1约雅敬背叛巴比伦
1In his days hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up, and Jehoiakim is to him a servant three years; and he turneth and rebelleth against him,
2耶和华差派迦勒底的军队、亚兰的军队、摩押的军队和亚扪人的军队攻打他,他差他们攻击犹大,毁灭它,就像耶和华借着他的仆人众先知预言的话。
2and Jehovah sendeth against him the troops of the Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sendeth them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servants the prophets;
3这事临到犹大完全是出于耶和华的命令,因着玛拿西的罪,就是他所行的一切,要把他们从自己面前赶走;
3only, by the command of Jehovah it hath been against Judah to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4又因着他所流无辜人的血,他使耶路撒冷满了无辜人的血,耶和华决不赦免。
4and also the innocent blood that he hath shed, and he filleth Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah was not willing to forgive.
5约雅敬其余的事迹和他所行的一切,不是都记在犹大列王的年代志上吗?
5And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6约雅敬和他的祖先一同长眠,他的儿子约雅斤接续他作王。
6And Jehoiakim lieth with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigneth in his stead.
7埃及王不再从本国出征,因为巴比伦王占据了所有从前属于埃及王的领土,从埃及小河直到幼发拉底河。
7And the king of Egypt hath not added any more to go out from his own land, for the king of Babylon hath taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Phrat, all that had been to the king of Egypt.
8约雅斤作犹大王(代下36:9)约雅斤登基的时候是十八岁,他在耶路撒冷作王三个月;他母亲名叫尼护施他,是耶路撒冷人以利拿单的女儿。
8A son of eighteen years [is] Jehoiachin in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem,
9他行耶和华看为恶的事,好像他的祖先一切所行的。
9and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
10巴比伦王上来围攻耶路撒冷那时,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒的臣仆来到耶路撒冷,城就被围困。
10At that time come up have servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city goeth into siege,
11尼布甲尼撒的臣仆正在围城的时候,巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒亲自来到耶路撒冷。
11and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon cometh against the city, and his servants are laying siege to it,
12犹大王约雅斤和他的母亲、众臣仆、众领袖,以及众太监,出城投降巴比伦王。巴比伦王于是捉住他。那时,是巴比伦王在位第八年。
12and Jehoiachin king of Judah goeth out unto the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs, and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon taketh him in the eighth year of his reign,
13约雅斤与臣民被掳到巴比伦(代下36:10)他又从耶路撒冷把耶和华殿一切宝物和王宫的宝物取去,并且把以色列王所罗门在耶和华殿所做的一切金器都捣毁,就像耶和华所说的。
13and bringeth out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and cutteth in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of Israel made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had spoken.
14他又掳去耶路撒冷的众民、众领袖,以及英勇的战士共一万人,还有工匠、铁匠;除了国民中最贫穷的以外,没有剩下的。
14And he hath removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and all the mighty ones of valour — ten thousand [is] the removal — and every artificer and smith, none hath been left save the poor of the people of the land.
15他把约雅斤掳到巴比伦去,又把太后、后妃、太监和国中的要员都从耶路撒冷掳到巴比伦;
15And he removeth Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the mighty ones of the land — he hath caused a removal to go from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16还有七千位战士,一千位工匠和铁匠,全都是能作战的勇士,巴比伦王把他们都掳到巴比伦去。
16and all the men of valour seven thousand, and the artificers and the smiths a thousand, the whole [are] mighty men, warriors; and the king of Babylon bringeth them in a captivity to Babylon.
17巴比伦王立西底家作王(代下36:10-16;耶52:1-3)巴比伦王立约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅接续他作王,并且把玛探雅的名字改为西底家。
17And the king of Babylon causeth Mattaniah his father`s brother to reign in his stead, and turneth his name to Zedekiah.
18西底家登基的时候是二十一岁,他在耶路撒冷作王十一年;他母亲名叫哈慕他,是立拿人耶利米的女儿。
18A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,
19他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,像约雅敬一切所行的。
19and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah according to all that Jehoiakim did,
20因为耶和华的怒气向耶路撒冷和犹大发作,直到他把他们从自己的面前赶走。后来,西底家背叛了巴比伦王。
20for, by the anger of Jehovah it hath been against Jerusalem and against Judah, till he cast them out from His presence, that Zedekiah rebelleth against the king of Babylon.
