Taariikhdii Labaad 36
1 Markaasaa dadkii waddanku soo wateen Yehoo'aaxaas ina Yoosiyaah, oo waxay meeshii aabbihiis boqor ugaga dhigeen Yeruusaalem.
Then the people of Judah chose Josiah’s son Jehoahaz and appointed him as the king in Jerusalem.
2 Oo Yoo'aaxaasna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray saddex iyo labaatan sannadood, oo intii saddex bilood ah ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ku ahaa.
Jehoahaz was 23 years old when he became the king, but he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months.
3 Markaasaa boqorkii Masar Yeruusaalem kaga dejiyey carshigiisii, oo dalkiina wuxuu saaray baad ah boqol talanti oo lacag ah iyo talanti dahab ah.
King Neco of Egypt [captured him and] prevented him from ruling any longer. He also forced the people of Judah to pay him a tax of almost four tons of silver and about 75 pounds of gold.
4 Kolkaasaa boqorkii Masar wuxuu dalkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba boqor uga dhigay walaalkiis Elyaaqiim, oo magiciisiina wuxuu u beddelay Yehooyaaqiim. Oo walaalkiis Yoo'aaxaasna Nekoo wuxuu u kaxaystay dalkii Masar.
The king of Egypt appointed Jehoahaz’s [younger] brother Eliakim to be the king of Judah. He changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. After Neco captured Jehoahaz, he took him to Egypt.
5 Oo Yehooyaaqiimna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ku ahaa kow iyo toban sannadood, oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah hortiisa.
Jehoiakim was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for 11 years. He did things that Yahweh his God considers to be evil.
6 Oo waxaa isagii ku soo kacay Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, silsilado buuna ku xidhay oo Baabuloon u kaxaystay.
Then the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked Jehoiakim’s army. They [captured Jehoiakim and] bound him with bronze chains and took him to Babylon.
7 Oo Nebukadnesar weliba wuxuu kaloo Baabuloon u qaatay weelashii guriga Rabbiga, oo wuxuu dhigtay macbudkiisii Baabuloon ku yiil.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took valuable things from the temple; they took them to Babylon and put them in king [Nebuchadnezzar’s] palace there.
8 Haddaba Yehooyaaqiim falimihiisii kale, iyo karaahiyadiisii uu sameeyey, iyo wixii isaga laga helayba, bal eeg, dhammaantood waxay ku qoran yihiin kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil iyo dalka Yahuudah, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Yehooyaakiin.
A record of the other things that happened while Jehoiakim was ruling, the detestable things that he did, including the evil things that people said that he did, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel and Judah’. After [he was taken to Babylon], his son Jehoiachin became the king [of Judah].
9 Oo Yehooyaakiinna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray siddeed sannadood, oo Yeruusaalem boqor buu ku ahaa saddex bilood iyo toban maalmood, oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah.
Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king [of Judah], and he ruled from Jerusalem for [only] three months and ten days. He did things that Yahweh considers to be evil.
10 Oo markii sannaddii soo wareegtay ayaa Boqor Nebukadnesar soo cid diray, oo wuxuu Baabuloon keenay isagii iyo weelashii wanaagsanaa oo gurigii Rabbiga, oo walaalkiis Sidqiyaahna ayuu boqor uga dhigay dalkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem.
During the spring of the next year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent [soldiers] to bring him to Babylon. They also took to Babylon many valuable things from the temple of Yahweh. Then Nebuchadnezzar appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, to be the king of Judah.
11 Oo Sidqiyaahna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray kow iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ku ahaa kow iyo toban sannadood.
Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 11 years.
12 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah hortiisa shar ku ah, oo iskuma uu hoosaysiin Nebi Yeremyaah oo afka Rabbiga ku hadlayay hortiisa.
He did many things that Yahweh his God considered to be evil. And he did not humble himself when the prophet Jeremiah gave him a message from Yahweh [to warn him].
13 Oo weliba wuxuu ka fallaagoobay Boqor Nebukadnesar oo isaga Ilaah ku dhaariyey, laakiinse wuu madax adkaaday oo qalbigiisana wuu qallafiyey si uusan ugu soo noqon Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil.
He would not return to Yahweh, the God that the people of Israel [said that they worshiped]. Zedekiah also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had forced him to solemnly promise using God’s name [to be loyal to him]. Zedekiah became very stubborn.
14 Oo weliba kuwii wadaaddada sarsare ahaa iyo dadkiiba si weyn bay u xadgudbeen oo waxay wada sameeyeen karaahiyadii quruumuhu samayn jireen oo dhan, oo waxay nijaaseeyeen gurigii Rabbiga, ee uu isagu Yeruusaalem quduus kaga dhigay.
Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and also the people [of Judah] became more wicked again, doing all the detestable things that the people of the other nations did, and causing the temple in Jerusalem that Yahweh had caused to be holy to become [an] unacceptable [place to worship him].
15 Oo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood goor wanaagsan ayuu iyagii u soo diray wargeeyayaashiisii, maxaa yeelay, dadkiisa iyo meesha rugtiisa ah ayuu u naxay.
Yahweh, the God whom the ancestors [of the people of Judah belonged to/worshiped], gave messages to his prophets many times, and the prophets told those messages to the people of Judah. Yahweh did that because he pitied his people and did not want his temple to be destroyed.
16 Laakiinse way ku majaajiloodeen Ilaah wargeeyayaashiisii, oo eraygiisiina way quudhsadeen, nebiyadiisiina way fududaysteen, ilaa ay cadhadii Rabbigu ku dhacday dadkiisii oo dawo loo waayay.
But the people continually made fun of God’s messengers. They despised God’s messages. They ridiculed his prophets, until finally God became extremely angry with his people, with the result that nothing could stop him [from destroying Judah].
17 Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu iyagii ku soo kiciyey boqorkii reer Kaldayiin, kaasoo raggoodii dhallinyarada ahaa seef ku laayay iyagoo ku jira gurigii meeshoodii quduuska ahayd, oo isaguna uma uu nixin wiil ama gabadh, ama oday ama cirroole, dhammaantoodna wuu u gacangeliyey.
He incited the king of Babylonia to attack [Judah with his army]. They killed the young men with their swords, even in the temple. They did not spare/pity anyone, young men or young women or old people. God enabled the army of Nebuchadnezzar to kill all of them.
18 Oo weelashii guriga Ilaah oo dhan yar iyo weynba, iyo khasnadihii guriga Rabbiga, iyo khasnadihii boqorka iyo kuwii amiirradiisaba dhammaantood wuxuu geeyey Baabuloon.
His soldiers took to Babylon all the things that were used in God’s temple—big things and little things, all the valuable things, and the valuable things that belonged to the king and his officials.
19 Oo gurigii Ilaah waa la gubay, oo derbiyadii Yeruusaalem waa la dumiyey, oo guryaheedii waaweynaa oo dhanna waa la gubay, oo weelasheedii wanaagsanaa oo dhanna waa la wada baabbi'iyey.
They burned the temple, and they broke down the wall surrounding Jerusalem. They burned all the palaces [in Jerusalem] and destroyed all the remaining valuable things there.
20 Oo kuwii seefta ka baxsadayna wuxuu u kaxaystay Baabuloon, oo waxay addoommo u ahaan jireen isaga iyo wiilashiisii ilaa la gaadhay boqortooyadii Faaris,
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers took to Babylon the remaining people who had not been killed with their swords. Then those people became the king’s slaves and his son’s slaves, until the [army of the] king of Persia conquered [the army of Babylonia].
21 si uu ku rumoobo Eraygii Rabbiga ee ka baxay afkii Yeremyaah, ilaa dalkii ku istareexay sabtiyadiisii, waayo, in alla intii uu baabba'sanaa ayuu sabti dhawrayay, si ay u dhammaadaan toddobaatan sannadood.
[Moses had said that every seventh year the people must not plant their fields; they must allow the soil to rest. But the people had not done that. So after the army of Babylonia destroyed Judah, ] the soil was allowed to rest. That continued for 70 years, fulfilling what Yahweh told Jeremiah and what Jeremiah had predicted/prophesied would happen.
22 In Eraygii Rabbiga ee Yeremyaah afkiisa ka soo baxay uu ahaado aawadeed, sannaddii kowaad oo Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris ayaa Rabbigu kiciyey ruuxii Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris, oo isna boqortooyadiisii oo dhan ayuu ogeysiis ugu dhawaaqay, oo weliba qoray, oo wuxuu yidhi,
During the first year that Cyrus was the king of Persia, in order that what Yahweh told Jeremiah would happen would occur, Yahweh motivated Cyrus to write this and proclaim it throughout his kingdom:
23 Kuuros oo ah boqorka Faaris wuxuu leeyahay, Boqortooyooyinka dhulka oo dhan waxaa i siiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada, oo wuxuu igu amray inaan isaga guri uga dhiso Yeruusaalem oo ku taal dalka Yahuudah. Haddaba ku alla kii idinku dhex jira oo dadkiisa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ahu ha la jiro oo isna ha tago.
“I, Cyrus, the king of Persia, declare that Yahweh, the God [who rules] in heaven, has enabled me to become the ruler of all the kingdoms of this world. And he wants me to [command that my workers] build a temple {a temple be built} for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of his people living among you people of Persia are allowed to go to Jerusalem. And I will pray that Yahweh will be with them.”
