2 Kings 25
1 Then it happened that, in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, he and his entire army, arrived against Jerusalem. And they encircled it, and they constructed fortifications all around it.
factum est autem anno nono regni eius mense decimo decima die mensis venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ipse et omnis exercitus eius in Hierusalem et circumdederunt eam et extruxerunt in circuitu eius munitiones
2 And the city was enclosed and besieged, even until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah,
et clausa est civitas atque vallata usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciae
3 on the ninth day of the month. And a famine prevailed in the city; neither was there bread for the people of the land.
nona die mensis praevaluitque fames in civitate nec erat panis populo terrae
4 And the city was breached. And all the men of war fled in the night along the way of the gate which is between the double wall at the garden of the king. Now the Chaldeans were besieging the city on all sides. And so Zedekiah fled along the way which leads to the plains of the wilderness.
et interrupta est civitas et omnes viri bellatores nocte fugerunt per viam portae quae est inter duplicem murum ad hortum regis porro Chaldei obsidebant in circuitu civitatem fugit itaque per viam quae ducit ad campestria solitudinis
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king, and they overtook him in the plains of Jericho. And all the warriors who were with him were dispersed, and they abandoned him.
et persecutus est exercitus Chaldeorum regem conprehenditque eum in planitie Hiericho et omnes bellatores qui erant cum eo dispersi sunt et reliquerunt eum
6 Therefore, having apprehended him, they led the king to the king of Babylon at Riblah. And he was speaking with him in judgment.
adprehensum ergo regem duxerunt ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha qui locutus est cum eo iudicium
7 Then he killed the sons of Zedekiah before him, and he dug out his eyes, and he bound him with chains, and he led him away to Babylon.
filios autem Sedeciae occidit coram eo et oculos eius effodit vinxitque eum catenis et adduxit in Babylonem
8 In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, the same is the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, went into Jerusalem.
mense quinto septima die mensis ipse est annus nonusdecimus regis Babylonis venit Nabuzardan princeps exercitus servus regis Babylonis Hierusalem
9 And he set fire to the house of the Lord, and to the house of the king. And the houses of Jerusalem, and every great house, he burned with fire.
et succendit domum Domini et domum regis et domos Hierusalem omnemque domum conbusit igni
10 And the entire army of the Chaldeans, which was with the leader of the military, tore down the walls of Jerusalem all around.
et muros Hierusalem in circuitu destruxit omnis exercitus Chaldeorum qui erat cum principe militum
11 Then Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, carried away the rest of the people, who had remained in the city, and the fugitives, who had fled over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
reliquam autem populi partem qui remanserat in civitate et perfugas qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis et reliquum vulgus transtulit Nabuzardan princeps militiae
12 But he left behind some vinedressers and farmers from the poor of the land.
et de pauperibus terrae reliquit vinitores et agricolas
13 Now the pillars of brass which were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass, which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke apart. And they took all the brass to Babylon.
columnas autem aereas quae erant in templo Domini et bases et mare aereum quod erat in domo Domini confregerunt Chaldei et transtulerunt aes omnium in Babylonem
14 Also, they took away the cooking pots of brass, and the scoops, and the forks, and the cups, and the little mortars, and all the articles of brass with which they were ministering.
ollas quoque aereas et trullas et tridentes et scyphos et omnia vasa aerea in quibus ministrabant tulerunt
15 And the leader of the military even took away the censers and the bowls, whatever was of gold for the gold, and whatever was of silver for the silver,
necnon turibula et fialas quae aurea aurea et quae argentea argentea tulit princeps militiae
16 and also the two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the temple of the Lord. The brass of all these items was beyond measure.
id est columnas duas mare unum et bases quas fecerat Salomon in templo Domini non erat pondus aeris omnium vasorum
17 One pillar had eighteen cubits in height. And the head of brass upon it was three cubits in height. And the network and pomegranates upon the head of the pillar were all of brass. And the second pillar had a similar adornment.
decem et octo cubitos altitudinis habebat columna una et capitellum aereum super se altitudinis trium cubitorum et reticulum et malogranata super capitellum columnae omnia aerea similem et columna secunda habebat ornatum
18 Also, the leader of the military took away Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and three doorkeepers,
tulit quoque princeps militiae Seraian sacerdotem primum et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum et tres ianitores
19 and from the city, one eunuch, who was in charge of the men of war, and five men out of those who had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher, the leader of the army who trained the young soldiers from the people of the land, and sixty men from the common people, who had been found in the city.
et de civitate eunuchum unum qui erat praefectus super viros bellatores et quinque viros de his qui steterant coram rege quos repperit in civitate et Sopher principem exercitus qui probabat tirones de populo terrae et sex viros e vulgo qui inventi fuerant in civitate
20 Taking them, Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, led them to the king of Babylon at Riblah.
quos tollens Nabuzardan princeps militum duxit ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha
21 And the king of Babylon struck them and killed them at Riblah, in the land of Hamath. And Judah was taken away from his land.
percussitque eos rex Babylonis et interfecit in Reblatha in terra Emath et translatus est Iuda de terra sua
22 But over the people who had remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had permitted, he appointed as ruler Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
populo autem qui relictus erat in terra Iuda quem dimiserat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis praefecit Godoliam filium Ahicham filii Saphan
23 And when all the commanders of the military had heard this, they and the men who were with them, specifically, that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, they went to Gedaliah at Mizpah: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah, the son of a Maacathite, they and their companions.
quod cum audissent omnes duces militum ipsi et viri qui erant cum eis videlicet quod constituisset rex Babylonis Godoliam venerunt ad Godoliam in Maspha Ismahel filius Nathaniae et Iohanan filius Caree et Sareia filius Thenaameth Nethophathites et Iezonias filius Maachathi ipsi et socii eorum
24 And Gedaliah swore to them and to their companions, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans. Remain in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.”
iuravitque eis Godolias et sociis eorum dicens nolite timere servire Chaldeis manete in terra et servite regi Babylonis et bene erit vobis
25 But it happened that, in the seventh month, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of royal offspring, and ten men with him, went and struck Gedaliah, who then died, along with the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.
factum est autem in mense septimo venit Ismahel filius Nathaniae filii Elisama de semine regio et decem viri cum eo percusseruntque Godoliam qui mortuus est sed et Iudaeos et Chaldeos qui erant cum eo in Maspha
26 And all the people, from small to great, and the leaders of the military, rising up, went away to Egypt, fearing the Chaldeans.
consurgens autem omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum et principes militum venerunt in Aegyptum timentes Chaldeos
27 Truly, it happened that, in the thirty-seventh year of the transmigration of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evilmerodach, the king of Babylon, in the year when he had begun to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, from prison.
factum est vero anno tricesimo septimo transmigrationis Ioiachin regis Iudae mense duodecimo vicesima septima die mensis sublevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis anno quo regnare coeperat caput Ioiachin regis Iuda de carcere
28 And he spoke kindly to him. And he set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him at Babylon.
et locutus est ei benigna et posuit thronum eius super thronum regum qui erant cum eo in Babylone
29 And he changed his garments that he had worn in prison. And he ate bread before him always, during all the days of his life.
et mutavit vestes eius quas habuerat in carcere et comedebat panem semper in conspectu eius cunctis diebus vitae suae
30 Also, he appointed to him an allowance without ceasing, which also was given to him by the king, for each day, during all the days of his life.
annonam quoque constituit ei absque intermissione quae et dabatur ei a rege per singulos dies omnibus diebus vitae suae
