2 Seenaa 36
1 Ergasiis sabni biyya sanaa Yehooʼaahaaz ilma Yosiyaas fuudhanii Yerusaalem keessatti iddoo abbaa isaa buusanii mootii isa godhan.
The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in succession to his father.
2 Yehooʼaahaaz yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii sadii ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee jiʼa sadii bulche.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for 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.
Then the king of Egypt removed him from the throne in Jerusalem and imposed a tax on Judah 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.
Neco, king of Egypt, made Eliakim, Jehoahaz's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and he changed Eliakim's name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Eliakim's brother Jehoahaz back with him 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years. 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, attacked Jehoiakim. He captured him and put bronze shackles on him, and brought him to Babylon.
7 Nebukadnezar miʼoota mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo guuree Baabilonitti geessee mana waaqeffannaa isaa keessa ni kaaʼe.
Nebuchadnezzar also took some items from the Lord's Temple, 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.
The rest of what Jehoiakim, the disgusting sins he committed, and all the evidence against him, are written down in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin took over as king.
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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He did evil in the Lord's sight.
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 of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar summoned him and brought him to Babylon, along with valuable items from the Lord's Temple, and he made Jehoiachin's uncle 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 when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for 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.
He did evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and he refused to admit his pride when the prophet Jeremiah warned him directly from 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 an oath of loyalty by God. Zedekiah was arrogant and hard-hearted, and refused to come back 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.
All the leaders of the priests and the people were also totally faithless and sinful, following all the disgusting practices of the heathen nations. They defiled the Lord's Temple that he had set apart as holy 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, warned his people through his prophets, because he wanted to show mercy to them and to his Temple.
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 ridiculed God's messengers, they despised his warnings and mocked his prophets, until the Lord's anger against his people was provoked to such an extent it couldn't be stopped.
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 the Lord brought the king of Babylon to attack them. His army killed by the sword their best young men even in the sanctuary. The Babylonians did not spare young men or young women, the sick or the elderly. God handed them all over to Nebuchadnezzar.
18 Innis mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatii miʼoota hunda xinnaa fi guddaa, qabeenya mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo, qabeenya mootichaa fi kan qondaaltota isaa saamee Baabilonitti geesse.
He took back to Babylon all the articles, large and small, from God's Temple, and from the Temple treasury, and from the king and from his officials.
19 Isaan mana qulqullummaa Waaqaatti ibidda qabsiisanii dallaa Yerusaalem diigan; masaraawwan mootummaa hunda gubanii waan gatii qabu hundas barbadeessan.
Then the Babylonians burned down God's Temple and demolished Jerusalem's walls. They set fire to all the palaces and destroyed everything that had any value.
20 Inni hambaa goraadee irraa hafe boojiʼee Baabilonitti geesse; isaanis hamma mootummaan Faares aangoo qabatetti tajaajiltoota isaa fi tajaajiltoota ilmaan isaa taʼan.
Nebuchadnezzar took into exile in Babylon those who had not been killed. They were slaves for himself and his sons, until the kingdom of Persia took over.
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 to fulfill the Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the land enjoyed its Sabbaths as rest all the time it was left desolate, keeping the Sabbath until seventy years were completed.
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 Lord's prophecy given through Jeremiah, the Lord encouraged Cyrus, king of Persia, to issue a proclamation throughout his kingdom and also to put it in writing, saying,
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 to me all the kingdoms of the earth, has given me the responsibility to build a Temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Anyone among you who belongs to his people can go there. May the Lord your God be with you.’”
