2 Reyes 24
1 Durante el reinado de Joaquim, Nabucodonosor, tipo de Babilonia, invadió el país y Joaquim se sometió a él. Pero después de tres años Joaquim se rebeló contra Nabucodonosor.
In his days, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up and Jehoiakim was his servant for three years; then he took up arms against him.
2 Entonces el Señor envió bandas de asaltantes contra Judá para destruirlos. Vinieron de Babilonia, Harán, Moab y Amón, tal como el Señor había dicho por medio de sus siervos los profetas.
And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldaeans and of the Edomites and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon; sending them against Judah for its destruction, as he had said by his servants the prophets.
3 El Señor habló contra Judá para desterrarlos de su presencia a causa de todos los pecados que Manasés había cometido y de la gente inocente que había matado,
Only by the word of the Lord did this fate come on Judah, to take them away from before his face; because of the sins of Manasseh and all the evil he did;
4 llenando Jerusalén con su sangre. El Señor no estaba dispuesto a perdonar esto.
And because of the death of those who had done no wrong, for he made Jerusalem full of the blood of the upright; and the Lord had no forgiveness for it.
5 El resto de lo que sucedió en el reinado de Joaquim, y todo lo que hizo, está registrado en el Libro de las Crónicas de los Reyes de Judá.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
6 Joaquim murió, y su hijo Joaquim lo sucedió como rey.
So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
7 El rey de Egipto no volvió a salir de su país, pues el rey de Babilonia se había apoderado de todo el territorio que le pertenecía, desde el Wadi de Egipto hasta el río Éufrates.
And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all his country, from the stream of Egypt to the river Euphrates.
8 Joaquim tenía dieciocho años cuando llegó a ser rey, y reinó en Jerusalén durante tres meses. Su madre era Nejustá, hija de Elnatán. Ella era de Jerusalén.
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months, and his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Joaquim hizo lo malo a los ojos del Señor, tal como lo había hecho su padre.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done.
10 En aquel tiempo los oficiales de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, atacaron Jerusalén y la sitiaron.
At that time the armies of Nebuchadnezzar came up to Jerusalem and the town was shut in on every side.
11 Entonces Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino en persona mientras sus oficiales estaban sitiando la ciudad.
And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came there, while his servants were shutting in the town;
12 Joaquim, rey de Israel, se rindió al rey de Babilonia, junto con su madre, sus oficiales, sus comandantes y sus funcionarios. Fue en el octavo año de su reinado cuando Nabucodonosor capturó a Joaquim.
Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, with his mother and his servants and his chiefs and his unsexed servants; and in the eighth year of his rule the king of Babylon took him.
13 Nabucodonosor tomó todos los tesoros del Templo del Señor y del palacio real, y cortó todos los objetos de oro que Salomón, rey de Israel, había hecho para el Templo del Señor, como el Señor había dicho que sucedería.
And he took away all the stored wealth of the Lord's house, and the goods from the king's store-house, cutting up all the gold vessels which Solomon, king of Israel, had made in the house of the Lord, as the Lord had said.
14 Deportó a toda Jerusalén, a todos los comandantes y a los soldados experimentados, a todos los artesanos y a los trabajadores del metal, un total de diez mil prisioneros. Sólo quedó la gente muy pobre del país.
And he took away all the people of Jerusalem and all the chiefs and all the men of war, ten thousand prisoners; and all the expert workmen and the metal-workers; only the poorest sort of the people of the land were not taken away.
15 Se llevó a Joaquim al exilio en Babilonia, así como a la madre del rey y a las esposas del rey y a sus funcionarios y a los principales hombres del país, a todos los deportó de Jerusalén a Babilonia.
He took Jehoiachin a prisoner to Babylon, with his mother and his wives and his unsexed servants and the great men of the land; he took them all as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 El rey de Babilonia también deportó a Babilonia a los siete mil hombres de combate y a los mil artesanos y metalúrgicos, todos ellos fuertes y preparados para la batalla.
And all the men of war, seven thousand of them, and a thousand expert workmen and metal-workers, all of them strong and able to take up arms, the king of Babylon took away as prisoners into Babylon.
17 El rey de Babilonia nombró rey a Matanías, tío de Joaquim, en su lugar, y le cambió el nombre por el de Sedequías.
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his father's brother, king in place of Jehoiachin, changing his name to Zedekiah.
18 Sedequías tenía veintiún años cuando llegó a ser rey, y reinó en Jerusalén durante once años. Su madre se llamaba Jamutal, hija de Jeremías.
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he was king in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Sus hechos fueron malos a los ojos del Señor, tal como los de Joaquim.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Todo esto sucedió en Jerusalén y en Judá, a causa de la ira del Señor, hasta que finalmente los desterró de su presencia. Sedequías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia.
And because of the wrath of the Lord, this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them all away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.
