Otra Ķēniņu 24
1 Viņa laikā Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, cēlās, un Jojaķims viņam bija par kalpu trīs gadus, tad viņš no tā atkal atkrita.
While Jehoiakim was ruling [Judah, the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded Judah. [They defeated the Judean army, and as a result, ] Jehoiakim was required to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to King Nebuchadnezzar. But after three years, Jehoiakim rebelled.
2 Un Tas Kungs sūtīja pret viņu Kaldeju pulkus un Sīriešu pulkus un Moaba pulkus un Amona bērnu pulkus un tos sūtīja pret Jūdu, to izdeldēt, pēc Tā Kunga vārda, ko Viņš bija runājis caur Saviem kalpiem, tiem praviešiem.
Then Yahweh sent raiders from Babylonia and Syria, and from the Moab and Ammon people-groups, to attack the people of Judah and get rid of them, just as Yahweh had told his prophets to warn the people would happen.
3 Tiešām, pēc Tā Kunga vārda Jūdam tā notika, ka Viņš to atmeta nost no Sava vaiga Manasus grēku dēļ ko šis bija darījis,
These things happened to the people of Judah according to what Yahweh commanded. [He had decided] to get rid of the people of Judah because of the many sins that King Manasseh [had committed].
4 Un to nenoziedzīgo asiņu dēļ, ko tas bija izlējis un Jeruzālemi piepildījis ar nenoziedzīgām asinīm; tāpēc Tas Kungs negribēja piedot.
Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
5 Un kas vēl par Jojaķimu stāstāms, un viss, ko viņš darījis, tas ir rakstīts Jūda ķēniņu laiku grāmatā.
The other things that happened while Jehoiakim was king, and all the things that he did, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
6 Un Jojaķims aizmiga saviem tēviem pakaļ, un viņa dēls Jojaķins palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
7 Un Ēģiptes ķēniņš neizgāja vairs no savas zemes, jo Bābeles ķēniņš bija visu uzņēmis, kas Ēģiptes ķēniņam piederēja no Ēģiptes upes līdz Eifrat upei.
[The army of] the king of Babylon [defeated the army of Egypt, and] took control of all the area that the Egyptians formerly controlled, from the brook [at the border] of Egypt [in the south] to the Euphrates River [in the north]. So [the army of] the king of Egypt did not return [to attack Judah] again.
8 Jojaķins bija astoņpadsmit gadus vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja trīs mēnešus Jeruzālemē. Un viņa mātei bija vārds Neūsta, Elnatana meita, no Jeruzālemes.
Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became the king of Judah. His mother’s name was Nehushta; she was the daughter of a man from Jerusalem named Elnathan. Jehoiachin ruled in Jerusalem for [only] three months.
9 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, tā kā viņa tēvs bija darījis.
Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
10 Tanī laikā Nebukadnecara, Bābeles ķēniņa, kalpi cēlās pret Jeruzālemi un apsēda to pilsētu.
[While Jehoiachin was king, ] some officers of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came [along with the whole Babylonian army] to Jerusalem, and they surrounded the city.
11 Un Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, pats nāca pret to pilsētu, kad viņa kalpi to spaidīja.
While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
12 Tad Jojaķins, Jūda ķēniņš, izgāja pie Bābeles ķēniņa ar savu māti un saviem kalpiem un saviem virsniekiem un kambarjunkuriem, un Bābeles ķēniņš to saņēma gūstā savas valdības astotā gadā.
Then King Jehoiachin and his mother and his advisors and important officers and palace officials all surrendered to the Babylonian army. These thngs happened when Nebuchadnezzar had been king for eight years. He arrested Jehoiachin and took him to Babylon.
13 Un viņš no turienes paņēma visas Tā Kunga nama mantas un visas ķēniņa nama mantas, un nolauzīja zeltu no visiem rīkiem, ko Salamans, Israēla ķēniņš, bija taisījis Tā Kunga namā, kā Tas Kungs bija runājis.
Just as Yahweh had said would happen, Nebuchadnezzar’s [soldiers] took [to Babylon] all the valuable things from Yahweh’s temple and from the king’s palace. They cut apart all the gold items that King Solomon had put in the temple.
14 Un viņš aizveda cietumā visu Jeruzālemi, visus virsniekus un visus varenos, desmit tūkstošus, un visus būvmeistarus un kalējus, nekas neatlika, kā tikai zemes nabaga ļaudis.
They took from Jerusalem [to Babylon] 10,000 people, including the important officials and the best soldiers and the people who made and repaired things that were made of metal. Only the very poor people were left in Judah.
15 Un viņš aizveda Jojaķinu uz Bābeli līdz ar ķēniņa māti un ķēniņa sievām un viņa kambarjunkuriem un zemes vareniem, tos viņš no Jeruzālemes noveda cietumā uz Bābeli.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
16 Un visus stipros vīrus, septiņus tūkstošus, un amatniekus un kalējus, kādu tūkstoti, kas visi bija stipri vīri karā, tos Bābeles ķēniņš noveda uz Bābeli cietumā.
They also took to Babylon 7,000 of the best soldiers and 1,000 men who knew how to make and repair things that are made from metal. All of these people whom they took were strong and able to fight in wars.
17 Un Bābeles ķēniņš cēla par ķēniņu viņa vietā Mataniju, viņa tēva brāli, un viņam deva vārdu Cedeķija.
Then the king of Babylon appointed Jehoiachin’s uncle, Mattaniah, to be the king [of Judah], and he changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
18 Cedeķija bija divdesmit vienu gadu vecs, kad palika par ķēniņu, un valdīja vienpadsmit gadus Jeruzālemē, un viņa mātei bija vārds Amitala, Jeremijas meita, no Libnas.
When Zedekiah was twenty-one years old, he became king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal; she was the daughter of a man named Jeremiah from Libnah [town].
19 Un viņš darīja, kas Tam Kungam nepatika, tāpat, kā Jojaķims bija darījis.
But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Bet tā notika caur Tā Kunga dusmību pret Jeruzālemi un Jūdu, tiekams Viņš tos bija atmetis nost no Sava vaiga. Un Cedeķija atkrita no Bābeles ķēniņa.
Yahweh was very angry. So (and finally/after he had been patient a long time) he expelled the people of Jerusalem and [the other places in] Judah and sent them to Babylon. [That is what happened when] Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
