2 Nyakati 36
1 Kisha watu wa nchi wakamchukua Yehoazi mwana wa Yosia, na wakamfanya mfalme katika nafasi ya baba yake katika Yerusalemu.
And they took [the] people of the land Jehoahaz [the] son of Josiah and they made king him in place of father his in Jerusalem.
2 Yehoazi alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishirini alipoanza kutawala, na akatawala miezi mitatu katita Yerusalemu.
[was] a son of Three and twenty year[s] Jehoahaz when became king he and three months he reigned in Jerusalem.
3 Mfalme wa Misiri akamwondoa katika Yerusalemu, na akaitoza nchi faini ya talanta za fedha mia moja na talanta moja ya dhahabu.
And he removed him [the] king of Egypt in Jerusalem and he imposed a fine on the land one hundred talent[s] of silver and a talent of gold.
4 Mfalme wa Misiri akamfanya Eliakimu, ndugu yake, mfalme juu ya Yuda na Yerusalemu, na akambadili jina lake kuwa Yehoakimu. Kisha akamchukua ndugu yake Eliakimu - Yeahazi na kumpeleka Misiri.
And he made king [the] king of Egypt Eliakim brother his over Judah and Jerusalem and he changed name his Jehoiakim and Jehoahaz brother his he took Necho and he brought him Egypt towards.
5 Yehoakimu alikuwa na umri wa miaka ishini na tano alipoanza kutawala, na akatawala miaka kumi na moja katika Yerusalemu. Akafanya ambayao yalikuwa uovu katika macho ya Yahwe Mungu wake.
[was] a son of Twenty and five year[s] Jehoiakim when became king he and one [plus] ten year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God his.
6 Kisha Nebukadreza, mfalme wa Babeli, akamvamia na kumfunga katika minyororo kumuongoza kwenda mbali Babeli.
On him he came up Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and he bound him with bronze fetters to take him Babylon towards.
7 Nebukadreza pia akabeba baadhi ya vitu katika nyumba ya Yahwe kwenda Babeli, na akaviweka katika ikulu yake huko Babeli.
And some of [the] articles of [the] house of Yahweh he brought Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon and he put them in palace his in Babylon.
8 Kwa mambo mengine kuhusu Yehoyakimu, mambo mabaya aliyofanya, na yaliyopatikana zidi yake, tazama, yameandikwa katika kitabu cha wafalme wa Yuda na Israeli. Basi Yehoyakimu, mwanaye, akawa mfalme katika nafasi yake.
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Jehoiakim and abominations his which he did and [what] was found on him there they [are] written on [the] scroll of [the] kings of Israel and Judah and he became king Jehoiachin son his in place of him.
9 Yehoyakimu alikuwa na umri wa miaka minane alipoanza kutawala; alitawala miezi mitatu na siku kumi katika Yerusalemu. Akafanya yaliyokuwa maovu katika macho ya Yahwe.
[was] a son of Eight years Jehoiachin when became king he and three months and ten days he reigned in Jerusalem and he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh.
10 Katika kipindi cha mwisho wa mwaka, mfalme Nebukadreza akatuma watu na wakampelekea Babeli, vitu vya thamani kutoka katika anyumba ya Yahwe, na kumfanya Sedekia ndugu yake, mfalame juu ya Yuda na Yerusalemu.
And to [the] return of the year he sent the king Nebuchadnezzar and he brought him Babylon towards with [the] articles of preciousness of [the] house of Yahweh and he made king Zedekiah relative his over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Sedekia alikuwa na umri wa miaka isshirini na moja alipoanza kutawala; akatawala miaka kumi na moja katika Yerusalemu. Akafanya yaliokuwa uovu katika macho ya Yahwe Mungu wake.
[was] a son of Twenty and one year[s] Zedekiah when became king he and one [plus] ten year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem.
12 Hakujinyenyekesha mwenyewe mbele za Yeremia nabii, ambaye alisema kutoka kwenye kinywa cha Yahwe.
And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh God his not he humbled himself from to before Jeremiah the prophet from [the] mouth of Yahweh.
13 Sedekia pia akaasi zidi ya Mfalme Nebukadreza, ambaye alikuwa amemfanya aape uaminifu kwake kupitia Mungu. Lakini Sedekia aliishupaza shingo yake na kuufanya moyo wake mgumu usigeuke kwa Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli.
And also against the king Nebuchadnezzar he rebelled who he had made swear an oath him by God and he made stiff neck his and he made hard heart his from turning back to Yahweh [the] God of Israel.
