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.
Durante el reinado de Joaquim, Nabucodonosor, tipo de Babilonia, invadió el país y Joaquim se sometió a él. Pero después de tres años Joaquim se rebeló contra Nabucodonosor.
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.
Entonces el Señor envió bandas de asaltantes contra Judá para destruirlos. Vinieron de Babilonia, Harán, Moab y Amón, tal como el Señor había dicho por medio de sus siervos los profetas.
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,
El Señor habló contra Judá para desterrarlos de su presencia a causa de todos los pecados que Manasés había cometido y de la gente inocente que había matado,
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.
llenando Jerusalén con su sangre. El Señor no estaba dispuesto a perdonar esto.
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.
El resto de lo que sucedió en el reinado de Joaquim, y todo lo que hizo, está registrado en el Libro de las Crónicas de los Reyes de Judá.
6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
Joaquim murió, y su hijo Joaquim lo sucedió como rey.
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.
El rey de Egipto no volvió a salir de su país, pues el rey de Babilonia se había apoderado de todo el territorio que le pertenecía, desde el Wadi de Egipto hasta el río Éufrates.
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.
Joaquim tenía dieciocho años cuando llegó a ser rey, y reinó en Jerusalén durante tres meses. Su madre era Nejustá, hija de Elnatán. Ella era de Jerusalén.
9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
Joaquim hizo lo malo a los ojos del Señor, tal como lo había hecho su padre.
10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
En aquel tiempo los oficiales de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, atacaron Jerusalén y la sitiaron.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
Entonces Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino en persona mientras sus oficiales estaban sitiando la ciudad.
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.
Joaquim, rey de Israel, se rindió al rey de Babilonia, junto con su madre, sus oficiales, sus comandantes y sus funcionarios. Fue en el octavo año de su reinado cuando Nabucodonosor capturó a Joaquim.
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.
Nabucodonosor tomó todos los tesoros del Templo del Señor y del palacio real, y cortó todos los objetos de oro que Salomón, rey de Israel, había hecho para el Templo del Señor, como el Señor había dicho que sucedería.
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.
Deportó a toda Jerusalén, a todos los comandantes y a los soldados experimentados, a todos los artesanos y a los trabajadores del metal, un total de diez mil prisioneros. Sólo quedó la gente muy pobre del país.
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,
Se llevó a Joaquim al exilio en Babilonia, así como a la madre del rey y a las esposas del rey y a sus funcionarios y a los principales hombres del país, a todos los deportó de Jerusalén a Babilonia.
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.
El rey de Babilonia también deportó a Babilonia a los siete mil hombres de combate y a los mil artesanos y metalúrgicos, todos ellos fuertes y preparados para la batalla.
17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
El rey de Babilonia nombró rey a Matanías, tío de Joaquim, en su lugar, y le cambió el nombre por el de Sedequías.
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.
Sedequías tenía veintiún años cuando llegó a ser rey, y reinó en Jerusalén durante once años. Su madre se llamaba Jamutal, hija de Jeremías.
19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
Sus hechos fueron malos a los ojos del Señor, tal como los de Joaquim.
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.
Todo esto sucedió en Jerusalén y en Judá, a causa de la ira del Señor, hasta que finalmente los desterró de su presencia. Sedequías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia.
