2 Chronicles 36

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 The people of the land took Jehoahaz, son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in his father's stead.	1 Και ελαβεν ο λαος της γης τον Ιωαχαζ, υιον του Ιωσια, και εκαμον αυτον βασιλεα εν Ιερουσαλημ, αντι του πατρος αυτου.
2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.	2 Εικοσιτριων ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωαχαζ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε τρεις μηνας εν Ιερουσαλημ.
3 The king of Egypt deposed him in Jerusalem and fined the land one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.	3 Καθηρεσε δε αυτον ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου εν Ιερουσαλημ, και κατεδικασε την γην εις προστιμον εκατον ταλαντων αργυριου και ενος ταλαντου χρυσιου.
4 Then the king of Egypt made his brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away and brought him to Egypt.	4 Και εκαμεν ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου τον Ελιακειμ τον αδελφον αυτου βασιλεα επι Ιουδαν και Ιερουσαλημ, και μετηλλαξε το ονομα αυτου εις Ιωακειμ? τον δε Ιωαχαζ, τον αδελφον αυτου, ελαβεν ο Νεχαω και εφερεν αυτον εις Αιγυπτον.
5 Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did evil in the sight of the LORD, his God.	5 Εικοσιπεντε ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωακειμ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσεν ενδεκα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου.
6 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against him and bound him with chains to take him to Babylon.	6 Ανεβη εναντιον αυτου Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, και εδεσεν αυτον με αλυσεις, δια να φερη αυτον εις Βαβυλωνα.
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.	7 Και εκ των σκευων του οικου του Κυριου εφερεν ο Ναβουχοδονοσορ εις Βαβυλωνα και εθεσεν αυτα εν τω ναω αυτου εν Βαβυλωνι.
8 The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominable things that he did, and what therefore happened to him, can be found written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. His son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.	8 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Ιωακειμ και τα βδελυγματα αυτου οσα εκαμε, και οσα ευρεθησαν εν αυτω, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των βασιλεων του Ισραηλ και του Ιουδα? και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Ιωαχειν ο υιος αυτου.
9 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months (and ten days) in Jerusalem. He did evil in the sight of the LORD.	9 Δεκα οκτω ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωαχειν οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε τρεις μηνας και δεκα ημερας εν Ιερουσαλημ? και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου.
10 At the turn of the year, King Nebuchadnezzar sent for him and had him brought to Babylon, along with precious vessels from the temple of the LORD. He made his brother Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.	10 Εν τω τελει δε του ενιαυτου αποστειλας ο βασιλευς Ναβουχοδονοσορ, εφερεν αυτον εις Βαβυλωνα, μετα των εκλεκτων σκευων του οικου του Κυριου? και εκαμε Σεδεκιαν τον αδελφον αυτου βασιλεα επι τον Ιουδαν και Ιερουσαλημ.
11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.	11 Ενος και εικοσι ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Σεδεκιας οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσεν ενδεκα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ.
12 He did evil in the sight of the LORD, his God, and he did not humble himself before the prophet Jeremiah, who spoke the word of the LORD.	12 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου? δεν εταπεινωθη ενωπιον Ιερεμιου του προφητου, λαλουντος εκ στοματος του Κυριου.
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.	13 Και ετι απεστατησεν εναντιον του βασιλεως Ναβουχοδονοσορ, οστις ωρκισεν αυτον εις τον Θεον? και εσκληρυνε τον τραχηλον αυτου και επεισματωσε την καρδιαν αυτου, ωστε να μη επιστρεψη εις Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ.
14 Likewise all the princes of Judah, the priests and the people added infidelity to infidelity, practicing all the abominations of the nations and polluting the LORD'S temple which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.	14 Παντες προσετι οι πρωτοι των ιερεων και ο λαος ηθετησαν καθ' υπερβολην κατα παντα τα βδελυγματα των εθνων και εμιαναν τον οικον του Κυριου, τον οποιον ηγιασεν εν Ιερουσαλημ.
