1 Then the people of the land took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of his father in Jerusalem.
1 ENTONCES el pueblo de la tierra tomó á Joachâz hijo de Josías, é hiciéronle rey en lugar de su padre en Jerusalem.
2 Joachaz was three and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
2 De veinte y tres años era Joachâz cuando comenzó á reinar, y tres meses reinó en Jerusalem.
3 And the king of Egypt came to Jerusalem, and deposed him, and condemned the land in a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
3 Y el rey de Egipto lo quitó de Jerusalem, y condenó la tierra en cien talentos de plata y uno de oro.
4 And he made Eliakim his brother king in his stead, over Juda and Jerusalem: and he turned his name to Joakim: but he took Joachaz with him, and carried him away into Egypt.
4 Y constituyó el rey de Egipto á su hermano Eliacim por rey sobre Judá y Jerusalem, y mudóle el nombre en Joacim; y á Joachâz su hermano tomó Nechâo, y llevólo á Egipto.
5 Joakim was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did evil before the Lord his God.
5 Cuando comenzó á reinar Joacim era de veinte y cinco años, y reinó once años en Jerusalem: é hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová su Dios.
6 Against him came up Nabuchodonosor king of the Chaldeans, and led him bound in chains into Babylon.
6 Y subió contra él Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, y atado con cadenas lo llevó á Babilonia.
7 And he carried also thither the vessels of the Lord, and put them in his temple.
7 También llevó Nabucodonosor á Babilonia de los vasos de la casa de Jehová, y púsolos en su templo en Babilonia.
8 But the rest of the acts of Joakim, and his abominations, which he wrought, and the things that were found in him, are contained in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel. And Joachin his son reigned in his stead.
8 Lo demás de los hechos de Joacim, y las abominaciones que hizo, y lo que en él se halló, he aquí está escrito en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá: y reinó en su lugar Joachîn su hijo.
9 Joachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
9 De ocho años era Joachîn cuando comenzó á reinar, y reinó tres meses y diez días en Jerusalem: é hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová.
10 And at the return of the year, king Nabuchodonosor sent, and brought him to Babylon, carrying away at the same time the most precious vessels of the house of the Lord: and he made Sedecias his uncle king over Juda and Jerusalem.
10 A la vuelta del año el rey Nabucodonosor envió, é hízolo llevar á Babilonia [juntamente] con los vasos preciosos de la casa de Jehová; y constituyó á Sedecías su hermano por rey sobre Judá y Jerusalem.
11 Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
11 De veinte y un años era Sedecías cuando comenzó á reinar, y once años reinó en Jerusalem.
12 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God, and did not reverence the face of Jeremias the prophet speaking to him from the mouth of the Lord.
12 E hizo lo malo en ojos de Jehová su Dios, y no se humilló delante de Jeremías profeta, [que le hablaba] de parte de Jehová.
13 He also revolted from king Nabuchodonosor, who had made him swear by God: and he hardened his neck and his heart, from returning to the Lord the God of Israel.
13 Rebelóse asimismo contra Nabucodonosor, al cual había jurado por Dios; y endureció su cerviz, y obstinó su corazón, para no volverse á Jehová el Dios de Israel.
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people wickedly transgressed according to all the abominations of the Gentiles: and they defiled the house of the Lord, which he had sanctified to himself in Jerusalem.
14 Y también todos los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y el pueblo, aumentaron la prevaricación, siguiendo todas las abominaciones de las gentes, y contaminando la casa de Jehová, la cual él había santificado en Jerusalem.
15 And the Lord the God of their fathers sent to them, by the hand of his messengers, rising early, and daily admonishing them: because he spared his people and his dwelling place.
15 Y Jehová el Dios de sus padres envió á ellos por mano de sus mensajeros, levantándose de mañana y enviando: porque él tenía misericordia de su pueblo, y de su habitación.
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused the prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, and there was no remedy.
16 Mas ellos hacían escarnio de los mensajeros de Dios, y menospreciaban sus palabras, burlándose de sus profetas, hasta que subió el furor de Jehová contra su pueblo, y que no hubo remedio.
17 For he brought upon them the king of the Chaldeans, and he slew their young men with the sword in the house of his sanctuary, he had no compassion on young man, or maiden, old man or even him that stooped for age, but he delivered them all into his hands.
17 Por lo cual trajo contra ellos al rey de los Caldeos, que mató á cuchillo sus mancebos en la casa de su santuario, sin perdonar joven, ni doncella, ni viejo, ni decrépito; todos los entregó en sus manos.
18 And all the vessels of the house of the Lord, great and small, and the treasures of the temple and of the king, and of the princes he carried away to Babylon.
18 Asimismo todos los vasos de la casa de Dios, grandes y chicos, los tesoros de la casa de Jehová, y los tesoros del rey y de sus príncipes, todo lo llevó á Babilonia.
19 And the enemies set fire to the house of God, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burnt all the towers, and whatsoever was precious they destroyed.
19 Y quemaron la casa de Dios, y rompieron el muro de Jerusalem, y consumieron al fuego todos sus palacios, y destruyeron todos sus vasos deseables.
20 Whosoever escaped the sword, was led into Babylon, and there served the king and his sons till the reign of the king of Persia.
20 Los que quedaron del cuchillo, pasáronlos á Babilonia; y fueron siervos de él y de sus hijos, hasta que vino el reino de los Persas;
21 That the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremias might be fulfilled, and the land might keep her sabbaths: for all the days of the desolation she kept a sabbath, till the seventy years were expired.
21 Para que se cumpliese la palabra de Jehová por la boca de Jeremías, hasta que la tierra hubo gozado sus sábados: porque todo el tiempo de su asolamiento reposó, hasta que los setenta años fueron cumplidos.
22 But in the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the mouth of Jeremias, the Lord stirred up the heart of Cyrus king of the Persians who commanded it to be proclaimed through all his kingdom, and by writing also, saying:
22 Mas al primer año de Ciro rey de los Persas, para que se cumpliese la palabra de Jehová por boca de Jeremías, Jehová excitó el espíritu de Ciro rey de los Persas, el cual hizo pasar pregón por todo su reino, y también por escrito, diciendo:
23 Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians: All the kingdoms of the earth hath the Lord the God of heaven given to me, and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judea: who is there among you of all his people? The Lord his God be with him, and let him go up.
23 Así dice Ciro rey de los Persas: Jehová, el Dios de los cielos, me ha dado todos los reinos de la tierra; y él me ha encargado que le edifique casa en Jerusalem, que es en Judá. ¿Quién de vosotros hay de todo su pueblo? Jehová su Dios sea con él, y suba.
