歷代志下 36
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
Modern English Version
Jehoahaz, King of Judah(A)
36 Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah and made him king in the place of his father in Jerusalem.
2 And Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. 3 Then the king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and imposed on the land a tribute of a hundred talents[a] of silver and a talent[b] of gold. 4 The king of Egypt made his brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But Necho took his brother Jehoahaz and carried him to Egypt.
Jehoiakim, King of Judah(B)
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years. He did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord his God. 6 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him and bound him in bronze chains to lead him to Babylon. 7 Nebuchadnezzar also brought out some of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon and put them in his temple in Babylon.
8 And the remainder of the acts of Jehoiakim, the detestable things that he did and were found against him, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. Then Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
Jehoiachin, King of Judah(C)
9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for three months and ten days. He did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord. 10 In the spring of that year King Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and brought him to Babylon with the precious items from the house of the Lord. Then Zedekiah his brother was king over Judah and Jerusalem.
Zedekiah, King of Judah(D)
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years. 12 He did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord his God and did not humble himself before Jeremiah the prophet, who spoke from the Lord. 13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by an oath by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel. 14 Even the officials over the priests and the people increased in their unfaithfulness in all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the house of the Lord which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
The Fall of Jerusalem(E)
15 The Lord God of their fathers sent warnings to them over and over again by His messengers because He had compassion on His people and His dwelling place. 16 But they continued to jest regarding the messengers of God, despising His word and making fun of His prophets until the wrath of the Lord came up against His people, until there was no remedy. 17 So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans from Babylon, who killed their young men with the sword at the house of their sanctuary. He did not spare a young man or virgin, old or aged. God gave all of them into his hand. 18 Even all the vessels of the house of God, both large and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, the king, and his officials, all of this was taken to Babylon. 19 So they burned down the house of God, tore down the wall of Jerusalem, burned down all the palaces with fire, and destroyed all the precious items.
20 Then he carried into exile to Babylon the remnant, who survived the sword, and they were slaves to him and his sons until the kingdom of Persia ruled, 21 to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay desolate, she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
The Proclamation of Cyrus
22 In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the spirit of King Cyrus of Persia, so that he sent a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also declared in a written edict:
23 “Thus says King Cyrus of Persia:
“The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has commanded me to build for Him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you of all His people, may the Lord his God be with him. Let him go up.”

Dette er Biblen på dansk
36 Folket fra Landet tog nu Josias's Søn Joahaz og hyldede ham til Konge i Jerusalem i hans Faders Sted. 2 Joahaz var tre og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder i Jerusalem. 3 Men Ægypterkongen afsatte ham fra Regeringen i Jerusalem og lagde en Skat af hundrede Talenter Sølv og ti Talenter Guld på Landet. 4 Derpå gjorde Ægypterkongen hans Broder Eljakim til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem, og han ændrede hans Navn til Jojakim; hans Broder Joahaz derimod tog Neko med til Ægypten.
5 Jojakim var fem og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede elleve År i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herren hans Guds Øjne. 6 Kong Nebukadnezer af Babel drog op imod ham og lagde ham i Kobberlænker for at føre ham til Babel; 7 og Nebukadnezar lod en Del af Herrens Hus's Kar bringe til Babel og opstillede dem i sin Borg i Babel. 8 Hvad der ellers er at fortælle om Jojakim og de Vederstyggeligheder, han øvede, hvad der er at sige om ham, står optegnet i Bogen om Israels og Judas Konger. Og hans Søn Jojakin blev Konge i hans Sted.
9 Jojakin var atten År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede tre Måneder og ti Dage i Jerusalem. Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herrens Øjne. 10 Næste År sendfe Kong Nebukadnezar Folk og lod ham bringe til Babel tillige med Herrens Hus's kostelige Kar; og han gjorde hans Broder Zedekias til Konge over Juda og Jerusalem.
11 Zedekias var een og tyve År gammel, da han blev Konge, og han herskede i elleve År i Jerusalem. 12 Han gjorde, hvad der var ondt i Herren hans Guds Øjne. Han ydmygede sig ikke under de Ord, Profeten Jeremias talte fra Herrens Mund. 13 Desuden faldt han fra Kong Nebudkanezar, der havde taget ham i Ed ved Gud; og han var halsstarrig og forhærdede sit Hjerte, så han ikke omvendte sig til Herren, Israels Gud. 14 Ligeledes gjorde alle Judas Øverster og Præsterne og Folket sig skyldige i megen Troløshed ved at efterligne alle Hedningefolkenes Vederstyggeligheder, og de besmittede Herrens Hus, som han havde helliget i Jerusalem. 15 Herren, deres Fædres Gud, sendte tidlig og silde manende Ord til dem ved sine Sendebud, fordi han ynkedes oer sit Folk og sin Bolig; 16 men de spottede Guds Sendebud, lod hånt om hans Ord og gjorde sig lystige over hans Profeter, indtil Herrens Vrede mod hans Folk tog til i den Grad, at der ikke mere var Lægedom. 17 Han førte Kaldæernes Konge imod dem, og han dræbte deres unge Mandskab med Sværdet i deres hellige Tempel og ynkedes ikke over Yngling eller Jomfru, gammel eller Olding - alt overgav han i hans Hånd. 18 Alle Karrene i Guds Hus, store og små, Herrens Hus's Skatte og Kongens og hans Øverstes Skatte lod han alt sammen bringe til Babel. 19 De stak Ild på Guds Hus, nedrev Jerusalems Mur, opbrændte alle dets Borge og ødelagde alle kostelige Ting deri. 20 Dem, Sværdet levnede, førte han som Fanger til Babel, hvor de blev Trælle for ham og hans Sønner, indtil Perserriget fik Magten, 21 for at Herrens Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, indtil Landet fik sine Sabbater godtgjort; så længe Ødelæggelsen varede, hvilede det, til der var gået halvfjerdsindstyve År.
22 Men i Perserkongen Kyros's første Regeringsår vakte Herren, for at hans Ord gennem Jeremias's Mund kunde opfyldes, Perserkongen Kyros's Ånd, så han lod følgende udråbe i hele sit Rige og desuden kundgøre ved en Skrivelse: 23 "Perserkongen Kyros gør vitterligt: Alle Jordens Riger har Herren, Himmelens Gud, givet mig; og han har pålagt mig at bygge ham et Hus i Jerusalem i Juda. Hvem iblandt eder, der hører til hans Folk, med ham være Herren hans Gud, og han drage derop!"
