The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 In his days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him.
1
in diebus eius ascendit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis et factus est ei Ioiachim servus tribus annis et rursum rebellavit contra eum
2 And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldeans and bands of the Syrians and bands of the Moabites and bands of the Ammonites, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord that he spoke by his servants the prophets.
2
inmisitque ei Dominus latrunculos Chaldeorum et latrunculos Syriae latrunculos Moab et latrunculos filiorum Ammon et inmisit eos in Iudam ut disperderent eum iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus erat per servos suos prophetas
3 Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the Lord, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done,
3
factum est autem hoc per verbum Domini contra Iudam ut auferret eum coram se propter peccata Manasse universa quae fecit
4 and also for the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the Lord would not pardon.
4
et propter sanguinem innoxium quem effudit et implevit Hierusalem cruore innocentium et ob hanc rem noluit Dominus propitiari
5 Now the rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
5
reliqua autem sermonum Ioiachim et universa quae fecit nonne haec scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Iuda et dormivit Ioiachim cum patribus suis
6 So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
6
regnavitque Ioiachin filius eius pro eo
7 And the king of Egypt did not come again out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

decem et octo annorum erat Ioiachin cum regnare coepisset et tribus mensibus regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Naestha filia Helnathan de Hierusalem

in tempore illo ascenderunt servi Nabuchodonosor regis Babylonis in Hierusalem et circumdata est urbs munitionibus

venitque Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad civitatem cum servi eius obpugnarent eam
12 and Jehoiachin the king of Judah gave himself up to the king of Babylon, himself and his mother and his servants and his officials and his palace officials. The king of Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign

egressusque est Ioiachin rex Iuda ad regem Babylonis ipse et mater eius et servi eius et principes eius et eunuchi eius et suscepit eum rex Babylonis anno octavo regni sui

et transtulit omnem Hierusalem et universos principes et omnes fortes exercitus decem milia in captivitatem et omnem artificem et clusorem nihilque relictum est exceptis pauperibus populi terrae
15 And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officials, and the chief men of the land he took into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
15
transtulit quoque Ioiachin in Babylonem et matrem regis et uxores regis et eunuchos eius et iudices terrae duxit in captivitatem de Hierusalem in Babylonem
16 And the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valor, ,000, and the craftsmen and the metal workers, 1,000, all of them strong and fit for war.
16
et omnes viros robustos septem milia et artifices et clusores mille omnes viros fortes et bellatores duxitque eos rex Babylonis captivos in Babylonem
17 And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
17
et constituit Matthaniam patruum eius pro eo inposuitque nomen ei Sedeciam
18 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
18
vicesimum et primum annum aetatis habebat Sedecias cum regnare coepisset et undecim annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius erat Amithal filia Hieremiae de Lobna
19 And he did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
19
et fecit malum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat Ioiachim
20 For because of the anger of the Lord it came to the point in Jerusalem and Judah that he cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
20
irascebatur enim Dominus contra Hierusalem et contra Iudam donec proiceret eos a facie sua recessitque Sedecias a rege Babylonis
