Ang Paghari ni Jehoahaz sa Juda(A)

36 Ang anak ni Josia nga si Jehoahaz amo ang ginbulos sang mga tawo nga hari sa Jerusalem. Nagaedad si Jehoahaz sang 23 ka tuig sang nangin hari siya. Sa Jerusalem siya nag-estar, kag naghari siya sa sulod sang tatlo ka bulan. Sang ulihi ginpahalin siya sa trono sang hari sang Egipto nga si Neco, kag ginpabayad ni Neco ang Juda sang buhis nga mga 3,500 ka kilo nga pilak kag 35 ka kilo nga bulawan. Ginbihag ni Neco si Jehoahaz sa Egipto, kag ginhimo niya si Eliakim nga utod ni Jehoahaz nga hari sang Juda kag Jerusalem. Gin-ilisan ni Neco ang ngalan ni Eliakim nga Jehoyakim.

Ang Paghari ni Jehoyakim sa Juda(B)

Nagaedad si Jehoyakim sang 25 ka tuig sang nangin hari siya. Sa Jerusalem siya nag-estar, kag naghari siya sa sulod sang 11 ka tuig. Malain ang iya ginhimo sa panulok sang Ginoo nga iya Dios. Ginsalakay siya ni Haring Nebucadnezar sang Babilonia kag ginkadenahan, kag gindala sa Babilonia. Gindala man ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia ang iban nga mga kagamitan sang templo sang Ginoo kag ginbutang sa iya palasyo.[a]

Ang iban pa nga mga estorya parte sa paghari ni Jehoyakim kag ang mga makangilil-ad kag malaot nga mga butang nga iya ginhimo nasulat sa Libro sang Kasaysayan sang mga Hari sang Israel kag Juda. Kag si Jehoyakin nga iya anak amo ang nagbulos sa iya bilang hari.

Ang Paghari ni Jehoyakin sa Juda(C)

Nagaedad si Jehoyakin sang 18 ka tuig sang nangin hari siya. Sa Jerusalem siya nag-estar, kag naghari siya sa sulod sang tatlo ka bulan kag napulo ka adlaw. Malain ang iya ginhimo sa panulok sang Ginoo. 10 Pagsugod sang bag-o nga tuig, ginbihag ni Haring Nebucadnezar si Jehoyakin sa Babilonia. Ginpanguha niya ang malahalon nga mga pagkabutang sa templo sang Ginoo, kag ginhimo niya ang tiyo ni Jehoyakin nga si Zedekia nga hari sang Juda kag Jerusalem.

Ang Paghari ni Zedekia sa Juda(D)

11 Nagaedad si Zedekia sang 21 ka tuig sang nangin hari siya. Sa Jerusalem siya nag-estar, kag naghari siya sa sulod sang 11 ka tuig. 12 Malain ang iya ginhimo sa panulok sang Ginoo nga iya Dios kag wala siya nagpaubos sang iya kaugalingon kay Propeta Jeremias nga manughambal sang Ginoo. 13 Nagrebelde man siya kay Haring Nebucadnezar, bisan ginpasumpa niya siya sa ngalan sang Dios nga indi siya magtraidor sa iya. Matig-a gid ang tagipusuon ni Zedekia. Indi gid siya magbalik sa Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel. 14 Wala labot sa iya, ang tanan nga pangulo sang mga pari kag sang katawhan nangin maluibon pa gid sa Dios. Ginsunod nila ang makangilil-ad nga mga ginahimo sang iban nga mga nasyon kag gindagtaan nila ang templo sang Ginoo, nga ginpakabalaan niya sa Jerusalem.

Ang Pagkalaglag sang Jerusalem(E)

15 Permi nagapakighambal sa ila ang Ginoo, ang Dios sang ila mga katigulangan, paagi sa iya mga propeta, tungod kay naluoy siya sa ila kag sa iya templo. 16 Pero ginyaguta nila ang mga propeta sang Dios, ginkadlawan, kag ginbaliwala ang ila mga mensahi. Gani naakig ang Ginoo sa ila, kag wala sing may makapugong sa iya. 17 Ginpasalakay niya ang mga taga-Babilonia[b] sa ila. Ginpamatay sang mga taga-Babilonia ang ila bataon nga mga lalaki bisan sa templo. Wala gid sila sing kaluoy sa kay bisan sin-o, lalaki man ukon babayi, bata man ukon tigulang, masakiton man ukon indi. Gintugyan sang Dios ang tanan niya nga katawhan kay Nebucadnezar. 18 Gindala ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia ang tanan nga kagamitan sa templo sang Dios, gagmay kag dalagko, kag ang tanan nga manggad sang templo, sang hari, kag sang iya mga opisyal. 19 Ginsunog nila ang templo sang Dios kag ginrumpag ang pader sang Jerusalem. Ginsunog man nila ang tanan nga mabakod nga parte sang siyudad, kag gin-guba ang tanan nga malahalon nga mga butang. 20 Ginbihag ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia ang mga Israelinhon nga wala mapatay, kag nangin mga ulipon niya sila kag sang iya mga anak hasta nga naggahom ang ginharian sang Persia. 21 Gani natuman ang ginsiling sang Ginoo paagi kay Propeta Jeremias nga mangin mamingaw ang duta kag makapahuway ini sa sulod sang 70 ka tuig.

