2 Chronicles 36

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 The people of the land then took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and proclaimed him king of Jerusalem insuccession to his father.	1 ܘܕܒܪܘ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܠܝܗܘܐܚܙ ܒܪ ܝܘܫܝܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘܗܝ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܒܬܪ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for three months inJerusalem.	2 ܒܪ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܘܬܠܬ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܝܗܘܐܚܙ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܝܪ̈ܚܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
3 The king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and imposed a levy of a hundred talents of silver andone talent of gold on the country.	3 ܘܐܥܒܪܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ
4 The king of Egypt then made his brother Eliakim king of Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his nameto Jehoiakim. Carrying off his brother Jehoahaz, Necho took him to Egypt.	4 ܘܐܩܝܡ ܠܐܠܝܩܝܡ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܫܡܝ ܫܡܗ ܝܘܝܩܝܡ ܘܠܝܗܘܐܚܙ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܒܪ ܦܪܥܘܢ ܚܓܝܪܐ ܘܐܘܒܠܗ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܡܝܬ ܬܡܢ
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for eleven years inJerusalem. He did what is displeasing to Yahweh his God.	5 ܒܪ ܥܣܪܝܢ ܘܚܡܫ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܝܘܝܩܝܡ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܚܕܥܣܪܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܥܒܕ ܕܒܝܫ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ
6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked him, loaded him with chains and took him to Babylon.	6 ܥܠܘܗܝ ܣܠܩ ܢܒܘܟܕܢܨܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܘܐܣܪܗ ܒܫܫ̈ܠܬܐ ܠܡܘܒܠܘܬܗ ܠܒܒܠ
7 To Babylon Nebuchadnezzar also took some of the objects belonging to the Temple of Yahweh andput them in his palace in Babylon.	7 ܘܡܢ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܢܒܘܟܕܢܨܪ ܠܒܒܠ ܘܝܗܒ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܗܝܟܠܗ ܒܒܒܠ
8 The rest of the history of Jehoiakim, the shameful things that he did and what happened to him inconsequence, these are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin succeededhim.	8 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܦܬܓܡܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܝܘܝܩܝܡ ܘܣܢܝ̈ܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܐ ܗ̈ܢܝܢ ܟܬܝ̈ܒܢ ܥܠ ܣܦ̣ܪ̈ܐ ܕܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܐܡܠܟ ܝܘܝܟܝܢ ܒܪܗ ܒܬܪܗ
9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for three months andten days in Jerusalem. He did what is displeasing to Yahweh.	9 ܒܪ ܬܡܢܥܣܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܝܘܝܟܝܢ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܡܐܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܥܒܕ ܕܒܝ̣ܫ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ
10 At the turn of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and had him taken to Babylon, with thevaluables belonging to the Temple of Yahweh, and made his brother Zedekiah king of Judah and Jerusalem.	10 ܘܠܚܪܬܗ̇ ܕܫܢܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܢܒܘܟܕܢܨܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܒܒܠ ܠܗ ܘܠܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܪܓܬܐ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܩܝܡ ܠܨܕܩܝܐ ܕܕܗ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for eleven years inJerusalem.	11 ܒܪ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܘܚܕܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܨܕܩܝܐ ܟܕ ܩܡ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܚܕܥܣܪܐ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
12 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh his God. He did not listen humbly to the prophet Jeremiah whospoke for Yahweh.	12 ܘܥܒܕ ܕܒܝ̣ܫ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܡܬܢܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
13 Furthermore, he rebel ed against King Nebuchadnezzar who had made him swear al egiance to himby God. He became stubborn, and obstinately refused to return to Yahweh, God of Israel.	13 ܘܐܦ ܥܠ ܢܒܘܟܕܢܨܪ ܡܪܕ ܕܝܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܩܫܝ ܩܕܠܗ ܘܩܫܝ ܠܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
