历代志下 36
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
犹大王约哈斯(A)
36 这地的百姓立约西亚的儿子约哈斯在耶路撒冷接续他父亲作王。 2 约哈斯登基的时候年二十三岁,在耶路撒冷作王三个月。 3 埃及王在耶路撒冷废了他,又罚这地一百他连得银子,一他连得金子。 4 埃及王尼哥立约哈斯的哥哥以利雅敬作犹大和耶路撒冷的王,给他改名叫约雅敬。尼哥却将他的弟弟约哈斯带到埃及去。
犹大王约雅敬(B)
5 约雅敬登基的时候年二十五岁,在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他行耶和华—他 神眼中看为恶的事。 6 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上来攻击他,用铜链锁着他,要把他带到巴比伦去。 7 尼布甲尼撒又将耶和华殿里的一些器皿带到巴比伦,放在巴比伦自己的宫里[a]。 8 约雅敬其余的事和他所行可憎的事,以及发生在他身上的事,看哪,都写在《以色列和犹大列王记》上,他儿子约雅斤接续他作王。
犹大王约雅斤(C)
9 约雅斤登基的时候年八岁[b],在耶路撒冷作王三个月十天,他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。 10 过了一年,尼布甲尼撒王差遣人将约雅斤和耶和华殿里宝贵的器皿带到巴比伦,然后立约雅斤的叔父[c]西底家作犹大和耶路撒冷的王。
犹大王西底家(D)
11 西底家登基的时候年二十一岁,在耶路撒冷作王十一年。 12 他行耶和华—他 神眼中看为恶的事,没有谦卑听从耶利米先知所传达耶和华的话。 13 尼布甲尼撒王曾叫他指着 神起誓,他却背叛,硬着颈项,内心顽固,不归向耶和华—以色列的 神。 14 众祭司长和百姓也多多犯罪,效法列国一切可憎的事,玷污耶和华在耶路撒冷分别为圣的殿。 15 耶和华—他们列祖的 神因为爱惜自己的百姓和居所,一再差遣使者去警戒他们。 16 他们却嘲笑 神的使者,藐视他的话,讥诮他的先知,以致耶和华向他的百姓大发烈怒,甚至无法可救。
17 所以,耶和华使迦勒底人的王来攻击他们,在他们圣殿里用刀杀了他们的壮丁,不怜悯他们的少男少女、老人长者。耶和华把所有的人都交在他手里。 18 他把 神殿里一切的大小器皿与耶和华殿里的财宝,以及王和众领袖的财宝,全都带到巴比伦去。 19 迦勒底人焚烧了 神的殿,拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙,用火烧了城里所有的宫殿,毁坏了城里一切宝贵的器皿。 20 凡脱离刀剑的幸存者,迦勒底王都掳到巴比伦去,作他和他子孙的仆婢,直到波斯国兴起。 21 这就应验耶和华藉耶利米的口所说的话:地得享安息;在荒凉的日子,地就守安息,直到满了七十年。
犹大人返国(E)
22 波斯王居鲁士元年,耶和华为要应验藉耶利米的口所说的话,就激发波斯王居鲁士的心,使他下诏书通告全国,说: 23 “波斯王居鲁士如此说:耶和华—天上的 神已将地上万国赐给我,又委派我在犹大的耶路撒冷为他建造殿宇。你们中间凡作他子民的可以上去,愿耶和华—他的 神与他同在。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
猶大王約哈斯
36 猶大人在耶路撒冷立約西亞的兒子約哈斯接替他父親做王。 2 約哈斯二十三歲登基,在耶路撒冷執政三個月。 3 埃及王在耶路撒冷廢掉他,並要求猶大向埃及進貢三點四噸銀子、三十四公斤金子。 4 埃及王另立約哈斯的兄弟以利雅敬為王統治猶大和耶路撒冷,給他改名為約雅敬,並把約哈斯帶到埃及。
猶大王約雅敬
5 約雅敬二十五歲登基,在耶路撒冷執政十一年。他做他的上帝耶和華視為惡的事。 6 巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒起兵攻打他,用銅鏈把他鎖著帶到巴比倫。 7 尼布甲尼撒把耶和華殿裡的一些器皿帶到巴比倫,放在他在巴比倫的王宮裡[a]。 8 約雅敬其他的事及可憎行徑和惡跡都記在以色列和猶大的列王史上。他兒子約雅斤繼位。
猶大王約雅斤
9 約雅斤十八歲[b]登基,在耶路撒冷執政三個月零十天。他做耶和華視為惡的事。 10 那年春天,尼布甲尼撒王派人把他和耶和華殿裡的貴重器皿一同帶到巴比倫。尼布甲尼撒另立約雅斤的叔叔[c]西底迦做猶大和耶路撒冷的王。
猶大王西底迦
11 西底迦二十一歲登基,在耶路撒冷執政十一年。 12 他做他的上帝耶和華視為惡的事,耶利米先知向他傳講耶和華的話,他仍不肯在耶利米面前謙卑下來。
耶路撒冷淪陷
13 尼布甲尼撒曾讓他奉上帝的名起誓,他卻背叛了尼布甲尼撒。他頑固不化,不肯歸向以色列的上帝耶和華。 14 所有祭司長和民眾也都仿效外族人的一切可憎行徑,犯了大罪,玷污了耶和華在耶路撒冷使之聖潔的殿。 15 他們祖先的上帝耶和華因為憐愛祂的子民和祂的居所,就不斷派使者來勸告他們。 16 他們卻嘲弄耶和華上帝的使者,藐視祂的話,嘲笑祂的先知,以致祂的憤怒臨到祂的子民身上,無可挽救。
17 耶和華使迦勒底人的王起兵攻打他們,在他們的聖殿裡用刀擊殺他們的壯丁,毫不憐憫少男少女、老人和年高者。耶和華把他們全部交在他的手中。 18 上帝殿裡的大小器皿,以及耶和華殿裡、王宮裡和眾官員的所有珍寶,都被他帶到巴比倫去了。 19 迦勒底人焚燒上帝的殿,拆毀耶路撒冷的城牆,並且焚燒所有的宮殿,毀壞其中所有珍貴的器皿。 20 沒有被殺戮的人都被擄往巴比倫,做他和他子孫的奴隸,直到波斯帝國的時代。 21 這就應驗了耶和華藉耶利米之口所說的話:這片土地享受了安息,它在荒涼中守安息,直到滿了七十年。
塞魯士王准許被擄之民返國
22 波斯王塞魯士元年,耶和華為了應驗祂藉耶利米所說的話,就感動波斯王塞魯士,使他下詔通告全國: 23 「波斯王塞魯士如此說,『天上的上帝耶和華已把天下萬國都賜給我,祂吩咐我在猶大的耶路撒冷為祂建造殿宇。你們當中凡屬耶和華的子民,都可以去那裡。願你們的上帝耶和華與你們同在!』」
2 Chronicles 36
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 36
Jehoahaz. 1 (A)The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem to succeed his father. 2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 3 The king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. 4 Then the king of Egypt made Eliakim, the brother of Jehoahaz, king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took Jehoahaz his brother away and brought him to Egypt.
Jehoiakim. 5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, his God.(B) 6 (C)Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked and bound him in chains to take him to Babylon.[a] 7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried away to Babylon some of the vessels of the house of the Lord and put them in his palace in Babylon. 8 The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominable things that he did, and what therefore happened to him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.(D)
