2 Kings 24
1 In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.
约雅敬年间，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上到 犹大；约雅敬服事他三年，然后背叛他。
2 And Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets.
耶和华使迦勒底军、亚兰军、摩押军，和亚扪人的军来攻击约雅敬，毁灭犹大，正如耶和华借他仆人众先知所说的。
3 Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;
这祸临到犹大人，诚然是耶和华所命的，要将他们从自己面前赶出，是因玛拿西所犯的一切罪；
4 and also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.
又因他流无辜人的血，充满了耶路撒冷；耶和华决不肯赦免。
5 And the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
约雅敬其余的事，凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上。
6 And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
约雅敬与他列祖同睡。他儿子约雅斤接续他作王。
7 And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
埃及王不再从他国中出来；因为巴比伦王将埃及王所管之地，从埃及小河直到幼发拉底河都夺去了。
8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
约雅斤登基的时候年十八岁，在耶路撒冷作王三个月。他母亲名叫尼护施她，是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿。
9 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.
约雅斤行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，效法他父亲一切所行的。
10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
那时，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的军兵上到耶路撒冷，围困城。
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
当他军兵围困城的时候，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒就亲自来了。
12 And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
犹大王约雅斤和他母亲、臣仆、首领、太监一同出城，投降巴比伦王；巴比伦王便拿住他。那时是巴比伦王第八年。
13 And he brought out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.
巴比伦王将耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物都拿去了，将以色列王所罗门所造耶和华殿里的金器都毁坏了，正如耶和华所说的；
14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land.
又将耶路撒冷的众民和众首领，并所有大能的勇士，共一万人，连一切木匠、铁匠都掳了去；除了国中极贫穷的人以外，没有剩下的；
15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;
并将约雅斤和王母、后妃、太监，与国中的大官，都从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去了；
16 and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.
又将一切勇士七千人和木匠、铁匠一千人，都是能上阵的勇士，全掳到巴比伦去了。
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
巴比伦王立约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅代替他作王，给玛探雅改名叫西底家。
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
西底家登基的时候年二十一岁，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母亲名叫哈慕她，是立拿人耶利米的女儿。
19 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
西底家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，是照约雅敬一切所行的。
20 For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
因此耶和华的怒气在耶路撒冷和犹大发作，以致将人民从自己面前赶出。
