列王纪下 24
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
24 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 耶和华差遣迦勒底人、亚兰人、摩押人和亚扪人来攻打约雅敬，毁灭犹大，正如祂借着祂的仆人——众先知所说的。 3 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 玛拿西滥杀无辜，使耶路撒冷血流遍地，耶和华不会赦免这些罪行。 5 约雅敬其他的事及其一切所作所为都记在犹大的列王史上。 6 约雅敬与祖先同眠后，他儿子约雅斤继位。 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。
约雅斤做犹大王
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 他像他父亲一样做耶和华视为恶的事。 10 那时，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒派将领围攻耶路撒冷。 11 围城期间，尼布甲尼撒亲自来到耶路撒冷。 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 拿走了耶和华殿里和王宫里的宝物，以及所罗门王为耶和华的殿所造的金器，正如耶和华所言。 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 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 此外被掳的还有能征善战的勇士七千人，工匠和铁匠一千人。
17 巴比伦王让约雅斤的叔叔玛探雅代替约雅斤做王，给玛探雅改名叫西底迦。
西底迦做犹大王
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 西底迦像约雅敬一样做耶和华视为恶的事。 20 因此，耶和华向耶路撒冷和犹大的人发怒，把他们从祂面前赶走。
耶路撒冷陷落
后来，西底迦背叛了巴比伦王。
2 Kings 24
Common English Bible
24 In Jehoiakim’s days, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon attacked. Jehoiakim had submitted to him for three years, but then Jehoiakim changed his mind and rebelled against him. 2 The Lord sent Chaldean, Aramean, Moabite, and Ammonite raiding parties against Jehoiakim, sending them against Judah in order to destroy it. This was in agreement with the word that the Lord had spoken through his servants the prophets. 3 Indeed, this happened to Judah because the Lord commanded them to be removed from his presence on account of all the sins that Manasseh had committed 4 and because of the innocent blood that he had spilled. Manasseh had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord didn’t want to forgive that.
5 The rest of Jehoiakim’s deeds and all that he accomplished, aren’t they written in the official records of Judah’s kings? 6 Jehoiakim lay down with his ancestors. His son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
7 The Egyptian king never left his country again because the Babylonian king had taken over all the territory that had previously belonged to him—from the border of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
Jehoiachin rules Judah
8 Jehoiachin was 18 years old when he became king, and he ruled for three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta; she was Elnathan’s daughter and was from Jerusalem. 9 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes, just as all his ancestors had done. 10 At that time, the officers of Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar attacked Jerusalem and laid siege to the city. 11 Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar himself arrived at the city while his officers were blockading it. 12 Judah’s King Jehoiachin, along with his mother, his servants, his officers, and his officials, came out to surrender to the Babylonian king. The Babylonian king took Jehoiachin prisoner in the eighth year of Jehoiachin’s rule.
13 Nebuchadnezzar also took away all the treasures of the Lord’s temple and of the royal palace. He cut into pieces all the gold objects that Israel’s King Solomon had made for the Lord’s temple, which is exactly what the Lord said would happen. 14 Then Nebuchadnezzar exiled all of Jerusalem: all the officials, all the military leaders—ten thousand exiles—as well as all the skilled workers and metalworkers. No one was left behind except the poorest of the land’s people. 15 Nebuchadnezzar exiled Jehoiachin to Babylon; he also exiled the queen mother, the king’s wives, the officials, and the land’s elite leaders from Jerusalem to Babylon. 16 The Babylonian king also exiled seven thousand warriors—each one a hero trained for battle—as well as a thousand skilled workers and metalworkers to Babylon. 17 Then the Babylonian king made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, succeed Jehoiachin as king. Nebuchadnezzar changed Mattaniah’s name to Zedekiah.
Zedekiah rules Judah
18 Zedekiah was 21 years old when he became king, and he ruled for eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal; she was Jeremiah’s daughter and was from Libnah. 19 He did what was evil in the Lord’s eyes, just as Jehoiakim had done. 20 It was precisely because the Lord was angry with Jerusalem and Judah that he thrust them out of his presence.