15 Early and often did the LORD, the God of their fathers, send his messengers to them, for he had compassion on his people and his dwelling place.	15 Και παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους Κυριος ο Θεος των πατερων αυτων δια χειρος των απεσταλμενων αυτου, εγειρομενος πρωι και εξαποστελλων? διοτι εφειδετο του λαου αυτου και του κατοικητηριου αυτου.
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, despised his warnings, and scoffed at his prophets, until the anger of the LORD against his people was so inflamed that there was no remedy.	16 Αλλ' αυτοι εχλευαζον τους απεσταλμενους του Θεου και κατεφρονουν τους λογους αυτου και εσκωπτον τους προφητας αυτου, εωσου η οργη του Κυριου ανεβη κατα του λαου αυτου, ωστε δεν ητο θεραπεια?
17 Then he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who slew their young men in their own sanctuary building, sparing neither young man nor maiden, neither the aged nor the decrepit; he delivered all of them over into his grip.	17 δια τουτο εφερεν επ' αυτους τον βασιλεα των Χαλδαιων, και εθανατωσε τους νεανισκους αυτων εν μαχαιρα εντος του οικου του αγιαστηριου αυτων, και δεν εφεισθη νεου η παρθενου, γεροντος η κεκυφοτος? παντας παρεδωκεν εις την χειρα αυτου.
18 All the utensils of the house of God, the large and the small, and the treasures of the LORD'S house and of the king and his princes, all these he brought to Babylon.	18 Και παντα τα σκευη του οικου του Θεου, μεγαλα και μικρα, και τους θησαυρους του οικου του Κυριου και τους θησαυρους του βασιλεως και των αρχοντων αυτου, τα παντα εφερεν εις Βαβυλωνα.
19 They burnt the house of God, tore down the walls of Jerusalem, set all its palaces afire, and destroyed all its precious objects.	19 Και κατεκαυσαν τον οικον του Θεου και κατεσκαψαν το τειχος της Ιερουσαλημ, και παντα τα παλατια αυτης κατεκαυσαν εν πυρι, και παντα τα πολυτιμα σκευη αυτης ηφανισαν?
20 Those who escaped the sword he carried captive to Babylon, where they became his and his sons' servants until the kingdom of the Persians came to power.	20 Και τους εκφυγοντας την μαχαιραν μετωκισεν εις Βαβυλωνα, οπου ησαν δουλοι εις αυτον και εις τους υιους αυτου, μεχρι του καιρου της βασιλειας των Περσων?
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."	21 δια να πληρωθη ο λογος του Κυριου ο δια στοματος Ιερεμιου, εωσου η γη χαρη τα σαββατα αυτης? διοτι παντα τον καιρον της ερημωσεως αυτης εφυλαττε σαββατον, εωσου συμπληρωθωσιν εβδομηκοντα ετη.
22 In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the LORD inspired King Cyrus of Persia to issue this proclamation throughout his kingdom, both by word of mouth and in writing:	22 Εν δε τω πρωτω ετει Κυρου του βασιλεως της Περσιας, δια να πληρωθη ο λογος του Κυριου ο δια στοματος Ιερεμιου, διηγειρεν ο Κυριος το πνευμα του Κυρου βασιλεως της Περσιας, και διεκηρυξε δια παντος του βασιλειου αυτου, και μαλιστα εγγραφως, λεγων,
23 "Thus says Cyrus, king of Persia: 'All the kingdoms of the earth the LORD, the God of heaven, has given to me, and he has also charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever, therefore, among you belongs to any part of his people, let him go up, and may his God be with him!'"	23 Ουτω λεγει Κυρος ο βασιλευς της Περσιας? παντα τα βασιλεια της γης εδωκεν εις εμε Κυριος ο Θεος του ουρανου? και αυτος προσεταξεν εις εμε να οικοδομησω εις αυτον οικον εν Ιερουσαλημ, ητις ειναι εν τη Ιουδαια? τις εξ υμων ειναι εκ παντος του λαου αυτου; Κυριος ο Θεος αυτου εστω μετ' αυτου, και ας αναβη.
