2 Chronicles 36
1 Then the people of the lande tooke Iehoahaz the sonne of Iosiah, and made him king in his fathers steade in Ierusalem.
Abantu belizwe basebethatha uJehowahazi indodana kaJosiya, bambeka waba yinkosi esikhundleni sikayise eJerusalema.
2 Iehoahaz was three and twentie yeere old when he began to reigne, and he reigned three moneths in Ierusalem.
UJehowahazi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu esiba yinkosi; wasebusa inyanga ezintathu eJerusalema.
3 And the King of Egypt tooke him away at Ierusalem, and condemned the lande in an hundreth talents of siluer, and a talent of gold.
Inkosi yeGibhithe yasimsusa eseJerusalema, yahlawulisa ilizwe amathalenta esiliva alikhulu lethalenta legolide.
4 And the King of Egypt made Eliakim his brother King ouer Iudah and Ierusalem, and turned his name to Iehoiakim: and Necho tooke Iehoahaz his brother, and caryed him to Egypt.
Inkosi yeGibhithe yasibeka uEliyakhimi umfowabo abe yinkosi phezu kukaJuda leJerusalema, yaguqula ibizo lakhe yathi nguJehoyakhimi. UNeko wasethatha uJehowahazi umfowabo wamletha eGibhithe.
5 Iehoiakim was fiue and twentie yeere old, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeere in Ierusalem, and did euill in the sight of the Lord his God.
UJehoyakhimi wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanhlanu esiba yinkosi; wasebusa iminyaka elitshumi lanye eJerusalema. Wenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe.
6 Against him came vp Nebuchadnezzar King of Babel, and bounde him with chaines to cary him to Babel.
Kwenyukela kuye uNebhukadinezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, wambopha ngamaketane ethusi, ukumusa eBhabhiloni.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also caryed of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babel, and put them in his temple at Babel.
UNebhukadinezari waseletha okwezitsha zendlu yeNkosi eBhabhiloni, wakufaka ethempelini lakhe eBhabhiloni.
8 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was founde vpon him, behold, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel and Iudah, and Iehoiachin his sonne reigned in his stead.
Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaJehoyakhimi, lamanyala akhe awenzayo, lokwatholakala kuye, khangela, kubhaliwe egwalweni lwamakhosi akoIsrayeli loJuda. UJehoyakhini indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
9 Iehoiachin was eight yeere olde when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned three moneths and ten dayes in Ierusalem, and did euill in the sight of the Lord.
UJehoyakhini wayeleminyaka eyisificaminwembili esiba yinkosi; wasebusa inyanga ezintathu lensuku ezilitshumi eJerusalema. Wenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi.
10 And when the yeere was out, King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babel with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and he made Zedekiah his brother King ouer Iudah and Ierusalem.
Lekuthwaseni komnyaka inkosi uNebhukadinezari yathuma yamletha eBhabhiloni, kanye lezitsha eziloyisekayo zendlu yeNkosi; yasibeka uZedekhiya umfowabo abe yinkosi phezu kukaJuda leJerusalema.
11 Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and reigned eleuen yeere in Ierusalem.
UZedekhiya wayeleminyaka engamatshumi amabili lanye esiba yinkosi; wasebusa iminyaka elitshumi lanye eJerusalema.
12 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himselfe before Ieremiah the Prophet at the commandement of the Lord,
Wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe; kazithobanga phambi kukaJeremiya umprofethi, ekhuluma okomlomo weNkosi.
13 But he rebelled moreouer against Nebuchadnezzar, which had caused him to sweare by God: and he hardened his necke and made his heart obstinate that he might not returne to the Lord God of Israel.
Laye wasevukela inkosi uNebhukadinezari eyayimfungise ngoNkulunkulu, wenza yaba lukhuni intamo yakhe, waqinisa inhliziyo yakhe, okokuthi kaphendukelanga eNkosini, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
14 All the chiefe of the Priestes also and of the people trespassed wonderfully, according to all the abominations of the heathen, and polluted the house of the Lord which he had sanctified in Ierusalem.
