2 Chronicles 36 (WEBP)

[1] Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
[2] Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
[3] The king of Egypt removed him from office at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
[4] The king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
[5] Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight.
[6] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in fetters to carry him to Babylon.
[7] Nebuchadnezzar also carried some of the vessels of Yahweh’s house to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
[8] 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 place.
[9] Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
[10] At the return of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, with the valuable vessels of Yahweh’s house, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
[11] Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
[12] He did that which was evil in Yahweh his God’s sight. He didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from Yahweh’s mouth.
[13] He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God; but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
[14] Moreover all the chiefs of the priests and the people trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted Yahweh’s house which he had made holy in Jerusalem.
[15] Yahweh, the God of their fathers, sent to them by his messengers, rising up early and sending, because he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place;
[16] but they mocked the messengers of God, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until Yahweh’s wrath arose against his people, until there was no remedy.
[17] Therefore he brought on them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, old man or infirm. He gave them all into his hand.
[18] All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.
[19] They burned God’s house, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all of its valuable vessels.
[20] He carried those who had escaped from the sword away to Babylon, and they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia,
[21] to fulfill Yahweh’s word by Jeremiah’s mouth, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate, it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
[22] Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that Yahweh’s word by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Yahweh stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
[23] “Cyrus king of Persia says, ‘Yahweh, the God of heaven, has given all the kingdoms of the earth to me; and he has commanded me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, Yahweh his God be with him, and let him go up.’”

[1] και ελαβεν ο λαος της γης τον ιωαχαζ υιον ιωσιου και εχρισαν αυτον και κατεστησαν αυτον εις βασιλεα αντι του πατρος αυτου εν ιερουσαλημ
[2] υιος εικοσι και τριων ετων ιωαχαζ εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και τριμηνον εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ (36:2Α) και ονομα της μητρος αυτου αμιταλ θυγατηρ ιερεμιου εκ λοβενα (36:2Β) και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου κατα παντα α εποιησαν οι πατερες αυτου (36:2Χ) και εδησεν αυτον φαραω νεχαω εν δεβλαθα εν γη εμαθ του μη βασιλευειν αυτον εν ιερουσαλημ
[3] και μετηγαγεν αυτον ο βασιλευς εις αιγυπτον και επεβαλεν φορον επι την γην εκατον ταλαντα αργυριου και ταλαντον χρυσιου
[4] και κατεστησεν φαραω νεχαω τον ελιακιμ υιον ιωσιου βασιλεα ιουδα αντι ιωσιου του πατρος αυτου και μετεστρεψεν το ονομα αυτου ιωακιμ και τον ιωαχαζ αδελφον αυτου ελαβεν φαραω νεχαω και εισηγαγεν αυτον εις αιγυπτον και απεθανεν εκει (36:4Α) και το αργυριον και το χρυσιον εδωκαν τω φαραω τοτε ηρξατο η γη φορολογεισθαι του δουναι το αργυριον επι στομα φαραω και εκαστος κατα δυναμιν απητει το αργυριον και το χρυσιον παρα του λαου της γης δουναι τω φαραω νεχαω
