2 Chronicles 36
1 Àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ náà mú Jehoahasi ọmọ Josiah wọn sì fi jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu ni ipò baba rẹ̀.
The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in succession to his father.
2 Jehoahasi sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́tàlélógún nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún oṣù mẹ́ta.
Jehoahaz was twenty-three when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for three months.
3 Ọba Ejibiti yọ kúrò lórí ìtẹ́ ní Jerusalẹmu, ó sì bù fún un lórí Juda, ọgọ́rùn-ún tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà àti tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà kan.
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 Ọba Ejibiti sì mú Eliakimu, arákùnrin Joahasi, jẹ ọba lórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu, ó sì yí orúkọ Eliakimu padà sí Jehoiakimu, ṣùgbọ́n Neko mú Joahasi arákùnrin Eliakimu lọ sí Ejibiti.
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 Jehoiakimu sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún méjìlá. Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
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 Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli sì mú un, ó sì dè é pẹ̀lú ẹ̀wọ̀n láti mú un lọ sí Babeli.
Then Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jehoiakim. He captured him and put bronze shackles on him, and brought him to Babylon.
7 Nebukadnessari kó nínú ohun èlò ilé Olúwa lọ si Babeli pẹ̀lú, ó sì fi wọn sí ààfin rẹ̀ ní Babeli.
Nebuchadnezzar also took some items from the Lord's Temple, and he put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 Ìyókù iṣẹ́ ìjọba Jehoiakimu, àwọn ohun ìríra tí ó ṣe àti gbogbo ohun tí a rí nípa rẹ̀, ni a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn ọba Israẹli àti Juda. Jehoiakini ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
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 Jehoiakini sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún méjìdínlógún nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ́ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún oṣù mẹ́ta àti ọjọ́ mẹ́wàá ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa.
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 Ní àkókò òjò, ọba Nebukadnessari ránṣẹ́ sí i ó sì mú un wá sí Babeli, pẹ̀lú ohun èlò dáradára láti ilé Olúwa, ó sì mú arákùnrin Jehoiakini, Sedekiah, jẹ ọba lórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.
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 Sedekiah jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mọ́kànlélógún nígbà tí ó di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kànlá.
Zedekiah was twenty-one when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eleven years.
12 Ó sì ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, kò sì rẹ ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ níwájú Jeremiah wòlíì ẹni tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
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 Ó sì tún ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọba Nebukadnessari pẹ̀lú, ẹni tí ó mú kí ó fi orúkọ Ọlọ́run búra. Ó sì di ọlọ́run líle, ó sì mú ọkàn rẹ̀ le láti má lè yípadà sí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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 Síwájú sí i gbogbo àwọn olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn ènìyàn sì di ẹni tí ń dẹ́ṣẹ̀ gidigidi, pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìríra àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ́n sì sọ ilé Olúwa di èérí, tí ó ti yà sí mímọ́ ní Jerusalẹmu.
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 Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn ránṣẹ́ sí wọn láti ọwọ́ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ síwájú àti síwájú sí i, nítorí tí ó ní ìyọ́nú sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ àti sí ibùgbé rẹ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ń kùn sí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run, wọ́n kẹ́gàn ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, wọ́n fi àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀ ṣẹ̀sín títí tí ìbínú Olúwa fi ru sórí wọn, sí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kò sì ṣí àtúnṣe.
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 Ó sì mú wá sórí wọn ọba àwọn ará Babeli tí wọ́n bá àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin wọn jà pẹ̀lú idà ní ilẹ̀ ibi mímọ́, kò sì ní ìyọ́nú sí àgbà ọkùnrin tàbí ọ̀dọ́mọdébìnrin, wúńdíá, tàbí arúgbó. Ọlọ́run sì fi gbogbo wọn lé Nebukadnessari lọ́wọ́.
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 Ó sì mú gbogbo ohun èlò láti ilé Ọlọ́run lọ sí Babeli, ńlá àti kékeré àti ìṣúra ilé Olúwa àti ìṣúra ọba àti ìjòyè rẹ̀.
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 Wọ́n sì fi iná sun ilé Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì wó gbogbo ògiri ilé Jerusalẹmu, wọ́n sì jó gbogbo ààfin wọn, wọ́n sì ba gbogbo ohun èlò ibẹ̀ jẹ́.
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 Ó sì kó èyí tí ó kù lọ sí Babeli àwọn tí ó rí ibi sá kúrò lẹ́nu idà wọ́n sì di ìránṣẹ́ fún un àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ títí tí ìjọba Persia fi gba agbára.
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 Ilẹ̀ náà sì gbádùn ìsinmi rẹ̀, ní gbogbo ìgbà ìdahoro, òun sì ń sinmi títí àádọ́rin ọdún fi pé ní ìmúṣẹ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí a sọ láti ẹnu Jeremiah.
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 Ní ọdún kìn-ín-ní Kirusi ọba Persia, kí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí a tẹnu Jeremiah sọ bá à le ṣẹ pé, Olúwa run ẹ̀mí Kirusi ọba Persia láti ṣe ìkéde ní gbogbo ìjọba rẹ̀, ó sì kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé pẹ̀lú.
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 “Èyí ni ohun tí Kirusi ọba Persia sọ wí pé: “‘Olúwa, Ọlọ́run ọ̀run, ti fún mí ní gbogbo ìjọba ayé yìí, ó sì ti yàn mí láti kọ́ ilé Olúwa fún òun ní Jerusalẹmu ti Juda. Ẹnikẹ́ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ láàrín yín le gòkè lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ kí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.’”
“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.’”
