2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built turrets against it round about.
Factum est autem anno nono regni eius, mense decimo, decima die mensis, venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, ipse et omnis exercitus eius in Ierusalem, et circumdederunt eam: et extruxerunt in circuitu eius munitiones.
2 And the city was besieged until the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Et clausa est civitas atque vallata usque ad undecimum annum regis Sedeciæ,
3 On the ninth of the [fourth] month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
nona die mensis: prævaluitque fames in civitate, nec erat panis populo terræ.
4 And the city was broken into; and all the men of war [fled] by night, by the way of the gate between the two walls, which [leads] to the king's garden (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about); and they went the way toward the plain.
Et interrupta est civitas: et omnes viri bellatores nocte fugerunt per viam portæ, quæ est inter duplicem murum ad hortum regis (porro Chaldæi obsidebant in circuitu civitatem) fugit itaque Sedecias per viam, quæ ducit ad campestria solitudinis.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Et persecutus est exercitus Chaldæorum regem, comprehenditque eum in planitie Iericho: et omnes bellatores, qui erant cum eo, dispersi sunt, et reliquerunt eum.
6 And they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon unto Riblah; and they pronounced judgment upon him,
Apprehensum ergo regem duxerunt ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha: qui locutus est cum eo iudicium.
7 and slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
Filios autem Sedeciæ occidit coram eo, et oculos eius effodit, vinxitque eum catenis, et adduxit in Babylonem.
8 And in the fifth month, on the seventh of the month, which was in the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the body-guard, servant of the king of Babylon, came unto Jerusalem;
Mense quinto, septima die mensis, ipse est annus nonus decimus regis Babylonis: venit Nabuzardan princeps exercitus, servus regis Babylonis, in Ierusalem.
9 and he burned the house of Jehovah, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem; and every great [man's] house he burned with fire.
Et succendit domum Domini, et domum regis: et domos Ierusalem, omnemque domum combussit igni.
10 And all the army of the Chaldeans that were with the captain of the body-guard broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Et muros Ierusalem in circuitu destruxit omnis exercitus Chaldæorum, qui erat cum principe militum.
11 And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
Reliquam autem populi partem, quæ remanserat in civitate, et perfugas, qui transfugerant ad regem Babylonis, et reliquum vulgus transtulit Nabuzardan princeps militiæ.
12 But the captain of the body-guard left of the poor of the land for vinedressers and husbandmen.
Et de pauperibus terræ reliquit vinitores et agricolas.
13 And the brazen pillars that were in the house of Jehovah, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of Jehovah, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried the brass thereof to Babylon.
Columnas autem æreas, quæ erant in templo Domini, et bases, et mare æreum, quod erat in domo Domini, confregerunt Chaldæi, et transtulerunt æs omne in Babylonem.
14 The cauldrons also and the shovels and the knives and the cups, and all the vessels of copper wherewith they ministered, they took away.
Ollas quoque æreas, et trullas, et tridentes, et scyphos, et mortariola, et omnia vasa ærea, in quibus ministrabant, tulerunt.
15 And the censers and the bowls, that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, the captain of the body-guard took away.
Necnon et thuribula, et phialas: quæ aurea, aurea: et quæ argentea, argentea tulit princeps militiæ,
16 The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of Jehovah: for the brass of all these vessels there was no weight.
id est, columnas duas, mare unum, et bases quas fecerat Salomon in templo Domini: non erat pondus æris omnium vasorum.
17 The height of one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the capital upon it was brass, and the height of the capital three cubits; and the network and the pomegranates, upon the capital round about, all of brass: and similarly for the second pillar with the network.
Decem et octo cubitos altitudinis habebat columna una: et capitellum æreum super se altitudinis trium cubitorum: et retiaculum, et malogranata super capitellum columnæ, omnia ærea: similem et columna secunda habebat ornatum.
18 And the captain of the body-guard took Seraiah the high priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three doorkeepers.
Tulit quoque princeps militiæ Saraiam sacerdotem primum, et Sophoniam sacerdotem secundum, et tres ianitores.
19 And out of the city he took a chamberlain that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, who were found in the city, and the scribe of the captain of the host, who enrolled the people of the land; and sixty men of the people of the land that were found in the city.
Et de civitate eunuchum unum, qui erat præfectus super bellatores viros: et quinque viros de his, qui steterant coram rege, quos reperit in civitate: et Sopher principem exercitus, qui probabat tyrones de populo terræ: et sexaginta viros e vulgo, qui inventi fuerant in civitate.
20 And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard took them and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah;
Quos tollens Nabuzardan princeps militum, duxit ad regem Babylonis in Reblatha.
21 and the king of Babylon smote them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his land.
Percussitque eos rex Babylonis, et interfecit eos in Reblatha in terra Emath: et translatus est Iuda de terra sua.
22 And [as for] the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left behind, over them he appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan.
Populo autem, qui relictus erat in Terra Iuda, quem dimiserat Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, præfecit Godoliam filium Ahicam filii Saphan.
23 And all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah, and they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, namely, 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 Maachathite, they and their men.
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 Nathaniæ, et Iohanan filius Caree, et Saraia filius Thanehumeth Netophathites, et Iezonias filius Maachathi, ipsi et socii eorum.
24 And Gedaliah swore unto them and to their men, and said to them, Fear not to be servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Iuravitque Godolias ipsis et sociis eorum, dicens: Nolite timere servire Chaldæis: manete in terra, et servite regi Babylonis, et bene erit vobis.
25 And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.
Factum est autem in mense septimo, venit Ismahel filius Nathaniæ, filii Elisama de semine regio, et decem viri cum eo: percusseruntque Godoliam, qui et mortuus est: sed et Iudæos et Chaldæos, qui erant cum eo in Maspha.
26 And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.
Consurgensque omnis populus a parvo usque ad magnum, et principes militum venerunt in Ægyptum timentes Chaldæos.
27 And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh of the month, [that] Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
Factum est vero in anno trigesimo septimo transmigrationis Ioachin regis Iuda, mense duodecimo, vigesima septima die mensis: sublevavit Evilmerodach rex Babylonis, anno, quo regnare cœperat, caput Ioachin regis Iuda de carcere.
28 and he spoke kindly to him, and set his seat above the seat of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
Et locutus est ei benigne: et posuit thronum eius super thronum regum, qui erant cum eo in Babylone.
29 And he changed his prison garments; and he ate bread before him continually all the days of his life;
Et mutavit vestes eius, quas habuerat in carcere, et comedebat panem semper in conspectu eius cunctis diebus vitæ suæ.
30 and his allowance was a continual allowance given him by the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.
Annonam quoque constituit ei sine intermissione, quæ et dabatur ei a rege per singulos dies omnibus diebus vitæ suæ.