[5] ων εικοσι και πεντε ετων ιωακιμ εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και ενδεκα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και ονομα της μητρος αυτου ζεχωρα θυγατηρ νηριου εκ ραμα και εποιησεν το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου κατα παντα οσα εποιησαν οι πατερες αυτου (36:5Α) εν ταις ημεραις αυτου ηλθεν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος εις την γην και ην αυτω δουλευων τρια ετη και απεστη απ αυτου (36:5Β) και απεστειλεν κυριος επ αυτους τους χαλδαιους και ληστηρια συρων και ληστηρια μωαβιτων και υιων αμμων και της σαμαρειας και απεστησαν μετα τον λογον τουτον κατα τον λογον κυριου εν χειρι των παιδων αυτου των προφητων (36:5Χ) πλην θυμος κυριου ην επι ιουδαν του αποστησαι αυτον απο προσωπου αυτου δια τας αμαρτιας μανασση εν πασιν οις εποιησεν (36:5Δ) και εν αιματι αθωω ω εξεχεεν ιωακιμ και επλησεν την ιερουσαλημ αιματος αθωου και ουκ ηθελησεν κυριος εξολεθρευσαι αυτους
[6] και ανεβη επ αυτον ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος και εδησεν αυτον εν χαλκαις πεδαις και απηγαγεν αυτον εις βαβυλωνα
[7] και μερος των σκευων οικου κυριου απηνεγκεν εις βαβυλωνα και εθηκεν αυτα εν τω ναω αυτου εν βαβυλωνι
[8] και τα λοιπα των λογων ιωακιμ και παντα α εποιησεν ουκ ιδου ταυτα γεγραμμενα επι βιβλιω λογων των ημερων τοις βασιλευσιν ιουδα και εκοιμηθη ιωακιμ μετα των πατερων αυτου και εταφη εν γανοζα μετα των πατερων αυτου και εβασιλευσεν ιεχονιας υιος αυτου αντ αυτου
[9] υιος οκτωκαιδεκα ετων ιεχονιας εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και τριμηνον και δεκα ημερας εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου
[10] και επιστρεφοντος του ενιαυτου απεστειλεν ο βασιλευς ναβουχοδονοσορ και εισηνεγκεν αυτον εις βαβυλωνα μετα των σκευων των επιθυμητων οικου κυριου και εβασιλευσεν σεδεκιαν αδελφον του πατρος αυτου επι ιουδαν και ιερουσαλημ
[11] ετων εικοσι ενος σεδεκιας εν τω βασιλευειν αυτον και ενδεκα ετη εβασιλευσεν εν ιερουσαλημ
[12] και εποιησεν το πονηρον ενωπιον κυριου θεου αυτου ουκ ενετραπη απο προσωπου ιερεμιου του προφητου και εκ στοματος κυριου
[13] εν τω τα προς τον βασιλεα ναβουχοδονοσορ αθετησαι α ωρκισεν αυτον κατα του θεου και εσκληρυνεν τον τραχηλον αυτου και την καρδιαν αυτου κατισχυσεν του μη επιστρεψαι προς κυριον θεον ισραηλ
[14] και παντες οι ενδοξοι ιουδα και οι ιερεις και ο λαος της γης επληθυναν του αθετησαι αθετηματα βδελυγματων εθνων και εμιαναν τον οικον κυριου τον εν ιερουσαλημ
[15] και εξαπεστειλεν κυριος ο θεος των πατερων αυτων εν χειρι προφητων ορθριζων και αποστελλων τους αγγελους αυτου οτι ην φειδομενος του λαου αυτου και του αγιασματος αυτου
[16] και ησαν μυκτηριζοντες τους αγγελους αυτου και εξουδενουντες τους λογους αυτου και εμπαιζοντες εν τοις προφηταις αυτου εως ανεβη ο θυμος κυριου εν τω λαω αυτου εως ουκ ην ιαμα
[17] και ηγαγεν επ αυτους βασιλεα χαλδαιων και απεκτεινεν τους νεανισκους αυτων εν ρομφαια εν οικω αγιασματος αυτου και ουκ εφεισατο του σεδεκιου και τας παρθενους αυτων ουκ ηλεησαν και τους πρεσβυτερους αυτων απηγαγον τα παντα παρεδωκεν εν χερσιν αυτων
[18] και παντα τα σκευη οικου θεου τα μεγαλα και τα μικρα και τους θησαυρους και παντας τους θησαυρους βασιλεως και μεγιστανων παντα εισηνεγκεν εις βαβυλωνα
[19] και ενεπρησεν τον οικον κυριου και κατεσκαψεν το τειχος ιερουσαλημ και τας βαρεις αυτης ενεπρησεν εν πυρι και παν σκευος ωραιον εις αφανισμον
[20] και απωκισεν τους καταλοιπους εις βαβυλωνα και ησαν αυτω και τοις υιοις αυτου εις δουλους εως βασιλειας μηδων
[21] του πληρωθηναι λογον κυριου δια στοματος ιερεμιου εως του προσδεξασθαι την γην τα σαββατα αυτης σαββατισαι πασας τας ημερας της ερημωσεως αυτης εσαββατισεν εις συμπληρωσιν ετων εβδομηκοντα
[22] ετους πρωτου κυρου βασιλεως περσων μετα το πληρωθηναι ρημα κυριου δια στοματος ιερεμιου εξηγειρεν κυριος το πνευμα κυρου βασιλεως περσων και παρηγγειλεν κηρυξαι εν παση τη βασιλεια αυτου εν γραπτω λεγων
[23] ταδε λεγει κυρος βασιλευς περσων πασας τας βασιλειας της γης εδωκεν μοι κυριος ο θεος του ουρανου και αυτος ενετειλατο μοι οικοδομησαι αυτω οικον εν ιερουσαλημ εν τη ιουδαια τις εξ υμων εκ παντος του λαου αυτου εσται ο θεος αυτου μετ αυτου και αναβητω
