¹In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim was his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.

¹[] Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου ανεβη Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, και ο Ιωακειμ εγεινε δουλος αυτου τρια ετη· επειτα εστραφη και απεστατησε κατ' αυτου.

²And Jehovah sent against him the bands of the Chaldeans, and the bands of the Syrians, and the bands of the Moabites, and the bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke through his servants the prophets.

²Και απεστειλεν ο Κυριος εναντιον αυτου τα ταγματα των Χαλδαιων και τα ταγματα των Συριων και τα ταγματα των Μωαβιτων και τα ταγματα των υιων Αμμων, και απεστειλεν αυτους εναντιον του Ιουδα, δια να καταστρεψωσιν αυτον· κατα τον λογον του Κυριου, τον οποιον ελαλησε δια χειρος των δουλων αυτου των προφητων.

³Verily, at the commandment of Jehovah it came to pass against Judah, that they should be removed out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done;

³Τω οντι κατα προσταγην του Κυριου εγεινε τουτο εις τον Ιουδαν, δια να αποβαλη αυτον απο προσωπου αυτου, δια τας αμαρτιας του Μανασση, κατα παντα οσα επραξε·

⁴and also [because of] the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.

⁴και ετι δια το αθωον αιμα το οποιον εχυσε, διοτι εγεμισε την Ιερουσαλημ αιμα αθωον· και δεν ηθελησεν ο Κυριος να συγχωρηση αυτον.

⁵And 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?

⁵Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Ιωακειμ και παντα οσα επραξε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;

⁶And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

⁶Και εκοιμηθη ο Ιωακειμ μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Ιωαχειν ο υιος αυτου.

⁷And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt, from the torrent of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

⁷Ο δε βασιλευς της Αιγυπτου δεν εξηλθε πλεον εκ της γης αυτου· διοτι ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος ελαβεν, απο του ποταμου της Αιγυπτου μεχρι του ποταμου Ευφρατου, παντα οσα ησαν του βασιλεως της Αιγυπτου.

⁸Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

⁸[] Δεκαοκτω ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Ιωαχειν, οτε εβασιλευσε· και εβασιλευσε τρεις μηνας εν Ιερουσαλημ· το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Νεουσθα, θυγατηρ του Ελναθαν εξ Ιερουσαλημ.

⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that his father had done.

⁹Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν ο πατηρ αυτου.

¹⁰At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

¹⁰Κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον ανεβησαν οι δουλοι του Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος επι την Ιερουσαλημ και επολιορκησαν την πολιν.

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

¹¹Και ηλθε Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος κατα της πολεως, και οι δουλοι αυτου επολιορκουν αυτην.

¹²And Jehoiachin king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his chamberlains; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

¹²Και εξηλθεν ο Ιωαχειν βασιλευς του Ιουδα προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος, αυτος και η μητηρ αυτου και οι δουλοι αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου και οι ευνουχοι αυτου· και συνελαβεν αυτον ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος, εν τω ογδοω ετει της βασιλειας αυτου.

¹³And he brought 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 that Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had said.

¹³Και εξηγαγεν εκειθεν παντας τους θησαυρους του οικου του Κυριου και τους θησαυρους του οικου του βασιλεως, και κατεκοψε παντα τα σκευη τα χρυσα, τα οποια εκαμε Σολομων ο βασιλευς του Ισραηλ εν τω ναω, του Κυριου, καθως ελαλησεν ο Κυριος.

¹⁴And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained but the poorest sort of the people of the land.

¹⁴Και μετωκισε πασαν την Ιερουσαλημ και παντας τους αρχοντας και παντας τους δυνατους πολεμιστας, δεκα χιλιαδας αιχμαλωτων, και παντας τους ξυλουργους και σιδηρουργους· δεν εμεινεν ειμη το πτωχοτερον μερος του λαου της γης.

¹⁵And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his chamberlains, and the mighty of the land, he led into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon;

¹⁵Και μετωκισε τον Ιωαχειν εις την Βαβυλωνα· και την μητερα του βασιλεως και τας γυναικας του βασιλεως και τους ευνουχους αυτου και τους δυνατους της γης εφερεν αιχμαλωτους εξ Ιερουσαλημ εις την Βαβυλωνα·

¹⁶and all the men of valour, seven thousand, and the craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all strong men apt for war, and the king of Babylon brought them captive to Babylon.

¹⁶και παντας τους πολεμιστας, επτα χιλιαδας, και τους ξυλουργους και τους σιδηρουργους, χιλιους, παντας δυνατους και επιτηδειους εις πολεμον· και μετωκισεν αυτους εις Βαβυλωνα ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος.

¹⁷And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his uncle king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

¹⁷Και εκαμεν ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος βασιλεα, αντ' αυτου, Ματθανιαν τον αδελφον του πατρος αυτου, και μετηλλαξε το ονομα αυτου εις Σεδεκιαν.

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, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

¹⁸Ενος και εικοσι ετων ηλικιας ητο ο Σεδεκιας, οτε εβασιλευσεν· εβασιλευσε δε ενδεκα ετη εν Ιερουσαλημ· το δε ονομα της μητρος αυτου ητο Αμουταλ, θυγατηρ του Ιερεμιου απο Λιβνα.

¹⁹And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

¹⁹Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν ο Ιωακειμ·

²⁰For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

²⁰διοτι εξ οργης του Κυριου κατα της Ιερουσαλημ και του Ιουδα, εωσου απερριψεν αυτους απο προσωπου αυτου, εγεινε να αποστατηση ο Σεδεκιας κατα του βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος.
