2 Koenige 24

1 Zu seiner Zeit zog herauf Nebukadnezar der König zu Babel; und Jojakim ward ihm untertänig drei Jahre. Und er wandte sich und ward abtrünnig von ihm.

During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.

2 Und der HERR ließ auf ihn Kriegsknechte kommen aus Chaldäa, aus Syrien, aus Moab, aus den Kindern Ammon und ließ sie in Juda kommen, daß sie ihn umbrächten, nach dem Wort des HERRN, das er geredet hatte durch seine Knechte, die Propheten.

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.

3 Es geschah aber Juda also nach dem Wort des HERRN, daß er sie von seinem Angesicht täte, um der Sünde willen Manasses, die er getan hatte;

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,

4 auch um des unschuldigen Bluts willen, das er vergoß, und machte Jerusalem voll mit unschuldigem Blut, wollte der HERR nicht vergeben.

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.

5 Was mehr zu sagen ist von Jojakim, und alles, was er getan hat, siehe, das ist geschrieben in der Chronik der Könige Judas.

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.

6 Und Jojakim entschlief mit seinen Vätern; und sein Sohn Jojachin ward König an seiner Statt.

And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.

7 Und der König in Ägypten zog nicht mehr aus seinem Lande; denn der König zu Babel hatte ihm genommen alles, was des Königs in Ägypten war, vom Bach Ägyptens an bis an das Wasser Phrath.

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.

8 Achtzehn Jahre alt war Jojachin, da er König ward, und regierete drei Monden zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Nehustha, eine Tochter Elnathans von Jerusalem.

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.

9 Und tat, das dem HERRN übel gefiel, wie sein Vater getan hatte.

And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.

10 Zu der Zeit zogen herauf die Knechte Nebukadnezars, des Königs zu Babel, gen Jerusalem und kamen an die Stadt mit Bollwerk.

At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.

11 Und da Nebukadnezar zur Stadt kam und seine Knechte, belagerte er sie.

And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.

12 Aber Jojachin, der König Judas, ging heraus zum Könige von Babel mit seiner Mutter, mit seinen Knechten, mit seinen Obersten und Kämmerern; und der König von Babel nahm ihn auf im achten Jahr seines Königreichs.

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.

13 Und nahm von dannen heraus alle Schätze im Hause des HERRN und im Hause des Königs und zerschlug alle güldenen Gefäße, die Salomo, der König Israels, gemacht hatte im Tempel des HERRN wie denn der HERR geredet hatte;

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.

14 und führete weg das ganze Jerusalem, alle Obersten, alle Gewaltigen, zehntausend Gefangene und alle Zimmerleute und alle Schmiede; und ließ nichts übrig, denn gering Volk des Landes.

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.

15 Und führete weg Jojachin gen Babel, die Mutter des Königs, die Weiber des Königs und seine Kämmerer; dazu die Mächtigen im Lande führete er auch gefangen von Jerusalem gen Babel,

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,

16 und was der besten Leute waren, siebentausend, und die Zimmerleute und Schmiede, tausend, alle starken Kriegsmänner; und der König von Babel brachte sie gen Babel.

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.

17 Und der König von Babel machte Mathanja, seinen Vetter, zum Könige an seiner Statt und wandelte seinen Namen Zidekia.

And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.

18 Einundzwanzig Jahre alt war Zidekia, da er König ward, und regierete elf Jahre zu Jerusalem. Seine Mutter hieß Hamital, eineTochter Jeremias von Libna.

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.

19 Und er tat, das dem HERRN übel gefiel, wie Jojakim getan hatte.

And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.

20 Denn es geschah also mit Jerusalem und Juda aus dem Zorn des HERRN, bis daß er sie von seinem Angesicht würfe. Und Zidekia ward abtrünnig vom Könige zu Babel.

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.
