2 Kings 24
1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
Dalam zamannya majulah berperang Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, lalu Yoyakim menjadi takluk kepadanya tiga tahun lamanya; tetapi kemudian Yoyakim berbalik dan memberontak terhadap dia.
2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
TUHAN menyuruh gerombolan-gerombolan Kasdim, gerombolan-gerombolan Aram, gerombolan-gerombolan Moab dan gerombolan-gerombolan bani Amon melawan Yoyakim; Ia menyuruh mereka melawan Yehuda untuk membinasakannya sesuai dengan firman TUHAN yang diucapkan-Nya dengan perantaraan para hamba-Nya, yaitu para nabi.
3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
Sungguh, hal itu terjadi kepada Yehuda sesuai dengan titah TUHAN untuk menjauhkan mereka dari hadapan-Nya oleh karena dosa-dosa Manasye, setimpal dengan segala yang dilakukannya,
4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
dan juga oleh karena darah orang yang tidak bersalah yang telah ditumpahkannya, sebab ia telah membuat Yerusalem penuh dengan darah orang yang tidak bersalah, dan TUHAN tidak mau mengampuninya.
5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
Selebihnya dari riwayat Yoyakim dan segala yang dilakukannya, bukankah semuanya itu tertulis dalam kitab sejarah raja-raja Yehuda?
6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
Kemudian Yoyakim mendapat perhentian bersama-sama dengan nenek moyangnya, maka Yoyakhin, anaknya, menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
Raja Mesir tidak lagi keluar berperang dari negerinya, sebab raja Babel telah merebut segala yang termasuk wilayah raja Mesir mulai dari sungai Mesir sampai ke sungai Efrat.
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
Yoyakhin berumur delapan belas tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan tiga bulan lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Nehusta binti Elnatan, dari Yerusalem.
9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN tepat seperti yang dilakukan ayahnya.
10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
Pada waktu itu majulah orang-orang Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, menyerang Yerusalem dan kota itu dikepung.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
Juga Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, datang menyerang kota itu, sedang orang-orangnya mengepungnya.
12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
Lalu keluarlah Yoyakhin, raja Yehuda, mendapatkan raja Babel, ia sendiri, ibunya, pegawai-pegawainya, para pembesarnya dan pegawai-pegawai istananya. Raja Babel menangkap dia pada tahun yang kedelapan dari pemerintahannya.
13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
Ia mengeluarkan dari sana segala barang perbendaharaan rumah TUHAN dan barang-barang perbendaharaan istana raja; juga dikeratnya emas dari segala perkakas emas yang dibuat oleh Salomo, raja Israel, di bait TUHAN seperti yang telah difirmankan TUHAN.
14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
Ia mengangkut seluruh penduduk Yerusalem ke dalam pembuangan, semua panglima dan semua pahlawan yang gagah perkasa, sepuluh ribu orang tawanan, juga semua tukang dan pandai besi; tidak ada yang ditinggalkan kecuali orang-orang lemah dari rakyat negeri.
15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
Ia mengangkut Yoyakhin ke dalam pembuangan ke Babel, juga ibunda raja, isteri-isteri raja, pegawai-pegawai istananya dan orang-orang berkuasa di negeri itu dibawanya sebagai orang buangan dari Yerusalem ke Babel.
16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
Semua orang yang gagah perkasa, tujuh ribu orang banyaknya, para tukang dan para pandai besi, seribu orang banyaknya, sekalian pahlawan yang sanggup berperang, dibawa oleh raja Babel sebagai orang buangan ke Babel.
17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
Kemudian raja Babel mengangkat Matanya, paman Yoyakhin, menjadi raja menggantikan dia dan menukar namanya menjadi Zedekia.
18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
Zedekia berumur dua puluh satu tahun pada waktu ia menjadi raja dan sebelas tahun lamanya ia memerintah di Yerusalem. Nama ibunya ialah Hamutal binti Yeremia, dari Libna.
19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
Ia melakukan apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN tepat seperti yang dilakukan Yoyakim.
20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
Sebab oleh karena murka Tuhanlah terjadi hal itu terhadap Yerusalem dan Yehuda, yakni bahwa Ia sampai membuang mereka dari hadapan-Nya. Zedekia memberontak terhadap raja Babel.
