GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Και ελαβεν ο λαος της γης τον Ιωαχαζ, υιον του Ιωσια, και εκαμον αυτον βασιλεα εν Ιερουσαλημ, αντι του πατρος αυτου.	1 The people of the land then took Jehoahaz son of Josiah and proclaimed him king of Jerusalem insuccession to his father.
2 Εικοσιτριων ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωαχαζ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε τρεις μηνας εν Ιερουσαλημ.	2 Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for three months inJerusalem.
3 Καθηρεσε δε αυτον ο βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου εν Ιερουσαλημ, και κατεδικασε την γην εις προστιμον εκατον ταλαντων αργυριου και ενος ταλαντου χρυσιου.	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.
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.	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.
5 Εικοσιπεντε ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωακειμ οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσεν ενδεκα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ? και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου.	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.
6 Ανεβη εναντιον αυτου Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, και εδεσεν αυτον με αλυσεις, δια να φερη αυτον εις Βαβυλωνα.	6 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked him, loaded him with chains and took him to Babylon.
7 Και εκ των σκευων του οικου του Κυριου εφερεν ο Ναβουχοδονοσορ εις Βαβυλωνα και εθεσεν αυτα εν τω ναω αυτου εν Βαβυλωνι.	7 To Babylon Nebuchadnezzar also took some of the objects belonging to the Temple of Yahweh andput them in his palace in Babylon.
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.	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.
9 Δεκα οκτω ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωαχειν οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσε τρεις μηνας και δεκα ημερας εν Ιερουσαλημ? και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου.	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.
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.	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.
11 Ενος και εικοσι ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Σεδεκιας οτε εβασιλευσε, και εβασιλευσεν ενδεκα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ.	11 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for eleven years inJerusalem.
12 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου? δεν εταπεινωθη ενωπιον Ιερεμιου του προφητου, λαλουντος εκ στοματος του Κυριου.	12 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh his God. He did not listen humbly to the prophet Jeremiah whospoke for Yahweh.
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.	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.
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.	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.
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.	15 Yahweh, God of their ancestors, continuously sent them word through his messengers because hefelt sorry for his people and his dwel ing,
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?	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.
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.	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.
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.	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.
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?	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.
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?	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,
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.	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.
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,	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:
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.	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." '