Jehoiachin. 9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight.(E) 10 At the turn of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and had him brought to Babylon, along with precious vessels from the house of the Lord. He made his brother Zedekiah[b] king over Judah and Jerusalem.(F)
Zedekiah. 11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.(G) 12 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, his God, and he did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke for the Lord.(H) 13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He became stiff-necked and hardened his heart rather than return to the Lord, the God of Israel.(I) 14 Likewise all the princes of Judah, the priests, and the people added treachery to treachery, practicing all the abominations of the nations and defiling the Lord’s house which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
The Fall of Judah. 15 Early and often the Lord, the God of their ancestors, sent his messengers to them, for he had compassion on his people and his dwelling place.(J) 16 But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his words, and scoffed at his prophets, until the Lord’s anger against his people blazed up beyond remedy.(K) 17 Then he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in their own sanctuary, with compassion for neither young men nor young women, neither the old nor the infirm; all of them he delivered into his power.(L) 18 All the utensils of the house of God, large and small, the treasures of the Lord’s house, and the treasures of the king and his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.(M) 19 They burnt the house of God, tore down the walls of Jerusalem, burnt down all its palaces, and destroyed all its precious objects.(N) 20 Those who escaped the sword he carried captive to Babylon, where they became servants to him and his sons until the Persian kingdom came to power. 21 All this was to fulfill the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah: Until the land has retrieved its lost sabbaths, during all the time it lies waste it shall have rest while seventy years are fulfilled.
Decree of Cyrus. 22 [c]In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order to realize the word of the Lord spoken by Jeremiah, the Lord roused the spirit of Cyrus, King of Persia, to spread this proclamation throughout his kingdom, both by word of mouth and in writing:(O) 23 “Thus says Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord, the God of heaven, has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has also charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. All among you, therefore, who belong to his people, may their God be with them; let them go up.”
Footnotes
- 36:6 Nebuchadnezzar…bound him in chains to take him to Babylon: the Chronicler does not state that Jehoiakim was actually taken to Babylon. According to 2 Kgs 24:1–6, Jehoiakim revolted after being Nebuchadnezzar’s vassal for three years; he died in Jerusalem before the city surrendered to the Babylonians. Dn 1:1–2, apparently based on 2 Chr 36:6–7, does speak of Jehoiakim’s deportation to Babylon.
- 36:10 His brother Zedekiah: Zedekiah was actually the brother of Jehoiakim and the uncle of Jehoiachin (2 Kgs 24:17; Jer 37:1), though scarcely older than his nephew (2 Kgs 24:8, 18; 2 Chr 36:9, 11).
- 36:22–23 These verses are identical with those of Ezr 1:1–3a and were to prevent the work from ending on a note of doom.
