NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 In diebus eius ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et factus est ei Ioachim servus tribus annis et rursum rebellavit contra eum.	1 During his days, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. And again he rebelled against him.
2 Immisitque ei Dominus turmas Chaldaeorum et turmas Syriae, turmas Moab et turmas filiorum Ammon; et immisit eas in Iudam, ut disperderent eum iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus erat per servos suos prophetas.	2 And the Lord sent to him the robbers of the Chaldeans, and the robbers of Syria, and the robbers of Moab, and the robbers of the sons of Ammon. And he sent them into Judah, so that they might destroy it, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken through his servants, the prophets.
3 Factum est autem hoc propter iram Domini contra Iudam, ut auferret eum de conspectu suo propter peccata Manasse universa, quae fecit,	3 Then this occurred, by the word of the Lord against Judah, that he took him away from before himself because of all the sins of Manasseh which he did,
4 et propter sanguinem innoxium, quem effudit et implevit Ierusalem cruore innocentium; et ob hanc rem noluit Dominus propitiari.	4 and because of the innocent blood which he shed, and because he filled Jerusalem with the slaughter of the innocent. And for this reason, the Lord was not willing to be appeased.
5 Reliqua autem gestorum Ioachim et universa, quae fecit, nonne haec scripta sunt in libro annalium regum Iudae? Et dormivit Ioachim cum patribus suis;	5 But the rest of the words of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And Jehoiakim slept with his fathers.
6 regnavitque Ioachin filius eius pro eo.	6 And Jehoiachin, his son, reigned in his place.
7 Et ultra non addidit rex Aegypti ut egrederetur de terra sua; tulerat enim rex Babylonis a rivo Aegypti usque ad fluvium Euphraten omnia, quae fuerant regis Aegypti.	7 And the king of Egypt no longer continued to go out from his own land. For the king of Babylon had taken all that had belonged to the king of Egypt, from the river of Egypt as far as the river Euphrates.
8 Decem et octo annorum erat Ioachin, cum regnare coepisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius Naestha filia Elnathan de Ierusalem.	8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for three months in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan, from Jerusalem.
9 Et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia, quae fecerat pater eius.	9 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that his father had done.
10 In tempore illo ascenderunt servi Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis in Ierusalem, et venit urbs in obsidione.	10 At that time, the servants of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, ascended against Jerusalem. And the city was encircled with fortifications.
11 Venitque Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad civitatem, cum servi eius oppugnarent eam;	11 And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, went to the city, with his servants, so that he might fight against it.
12 egressusque est Ioachin rex Iudae ad regem Babylonis ipse et mater eius et servi eius et principes eius et eunuchi eius; et cepit eum rex Babylonis anno octavo regni sui.	12 And Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his leaders, and his eunuchs. And the king of Babylon received him, in the eighth year of his reign.
13 Et protulit inde omnes thesauros domus Domini et thesauros domus regiae et concidit universa vasa aurea, quae fecerat Salomon rex Israel in templo Domini, iuxta verbum Domini.	13 And he took from there all the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he cut up all the gold vessels which Solomon, the king of Israel, had made for the temple of the Lord, in accord with the word of the Lord.
14 Et transtulit omnem Ierusalem et universos principes et omnes fortes exercitus decem milia in captivitatem et omnem artificem et clusorem; nihilque relictum est, exceptis pauperibus populi terrae.	14 And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.
15 Transtulit quoque Ioachin in Babylonem; et matrem regis et uxores regis et eunuchos eius et cives validos terrae duxit in captivitatem de Ierusalem in Babylonem	15 Also, he carried away Jehoiachin into Babylon, and the mother of the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs. And he led into captivity the judges of the land, from Jerusalem to Babylon,
16 et omnes viros robustos septem milia et artifices et clusores mille, omnes viros fortes bellatores; duxitque eos rex Babylonis captivos in Babylonem.	16 and all the robust men, seven thousand, and the artisans and craftsman, one thousand: all who were strong men and fit for war. And the king of Babylon led them away as captives, into Babylon.
17 Et constituit Matthaniam patruum eius pro eo; imposuitque nomen ei Sedeciam.	17 And he appointed Mattaniah, his uncle, in his place. And he imposed the name Zedekiah upon him.
18 Vicesimum et primum annum aetatis habebat Sedecias, cum regnare coepisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Ierusalem. Nomen matris eius erat Amital filia Ieremiae de Lobna.	18 Zedekiah held twenty-one years of life when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for eleven years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
19 Et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia, quae fecerat Ioachim;	19 And he did evil before the Lord, in accord with all that Jehoiakim had done.
20 irascebatur enim Dominus contra Ierusalem et contra Iudam, donec proiceret eos a facie sua. Recessitque Sedecias a rege Babylonis.	20 For the Lord was angry against Jerusalem and against Judah, until he cast them away from his face. And so Zedekiah withdrew from the king of Babylon.
