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.

Sedecias was one and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and the name of his mother was Amital, the daughter of Jeremias of Lobna.

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

And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.

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

For the wrath of the Lord was against Jerusalem, and against Juda, till he cast them out from his presence: and Sedecias revolted from 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, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and they besieged it, and built forts 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 Sedecias.

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

And in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a famine overpowered the city: and there was no food 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 up, and the men of war fled, and went out of the city in the night by the way of the gate that is between the two walls, and leadeth to the king’s garden, (the Chaldeans besieging the city round about, ) sad they went by the way that leadeth to the wilderness.

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

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king: and they overtook Sedecias in the desert which is near Jericho: and all his companions were scattered from him.

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

And when they had taken the king, they carried him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.

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

And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias before his eyes: and he slew all the princes of Juda in Reblatha.

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 Sedecias, and bound him with fetters, and the king of Babylon brought him into Babylon, and he 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, the tenth day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan the general of the army, who stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem.

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

And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house he burnt 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 general broke down all the wall 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.

But Nabuzardan the general carried away captives some of the poor people, and of the rest of the common sort who remained in the city, and of the fugitives that were fled over to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.

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

But of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some 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.

The Chaldeans also broke in pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass that was in the house of the Lord: and they carried all the brass of them to Babylon.

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

And they took the caldrons, and the fleshhooks, and the psalteries, and the bowls, and the little mortars, and all the brazen vessels that had been used in the ministry: and

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

The general took away the pitchers, and the censers, and the pots, and the basins, and the candlesticks, and the mortars, and the cups: as many as were of gold, in gold: and as many as were of silver, in silver:

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.

And the two pillars, and one sea, and twelve oxen of brass that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all these vessels.

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

And concerning the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a cord of twelve cubits compassed it about: but the thickness thereof was four fingers, and it was hollow within.

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 chapiters of brass were upon both: and the height of one chapiter was five cubits: and network, and pomegranates were upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The same of 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 hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.

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

And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.

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.

He also took out of the city one eunuch that was chief over the men of war: and seven men of them that were near the king’s person, that were found in the city: and a scribe, an officer of the army who exercised the young soldiers: and threescore 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 Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.

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

And the king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death in Reblatha, in the land of Emath: and Juda 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 Nabuchodonosor 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 Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.

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 three and twentieth year of Nabuchodonosor, Nabuzardan the general carried away of the Jews seven hundred and forty-five souls. So all the souls 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 seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month, the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda, and brought him forth out of prison.

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

And he spoke kindly to him, and he set his throne above the thrones 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 always 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 for his diet a continual provision was allowed him by the king of Babylon, every day a portion, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
