2 Reyes 24
1 En su tiempo subió Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, y Joacim fue su vasallo durante tres años. Luego cambió de parecer y se rebeló contra él.
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 Yavé envió contra él tropas de caldeos, sirios, moabitas y amonitas. Las envió contra Judá para destruirla, según la Palabra que Yavé habló por medio de sus esclavos 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 Ciertamente por mandato de Yavé sucedió esto contra Judá para quitarla de su Presencia por los pecados de Manasés, en conformidad con todo lo que él hizo,
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 y también por la sangre inocente que derramó, pues llenó a Jerusalén de sangre inocente. Por tanto, Yavé no quiso perdonar.
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 Todo lo que hizo Joacim, ¿no está escrito en el rollo 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 Joacim reposó con sus antepasados, y reinó en su lugar su hijo Joaquín.
So Jehoiakim went to rest with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.
7 El rey de Egipto nunca volvió a salir de su tierra, pues el rey de Babilonia conquistó todo lo que era del rey de Egipto, desde el río 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 Joaquín tenía 18 años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó en Jerusalén tres meses. El nombre de su madre fue Nehusta, hija de Elnatán 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 Hizo lo malo ante Yavé, conforme a todo lo que hizo su padre.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father had done.
10 En aquel tiempo los esclavos de Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, subieron contra Jerusalén, y la ciudad fue sitiada.
At that time the armies of Nebuchadnezzar came up to Jerusalem and the town was shut in on every side.
11 También Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino contra la ciudad cuando sus esclavos la sitiaban.
And Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came there, while his servants were shutting in the town;
12 Joaquín, rey de Judá, salió al rey de Babilonia con su madre, sus esclavos, sus jefes y sus funcionarios. Así que el año octavo de su reinado, el rey de Babilonia lo tomó cautivo.
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 Sacó de allí todos los tesoros de la Casa de Yavé y los tesoros de la casa real. Destrozó todos los utensilios de oro que Salomón, rey de Israel, hizo para el Santuario de Yavé, tal como habló Yavé.
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 Llevó en cautiverio a toda Jerusalén, todos los gobernantes y todos los hombres valientes: 10.000 cautivos y a todos los artesanos y herreros. No quedaron sino los más pobres de la tierra.
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 También llevó cautivo a Babilonia a Joaquín, la madre del rey, las mujeres del rey, sus funcionarios y los nobles del país. Los llevó cautivos 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 llevó cautivos a todos los 7.000 hombres de guerra, a los artesanos y herreros, que fueron 1.000, y todos valientes guerreros.
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 colocó a Matanías, tío de Joaquín, como rey en lugar de Joaquín y le cambió el nombre por Sedequías.
And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his father's brother, king in place of Jehoiachin, changing his name to Zedekiah.
18 Cuando Sedequías comenzó a reinar tenía 21 años, y reinó 11 años en Jerusalén. El nombre de su madre fue Hamutal, hija de Jeremías de Libna.
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 Hizo lo malo ante Yavé, conforme a todo lo que hizo Joacim,
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done.
20 porque Sedequías se rebeló contra el rey de Babilonia por causa de la ira que Yavé tenía contra Jerusalén y Judá para echarlas de su Presencia.
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.
