列王纪下 24
1 约雅敬年间，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒上到 犹大；约雅敬服事他三年，然后背叛他。
In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
2 耶和华使迦勒底军、亚兰军、摩押军，和亚扪人的军来攻击约雅敬，毁灭犹大，正如耶和华借他仆人众先知所说的。
The LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, bands of the Syrians, bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke by his servants the prophets.
3 这祸临到犹大人，诚然是耶和华所命的，要将他们从自己面前赶出，是因玛拿西所犯的一切罪；
Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came on Judah, to remove them out of his sight for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4 又因他流无辜人的血，充满了耶路撒冷；耶和华决不肯赦免。
and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon.
5 约雅敬其余的事，凡他所行的都写在犹大列王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6 约雅敬与他列祖同睡。他儿子约雅斤接续他作王。
So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
7 埃及王不再从他国中出来；因为巴比伦王将埃及王所管之地，从埃及小河直到幼发拉底河都夺去了。
The king of Egypt did not come out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that belonged to the king of Egypt.
8 约雅斤登基的时候年十八岁，在耶路撒冷作王三个月。他母亲名叫尼护施她，是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿。
Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 约雅斤行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，效法他父亲一切所行的。
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his father had done.
10 那时，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的军兵上到耶路撒冷，围困城。
At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11 当他军兵围困城的时候，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒就亲自来了。
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it,
12 犹大王约雅斤和他母亲、臣仆、首领、太监一同出城，投降巴比伦王；巴比伦王便拿住他。那时是巴比伦王第八年。
and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon—he, his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon captured him in the eighth year of his reign.
13 巴比伦王将耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物都拿去了，将以色列王所罗门所造耶和华殿里的金器都毁坏了，正如耶和华所说的；
He carried out from there all the treasures of the LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the LORD’s temple, as the LORD had said.
14 又将耶路撒冷的众民和众首领，并所有大能的勇士，共一万人，连一切木匠、铁匠都掳了去；除了国中极贫穷的人以外，没有剩下的；
He carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. No one remained except the poorest people of the land.
15 并将约雅斤和王母、后妃、太监，与国中的大官，都从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦去了；
He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, with the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land. He carried them into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
16 又将一切勇士七千人和木匠、铁匠一千人，都是能上阵的勇士，全掳到巴比伦去了。
All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and fit for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17 巴比伦王立 约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅代替他作王，给玛探雅改名叫西底家。
The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 西底家登基的时候年二十一岁，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母亲名叫哈慕她，是立拿人耶利米的女儿。
Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 西底家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，是照约雅敬一切所行的。
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 因此耶和华的怒气在耶路撒冷和犹大发作，以致将人民从自己面前赶出。
For through the anger of the LORD, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Then Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
