2 Královská 24
1 Za dnů jeho přitáhl Nabuchodonozor král Babylonský, i učiněn jest Joakim služebníkem jeho za tři léta. Potom odvrátiv se, zprotivil se jemu.
While Jehoiakim was ruling [Judah, the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Judah. [They defeated the Judean army, and as a result, ] Jehoiakim was required to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to King Nebuchadnezzar. But after three years, Jehoiakim rebelled.
2 Protož poslal Hospodin na něj lotříky Kaldejské a lotříky Syrské, i lotříky Moábské a lotříky synů Ammon, poslal je, pravím, na Judu, aby ho zkazili vedlé řeči Hospodinovy, kterouž byl mluvil skrze služebníky své proroky.
Then Yahweh sent raiders from Babylonia and Syria, and from the Moab and Ammon people-groups, to attack the people of Judah and get rid of them, just as Yahweh had told his prophets to warn the people would happen.
3 A jistě podlé řeči Hospodinovy to se dálo proti Judovi, aby jej zavrhl od tváři své pro hříchy Manassesovy, vedlé toho všeho, což byl činil,
These things happened to the people of Judah according to what Yahweh commanded. [He had decided] to get rid of the people of Judah because of the many sins that King Manasseh [had committed].
4 Ano i pro krev nevinnou, kterouž vylil, naplniv Jeruzalém krví nevinnou, čehož nechtěl Hospodin prominouti.
Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
5 O jiných pak věcech Joakimových, a cožkoli činil, psáno jest v knize o králích Judských.
The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king, and all the things that he did, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
6 A tak usnul Joakim s otci svými, a kraloval Joachin syn jeho místo něho.
When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
7 Král pak Egyptský nikdy více nevytáhl z země své; nebo král Babylonský pobral od řeky Egyptské až k řece Eufraten všecko, cožkoli měl král Egyptský.
[The army of] the king of Babylon [defeated the army of Egypt, and] took control of all the area that the Egyptians formerly controlled, from the brook [at the border] of Egypt [in the south] to the Euphrates River [in the north]. So [the army of] the king of Egypt did not return [to attack Judah] again.
8 V osmnácti letech byl Joachin, když počal kralovati, a tři měsíce kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho Nechusta, dcera Elnatanova z Jeruzaléma.
Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king of Judah. His mother’s name was Nehushta; she was the daughter of a man from Jerusalem named Elnathan. Jehoiachin ruled in Jerusalem for [only] three months.
9 I činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, všecko tak, jakž byl činil otec jeho.
Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
10 Toho času vytáhli služebníci Nabuchodonozora krále Babylonského proti Jeruzalému, a obleženo jest město.
[While Jehoiachin was king, ] some officers of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came [along with the whole Babylonian army] to Jerusalem, and they surrounded the city.
11 Ano i Nabuchodonozor král Babylonský přitáhl proti městu, když služebníci jeho leželi vůkol něho.
While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
12 Tedy vyšel Joachin král Judský k králi Babylonskému, i s matkou svou i s služebníky, knížaty i komorníky svými, kteréhož vzal král Babylonský léta osmého kralování svého.
Then King Jehoiachin and his mother and his advisors and important officers and palace officials all surrendered to the Babylonian army. These thngs happened when Nebuchadnezzar had been king for eight years. He arrested Jehoiachin and took him to Babylon.
13 A vynesl odtud všecky poklady domu Hospodinova, a poklady domu královského, a ztloukl všecky nádoby zlaté, jichž byl nadělal Šalomoun král Izraelský do domu Hospodinova, jakož byl mluvil Hospodin.
Just as Yahweh had said would happen, Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took [to Babylon] all the valuable things from Yahweh’s temple and from the king’s palace. They cut apart all the gold items that King Solomon had put in the temple.
14 Při tom přenesl všecken Jeruzalém a všecka knížata i všecky muže udatné, deset tisíců zajatých, i všecky tesaře a kováře. Žádného nezanechal, kromě chaterných lidí země.
They took from Jerusalem [to Babylon] 10,000 people, including the important officials and the best soldiers and the people who made and repaired things that were made of metal. Only the very poor people were left in Judah.
15 Zavedl také i Joachina do Babylona, a matku jeho i ženy královské i komorníky jeho; silné také země zavedl do vězení z Jeruzaléma do Babylona.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
16 Všech také mužů udatných sedm tisíců, tesařů také a kovářů tisíc, všecky též zmužilé bojovníky zavedl jaté král Babylonský do Babylona.
They also took to Babylon 7,000 of the best soldiers and 1,000 men who knew how to make and repair things that are made from metal. All of these people whom they took were strong and able to fight in wars.
17 Ustanovil pak král Babylonský Mataniáše, strýce jeho, králem místo něho, a změnil mu jméno, aby sloul Sedechiáš.
Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
18 V jedenmecítma letech byl Sedechiáš, když počal kralovati a jedenácte let kraloval v Jeruzalémě. Jméno matky jeho bylo Chamutal, dcera Jeremiášova z Lebna.
When Zedekiah was twenty-one years old, he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of a man named Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
19 I činil to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma, všecko tak, jakž byl dělal Joakim.
But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Nebo se to dálo pro rozhněvání Hospodinovo proti Jeruzalému a Judovi, až je i zavrhl od tváři své. V tom opět zprotivil se Sedechiáš králi Babylonskému.
Yahweh was very angry. So (and finally/after he had been patient a long time) he expelled the people of Jerusalem and [the other places in] Judah and sent them to Babylon. [That is what happened when] Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
