Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Paghari ni Jehoahaz sa Juda
(2 Hari 23:30-35)
36 Ang anak ni Josia nga si Jehoahaz maoy gipili sa mga tawo nga ipuli ingon nga hari sa Jerusalem. 2 Nagaedad si Jehoahaz ug 23 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa tulo ka bulan. 3 Unya gipapahawa siya gikan sa iyang trono sa hari sa Ehipto nga si Neco, ug gipabayad ni Neco ang mga taga-Juda ug buhis nga 3,500 ka kilong pilak ug 35 ka kilong bulawan. 4 Gibihag ni Neco si Jehoahaz ngadto sa Ehipto, ug gihimo niya nga hari sa Jerusalem ug sa ubang bahin sa Juda si Eliakim nga igsoon ni Jehoahaz. Giilisan niya ang ngalan ni Eliakim ug Jehoyakim.
Ang Paghari ni Jehoyakim sa Juda
(2 Hari 23:36–24:7)
5 Nagaedad si Jehoyakim ug 25 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa 11 ka tuig. Daotan ang iyang gihimo atubangan sa Ginoo nga iyang Dios. 6 Gisulong siya ni Nebucadnezar nga hari sa Babilonia ug gikadenahan, ug gidala sa Babilonia. 7 Gidala usab ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia ang uban nga mga kagamitan sa templo sa Ginoo ug gibutang sa iyang palasyo.[a]
8 Ang uban pang sugilanon mahitungod sa paghari ni Jehoyakim ug ang ngil-ad ug daotan nga mga butang nga iyang gihimo nahisulat sa libro sa mga sugilanon bahin sa mga hari sa Israel ug Juda. Si Jehoyakin nga iyang anak mao ang mipuli kaniya ingon nga hari.
Ang Paghari ni Jehoyakin sa Juda
(2 Hari 24:8-17)
9 Nagaedad si Jehoyakin ug 18 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa tulo ka bulan ug napulo ka adlaw. Daotan ang iyang gihimo atubangan sa Ginoo. 10 Sa unang bulan sa tuig, gipakuha ni Nebucadnezar si Jehoyakin ug gipadala sa Babilonia uban sa mga mahalong kabtangan gikan sa templo sa Ginoo, ug gihimo niyang hari sa Jerusalem ug sa ubang bahin sa Juda ang uyoan ni Jehoyakin nga si Zedekia.
Ang Paghari ni Zedekia sa Juda
(2 Hari 24:18-20; Jer. 52:1-3)
11 Nagaedad si Zedekia ug 21 ka tuig sa dihang nahimo siyang hari. Sa Jerusalem siya nagpuyo, ug naghari siya sulod sa 11 ka tuig. 12 Daotan ang iyang gihimo atubangan sa Ginoo nga iyang Dios ug wala siya magpaubos sa iyang kaugalingon kang Propeta Jeremias, nga tigsulti sa mensahe sa Ginoo. 13 Mirebelde usab siya kang Haring Nebucadnezar, bisan ug gipapanumpa siya niini sa ngalan sa Dios nga magmatinud-anon siya kaniya. Gahi kaayog kasingkasing si Zedekia, ug nagdumili siya sa pagbalik sa Ginoo, ang Dios sa Israel. 14 Gawas pa niana, ang tanang pangulo sa mga pari ug sa mga katawhan wala na magmatinumanon sa Dios. Gisunod nila ang daotan nga mga binuhatan sa uban nga mga nasod ug gipanamastamasan nila ang templo sa Ginoo, nga gipakabalaan sa Ginoo didto sa Jerusalem.
Ang Pagkalaglag sa Jerusalem
(2 Hari 24:20b–25:21; Jer. 52:3b-11)
15 Kanunayng nagpahimangno kanila ang Ginoo, ang Dios sa ilang mga katigulangan, pinaagi sa iyang mga propeta, tungod kay nalooy siya kanila ug sa iyang templo. 16 Apan gibugalbugalan nila ang mga propeta sa Dios, gitamay, ug gisalikway ang ilang mga mensahe hangtod nga nasuko ang Ginoo kanila, ug wala nay makapugong niini. 17 Gipasulong sa Ginoo ang mga taga-Babilonia[b] ngadto kanila, nga mipatay sa ilang batan-ong mga lalaki didto sa templo. Wala siyay gikaloy-an, lalaki man o babaye, bata man o tigulang, masakiton man o dili. Gitugyan sa Dios ang tanan niyang katawhan ngadto kang Nebucadnezar. 18 Gidala ni Nebucadnezar ngadto sa Babilonia ang tanang kagamitan sa templo sa Dios, gagmay man o dagko, ingon man ang tanang bahandi sa templo, sa hari, ug sa iyang mga opisyal. 19 Unya gisunog nila ang templo sa Dios ug gilumpag ang paril sa Jerusalem. Gisunog usab nila ang tanang lig-ong bahin sa siyudad, ug gipangguba ang tanang mahalong mga butang didto. 20 Gibihag ni Nebucadnezar ngadto sa Babilonia ang nahibiling mga Israelinhon, ug nahimo niya silang mga ulipon ug ingon man sa iyang mga anak, hangtod nga nahimong gamhanan ang gingharian sa Persia. 21 Busa natuman ang giingon sa Ginoo pinaagi kang Propeta Jeremias nga mahimong awaaw ang yuta ug makapahulay kini sulod sa 70 ka tuig.
Gipabalik ni Cyrus ang mga Israelinhon sa Ilang Yuta
(Ezra 1:1-4)
22 Sa unang tuig sa paghari ni Cyrus sa Persia, gituman sa Ginoo ang iyang gisulti pinaagi kang Jeremias. Gitandog niya ang kasingkasing ni Cyrus sa paghimog usa ka pahibalo. Gisulat kini ug gipadala sa tibuok niyang gingharian. 23 Mao kini ang giingon ni Cyrus nga hari sa Persia:
“Gihatag kanako sa Ginoo, ang Dios sa langit,[c] ang tanan nga gingharian dinhi sa kalibotan, ug gihatagan niya ako sa responsibilidad sa pagpatukod ug templo alang kaniya didto sa Jerusalem nga sakop sa Juda. Kamong tanan nga katawhan sa Dios mahimo nang mobalik sa inyong yuta, ug hinaut nga ubanan niya kamo.”
2 Chronicles 36
New International Version
36 1 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)
2 Jehoahaz[a] was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. 3 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. 4 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)
5 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. 6 Nebuchadnezzar(G) king of Babylon attacked him and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon.(H) 7 Nebuchadnezzar also took to Babylon articles from the temple of the Lord and put them in his temple[d] there.(I)
8 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)
9 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.’”

King James Version
36 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord 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 stead.
9 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.
