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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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;

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.

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.

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:

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,

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!'

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.