14 Furthermore, al the leaders of Judah, the priests and the people too, added infidelity to infidelity,copying al the shameful practices of the nations and defiling the Temple of Yahweh which he himself hadconsecrated in Jerusalem.	14 ܘܐܦ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܘܕܠܘ̈ܝܐ ܘܕܥܡܐ ܐܣܓܝܘ ܠܡܟܕܒܘ ܟܕܒܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܛܡܐܘ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
15 Yahweh, God of their ancestors, continuously sent them word through his messengers because hefelt sorry for his people and his dwel ing,	15 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܠܐܟ̈ܘܗܝ ܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܘܡܚܫܟܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܣ ܥܠ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܠ ܥ̈ܢܐ ܕܓܒܐ
16 but they ridiculed the messengers of God, they despised his words, they laughed at his prophets,until Yahweh's wrath with his people became so fierce that there was no further remedy.	16 ܘܗܘܘ ܓܚ̇ܟܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܐܟ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܒܣܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܓܚ̇ܟܝܢ ܥܠ ܢܒܝܘ̈ܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܣܠܩܬ ܚܡܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܥܡܗ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܣܝܘ
17 So against them he summoned the king of the Chaldaeans and he put their young men to the swordwithin the very building of their Temple, not sparing young man or girl, or the old and infirm; he put them al at hismercy.	17 ܘܐܣܩ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܟܠܕ̈ܝܐ ܘܩܛܠ ܥܠܝܡ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܣ ܥܠ ܓܕܘܕ̈ܐ ܘܥܠ ܒܬܘ̈ܠܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܥܠ ܝܢ̇ܩ̈ܝ ܚܠܒܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܫܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܗ
18 Al the things belonging to the Temple of God, whether large or smal , the treasures of the Temple ofYahweh, the treasures of the king and his officials, everything he took to Babylon.	18 ܘܟܘܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܐ ܘܕܩܕ̈ܩܐ ܘܓܙܐ ܕܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܓܙܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܕܫܠܝܛܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ ܐܘܒܠ ܠܒܒܠ
19 He burned down the temple of God, demolished the wal s of Jerusalem, burned al its palaces to theground and destroyed everything of value in it.	19 ܘܐܘܩܕܗ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܩܪ ܫܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܟܠܗܝܢ ܣܚܪ̈ܬܗ̇ ܐܘܩܕ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܪܓܬܐ ܚܒܠ
20 And those who had escaped the sword he deported to Babylon, where they were enslaved by himand his descendants until the rise of the kingdom of Persia,	20 ܘܐܦܩ ܒܫܒܝܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܦܠܛܘ ܡܢ ܚܪܒܐ ܠܒܒܠ ܘܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܥܒ̣̈ܕܐ ܘܠܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܫܠܡ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܠܦܪ̈ܣܝܐ
21 to fulfil Yahweh's prophecy through Jeremiah: Until the country has paid off its Sabbaths, it wil liefal ow for al the days of its desolation -- until the seventy years are complete.	21 ܕܬܫܠܡ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܬܢܝܚ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܫܒ̈ܝܗ̇ ܟܠ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܬܨܕܐ ܠܡܫܠܡ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ
22 In the first year of Cyrus king of Persia -- to fulfil the word of Yahweh through Jeremiah -- Yahwehroused the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia to issue a proclamation and to have it publicly displayed throughout hiskingdom:	22 ܒܫܢܬ ܚܕܐ ܠܟܘܪܫ ܡܠܟܐ ܦܪܣܝܐ ܕܬܫܠܡ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܦܘܡܗ ܕܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܥܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܟܘܪܫ ܡܠܟܐ ܦܪܣܝܐ ܘܐܥܒܪ ܩܠܐ ܒܟܠܗ̇ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܘܐܦ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܐܡܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܗ
23 'Cyrus king of Persia says this, "Yahweh, the God of Heaven, has given me al the kingdoms of theearth and has appointed me to build him a Temple in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among youof al his people, may his God be with him! Let him go up." '	23 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܟܘܪܫ ܡܠܟܐ ܦܪܣܝܐ ܟܘܠ ܡܠܟܘ̈ܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܗܘ ܦܩܕ ܥܠܝ ܕܐܒܢܐ ܠܗ ܒܝܬܐ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܒܝܗܘܕ ܡܢܘ ܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܨ̇ܒܐ ܒܗ ܢܣܩ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ
