2 Crónicas 36
1 El pueblo de la tierra tomó a Joacaz, hijo de Josías, y lo proclamó rey en Jerusalén en lugar de su padre.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 Joacaz tenía 23 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó tres meses en Jerusalén.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.
3 El rey de Egipto lo destituyó en Jerusalén, e impuso al país un tributo de 3,3 toneladas de plata y 33 kilogramos de oro.
Then the king of Egypt took the kingdom from him in Jerusalem, and put on the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Después el rey de Egipto proclamó a Eliaquim, hermano de Joacaz, como rey de Judá y Jerusalén, y cambió su nombre por Joacim. Y [el rey] Necao tomó a su hermano Joacaz y lo llevó a Egipto.
And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away to Egypt.
5 Joacim tenía 25 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 11 años en Jerusalén. Hizo lo malo ante Yavé su ʼElohim.
Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.
6 Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, subió contra él. Lo ató con grillos de bronce y lo llevó a Babilonia.
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against him, and took him away in chains to Babylon.
7 Además, Nabucodonosor llevó a Babilonia parte de los utensilios de la Casa de Yavé y los depositó en su templo en Babilonia.
And Nebuchadnezzar took away some of the vessels of the Lord's house, and put them in the house of his god in Babylon.
8 Los demás hechos de Joacim, las repugnancias que cometió y lo que fue hallado contra él, ciertamente están escritos en el rollo de los reyes de Israel y de Judá. Su hijo Joaquín reinó en su lugar.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
9 Joaquín tenía ocho años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó tres meses y diez días en Jerusalén. Hizo lo malo ante Yavé.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
10 Después del año el rey Nabucodonosor lo detuvo y lo llevó a Babilonia juntamente con los utensilios preciosos de la Casa de Yavé. Proclamó a su hermano Sedequías como rey de Judá y Jerusalén.
In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and took him away to Babylon, with the beautiful vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah, his father's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Sedequías tenía 21 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó 11 años en Jerusalén.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 Hizo lo malo ante Yavé su ʼElohim, y no se humilló delante del profeta Jeremías, quien le hablaba de parte de Yavé. También se rebeló contra el rey Nabucodonosor, ante el cual juró por ʼElohim.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and did not make himself low before Jeremiah the prophet who gave him the word of the Lord.
13 Se volvió indómito y obstinó su corazón para no regresar a Yavé, el ʼElohim de Israel.
And he took up arms against King Nebuchadnezzar, though he had made him take an oath by God; but he made his neck stiff and his heart hard, turning away from the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 También todos los jefes de los sacerdotes y el pueblo aumentaron la infidelidad al actuar según las repugnancias de las naciones y profanar la Casa de Yavé que Él santificó en Jerusalén.
And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
15 Yavé, el ʼElohim de sus antepasados, les envió sus mensajeros, porque Él se compadecía de su pueblo y de su vivienda.
And the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent word to them by his servants, sending early and frequently, because he had pity on his people and on his living-place;
16 Pero ellos se burlaron de los mensajeros de ʼElohim y despreciaron la Palabra de Él. Se burlaban de sus profetas hasta que la ira de Yavé se encendió contra su pueblo y no hubo remedio.
But they put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.
17 Entonces el rey de los caldeos subió contra ellos y mató a espada a sus jóvenes en la Casa de su Santuario. No tuvo compasión del joven, la doncella, el anciano ni el débil. A todos los entregó en su mano.
So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.
18 Llevó a Babilonia todos los utensilios de la Casa de ʼElohim, grandes y pequeños, y los tesoros de la Casa de Yavé y los del rey y de sus jefes.
And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the stored wealth of the Lord's house and the wealth of the king and his chiefs, he took away to Babylon.
19 Quemaron la Casa de ʼElohim y destruyeron el muro de Jerusalén. Incendiaron todos los edificios fortificados y destruyeron todos los objetos valiosos que había en ella.
And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.
20 A los que escaparon de la espada los llevó cautivos a Babilonia, y fueron esclavos de él y sus hijos hasta cuando se impuso el reino de Persia,
And all who had not come to death by the sword he took away prisoners to Babylon; and they became servants to him and to his sons till the kingdom of Persia came to power:
21 para que se cumpliera la Palabra de Yavé por boca de Jeremías, hasta cuando la tierra disfrutó sus sábados. Guardó sábado todo el tiempo de la desolación hasta cumplirse 70 años.
So that the words of the Lord, which he said by the mouth of Jeremiah, might come true, till the land had had pleasure in her Sabbaths; for as long as she was waste the land kept the Sabbath, till seventy years were complete.
22 En el primer año de Ciro, rey de Persia, para que se cumpliera la Palabra de Yavé pronunciada por boca de Jeremías, Yavé despertó el espíritu de Ciro, rey de Persia, quien hizo pregonar por escrito en todo su reino:
Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the words which the Lord had said by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, and he made a public statement and had it given out through all his kingdom and put in writing, saying,
23 Ciro, rey de Persia, dice: Yavé, el ʼElohim del cielo, me dio todos los reinos de la tierra y me designó para que le construya una Casa en Jerusalén, que está en Judá. El que de ustedes sea de su pueblo, que Yavé su ʼElohim sea con él, y suba.
Cyrus, king of Persia, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him and let him go up.