The southern kingdom falls
Now Zedekiah rebelled against the Babylonian king.
2 Mga Hari 24
Magandang Balita Biblia
24 Sa(A) panahon ng paghahari ni Jehoiakim, ang Juda ay sinakop ni Haring Nebucadnezar ng Babilonia. Tatlong taon siyang nagpasakop sa Babilonia at pagkatapos ay naghimagsik laban kay Nebucadnezar. 2 At tulad ng sinabi ni Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga propeta, ipinalusob niya ang mga taga-Juda sa mga taga-Babilonia, sa mga taga-Siria, sa mga Moabita at mga Ammonita. 3 Niloob ni Yahweh na mapalayas ang mga taga-Juda dahil sa kasamaang ginawa ni Manases, 4 at sa pagpatay nito sa napakaraming taóng walang kasalanan. Halos bumaha ng dugo sa buong Jerusalem, at dahil dito ay hindi siya mapatawad ni Yahweh.
5 Ang lahat ng ginawa ni Jehoiakim ay nakasulat sa Kasaysayan ng mga Hari ng Juda. 6 Nang siya'y mamatay, ang anak niyang si Jehoiakin ang humalili sa kanya bilang hari. 7 Hindi na muling lumabas ng kanyang bansa ang hari ng Egipto noon sapagkat lahat ng sakop niya ay sinakop na ng hari ng Babilonia, mula sa Batis ng Egipto hanggang sa Ilog Eufrates.
Ang Paghahari ni Jehoiakin sa Juda(B)
8 Si Jehoiakin ay labingwalong taóng gulang nang maghari sa Jerusalem at ito'y tumagal nang tatlong buwan. Ang kanyang ina ay si Nehusta na anak ni Elnatan na taga-Jerusalem. 9 Tulad ng kanyang ama, ginawa rin niya ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh.
10 Nang panahong iyon, ang Jerusalem ay kinubkob ng mga kawal ni Haring Nebucadnezar ng Babilonia. 11 Habang ang mga kawal ng Babilonia ay nakapaligid sa lunsod, dumating si Haring Nebucadnezar. 12 At(C) sumuko sa kanya si Haring Jehoiakin, pati ang ina nito, mga katulong, mga pinuno at lahat ng tauhan sa palasyo. Binihag sila ni Nebucadnezar noong ikawalong taon ng paghahari nito. 13 Sinamsam pa niyang lahat ang kayamanan sa palasyo at sa Templo. At tulad ng babala ni Yahweh, sinira ni Nebucadnezar ang mga kagamitang ginto na ipinagawa ni Solomon para sa Templo. 14 Dinala niyang bihag ang lahat ng taga-Jerusalem: ang mga pinuno, mga kawal, mga dalubhasa at mga panday. Lahat-lahat ay umabot sa sampung libo. Wala silang itinira liban sa mga dukha.
15 Tinangay(D) nga ni Nebucadnezar sa Babilonia si Jehoiakin, ang ina nito, mga asawa, mga pinuno at lahat ng pangunahing mamamayan sa Jerusalem. 16 Dinala rin niya sa Babilonia ang may pitong libong kawal at ang sanlibong mahuhusay na manggagawa at panday na pawang malalakas ang katawan at angkop maging mga kawal. 17 Si(E) Matanias na tiyuhin ni Jehoiakin ang ipinalit ni Nebucadnezar dito bilang hari ng Juda at pinalitan niya ng Zedekias ang pangalan nito.
Ang Paghahari ni Zedekias sa Juda(F)
18 Si(G) Zedekias ay dalawampu't isang taóng gulang nang maging hari ng Juda, at naghari siya sa Jerusalem sa loob ng labing-isang taon. Ang ina niya'y si Hamutal na anak ni Jeremias na taga-Libna. 19 Tulad ng masamang halimbawa ni Jehoiakim, ginawa rin ni Zedekias ang mga bagay na hindi kalugud-lugod kay Yahweh.
20 Umabot(H) na sa sukdulan ang galit ni Yahweh sa Jerusalem at Juda kaya ang mga ito'y ipinabihag niya sa mga kaaway.
