1Em seu tempo subiu Nabucodonosor, rei de Babilônia, ao qual Jeoaquim serviu por três anos; depois voltou-se contra e se rebelou contra ele. 2O SENHOR, porém, enviou contra ele tropas de caldeus, e tropas de sírios, e tropas de moabitas, e tropas de amonitas; os quais enviou contra Judá para que a destruíssem, conforme a palavra do SENHOR que havia falado por meio dos seus servos, os profetas. 3Certamente foi por ordem do SENHOR que veio isto contra Judá, para tirá-la de sua presença, pelos pecados de Manassés, conforme tudo o que ele fez; 4Também pelo sangue inocente que derramou, pois encheu Jerusalém de sangue inocente; o SENHOR, portanto, não quis perdoar. 5Os demais dos feitos de Jeoaquim, e todas as coisas que fez, não estão escritos no livro das crônicas dos reis de Judá? 6E descansou Jeoaquim com seus pais, e reinou em seu lugar seu filho Joaquim. 7E nunca mais o rei do Egito saiu de sua terra; porque o rei da Babilônia lhe tomou tudo o que era seu, desde o rio do Egito até o rio de Eufrates. 8Tinha Joaquim dezoito anos quando começou a reinar, e reinou em Jerusalém três meses. O nome de sua mãe foi Neusta filha de Elnatã, de Jerusalém. 9E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme todas as coisas que seu pai havia feito. 10Naquele tempo subiram os servos de Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia contra Jerusalém e a cidade foi cercada. 11Veio também Nabucodonosor rei da Babilônia contra a cidade, quando seus servos a tinham cercado. 12Então saiu Joaquim rei de Judá, para render-se ao rei da Babilônia, ele, e sua mãe, e seus servos, e seus príncipes, e seus eunucos; e o rei da Babilônia o prendeu no oitavo ano de seu reinado. 13E tirou dali todos os tesouros da casa do SENHOR, e os tesouros da casa real, e despedaçou todos os utensílios de ouro que havia feito Salomão rei de Israel na casa do SENHOR, como o SENHOR havia dito. 14E levou em cativeiro toda Jerusalém, todos os príncipes, e todos os homens valentes, até dez mil cativos, e todos os artesãos e ferreiros; que não restou ninguém, exceto os pobres do povo da terra. 15Também levou cativo Joaquim à Babilônia, assim como a mãe do rei, as mulheres do rei, os seus eunucos, e os poderosos do país; cativos os levou de Jerusalém à Babilônia. 16A todos os homens de guerra, que foram sete mil, e aos oficiais e ferreiros, que foram mil, e a todos os valentes para fazer a guerra, levou cativos o rei da Babilônia. 17E o rei da Babilônia pôs como rei em lugar de Joaquim a Matanias, tio dele, e mudou-lhe o nome para Zedequias. 18De vinte e um anos era Zedequias quando começou a reinar, e reinou em Jerusalém onze anos. O nome de sua mãe foi Hamutal filha de Jeremias, de Libna. 19E fez o que era mau aos olhos do SENHOR, conforme a tudo o que havia feito Jeoaquim. 20Assim aconteceu por causa da ira do SENHOR contra Jerusalém e Judá, até que os expulsou de sua presença. E Zedequias se rebelou contra o rei da Babilônia.
1In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him. 2Yahweh sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by his servants the prophets. 3Surely at the commandment of Yahweh came this on Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did, 4and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh would not pardon. 5Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 6So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. 7The king of Egypt didn’t come again out of his land any more; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt. 8Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months: and his mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. 9He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that his father had done. 10At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. 11Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city, while his servants were besieging it; 12and Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign. 13He carried out there all the treasures of Yahweh’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 Yahweh’s temple, as Yahweh had said. 14He 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 sort of the people of the land. 15He carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king’s mother, and the king’s wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. 16All the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths one thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon. 17The king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s father’s brother, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah. 18Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 19He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 20For through the anger of Yahweh, this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
1In zijn dagen toog Nebukadnezar, de koning van Babel, op, en Jojakim werd zijn knecht drie jaren; daarna keerde hij zich om, en rebelleerde tegen hem. 2En de HEERE zond tegen hem de benden der Chaldeen, en de benden der Syriers, en de benden der Moabieten, en de benden der kinderen Ammons, en zond hen tegen Juda, om dat te verderven, naar het woord des HEEREN, dat Hij gesproken had door den dienst Zijner knechten, de profeten. 3Zekerlijk geschiedde dit naar het bevel des HEEREN tegen Juda, dat Hij hen van Zijn aangezicht wegdeed, om de zonden van Manasse, naar alles, wat hij gedaan had; 4Als ook om het onschuldig bloed, dat hij vergoten had, zodat hij Jeruzalem met onschuldig bloed vervuld had; daarom wilde de HEERE niet vergeven. 5Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Jojakim, en al wat hij gedaan heeft, is dat niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Juda? 6En Jojakim ontsliep met zijn vaderen; en zijn zoon Jojachin werd koning in zijn plaats. 7De koning nu van Egypte toog voortaan niet meer uit zijn land; want de koning van Babel had, van de rivier van Egypte af tot aan de rivier Frath, ingenomen al wat van den koning van Egypte was. 8Jojachin was achttien jaren oud, toen hij koning werd, en regeerde drie maanden te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Nehusta, een dochter van Elnathan, van Jeruzalem. 9En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, naar alles, wat zijn vader gedaan had. 10Te dier tijd togen de knechten van Nebukadnezar, den koning van Babel, naar Jeruzalem; en de stad werd belegerd. 11Zelfs kwam Nebukadnezar, de koning van Babel, tegen de stad, als zijn knechten die belegerden. 12Toen ging Jojachin, de koning van Juda, uit tot den koning van Babel, hij, en zijn moeder, en zijn knechten, en zijn vorsten, en zijn hovelingen; en de koning van Babel nam hem gevangen in het achtste jaar zijner regering. 13En hij bracht van daar uit al de schatten van het huis des HEEREN, en de schatten van het huis des konings; en hij hieuw alle gouden vaten af, die Salomo, de koning van Israel, in den tempel des HEEREN gemaakt had, gelijk als de HEERE gesproken had. 14En hij voerde gans Jeruzalem weg, mitsgaders al de vorsten, en alle strijdbare helden, tien duizend gevangen, en alle timmerlieden en smeden; niemand werd overgelaten, dan het arme volk des lands. 15Zo voerde hij Jojachin weg naar Babel, mitsgaders des konings moeder, en des konings vrouwen, en zijn hovelingen; daartoe de machtigen des lands bracht hij gevankelijk van Jeruzalem naar Babel; 16En alle kloeke mannen tot zeven duizend, en timmerlieden en smeden tot een duizend, en alle helden, die ten oorlog geoefend waren; dezen bracht de koning van Babel gevankelijk naar Babel. 17En de koning van Babel maakte Mattanja, deszelfs oom, koning in plaats van hem, en veranderde zijn naam in Zedekia. 18Zedekia was een en twintig jaren oud, als hij koning werd, en hij regeerde elf jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Hamutal, een dochter van Jeremia, van Libna. 19En hij deed dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, naar alles, wat Jojakim gedaan had. 20Want het geschiedde, om den toorn des HEEREN tegen Jeruzalem en tegen Juda, totdat Hij hen van Zijn aangezicht weggeworpen had. En Zedekia rebelleerde tegen den koning van Babel.
