耶利米书 52
1 西底家登基的时候年二十一岁，在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母亲名叫哈慕她，是立拿人耶利米的女儿。
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.
2 西底家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，是照约雅敬一切所行的。
And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Joakim had done.
3 因此耶和华的怒气在耶路撒冷和犹大发作，以致将人民从自己的面前赶出。
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.
4 西底家背叛巴比伦王。他作王第九年十月初十日，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军来攻击耶路撒冷，对城安营，四围筑垒攻城。
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.
5 于是城被围困直到西底家王十一年。
And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Sedecias.
6 四月初九日，城里有大饥荒，甚至百姓都没有粮食。
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.
7 城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜间从靠近王园两城中间的门，出城逃跑；迦勒底人正在四围攻城。他们就往亚拉巴逃去。
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.
8 迦勒底的军队追赶西底家王，在耶利哥的平原追上他。他的全军都离开他四散了。
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.
9 迦勒底人就拿住王，带他到在哈马地利比拉的巴比伦王那里；巴比伦王便审判他。
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.
10 巴比伦王在西底家眼前杀了他的众子，又在利比拉杀了犹大的一切首领，
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias before his eyes: and he slew all the princes of Juda in Reblatha.
11 并且剜了西底家的眼睛，用铜链锁着他，带到巴比伦去，将他囚在监里，直到他死的日子。
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.
12 巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初十日，在巴比伦王面前侍立的护卫长尼布撒拉旦进入耶路撒冷，
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.
13 用火焚烧耶和华的殿和王宫，又焚烧耶路撒冷的房屋，就是各大户家的房屋。
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.
14 跟从护卫长迦勒底的全军就拆毁耶路撒冷四围的城墙。
And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the general broke down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
15 那时护卫长尼布撒拉旦将民中最穷的和城里所剩下的百姓，并已经投降巴比伦王的人，以及大众所剩下的人，都掳去了。
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.
16 但护卫长尼布撒拉旦留下些民中最穷的，使他们修理葡萄园，耕种田地。
But of the poor of the land, Nabuzardan the general left some for vinedressers, and for husbandmen.
17 耶和华殿的铜柱并殿内的盆座和铜海，迦勒底人都打碎了，将那铜运到巴比伦去了，
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.
18 又带去锅、铲子、蜡剪、盘子、调羹，并所用的一切铜器、
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
19 杯、火鼎、碗、盆、灯台、调羹、爵，无论金的银的，护卫长也都带去了。
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:
20 所罗门为耶和华殿所造的两根铜柱、一个铜海，并座下的十二只铜牛，这一切的铜多得无法可称。
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.
21 这一根柱子高十八肘，厚四指，是空的，围十二肘。
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.
22 柱上有铜顶，高五肘；铜顶的周围有网子和石榴，都是铜的。那一根柱子照此一样，也有石榴。
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.
23 柱子四面有九十六个石榴，在网子周围，共有一百石榴。
And there were ninety-six pomegranates hanging down: and the pomegranates being a hundred in all, were compassed with network.
24 护卫长拿住大祭司西莱雅、副祭司西番亚，和三个把门的，
And the general took Saraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and the three keepers of the entry.
25 又从城中拿住一个管理兵丁的官，并在城里所遇常见王面的七个人和检点国民军长的书记，以及城里所遇见的国民六十个人。
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.
26 护卫长尼布撒拉旦将这些人带到利比拉的巴比伦王那里。
And Nabuzardan the general took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon, to Reblatha.
27 巴比伦王就把他们击杀在哈马地的利比拉。这样，犹大人被掳去离开本地。
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.
28 尼布甲尼撒所掳的民数记在下面：在他第七年掳去犹大人三千零二十三名；
This is the people whom Nabuchodonosor carried away captive: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews.
29 尼布甲尼撒十八年从耶路撒冷掳去八百三十二人；
In the eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor, eight hundred and thirty-two souls from Jerusalem.
30 尼布甲尼撒二十三年，护卫长尼布撒拉旦掳去犹大人七百四十五名；共有四千六百人。
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.
31 犹大王约雅斤被掳后三十七年，巴比伦王以未·米罗达元年十二月二十五日，使犹大王约雅斤抬头，提他出监，
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.
32 又对他说恩言，使他的位高过与他一同在巴比伦众王的位，
And he spoke kindly to him, and he set his throne above the thrones of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
33 给他脱了囚服。他终身在巴比伦王面前吃饭。
And he changed his prison garments, and he ate bread before him always all the days of his life.
34 巴比伦王赐他所需用的食物，日日赐他一分，终身是这样，直到他死的日子。
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.
