2 Crónicas 36
1 Entonces el pueblo de la tierra tomó a Joacaz, hijo de Josías, e hiciéronle rey en lugar de su padre en Jerusalem.
Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.
2 De veinte y tres años era Joacaz, cuando comenzó a reinar, y tres meses reinó en Jerusalem.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.
3 Y el rey de Egipto le quitó de Jerusalem, y condenó la tierra en cien talentos de plata, y uno 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 Y constituyó el rey de Egipto a su hermano Eliacim por rey sobre Judá y Jerusalem, y mudóle el nombre Joacim: y a Joacaz su hermano tomó Necao, y llevóle 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 Cuando comenzó a reinar Joacim, era de veinte y cinco años: y reinó en Jerusalem once años: e hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová su Dios.
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 Y subió contra él Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y atado con dos cadenas le trajo a Babilonia.
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against him, and took him away in chains to Babylon.
7 Y metió también en Babilonia Nabucodonosor parte de los vasos de la casa de Jehová, y púsolos 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 Lo demás de los hechos de Joacim, y las abominaciones que hizo, y lo que en él se halló, he aquí, está escrito en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá: y reinó en su lugar Joaquín su hijo.
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 De ocho años era Joaquín cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó en Jerusalem tres meses y diez días: e hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová.
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 A la vuelta del año el rey Nabucodonosor envió, e hízole llevar en Babilonia juntamente con los vasos preciosos de la casa de Jehová: y constituyó a Sedecías su hermano por rey sobre Judá y Jerusalem.
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 De veinte y un año era Sedecías cuando comenzó a reinar, y once años reinó en Jerusalem.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová su Dios, y no se humilló delante de Jeremías profeta que le hablaba de parte de Jehová.
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 Asimismo se rebeló contra Nabucodonosor, al cual había jurado por Dios, y endureció su cerviz, y obstinó su corazón, para no volverse a Jehová el Dios 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 Y también todos los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y el pueblo, aumentaron la rebelión, rebelándose conforme a todas las abominaciones de las gentes, y contaminando la casa de Jehová, la cual él había santificado en Jerusalem.
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 Y Jehová el Dios de sus padres envió a ellos por mano de sus mensajeros, levantándose de mañana y enviando: porque él tenía misericordia de su pueblo, y de su habitación.
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 Mas ellos hacían escarnio de los mensajeros de Dios, y menospreciaban sus palabras, burlándose de sus profetas, hasta que subió el furor de Jehová contra su pueblo, y que no hubo medicina.
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 Por lo cual él trajo contra ellos al rey de los Caldeos que pasó a cuchillo sus mancebos en la casa de su santuario, sin perdonar mancebo, ni doncella, ni viejo, ni decrépito: todos los entregó en sus manos.
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 Asimismo todos los vasos de la casa de Dios, grandes y chicos, los tesoros de la casa de Jehová, y los tesoros del rey, y de sus príncipes, todo lo llevo a Babilonia.
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 Y quemaron la casa de Dios, y rompieron el muro de Jerusalem, y todos sus palacios quemaron a fuego, y destruyeron todos sus vasos deseables.
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 Los que quedaron de la espada, los pasaron a Babilonia, y fueron siervos de el y de sus hijos, hasta que vino el reino de los Persas;
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 cumpliese la palabra de Jehová por la boca de Jeremías, hasta que la tierra cumpliese sus sábados: porque todo el tiempo de su asolamiento reposó, hasta que los setenta años fueron cumplidos.
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 Mas al primer año de Ciro rey de los Persas, para que se cumpliese la palabra de Jehová dicha por la boca de Jeremías, Jehová despertó el espíritu de Ciro rey de los Persas, el cual hizo pasar pregón por todo su reino, y también por escrito, diciendo:
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 Así dice Ciro rey de los Persas: Jehová el Dios de los cielos me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra, y él me ha encargado, que le edifique casa en Jerusalem, que es en Judá: ¿Quién de vosotros hay de todo su pueblo? Jehová su Dios 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.
