Jeremiah 39
1 And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
Anno nono Sedeciæ regis Iuda, mense decimo, venit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis, et omnis exercitus eius ad Ierusalem, et obsidebant eam.
2 In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth of the month, the city was broken into;
Undecimo autem anno Sedeciæ, mense quarto, quinta mensis aperta est civitas.
3 and all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebu, Sarsechim, chief chamberlain, Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Et ingressi sunt omnes principes regis Babylonis, et sederunt in porta media: Neregel-Sereser antistes Nabu, Sarsachim princeps eunuchus, Neregel-Sereser princeps magus, et omnes reliqui principes regis Babylonis.
4 And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out the way of the plain.
Cumque vidisset eos Sedecias rex Iuda, et omnes viri bellatores, fugerunt: et egressi sunt nocte de civitate per viam horti regis, et per portam, quæ erat inter duos muros, et egressi sunt ad viam deserti.
5 And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and they took him, and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, unto Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he pronounced judgment upon him.
Persecutus est autem eos exercitus Chaldæorum: et comprehenderunt Sedeciam in campo solitudinis Ierichontinæ, et captum adduxerunt ad Nabuchodonosor regem Babylonis in Reblatha, quæ est in Terra Emath: et locutus est ad eum iudicia.
6 And the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon slaughtered all the nobles of Judah;
Et occidit rex Babylonis filios Sedeciæ in Reblatha, in oculis eius: et omnes nobiles Iuda occidit rex Babylonis.
7 and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with chains of brass, to carry him to Babylon.
Oculos quoque Sedeciæ eruit: et vinxit eum compedibus ut duceretur in Babylonem.
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king's house and the houses of the people with fire, and broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Domum quoque regis, et domum vulgi succenderunt Chaldæi igni, et murum Ierusalem subverterunt.
9 And Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard carried away captive into Babylon the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the deserters that had deserted to him, with the rest of the people that were left.
Et reliquias populi, qui remanserant in civitate, et perfugas, qui transfugerant ad eum, et superfluos vulgi, qui remanserant, transtulit Nabuzardan magister militum in Babylonem.
10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard left [certain] of the people, the poor who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Et de plebe pauperum, qui nihil penitus habebant, dimisit Nabuzardan magister militum in Terra Iuda: et dedit eis vineas, et cisternas in die illa.
11 And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had given charge concerning Jeremiah by Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard, saying,
Præceperat autem Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis de Ieremia Nabuzardan magistro militum, dicens:
12 Take him, and keep an eye upon him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
Tolle illum, et pone super eum oculos tuos, nihilque ei mali facias: sed, ut voluerit, sic facias ei.
13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the body-guard sent, and Nebushazban, chief chamberlain, and Nergal-sharezer, chief magian, and all the king of Babylon's princes,
Misit ergo Nabuzardan princeps militiæ, et Nabusezban princeps eunuchus, et Neregel-Sereser princeps magus, et omnes optimates regis Babylonis,
14 even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should conduct him away home. And he dwelt among the people.
miserunt, et tulerunt Ieremiam de vestibulo carceris, et tradiderunt eum Godoliæ filio Ahicam filii Saphan ut intraret in domum, et habitaret in populo.
15 And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
Ad Ieremiam autem factus fuerat sermo Domini cum clausus esset in vestibulo carceris, dicens:
16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good, and they shall come to pass before thy face in that day.
Vade, et dic Abdemelech Æthiopi, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Ecce ego inducam sermones meos super civitatem hanc in malum, et non in bonum: et erunt in conspectu tuo in die illa.
17 And I will deliver thee in that day, saith Jehovah; and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid;
Et liberabo te in die illa, ait Dominus: et non traderis in manus virorum, quos tu formidas:
18 for I will certainly save thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thou shalt have thy life for a prey; for thou hast put thy confidence in me, saith Jehovah.
Sed eruens liberabo te, et gladio non cades: sed erit tibi anima tua in salutem, quia in me habuisti fiduciam, ait Dominus.
