Luo Chronicle 36

1 Mwet Judah elos sulella Joahaz wen natul Josiah, elan tokosra, ac mosrwella in Jerusalem.

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

2 Joahaz el yac longoul tolu ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke malem tolu.

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

3 Tokosra Neco lun Egypt el usalla nu in sruoh, ac sap acn Judah in moli paun tausin itkosr lumfoko ke silver, ac paun itngoul limekosr ke gold in mwe takma.

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

4 El sraklalak Eliakim, tamulel lal Joahaz, elan tokosrala lun Judah, ac el ekulla inel nu ke Jehoiakim, na el usalla Joahaz nu Egypt.

The 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.

5 Jehoiakim el yac longoul limekosr ke el tokosrala, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac singoul sie. El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lal.

Jehoiakim 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 YHWH his God.

6 Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el utyak ac mweuni acn Judah, ac sruokilya Jehoiakim, kaprilya ke sein ac usalla nu Babylonia.

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

7 Nebuchadnezzar el usla kutu ma saok lun Tempul, ac filiya inkul fulat sel in Babylon.

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

8 Ma nukewa ma Jehoiakim el tuh oru, ke moul fohkfok lal ac ma koluk yohk el orala, simla ke [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel Ac Judah]. Jehoiachin wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

9 Jehoiachin el yac singoul oalkosr ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke malem tolu ac len singoul. El wi pac oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD.

Jehoiachin was eighteen 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 YHWH.

10 Ke fahsr in safla pacl ohu, Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el usalla Jehoiachin nu in sruoh in Babylonia, ac el usla pac ma saok lun Tempul. Nebuchadnezzar el oru tuh Zedekiah, tamulel lal Jehoiachin, elan tokosra lun Judah ac Jerusalem.

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

11 Zedekiah el yac longoul sie ke el tokosrala lun Judah, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac singoul sie.

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

12 El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ac tia pusisel in lohng ma mwet palu Jeremiah el fahkak ke kas lun LEUM GOD.

and he did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH his God; he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of YHWH.

13 Zedekiah el forla ac lainul Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar, su akkohsyel elan fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah el ac pwayena nu sel. El likkekelana ac tiana auliyak ku forla nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel.

He also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart against turning to YHWH, the God of Israel.

14 Sayen ma inge, mwet kol lun Judah, mwet tol, ac mwet uh elos fahsr ke ouiya koluk lun mutunfacl raunelosla, ac alu nu ke ma sruloala. Ouinge elos akfohkfokye Tempul su LEUM GOD El sifacna akmutalyela.

Moreover 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 YHWH which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

15 LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumalos El supu mwet palu pacl puspis in sensenkakin mwet lal, mweyen El pakomutalos ac kena tuh elos in tia tuhlac, ac Tempul in tia musalla.

YHWH, 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:

16 Tusruktu, elos aksruksruki mwet su God El supu nu yorolos, ac pilesru kas lal, ac isrun mwet palu lal, nwe ke pacl se kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD arulana upala lainulos, ac elos tia ku in kaingkunla.

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

17 Ouinge LEUM GOD El use tokosra lun Babylonia in mweunelos. Tokosra sac el uniya mwet fusr lun Judah, elos finne muta in Tempul. Wangin pakoten lal nu sin mwet uh — mwet fusr ku mwet matu, mukul ku mutan, mwet mas ku mwet ku. God El eisalosyang nukewa nu inpaol.

Therefore 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.

18 Tokosra Babylonia el wapi Tempul, ac iwen fil ma saok lun Tempul, ac mwe kasrup lun tokosra ac mwet pwapa lal, ac usla ma inge nukewa nu Babylon.

All the vessels of God's house, great and small, and the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king, and of his officials, all these he brought to Babylon.

19 El esukak Tempul ac siti uh, wi pac lohm nukewa sin tokosra ac mwe kasrup we, ac kunausya pot lun siti uh.

They 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.

20 El usla mwet nukewa ma tia misa ke mweun nu Babylonia, yen elos ac mwet kohs nu sel ac tulik natul we, nwe ke pacl se Tokosrai Persia tuyak.

He 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:

21 Ouinge akpwayeyuk kas ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel Jeremiah mwet palu, ke El fahk, “Acn uh ac fah musalla oan ke yac itngoul, in aolla Yac in Sabbath nukewa ma mwet uh tia akfulatye.”

to fulfill the word of YHWH 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 In yac se meet ma Cyrus lun Persia el Tokosra Fulat, kas lun LEUM GOD su tutafme sel Jeremiah mwet palu, akpwayeiyukla. God El aknunakyal Cyrus tuh elan supwalik sie ma simla, in tuh ritiyuk in tokosrai nukewa ma el leum fac, su fahk:

Now in the first year of Koresh king of Persia, that the word of YHWH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, YHWH stirred up the spirit of Koresh king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

23 “Pa inge ma sap sel Cyrus, Tokosra Fulat lun Persia. LEUM GOD lun kusrao El oru tuh nga in leum fin faclu nufon, ac El srisrngiyuwi tuh nga in musai sie Tempul nu sel in Jerusalem in facl Judah. Inge, kowos nukewa su mwet lun God, kowos folokla nu we, ac lela tuh LEUM GOD lowos in wi kowos.”

"Thus says Koresh king of Persia, 'YHWH, 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, YHWH his God be with him, and let him go up.'"
