2 Raja-raja 24
1 Semasa pemerintahan Raja Yoyakim, Nebukadnezar raja Babel menyerang dan menaklukkan Yehuda. Tiga tahun lamanya Yoyakim tunduk kepada Nebukadnezar, tetapi kemudian ia memberontak.
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has come up, and Jehoiakim is a servant to him [for] three years; and he turns and rebels against him,
2 TUHAN mengirim gerombolan-gerombolan bersenjata dari bangsa Babel, Siria, Moab dan Amon untuk melawan Yoyakim dan membinasakan Yehuda, sesuai dengan apa yang telah dikatakan-Nya melalui para nabi hamba-hamba-Nya.
and YHWH sends against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sends them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of His servants the prophets;
3 Memang hal itu harus terjadi, karena TUHAN sudah mengatakan bahwa bangsa Yehuda akan dibuang dari negeri yang diberikan TUHAN kepada mereka. Mereka dibuang karena segala dosa yang dilakukan oleh Raja Manasye;
only, by the command of YHWH it has been against Judah to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 terutama karena semua pembunuhan yang dilakukannya terhadap orang-orang yang tidak bersalah. TUHAN tidak mau mengampuni Manasye karena perbuatan-perbuatannya itu.
and also the innocent blood that he has shed, and he fills Jerusalem with innocent blood, and YHWH was not willing to forgive.
5 Seluruh daerah, dari Sungai Efrat sampai perbatasan Mesir sebelah utara yang termasuk wilayah pemerintahan raja Mesir, dikuasai oleh raja Babel. Karena itu raja Mesir tidak pernah lagi keluar dari negerinya untuk pergi berperang. Kisah lainnya mengenai Raja Yoyakim dicatat dalam buku Sejarah Raja-raja Yehuda. Setelah Yoyakim meninggal, putranya yang bernama Yoyakhin menjadi raja menggantikan dia.
And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
And Jehoiakim lies with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigns in his stead.
And the king of Egypt has not added anymore to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon has taken, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River, all that had been to the king of Egypt.
8 Yoyakhin berumur 18 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda, dan ia memerintah di Yerusalem tiga bulan lamanya. Ibunya bernama Nehusta anak Elnatan, dari Yerusalem.
Jehoiachin [is] a son of eighteen years in his reigning, and he has reigned three months in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
9 Seperti ayahnya, Yoyakhin pun berdosa kepada TUHAN.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his fathers did.
10 Dalam masa pemerintahan Yoyakhin, pasukan Babel yang dipimpin oleh perwira-perwira Nebukadnezar, maju menyerang Yerusalem, dan mengepung kota itu.
At that time servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon have come up to Jerusalem, and the city goes into siege,
11 Sementara kota itu dikepung, Nebukadnezar sendiri datang ke Yerusalem,
and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes against the city, and his servants are laying siege to it,
12 lalu Raja Yoyakhin bersama ibunya, anak-anaknya, perwira-perwiranya serta pegawai-pegawai istananya menyerah kepada Nebukadnezar. Lalu Yoyakhin ditawan. Hal itu terjadi pada tahun kedelapan pemerintahan Nebukadnezar.
and Jehoiachin king of Judah goes out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon takes him in the eighth year of his reign,
13 Semua perkakas emas yang dibuat oleh Raja Salomo untuk Rumah TUHAN, dirusak oleh Nebukadnezar. Lalu semua benda berharga yang terdapat di Rumah TUHAN itu dan di istana diangkutnya ke Babel. Semua itu terjadi sesuai dengan apa yang telah dikatakan TUHAN sebelumnya.
and brings out from there all the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cuts in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of YHWH, as YHWH had spoken.
14 Raja Yoyakhin, ibunya, istri-istrinya, pegawai-pegawainya, dan pemimpin-pemimpin Yehuda--seluruhnya 7.000 orang terkemuka--ditawan dan diangkut ke Babel. Juga para pekerja ahli dan pandai besi sebanyak 1.000 orang, semuanya orang kuat-kuat dan berani-berani untuk berperang. Orang-orang keturunan raja, dan orang-orang terkemuka pun diangkut juga ke pembuangan--semuanya ada 10.000 orang. Hampir seluruh penduduk Yerusalem diangkut; yang tertinggal hanyalah rakyat yang paling miskin.
And he has removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty men of valor—ten thousand [is] the expulsion—and every craftsman and smith; none has been left except the poor of the people of the land.
And he removes Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land—he has caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon,
and all the men of valor, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths, one thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon brings them in a captivity to Babylon.
17 Kemudian Nebukadnezar mengangkat Matanya, paman Yoyakhin, menjadi raja Yehuda, dan mengubah namanya menjadi Zedekia.
And the king of Babylon causes his father’s brother Mattaniah to reign in his stead, and turns his name to Zedekiah.
18 Zedekia berumur 21 tahun ketika ia menjadi raja Yehuda. Ia memerintah di Yerusalem 11 tahun lamanya. Ibunya bernama Hamutal, anak Yeremia dari kota Libna.
Zedekiah [is] a son of twenty-one years in his reigning, and he has reigned eleven years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
19 Seperti Raja Yoyakim, Raja Zedekia juga berdosa kepada TUHAN.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH according to all that Jehoiakim did,
20 TUHAN marah sekali kepada penduduk Yerusalem dan orang Yehuda sehingga Ia tidak lagi memperhatikan mereka.
for by the anger of YHWH it has been against Jerusalem and against Judah, until He [finally] cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebels against the king of Babylon.
