¹Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.

¹Ja maa rahvas võttis Jooahase, Joosija poja, ja tõstis tema kuningaks Jeruusalemmas tema isa asemele.

²Joahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

²Jooahas oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend kolm aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kolm kuud.

³And the king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

³Aga Egiptuse kuningas kõrvaldas ta Jeruusalemmas võimult ja pani maale rahatrahvi peale: sada talenti hõbedat ja talent kulda.

⁴And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took Joahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.

⁴Ja Egiptuse kuningas tõstis tema venna Eljakimi Juuda ja Jeruusalemma kuningaks ning muutis tema nime Joojakimiks; aga Jooahase, tema venna, võttis Neko ja viis Egiptusesse.

⁵Jehoiakim 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 Jehovah his God.

⁵Joojakim oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas üksteist aastat; tema tegi kurja Issanda, oma Jumala silmis.

⁶Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.

⁶Nebukadnetsar, Paabeli kuningas, tuli tema vastu ja sidus ta vaskahelatega, et teda Paabelisse viia.

⁷Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

⁷Ka osa Issanda koja riistu viis Nebukadnetsar Paabelisse ja pani need Paabelis oma templisse.

⁸Now 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.

⁸Ja muud Joojakimi lood ja tema põlastusväärsed teod, mis ta tegi ja mis veel tema vastu leiti, vaata, need on kirja pandud Iisraeli ja Juuda Kuningate raamatus. Ja tema poeg Joojakin sai tema asemel kuningaks.

⁹Jehoiachin 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 Jehovah.

⁹Joojakin oli kuningaks saades kaheksateist aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kolm kuud ja kümme päeva; tema tegi kurja Issanda silmis.

¹⁰And at the return of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of Jehovah, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

¹⁰Ja aastavahetusel läkitas kuningas Nebukadnetsar talle järele ja laskis ta koos Issanda koja kalliste riistadega tuua Paabelisse, ja tõstis tema venna Sidkija Juuda ja Jeruusalemma kuningaks.

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

¹¹Sidkija oli kuningaks saades kakskümmend üks aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas üksteist aastat.

¹²and he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking] from the mouth of Jehovah.

¹²Tema tegi kurja Issanda, oma Jumala silmis; ta ei alandanud ennast prohvet Jeremija ees, kes rääkis Issanda käsul.

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

¹³Ta hakkas vastu ka kuningas Nebukadnetsarile, kes teda oli vannutanud Jumala juures; ja tema tegi oma kaela kangeks ja südame kõvaks ega pöördunud Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala poole.

¹⁴Moreover all the chiefs of the priests, and the people, trespassed very greatly after all the abominations of the nations; and they polluted the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

¹⁴Nõndasamuti ka kõik Juuda vürstid, preestrid ja rahvas lisasid üha üleastumisi paganate igasugu jäleduste eeskujul ja rüvetasid Issanda koja, mille ta Jeruusalemmas oli pühitsenud.

¹⁵And Jehovah, 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:

¹⁵Ja Issand, nende vanemate Jumal, läkitas neile korduvalt sõna oma käskjalgade kaudu, sest ta tahtis säästa oma rahvast ja oma eluaset.

¹⁶but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the wrath of Jehovah arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

¹⁶Aga nad pilkasid Jumala käskjalgu, põlgasid tema sõnu ja tegid nalja tema prohvetitega, kuni Issanda viha tõusis oma rahva vastu, nõnda et enam ei olnud abi.

¹⁷Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or virgin, old man or hoary-headed: he gave them all into his hand.

¹⁷Siis ta tõi nende kallale kaldealaste kuninga ja see tappis mõõgaga nende noored mehed nende pühas paigas ega andnud armu poisile ega tüdrukule, vanale ega raugale - Issand andis kõik tema kätte.

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

¹⁸Ja kõik Jumala koja riistad, suured ja väikesed, ja Issanda koja varandused ja kuninga ning tema vürstide varandused - need kõik viis ta Paabelisse.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹Ja nad põletasid Jumala koja, kiskusid maha Jeruusalemma müüri, põletasid tulega kõik selle paleed ja hävitasid kõik selle kallid asjad.

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

²⁰Ja kes olid mõõgast üle jäänud, need viis ta Paabelisse vangi ja need said orjadeks temale ja ta poegadele kuni Pärsia kuningriigi valitsuse alguseni -

²¹to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths: [for] as long as it lay desolate it kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

²¹et läheks täide Issanda sõna Jeremija suust -, kuni maa oli hüvitanud oma pidamata jäetud hingamispäevad: kõik laastatud oleku päevad olid hingamiseks, kuni seitsekümmend aastat sai täis.

²²Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah 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,

²²Aga Pärsia kuninga Koorese esimesel aastal - et läheks täide Issanda sõna Jeremija suust - äratas Issand Pärsia kuninga Koorese vaimu, nõnda et ta laskis kogu oma kuningriigis kuulutada ja ka kirjalikult öelda:

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

²³'Nõnda ütleb Koores, Pärsia kuningas: Issand, taevaste Jumal, on andnud mulle kõik kuningriigid maa peal ja tema on mind käskinud ehitada temale koja Juudas olevas Jeruusalemmas. Kes iganes teie hulgas on tema rahvast, sellega olgu Issand, tema Jumal, ja see võib minna!'
