إِرْمِيَا 52

١ 1 كَانَ صِدْقِيَّا ٱبْنَ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حِينَ مَلَكَ، وَمَلَكَ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ سَنَةً فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَٱسْمُ أُمِّهِ حَمِيطَلُ بِنْتُ إِرْمِيَا مِنْ لِبْنَةَ.

Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal, daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

٢ 2 وَعَمِلَ ٱلشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ يَهُويَاقِيمُ.

And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّهُ لِأَجْلِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَيَهُوذَا حَتَّى طَرَحَهُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِ وَجْهِهِ، كَانَ أَنَّ صِدْقِيَّا تَمَرَّدَ عَلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ.

For, because the anger of Jehovah was against Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

٤ 4 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلتَّاسِعَةِ لِمُلْكِهِ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْعَاشِرِ، فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، جَاءَ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ هُوَ وَكُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ وَنَزَلُوا عَلَيْهَا وَبَنَوْا عَلَيْهَا أَبْرَاجًا حَوَالَيْهَا.

And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem; and they encamped against it, and built turrets against it round about.

٥ 5 فَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ فِي ٱلْحِصَارِ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْحَادِيَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ صِدْقِيَّا.

And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

٦ 6 فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلرَّابِعِ، فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱشْتَدَّ ٱلْجُوعُ فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ خُبْزٌ لِشَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

In the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.

٧ 7 فَثُغِرَتِ ٱلْمَدِينَةُ وَهَرَبَ كُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْقِتَالِ، وَخَرَجُوا مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ لَيْلًا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَابِ بَيْنَ ٱلسُّورَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ عِنْدَ جَنَّةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ حَوَالَيْهَا، فَذَهَبُوا فِي طَرِيقِ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ.

And the city was broken into: and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were near the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.

٨ 8 فَتَبِعَتْ جُيُوشُ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْمَلِكَ، فَأَدْرَكُوا صِدْقِيَّا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ أَرِيحَا، وَتَفَرَّقَ كُلُّ جَيْشِهِ عَنْهُ.

And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

٩ 9 فَأَخَذُوا ٱلْمَلِكَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ بِٱلْقَضَاءِ عَلَيْهِ.

And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he pronounced judgment upon him.

١٠ 10 فَقَتَلَ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ بَنِي صِدْقِيَّا أَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ، وَقَتَلَ أَيْضًا كُلَّ رُؤَسَاءِ يَهُوذَا فِي رَبْلَةَ،

And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes; and he slaughtered also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.

١١ 11 وَأَعْمَى عَيْنَيْ صِدْقِيَّا، وَقَيَّدَهُ بِسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، وَجَاءَ بِهِ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى بَابِلَ، وَجَعَلَهُ فِي ٱلسِّجْنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ.

And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass; and the king of Babylon carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

١٢ 12 وَفِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْخَامِسِ، فِي عَاشِرِ ٱلشَّهْرِ، وَهِيَ ٱلسَّنَةُ ٱلتَّاسِعَةُ عَشَرَةَ لِلْمَلِكِ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، جَاءَ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَقِفُ أَمَامَ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ،

And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;

١٣ 13 وَأَحْرَقَ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَبَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَكُلَّ بُيُوتِ ٱلْعُظَمَاءِ، أَحْرَقَهَا بِٱلنَّارِ.

and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.

١٤ 14 وَكُلَّ أَسْوَارِ أُورُشَلِيمَ مُسْتَدِيرًا هَدَمَهَا كُلُّ جَيْشِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلَّذِي مَعَ رَئِيسِ ٱلشُّرَطِ.

And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the body-guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

١٥ 15 وَسَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ، رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، بَعْضًا مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، وَبَقِيَّةَ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَقُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَٱلْهَارِبِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ سَقَطُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، وَبَقِيَّةَ ٱلْجُمْهُورِ.

And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the poorest sort of the people, and the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

١٦ 16 وَلَكِنَّ نَبُوزَرَادَانَ، رَئِيسَ ٱلشُّرَطِ، أَبْقَى مِنْ مَسَاكِينِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كَرَّامِينَ وَفَلَّاحِينَ.

But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.

١٧ 17 وَكَسَّرَ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيُّونَ أَعْمِدَةَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْقَوَاعِدَ وَبَحْرَ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّذِي فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَحَمَلُوا كُلَّ نُحَاسِهَا إِلَى بَابِلَ.

And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke up, and carried all the brass thereof to Babylon.

١٨ 18 وَأَخَذُوا ٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلرُّفُوشَ وَٱلْمَقَاصَّ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَكُلَّ آنِيَةِ ٱلنُّحَاسِ ٱلَّتِي كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بِهَا.

The pots also, and the shovels, and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, they took away.

١٩ 19 وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ ٱلطُّسُوسَ وَٱلْمَجَامِرَ وَٱلْمَنَاضِحَ وَٱلْقُدُورَ وَٱلْمَنَايِرَ وَٱلصُّحُونَ وَٱلْأَقْدَاحَ، مَا كَانَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَٱلذَّهَبَ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَٱلْفِضَّةَ.

And the basons and the censers, and the bowls, and the pots, and the candlesticks, and the cups, and the goblets, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.

