2 Kings 24
1 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.
| در دورهٔ سلطنت یهویاقیم، نِبوکَدنِصَّر، پادشاه بابِل به اورشلیم حمله کرد. یهویاقیم تسلیم شد و سه سال به او باج و خراج پرداخت، اما بعد از آن، سر از فرمان وی پیچید و شورش نمود. |
2 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.
| خداوند لشکر بابِلی، سوری، موآبی و عمونی را فرستاد تا همان‌طور که به‌وسیلۀ انبیا خبر داده بود، یهودا را نابود کنند. |
3 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].
| بدون شک این بلاها به فرمان خداوند بر یهودا نازل شد. خداوند تصمیم داشت یهودا را به سبب گناهان بی‌شمار مَنَسی طرد کند، |
4 Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
| زیرا مَنَسی اورشلیم را از خون بی‌گناهان پر کرده بود و خداوند نخواست این گناهان را ببخشد. |
5 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’.
| شرح بقیهٔ رویدادهای دوران سلطنت یهویاقیم و کارهای او در کتاب تاریخ پادشاهان یهودا نوشته شده است. |
6 When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
| پس از مرگ یهویاقیم پسرش یهویاکین به جای او بر تخت سلطنت نشست. |
7 [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.
| (پادشاه مصر دیگر از مرزهای خود خارج نشد، زیرا پادشاه بابِل تمام متصرفات مصر را که شامل یهودا هم می‌شد، از نهر مصر تا رود فرات، اشغال نمود.) |
8 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.
| یهویاکین هجده ساله بود که پادشاه یهودا شد و سه ماه در اورشلیم سلطنت کرد. (مادرش نحوشطا، دختر الناتان و از اهالی اورشلیم بود.) |
9 Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
| یهویاکین مانند پدرش نسبت به خداوند گناه ورزید. |
10 [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.
| در دورهٔ سلطنت یهویاکین، لشکر نِبوکَدنِصَّر، پادشاه بابِل، اورشلیم را محاصره کرد. |
11 While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
| وقتی شهر در محاصره بود، خود نِبوکَدنِصَّر هم به آنجا رسید. |
12 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.
| یهویاکین و تمام مقامات و فرماندهان و خدمتگزاران دربارش و ملکهٔ مادر تسلیم نِبوکَدنِصَّر شدند. پادشاه بابِل در سال هشتم سلطنت خود، یهویاکین را زندانی کرد. |
13 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.
| طبق آنچه خداوند فرموده بود، بابِلی‌ها تمام اشیاء قیمتی خانهٔ خداوند، جواهرات کاخ سلطنتی و تمام ظروف طلا را که سلیمان پادشاه برای خانهٔ خداوند ساخته بود، در هم شکستند. |
14 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.
| نِبوکَدنِصَّر اهالی اورشلیم را که شامل فرماندهان و سربازان، صنعتگران و آهنگران می‌شدند و تعدادشان به ده هزار نفر می‌رسید به بابِل تبعید کرد، و فقط افراد فقیر را در آن سرزمین باقی گذاشت. |
15 Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
| نِبوکَدنِصَّر، یهویاکین را با مادر و زنان او، فرماندهان و مقامات مملکتی به بابِل برد. |
16 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.
| همچنین تمام سربازان جنگ آزموده را که هفت هزار نفر بودند و هزار صنعتگر و آهنگر را اسیر کرده، به بابِل برد. |
17 Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
| بعد پادشاه بابِل متنیا عموی یهویاکین را به جای او به پادشاهی تعیین نمود و نامش را به صدقیا تغییر داد. |
18 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].
| صدقیا بیست و یک ساله بود که پادشاه یهودا شد و یازده سال در اورشلیم سلطنت نمود. (مادرش حموطل، دختر ارمیا و از اهالی لبنه بود.) |
19 But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
| او مانند یهویاقیم نسبت به خداوند گناه ورزید. |
20 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.
| خشم خداوند بر مردم اورشلیم و یهودا افروخته شد و او ایشان را طرد نمود. |
