1Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father’s place in Jerusalem.
1Eb li tenamit queßxxakab laj Joacaz li ralal laj Josías chokß rey aran Jerusalén chokß rêkaj lix yucuaß.
2Joahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
2Oxib xcaßcßâl chihab cuan re laj Joacaz nak qui-oc chokß rey. Oxib po quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén.
3The king of Egypt deposed him at Jerusalem, and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
3Lix reyeb laj Egipto quirisi laj Joacaz saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén ut quixpuersiheb laj Judá chixtojbal oxlaju câcßâl quintal li plata ut oxib arroba li oro.
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.
4Ut lix reyeb laj Egipto quixxakab chokß xreyeb laj Judá ut laj Jerusalén laj Eliaquim li rîtzßin laj Joacaz. Quixjal xcßabaß. Aj Joacim chic quixqßue chokß xcßabaß. Ut laj Necao quixcßam Egipto laj Joacaz li ras laj Joacim.
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.
5b xcaßcßâl chihab cuan re laj Joacim nak qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Junlaju chihab quicuan chokß rey aran Jerusalén. Li rey Joacim quixbânu li incßaß us chiru li Kâcuaß lix Dios.
6Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
6Laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia quipletic riqßuineb laj Judá ut quixchap laj Joacim. Quixbacß riqßuin cadena ut quixcßam toj Babilonia.
7Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of Yahweh to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
7Laj Nabucodonosor quirisi saß lix templo li Dios li cßaßru nacßanjelac aran. Quixcßam Babilonia ut quixqßueheb saß li rochoch lix dios.
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.
8Chixjunil li quixbânu laj Joacim ut li mâusilal li quixbânu tzßîbanbil retalil saß li hu li tzßîbanbil cuiß retalil li quilajeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Israel ut lix reyeb laj Judá. Ut aß chic laj Joaquín li ralal qui-oc chokß rey chokß rêkaj.
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.
9Cuakxakib chihab cuan re laj Joaquín nak qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Oxib po riqßuin lajêb cutan quicuan saß xcuanquil aran Jerusalén. Quixbânu li incßaß us chiru li Kâcuaß.
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.
10Saß li sakßehil re li chihab aßan laj Nabucodonosor lix reyeb laj Babilonia quixtakla xcßambal laj Joaquín re tâxic Babilonia. Laj Joaquín quicßameß rochbeneb li cßaßak re ru terto xtzßak li cuan saß lix templo li Kâcuaß. Ut laj Nabucodonosor quixxakab laj Sedequías li rechßalal laj Joaquín chokß xreyeb laj Judá ut eb laj Jerusalén.
11Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem:
11Jun xcaßcßâl chihab cuan re laj Sedequías nak qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá. Junlaju chihab quicuan chokß rey aran Jerusalén.
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.
12Quixbânu li incßaß us chiru li Kâcuaß lix Dios. Ut incßaß quixcubsi rib chiru li profeta Jeremías li nayehoc re li cßaßru naxye li Kâcuaß.
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.
13Quixkßetkßeti rib chiru li rey Nabucodonosor ut incßaß chic quiraj xbânunquil li juramento li quixbânu saß xcßabaß li Dios riqßuin laj Nabucodonosor. Quixcacuubresi ban lix chßôl ut incßaß quiraj sukßîc riqßuin li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel.
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.
14Eb li xbênil aj tij queßxbânu li mâusilal. Ut eb li tenamit numtajenak li mâusilal queßxbânu. Kßaxal yibru queßxbânu joß queßxbânu li jalanil tenamit. Ut riqßuin aßan queßxmux ru lix templo li Kâcuaß, li ac santobresinbil xban aran Jerusalén.
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:
15Li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb lix xeßtônil yucuaßeb nabal sut quixtakla lix profeta riqßuineb chixkßusbaleb xban nak quiril xtokßobâleb ru ut xban ajcuiß nak saß li tenamit aßan cuan lix templo.
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.
16Abanan eb laj Judá queßxseßeheb lix profeta li Dios ut queßxhob. Ut queßxtzßektâna li râtin toj retal queßxchikß xjoskßil li Dios saß xbêneb. Ut incßaß chic quixcuy xmâqueb.
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.
17Xban lix mâusilaleb laj Judá, li Kâcuaß quixcanab lix reyeb laj Babilonia chi numtâc saß xbêneb. Queßxcamsiheb chi chßîchß saß li templo li toj sâjeb. Incßaß queßril xtokßobâl ruheb li sâj cuînk ut li sâj ixk, chi moco queßril xtokßobâl ruheb li tîxeb ut eb li incßaß nequeßbêc. Quixkßaxtesiheb ban chixjunileb saß rukß lix reyeb laj Babilonia.
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.
18Lix reyeb laj Babilonia quirelkßa chixjunil li secß li nacßanjelac saß lix templo li Dios, joß nînk joß cocß. Quixcßam chixjunil li nacßanjelac saß li templo li terto xtzßak. Ut quixcßam ajcuiß li terto xtzßak li cuan saß rochoch li rey joß ajcuiß li cuan saß li rochocheb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru. Chixjunil li quirelkßa quixcßam Babilonia.
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.
19Ut queßxcßat lix templo li Dios. Queßxjucß li tzßac li sutsu cuiß li tenamit Jerusalén. Queßxcßat li rochoch li rey ut queßxpoß chixjunil li cßaßru raro xbaneb laj Judá.
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:
20Chixjunileb li incßaß queßcamsîc, queßchapeß ut queßcßameß Babilonia. Ut aran queßcana chokß xmôseb li rey ut chokß xmôseb li ralal xcßajol toj quicuulac xkßehil nak eb laj Persia queßnumta saß xbêneb laj Babilonia.
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.
21Joßcaßin quicßulman re nak tâtzßaklok ru chixjunil li quicßutbesîc chiru li profeta Jeremías xban li Kâcuaß Dios nak quixye: —Li chßochß quicana chi mâcßaß chic cuan chiru. Chi joßcan quihilan li chßochß chiru lajêb xcâcßâl chihab xban nak eb laj Israel incßaß queßxqßue chi hilânc li chßochß rajlal saß li xcuuk li chihab.—
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,
22Saß li xbên chihab roquic chokß rey aran Persia laj Ciro, nak quicßulman li cßaßru quixye li profeta Jeremías, joß quiyeheß re xban li Kâcuaß Dios. Li Kâcuaß quixqßue saß xchßôl li rey Ciro nak tixtakla li resil aßin saß chixjunil li tenamit li cuanqueb rubel xcuanquil.

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.’”
23Aßan aßin li resil li quixtakla: —Joßcaßin naxye laj Ciro lix reyeb laj Persia. Li Kâcuaß Dios li cuan saß choxa xqßueheb rubel incuanquil chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß.
