Jeremiah 52
1 Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was king for eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
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。
2 And he did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Jehoiakim had done.
他行了上主視為惡的事，全像約雅金所行的一樣，
3 And because of the wrath of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.
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。
4 And in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round it.
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，
5 So the town was shut in by their forces till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah.
圍攻京城，直至漆德克雅為王十一年。
6 In the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.
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，
7 Then an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight out of the town by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town: ) and they went by the way of the Arabah.
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。
8 And the Chaldaean army went after King Zedekiah and overtook him on the other side of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.
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。
9 Then they made the king a prisoner and took him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath to be judged.
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。
10 And the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes: and he put to death all the rulers of Judah in Riblah.
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，
11 And he put out Zedekiah's eyes; and the king of Babylon, chaining him in iron bands, took him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
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。
12 Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.
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，
13 And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire:
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。
14 And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.
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；
15 Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners the rest of the people who were still in the town, and those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the workmen.
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，
16 But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.
只留下了當地一部分最窮的平民，作園丁和農民。
17 And the brass pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took all the brass away to Babylon.
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；
18 And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.
此外鍋、鏟、蠟剪、盆碟、香盤，以及行禮用的一切銅器，全都帶走；
19 And the cups and the fire-trays and the basins and the pots and the supports for the lights and the spoons and the wide basins; the gold of the gold vessels, and the silver of the silver vessels, the captain of the armed men took away.
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。
20 The two pillars, the great water-vessel, and the twelve brass oxen which were under it, and the ten wheeled bases, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
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。
21 And as for the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and twelve cubits measured all round, and it was as thick as a man's hand: it was hollow.
至於兩根柱子，每根高十八肘；周圍是十二肘，有四指厚，中空。
22 And there was a crown of brass on it: the crown was five cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.
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。
23 There were ninety-six apples on the outside; the number of apples all round the network was a hundred.
石榴有九十六個，往下懸著；網子四周共有一百個石榴。
24 And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;
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，
25 And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and seven of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.
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。
26 These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
衛隊長乃步匝辣當捉住他們帶到黎貝拉去見巴比倫王；
27 And the king of Babylon put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was taken prisoner away from his land.
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。
28 These are the people whom Nebuchadrezzar took away prisoner: in the seventh year, three thousand and twenty-three Jews:
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。
29 And in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he took away as prisoners from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons:
拿步高第十八年，由耶路撒冷擄去的是八百三十二人；
30 In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners seven hundred and forty-five of the Jews: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
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。
31 And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year after he became king, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison.
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，
32 And he said kind words to him and put his seat higher than the seats of the other kings who were with him in Babylon.
親切與他交談，令他坐在與他一同在巴比倫的眾王之上，
33 And his prison clothing was changed, and he was a guest at the king's table every day for the rest of his life.
脫去他的囚衣，以後一生日日與王共進飲食。
34 And for his food, the king gave him a regular amount every day till the day of his death, for the rest of his life.
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。
