2 Kings 24
1 In his days, came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, —and Jehoiakim became his servant three years, then turned he and rebelled against him.
In diebus eius ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et factus est ei Ioakim servus tribus annis: et rursum rebellavit contra eum.
2 And Yahweh sent against him troops of Chaldeans, and troops of Syrians, and troops of Moabites, and troops of the sons of Ammon, yea he sent them against Judah, to destroy him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servants the prophets.
Immisitque ei Dominus latrunculos Chaldæorum, et latrunculos Syriæ, et latrunculos Moab, et latrunculos filiorum Ammon: et immisit eos in Iudam, ut disperderent eum, iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus fuerat per servos suos prophetas.
3 Surely, it was, because of the anger of Yahweh, that this came upon Judah, to remove them from his presence, —for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done:
Factum est autem hoc per verbum Domini contra Iudam, ut auferret eum coram se propter peccata Manasse universa quæ fecit,
4 moreover also, for the innocent blood that he had shed, so that he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, —which Yahweh was not willing to pardon.
et propter sanguinem innoxium, quem effudit, et implevit Ierusalem cruore innocentium: et ob hanc rem noluit Dominus propitiari.
5 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Reliqua autem sermonum Ioakim, et universa quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in Libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda? Et dormivit Ioakim cum patribus suis:
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, —and, Jehoiachin his son, reigned, in his stead.
et regnavit Ioachin filius eius pro eo.
7 And the king of Egypt came no more again out of his land, —for the king of Babylon had taken—from the ravine of Egypt, unto the river Euphrates, all that had belonged to the king of Egypt.
Et ultra non addidit rex Ægypti, ut egrederetur de terra sua: tulerat enim rex Babylonis a rivo Ægypti usque ad fluvium Euphraten, omnia quæ fuerant regis Ægypti.
8 Eighteen years old, was Jehoiachin when he began to reign, and, three months, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan, of Jerusalem.
Decem et octo annorum erat Ioachin cum regnare cœpisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius Nohesta filia Elnathan de Ierusalem.
9 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, his father, had done.
Et fecit malum coram Domino, iuxta omnia quæ fecerat pater eius.
10 At that time, came up the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem, —and the city came into the siege.
In tempore illo ascenderunt servi Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis in Ierusalem, et circumdata est urbs munitionibus.
11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants were about to besiege it.
Venitque Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad civitatem cum servis suis ut oppugnarent eam.
12 Then came out Jehoiachin king of Judah, unto the king of Babylon, he and his mother, and his servants, and his generals, and his courtiers, —and the king of Babylon took him, in the eighth year of his reign.
Egressusque est Ioachin rex Iuda ad regem Babylonis, ipse et mater eius, et servi eius, et principes eius, et eunuchi eius: et suscepit eum rex Babylonis anno octavo regni sui.
13 And he carried forth from thence, all the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, —and he cut off all the fittings of gold, which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Yahweh, according to all that, Yahweh, had spoken.
Et protulit inde omnes thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros domus regiæ: et concidit universa vasa aurea, quæ fecerat Salomon rex Israel in templo Domini iuxta verbum Domini.
14 And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the generals, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand becoming captives, and all the artificers and the smiths, —none remained save the poorest of the people of the land.
Et transtulit omnem Ierusalem, et universos principes, et omnes fortes exercitus, decem millia, in captivitatem: et omnem artificem et clusorem: nihilque relictum est, exceptis pauperibus populi terræ.
15 And he carried away captive Jehoiachin, to Babylon, —and, the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his courtiers, and the nobles of the land, took he away captive, from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Transtulit quoque Ioachin in Babylonem, et matrem regis, et uxores regis, et eunuchos eius: et iudices terræ duxit in captivitatem de Ierusalem in Babylonem.
16 And, all the men of might—seven thousand, and artificers and smiths—a thousand, all who were valiant and ready to make war, the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.
Et omnes viros robustos, septem millia, et artifices, et clusores mille, omnes viros fortes et bellatores: duxitque eos rex Babylonis captivos in Babylonem.
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, his relative, king in his stead, —and changed his name to Zedekiah.
Et constituit Matthaniam patruum eius pro eo: imposuitque nomen ei Sedeciam.
18 Twenty-one years old, was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and, eleven years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Vigesimum et primum annum ætatis habebat Sedecias cum regnare cœpisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem: nomen matris eius erat Amital, filia Ieremiæ de Lobna.
19 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, Jehoiakim, had done.
Et fecit malum coram Domino, iuxta omnia quæ fecerat Ioakim.
20 For, it was because the anger of Yahweh had come against Jerusalem, and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled, against the king of Babylon.
Irascebatur enim Dominus contra Ierusalem et contra Iudam, donec proiiceret eos a facie sua: recessitque Sedecias a rege Babylonis.