14 Vilevile, viongozi wote wa makauhanai na wa watu hawakuwa waaminifu, na waliufuata uovu wa mataiafa. Waliigoshi nyumba ya Yahwe ambayo alikuwa ameitakasa katika Yerusalemu.
Also all [the] leaders of the priests and the people they increased (to act unfaithfully *Q(K)*) unfaithfulness according to all [the] abominations of the nations and they made unclean [the] house of Yahweh which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15 Yahwe, Mungu wa babu zao, akatuma maneno kwao tena na tena kupitia wajumbe wake, kwa sababu alikuwa na huruma juu ya watu wake na juu ya sehemu anayoishi.
And he sent Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their to them by [the] hand of messengers his rising early and sending for he had compassion on people his and on dwelling place his.
16 Lakini waliwadhihaki wajumbe wa Mungu, wakayadharau maneno yake, na kuwackeka manabii wake, hadi hasira ya Yahwe ilipoinuka zidi ya watu wake, hadi pailipokosekana msaada.
And they were deriding [the] messengers of God and despising words his and mocking at prophets his until came up [the] anger of Yahweh on people his until there not [was] healing.
17 Hivyo Mungu alimpeleka juu yao mfalme wa Wakaldayo, ambaye aliwaua vijana wao kwa upanga ndani ya patakatifu, na hakuwa na huruma juu ya vijana au mabikra, watu wazee au wenye mvi. Mungu akawatoa wote mikononi mwake.
And he brought up on them [the] king of ([the] Chaldeans *Q(k)*) and he killed young men their with the sword in [the] house of sanctuary their and not he had compassion on young man and young woman [the] old and [the] decrepit everyone he gave in hand his.
18 Vyombo vyote vya nyumba ya Mungu, vikubwa na vidogo, hazina za nyumba ya Yahwe, na hazina za mfalme na watumishi wake—vyote hivi akavipeleka Babeli.
And all [the] articles of [the] house of God great and small and [the] treasures of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] treasures of the king and officials his everything he brought Babylon.
19 Wakaichoma moto nyumba ya Mungu, wakauangusha chini ukuta wa Yerusalemu, wakachoma ikulu zake zote, na wakaharibu vitu vizuri vyote ndani yake.
And they burned [the] house of God and they pulled down [the] wall of Jerusalem and all palaces its they burned with fire and all [the] articles of preciousness its to destroy.
20 Mfalme akawapeleka mbali Babeli wale waliokuwa wameoka na upanga. Wakawa watumishi kwa ajili yake na wanawe hadi utawala wa Waajemi.
And he took into exile the remainder from the sword to Babylon and they became for him and for sons his slaves until reigned [the] kingdom of Persia.
21 Hili lilitokea ili kulitimiza neno la Yahwe kwa kinywa cha Yeremia, hadi nchi itakapokuwa imefurahia mapumziko ya Sabato yake. Iliishika Sabato kwa muda mrefu hadi kukataliwa kwake, ili miaka sabini itimie katika namna hii.
To fulfill [the] word of Yahweh by [the] mouth of Jeremiah until it has accepted the land sabbaths its all [the] days of the desolation of it it rested to complete seventy year[s].
22 Sasa katika mwaka wa kwanza wa Koreshi, mfalme wa Uajemi, ili kwamba neno la Yahwe kwa kinywa cha Yeremia liweze kutimizwa, Yahwe akaipa hamasa roho ya Koreshi, mfalme wa Uajemi, kwamba akafanya tangazo katika uflme wake wote, na akaliweka pia katika maandishi. Akasema,
And in year one of Cyrus [the] king of Persia to fulfill [the] word of Yahweh by [the] mouth of Jeremiah he stirred up Yahweh [the] spirit of Cyrus [the] king of Persia and he caused to pass a proclamation in all kingdom his and also in writing saying.
23 “Hivi ndivyo Koreshi, mfalme wa Uajemi, anasema: Yahwe, Mungu wa mbinguni, amenipa falme zote za dunia. Ameniagiza nijenge nyumbaa kwa ajili yake katika Yerusalemu, ambao upo Yuda. Yeyote aliyemiongoni mwenu kutoma katika watu wake wote, Yahwe Mungu wenu, awe naye. Aende kwenye ile nchi.”
Thus he says Cyrus - [the] king of Persia all [the] kingdoms of the earth he has given to me Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and he he has appointed me to build for him a house in Jerusalem which [is] in Judah who? [is] among you from all people his Yahweh God his [be] with him and let him go up.
