Βασιλειῶν Δʹ 24
1 ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ ἀνέβη Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ Ιωακιμ δοῦλος τρία ἔτη καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ἠθέτησεν ἐν αὐτῷ
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
2 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτῷ τοὺς μονοζώνους τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ τοὺς μονοζώνους Συρίας καὶ τοὺς μονοζώνους Μωαβ καὶ τοὺς μονοζώνους υἱῶν Αμμων καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ γῇ Ιουδα τοῦ κατισχῦσαι κατὰ τὸν λόγον κυρίου ὃν ἐλάλησεν ἐν χειρὶ τῶν δούλων αὐτοῦ τῶν προφητῶν
The LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
3 πλὴν ἐπὶ τὸν θυμὸν κυρίου ἦν ἐν τῷ Ιουδα ἀποστῆσαι αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις Μανασση κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν
Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 καί γε αἷμα ἀθῷον ἐξέχεεν καὶ ἔπλησεν τὴν Ιερουσαλημ αἵματος ἀθῴου καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν κύριος ἱλασθῆναι
and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.
5 καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ιωακιμ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν οὐκ ἰδοὺ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ιωακιμ μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ιωακιμ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
7 καὶ οὐ προσέθετο ἔτι βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου ἐξελθεῖν ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἔλαβεν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἀπὸ τοῦ χειμάρρου Αἰγύπτου ἕως τοῦ ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου πάντα ὅσα ἦν τοῦ βασιλέως Αἰγύπτου
The king of Egypt didn’t come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
8 υἱὸς ὀκτωκαίδεκα ἐτῶν Ιωακιμ ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ τρίμηνον ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Νεσθα θυγάτηρ Ελλαναθαν ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
10 ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀνέβη Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἦλθεν ἡ πόλις ἐν περιοχῇ
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐπολιόρκουν ἐπ’ αὐτήν
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
12 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ιωακιμ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα ἐπὶ βασιλέα Βαβυλῶνος αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ εὐνοῦχοι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος ἐν ἔτει ὀγδόῳ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ
and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.
13 καὶ ἐξήνεγκεν ἐκεῖθεν πάντας τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου κυρίου καὶ τοὺς θησαυροὺς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ συνέκοψεν πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ χρυσᾶ ἃ ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ναῷ κυρίου κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου
He carried out from there all the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the LORD’s temple, as the LORD had said.
14 καὶ ἀπῴκισεν τὴν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ τοὺς δυνατοὺς ἰσχύι αἰχμαλωσίας δέκα χιλιάδας αἰχμαλωτίσας καὶ πᾶν τέκτονα καὶ τὸν συγκλείοντα καὶ οὐχ ὑπελείφθη πλὴν οἱ πτωχοὶ τῆς γῆς
He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
15 καὶ ἀπῴκισεν τὸν Ιωακιμ εἰς Βαβυλῶνα καὶ τὴν μητέρα τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς εὐνούχους αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς ἰσχυροὺς τῆς γῆς ἀπήγαγεν ἀποικεσίαν ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ εἰς Βαβυλῶνα
He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς δυνάμεως ἑπτακισχιλίους καὶ τὸν τέκτονα καὶ τὸν συγκλείοντα χιλίους πάντες δυνατοὶ ποιοῦντες πόλεμον καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος μετοικεσίαν εἰς Βαβυλῶνα
All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος τὸν Μαθθανιαν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Σεδεκια
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ ἑνὸς ἐνιαυτοῦ Σεδεκιας ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ ἕνδεκα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Αμιταλ θυγάτηρ Ιερεμιου
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησεν Ιωακιμ
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 ὅτι ἐπὶ τὸν θυμὸν κυρίου ἦν ἐπὶ Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐν τῷ Ιουδα ἕως ἀπέρριψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠθέτησεν Σεδεκιας ἐν τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος
For through the anger of the LORD, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
