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

¹[Ny nanjakan'i Joahaza sy Joiakima sy Joiakina ary Zedekia, sy ny nandravana an'i Jerosalema, ary ny nitondrana ny olona ho babo tany Babylona] Ary ny vahoaka naka an'i Joahaza, zanak'i Josia, ka nampanjaka azy tany Jerosalema handimby an-drainy.

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

²Telo amby roa-polo taona loahaza, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary telo volana no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.

³And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and imposed a fine upon the land of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

³Ary nesorin'ny mpanjakan'i Egypta tany Jerosalema izy, sady nampandoaviny sazy talenta volafotsy zato sy talenta volamena iray ny fanjakana.

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

⁴Ary ny mpanjakan'i Egypta nampanjaka an'i Eliakima, rahalahin'i Joahaza, tamin'ny Joda sy Jerosalema, ary ny anarany dia novany hoe Joiakima; ary Joahaza rahalahiny kosa dia nalainy ka nentiny ho any Egypta.

⁵Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God.

⁵Dimy amby roa-polo taona Joiakima, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika ambin'ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy.

⁶Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him with chains of brass to carry him to Babylon.

⁶Ary Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan'i Babylona, dia niakatra namely azy ka namatotra azy tamin'ny gadra varahina mba hitondra azy ho any Babylona.

⁷And Nebuchadnezzar carried [part] of the vessels of the house of Jehovah to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

⁷Ary ny fanaka sasany tao an-tranon'i Jehovah dia nentin'i Nebokadnezara ho any Babylona koa ka nataony tao amin'ny tempoliny tany Babylona.

⁸And 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.

⁸Ary ny tantaran'i Joiakima sisa sy ny fahavetavetana nataony mbamin'izay toetoeny rehetra, dia, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely sy ny Joda izany; ary Joiakina zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

⁹Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.

⁹Valo taona Joiakina, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary telo volana sy hafoloana no nanjakany tany Jerosalema; ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy. [Na: Valo ambin'ny folo, izahao 2 Mpan. xxiv. 8]

¹⁰And at the turn of the year king Nebuchadnezzar sent and had him brought to Babylon, with the precious vessels of the house of Jehovah; and he made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.

¹⁰Ary nony niherina ny taona, dia naniraka Nebokadnezara mpanjaka ka nitondra azy mbamin'ny fanaka tsara tao an-tranon'i Jehovah ho any Babylona, dia nampanjaka an'i Zedekia rahalahin-drainy tamin'ny Joda sy Jerosalema izy.[Heb. rahalahiny]

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

¹¹Iraika amby roa-polo taona Zedekia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary iraika ambin'ny folo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.

¹²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah his God; he humbled not himself before the prophet Jeremiah speaking from the mouth of Jehovah.

¹²Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy, fa tsy nanetry tena teo anatrehan'i Jeremia mpaminany, izay nilaza ny tenin'Andriamanitra.

¹³And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him take oath by God; and he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from returning to Jehovah the God of Israel.

¹³Ary nikomy tamin'i Nebokadnezara mpanjaka izay efa nampianiana azy tamin'Andriamanitra koa izy; ary nanamafy ny hatony sy nanasarotra ny fony izy mba tsy hiverina ho amin'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

¹⁴All the chiefs of the priests also, and the people, increased their transgressions, according to all the abominations of the nations; and they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

¹⁴Ary ny lehibe rehetra tamin'ny mpisorona sy ny vahoaka koa nanao izay mahadiso indrindra araka ny fahavetavetana rehetra fanaon'ny jentilisa ka nandoto ny tranon'i Jehovah tany Jerosalema izay nohamasininy.

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.

¹⁵Kanefa Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, nampitondra teny ny iraka izay nirahiny ho any aminy; eny, nifoha maraina koa Izy ka naniraka, fa namindra fo tamin'ny olony sy ny fonenany.

¹⁶But they mocked at the messengers of God, and despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the fury of Jehovah rose against his people, and there was no remedy.

¹⁶Kanjo ny olona nihomehy ireny irak'Andriamanitra ireny sady nanazimba ny teniny sy namazivazy ny mpaminaniny mandra-pihatry ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah taminy, ka tsy nisy nahavonjy azy.

¹⁷And he brought up [against] them the king of the Chaldees, and slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and spared not young man nor maiden, old man nor him of hoary head: he gave [them] all into his hand.

¹⁷Koa nentiny namely azy ny mpanjakan'ny Kaldeana, izay namono ny zatovony tamin'ny sabatra tao an-trano fitoerana masina, ary tsy nisy namindrany fo, na zatovo na virijina, na ny antitra sy ny fotsy volo; fa izy rehetra dia natolony ho eo an-tànany avokoa.

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, he brought all to Babylon.

¹⁸Ary ny fanaka rehetra tao an-tranon'Andriamanitra, na ny vaventy na ny madinika, mbamin'ny rakitry ny tranon'i Jehovah ary ny rakitry ny mpanjaka sy ny mpanapaka, ireny rehetra ireny dia nentiny ho any Babylona avokoa.

¹⁹And they burned the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burned all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof were given up to destruction.

¹⁹Dia nodorany koa ny tranon'Andriamanitra, ary noravany ny mandan'i Jerosalema; ny lapan'andriana rehetra tao koa dia nodorany tamin'ny afo, ary ny fanaka tsara rehetra tao nosimbany.

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

²⁰Ary ny olona sisa tsy matin-tsabatra dia nentiny ho babo tany Babylona, ka tonga mpanompo azy sy ny zanany ireny mandra-panjakan'ny mpanjakan'i Persia,

²¹to fulfil the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath, to fulfil seventy years.

²¹hanatanterahana ny tenin'i Jehovah nampilaza.na an'i Jeremia, mandra-panonitry ny tany ny Sabatany; fa tamin'ny andro rehetra izay nahafoanany dia natsahatra ny tany mba hanonitra ny Sabatany mandra-pahatapitry ny fito-polo taona.[Izaho Lev xxvi. 34]

²²And 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, and he made a proclamation throughout his kingdom, and also in writing, saying,

²²[Ny teny nataon'i Kyrosy nandefasana ny Jiosy hody ho any an-tanindrazana] Ary tamin'ny taona voalohany nanjakan'i Kyrosy, mpanjakan'i Perisa, dia notairin'i Jehovah ny fanahin'i Kyrosy mpanjakan'i Persia. mba hanatanteraka ny tenin'i Jehovah izay nampilazainy an'i Jeremia, ka dia nandefa teny eran'ny fanjakany rehetra izy, sady nataony an-tsoratra koa izany hoe:Izao no lazain'i Kyrosy, mpanjakan'i Persia: Ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin'ny tany dia efa nomen'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny lanitra, ahy; ary Izy efa nandidy ahy hanao trano ho Azy any Jerosalema, izay any Joda. Koa iza avy moa aminareo rehetra no olony? Jehovah Andriamaniny anie nomba azy, fa aoka hiakatra izy.

²³Thus says Cyrus king of Persia: All the kingdoms of the earth has Jehovah the God of the heavens given to me, and he has charged me to build him a house at 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.

²³Izao no lazain'i Kyrosy, mpanjakan'i Persia: Ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin'ny tany dia efa nomen'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny lanitra, ahy; ary Izy efa nandidy ahy hanao trano ho Azy any Jerosalema, izay any Joda. Koa iza avy moa aminareo rehetra no olony? Jehovah Andriamaniny anie nomba azy, fa aoka hiakatra izy.
