耶利米書 52
1 漆德克雅登極時，年二十一歲，在耶路撒泠為王十一年，他的母親名叫哈慕塔耳，是里貝納人耶勒米雅的女兒。
Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Hamutal, the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah.
2 他行了上主視為惡的事，全像約雅金所行的一樣，
And he did euil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done.
3 因此上主對耶路撒泠和猶大大發忿怒，由自己面前將他們拋棄。以後漆德克雅背叛了巴比倫王。
Doubtlesse because the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah, till he had cast them out from his presence, therefore Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel.
4 漆德克雅為王九年十月十日，巴比倫王拿步高率領全軍來進攻耶路撒泠，紮營圍城，在城四周建築了壁壘，
But in the ninth yeere of his reigne, in the tenth moneth the tenth day of the moneth came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, he and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and buylt fortes against it round about.
5 圍攻京城，直至漆德克雅為王十一年。
So the citie was besieged vnto the eleuenth yeere of the King Zedekiah.
6 是年四月九日，城中發生了嚴重的饑荒，當地人民已沒有糧食，
Now in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the famine was sore in ye citie, so that there was no more bread for ye people of the land.
7 京城遂被攻破，加色丁人還在圍攻京城時，君王和全體士兵，黑夜出了靠近御苑的雙牆城門，逃往阿辣巴。
Then the citie was broken vp and all the men of warre fled, and went out of the citie by night, by the way of the gate betweene the two walles, which was by the kings garden: (now the Caldeans were by the citie round about) and they went by the way of the wildernes.
8 加色丁軍隊便追趕君王，在耶里哥曠野追上了漆德克雅。此時他的軍隊已離開他逃散了。
But the army of the Caldeans pursued after the king, and tooke Zedekiah in the desert of Iericho, and all his host was scattered from him.
9 加色丁軍隊擒獲了君王，帶他上哈瑪特地的黎貝拉去見巴比倫王，巴比倫王即宣判了他的罪案。
Then they tooke the king and caryed him vp vnto the king of Babel to Riblah in the lande of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon him.
10 巴比倫王在黎貝拉當著漆德克雅眼前殺了他的兒子，和猶大的眾首領，
And the king of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah, before his eyes he slew also al ye princes of Iudah in Riblah.
11 然後剜了漆德克雅的眼，給他帶上鎖鏈，送往巴比倫去，直到他死，囚在監內。
Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and the king of Babel bound him in chaines, and caried him to Babel, and put him in pryson till the day of his death.
12 巴比倫王拿步高為王十九年五月十日，侍立於巴比倫王左右的衛隊長乃步匝辣當來到了耶路撒泠，
Now in the fift moneth in the tenth day of the moneth (which was the nineteenth yere of ye King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel) came Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward which stoode before the king of Babel in Ierusalem,
13 焚毀了上的殿、王宮和耶路撒泠所有的民房；凡是高大的建築都用火燒了。
And burnt the House of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire.
14 跟隨衛隊長的所有加色丁軍隊，拆毀了耶路撒泠周圍的城牆；
And al the armie of the Caldeans that were with the chiefe steward, brake downe all ye walles of Ierusalem round about.
15 城中剩下的人民和已投降巴比倫王的人以及剩下的工匠，隊長乃步匝辣當都擄了去，
Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward caried away captiue certaine of the poore of the people, and the residue of the people that remayned in the citie, and those that were fled, and fallen to the king of Babel, with the rest of the multitude.
16 只留下了當地一部分最窮的平民，作園丁和農民。
But Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward left certaine of the poore of the lande, to dresse the vines, and to till the land.
17 加色丁人又將上主殿內的銅柱，和上主殿內的銅座、銅海都打碎，把銅都運往巴比倫；
Also the pillars of brasse that were in the House of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea, that was in the house of ye Lord, the Caldeans brake, and caried all the brasse of them to Babel.
18 此外鍋、鏟、蠟剪、盆碟、香盤，以及行禮用的一切銅器，全都帶走；
The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musicke, and the basins, and the incense dishes, and all the vessels of brasse wherewith they ministred, tooke they away.
19 爵杯、提爐、盆碟、鍋子、蠟台、勺子和盆盂，凡是純金純銀的，衛隊長也都拿走了。
And the bowles, and the ashpannes, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlestickes, and the incense dishes, and the cuppes, and all that was of golde, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away,
20 撒羅滿王為上主殿做的兩根柱子，一個銅海和下面的十二個銅牛，及十個盆座：這些器皿的銅，重量無法估計。
With the two pillars, one Sea, and twelue brasen bulles, that were vnder the bases, which King Salomon had made in ye house of ye Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight.
21 至於兩根柱子，每根高十八肘；周圍是十二肘，有四指厚，中空。
And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteene cubites, and a threede of twelue cubites did compasse it, and the thicknesse thereof was foure fingers: it was holowe.
22 每根柱子上面有銅柱頭，高五肘，柱頭四周有網子和石榴，全是銅的；另一柱子同樣也有像這樣的裝飾和石榴。
And a chapiter of brasse was vpon it, and the height of one chapiter was fiue cubites with networke, and pomegranates vpon the chapiters round about, all of brasse: the seconde pillar also, and the pomegranates were like vnto these.
23 石榴有九十六個，往下懸著；網子四周共有一百個石榴。
And there were ninetie and sixe pomegranates on a side: and all the pomegranates vpon the net worke were an hundreth round about.
24 衛隊長又擒獲了大司祭色辣雅，大司祭責法尼雅和三個門丁，
And the chiefe steward tooke Sheraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the seconde Priest, and the three keepers of the doore.
25 由城中還擒獲了一個管理軍隊的宦官，七個在城裏搜到的君王的親信，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。
Hee tooke also out of the citie an Eunuch, which had the ouersight of the men of warre, and seuen men that were in the Kings presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captayne of the hoste who mustered the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the middes of the citie.
26 衛隊長乃步匝辣當捉住他們帶到黎貝拉去見巴比倫王；
Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the king of Babel to Riblah.
27 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 Babel smote them, and slewe them in Riblah, in the lande of Hamath: thus Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne land.
28 以下是拿步高擄去的人數：在第七年擄去的猶大人，為數是三千零二十三人。
This is the people, whome Nebuchad-nezzar caried away captiue, in the seuenth yeere, euen three thousande Iewes, and three and twentie.
29 拿步高第十八年，由耶路撒冷擄去的是八百三十二人；
In the eightenth yere of Nebuchad-nezzar he caried away captiue from Ierusalem eight hundreth thirtie and two persons.
30 拿步高第二十三年，衛隊長乃步匝辣當擄去了七百四十五名猶大人：擄去的人數共計是四千六百名。
In the three and twentieth yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde caried away captiue of the Iewes seuen hundreth fourtie and fiue persons: all the persons were foure thousand and sixe hundreth.
31 猶大王耶苛尼雅被擄後第三十七年，十二月二十五日，巴比倫王厄威耳默洛達客登極元年，大赦猶大王耶苛尼雅，放他出獄，
And in the seuen and thirtieth yeere of the captiuitie of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, in the twelfth moneth, in the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel, in the first yeere of his reigne, lifted vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, and brought him out of pryson,
32 親切與他交談，令他坐在與他一同在巴比倫的眾王之上，
And spake kindly vnto him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings, that were with him in Babel,
33 脫去他的囚衣，以後一生日日與王共進飲食。
And changed his pryson garmentes, and he did continually eate bread before him all the dayes of his life.
34 他的生活費用，在他有生之日，直到他死，每天不斷由巴比倫王供應。
His porcion was a continuall portion giuen him of ye king of Babel, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life vntill he died.
