< 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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned 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.
The LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Arameans, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by 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,
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 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 shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and 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 Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 et regnavit Ioachin filius eius pro eo.
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
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.
The king of Egypt did not come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the Wadi of Egypt to the river Perath, all that 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.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Et fecit malum coram Domino, iuxta omnia quae fecerat pater eius.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all 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 king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 Venitque Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad civitatem cum servis suis ut oppugnarent eam.
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to 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 Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his officers, and his officers. And the king of Babylon took him 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.
He carried out there 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 king of Israel had made in the LORD's temple, as the LORD had said.
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.
He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the officials, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, except 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.
He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity 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.
All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 Et constituit Matthaniam patruum eius pro eo: imposuitque nomen ei Sedechiam.
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king is his place, 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.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Et fecit malum coram Domino, iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioakin.
He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim 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 happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
