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 came up Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and Jehoyakim became his servant for three years: and then he returned and rebelled 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 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 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,
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 llenando Jerusalén con su sangre. El Señor no estaba dispuesto a perdonar esto.
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 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 Jehoyakim, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
6 Joaquim murió, y su hijo Joaquim lo sucedió como rey.
And Jehoyakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoyachin his son became king in his stead.
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 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 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.
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 Joaquim hizo lo malo a los ojos del Señor, tal como lo había hecho su padre.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as that his father had done.
10 En aquel tiempo los oficiales de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, atacaron Jerusalén y la sitiaron.
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 Entonces Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino en persona mientras sus oficiales estaban sitiando la ciudad.
And Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon came against the city, while his servants were besieging it.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 Mattanyah his uncle king in his stead, and changed 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.
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 Sus hechos fueron malos a los ojos del Señor, tal como los de Joaquim.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, all just as Jehoyakim 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.
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.
