Ii Regum 24
1 in diebus eius ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis et factus est ei Ioiachim 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 inmisitque ei Dominus latrunculos Chaldeorum et latrunculos Syriae latrunculos Moab et latrunculos filiorum Ammon et inmisit eos in Iudam ut disperderent eum iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus erat per servos suos prophetas
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 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 Hierusalem 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 Ioiachim et universa quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda et dormivit Ioiachim 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 regnavitque Ioiachin 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 Eufraten omnia quae fuerant regis Aegypti
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 decem et octo annorum erat Ioiachin cum regnare coepisset et tribus mensibus regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Naestha filia Helnathan de Hierusalem
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 et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat pater eius
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
10 in tempore illo ascenderunt servi Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis in Hierusalem 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 servi eius obpugnarent eam
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
12 egressusque est Ioiachin 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, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured 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 Israhel in templo Domini iuxta verbum Domini
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 et transtulit omnem Hierusalem et universos principes et omnes fortes exercitus decem milia in captivitatem et omnem artificem et clusorem nihilque relictum est exceptis pauperibus populi terrae
He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
15 transtulit quoque Ioiachin in Babylonem et matrem regis et uxores regis et eunuchos eius et iudices terrae duxit in captivitatem de Hierusalem in Babylonem
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 et omnes viros robustos septem milia et artifices et clusores 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 fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 et constituit Matthaniam patruum eius pro eo inposuitque nomen ei Sedeciam
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 vicesimum et primum annum aetatis habebat Sedecias cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius erat Amithal filia Hieremiae de Lobna
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 et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioiachim
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 irascebatur enim Dominus contra Hierusalem et contra Iudam donec proiceret eos a facie sua recessitque Sedecias a rege Babylonis
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.
