1في ايامه صعد نبوخدناصّر ملك بابل فكان له يهوياقيم عبدا ثلاث سنين ثم عاد فتمرد عليه.
1In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
2فارسل الرب عليه غزاة الكلدانيين وغزاة الاراميين وغزاة الموآبيين وغزاة بني عمون وارسلهم على يهوذا ليبيدها حسب كلام الرب الذي تكلم به عن يد عبيده الانبياء.
2And Jehovah 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 the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
3ان ذلك كان حسب كلام الرب على يهوذا لينزعهم من امامه لاجل خطايا منسّى حسب كل ما عمل.
3Surely at the commandment of Jehovah came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did,
4وكذلك لاجل الدم البريء الذي سفكه لانه ملأ اورشليم دما بريئا ولم يشإ الرب ان يغفر.
4and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Jehovah would not pardon.
5وبقية امور يهوياقيم وكل ما عمل أما هي مكتوبة في سفر اخبار الايام لملوك يهوذا.
5Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
6ثم اضطجع يهوياقيم مع آبائه وملك يهوياكين ابنه عوضا عنه.
6So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
7ولم يعد ايضا ملك مصر يخرج من ارضه لان ملك بابل اخذ من نهر مصر الى نهر الفرات كل ما كان لملك مصر
7And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
8كان يهوياكين ابن ثماني عشرة سنة حين ملك وملك ثلاثة اشهر في اورشليم. واسم امه نحوشتا بنت الناثان من اورشليم.
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.
9وعمل الشر في عيني الرب حسب كل ما عمل ابوه.
9And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.
10في ذلك الزمان صعد عبيد نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل الى اورشليم فدخلت المدينة تحت الحصار.
10At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
11وجاء نبوخذناصّر ملك بابل على المدينة وكان عبيده يحاصرونها.
11And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came unto the city, while his servants were besieging it;
12فخرج يهوياكين ملك يهوذا الى ملك بابل هو وامه وعبيده ورؤساؤه وخصيانه واخذه ملك بابل في السنة الثامنة من ملكه.
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.
13واخرج من هناك جميع خزائن بيت الرب وخزائن بيت الملك وكسر كل آنية الذهب التي عملها سليمان ملك اسرائيل في هيكل الرب كما تكلم الرب.
13And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of Jehovah, 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 temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.
14وسبى كل اورشليم وكل الرؤساء وجميع جبابرة البأس عشرة آلاف مسبيّ وجميع الصنّاع والاقيان. لم يبق احد الا مساكين شعب الارض.
14And 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; none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
15وسبى يهوياكين الى بابل وام الملك ونساء الملك وخصيانه واقوياء الارض سباهم من اورشليم الى بابل.
15And he 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.
16وجميع اصحاب البأس سبعة آلاف والصنّاع والاقيان الف وجميع الابطال اهل الحرب سباهم ملك بابل الى بابل.
16And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths a thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
17وملّك ملك بابل متّنيا عمه عوضا عنه وغيّر اسمه الى صدقيا
17And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, [Jehoiachin's] father's brother, king is his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18كان صدقيا ابن احدى وعشرين سنة حين ملك وملك احدى عشرة سنة في اورشليم واسم امه حميطل بنت ارميا من لبنة.
18Zedekiah was twenty and 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.
19وعمل الشر في عيني الرب حسب كل ما عمل يهوياقيم.
19And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
20لانه لاجل غضب الرب على اورشليم وعلى يهوذا حتى طرحهم من امام وجهه كان ان صدقيا تمرد على ملك بابل
20For through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
