2 Mga Hari 24
1 Sa panahon ng paghahari ni Jehoiakim, nilusob ni Nebucadnezar hari ng Babilonia ang Juda; naging lingkod niya si Jehoiakim sa loob ng tatlong taon. Pagkatapos nagtaksil si Jehoiakim at naghimagsik laban kay Nebucadnezar.
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 Nagpadala si Yahweh laban kay Jehoiakim ng mga pangkat ng mga Caldean, Aramean, Moabita, at Ammonita; ipinadala niya sila laban sa Juda para wasakin ito. Ito ay naaayon sa salita ni Yahweh na sinabi sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang mga lingkod na mga propeta.
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 Tiyak na nangyari ito sa Juda sa utos ni Yahweh, para alisin sila mula sa kaniyang paningin, dahil sa mga kasalanan ni Manases, lahat ng kaniyang mga ginawa,
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 at dahil din sa mga inosenteng dugo na kaniyang pinadanak, dahil pinuno niya ang Jerusalem ng inosenteng dugo. Hindi mapapatawad ni Yahweh ang mga iyon.
Manasseh had even caused many innocent people in Jerusalem to be killed, and Yahweh would not forgive that.
5 Sa ibang mga bagay patungkol kay Johoiakim, at lahat ng kaniyang ginawa, hindi ba nasusulat ang mga iyon sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa Buhay ng mga Hari ng Juda?
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 Humimlay si Johoiakim kasama ng kaniyang mga ninuno, at ang kaniyang anak na si Jehoiakin ang naging hari kapalit niya.
When Jehoiakim died, his son Jehoiachin became the king.
7 Hindi na muling sumalakay ang hari ng Ehipto sa labas ng kaniyang lupain, dahil sinakop na ng hari ng Babilonia ang lahat ng mga lupain na hawak ng hari ng Ehipto, mula sa batis ng Ehipto hanggang sa Ilog Eufrates.
[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 Si Johoiakin ay labing walong taong gulang nang nagsimula siyang maghari; naghari siya sa Jerusalem sa loob ng tatlong buwan. Ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Nehusta. Siya ay ang anak na babae ni Elnatan ng Jerusalem.
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 Ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh - ginawa niya lahat ng nagawa ng kaniyang ama.
Jehoiachin did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as his father had done.
10 Nang panahong iyon sinalakay ng hukbo ni Nebucadnezar hari ng Babilonia ang Jerusalem at pinaligiran ang lungsod.
[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 Dumating sa lungsod si Nebucadnezar hari ng Babilonia habang pinaliligiran ito ng kaniyang mga kawal,
While they were doing that, Nebuchadnezzar himself came to the city.
12 at si Jehoiakin ang hari ng Juda ay lumabas patungo sa hari ng Babilonia, siya, ang kaniyang ina, mga lingkod, prinsipe, at opisyal. Binihag siya ng hari ng Babilonia sa ika-walong taon ng kaniyang paghahari.
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 Kinuha mula roon ni Nebucadnezar ang lahat ng mga mahahalagang bagay sa tahanan ni Yahweh, at ang mga nasa palasyo ng hari. Pinira-piraso niya ang lahat ng mga gintong bagay na ginawa ni Solomon hari ng Israel sa templo ni Yahweh, gaya ng sinabi ni Yahweh na mangyayari.
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 Dinala niyang bihag ang lahat ng Jerusalem, mga pinuno at mga mandirigma, sampung libong mga bihag, at lahat ng mga mahuhusay na manggagawa at mga panday. Walang naiwan kung hindi ang mga pinakamahihirap na mga tao sa lupain.
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 Itinapon ni Nebucadnezar si Jehoiakin sa Babilonia, pati na ang ina ng hari, mga asawa, opisyal, at ang pangunahing mga lalaki ng lupain. Ipinatapon niya sila sa Babilonia mula sa Jerusalem.
Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers also took to Babylon Jehoiachin’s wives and officials, his mother, and [all] the important people.
16 Lahat ng mga kawal, pitong libo ang bilang, at isang libong mahuhusay na mangagawa at mga panday, lahat sa kanila may kakayahang lumaban - itinapon ng hari ng Babilonia ang mga lalaking ito sa Babilonia.
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 Ginawa ng hari ng Babilonia si Matanias, ang kapatid na lalaki ng ama ni Jehoiakin, na hari kapalit niya, at pinalitan sa Zedekias ang kaniyang pangalan.
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 Si Zedekias ay dalawampu't isang taong gulang nang nagsimula siyang maghari; naghari siya nang labing isang taon sa Jerusalem. Ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Hamutal; siya ay anak ni Jeremias na taga-Libna.
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 Ginawa niya kung ano ang masama sa paningin ni Yahweh - ginawa niya ang lahat ng bagay na nagawa ni Jehoiakim.
But Zedekiah did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Dahil sa galit ni Yahweh, nangyari sa Jerusalem at Juda ang lahat ng mga kaganapang ito, hanggang sa mapalayas niya sila mula sa kaniyang presensya. Pagkatapos naghimagsik si Zedekias laban sa hari ng Babilonia.
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.
