2 Kings 24

1 During Jehoiakim’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded. So Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years, until he turned and rebelled against Nebuchadnezzar.

1 约雅敬执政期间，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒进犯，约雅敬臣服于他，三年后又背叛了他。

2 And the LORD sent Chaldean, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiders against Jehoiakim in order to destroy Judah, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servants the prophets.

2 耶和华差遣迦勒底、亚兰、摩押和亚扪军队来攻打约雅敬，毁灭犹大，正如祂借着祂的仆人——众先知所说的。

3 Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command, to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done,

3 这些灾祸临到犹大是出自耶和华的命令。耶和华要把犹大人从自己面前赶走，是因为玛拿西所犯的一切罪，

4 and also for the innocent blood he had shed. For he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD was unwilling to forgive.

4 包括他滥杀无辜，使耶路撒冷血流遍地，耶和华不会赦免这些罪行。

5 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

5 约雅敬其他的事及一切所为都记在《犹大列王史》上。

6 And Jehoiakim rested with his fathers, and his son Jehoiachin reigned in his place.

6 约雅敬与祖先同眠后，他儿子约雅斤继位。

7 Now the king of Egypt did not march out of his land again, because the king of Babylon had taken all his territory, from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.

7 埃及王不再迈出国境，因为巴比伦王夺取了从埃及小河至幼发拉底河之间的埃及领土。

8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan; she was from Jerusalem.

8 约雅斤十八岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政三个月。他母亲叫尼护施她，是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿。

9 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his father had done.

9 他像他父亲一样做耶和华视为恶的事。

10 At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched up to Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.

10 那时，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒派将领围攻耶路撒冷城。

11 And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it.

11 围城期间，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒亲自来到耶路撒冷。

12 Jehoiachin king of Judah, his mother, his servants, his commanders, and his officials all surrendered to the king of Babylon. So in the eighth year of his reign, the king of Babylon took him captive.

12 犹大王约雅斤及其母亲、臣仆和文官武将向尼布甲尼撒投降。巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒在他执政第八年俘虏了约雅斤，

13 As the LORD had declared, Nebuchadnezzar also carried off all the treasures from the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he cut into pieces all the gold articles that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD.

13 拿走了耶和华殿里和王宫里的宝物，砍坏以色列王所罗门为耶和华的殿所造的一切金器，正如耶和华所言。

14 He carried into exile all Jerusalem—all the commanders and mighty men of valor, all the craftsmen and metalsmiths—ten thousand captives in all. Only the poorest people of the land remained.

14 他又掳走住在耶路撒冷的所有将领、勇士、工匠和铁匠共一万人，只留下了境内最贫穷的人。

15 Nebuchadnezzar carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, as well as the king’s mother, his wives, his officials, and the leading men of the land. He took them into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.

15 他把约雅斤及其母亲、妃嫔、臣仆和国中政要从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦。

16 The king of Babylon also brought into exile to Babylon all seven thousand men of valor and a thousand craftsmen and metalsmiths—all strong and fit for battle.

16 此外被掳到巴比伦的还有能征善战的勇士七千人，工匠和铁匠一千人。

17 Then the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place and changed his name to Zedekiah.

17 巴比伦王让约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅接替约雅斤做王，给玛探雅改名叫西底迦。

18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.

18 西底迦二十一岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政十一年。他母亲叫哈慕她，是立拿人耶利米的女儿。

19 And Zedekiah did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.

19 西底迦像约雅敬一样做耶和华视为恶的事。

20 For because of the anger of the LORD, all this happened in Jerusalem and Judah, until He finally banished them from His presence. And Zedekiah also rebelled against the king of Babylon.

20 因此，耶和华向耶路撒冷和犹大的人发怒，最终把他们从祂面前赶走。 后来，西底迦背叛了巴比伦王。
