VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In diebus ejus ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et factus est ei Joakim servus tribus annis : et rursum rebellavit contra eum.	1 During his reign Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, moved against him, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then Jehoiakim turned and rebelled against him.
2 Immisitque ei Dominus latrunculos Chaldæorum, et latrunculos Syriæ, et latrunculos Moab, et latrunculos filiorum Ammon : et immisit eos in Judam ut disperderent eum, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus fuerat per servos suos prophetas.	2 The LORD loosed against him bands of Chaldeans, Arameans, Moabites, and Ammonites; he loosed them against Judah to destroy it, as the LORD had threatened through his servants the prophets.
3 Factum est autem hoc per verbum Domini contra Judam, ut auferret eum coram se propter peccata Manasse universa quæ fecit,	3 This befell Judah because the LORD had stated that he would inexorably put them out of his sight for the sins Manasseh had committed in all that he did;
4 et propter sanguinem innoxium quem effudit, et implevit Jerusalem cruore innocentium : et ob hanc rem noluit Dominus propitiari.	4 and especially because of the innocent blood he shed, with which he filled Jerusalem, the LORD would not forgive.
5 Reliqua autem sermonum Joakim, et universa quæ fecit, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Juda ? Et dormivit Joakim cum patribus suis :	5 The rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, with all that he did, are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
6 et regnavit Joachin filius ejus pro eo.	6 Jehoiakim rested with his ancestors, and his son Jehoiachin succeeded him as king.
7 Et ultra non addidit rex Ægypti ut egrederetur de terra sua : tulerat enim rex Babylonis, a rivo Ægypti usque ad fluvium Euphraten, omnia quæ fuerant regis Ægypti.	7 The king of Egypt did not again leave his own land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Wadi of Egypt to the Euphrates River.
8 Decem et octo annorum erat Joachin cum regnare cœpisset, et tribus mensibus regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus Nohesta filia Elnathan de Jerusalem.	8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
9 Et fecit malum coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat pater ejus.	9 He did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his forebears had done.
10 In tempore illo ascenderunt servi Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis in Jerusalem, et circumdata est urbs munitionibus.	10 At that time the officials of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, attacked Jerusalem, and the city came under siege.
11 Venitque Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad civitatem cum servis suis ut oppugnarent eam.	11 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, himself arrived at the city while his servants were besieging it.
12 Egressusque est Joachin rex Juda ad regem Babylonis, ipse et mater ejus, et servi ejus, et principes ejus, et eunuchi ejus : et suscepit eum rex Babylonis anno octavo regni sui.	12 Then Jehoiachin, king of Judah, together with his mother, his ministers, officers, and functionaries, surrendered to the king of Babylon, who, in the eighth year of his reign, took him captive.
13 Et protulit inde omnes thesauros domus Domini, et thesauros domus regiæ : et concidit universa vasa aurea quæ fecerat Salomon rex Israël in templo Domini juxta verbum Domini.	13 He carried off all the treasures of the temple of the LORD and those of the palace, and broke up all the gold utensils that Solomon, king of Israel, had provided in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had foretold.
14 Et transtulit omnem Jerusalem, et universos principes, et omnes fortes exercitus, decem millia, in captivitatem, et omnem artificem et clusorem : nihilque relictum est, exceptis pauperibus populi terræ.	14 He deported all Jerusalem: all the officers and men of the army, ten thousand in number, and all the craftsmen and smiths. None were left among the people of the land except the poor.
15 Transtulit quoque Joachin in Babylonem, et matrem regis, et uxores regis, et eunuchos ejus : et judices terræ duxit in captivitatem de Jerusalem in Babylonem.	15 He deported Jehoiachin to Babylon, and also led captive from Jerusalem to Babylon the king's mother and wives, his functionaries, and the chief men of the land.
16 Et omnes viros robustos, septem millia, et artifices, et clusores mille, omnes viros fortes et bellatores : duxitque eos rex Babylonis captivos in Babylonem.	16 The king of Babylon also led captive to Babylon all seven thousand men of the army, and a thousand craftsmen and smiths, all of them trained soldiers.
17 Et constituit Matthaniam patruum ejus pro eo : imposuitque nomen ei Sedeciam.	17 In place of Jehoiachin, the king of Babylon appointed his uncle Mattaniah king, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
18 Vigesimum et primum annum ætatis habebat Sedecias cum regnare cœpisset, et undecim annis regnavit in Jerusalem : nomen matris ejus erat Amital filia Jeremiæ de Lobna.	18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
19 Et fecit malum coram Domino, juxta omnia quæ fecerat Joakim.	19 He also did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as Jehoiakim had done.
20 Irascebatur enim Dominus contra Jerusalem et contra Judam, donec projiceret eos a facie sua : recessitque Sedecias a rege Babylonis.	20 The LORD'S anger befell Jerusalem and Judah till he cast them out from his presence. Thus Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