Ginpabalik ni Cyrus ang mga Israelinhon sa Ila Duta(F)

22 Sang nahauna nga tuig sang paghari ni Cyrus sa Persia, gintandog sang Ginoo ang tagipusuon ni Cyrus nga magsulat sang isa ka pahibalo nga ibantala sa bug-os niya nga ginharian. Natabo ini agod matuman ang ginsiling sang Ginoo paagi kay Jeremias.[c] 23 Amo ini ang pahibalo ni Haring Cyrus sang Persia:

“Ginhatag sa akon sang Ginoo, ang Dios sang langit,[d] ang tanan nga ginharian diri sa kalibutan, kag gintugyanan niya ako sa pagpatindog sang templo para sa iya didto sa Jerusalem nga sakop sang Juda. Kamo tanan nga katawhan sang Dios, magbalik na kamo sa inyo duta. Kag kabay pa nga updan niya kamo.”

36 And the people(A) of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.

Jehoahaz King of Judah(B)

Jehoahaz[a] was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. The king of Egypt dethroned him in Jerusalem and imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents[b] of silver and a talent[c] of gold. The king of Egypt made Eliakim, a brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem and changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Necho(C) took Eliakim’s brother Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt.(D)

Jehoiakim King of Judah(E)

Jehoiakim(F) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. Nebuchadnezzar(G) king of Babylon attacked him and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.(H) Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon articles from the temple of the Lord and put them in his temple[d] there.(I)

The other events of Jehoiakim’s reign, the detestable things he did and all that was found against him, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son succeeded him as king.

Jehoiachin King of Judah(J)

Jehoiachin(K) was eighteen[e] years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 10 In the spring, King Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and brought him to Babylon,(L) together with articles of value from the temple of the Lord, and he made Jehoiachin’s uncle,[f] Zedekiah, king over Judah and Jerusalem.

Zedekiah King of Judah(M)

11 Zedekiah(N) was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. 12 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord(O) his God and did not humble(P) himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke the word of the Lord. 13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take an oath(Q) in God’s name. He became stiff-necked(R) and hardened his heart and would not turn to the Lord, the God of Israel. 14 Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people became more and more unfaithful,(S) following all the detestable practices of the nations and defiling the temple of the Lord, which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.

The Fall of Jerusalem(T)(U)

15 The Lord, the God of their ancestors, sent word to them through his messengers(V) again and again,(W) because he had pity on his people and on his dwelling place. 16 But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his words and scoffed(X) at his prophets until the wrath(Y) of the Lord was aroused against his people and there was no remedy.(Z) 17 He brought up against them the king of the Babylonians,[g](AA) who killed their young men with the sword in the sanctuary, and did not spare young men(AB) or young women, the elderly or the infirm.(AC) God gave them all into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar.(AD) 18 He carried to Babylon all the articles(AE) from the temple of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the Lord’s temple and the treasures of the king and his officials. 19 They set fire(AF) to God’s temple(AG) and broke down the wall(AH) of Jerusalem; they burned all the palaces and destroyed(AI) everything of value there.(AJ)

20 He carried into exile(AK) to Babylon the remnant, who escaped from the sword, and they became servants(AL) to him and his successors until the kingdom of Persia came to power. 21 The land enjoyed its sabbath rests;(AM) all the time of its desolation it rested,(AN) until the seventy years(AO) were completed in fulfillment of the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah.

22 In the first year of Cyrus(AP) king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm and also to put it in writing:

23 “This is what Cyrus king of Persia says:

“‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has appointed(AQ) me to build a temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of his people among you may go up, and may the Lord their God be with them.’”

36 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God.

Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.

10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.

12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord.

13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.

14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:

16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.

18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.

19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.

20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
