ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Δ´ - 2 Re - Kings IV 24

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
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.	1 In his times, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for threeyears, but then rebelled against him a second time.
2 Και 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.	2 So he sent armed bands of Chaldaeans, Aramaeans, Moabites and Ammonites against him; he sentthese against Judah to destroy it, in accordance with the word which Yahweh had spoken through his servantsthe prophets.
3 Τω 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?	3 It was entirely due to Yahweh's anger that this happened to Judah; he had resolved to thrust themaway from him because of Manasseh's sins and al that he had done,
4 και ετι δια το αθωον αιμα το οποιον εχυσε, διοτι εγεμισε την Ιερουσαλημ αιμα αθωον? και δεν ηθελησεν ο Κυριος να συγχωρηση αυτον.	4 and also because of the innocent blood which he had shed, flooding Jerusalem with innocent blood.Yahweh would not forgive.
5 Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Ιωακειμ και παντα οσα επραξε, δεν ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω των χρονικων των βασιλεων του Ιουδα;	5 The rest of the history of Jehoiakim, his entire career, is this not recorded in the Book of the Annals ofthe Kings of Judah?
6 Και εκοιμηθη ο Ιωακειμ μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εβασιλευσεν αντ' αυτου Ιωαχειν ο υιος αυτου.	6 Then Jehoiakim fell asleep with his ancestors; his son Jehoiachin succeeded him.
7 Ο 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.	7 The king of Egypt did not leave his own country again, because the king of Babylon had conqueredeverywhere belonging to the king of Egypt, from the Torrent of Egypt to the River Euphrates.
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.	8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for three months inJerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν ο πατηρ αυτου.	9 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh, just as his father had done.
10 Κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον ανεβησαν οι δουλοι του Ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος επι την Ιερουσαλημ και επολιορκησαν την πολιν.	10 At that time the troops of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon advanced on Jerusalem, and the city wasbesieged.
11 Και ηλθε Ναβουχοδονοσορ ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος κατα της πολεως, και οι δουλοι αυτου επολιορκουν αυτην.	11 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon advanced on the city and his generals laid siege to it.
12 Και 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.	12 Jehoiachin king of Judah-he, his mother, his retinue, his nobles and his officials -- then surrendered tothe king of Babylon, and the king of Babylon took them prisoner in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Και 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.	13 The latter carried off al the treasures of the Temple of Yahweh and the treasures of the palace andbroke up al the golden furnishings which Solomon king of Israel had made for the sanctuary of Yahweh, asYahweh had foretold.
14 Και 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.	14 He carried al Jerusalem off into exile, all the nobles and al the notables, ten thousand of these wereexiled, with al the blacksmiths and metalworkers; only the poorest people in the country were left behind.
15 Και 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?	15 He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, as also the king's mother, his officials and the nobility of thecountry; he made them al leave Jerusalem for exile in Babylon.
16 και 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.	16 Al the men of distinction, seven thousand of them, the blacksmiths and metalworkers, one thousandof them, al the men capable of bearing arms, were led off into exile in Babylon by the king of Babylon.
17 Και εκαμεν ο βασιλευς της Βαβυλωνος βασιλεα, αντ' αυτου, Ματθανιαν τον αδελφον του πατρος αυτου, και μετηλλαξε το ονομα αυτου εις Σεδεκιαν.	17 The king of Babylon deposed Jehoiachin in favour of his paternal uncle Mattaniah, whose name hechanged to Zedekiah.
18 Ενος 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.	18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he came to the throne, and he reigned for eleven years inJerusalem. His mother's name was Hamital daughter of Jeremiah, of Libnah.
19 Και επραξε πονηρα ενωπιον του Κυριου, κατα παντα οσα επραξεν ο Ιωακειμ?	19 He did what is displeasing to Yahweh, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 διοτι 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.	20 It was entirely due to Yahweh's anger that this happened to Jerusalem and Judah. It resulted in hiscasting them from his presence. Zedekiah rebel ed against the king of Babylon.
