2 Kings 24
1 In his dayes came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vp, and Iehoiakim became his seruant three yeere: afterwarde he turned, and rebelled against him.
約雅金年間，巴比倫王拿步高進犯，約雅金臣服了他三年，以後又背叛了他。
2 And the Lord sent against him bandes of the Caldees, and bands of the Aramites, and bands of the Moabites, and bandes of the Ammonites, and he sent them against Iudah to destroy it, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by his seruants the Prophets.
上主派加色丁、阿蘭、摩阿布和阿孟人的雜軍來，不斷侵犯約雅金；上主派這些人來進攻消滅猶大，正如上主藉他的僕人先知們所說的話。
3 Surely by the commandement of the Lord came this vpon Iudah, that he might put them out of his sight for the sinnes of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
猶大遭遇這件事，確是由上主的命令，因為衪要由自己面前拋棄猶大：這是為了默納舍所犯的一切罪患，
4 And for the innocent blood that he shed, (for he filled Ierusalem with innocent blood) therefore the Lord would not pardon it.
也是因了他所流的無辜者的血，他使無辜者的血流滿了耶路撒冷，上主不肯寬恕。
5 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kinges of Iudah?
約雅金其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，都記載在猶大列王的實錄上。
6 So Iehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Iehoiachin his sonne reigned in his steade.
約雅金與祖先同眼，他的兒子耶苛尼雅繼位為王。
7 And the King of Egypt came no more out of his lande: for the King of Babel had taken from the riuer of Egypt, vnto the riuer Perath, all that pertained to the King of Egypt.
從此埃及王不敢再離開本國出征，因為巴比倫王征服了從埃及河直到幼發拉的河屬於埃及的領土。
8 Iehoiachin was eighteene yere old, when he beganne to reigne, and reigned in Ierusalem three moneths. His mothers name also was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Ierusalem.
耶苛尼雅登極時年十八歲，在耶路撒冷作王三個月；他的母親名叫胡市達，是耶路撒冷人厄耳納堂的女兒。
9 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father had done.
他行了上主視為惡的事，像他父親所行的一樣。
10 In that time came the seruants of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel vp against Ierusalem: so the citie was besieged.
那時巴比倫王拿步高的臣僕前來圍攻耶路撒冷。
11 And Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came against the citie, and his seruants did besiege it.
當他的臣僕圍攻耶路撒冷時，巴比倫王拿步高親自來督戰攻城。
12 Then Iehoiachin the king of Iudah came out against the King of Babel, he, and his mother and his seruants, and his princes, and his eunuches: and the King of Babel tooke him in the eyght yeere of his reigne.
耶苛尼雅和他的母親臣僕、公卿以及太監，都出來投降巴比倫王；巴比倫王將他們擄去，時在巴比倫王在位第八年。
13 And he caryed out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house, and brake all the vessels of gold, which Salomon King of Israel had made in the Temple of the Lord, as the Lord had saide.
巴比倫王且搶去了上主殿內的一切寶藏，和王宮中的寶藏，打碎了以色列王撒羅滿為上主聖殿所製的一切金器，正如上主所預言的；
14 And he caryed away all Ierusalem, and all the princes, and all the strong men of warre, euen ten thousande into captiuitie, and all the workemen, and cunning men: so none remained sauing the poore people of the lande.
也擄去了耶路撒冷的民眾，所有的官紳和勇士，共一萬人，以及所有的工匠和鐵匠，只留下了地方上最窮苦的平民。
15 And he caryed away Iehoiachin into Babel, and the Kings mother, and the Kinges wiues, and his eunuches, and the mightie of the lande caryed he away into captiuitie from Ierusalem to Babel,
他將耶苛尼雅擄到巴比倫去，也將太后、后妃、君王的內侍，以及地方上的王公大人，都從耶路撒冷擄到巴比倫去。
16 And al the men of warre, euen seuen thousand, and carpenters, and lockesmithes a thousande: all that were strong and apt for warre, did the King of Babel bring to Babel captiues.
一切有氣力的人，人數約七千，工匠和鐵匠，人數約一千，都是能打仗的勇士，巴比倫王都擄到巴比倫去。
17 And the King of Babel made Mattaniah his vncle King in his steade, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
巴比倫王立了耶苛尼雅的叔父瑪塔尼雅代他為王，給他改名叫漆德克雅。
18 Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Hamutal the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
漆德克雅登極時年二十一歲，在耶路撒冷為王十一年；他的母親始叫哈慕塔耳，是里貝納人耶勒米雅的女兒。
19 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done.
他行了上主視為惡的事，伓像約雅金所行的一樣；
20 Therefore certainly the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah vntill he cast them out of his sight. And Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.
因此，上主向耶路撒冷和猶大大發憤怒，由自己面前將他們拋棄。以後漆德克雅背叛了巴比倫王。