Futhi zonke induna zabapristi labantu banda ekuphambukeni ngeziphambeko njengawo wonke amanyala ezizwe, bayingcolisa indlu yeNkosi eyayiyingcwelisile eJerusalema.
15 Therefore the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising earely and sending: for he had compassion on his people, and on his habitation.
INkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise, yasithuma kubo ngesandla sezithunywa zayo, ivuka ngovivi ithuma, ngoba yayilesihawu ebantwini bayo lendaweni yayo yokuhlala.
16 But they mocked the messengers of God and despised his wordes, and misused his Prophets, vntill the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and till there was no remedie.
Kodwa babezihleka usulu izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu, bedelela amazwi akhe, beklolodela abaprofethi bakhe, lwaze lwavuka ulaka lweNkosi lwamelana labantu bayo kakwaze kwaba leselapho.
17 For he brought vpon them the King of the Caldeans, who slewe their yong men with the sworde in the house of their Sanctuarie, and spared neither yong man, nor virgin, ancient, nor aged. God gaue all into his hande,
Ngakho yabenyusela inkosi yamaKhaladiya eyabulala amajaha abo ngenkemba endlini yendlu yabo engcwele, ingahawukeli ijaha lentombi, omdala lexhegu; yabanikela bonke esandleni sayo.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the King, and of his princes: all these caryed he to Babel.
Lazo zonke izitsha zendlu kaNkulunkulu, ezinkulu lezincinyane, lezinto eziligugu zendlu kaJehova, lezinto eziligugu zenkosi lezeziphathamandla zayo, konke lokhu yakuletha eBhabhiloni.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and all the precious vessels thereof, to destroy all.
Basebetshisa indlu kaNkulunkulu, badiliza umduli weJerusalema, batshisa zonke izigodlo zayo ngomlilo, batshabalalisa zonke izitsha zayo eziloyisekayo.
20 And they that were left by the sworde, caryed he away to Babel, and they were seruants to him and to his sonnes, vntill the kingdome of the Persians had rule,
Yasithumbela eBhabhiloni abasele enkembeni; basebesiba zinceku zayo lezabantwana bayo kwaze kwaba yikubusa kombuso wePerisiya;
21 To fulfill the worde of the Lord by the mouth of Ieremiah, vntill the lande had her fill of her Sabbaths: for all the dayes that she lay desolate, she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seuentie yeeres.
ukugcwalisa ilizwi leNkosi ngomlomo kaJeremiya, ilizwe lize likholise amasabatha alo; lagcina isabatha zonke izinsuku zencithakalo, kwaze kwagcwaliseka iminyaka engamatshumi ayisikhombisa.
22 But in the first yeere of Cyrus King of Persia (when the worde of the Lord, spoken by the mouth of Ieremiah, was finished) the Lord stirred vp the spirit of Cyrus King of Persia, and he made a proclamation through all his kingdome, and also by writing, saying,
Kwathi ngomnyaka wokuqala kaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya, ekugcwalisekeni kwelizwi leNkosi ngomlomo kaJeremiya, iNkosi yavusa umoya kaKoresi inkosi yePerisiya ukuthi edlulise isimemezelo embusweni wakhe wonke, njalo langombhalo, esithi:
23 Thus saith Cyrus King of Persia, All the kingdomes of the earth hath the Lord God of heauen giuen me, and hath commanded me to build him an house in Ierusalem, that is in Iudah. Who is among you of all his people, with whom the Lord his God is? let him goe vp.
Utsho njalo uKoresi inkosi yePerisiya: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamazulu, inginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba; layo ingilayile ukuyakhela indlu eJerusalema ekoJuda. Ngubani ophakathi kwenu kubo bonke abantu bayo? INkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe kayibe laye, enyuke.
