2 Seenaa 36
1 Ergasiis sabni biyya sanaa Yehooʼaahaaz ilma Yosiyaas fuudhanii Yerusaalem keessatti iddoo abbaa isaa buusanii mootii isa godhan.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Yehooʼaahaaz yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii sadii ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee jiʼa sadii bulche.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months.
3 Mootiin Gibxi immoo Yerusaalem keessatti teessoo isaa irraa isa buuse; Yihuudaa irrattis gibira meetii taalaantii dhibba tokkoo fi warqee taalaantii tokko mure.
And the king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Mootiin Gibxis Eliiyaaqiim obboleessa Yehooʼaahaaz Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem irratti mootii godhe; innis maqaa Eliiyaaqiim geeddaree Yehooyaaqiim jedheen. Nekkoonis Yoʼahaz obboleessa Eliiyaaqiim fuudhee Gibxitti geesse.
Then Neco king of Egypt made Eliakim brother of Jehoahaz king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.
5 Yehooyaaqiim yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha tokko bulche. Inni fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa duratti waan hamaa hojjete.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
6 Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon isatti duule; gara Baabilonittis isa geessuudhaaf foncaa naasiitiin isa hidhe.
Then Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jehoiakim and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.
7 Nebukadnezar miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo guuree Baabilonitti geessee mana waaqeffannaa isaa keessa ni kaaʼe.
Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon some of the articles from the house of the LORD, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yehooyaaqiim keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa, wanni jibbisiisaan inni hojjetee fi balleessaan isa irratti argame hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru. Ilmi isaa Yehooyaakiin iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations he committed, and all that was found against him, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.
9 Yehooyaakiin yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa kudha saddeet ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee jiʼa sadii fi bultii kudhan bulche. Fuula Waaqayyoo durattis waan hamaa hojjete.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
10 Birraa keessas Nebukadnezar Mootichi nama itti ergee miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kanneen gatii guddaa qaban wajjin gara Baabilon isa fichisiise; Zedeqiyaa obboleessa abbaa Yehooyaakiin sana immoo Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalem irratti mootii godhe.
In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned Jehoiachin and brought him to Babylon, along with the articles of value from the house of the LORD. And he made Jehoiachin’s relative Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedeqiyaa yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii tokkoo ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa kudha tokko bulche.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years.
12 Inni fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa duratti waan hamaa ni hojjete; fuula Ermiyaas raajicha dubbii Waaqayyoo isatti dubbate sanaa durattis gad of hin qabne.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the LORD.
13 Akkasumas Nebukadnezar Mooticha maqaa Waaqaatiin isa kakachiisee turetti illee ni fincile. Inni mataa jabaatee gara Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼelitti deebiʼuu ni dide.
He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
14 Kana malees dura buutonni lubootaa hundii fi uummanni wantoota jibbisiisoo saboota kaanii hunda duukaa buʼuu fi mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan inni Yerusaalem keessatti qulqulleesse sana xureessuudhaan ittuma caalchisanii amanamummaa dhaban.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii isaanii waan saba isaa fi iddoo jireenya isaaf garaa laafeef karaa ergamoota isaatiin ammumaa amma ergaa itti erge.
Again and again the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to His people through His messengers because He had compassion on them and on His dwelling place.
16 Isaan garuu ergamoota Waaqaatti qoosan; dubbii isaas tuffatanii raajota isaa xinneessan. Kanaanis dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo saba isaatti ni buʼe; wanni isa qabbaneessus hin argamne.
But they mocked the messengers of God, despising His words and scoffing at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against His people was stirred up beyond remedy.
17 Kanaafuu inni mootii warra Baabilon isaanitti fide; mootichis mana qulqullummaa keessatti dargaggoota isaanii goraadeedhaan fixe; dargaggoota yookaan dubara, jaarsolii yookaan warra dullooman tokko illee hin hambifne. Waaqni hunda isaanii dabarsee harka Nebukadnezaritti kenne.
So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,
18 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatii miʼoota hunda xinnaa fi guddaa, qabeenya mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo, qabeenya mootichaa fi kan qondaaltota isaa saamee Baabilonitti geesse.
who carried off everything to Babylon—all the articles of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king and his officials.
19 Isaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatti ibidda qabsiisanii dallaa Yerusaalem diigan; masaraawwan mootummaa hunda gubanii waan gatii qabu hundas barbadeessan.
Then the Chaldeans set fire to the house of God and broke down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned down all the palaces and destroyed every article of value.
20 Inni hambaa goraadee irraa hafe boojiʼee Baabilonitti geesse; isaanis hamma mootummaan Faares aangoo qabatetti tajaajiltoota isaa fi tajaajiltoota ilmaan isaa taʼan.
Those who escaped the sword were carried by Nebuchadnezzar into exile in Babylon, and they became servants to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia came to power.
21 Biyyattiin boqonnaa sanbata ishee ni argatte; akka dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan afaan Ermiyaasiin dubbatame raawwatamuuf hamma waggaan torbaatamni dhumutti biyyattiin yeroo ontee turte guutuu ni boqotte.
So the land enjoyed its Sabbath rest all the days of the desolation, until seventy years were completed, in fulfillment of the word of the LORD through Jeremiah.
22 Waaqayyo akka dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan afaan Ermiyaasiin dubbatame sun raawwatamuuf jedhee bara Qiiros mooticha Faares keessa waggaa jalqabaatti akka inni mootummaa isaa hunda keessa labsii tokko dabarsuu fi akka labsiin sunis barreeffamuuf hafuura Qiiros mooticha Faares ni kakaase; labsiin sunis akkana jedha:
In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken through Jeremiah, the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to send a proclamation throughout his kingdom and to put it in writing as follows:
23 “Qiiros mootichi Faares akkana jedha: “‘Waaqayyo Waaqni samii mootummoota lafa irraa hunda naaf kenneera; akka ani Yihuudaa keessatti Yerusaalemitti mana qulqullummaa isaaf ijaaruufis na muudeera. Saba isaa keessaa nama gidduu keessanitti argamu kam iyyuu Waaqayyo Waaqni isaa isa wajjin haa taʼu; innis ol haa baʼu.’”
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”
