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.
During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled 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 to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through 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,
Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which 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 innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
5 Todo lo que hizo Joacim, ¿no está escrito en el rollo de las Crónicas de los reyes de Judá?
But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
6 Joacim reposó con sus antepasados, y reinó en su lugar su hijo Joaquín.
And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned 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 no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as 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 had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9 Hizo lo malo ante Yavé, conforme a todo lo que hizo su padre.
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that 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 servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
11 También Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, vino contra la ciudad cuando sus esclavos la sitiaban.
And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
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.
And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
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 from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
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 carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
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.
Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, 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 robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, 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 he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
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 held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
19 Hizo lo malo ante Yavé, conforme a todo lo que hizo Joacim,
And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that 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.
For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
