Jeremias 52
1 It was the twenty-first year of Sedekias, when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Amitaal, the daughter of Jeremias, of Lobena.
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。
他行了上主視為惡的事，全像約雅金所行的一樣，
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 it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the ninth month, on the tenth day of the month, [that] Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and they made a rampart round it, and built a wall round about it with large stones.
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 city was besieged, until the eleventh year of king Sedekias,
圍攻京城，直至漆德克雅為王十一年。
6 on the ninth day of the month, and [then] the famine was severe in the city, and there was no bread 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 And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden; and the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness.
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 But the host of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the [country] beyond Jericho; and all his servants were dispersed from [about] him.
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 And they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Deblatha, and he judged him.
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 killed the sons of Sedekias before his eyes; and he killed all the princes of Juda in Deblatha.
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 the eyes of Sedekias, and bound him in fetters; and the king of Babylon brought him to Babylon, and put him into the grinding-house, until the day when he died.
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 And in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nabuzardan the captain of the guard, who waited on the king of Babylon, came to 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 burnt the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of the city, and every great house he burnt 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 host of the Chaldeans that was with the captain of the guard pulled down all the wall of Jerusalem round about.
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；
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 the captain of the guard left the remnant of the people to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
只留下了當地一部分最窮的平民，作園丁和農民。
17 And the Chaldeans broke in 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 they took the brass thereof, and carried it 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 Also the rim, and the bowls, and the flesh hooks, and all the brazen vessels, wherewith they ministered;
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 basins, and the snuffers, and the oil-funnels, and the candlesticks, and the censers, and the cups, the golden, of gold, and the silver, of silver, the captain of the guard 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 And the two pillars, and the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen under the sea, which [things] king Solomon made for the house of the Lord; the brass of which [articles] 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, the height of one pillar was thirty-five cubits; and a line of twelve cubits compassed it round; and the thickness of it [all] round was four fingers.
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 brazen chapiter upon them, and the length was five cubits, [even] the height of one chapiter; and [there were] on the chapiter round about network and pomegranates, all of brass: and correspondingly the second pillar [had] eight pomegranates to a cubit for the twelve cubits.
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 And the pomegranates were ninety-six on a side; and all the pomegranates on the network round about were 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 guard took the chief priest, and the second priest, and those that kept the way;
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 one eunuch, who was over the men of war, and seven men of renown, who were in the king's presence that were found in the city; and the scribe of the forces, who did the part of a scribe to the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land, who were found in the midst of the city.
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 And Nabuzardan the captain of the king's guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Deblatha.
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 struck them in Deblatha, in the land of Aemath.
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。
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。
拿步高第十八年，由耶路撒冷擄去的是八百三十二人；
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 it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year after that Joakim king of Juda had been carried away captive, in the twelfth month, on the four and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Ulaemadachar king of Babylon, in the year in which he began to reign, raised the head of Joakim king of Juda, and shaved him, and brought him out of the house where he was kept,
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 spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the kings that 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 changed his prison garments: and he ate bread continually before him all the days that he lived.
脫去他的囚衣，以後一生日日與王共進飲食。
34 And his appointed portion was given him continually by the king of Babylon from day to day, until the day when he died.
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。