٢٠ 20 وَٱلْعَمُودَيْنِ وَٱلْبَحْرَ ٱلْوَاحِدَ، وَٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ ثَوْرًا مِنْ نُحَاسٍ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ ٱلْقَوَاعِدِ، ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ سُلَيْمَانُ لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ يَكُنْ وَزْنٌ لِنُحَاسِ كُلِّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَدَوَاتِ.

The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen that formed the bases, which king Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.

٢١ 21 أَمَّا ٱلْعَمُودَانِ فَكَانَ طُولُ ٱلْعَمُودِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ ثَمَانِيَ عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا، وَخَيْطٌ ٱثْنَتَا عَشَرَةَ ذِرَاعًا يُحِيطُ بِهِ، وَغِلَظُهُ أَرْبَعُ أَصَابِعَ، وَهُوَ أَجْوَفُ.

And as to the pillars: the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a line of twelve cubits encompassed it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.

٢٢ 22 وَعَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ، ٱرْتِفَاعُ ٱلتَّاجِ ٱلْوَاحِدِ خَمْسُ أَذْرُعٍ. وَعَلَى ٱلتَّاجِ حَوَالَيْهِ شَبَكَةٌ وَرُمَّانَاتُ، ٱلْكُلِّ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ. وَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ لِلْعَمُودِ ٱلثَّانِي، وَٱلرُّمَّانَاتِ.

And the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the one capital [was] five cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass; and similarly for the second pillar, and the pomegranates.

٢٣ 23 وَكَانَتِ ٱلرُّمَّانَاتُ سِتًّا وَتِسْعِينَ لِلْجَانِبِ. كُلُّ ٱلرُّمَّانَاتِ مِئَةٌ عَلَى ٱلشَّبَكَةِ حَوَالَيْهَا.

And there were ninety-six pomegranates on the [four] sides; all the pomegranates upon the network were a hundred round about.

٢٤ 24 وَأَخَذَ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ سَرَايَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلْأَوَّلَ، وَصَفَنْيَا ٱلْكَاهِنَ ٱلثَّانِي وَحَارِسِي ٱلْبَابِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ.

And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.

٢٥ 25 وَأَخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ خَصِيًّا وَاحِدًا كَانَ وَكِيلًا عَلَى رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ، وَسَبْعَةَ رِجَالٍ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَنْظُرُونَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي ٱلْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَاتِبَ رَئِيسِ ٱلْجُنْدِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَ يَجْمَعُ شَعْبَ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِلتَّجَنُّدِ، وَسِتِّينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٱلَّذِينَ وُجِدُوا فِي وَسْطِ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ.

And out of the city he took a eunuch that was set over the men of war, and seven men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land. And sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the midst of the city.

٢٦ 26 أَخَذَهُمْ نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ، وَسَارَ بِهِمْ إِلَى مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، إِلَى رَبْلَةَ،

And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;

٢٧ 27 فَضَرَبَهُمْ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ وَقَتَلَهُمْ فِي رَبْلَةَ فِي أَرْضِ حَمَاةَ. فَسُبِيَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَرْضِهِ.

and the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

٢٨ 28 هَذَا هُوَ ٱلشَّعْبُ ٱلَّذِي سَبَاهُ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ: مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ ثَلَاثَةُ آلَافٍ وَثَلَاثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ.

This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand and twenty-three Jews;

٢٩ 29 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّامِنَةِ عَشَرَةَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ سُبِيَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ ثَمَانُ مِئَةٍ وَٱثْنَانِ وَثَلَاثُونَ نَفْسًا.

in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar [he carried away captive] from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons;

٣٠ 30 فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ لِنَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرَ، سَبَى نَبُوزَرَادَانُ رَئِيسُ ٱلشُّرَطِ مِنَ ٱلْيَهُودِ سَبْعَ مِئَةٍ وَخَمْسًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ نَفْسًا. جُمْلَةُ ٱلنُّفُوسِ أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافٍ وَسِتُّ مِئَةٍ.

in the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five persons: all the persons were four thousand six hundred.

٣١ 31 وَفِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلسَّابِعَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِسَبْيِ يَهُويَاكِينَ، فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّانِي عَشَرَ، فِي ٱلْخَامِسِ وَٱلْعِشْرِينَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، رَفَعَ أَوِيلُ مَرُودَخُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ، فِي سَنَةِ تَمَلُّكِهِ، رَأْسَ يَهُويَاكِينَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ.

And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison;

٣٢ 32 وَكَلَّمَهُ بِخَيْرٍ، وَجَعَلَ كُرْسِيَّهُ فَوْقَ كَرَاسِيِّ ٱلْمُلُوكِ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُ فِي بَابِلَ.

and he spoke kindly unto him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.

٣٣ 33 وَغَيَّرَ ثِيَابَ سِجْنِهِ، وَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ دَائِمًا ٱلْخُبْزَ أَمَامَهُ كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;

٣٤ 34 وَوَظِيفَتُهُ وَظِيفَةٌ دَائِمَةٌ تُعْطَى لَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِ مَلِكِ بَابِلَ، أَمْرَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِيَوْمِهِ، إِلَى يَوْمِ وَفَاتِهِ، كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِهِ.

and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
