36 Markaasaa dadkii waddanku soo wateen Yehoo'aaxaas ina Yoosiyaah, oo waxay meeshii aabbihiis boqor ugaga dhigeen Yeruusaalem.

Yoo'aaxaas, Boqorkii Yahuudah

Oo Yoo'aaxaasna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray saddex iyo labaatan sannadood, oo intii saddex bilood ah ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ku ahaa. Markaasaa boqorkii Masar Yeruusaalem kaga dejiyey carshigiisii, oo dalkiina wuxuu saaray baad ah boqol talanti oo lacag ah iyo talanti dahab ah. Kolkaasaa boqorkii Masar wuxuu dalkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba boqor uga dhigay walaalkiis Elyaaqiim, oo magiciisiina wuxuu u beddelay Yehooyaaqiim. Oo walaalkiis Yoo'aaxaasna Nekoo wuxuu u kaxaystay dalkii Masar.

Yehooyaaqiim, Boqorkii Yahuudah

Oo Yehooyaaqiimna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ku ahaa kow iyo toban sannadood, oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah hortiisa. Oo waxaa isagii ku soo kacay Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, silsilado buuna ku xidhay oo Baabuloon u kaxaystay. Oo Nebukadnesar weliba wuxuu kaloo Baabuloon u qaatay weelashii guriga Rabbiga, oo wuxuu dhigtay macbudkiisii Baabuloon ku yiil. Haddaba Yehooyaaqiim falimihiisii kale, iyo karaahiyadiisii uu sameeyey, iyo wixii isaga laga helayba, bal eeg, dhammaantood waxay ku qoran yihiin kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Israa'iil iyo dalka Yahuudah, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Yehooyaakiin.

Yehooyaakiin, Boqorkii Yahuudah

Oo Yehooyaakiinna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray siddeed sannadood, oo Yeruusaalem boqor buu ku ahaa saddex bilood iyo toban maalmood, oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah. 10 Oo markii sannaddii soo wareegtay ayaa Boqor Nebukadnesar soo cid diray, oo wuxuu Baabuloon keenay isagii iyo weelashii wanaagsanaa oo gurigii Rabbiga, oo walaalkiis Sidqiyaahna ayuu boqor uga dhigay dalkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem.

Sidqiyaah, Boqorkii Yahuudah

11 Oo Sidqiyaahna markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray kow iyo labaatan sannadood, oo Yeruusaalemna wuxuu boqor ku ahaa kow iyo toban sannadood. 12 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah hortiisa shar ku ah, oo iskuma uu hoosaysiin Nebi Yeremyaah oo afka Rabbiga ku hadlayay hortiisa. 13 Oo weliba wuxuu ka fallaagoobay Boqor Nebukadnesar oo isaga Ilaah ku dhaariyey, laakiinse wuu madax adkaaday oo qalbigiisana wuu qallafiyey si uusan ugu soo noqon Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil. 14 Oo weliba kuwii wadaaddada sarsare ahaa iyo dadkiiba si weyn bay u xadgudbeen oo waxay wada sameeyeen karaahiyadii quruumuhu samayn jireen oo dhan, oo waxay nijaaseeyeen gurigii Rabbiga, ee uu isagu Yeruusaalem quduus kaga dhigay.

Dumistii Yeruusaalem

15 Oo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood goor wanaagsan ayuu iyagii u soo diray wargeeyayaashiisii, maxaa yeelay, dadkiisa iyo meesha rugtiisa ah ayuu u naxay. 16 Laakiinse way ku majaajiloodeen Ilaah wargeeyayaashiisii, oo eraygiisiina way quudhsadeen, nebiyadiisiina way fududaysteen, ilaa ay cadhadii Rabbigu ku dhacday dadkiisii oo dawo loo waayay. 17 Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu iyagii ku soo kiciyey boqorkii reer Kaldayiin, kaasoo raggoodii dhallinyarada ahaa seef ku laayay iyagoo ku jira gurigii meeshoodii quduuska ahayd, oo isaguna uma uu nixin wiil ama gabadh, ama oday ama cirroole, dhammaantoodna wuu u gacangeliyey. 18 Oo weelashii guriga Ilaah oo dhan yar iyo weynba, iyo khasnadihii guriga Rabbiga, iyo khasnadihii boqorka iyo kuwii amiirradiisaba dhammaantood wuxuu geeyey Baabuloon. 19 Oo gurigii Ilaah waa la gubay, oo derbiyadii Yeruusaalem waa la dumiyey, oo guryaheedii waaweynaa oo dhanna waa la gubay, oo weelasheedii wanaagsanaa oo dhanna waa la wada baabbi'iyey. 20 Oo kuwii seefta ka baxsadayna wuxuu u kaxaystay Baabuloon, oo waxay addoommo u ahaan jireen isaga iyo wiilashiisii ilaa la gaadhay boqortooyadii Faaris, 21 si uu ku rumoobo Eraygii Rabbiga ee ka baxay afkii Yeremyaah, ilaa dalkii ku istareexay sabtiyadiisii, waayo, in alla intii uu baabba'sanaa ayuu sabti dhawrayay, si ay u dhammaadaan toddobaatan sannadood.

22 In Eraygii Rabbiga ee Yeremyaah afkiisa ka soo baxay uu ahaado aawadeed, sannaddii kowaad oo Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris ayaa Rabbigu kiciyey ruuxii Kuuros oo ahaa boqorkii Faaris, oo isna boqortooyadiisii oo dhan ayuu ogeysiis ugu dhawaaqay, oo weliba qoray, oo wuxuu yidhi, 23 Kuuros oo ah boqorka Faaris wuxuu leeyahay, Boqortooyooyinka dhulka oo dhan waxaa i siiyey Rabbiga ah Ilaaha samada, oo wuxuu igu amray inaan isaga guri uga dhiso Yeruusaalem oo ku taal dalka Yahuudah. Haddaba ku alla kii idinku dhex jira oo dadkiisa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ahu ha la jiro oo isna ha tago.

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.’”
