; Jojakin, son hans, vart konge i staden hans.
And the rest of the acts of Joakim, and all that he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And Joakim slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in Ganozae: and Jechonias his son reigned in his stead.
9 Attan år gamall var Jojakin då han vart konge, og tri månader og ti dagar styrde han i Jerusalem. Han gjorde det som vondt var i Herrens augo.

11 Eitt og tjuge år gamall var Sidkia då han vart konge, og elleve år styrde han i Jerusalem.
Sedekias [was] twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and be reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 Han gjorde det som var vondt i Herrens, hans Guds, augo; han audmykte seg ikkje for profeten Jeremia som tala ord frå Herrens munn.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God: he was not ashamed before the prophet Jeremias, nor because of the word of the Lord;
13 Attpå gjorde han uppreist imot kong Nebukadnessar, som hadde teke honom i eid ved Gud; og han var ein stivnakke og gjorde hjarta sitt hardt, so han umvende seg ikkje til Herren, Israels Gud.
in that he rebelled against king Nabuchodonosor, which he adjured him by God [not to do]: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart, so as not to return to the Lord God of Israel.
14 Alle hovdingarne bland prestarne og folket gjorde mykjen utruskap og for med same styggedomen som heidningarne og sulka til Herrens hus, som han hadde helga i Jerusalem.
And all the great men of Juda, and the priests, and the people of the land transgressed abundantly in the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which [was] in Jerusalem.
15 Herren, deira fedregud, sende fyretolor til deim seint og tidleg med sendebodi sine, av di han tykte synd i folket sitt og bustaden sin.
And the Lord God of their fathers sent by the hand of his prophets; rising early and sending his messengers, for he spared his people, and his sanctuary.
16 Men dei spotta sendebodi for Gud, hædde ordi hans og svivyrde profetarne hans til dess Herrens harm reiste seg soleis imot folket hans, at det ikkje lenger var nokor botevon.

And he brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, and killed their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, and did not spare Sedekias, and had no mercy upon their virgins, and they led away their old men: he delivered all things into their hands.
18 Alle kjeraldi i Guds hus, både store og små, skattarne i Herrens hus og skatterne åt kongen og hovdingarne hans, alt saman førde han til Babel.
And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and all the treasures of the king and the great men; he brought all to Babylon.

21 so Herrens ord i Jeremias munn skulde verta uppfyllt, til dess landet fekk njota si kvild; alt med det låg i øyde, fekk det kvila til dess sytti år var lidne.

22 Men i det fyrste året åt Kyrus, kongen i Persia, vekte Herren hugen i persarkongen Kyrus - for Herrens ord i Jeremias munn skulde nå sitt endemål - og han let ropa ut i alt sitt rike, og sende brev ikring med sovori kunngjering:
In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, after the fulfillment of the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of the Persians, and told him to make proclamation in writing throughout all his kingdom, saying,
23 «So segjer Kyrus, kongen i Persia: «Alle kongerike på jordi hev Herren, Gud i himmelen, gjeve meg, og han hev lagt på meg at eg skal byggja honom eit hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Er det nokon millom dykk av alt hans folk, so vere Herren, hans Gud, med honom, og han drage upp dit!»»
Thus says Cyrus king of the Persians to all the kingdoms of the earth, The Lord God of heaven has given me [power], and he has commanded me to build a house to him in Jerusalem, in Judea. Who [is there] of you of all his people? His God shall be with him, and let him go up.
