列王紀下 25
1 漆德克雅為王九年十月十日，巴比倫王拿步高率領全軍前進攻耶路撒冷，紮營圍城，在城四周建築了壁壘，
And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem; and he encamped against it, and built a mound against it.
2 圍攻京城，直到漆德克雅為王十一年。
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedekias on the ninth day of the month.
3 是年四月九日，城中發生了嚴重的飢荒，當地人民已沒有食糧，
And the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
4 京城遂被攻破。加加丁人還在圍攻城時，君王和全體士兵，夜間出了靠近御園的雙牆城門，逃往阿辣巴。
And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went forth by night, by the way of the gate between the walls, this is [the gate] of the king's garden: and the Chaldeans [were set] against the city round about: and [the king] went by the way of the plain.
5 加色丁軍隊便追趕君王，在耶利哥曠野追上了；此時他的軍隊都已離開他散了。
And the force of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army was dispersed from about him.
6 加色丁軍隊擒獲了君王，帶他去黎貝拉去見巴比倫王。巴比倫王就宣判他的罪案，
And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha; and he gave judgment upon him.
7 且在漆德克雅眼前殺了他的兒子，也剜了他的眼，給他帶上鎖鏈，送往巴比倫去。
And he slew the sons of Sedekias before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters, and brought him to Babylon.
8 巴比倫王拿步高為王十九年五月七日，巴比倫王的大臣，衛隊長乃步匝辣當來到了耶路撒冷，
And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month (this [is] the nineteenth year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon), came Nabuzardan, captain of the guard, who stood before the king of Babylon, to Jerusalem.
9 燒毀了上主的殿、王宮和耶路撒冷所有的民房；凡是高大的建築都用火燒了。
And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every house did the captain of the guard burn.
10 跟隨衛長的所有加色丁軍隊，拆毀了耶路撒冷周圍是城牆。
And the force of the Chaldeans pulled down the wall of Jerusalem round about.
11 城中剩下的人民和已投降巴比倫王的人，以及其餘的平民，衛隊長乃步匝辣當都擄了去，
And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard removed the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the men who had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
12 只留下當地一部分最窮的平民作園丁和農夫。
But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vine-dressers and husbandmen.
13 加色丁人又將上主殿前的銅柱，和上主殿內的銅座、銅海都打碎，把銅運往巴比倫；
And the Chaldeans broke to pieces the brazen pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the Lord, and carried their brass to Babylon.
14 此外，鍋、鏟、蠟剪、香盤，以及行禮的一切銅器，全都帶走；
And the caldrons, and the shovels, and the bowls, and the censers, and all the brazen vessels with which they minister, he took.
15 提爐、杯爵，凡是純金純銀的，衛隊長都拿走了。
And the captain of the guard took the fire-pans, and the gold and silver bowls.
16 撒羅滿為上主的殿所製造的兩根柱子，一個銅海和一些盆座，這一切器皿所用的銅，重量無法估計。
Two pillars, and one sea, and the bases which Solomon made for the house of the Lord: there was no weight of the brass of all the vessels.
17 一根柱子高十八肘，上端有同柱頭，高五肘，柱頭四周有網子和石榴，全是銅的；另一根柱子，也有網子。
The height of one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was of brass: and the height of the chapiter was three cubits: the border, and the pomegranates on the chapiter round about were all of brass: and so it was with the second pillar with its border.
18 隊長又擒獲了大司祭色辣雅、副大司祭責法尺雅和三個門丁；
And the captain of the guard took Saraias the high-priest, and Sophonias the second in order, and the three doorkeepers.
19 由城中擄去了一個管理軍隊的宦官，五個在城內搜到的君王的親信，一個徵募當地人民的軍長的書記．和城中搜到的六十個當地平民。
And they took out of the city one eunuch who was commander of the men of war, and five men that saw the face of the king, that were found in the city, and the secretary of the commander-in-chief, who took account of the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city.
20 衛隊長乃步匝辣當捉住他們，帶到黎貝拉去見巴比倫王；
And Nabuzardan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
21 巴比倫王就在哈瑪特地的黎貝拉將他們殺了；從此，猶大人由本鄉被擄去充軍。
And the king of Babylon smote them and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Aemath. So Juda was carried away from his land.
22 巴比倫王拿步高對留在猶大地的人民，派定了沙番的孫子，阿希甘的兒子革達里雅作他們的首長。
And [as for] the people that were left in the land of Juda, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon left, even over them he set Godolias son of Achicam son of Saphan.
23 眾軍長和他們的士兵一聽說巴比倫王委派了革達里雅為首長，乃塔尺雅的兒子依市瑪耳，卡勒亞的兒子約哈南，乃托法人堂胡默特的兒子色辣雅，瑪阿加人的兒子雅匝尼雅和他們的士兵，都來到米茲帕見革達里雅。
And all the captains of the host, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had [thus] appointed Godolias, and they came to Godolias to Massephath, both Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Jona son of Careth, and Saraias, son of Thanamath the Netophathite, and Jezonias son of a Machathite, they and their men.
24 革達里雅遂對他們和他們的士兵起誓說：「你們不要害怕加色丁人的臣僕，安心住在此地，服事巴比倫王，就必能相安無事」。
And Godolias swore to them and their men, and said to them, Fear not the incursion of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
25 但是到了七月，王家的後裔厄里沙瑪的孫子，乃塔尼雅的兒子依市瑪耳帶了十個人前來，殺了革達里雅，和與他同在米茲帕的猶大人及加色丁人。
And it came to pass in the seventh month [that] Ismael son of Nathanias son of Helisama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and he smote Godolias, that he died, [him] and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him in Massepha.
26 於是所有的人民，不分貴賤大小和眾軍長，因為害怕加色丁人，都起身逃往埃及去了。
And all the people, great and small rose up, [they] and the captains of the forces, and went into Egypt; because they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
27 猶大王耶苛尼雅被擄後第三十七年十二月二十七日，巴比倫王厄威耳默洛達客在他登極元年，大赦猶大王耶苛尼雅，放他出獄，
And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the carrying away of Joachim king of Juda, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, [that] Evialmarodec king of Babylon in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Joachim king of Juda, and brought him out of his prison-house.
28 親切與他交談，令他坐在與他一同在巴比倫的眾王之上。
And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
29 耶苛尼雅脫去囚服，以後一生日日與王共進飲食。
And changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days of his life.
30 他的生活費用，在他有生之日，每天不斷由巴比倫王供應。
And his portion, a continual portion, was given him out of the house of the king, a daily rate for every day all the days of his life.
