Ii Regum 24

1 In diebus eius ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et factus est ei Ioakim servus tribus annis: et rursum rebellavit contra eum.

In his days came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and Jehoyakim became his servant for three years: and then he returned and rebelled against him.

2 Immisitque ei Dominus latrunculos Chaldaeorum, et latrunculos Syriae, et latrunculos Moab, et latrunculos filiorum Ammon: et immisit eos in Iudam, ut disperderent eum, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat per servos suos prophetas.

And the Lord sent against him predatory bands of the Chaldeans, and predatory bands of the Syrians, and predatory bands of the Moabites, and predatory bands of the children of 'Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by means of his servants the prophets.

3 Factum est autem hoc per verbum Domini contra Iudam, ut auferret eum coram se propter peccata Manasse universa quae fecit,

But only at the order of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove the same out of his sight, for the sins of Menasseh, in accordance with all that he had done;

4 et propter sanguinem innoxium, quem effudit, et implevit Ierusalem cruore innocentium: et ob hanc rem noluit Dominus propitiari.

And also for the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; wherefore the Lord would not pardon.

5 Reliqua autem sermonum Ioakim, et universa quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda? Et dormivit Ioakim cum patribus suis:

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoyakim, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.

6 et regnavit Ioachin filius eius pro eo.

And Jehoyakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.

7 Et ultra non addidit rex Aegypti, ut egrederetur de terra sua: tulerat enim rex Babylonis a rivo Aegypti usque ad fluvium Euphraten, omnia quae fuerant regis Aegypti.

And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that had pertained to the king of Egypt.

8 Decem et octo annorum erat Ioachin cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Nohesta filia Elnathan de Ierusalem.

Eighteen years old was Jehoyachin when he became king, and three months did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Nechushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

9 Et fecit malum coram Domino, iuxta omnia quae fecerat pater eius.

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as that his father had done.

10 In tempore illo ascenderunt servi Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis in Ierusalem, et circumdata est urbs munitionibus.

At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was put in a state of siege.

11 Venitque Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad civitatem cum servis suis ut oppugnarent eam.

And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.

12 Egressusque est Ioachin rex Iuda ad regem Babylonis, ipse et mater eius, et servi eius, et principes eius, et eunuchi eius: et suscepit eum rex Babylonis anno octavo regni sui.

And Jehoyachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his court-officers: and the king of Babylon took him [captive] in the eighth year of his reign.

13 Et protulit inde omnes thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros domus regiae: et concidit universa vasa aurea, quae fecerat Salomon rex Israel in templo Domini iuxta verbum Domini.

And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon the king of Israel had made in the temple of the Lord, as the Lord had spoken.

14 Et transtulit omnem Ierusalem, et universos principes, et omnes fortes exercitus, decem millia, in captivitatem: et omnem artificem et inclusorem: nihilque relictum est, exceptis pauperibus populi terrae.

And he led away as exiles all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, ten thousand exiles, and all the craftsmen and locksmiths: there was none left, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

15 Transtulit quoque Ioachin in Babylonem, et matrem regis, et uxores regis, et eunuchos eius: et iudices terrae duxit in captivitatem de Ierusalem in Babylonem.

And he led away Jehoyachin as exile to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his court-officers, and the mighty men of the land, he led into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.

16 Et omnes viros robustos, septem millia, et artifices, et inclusores mille, omnes viros fortes et bellatores: duxitque eos rex Babylonis captivos in Babylonem.

And all the men of might, seven thousand [in number], and the craftsmen and the locksmiths a thousand [in number], all strong men, apt for war; and the king of Babylon brought them into exile to Babylon.

17 Et constituit Matthaniam patruum eius pro eo: imposuitque nomen ei Sedechiam.

And the king of Babylon made Mattanyah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

18 Vigesimum et primum annum aetatis habebat Sedecias cum regnare coepisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius erat Amital, filia Ieremiae de Lobna.

Twenty and one years old was Zedekiah when he became king, and eleven years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Chamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

19 Et fecit malum coram Domino, iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioakin.

And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as Jehoyakim had done.

20 Irascebatur enim Dominus contra Ierusalem et contra Iudam, donec proiiceret eos a facie sua: recessitque Sedechias a rege Babylonis.

For through the anger of the Lord it occurred in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
