Si Haring Jehoahaz ng Juda(A)
36 Nagkaisa ang bayan na si Jehoahaz, anak ni Josias, ang ipalit na hari sa Jerusalem. 2 Dalawampu't tatlong taóng gulang siya nang maging hari at tatlong buwan siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. 3 Binihag siya ni Haring Neco ng Egipto at pinagbuwis niya ng 3,500 kilong pilak at 35 kilong ginto ang Juda. 4 Ang(B) ipinalit kay Jehoahaz bilang hari ng Juda ay ang kapatid nitong si Eliakim. Pinalitan ang kanyang pangalan na Jehoiakim. Si Jehoahaz naman ay dinala sa Egipto.
Si Haring Jehoiakim ng Juda(C)
5 Dalawampu't(D) limang taóng gulang si Jehoiakim nang maging hari at labing-isang taon siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. Ginawa niya ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh. 6 Dumating(E) si Nebucadnezar, binihag siya at nakakadenang dinala sa Babilonia. 7 Kinuha ni Nebucadnezar ang mga kagamitan sa Templo ni Yahweh at inilipat sa kanyang palasyo sa Babilonia. 8 Ang iba pang mga pangyayari sa panahon ni Jehoiakim, pati ang mga kasamaang ginawa niya at ang iba pang kasalanan niya ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Israel at Juda. Pumalit sa kanya bilang hari ang anak niyang si Jehoiakin.
Si Haring Jehoiakin ng Juda(F)
9 Walong taóng gulang si Jehoiakin nang maging hari at tatlong buwan at sampung araw lamang siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. Ginawa rin niya ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh. 10 Sa(G) pagtatapos ng taon, ipinakuha siya ni Haring Nebucadnezar pati ang mahahalagang kagamitan sa Templo at dinala sa Babilonia. Ang ipinalit sa kanya bilang hari ay si Zedekias na kanyang tiyuhin.[a]
Si Haring Zedekias ng Juda(H)
11 Dalawampu't(I) isang taóng gulang si Zedekias nang maging hari ng Juda at labing-isang taon siyang naghari sa Jerusalem. 12 Ginawa rin niya ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh. Hindi siya nagpakumbaba at hindi rin sumunod sa ipinangaral ni propeta Jeremias, na nagpahayag ng mensahe ni Yahweh.
Ang Pagbagsak ng Jerusalem(J)
13 Naghimagsik(K) si Zedekias laban kay Haring Nebucadnezar na pinangakuan niya sa pangalan ng Diyos na kanyang susundin. Nagmatigas siya at ayaw magsisi at manumbalik kay Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel. 14 Sumamâ nang sumamâ ang mga pinuno ng Juda, ang mga pari at ang mga mamamayan. Tinularan nila ang kasuklam-suklam na gawain ng ibang bansa. Pati ang Templo sa Jerusalem na inilaan ni Yahweh para sa kanyang sarili ay kanilang nilapastangan. 15 Gayunman, dahil sa habag ni Yahweh sa kanila at sa pagmamalasakit niya sa kanyang Templo, nagpatuloy siya sa pagpapadala ng mga sugo upang bigyan sila ng babala. 16 Ngunit hinahamak lamang nila ang mga ito, pinagtatawanan ang mga propeta at binabaliwala ang mga babala ng Diyos. Dahil dito'y umabot sa sukdulan ang galit ni Yahweh sa kanyang bayan at hindi na sila makaiwas sa kanyang pagpaparusa. 17 Dahil(L) dito, ginamit niya ang hari ng Babilonia upang patayin sa tabak maging sa loob ng Templo ang kanilang mga kabataan. Wala itong iginalang, binata man o dalaga, kahit ang matatanda. Ipinaubaya sila ng Diyos sa kapangyarihan ng hari. 18 Lahat ng kagamitan, malalaki at maliliit sa loob ng Templo ni Yahweh, pati ang kayamanang naroon, gayundin ang sa hari at mga opisyal nito ay dinala sa Babilonia. 19 Sinunog(M) nila ang Templo, winasak ang pader ng Jerusalem at ang malalaking gusali. Ang mahahalagang ari-arian doon ay sinunog din, at ang lahat ay iniwan nilang wasak. 20 Ang mga hindi napatay ay dinala nilang bihag sa Babilonia. Inalipin sila roon ng hari at ng kanyang mga anak hanggang ang Babilonia ay masakop ng Persia. 21 Ito(N) ang katuparan ng pahayag ni Jeremias na ang lupain ay mananatiling tiwangwang sa loob ng pitumpung taon upang makapagpahinga.
Pinabalik ni Ciro ang mga Judio(O)
22 Upang matupad ang sinabi niyang ito sa pamamagitan ni Jeremias, inudyukan ni Yahweh si Ciro, hari ng Persia noong unang taon ng kanyang paghahari. Nagpalabas ang haring ito ng isang pahayag sa buong kaharian na ganito ang isinasaad:
23 “Ito(P) ang pahayag ni Haring Ciro ng Persia: ‘Ipinaubaya sa akin ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng kalangitan, ang lahat ng kaharian sa daigdig at inutusan niya akong magtayo para sa kanya ng Templo sa Jerusalem ng Juda. Kaya, ang sinuman sa inyo na kabilang sa kanyang bayan ay pinahihintulutan kong pumunta sa Jerusalem. Samahan nawa kayo ng Diyos ninyong si Yahweh.’”

2 Chronicles 36
King James Version
36 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty and 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 the Lord his God.
6 Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
8 Now 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.
9 Jehoiachin 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 the Lord.
10 And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
11 Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
12 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the Lord.
13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel.
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
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 he brought to Babylon.
19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
22 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
