2 Kings 25
1 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, the tenth day of the month, that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came, he and all his army against Jerusalem: and they surrounded it: and raised works round about it.
西底家背叛巴比伦王。他作王第九年十月初十日，巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒率领全军来攻击耶路撒冷，对城安营，四围筑垒攻城。
2 And the city was shut up and besieged till the eleventh year of king Sedecias,
于是城被围困，直到西底家王十一年。
3 The ninth day of the month: and a famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
四月初九日，城里有大饥荒，甚至百姓都没有粮食。
4 And a breach was made into the city: and all the men of war fled in the night between the two walls by the king’s garden, (now the Chaldees besieged the city round about, ) and Sedecias fled by the way that leadeth to the plains of the wilderness.
城被攻破，一切兵丁就在夜间从靠近王园两城中间的门逃跑。迦勒底人正在四围攻城，王就向亚拉巴逃走。
5 And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all the warriors that were with him were scattered, and left him:
迦勒底的军队追赶王，在耶利哥的平原追上他；他的全军都离开他四散了。
6 So they took the king, and brought him to the king of Babylon to Reblatha, and he gave judgment upon him.
迦勒底人就拿住王，带他到在利比拉的巴比伦王那里审判他。
7 And he slew the sons of Sedecias before his face, and he put out his eyes, and bound him with chains, and brought him to Babylon.
在西底家眼前杀了他的众子，并且剜了西底家的眼睛，用铜链锁着他，带到巴比伦去。
8 In the fifth month, the seventh day of the month, that is, the nineteenth year of the king of Babylon, came Nabuzardan commander of the army, a servant of the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem.
巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒十九年五月初七日，巴比伦王的臣仆、护卫长尼布撒拉旦来到耶路撒冷，
9 And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and the houses of Jerusalem, and every house he burnt with fire.
用火焚烧耶和华的殿和王宫，又焚烧耶路撒冷的房屋，就是各大户家的房屋。
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, which was with the commander of the troops, broke down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
跟从护卫长迦勒底的全军就拆毁耶路撒冷四围的城墙。
11 And Nabuzardan the commander of the army, carried away the rest of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to the king of Babylon, and the remnant of the common people.
那时护卫长尼布撒拉旦将城里所剩下的百姓，并已经投降巴比伦王的人，以及大众所剩下的人，都掳去了。
12 But of the poor of the land he left some dressers of vines and husbandmen.
但护卫长留下些民中最穷的，使他们修理葡萄园，耕种田地。
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the temple of the Lord, and the bases, and the sea of brass which was in the house of the Lord, the Chaldees broke in pieces, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
耶和华殿的铜柱，并耶和华殿的盆座和铜海，迦勒底人都打碎了，将那铜运到巴比伦去了，
14 They took away also the pots of brass, and the mazers, and the forks, and the cups, and the mortars, and all the vessels of brass with which they ministered.
又带去锅、铲子、蜡剪、调羹，并所用的一切铜器，
15 Moreover also the censers, and the bowls, such as were of gold in gold, and such as were of silver in silver, the general of the army took away.
火鼎、碗，无论金的银的，护卫长也都带去了。
16 That is, two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made in the temple of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
所罗门为耶和华殿所造的两根铜柱、一个铜海，和几个盆座，这一切的铜，多得无法可称。
17 One pillar was eighteen cubits high, and the chapiter of brass which was upon it was three cubits high: and the network, and the pomegranates that were upon the chapiter of the pillar, were all of brass: and the second pillar had the like adorning.
这一根柱子高十八肘，柱上有铜顶，高三肘；铜顶的周围有网子和石榴，都是铜的。那一根柱子，照此一样，也有网子。
18 And the general of the army took Seraias the chief priest, and Sophonias the second priest, and three doorkeepers.
护卫长拿住大祭司西莱雅、副祭司西番亚，和三个把门的，
19 And out of the city one eunuch, who was captain over the men of war: and five men of them that had stood before the king, whom he found in the city, and Sopher the captain of the army who exercised the young soldiers of the people of the land: and threescore men of the common people, who were found in the city.
又从城中拿住一个管理兵丁的官，并在城里所遇常见王面的五个人和检点国民军长的书记，以及城里遇见的国民六十个人。
20 These Nabuzardan the general of the army took away, and carried them to the king of Babylon to Reblatha.
护卫长尼布撒拉旦将这些人带到在利比拉的巴比伦王那里。
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Reblatha in the land of Emath: so Juda was carried away out of their land.
巴比伦王就把他们击杀在哈马地的利比拉。这样，犹大人被掳去离开本地。
22 But over the people that remained in the land of Juda, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had left, he gave the government to Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan.
至于犹大国剩下的民，就是巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒所剩下的，巴比伦王立了沙番的孙子、亚希甘的儿子基大利作他们的省长。
23 And when all the captains of the soldiers had heard this, they and the men that were with them, to wit, that the king of Babylon had made Godolias governor, they came to Godolias to Maspha, Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and Saraia the son of Thanehumeth the Netophathite, and Jezonias the son of Maachathi, they and their men.
众军长和属他们的人听见巴比伦王立了基大利作省长，于是军长尼探雅的儿子以实玛利、加利亚的儿子约哈难、尼陀法人单户篾的儿子西莱雅、玛迦人的儿子雅撒尼亚，和属他们的人都到米斯巴见基大利。
24 And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying: Be not afraid to serve the Chaldees: stay in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
基大利向他们和属他们的人起誓说：“你们不必惧怕迦勒底臣仆，只管住在这地服事巴比伦王，就可以得福。”
25 But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ismael the son of Nathanias, the son of Elisama of the seed royal came, and ten men with him: and smote Godolias so that he died: and also the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him in Maspha.
七月间，宗室以利沙玛的孙子、尼探雅的儿子以实玛利带着十个人来，杀了基大利和同他在米斯巴的犹大人与迦勒底人。
26 And all the people both little and great, and the captains of the soldiers, rising up went to Egypt, fearing the Chaldees.
于是众民，无论大小，连众军长；因为惧怕迦勒底人，都起身往埃及去了。
27 And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Joachin king of Juda, in the twelfth month the seven and twentieth day of the month: Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Joachin king of Juda out of prison.
犹大王约雅斤被掳后三十七年，巴比伦王以未·米罗达元年十二月二十七日，使犹大王约雅斤抬头，提他出监；
28 And he spoke kindly to him: and he set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.
又对他说恩言，使他的位高过与他一同在巴比伦众王的位，
29 And he changed his garments which he had in prison, and he ate bread always before him, all the days of his life.
给他脱了囚服。他终身常在巴比伦王面前吃饭。
30 And he appointed him a continual allowance, which was also given him by the king day by day, all the days of his life.
王赐他所需用的食物，日日赐他一分，终身都是这样。
