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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

⁴The 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.

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.

⁵Jehoiakim was twenty-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 Yahweh his God.

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

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

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

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.

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 place.

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]

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 Yahweh.

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]

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

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

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

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

¹²and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh his God; he didn’t humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of Yahweh.

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.

¹³He 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.

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.

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 Yahweh which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

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.

¹⁵Yahweh, 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:

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.

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

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.

¹⁷Therefore 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 gray-headed: he gave them all into his hand.

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.

¹⁸All the vessels of God’s house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.

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.

¹⁹They burnt God’s house, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels of it.

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,

²⁰He 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:

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]

²¹to fulfill the word of Yahweh by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. As long as it lay desolate it kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

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.

²²Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Yahweh 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,

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.

²³“Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘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.’”
